Samson (A Ch. Mugwump's Porto for Bacchanal son) enjoys an extraordinary life with his wonderful family in Washington state. Continue on to page 2 of Past Pups. “Misty Mtn Scout Smiles for U”- CD, NCA DD, NCA WD, RN, CGC, TDI Every now and again a breeder breeds a puppy that she knows is special. Although all of the puppies from his litter were wonderfully sweet, gentle and kind, Scout seemed to be more than that from day one. As soon as he learned to crawl and then walk, Scout sought out human companionship, rather than spending time in play with his siblings. The “smile” that he constantly wore on his beautiful face was charming. There was no doubt that he was special from birth. As every breeder knows, unfortunately, even though we’d like to keep those special pups, we breed so that others may have the love and devotion each dog shows us. Scout’s Mom, Sabrina, had been on my puppy waiting list for the longest time, and when going through my list, I knew I needed an exceptional home for this beautiful boy. Without a doubt, the day Sabrina and Rin came to take Scout home, they also took a piece of my heart. Sabrina was able to give Scout 24/7 care, taking him to work with her on a daily basis as a lifeguard at a public school, where he flourished in the environment of constant human contact. Everyone who has encountered Scout has been enamored with his easy going personality and his genuine love of humanity. Be they young or old, people are attracted to him because of his good nature and beautiful spirit. Had he been able to be shown (retained testicle since birth), he undoubtedly would have been our first Versatility Newfoundland, and although the title and subsequent recognition would have been nice, more importantly to us is his ability to show the world the true character and disposition of the Newfoundland breed. He is a wonderful ambassador of his breed, and we couldn’t be more proud of him! Thank you so much, Sabrina and Rin, for loving our wonderful boy so abundantly and for realizing his full potential!! Scout, your first Mom and Dad (both two and four legged) are SO proud of you!! Scout at twelve weeks old, with Sabrina's grandson, Nolan, four weeks old.

Doing what comes naturally to him- loving and kissing! Congratulations to Sabrina and Scout (Medic/Bria 2004), for completing the requirements for their Companion Dog title on May 27, 2006! Scout came back home to visit with us, and give us belated birthday-kisses. Happy second birthday, Scout!! Scout bringing in the boat. Scout saving his Mom from Niagara Falls (with a kiss)! Scout and Nolan, together again, participated in a Christmas 2006 Parade with bells on his paws, spreading Christmas cheer! At the 2007 Newfoundland National Specialty held in Boulder, CO, Scout earned his NCA Draft Dog title under Judge Judi Adler (the recipient of his kisses in the picture!). On August 18, 2007 at the SCNC Annual Water Test, Scout attained his Water Dog title. Way to go, Sabrina and Scout! Scout on his third birthday. Happy birthday, beautiful boy! Sabrina and Scout achieved Scout's Novice Rally title, with Scout attaining a perfect 100% on his last leg. What a wonderful job you have done with him, Sabrina. We are so incredibly proud of you!
