Greetings! ,
Well, another National Specialty has come and gone. Congratulations to all of the winners. You can see the full results at the National Website. A huge thank you goes to all of the members of NCA and its Regional Clubs who worked tirelessly to make sure the event ran smoothly, and the attendees had a great time. We would like everyone who attended the 2011 Specialty to give us their input on what things they liked and ways that we could improve for next year. Please TAKE OUR SURVEY. Responses will be collected and used in planning next years' event.

Coming When Called...Or Not
|  When you call your Newf, does he drop everything and head for you at a dead run and sit down as soon as he gets to you ... every time, no matter where you are and what he is doing when you call? No? Well, it could be a matter of life or death some day, or, at the very least, annoying when he doesn't. If you have resorted to begging, bribing or "counting to three" with your dog, he is:
� Pulling your chain � Showing you who is boss
� Telling you that you have to catch him before the two of you will meet again or telling you that he doesn't have to come when he is called unless he feels like it.

| 2011 Eukanuba Breeder's Stakes |  Eukanuba Dog Foods proudly announces the Eukanuba Breeder's Stakes. The Eukanuba Breeder's Stakes is an event designed to honor a group of unsung heroes - the purebred dog breeder. Breeders are the backbone of the sport, dedicating their lives to planning and producing generation upon generation of the finest and healthiest representatives of their breed.
The Eukanuba Breeder's Stakes is an event designed to celebrate these noble efforts. This special competition is designed to evaluate an overall breeding program rather than the traditional approach of evaluating a single specimen. Respected expert judges will evaluate the breeder's ability to consistently produce superior dogs of uniform type, health, and conformation - consistent with the breeder's mission of improving their chosen breed.

Be The Change
NCA Charities Need You
| | All of us, individually and collectively, want to believe that we can make a difference. We look for
ways to use our time, our talent and our money to make positive changes in our world. However, we
often feel frustrated by the short-term duration of the work that we do. We work hard to gather
support and budget wisely, every year, year after year. We organize successful silent auctions, straw
draws and change drives, raising much-needed funds for special projects, but as soon as they are over,
we start planning for the next one, because the need will return. Well, we can't effectively plan several
years of annual budgets at once, and we can't effectively organize more than one year's fundraiser
at a time, but we can take some other steps that will have a long-term positive impact on our breed.
