HOW TO FIND A REPUTABLE BREEDER

TOP 10 PUPPY BUYING MISTAKES

It is very important that you research a Newfoundland before you decide one is for you.  These adorable little fur ball puppies grow up to be 100+ pound adult dogs.  Without the proper training an extra large breed can be very difficult to manage.  Although the Newfs are an extra large breed they are still an active dog.  They have many endearing qualities but untrained they are a handful.  Any breed of dog requires a lot of training and guidance to become an acceptable member of the family.  This training can not be left until the dog is already out of control.  Many dogs end up in rescues for this very reason.  Newfoundland's do drool, there is no such thing as a dry mouth Newfoundland.  The correct head type on a Newfoundland will produce drool.  Now some Newfs drool more than others, but they all drool.  Newfoundland's also shed.  They shed hair like a Golden Retriever type only they have a lot more hair.  They have shedding seasons but they never stop shedding at any time of the year. 

Unfortunately, Newfs are plagued with many genetic diseases as well.  Some of the top on the list would be Hip Dysplasia, Sub-aortic Stenosis (SAS - heart murmur), Elbow Dysplasia, Cystinuria, Von Wildebrands Disease (blood disorder) and forelimb anomaly just to name a few.  Any breeder breeding Newfoundland's should have clearances for Hips, Elbows, Heart cleared SPECIFICALLY by a veterinarian Cardiologist, and Cystinuria (cannot breed two carriers or affected dogs).  The breeder should also be offering you a contract (lengthy) and a guarantee on your pup whether pet or show prospect.  Even though reputable breeders take the utmost care in matching up their breedings there are NO guarantees problems won't occur, but the breeder should take responsibility if any problems arise. 

Before purchasing a Newfoundland you should visit more than one breeder so you have something to compare.  If you are at a breeders home/kennel and it is not clean, well kept, records are not kept well, dogs are not in healthy looking condition, dogs are not friendly and pups don't seemed socialized and the kennel is not kept up, you should think twice before purchasing a pup from there (RUN).  You should try to visit breeders on the NCA or your local Regional Club breeders list.  They have to follow certain requirements before being put on the breeders list.  Those breeders should be a good starting point for you to use as a guide.  However, the clubs, this website, or the NCA does NOT endorse any Newfoundland breeders. 

You should also be prepared to answer many questions about yourself, family, schedules, and conditions the puppy will live in.  PLEASE understand it is like placing "children" in new homes to these breeders.  We have a lot of time, hard work and most importantly LOVE invested into our dogs and their puppies and we hope you would understand. 

Good luck in your quest for a Newfoundland and if you have any questions or comments email or phone us.  We would be happy to help.
