AKC Awards for Canine Excellence
|  In 1999, The American Kennel Club took action to express its time-honored respect for the extraordinary canine-human bond, as well as its appreciation for the innumerable ways in which dogs meaningfully contribute to our lives. That initiative gave rise to The AKC Humane Fund Awards for Canine Excellence (ACE), which celebrated its first presentation year in 2000.
To qualify, the dog must have performed some exemplary act, whether large or seemingly small, that has significantly benefited a community or individual. The dog can be AKC registered, able to be registered, or a mixed breed. One award will be given every year in each of the following five categories: Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue, Therapy, Service, and Exemplary Companion Dog. Learn More.

National Pet ID Week
|  Do you know where your pets are right now, and could you find them if they were lost? It's National Pet Identification week, and we're sharing important reminders of how to protect your pets from being lost.
In the event your pet is lost, stolen or involved in an emergency situation, identification and tracking can be an important factor in the pet's recovery.The best ways to identify your pet are:
Collar with updated and easily readable tags
Microchipping with updated owner information
You should also keep a recent photo of your pet available to make lost/found flyers and make sure that your yard has secure fencing and regularly check all gates and latches for wear and tear. According to HomeAgain™ 1 in 3 pets goes missing during its lifetime, and without proper ID, 90% never return home, don't let your Newf be one of these statistics.

by Jenni Lott
When most people think "dog agility," odds are they aren't thinking about the Newfoundland. Border Collies, Shelties, even Golden Retrievers come to mind, but certainly not Newfoundlands. That is one of the reasons that competing in agility with my Newfoundland is so much fun, and also one of the reasons it can be so frustrating. READ MORE
