The Best Newfie Partner
I wish I could take an ad out just to brag on my daughter/newfie partner. Not only do I want her to know how much I value her but, I also want the world to know how incredible she is. When I had a vision of being a Newfoundland breeder, I thought it would be a piece of cake. My mom raised AKC Siberian Huskies so I foolishly believed, ‘If mom did it as a single mom raising us kids, so can I”. As much as I love my mother, we are definitely not the same kind of breeders. And, in all fairness, Newfies are much bigger than huskies so I definitely underestimated that one. What I didn’t expect is that all of my kiddos (who were raised with Newfies) would be so hands on. I also didn’t expect for my daughter to take on all of the physical aspects of raising Newfies and their pups. I was diagnosed with a very aggressive, severe arthritis which was extremely difficult for me. I have always been an independent woman that carries the weight for myself and all of my loved ones. Suddenly not being able to physically do normal, every day things was devastating. My beautiful daughter stepped up and together we kept our Newfie business going and growing. Turns out, we make the best team and we just keep climbing up in our little, humble, Newfie business. We have 112 pups total, now. Thanks to our private Facebook group (for only puppy families of mine), We know every pup by name and we get to watch them grow up via pics, videos, updates, playdates and, there are a few of our local families that Karolaina gets to groom. It’s so awesome to reunite our pack with their pups and really witness the love that we have now spread from our beautiful Newfies, first. It’s the most fulfilling thing ever.
And, none of this would be possible without my beautiful daughter/gift from God/princess, Karolaina.
Our whole family salutes her because, without her, we would be unable to continue doing what we love…
and this Newfie life is the BEST!!
