Hmmm...you sound kind of familiar to me.  Like we might be related or something.   ;)

Welcome to Big Paws Only.

I've never heard of an Irish Spotted Newf.  I can't wait to see pics of her.  Tell us all about your Newfs.

An Irish Spotted Newf is also called a "mismark."  My understanding/explanation of an IS is they have too much white to be considered a black, and not enough white to be a landseer.  (Of course there's alot of genetics in there that I have NO clue about or even try to explain!  LOL)  She has 4 white paws, a white chest, and white tip on her tail.  He head is all black, but sometimes they have a white blaze or other white on their faces.  I believe if they are going to be shown they can be shown in the "black" class.  Don't quote me on that one though because I'm not positive on that one.  :) 
Here is a pic where you can see her white feet and tail. 

Here is her white chest...and to the right is her big bro Owen.  :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Kelly and I have 2 Newfs.  A 2 year old black male named Owen and a 7 month old Irish Spotted girl named Hope.  The fur and drool fly high and free around here!  I already recognize a few people here and am looking forward to getting to know more of you. 

There are alot of big paws in my life.  I had a Golden for 12 years.  At one point there were 5 Goldens in our extended family.  My sister now has a lab and 2 Mastiffs.  Her newest Mastiff is a rescue believed to be 6-8 years old.  My in laws have a Doberman, and our aunt and uncle have a Golden.  I'm so used to big dogs I'm afraid that I would step on a little one.   ;)
