The Newfoundland Dog - "Breed Character"

"Many breed standards suggest that quality known as 'Breed Character' – all those characteristics that blend together to create the ideal. Those characteristics in total should separate the Newfoundland from all the other working breeds. Any blends that remind a judge of other breeds are not correct for the Newfoundland. When any breed begins to look like another breed, it is wrong for its breed.”

Ronald Pemberton (1998)

Andrew - Karazan Music Of The Night

A Note To Andrew (An Ode To Jack) Sometimes I look for traits in you Of a great big dog you never knew....... A dog that loved me all his days And understood in special ways. But that's not fair to you, Andrew; You're not a substitute; but yourself! You've eased the loss, soothed the pain And tugged my laughter home again. Yet, "Puppy", at times I almost start When your eyes recall him to my heart You'll never lack for love, it's clear Because of him, you're twice as dear. Forever. For always.
