Cheating today....Hubby took this picture yesterday.....I use Annabelle as a Demo dog for Obedience and some agility....she loves , show off This is her favorite thing to do .......:) This girl just has fun

Wow...That is very red, great pic :)

:cheer: for the alphabet.well done I also love the sepia picture, it is very touching......... April 1..........Do you think we can do this???? Two dogs watching the Course we put up for paws in the Park. Just loved the way they were watching ;- They watched for ages, sadly their owner did not give them a go......Most dogs had such fun , as did their owners :)

Bumped again...getting closer :)

That is a beautiful picture and a wonderful thing to do.....

March 27......Our sweet brady

Love the ant........... Mar 26.........Indy with the early morning sun on him

March 25....weekly view. It is getting greener and there are some birds on the fence

Katy seemed sound her whole 2.5 years..She is also very fit and whilst doing her gorilla walk and twisting to chase another of our dogs, she did her cruciate ligament....That is why i decided to get her hips checked whilst under. Not a penn, because this was going to be just a see what it is like. Well they are not terrible and most likely will be fine for her lifetime, but I will not breed from her. hence the desexing. We had planned to breed, with her Breeders support. We have a very sound and fully health-checked male, but now he will only be used by the Breeder. There is a bit of a yes/no about cruciate's anyway..Are they or are they not genetic, so we are playing it safe. there are plenty of good scoring newfies around. Maybe one day I will get another Bitch..Now I just want to get katy as fit as possible and back to water rescue training, which she is ace at. She needs soun knees to beach the boat and pull the people ashore. the hips should stay OK if we build up the muscles like they were pre-surgery.....She is walking so well post-op. Just keeping her contained and on lead is driving her nuts :) There is no way I would recommend hip surgery before 12 months..bones need to develop. I work in a Radiology department and it is amazing the changes you can see from child to adult..Same for dogs. Hip dysplasia up to certain levels can be dealt with if we get the dogs fit and allow the muscles and tendons to develop...throw them into swimming and lots of it. that is why Katy only shows on x-ray Just like with humans some people are just out there to cut open and get paid lots of $$$'s and play with peoples emotions, because they love their dogs. I was lucky, the Ortho vet told me not to worry about it, keep her on glucosamine/chondroiton, Omega's, swimming and fit........ PS and lean, my newfies are very Lean........Some in the show ring say too lean :)

I wish you guys all the best, maybe numbers will help

Sadly I picked my puppy from really good scoring parents and i checked quite a few sibling too...But my dog has scored rather badly, my youngest bitch that is. I bought her as a puppy. She has just had her hips done whilst she was under for a TPLO. Mind you the vet at the Specialist Ortho Centre said many people would still breed from a newfie with her hips, she will not require treatment and is sound, we won't...She will be desexed when she has her check-up x-rays for her TPLO at six weeks. And my rescue newf and my re-home boy have both scored incredibly well :).......All come from the same lines/kennel. I will still always buy from scored parents and will still go for those that have scored low/well. I think I was just unlucky with my Katy.....One out of three dogs scoring badly is not too bad in the giant world. I agree it will be those people not doing it, who say it is a waste of time.

I am sure someone could do it.........try some different camera specialty shops or see if you can find a camera club....Surely someone has a setup to do it....Good luck, it would be awesome to see those old pictures come to life again :)

Mar 24............Another sunset

I spent some money in the USA and had some plaques done of our four I am amazed at how they look.....you can see who is who, just like that. they were $25.00 US each and even the postage was not that bad..i thought it was just something different :) Here is the link, It shows some other breeds dog and pet portraits customs offered by newfdog on Etsy
