Finally - a use for all that hair!

All of that dead coat your dogs are blowing can be put to excellent use helping to clean up the horrid mess in the Gulf of Mexico!
The folks at the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans confirmed that they are still working with Matter of Trust, an environmental nonprofit, to collect donations of nylons, hair and fur, which can be used in making booms for containing oil.
Donations of nylons, hair and fur may be mailed to at the Ritz-Carlton, 921 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70112
Be sure to label the box- "boom donations"

Thanks to support from the Van Andel Research Institute, over 180 Newfoundlands donated DNA samples to the CHIC DNA Bank. This works brings the Newfoundland presence in the DNA data bank to over 1000 dogs, second only to Golden Retrievers. If you have not yet had an opportunity to submit your dog's DNA - it's not too late. Every sample is useful and the larger our base of samples the more attractive our breed is to potential researchers.
