Summer in Newfoundland Bringing Home a Lab or Newfie Souvenir Posted on: Sat, 09 Jun 2007 12:15:13 PDT

Hi,

I'm planning a trip to different parts of Newfoundland. I have some
travel guides plus the net at my finger tips. These resources do not
address one of my questions. My question is about bringing home a
"souvenir" to the States. I don't know about you, but in the past I've
often brought souvenirs home from trips only for them to eventually
wind up in a yard sale or a box in the cellar. I feel if I bring
home a pet, that won't happen. I don't discard pets.

My understanding is that Labrador Retrievers and Newfoundland Retrievers
originated in Newfoundland. Are these breeds still plentiful in this
region? I will be traveling by car. How much would be involved in
adopting a Lab or Newfie in Newfoundland? What would be needed to bring
a pup or year old dog back to the US?

I have researched these breeds. I can accommodate one with only some
minor adaptations to my back yard, a six foot fence. I have had dogs
and cats before. I am not considering this on a whim.
