Sandbears Go With Flo (Flo) - D.o.B: 15 October, 2007 | |
Flo lives with Paul and Alison Dodd in Harwich, Essex. She is unquestionably a Daddy's girl, and then some!
Like her litter sister, Sally, she has inherited the me, me, me nature from Dreamie and is something of a "Diva". Living only a couple of hundred yards from the beach, it's not surpising that Flo is very much into swimming, even in the depths of winter when it isn't quite so convenient ... Paul tells us that they leave the blaster permanently plugged in ready! Flo is a member of the Grangewaters Working Newfoundlands group who train in Essex. She is getting on well with her training and passed Section A and Section B Water Tests in 2009. Flo was Paul and Alison's first Newfoundland and she has done what all newfies tend to do, she's got them totally hooked on the breed. In fact Paul and Alison are now so into Newfoundlands that they have produced and maintain the excellent UK Newfoundlands Info web site. |
