Competition







There is nothing like competition! The recent Winter Olympics has shown us many sides of competition from the Great Wins to the near losses, to the falls, crashes, and even deaths due to miscalculations, fears, and inexperience of the competitors. Anything can happen! Competing brings out the best in all of us, it gives us a chance to do our Best Performance. When you win the Gold Medal, or Best of Breed, or even Best in Show, you know you have done everything you could to make it happen, from the best conditioning, best nutrition, best training, best grooming products and techniques, ....there is a process, a formula, and even a natural talent or Breeding for Excellence. It is an effort above and beyond the usual. It is an effort with heavy doses of determination, desire, passion, and exertion of extraordinary energy. We are looking forward to our next competition, our next opportunity to show that we have it all together, that we have done everything to show that we are a Newfoundland of Excellence, a Newfoundland with substance and beauty who is worthy of Best of Breed. The dogs that win are not just beautiful, they show something special, whether it is a look in their eye, a movement in the ring, or a certain energy that catches the eye of the Judge, the Winner is something SPECIAL THAT DAY. Every competitor has a chance, every competitor has an opportunity to prove their prowess. We will enter Competition on the weekend of Memorial Day at the Hangtown Kennel Club in Placerville at the end of May, and expect to win. There is nothing like Competition....
