| Information about getting a Newfoundland |
|---|
Owning a Newfoundland Dog requires a large commitment of time and money. Grooming, training, and otherwise caring for a Newfy is a labor of love,
but a labor nonetheless. If you are considering making this commitment, we encourage you to learn as much as you can about the breed. Educate yourself not just about the many positive and pleasant aspects of sharing your life with these wonderful animals, but also about their potential health problems and other issues that may affect your decision. You should also learn as much as you can about any breeder from whom you are considering acquiring a Newfoundland.
The Newfoundland Club of America
web site provides not only a list of breeders, but also a wealth of information to help you make an informed decision. More information for Newfoundland puppies can be found at
Brief Primer on Newfoundland Dogs (Dogs 101 - Newfoundland)
