Introduction

My first contact with newfs was as early as
1972. I was four years old and when we moved to a new house I very soon
found out that neighbours had a wonderful, black newf-male called
Castro. I fell immediately in love! After (many) years of asking and
begging a newf , my parents finally caved in and after many problems on
the way, I got my very first newf, Caro
in 1984 from Sweden. Caro left us in 1996. My
sister Petra got also interested with this breed along the way.
At this moment I have three newfs at home, Molli, born 1997, Tippa (Manta's daughter) born 2003 and Turska,
born 2006. Turska is the first white & black in the family. I had
dreamed of getting wh&bl female for about 20 years and finally I
got Turska. All are shown in dog shows, in obedience and in water rescue
(well actually we haven't competed in water-rescue but have been
training that), but most of all, they are companion dogs, living in the
house.
My sister has three newfs, Manta, born 1997 (Molli's sister) , Meimi, born 2006(Tippa's daughter) and Rauha, born 2007.
Ensimmäinen kosketukseni newfoundlandinkoiriin oli aika
järisyttävä. Näin elämäni
ensimmäisen newfoundlandinkoiran, Castron, ja rakastuin!
Ikää minulla oli 4 vuotta ja Castro taisi olla lähes
saman ikäinen. Monen vuoden vanhempien pehmityksen jälkeen
sain ensimmäisen nöffini, Caron.
Toimme hänet Ruotsista 1984 ja hän lähti taivaan suureen
luutarhaan 1996 lähes 13-vuotiaana. Caron myötä
myös sisareni Petra innostui rodusta, joten tämä on
meille yhteinen harrastus.
Tällä hetkellä kotona on kolme nöffiä, Molli, Tippa ja Turska. Lisäksi sisarellani on kolme nöffiä, Manta , Meimi ja Rauha.
