Expecting pups this spring and summer. Will update as breedings occur. I do have a waiting list, please get in touch now if you want considered for a baby! All pups are vet checked, wormed (starting at 3 weeks) and have first vaccinations. Pups are also health guaranteed (which includes hips & heart). Foundation stock OFA or Penn Hip, OFA hearts, cystinuria tested.
We do NOT sell to pet shops, brokers or puppy mills!! Please do NOT call asking for a couple of females....the answer is NO! We are very particular where our newfies go.
Our little 'furballs' are very special to us, therefore the correct home is a must. They are whelped and raised in our home, underfoot...NOT in a kennel. Newfs bond extremely close with 'their person' and require daily attention. These gentle giants live up to their name....both in size and nature.
We price our babies at around 1400.00 for pets, depending on the dog, conformation, pedigree etc. At pet pricing, you must understand the AKC registration is limited, which means the pup is AKC registered, but you do NOT have breeding rights and can never register a litter from the dog. Also, we require that the puppy be spayed or nuetered, when it is old enough. You must provide proof, from your vet, that the procedure was performed, otherwise, you will breech the contract and void your guarantee. I'm sorry we have to go this far, but as responsible newfie breeders, we stand firm with our decision to protect the breed. This is not meant to imply the puppies are 'pet quality', but you still must follow our guidelines to purchase a puppy at "pet prices"....no exceptions! At times, we do have a few select puppies that can be sold with full registration (breeding rights), cost is, of course different, and there are additional requirements.
We take the care of our newfies very serious and will not compromise by selling a pup to just anyone. You will (certainly should) have questions for us, and we do as well, for you. If you are looking to purchase a puppy and never speak to me again, then do us both a favor and go elsewhere! On the other hand, if your looking for a baby from someone who will always be there to help, answer questions, share stories, give direction and adore seeing pictures of her growing kids...then give me a call!! Better yet, come and visit!
Again, our newfies are part of the family, as are the puppies. We do not feel a newf is happy in a full-time kennel environment. Look folks, anyone can set-up a website and tell you whatever they like......this is why I invite you to come to our home, meet us, our newfies and the puppies (I'll even take you to our vets if you like)! Ask questions- are they breeding 4 or 5 different breeds of dogs? Do they know the exact times each and every puppy was whelped? When they no longer breed one of their dogs, do they take the responsibility to have that dog spayed/nuetered?
Ask for references from customers as well as their vet and call their vet by all means (be sure to find out HOW LONG they have been using the same vet)!!!!! Ask how often they feed their adults, what they feed them, and how long they have used the same food. Ask if they have any spayed or neutered Newfs. What time, if any, do their Newfs get OUT of the kennel...not in a run, not in an indoor kennel, but OUT of a kennel! Keep on asking, and you'll find that you will learn alot, some good, some maybe bad, but all of it will help you in making a very important decision. Forget anyone that doesn't have time to be bothered by your questions, well, if they won't answer you now, do you think they'll be there down the road for you? Do not, I repeat, Do NOT buy on impulse or because of reputation, or recognizing a kennel name. When you find the one breeder who knows everyone and bad-mouths everyone, you can be sure that a few months down the road, when you question them, you'll be the next person they're bad-mouthing.
Shipping- we very much prefer puppies to be picked up at our home. Sometimes, we can arrange to meet a few families, at one time, in a mutually agreed upon point (maybe an hour from our home). If this is not feasible, then we will ship a puppy via Delta Airlines, providing there is not a few plane switches or any layovers. You are responsible for paying airline charges and for providing an airline approved kennel (I can provide the kennel at a good price, but you must reimburse the cost of the kennel). Deltas charges vary depending upon your location, but generally is in the range of 175-195, plus kennel cost.
All puppies come with samples of the food they are raised on. We do recommend they be kept on the same food, and as a courtesy, will locate dealers in your area. Obviously, I have no control over what you feed the puppy. However, I can not stress enough how important the proper nutrition is to a growing giant breed puppy. What you feed your baby will affect it for the rest of his/her life.
Deposit information: We request a 30% down payment, $100.00 of which is non-refundable. The balance is due prior to the pup turning 8 weeks of age.
Please be careful and do your homework before purchasing a newfie. There are many good breeders, unfortunately just as many, if not more, puppy millers. This is not the time to budget shop, what you will put out in vet care for a puppy mill puppy, will be 3x the amount you would invest in healthy, well bred Newfoundland, from health tested parents.
Purchasing a newfie is a committment to care for the dog it's entire life......choose wisely! Please check the NCA for a wealth of information.
Well, if you've read all this and haven't left yet, then you must be truly interested in a newfie! Click on available puppies to see the fur babies :)
