Titles for your Newfoundland
A Title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, a way to honor the dog, an ultimate memorial. It will remain in the record and in the memory for about as long as anything in this world can remain. Few humans will do as well or better in that regard. And though the dog himself doesn't know or care that his achievements have been noted, a Title says many things in the world of humans, where such things count.
A Title says your dog was intelligent, and adaptable, and good-natured. It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things that please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed.
A Title says that you loved your dog that you loved to spend time with him because he was a good dog, and that you believe in him enough to give him yet another chance when he failed, and that, in the end, your faith was justified.
A Title proves that your dog inspired you to have the special relationship enjoyed by so few; that in a world of disposable creatures, this dog with a Title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return. And when that dear short life is over, the Title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small set of initials before or after the name (Newfoundland Club of America)

Training Information



Is a Newfie the right fit for you?
Please consider the commitment and its cost, discuss it with your family and vet, and do your research. Newfies drool and shed more than the average breed. The initial cost of a puppy is simply the beginning. It needs to be understood that the expense of caring for any pet, especially a large breed such as a Newfoundland, is a lifetime commitment and should be anticipated and planned for accordingly. In addition to routine vet expenses, other COSTLY expenses do inevitably arise in their lifetime. If you decide you're interested in one of our puppies, please contact us first! We are very selective when it comes to choosing the right families for our puppies. We encourage you to email us or give us a call. Keep in mind that ALL puppies are cute! A questionnaire/reservation form must be submitted after we have spoken.
