Bruin Winner's Dog and Best of Winners!

Our very own Bruin was the man at the Providence show!  He took Winner's Dog and Best of Winners on Thursday, Reserve Winner on Friday, and Winners Dog on Saturday!  I think you'll all agree he is one stunning boy!  Congrats to Bruin, Kathy, and Mark!

Starting 2012 off Right! January 1 Training!

First day of the New Year was perfect for a little draft training!  Almost 50 degrees and no snow.  Who'd believe it is January in New England?  We had a good turn out and got in some great training.  

The group is heading out for a freight haul in the photo below.  All the dogs did a wonderful job.

This was the return trip.  Eva and Duffy don't look like they are new to this, do they?

I think the pups are saying "cheese!"

Now they are a little tired.  What a good looking group of brown, black, and landseer newfies!

We did a three minute down stay.

Mary Alice and Abby are navigating the removable obstacle.

We are hoping the weather holds out just a bit longer so that we don't have to pull those sleds out!

(Thanks to all the photographers:  Molly, Mary Alice, and Beej.  If others have more photos they want posted, send them along!)
