Regional Clubs
The NCA is the parent organization of a large number of regional
clubs. The regional clubs are independent of the NCA but are a great source of
information for both the prospective puppy buyer and the new owner. Most of the
individuals in these clubs are very dedicated to the betterment of the Newfoundland and
are willing to spend a lot of time answering questions.
The regional clubs also provide a place for new owners to get
together and share problems and solutions. They are also places to provide good
times in the company of your Newfs.
You are strongly encouraged to contact a local regional club for
more information.

NCA Members Spotlight Socialization at AKC/Eukanuba Meet the Breeds -
winning a Group I!
|
|
 |
In a repeat of last year's thrilling AKC Invitational "Meet the Breeds" win, the NCA again took home top Working Group honors! Kudos to NCA members Denise
Hatakeyama and Joe Reinisch for a wonderful booth!
Joe Reinisch enlisted the help of his sons, Joseph and Hans, to help recreate a New England fishing village. The eight-foot tall working lighthouse, lobster traps, fishing net, the Reinisch men dressed in sailor suits, and
|
20-foot ocean mural provided a beautiful backdrop for showcasing the dogs. In addition to featuring an actual flashing red warning light, our lighthouse also had a built in video screen showing footage of working Newfoundlands from around the world.
Joseph Reinisch Jr’s. original Newf artwork was used to make coloring book handouts for all the visiting children. “Merry Christmas to you from the Newfoundland Club of America! Here’s a Newf for you to color” earned almost as many smiles as the dogs!
Thankfully, Denise Hatakeyama agreed to coordinate the event again this year. In addition to making sure our booth offered a full range of NCA educational handouts, hand sanitizers, and towels, Denise also arranged for our booth to always feature at least two Newfoundlands with their handlers. Always the gracious hostess, Denise had plenty of ocean themed stuffies she offered to the dogs at the end of their shift.
Even after months of planning and more than 18 hours working in the booth, bone weary and exhausted, Joe and Denise were heard planning for a “Meet the Breeds” Best in Show in 2008.
