In short, the Trust is you! It is the Newfoundland dog breeders, owners and supporters who pool their resources to make a difference in the lives of our beloved gentle giants every day. * Ashley enjoying a soft bed in her forever home. The Trust supports activities of both Rescue and the Newfoundland Health Challenge. The National Rescue Network provides a safety net for regional club rescue groups and areas where no regional club exists to find safe and loving forever homes for Newfoundlands in need. The Health Challenge helps us raise the needed funds to support Research Grants to improve the health of future generations of Newfoundlands. We are currently focusing our research efforts on genetic research in SAS, Cranial Cruciate Disease and basic scientific research to help researchers develop the tools necessary for development of genetic markers. Please help us spread the word about the work we do - can you forward our message to five friends? <http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?m=1101851326832&a=1119592309240&ea=christopher.n.plum%40gmail.com> Double Your Contribution Online This Week! <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001v4so84kJQPfJoQfjS-SoKfRVZY_mK73PrukKVe-aYxAucm-RHHZkYIUM8fXT7hAzi4lIHLpw-gz46cO5R2OPPqU8ZMBSSBu1iVTXL20YjFzSuzHGAJEQWxIaAbBGyS0cif9rMwiudwg94KB-iEh_Mf97X_ce8OzEZ0CDjwXdrqaH6D2cMgDCmYMt63O8zvOBJsuXBm-ilAE=&c=Beq6UmSYf_d2xKkITqXfupdthlYgtL2CeAa6U-gU9E6dIWq45grxeA==&ch=elzyiyBt0Sz_dfhV2I4omMHqkHWGbcDfBIeqNfQsxK-h-HDo0pNrGA==> Join NCA Charities in working towards a safe and healthy future for every Newfoundland.

She has made great strides in the training department and likes to follow us wherever we are in the house. I'm guessing the real story is that if the previous owner had put in training time, they wouldn't have given her up. Either she is very smart or I'm a good trainer. Hopefully a little of both. The main thing she has to work on still is manners with our other dog. I'm guessing it's just puppy stage but she likes to wrestle fairly regularly. Sometimes I get concerned that she should be an only dog but there have been times lately where I've caught Summer and Luke laying nicely by each other. I'm hoping I just have to be a little more patient. She seems to be putting on weight but I want to take her to the vet to step on the scale just to make sure she's at a good weight. Thanks again for placing this wonderful girl with us" - Ray 30 years ago the need for Rescue mirrored the needs of today. Since 1983 over 1,200 Newfs have been saved. Since the formation of NCA Rescue funding has been used for Veterinary Care and Regional Club Grants. The NCA Rescue network relies on countless hours of effort from Regional Clubs and dedicated individuals across the country who share their time, expertise, and hearts to transport, rehabilitate, groom, train and love these second hand dogs.

Some of the questions asked centered around what members felt were the most important functions of the club, and how the club should allocate resources. When asked to rank the importance of various activities of the NCA, both "Preserve and protect the Newfoundland breed" and "Work to improve the health of Newfoundland dogs" were rated "most important" by 91% of the members and overall got 7.4 and 7.7 out of ten respectively for resource allocation. A majority of the members, 74%, felt that the NCA does not spend enough on Health and Longevity with it capturing 8%** of the current annual budget. (**This figure does not represent spending for NCA Health Challenge Research Studies which are funded through your donations to the NCA Charitable Trust) The Steering Committee is interested in understanding what aspects of health are your highest priority. This survey is open to NCA members and non-members alike; it is not an anonymous survey, nor is it scientific. The goal is to obtain first-hand information from Newfoundland owners.

