I got Annabelle as a rescue at 13months......
......We have had the pleasure of her delightful company now for nine months. the first few monts were fairly difficult. She was unruly and not potty trained. but we have done lots of training with both a private instructor and weekly kennel club sessions. She is now starting agility and starting her first trials (wish us luck). So I believe that training, training and more training is the answer. Annabelle is our second rescue newf and we did the same with our Zacky. They both became happy placid newfs.........
.....It is easier when you raise them from puppies, but the devotion you get from a rescue dog is very special. we always used to have puppies, but we now give rescues a second chance........
......I wish you all the best with your special newf
Hopefully a picture of Annabelle attached
