Things You Can Do to Make Halloween Safer for Your Pet: If you plan to put a costume on your pet, make sure it fits properly and is comfortable, doesn't have any pieces that can easily be chewed off, and doesn't interfere with your pet's sight, hearing, breathing, opening its mouth, or moving. Take time to get your pet accustomed to the costume before Halloween, and never leave your pet unsupervised while he/she is wearing a costume.

You are your Newfoundland’s best advocate. Know what is normal for your Newf by checking their vital signs routinely when your dog is healthy, calm, and relaxed. This will help you give your vet concrete data when they are ill. Dehydration can be life-threatening. Catch it early by doing a skin pinch test by lightly pinching the skin on their back or at the top of their head. Well-hydrated skin will bounce back with ease, while dehydrated skin will take a little longer to retract. If your pup is severely dehydrated, their skin will not return to normal at all.

What our members say: "The NCA sponsors health research specifically for Newfoundlands. We have owned Newfoundlands for over 40 years and in that time the average lifespan has gone from 7-10 to 9-14. We will continue to be members to help support these activities.” The NCA is a community of volunteers who share a passion for Newfoundland Dogs.

Things You Can Do to Make Halloween Safer for Your Pet: Don't feed your pets Halloween candy, especially if it contains chocolate or xylitol (a common sugar substitute found in sugar-free candies and gum)

It is with deep sadness that the Newfoundland Club of America shares the passing of Connie Holt. A member of the NCA since 1971, Connie devoted more than five decades to the Newfoundland, as a breeder, exhibitor, judge, and mentor.
Connie bred Newfoundlands under the Companionway prefix, a line established by her mother, Nancy, one of the most respected kennels in the breed’s American history. Companionway dogs left a lasting mark on the Newfoundland in the 1970s and beyond and Companionway bloodlines continue to be found in pedigrees today.
Connie’s knowledge reached well beyond our breed. She was approved by the AKC to judge Newfoundlands, Great Pyrenees, Labrador Retrievers, Clumber Spaniels, Sussex Spaniels, the Owner-Handled Sporting and Working Groups, and Junior Showmanship. Exhibitors valued her fair, knowledgeable eye, and many juniors and newcomers found in her a generous teacher. The NCA extends its heartfelt condolences to Connie’s family, friends, and all who shared her love of the Newfoundland. Her legacy lives on in the dogs she bred and the people she mentored.

What our members say: "I joined the NCA because I like the people that own Newfoundlands. They seem to have an outlook on life that makes them fun to be around.” The NCA is a community of volunteers who share a passion for Newfoundland Dogs.

This girl Lives to MOVE! She has ALWAYS loved the water, but was starting her exercises with a “BANG!”, and then quickly looked back at me like, “Um, mom, I may have jumped the gun!’
This past weekend I decided to enter her in the BWD division at the Colonial Water Test, and she ROCKED THAT BEACH!! She just needed me there for a little extra direction and
encouragement.
I truly NOW believe that this new division is a GREAT stepping stone for our water dogs!
Can NOT wait to see what Mabel does next!
