Welcome to COL slippybearz! :D I'm only new to the world of dog-ownership (our first one isn't arriving until tomorrow week).

I'm always in awe of people who have newfies - they're closer to bears, not dogs! :005: They are such handsome creatures - any pics?

Pictures sound like a good idea  :luv:

Welcome to the site, I have Bracken a choccie roan cocker and Jasmine a lab cross...we name our female animals after plants and our male ones after mythological creatures. We currently have Hermes the cat and one day hope to get a male dog we can call Hector... It's nice having a theme.

Love the name Sequin,

Hi and welcome to COL  :D

Your dogs sound fab, I love their names. I live in West Lothian so you'll have to try to make it to one of our Scottish meet ups, I'd love to meet your newfies, and Spirit of course!  :D :luv:

I have 3 working cockers, Alfie is my 19 month old blue roan, Tilly my almost 3 year old solid liver and Rodaidh my 8 month old solid golden.
