Nothin But Newfies

 

To start the new year off I thought it would be a good idea to get this blog a little organized. I’ve been writing this blog for over 8 years now. I’ve covered many topics and shared an abundance of stories but sometimes they get lost.

When I went over the results of the survey, I noticed that I had a few requests for Newfie posts that I’ve already written so I’m dedicating this post to listing all the Newfie related articles that I’ve posted over the last 8 years so that they’ll all be in one place and easy to reference if needed.

Before I list them by topic I want to make sure that everyone knows that I don’t consider myself a Newfie expert and that I’m not a breeder. I’m simply someone who loves the breed and has been lucky enough to have one in her life for the past 20 years. I learn something new all the time about this breed and I take the time to educate myself and I’ve had wonderful mentors over the years to help guide me.

You’re not always going to agree with what I have to say and I’m not always going to agree with what you have to say…..but, we should both be willing to keep an open mind. I do my best to use this platform to help and educate as much as I can. It’s one small way that I can  hopefully contribute to better the future of the Newfoundland breed.
