Here at our home, we have dedicated ourselves to giving our brown giant girls the best we can give to insure their safety and health for future generations.
More than twenty years ago, my husband rescued his first newf and a love story began. He quickly learned not only was Braxton smart but more agile than he ever gave the giant breed credit. After Braxton passed, my husband received for his birthday a coupon for a newfoundland puppy.
Angus was an Irish spotted newf who we spoiled shamelessly with attention. As he rounded his first year we began to notice a lack of physical fortitude and took him for X-rays to learn the heartbreaking conclusion of Hip Dysplasia.
We gave Angus as long of a life as he could give him. In turn, he gave us several years of laughter and love. However, in the end, because of his hip condition, it took it's toll on us and him.
It was at the time of Angus' initial diagnosis, we began looking at the statistics of Dyplasia and how it effects large and giant breeds and made a decision to try to improve those statistics by trying our hands at only breeding high quality dogs to improve those stats. Many months of research followed and lots of questions with our vet who, at the time owned a newfoundland.
While going to some dog shows, we came across a beautiful brown male newf. Needless to say, we were in love and began doing research and speaking to breeders and finally found an extremely competant breeder who brought us our first brown girl. Our first female came from a highly reputable breeder and with her an exemplory lineage. We decided to show her, get her Championed and bred her with one of the other males from the same breeder we got our girl from. Amber gave us our first litter and the rest is history.
We will only breed dogs who, firstly, have good to excellent hips, eyes and heart and second have good lines and quality personalities. We also only breed the females twice. Consequently, we don't breed often but when we do, we try to ensure as much quality as we can allow. Any good breeder knows however, there are no guarantees on the perfection of a litter as genetics can throw displasia in randomly. But we do our best to keep the lineage as clean as possible.
Please, when shopping for a newfoundland puppy, remember they are cute little bear- like creatures that grow into huge adorable, bear- like creatures who don't know their size and slobber profusely. Read up on every detail before making up your mind. There are a lot of caveats to owning a large breed. But the pay back in love and loyalty is also enormous. We screen our possible adopters with diligence to ensure the owner who receives one of our puppies know what they are getting into and will love and care for their giant breed as we do. Warning: Remember giant breeds are NOT for everyone and definitely not for the faint of heart. Slobber is a common occurrence and they tend to gravitate to water, mud and the smelliest thing you can think of to roll in.....then want you to love them up afterwards!
We invite the people who are thinking of adding a giant breed to their family to view a link on our website to of our girls certifications and lineages.