Recognized Dec. 11 during the Canine Health Foundation's Canine & Cocktails event in Orlando, Fla., were the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, the Irish Setter Club of America Foundation, the Newfoundland Club of America Charitable Trust, the Collie Health Foundation, the Golden Retriever Foundation and the American Boxer Charitable Foundation. The amounts raised by the groups to assist with canine research ranged from the Irish Setter Club's $131,100 to the American Boxer foundation's $1,180,130. "These clubs and organizations are making a lasting impact on canine health," said Shila Nordone, MS, Ph.D., the Canine Health Foundation's chief scientific officer. "Their donations ... are supporting research that addresses some of the most prominent health concerns for our dogs. We are tackling cancer, subaortic stenosis, hypothyroidism, degenerative myelopathy, epilepsy, bloat and cardiomyopathy. "Together, we are working to provide better treatments and more accurate diagnoses for all dogs." The Canine Health Foundation, a grant-making institution, will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2015. * Thank you for your support of NCA Charities <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001v4so84kJQPfJoQfjS-SoKfRVZY_mK73PrukKVe-aYxAucm-RHHZkYNNf58jNAMmRyHbZ6saly_CCUqhNsGd2WfV3QPegkww4-JKIjR6UmUDz30DL5YaFrnEJwruwsgQokzApg9LtETBRiUpJOJZOe_I96T6YjIIM02phkAH-kM8=&c=Beq6UmSYf_d2xKkITqXfupdthlYgtL2CeAa6U-gU9E6dIWq45grxeA==&ch=elzyiyBt0Sz_dfhV2I4omMHqkHWGbcDfBIeqNfQsxK-h-HDo0pNrGA==> and for sharing our passion to provide a safe and healthy future for every Newfoundland. * *Clyde Dunphy, chair CTMB* * [image: signature file] * *David Helming - Vice-chairman* *Mary L Price - Treasurer* *Mary Jane Spackman - Secretary* *Andy Zinsmeyer - Endowment Coordinator* *Pat Randall - NCA Board Liaison* *Kevin Gallagher - Board member* *Roger Powell - Board Member* *Janice Hight - Board member* [image: Newfoundland Club of America] <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001v4so84kJQPfJoQfjS-SoKfRVZY_mK73PrukKVe-aYxAucm-RHHZkYH_BQCxrRVwWIGsaLo0ZSf2h3sZrTriR4cojz9F5jxhBflhiRna9RQV8VwzN5I9OSS0V8UBfnMnqbDnkCdU9waMZmeKJXOWokjKeDKMZGB1-CYHbFbJVml0=&c=Beq6UmSYf_d2xKkITqXfupdthlYgtL2CeAa6U-gU9E6dIWq45grxeA==&ch=elzyiyBt0Sz_dfhV2I4omMHqkHWGbcDfBIeqNfQsxK-h-HDo0pNrGA==> Share the news with a friend! <http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=ql5jxfcab&m=1101851326832&ea=christopher.n.plum%40gmail.com&a=1119592309240> <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&m=001ku7uBNyNcbAS8r09cZ1UUg%3D%3D&ch=d3226840-35bf-11e3-ba65-d4ae5292c47d&ca=b74c6d11-e02e-40db-8135-515d7d3d9a88> This email was sent to christopher.n.plum@gmail.com by ncaenotes@ncadogs.org | Update Profile/Email Address <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=oo&m=001ku7uBNyNcbAS8r09cZ1UUg%3D%3D&ch=d3226840-35bf-11e3-ba65-d4ae5292c47d&ca=b74c6d11-e02e-40db-8135-515d7d3d9a88> | Rapid removal with SafeUnsubscribe <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&m=001ku7uBNyNcbAS8r09cZ1UUg%3D%3D&ch=d3226840-35bf-11e3-ba65-d4ae5292c47d&ca=b74c6d11-e02e-40db-8135-515d7d3d9a88>™ | Privacy Policy <http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp>. <http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=newsVE02> Newfoundland Club of America, Inc. | 17050 Foothill Blvd | Fontana, | CA | 92337 -- Chris Plum 5452 Kimberly Rd Minnetonka, MN 55345 952-426-0235
