MY FUTURE PLANS AND GOALS
UPDATED SEPT 12 2001
MY FUTURE GOALS ARE TO BECOME A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER OF THE BREED I LOVE.
Kaylars Ahoy Thar CapN Morgan CGC,POINTED IN CONFORMATION, AND ONE LEG TOWARDS HER C.D. WILL BE MY FOUNDATION FOR MY BREEDING PROGRAM. MORGAN HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING CLEARANCES:
PENN HIP      
Cystinura DNA Cleared.
Thyroid T-3 and T-4 levels normal
CERF
Heart Cleared every 6 months by our vet.
MORGAN HAS WORKED IN SAR, THOUGH WE ARE RETIRED SHE WAS AN AWESOME TRACKING DOG IN THE WOODS ETC. MORGAN HAS ALSO BEEN TRAINING IN WATER WORK FOR HER WD. WE CURRENTLY ARE WAITING FOR THE WATER TEST TO BE HELD CLOSER TO OUR LOCATION.
SHOWING FOR US IS LIMITED.
WE ARE CURRENTLY MEMBERS OF THE NCNC NEWF CLUB, AND SOON TO BE MEMBERS OF THE NEWF CLUB IN
OUR STATE. WE ALSO ARE MEMBERS OF THE MKC.

I PREFER THAT BUYERS GET TO KNOW ME WELL SO I AM ASSURED PUPPIES WILL BE IN A GOOD, SECURE, FOREVER HOME. I
WOULD PREFER ANY PUPS I HAVE FIRST, GO TO WORKING HOMES. THAT TOP PRIORITY WOULD BE SEARCH AND RESCUE WORKING DOGS, AND ALSO ABLE TO SHOW IN THE CONFORMATION RING.
I WANT TO HAVE BALANCE IN MY LINEAGE. WORKING TO ME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BREED RING, BUT EACH BALANCES OUT TO AN EVEN DOG.
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY TOEING-IN IN MY NEWFS, AND WANT TO SEE STRUCTURE THAT IS SOUND, NICE NECK ,SOLID FRONT, AND A GOOD REAR ,WITH ALSO A NICE HEAD AND DARK EYES.
MY CONTRACT IS GOING TO BE STRICT AND I AM GOING TO OFFER MONEY BACK TO PUPS THAT MAY END UP WITH CLINICALLY DIGNOSED HIP DISPLACIA.
I KNOW THAT PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN BUT THERE IS THAT ONE OR TWO PUPS THAT MAY NOT END UP WITH GREAT HIPS IN A LITTER AND I WANT TO BE IN CONTACT WITH BUYERS AS TO HEALTH OF PUPS.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON THE PROPER DIET AND THE EXCERCISE THAT SHOULD BE DONE ON A LIMITED BASIS THE FIRST 8  CRITICAL GROWING MONTHS.
THERE ARE SOME NEWFS THAT END UP WITH PANO, AND BUYERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF WHAT TO WATCH FOR AS FAR AS SYMPTOMS.
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS BREED NOW FOR 13 YEARS 1999, I HAVE 2 MENTORS THAT ARE GUIDING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR MY PROGRAM.
MY PREFERENCE IS THE LANDSEER VARIETY OF NEWFOUNDLAND. I LOVE THEIR ENERGY AND THEIR SPUNK. I LOVE THEIR FLASHY LOOK AND THE WAY THEY HAVE THIS CERTAIN AURA ABOUT THEM.
I WANT TO TEACH PEOPLE THAT WEIGHT SHOULD NOT BE AN OBSESSION, RATHER FOCUS ON THE STRUCTURE AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL RIBS. WEIGHT SEEMS TO BE A BIG THING TO PEOPLE, WANTING TO OWN A 200# DOG. MY GOAL IS NOT TO BREED OVERSIZED NEWFS, RATHER A NEWF THAT IS HEALTHY AND CAN WALK LONG DISTANCES AND SWIM ALL DAY WITHOUT LABORING AND TIRING QUICKLY.
READ THE BREED STANDARD,
(found by clicking here) PROPER WEIGHT FOR FEMALES IS 100-120 POUNDS, MALES 130-150.
OUR CONTRACT IS AN 18 MONTH GAURANTEE, WE REQUIRE PUPPY BUYERS TO PENN-HIP PUPPIES AT 16 WEEKS OF AGE.
WE ALSO ENCOURAGE USING BOTH REGISTRIES, OFA AND PENN HIP.
THERE IS MUCH CONTRAVERSY INVOLVED IN BOTH REGISTRIES. I BELIEVE THAT USING BOTH REGISTRIES, ARE TOOLS AND WE CAN LEARN FROM BOTH OF THEM. PLEASE GO TO THE PENN HIP WEBSIGHT AND READ ALL YOU CAN.



ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED WHILE WORKING WITH A LOCAL BREEDER OF NEWFOUNDLANDS, IS THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT LITTER. OUT OF A LITTER OF 6 PUPS THE AVERAGE OF SHOW QUALITY CAN BE 2 TO 4.
THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE PET QUALITY PUPS THAT MAY END UP WITH A FEW HEALTH PROBLEMS STEMMING ANYWHERE FROM THE FOOD THEY ARE BEING FED, WATER, THE ENVIRONMENT THEY ARE EXPOSED TO. AS MANY PRECAUTIONS AS EVERYONE TAKES, IT IS LIKE HUMAN CHILDREN, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE CHILD THAT IS EXTREMLY HEALTHY AND ANOTHER THAT HAS A WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM.
THERE IS NO COMPENSATION WHEN YOUR HUMAN CHILD GETS ILL. AND WE DO NOT DISPOSE OF THAT CHILD EITHER, IN WORKING WITH SHELTERS IT IS SO COMMON FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE UP THEIR PET BECOUSE IT HAS HEALTH PROBLEMS. WOULD THEY DO THAT TO THEIR CHILD? PLEASE CONSIDER, BEFORE BUYING ANY PUP, OR ADOPTING ANY PUP, LIFE IS NOT DISPOSABLE. DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT IF YOU REALLY DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS. SHELTERS ARE OVERFLOWING WITH UNWANTED ANIMALS. IF YOU DECIDE YOU WOULD LIKE A NEWF FROM MYSELF OR ANY OTHER BREEDER, WE WILL MAKE YOU SIGN OUR CONTRACT THAT STATES THAT IF AT ANY TIME OF YOUR LIFE YOU CANNOT KEEP YOUR DOG THE BREEDER TAKES IT BACK WITH PAPERS, OR WILL HELP YOU FIND IT A HOME.
ARE YOU CONSIDERING ADOPTING A NEWF?
