She is adorable!  I like that she holds that ball in her mouth.

Awww shes so cute!!
Will she need surgery to fix her front legs? Also is this condition (forgot the name) common in Newfs? I ask because several years back I had a Newf pup in a class of mine who had the same thing.

I can't see what's wrong with her legs but that's probably because I don't know what I am looking for.

       If you look at the second picture you can see how she toes out.  It will probably lead to arthritis because it puts more pressure on the ankle joints.  Our vet was afraid it was a condition where the growth plates stop growing on one of the lower bones while the growth plate on the other lower bone doesn't, which is why we had to send x-rays to Tufts but luckily it's just bad conformation that's best left alone. 
        She loves soccer and it took about 5 seconds when she first started playing to realize that if she picks it up you can't kick it away from her.  She also learned how to dribble the ball and to stop it.  She barks until you take her out to play or will stare at the bin where we keep the ball until we give in and play.

Yep this is what the pup had.
Glad to hear she won't need surgery to fix it. Good luck with her:)

She is beautiful! Those are great pics :)

I hope everything works out with her legs. If anyone can help it's tufts - they are overpriced, but deffinately know what they are doing! We have taken Zoey there for a few things and I love that we are close enough that we can do that. Do you live in MA too?

Zoey looks just like Kali's best buddy Katy.  We're in Southeastern CT our town is right between the casinos.  Kali has two Saints she loves to play with that belong to my mom's boss, who is our vet.  I'll have to post some pics of them sometime.

She's very pretty. Kali's feet don't look that bad and I should imagine she'll only improve more as she matures. I've definitely seen worse.
