Newfoundlands are world-famous for being "gentle giants." They are renowned for their sweet, patient, and affectionate nature, making them exceptional family pets that are famously good with children and other household animals.
We prioritize the long-term health of our dogs. Our puppies come with up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, a comprehensive veterinary health check, and a health guarantee covering genetic conditions common to giant breeds.
While pure black is the most common and recognizable, Newfoundlands also come in striking brown (chocolate), gray, and Landseer (distinctive white markings with a black head and patches).
Newfs are massive dogs. Adult males typically weigh between 130 to 150 pounds, while females usually range from 100 to 120 pounds. They grow rapidly during their first year but continue filling out and maturing physically until they are about 2 to 3 years old.

Absolutely! Newfoundlands were originally bred as working dogs for fishermen in the North Atlantic, equipped with webbed feet and a heavy water-resistant coat. They have a natural instinct for swimming and water rescue.
To reserve a puppy from an upcoming or current litter, we require an application and a deposit. This secures your spot in line for puppy selection, and we work closely with you to match the right puppy to your lifestyle.
Our commitment doesn't end at adoption. We provide lifetime support and guidance, offering advice on giant-breed nutrition, training tips, grooming recommendations, and answering any questions as your puppy grows.
