Beginners should contact their local regional clubs to learn the dates of any upcoming water training workshops and water tests. And, as the kids prepare to go back to school, this might be a great time to locate and sign up for an obedience training class with your Newf. Even if you don't plan to participate actively in obedience competition, these classes are great fun and offer a wonderful socialization experience for your dog -- especially puppies.

Pet Fire Safety Day Hits Home with NCA <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs151/1101851326832/img/206.jpg> The NCA Board voted to present a plaque to the Sharon, Connecticut Fire Department thanking them for their heroic efforts to save the Kloofbear Newfoundlands (Evelyn De Reus and Brian Wessels) from the fire which leveled their kennel. Home fires are the most common disaster that the American Red Cross responds to - and also the most preventable. According to the United States Fire Administration, an estimated 500,000 pets are affected annually by fires. You can help firefighters help your pets by keeping collars and leashes at the ready in case firefighters need to rescue your pet. When leaving pets home alone, keep them in areas or rooms near entrances where firefighters can easily find them. Affix a pet alert window cling and write down the number of pets inside your house and attach the static cling to a front window. This critical information saves rescuers time when locating your pets. Make sure to keep the number of pets listed on them updated. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfBNtTOwuxiDgcXWXJjVJCBu1WHZ9MfqgDCP fDsYgG_vk7SkITUChXVju4jmE6fkgs-ev3kikmdrCkjDwjaRGuImkSlZF4qXcOj1hWlx38Q0YWjk C-bk7EIAEr1TD3RA6shvruikroE2MUuzF8oFV40MXe83u7puhY_qXzThJwp8i3UoYMsAlxTZ> Learn more Please Consider Joining the Newfoundland Ambassador Program puppy 7 <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs049/1101851326832/img/20.jpg> There are three simple reasons why anyone who has been an NCA member for three years or more should become a Newfoundland ambassador: You get to talk about how wonderful your dog and breed are; Your dog will get a chance to meet new people and help them decide if a Newf is right for them; You can give something back to the breed that has given you so much by helping educate the public about Newfies and thus ensure that anyone who decides to buy a Newf knows what they are getting, and gives the dog a good home. If, after reading the above reasons for becoming a Newf Ambassador, you are ready to make the commitment, <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfBwrThR3ZPv5pG4LVJK5HQ8eE-pja7j-mrp qctTCx0mrd8Nvtlz4hiIrpSoOHfkoWQ3Wa4Xvvo74-Jya9xt_AWMFgBt4zt6IVF0aJgtxyVE3GGe UZ9gF2fu0VswKFCNbphV9DA3KJfy8kdQqzWnXCmK> please visit the Newfoundland Ambassador page of the website. AKC All Breed Lure Coursing Lures in Newf The American Kennel Club recently created a new event that allows all dogs to discover the excitement of lure coursing. "The Coursing Ability Test can provide a wonderful community outreach opportunity, an enjoyable experience for dogs and owners and a way to expose a wider audience to the sport," said AKC's AVP of Performance Events Doug Ljungren. "Most dogs will chase a lure and have fun in the process." The Coursing Ability Test (CAT) is for any dog of any breed, including mixed-breeds, as long as it is at least 1 year old and individually registered or listed with AKC. To pass the test, a dog running alone must pursue a lure, completing the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within a given time. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfBnKJ8xM9I8BxFo4cQlMUrCj4dKQJr6wsBC Cn91tmxuXx7C29ZWQM-rd3seDGmjULTPJ9uU2Zb0KvV99eTdJpNVqZgao3JoJkjsYimqz1zXpGec icygfUK2GXehgUQFZz11B3F4gO_zpvtINCp6xtfaPo6NUWMSMFGo3dpD0RtENQ==> Learn More <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfDfDjJjkwVlv6rMkPPgtOo03f4Gwf76dMuP 2Uo0Fa1wH9Slihen8ViBsEqLMl2O8Vuk7_AHlSe0z0hz-4cKSDUMe27eK87SQ_YrrEFydm1RGB1O QQWjbyOm> Sampson passes a Coursing Ability Test (CAT) Sampson passes a Coursing Ability Test (CAT) Get More Info <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfC3S6hllniZ-yEHy-Gbi-Y4s1SgRG4oc_54 fVKgy8633VdQEULLRttemZu2zOrLR4zOi-ZpVxHXzYNUpBoLpQ5bHIRb55sswhl9vLngTaKnWDi0 QKfHc_lntdVpF06hY5w=> NCA on the Web <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfBGkBlqqU_Xq_Z805hSw_igAyAwKXVNrsQg PNGVVjTxemLBM0FZr1mikR64i-Hh8cZEw4LAYBZNdoAQMfmz0cRBGVZZEwWRPtWExMH8pBGNs_4R JbQQjTdB> NCA Charities <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfBwnH1MrKCm0NAwQCKhV2Na_a-JCb3xd9Rd YYQA2PTFX45gIjk7Egtn2-I8W8l6ByxxMR35C2GPOe3b6WFOQiQcbZa4JDm3-BP5vWxu7bzmiw== > NCA Rescue Network <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfBORAsu8wJkjhVwSVCmXapLK12cG7sm95OJ FJZjjqIGJu1-sZC5eG_XikqIzzrcs_2klVA4ZBE25aGZcHmZeLUfr9nsDoJ6-i_Amp-BU1RnXw== > NCA Puppy Info Center <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfDg8ZIsBTeTAQDuolF8yjOBS4rgNOmb2K_O LUIEX0b6PbbD-frW09P6-jXtTFJRiJ2tXZNcRsRAYcgoji5C6wICR5hdmf5Wsv0288trArIViw== > Newfoundland Dog Library <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001OBRVOzZ4VfDhSt0KC29yiK9AaJKpTlzYNWaxDRSNzBHn bz1mOFoDzTaYessZb3WTu89Lezt7p0vKttk0uBxYoMcWBJ-jVp05rDsa2mkia7lPjEGFfO_DrA== > NCA Database Looking for a Breeder?

Sometimes the rise of this entirely new class of communication has been accompanied by what has come to be viewed as cyber-harassment. Those engaged in cyber-harassment post negative comments and half or fabricated truths, often in a sarcastic manner, about individuals who cannot defend themselves. Members of the Newfoundland Club of America should consider social networking communication as public and, as such, understand that their comments reflect on themselves and the NCA. Members should consider carefully what and how they write and are encouraged to stress positive aspects of education rather than negative or sarcastic comments about owners, breeders, and/or Newfoundland fanciers.
