Working Dogs

Penn-Ohio Newfoundland Club

The Newfoundland dog's heritage is to be a working dog.  Most are not happy without some function to perform, whether it is carrying their favorite toy around the house or swimming under a capsized boat to rescue someone.

Penn-Ohio and its members are constantly looking for new activities for our dogs. From our winter walks through the snowy paths of the regions parks to the rigors of life guarding, we take pleasure in the things we do with our dogs. We invite you to join us, either as a participant or as a guest.

This page will continue to reflect the most current information regarding our attempts to enjoy our dogs.
