I recently returned from St. John’s, Newfoundland. The most eastern point in North America; it’s as close to Shannon, Ireland, as it is to St. Louis, Missouri. Newfoundland is an island made of rock and great people. So is Manhattan, NYC, but Newfoundland is a much different rock. And of course, there are many more people and dogs in Manhattan. We don’t get to see the dogs from Newfoundland often because of its location and the logistics of getting dogs to shows elsewhere.

Wherever it developed, it was a popular companion dog of the elite and wealthy in continental Europe for centuries.
What does the voice inside your head say to you when you’re standing outside the ring, looking at your competition? And if you just thought to yourself, “I don’t have a voice inside my head” that was the voice inside your head that made that statement.
Marc and I currently (although this is very soon to change) live in the South West of England, in a tiny Dorset village not too far from the sea.
