That is absolutely brilliant, not only another interest for you and Jess, but what a worthwhile thing to do.

Can't wait for the weekly updates

Brilliant! Looks like you both had a fab day! Well done!
Looking Forward to the weekly updates

Brilliant photos and I loved hearing about your first training session.

Look forward to hearing more.

jess will soon get the hang of it, knowing tob he would probably drown me 1st playing.

she'll be jumping out in no time, just wait and see.

Hi, thanks to all of you for your kind words. I am looking forward to sunday's training, just hope the weather gets better.

I will post some more pictures when i have them.

Its funny you say that because one of the trainers made a comment, she said that when she is in the water floating, waiting to be rescued they have to be so careful when they tell Whiz the newfy to jump from the boat as he is 13st and if he landed on the person in the water it could cause serious injuries (i had never thought about how nerve racking it could be having 13 stone of dog jumping right next to you like that.

Don't think i will be volunteering to be in the water for a little bit

Hi, I was just wondering if there'd been anymore updates on this, can't wait to find out how things are going, swimmingly I hope! (sorry)

Very cool pics! Several years ago a dog person in my area adapted the Newfoundland test to all breeds and created an organization called WETDOG. I'm a member, and Moxie is certified in water rescue. Here is a link to the website. http://www.wetdog.org/

Fantastic Jess, I've enjoyed reading your post

I watched a progamme a few months ago about Newfie's doing water rescue and it was amazing. Is it Newfie's that have webbed feet?

I'll look forward to the weekly updates

Great thread - looking forward to the next installment
