I also meant to add...I have been in dogs for over 27 years...I have been blessed by breeders I have bought from who have been happy to help and pass on wisdom and can say that they are now firm friends, with the same ideals. We are not 'precious' about knowledge and if people ask we answer honestly! I now Judge, Newfies and Working Breeds mainly and even after 27 years am STILL learning! Sometimes I believe that if you are deeply caring and sincere it has a way of letting the Breeders you buy from appreciate that...they tend to see through most bull!!
All the best, Dawn (I am both Newfiedreams and Yorkiedreams!)
