Boradaile’s Toffee by Callard & Bowser, CGC (WR 04273008)

 

Hannah was born on 08/24/01. She was one of two bronze puppies in an otherwise all black litter. We were surprised to have bronze puppies because both Sever (Hannah’s father) and Livvy are black. While we knew that Sever is bronze recessive, the only bronze on Livvy’s side of the family was four generations back.

Bob had always wanted a bronze Newf and Helen Mancuso (Sever’s ‘mom') was kind enough to agree to a co-ownership for Hannah who spends most of the year with us at Stoneridge Farm and ‘vacations’ in Sand Lake, New York with Helen several times a year. 

Hannah's relatives

 

This handsome boy in the two photos directly below is Gus (Boradaile's Brown Gusto by
Ch Sandcastles Badd Leroy Brown  out of
Boradaile's Finally A Brown CD)
.  He is a line  'second cousin' to Hannah.

The woman in the first photo below, Helen Mancuso, is Hannah's co-owner.  She is brushing out Hannah's cousin, Gus

 

The photo directly below shows Gus also.

 

The series of photos below show Hannah as a baby

 

Directly below are Hannah, Baltik (the two bronze pups) and Simon, one of the black littermates.  They are on one of their first walks on the farm.  They are pictured here going up the stairs to the horse paddocks.  Aren't they just the cutest little things?

Sever (Ch Boradaile's Black as Ever), Hannah's father, is pictured below with his other daughter, Nellie, who is Hannah's half sister and Gus' mother.

The three photos below are of Hannah as a baby.  She was the prettiest puppy we ever had!  She was so perfect that she almost looks like a stuffed puppy!

The pretty boy below is Hannah's half brother Andy winning Best of Breed.

Below, is Hannah's father, Sever and her mother, Livvy.  Both parents are black.  Livvy has her own page on this website.  To learn more about this sweet girl, Callard & Bowser's Olivia, go to her own web page on this site

 

As you can see, both Hannah's mother (below) and her father, Sever (above) are black.  So we were quite surprised to have two bronze pups in the litter.  Ain't Sever a handsome fella?  He's got a great personality also!

Hannah as a yearling - 

She's lying in the orchard in the tall green grass - we think that the green grass is a nice background for her lovely bronze coat.  

Below, Hannah's mother, Livvy.  She is shown on our farm 'dressed' for Easter.  She has her own page on this site.

 

Hannah winning 'Best of Breed' Puppy 

Hannah has been shown as a puppy by both Helen and Cheryl and did quite well. In fact, she frequently won “Best Puppy”. One judge described her as ‘…one of the soundest looking bronze I’ve ever seen!’

 

The two photos below are of Hannah's half sister, Nellie (Boradaile's Finally a Brown)

 

 

Hobbies

Hannah's hobbies include swimming and hiking with her family.  The photo below shows Hannah racing with Blackie - a neighbor's 10 year old black lab - after a swim in the pond.  Hannah was a young girl at the time but Newfs just can't keep up with labs no matter how old.  Soon after the 'race', Hannah was asking for 'nap time'.

 

 

 She enjoys playing with her little 'sister' Emmie.  The photo below shows them resting together 

She also loves chasing horses (bad girl!), eating horse manure and 'hunting' indigenous porcupines (also bad!).  

 

Hannah’s bronze brother, Baltik (below), went to live with Cliff and Oksana Jackim and is now being shown by Kathy Kalos.  Baltik is doing very well in the ring.  He is pictured below.  He is an enormous and very sweet boy!  (He also has his own page on this website.)

Baltik is OFA hips good, elbows & heart normal

She has recently begun to do draft work also and has become quite proficient at pulling her custom, handcrafted cart (see below).  In fact, she loves draft work so much, that Bob designed sort of a 'sledge' so that she can help take the hay and feed out to the horses in the morning and evening.

 

Hannah's half brother, Champion Winterwind's Cyrus, is shown below at the Troy Victorian Stroll.  He was pulling a cart decorated in Victorian  theme.  He is resting between rides.
