LITTERS:

Kivisilmän N-  (b. 26.11.2009)

Vera is Capri's second puppy. It is said that the firstborne of the litter is always the most stubborn one, but in this case, it was the second.

Vera has all Capri's good characteristics, without the bad ones. She's even more active, though that was one criteria in choosing her. After all, all we wanted was a good working dog.

With Vera we have been to waterwork, shows and to dog school. Vera's personality matches well with her hobbies: full of energy whenever needed. She does waterwork like a pro. As a puppy she surprised us with her eagerness to swim in everything and everywhere she could get.

Vera hasn't got an endless stomach, but she eats everything she can get a hold of: jumps on the tables and steals what she can get a hold of. Everything from plastic to folios..

Our newfs have always been slow growers, and Vera is not an exception. At four years of age she grew a lot (and became more newf-like). Capri, her mother, was like this too and grew to be at her best only after her 5th birthday.

HEALTH:

Vera's been healthy, no skin problems (though she's had a few hotspots after a wash because she believes that eating the dog dryer is better than just looking from aside). Hope she stays as healthy as her mother.

Vera has always been very muscly and unlike her mother, she stays in excellent physical condition very easily. In our experience she also moves more more than your typical Newfoundland.
