This is the original Newfoundland Club which was founded in the UK in 1886 to establish the standard and type for the breed now acknowledged by Newfoundland Clubs throughout the world.
The Kennel Club have sent us the annual Judges Health Monitoring Summary for 2015 and encouraged us to share this with Breed Club members and exhibitors.
They went on to say:
The Breed Standards and Conformation Sub-Group of the Dog Health Group noted that over 70 dogs were reported as having loose eyelids. The group is concerned by these reports and would invite any comments in regard to addressing this issue.

Over the years The Newfoundland Club has had many lovely trophies that have been kindly donated to the club.
Unfortunately with many changes to Trophy Stewards many of these over time have not been returned.
The committee would ask for everyone to share this with members current and old that we are doing a Trophy amnesty and ask for people to check their cupboards to see if they have any Trophies that might belong to the Club.
Please, could these be returned to any committee member at any show or event, no questions will be asked.
It would be lovely if we could find all the missing and unaccounted for trophies.
Thank you from the committee.

To promote the seriousness of the issue the Kennel Club has produced a three minute video called ‘Don’t Cook your Dog’, which is supported by Dogs Today magazine’s Don’t Cook Your Dog campaign. The video is available through YouTube, or click on it video below. It demonstrates how easily dogs can suffer from brain damage, organ failure and death, if left in a hot car.
The Kennel Club has issued the following advice regarding travelling with your dog during warm weather.
| Always | Never |
|---|---|
| Consider the weather and your journey in advance, especially if you don’t have air conditioning in your car. Think about whether the journey is absolutely necessary for your dog. | Leave a dog unattended in a car, even with the window open and water available. Take them out of the car and leave them in a secure, cool place with access to shade and water or take them with you, there are plenty of places that are part of the Kennel Club’s Open for Dogs scheme and will allow dogs in. |
| Plan your journey. Check out the Kennel Club’s Open for Dogs site and use the Dog Friendly app to find places that will allow dogs in with you. | Let your dog take part in unnecessary exertion in hot weather, or stand in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. |
| Make sure your dog has plenty of space in the car and isn’t squashed or forced to sit in direct sunlight. | Pass by a dog if you see one suffering in a car. Whether it be in a supermarket car park or at a show, make sure you let someone in authority know and if in doubt call the police or the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999. |
| Make sure plenty of stops are taken with lots of water available to drink. | |
| Take cold water in a thermos rather than a plastic bottle so it stays cold rather than being lukewarm. Ice cubes are helpful in a thermos for cooling too. |
To help avoid the need to leave dogs unattended in cars, the Kennel Club ‘Open for Dogs’ campaign encourages more businesses and services to welcome dogs. Thousands of dog-friendly attractions are listed on the website http://www.openfordogs.org.uk/, making it the ideal way to plan for trips for the whole family including your dog.
