Who Eats This Stuff?

My mom and dad keep trying to get me to eat these hard crunchie things that taste just terrible.

I really have to know is there any newfies out there that actually eat this stuff. They keep buying different kinds and think that I will eat it but it is the worst tasting stuff ever! Dad even tried to show me how good it was by sitting with me and eating them too!!...He even said some tasted bad and no wonder I didn't eat them. Just who does the quality control on this so called food. Its not any newfies thats for sure.

My mom thinks she is being so sneaky and buries cookies in with the kibble, but I just dig them out and eat them and leave the kibble...yuck!!!..

If there is any dog food company out there that thinks they can produce something fit for a newfie my mom and dad would really like you to let us know.

As you can see in the video not one of the 14 kinds they tried me on even came close to satisfying my hunger. And I haven't eaten for 2 days.....Its driving mom and dad crazy, but what can I do if they don't feed me something I like?

Hey Drew, Satch, Rebus...you guys getting any good food these days??

I know if I hold out long enough and look really sad, mom and dad will give me some cookies.

Meet The Karazan's

In the heart of Napa Valley California lives the Karazan's. Here is an introduction to some of the most beautiful Newfies past and present.

I had the pleasure of visiting this kennel and I have to say the girls looked and smelled marvelous mind you the competition is fierce, with the likes of Paris, Gaia, Hummer, Satchel and even Puppy, those girls are well looked after!

I hope to visit the kennel again someday soon.

Is That Gizmo??

Satchie and his dad were at a dog show in California, and a girl came up to them and asked "Is That Gizmo?" (Gizzy is so honoured to be mistaken for such a handsome boy)she had watched Gizzy's video's on youtube...too funny...this is dedicated to her..

Newfie Land Rescue

This is for my buddy Satch, just so you know that you don't have to go in the water to rescue!

In March 2004, Melvin Dawe of Sandy Cove, Bonavista Bay, told of Nelson, whom he met at Harbour Grace in 1948 while his ship was in dry dock. A delivery truck pulled up at a nearby building, and while the driver was inside, a small child crawled beneath his vehicle. Nelson became aware of a problem when the driver emerged and started for the truck. The vigilant dog hurried to the truck and inched his way underneath until he could get a grip on the child's clothing, then backed out, dragging the protesting youngster. Evidently, no one but the sailors and dockworkers were aware of Nelson's action - certainly not the child's parents or the driver.

But on the other hand....A Newfoundland dog is not as avid a swimmer as you might imagine and needs a good reason to go into the water. Harold MacPherson writes in the first volume of "The Book of Newfoundland" that when one of his dogs, Billy, was ten months old, he was taken along by a group who went to swim in the ocean. They failed to coax him into the waves but when MacPherson swam out some distance, yelled for help, then threw up his arms and sank, Billy howled and immediately rushed to his aid. He never again showed any reluctance to enter the water.

So Satch I think you should convince your dad to go out in the water and splash around and sink, then you can time how long it takes someone to rescue him....

The Dog Show World

We just spent the last two weekends getting up at 5 a.m. every day, going from one end of the island to another, from Campbell River to Victoria. After hours of refurbishing I had my 2 minutes of fame in the ring. Why is it those strange people want to touch and feel me all over? I mean all over!!... I just don't get it...I might have a little sniff here or there but to touch...not!!!...So I just sat down, enough is enough.



The best part was the girls, yup there was lots of them, I even tried to get close to one after the show but dad pulled me away from her. She was hot!! I also really like the Portuguese Water Dogs, they are always hanging out at the same time so I get to check them out too.


Mom told me that after last weekend I would have some time off to hang out at the beach. I would much rather be swimming instead of running around a ring, but if it makes mom and dad happy, I'll do it.







Dad keeps talking to me about my tail. I really don't get it...whats the big deal. They spend hours combing it and all they want me to do is keep it down. Nobody can see it then!

It was all very exhausting, but lotsa fun! I think its time for another nap.

The Newf days of Summer

These are a few of my favorite things!

Hurry up and throw the stick!
Where did it go?
It doesn't get much better than this, unless of course my buddies Satch, Andrew and Rebus were here.

Hope your having a good summer!
See you at the beach
