Julie has been exhibiting Newfs in conformation for almost as long as she has owned a Newf (which is a long time). Some notable wins have included multiple Working Group placements and NCA National class placements; along with Winners Dog and NCA Select Dog at the NCA Nationals. Julie is a member of NCNC and Chair of the NCNC Regional Specialty.
********************************************************************************************************
All event participants agree to abide by the NCNC Event Safety Rules and the NCNC Grievance Policy on Potentially Harmful Dogs outlined below.
NCNC Event Safety Rules
1) Dogs must be crated or leashed and collared at all times, except at working, performance or conformation activities when the dogs are required to perform off leash for training purposes.
2) If dogs are leashed, the length of the leash must not exceed SIX (6) feet and the leash may NOT be a retractable leash.
3) When on leash, dogs must be under control at all times. Do not let your dog approach another dog without permission from the other dog’s owner.
4) Any dog that, in the opinion of the event chair and designated Event Liaison representing the Board of Directors, appears potentially dangerous, shall be asked to leave the event promptly or be crated for the duration of the event. Anyone who witnesses a dog appearing to be potentially dangerous should bring their concerns to the event chair.
5) You are responsible for monitoring the well-being and safety of your dog(s). Check on them frequently.
6) Parents are responsible for supervising their children’s behavior. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
7) Clean up after your dog(s).

NCNC Grievance Policy on Potentially Harmful Dogs
Anyone who witnesses a dog appearing potentially harmful at a NCNC event should bring their concerns to the Event Chair. Part of upholding good sportsmanship is to take action through the appropriate channels, not through participating in gossip, in person or on social media, about an incident. If you are a witness to an incident of misconduct at an NCNC event, speak directly with the Event Chair.
The Event Chair shall ask any dog who they believe may cause harm to humans or other dogs to leave the event promptly or be crated for the duration of the event. If the Event Chair expels any dog, the Event Chair must file a report with the NCNC Board. The expelled dog will be suspended from future NCNC events unless the owner submits a written reinstatement request for the dog, and that application is granted in writing by the NCNC Board.
The NCNC has a policy of reciprocity with the AKC, the NCA, and all NCA regional clubs. Dogs who have misbehaved at events recognized by these organizations may also be suspended by the NCNC, and their owners may also apply for reinstatement. The NCNC does not take action on incidents of dog misbehavior at private gatherings.
