I am very proud to be a small part of making a Versatile Newfoundland (VN) by handling these special dogs to their AKC Championships.    A Versatile Newfoundland requires a lot of dedication and training and is a great reward for the owner, breeder and handler(s).   

 

A Versatile Newf (VN) title is awarded by the Newfoundland Club of America and is to recognize the special newfs that have completed each of the following titles:  NCA Water Rescue Dog Title, NCA Draft Dog Title, AKC or CKC Companion Dog Title, AKC Championship

 

This page is dedicated to give the proper recognition to these special dogs.   

Watch for another addition to this page in the future:)

"ANDIE"
VN CHAMPION Mollybrook of Kilyka's Savvy-Girl CD, WD, WRD, WRDX, DD
(VN CH Mollybrooks 'Isiah' CD, CDX, DD, TDD, WD, WRD  X
VN CH Kilyka's Mary Elizabeth CD, WD, WRD, DD, TDD - ROM) 
Coming from two Versatile Newf parents...I guess it was only fitting that Andie follow in her parent's footsetps!:)
Andie and her owners are very special!  Once Andie got rolling she finished her championship quickly in 2005 and even went Best of Breed her first and only day shown as a special!  However, Mary Ann (her owner) truly did the hard part of this...she trained and handled Andie to all her obedience, water, and draft dog titles.   Gayle, Andie's co-owner, had the next hardest job....traveling and supporting all of us to this fantastic accomplishment:)  Congratulations to everybody involved...it truly takes a team!
