- Meet our Newfoundlands -
We selectively breed our Newfies for health, temperament and conformation. Many of them are 2nd and 3rd generation here on our farm! This allows us to become quite familiar with the health and temperaments of our bloodlines.
Our current breeding Newfoundlands
are hip tested (OFA and/or PennHIP) and Cystinuria and DM clear, with their individual test results listed below.

"Rigel" of the Titanic
Rigel is a beautiful 150# Irish Spotted, giant "puppy at heart!" Everyone who sees him in person says the pictures just don't do him justice and that he seems much BIGGER in real life! He is 29.5" tall at the shoulder. Rigel (pronounced "rī'jəl") is named after a Newfoundland dog who was instrumental in guiding a boatload of survivors to the gangway of the Carpathia after the Titanic sank.

The Giving Light of Eagle Ridge ("Luke")
Luke is a BIG, gorgeous boy, and just as sweet and gentle as he is handsome! He's a giant, laid back teddy bear with such a nice face! He's 155 pounds, and 30" at the shoulders - our tallest Newfie. He sires large pups with nice blocky heads!

Someday's Life Changes "Ebenezer"
"Eb" is our gorgeous new boy! He has a sweet, calm temperament and such a pretty head. He carries brown and Landseer! We had met Eb's sire, a huge, beautiful brown boy, years ago and always thought it would be nice to have one of his pups. We were excited and thankful when we had the opportunity to bring Eb here and look forward to seeing his pups grow and develop.

Adirondack Joe "Joey"
"Joey" is 150 pounds, tall and thick! He is a gorgeous black boy and definitely has the look we're going for as breeders - massive build, blocky head, long, thick coat etc. He's especially sweet and is special to us since we bottle-raised him from a pup, when he lost one of his eyes due to an infection that he developed before it even opened, hence the affectionate nickname "One-Eyed Joe!" His parents are Hope and Rigel (see under "Retired Newfs" below).

Jackson
Jackson is our old favorite. At 12 years of age, he's been here on the farm the majority of his life and sired some of our very first Newfie pups. Though he has appeared in random photos throughout our web-site over the years, we've wanted for some time to create a slide-show just for our own sweet "retiree" and are finally doing just that. We always wished we'd kept a puppy from him to continue his bloodline, and are hopeful that we may actually have pups from him again in what will probably be only a brief intermission in his "retirement". He spends most of his time lazily lying around or quietly asking for a little attention - he loves to be petted, and, if you just love on him a little, you'll have a buddy that stays right by your side! Jackson has a very gentle, patient, humble, calm, kind demeanor. He has that beautiful, blocky Newfie look that inspired us to pursue excellence in the conformation of our breeding program. Jackson is one special old boy.
Mr. General George (Standard Parti Poodle)
George is the Daddy of our NewfieDoodles/Newfypoos
George is a very affectionate and super intelligent 48 pound STANDARD POODLE...! Mama's favorite!
More than one person contacted us and asked if we ever considered Newfiedoodles for their possible hypo-allergenic curly coat and super sweet Newfie/Poodle temperament. Honestly, we hadn't considered it and half-heartedly thought we'd give it a try.....until we met GEORGE! George seems to think he's a 9 year-old little boy and LOVES playing with our youngest son. A dog just doesn't get any smarter or any sweeter than our Mr. General George!

Margoree
We were thankful to bring home Margoree from NY as a puppy in hopes that she would pass all her hip and health clearances for our breeding program. Thankfully, she has done just that! As an adult, Margoree is proving to be a HUGE asset to MFNs, and gives us solid brown and black as well as black/white and brown/white puppies. Super sweet, a bit shy, nice and blocky, and from a gorgeous fresh bloodline, Margoree weighs 130 lbs.

Hi Moore’s!
We have Rustler (aka Crosby) and his dad Tommy. Crosby’s still a work in progress but has come a long way and he and Tommy have bonded. Tommy is great, some weight gain after he was neutered that we’re working on with him but otherwise he’s wonderful.
We just love our newfs!

Dear Moore Family,
Charlie is doing so well! She's such an amazing addition to my life and she is incredibly popular around campus and with my neighbors. In fact, I am traveling for work right now and had exactly 0 trouble finding several willing dog-sitters who just love spending time with her. Several colleagues call her their best friend and come over just to snuggle with her. She's an incredible dog!
Attached is a picture from the current dog sitter. Charlie has grown to like baths and "blow outs!"

UPDATE FROM MARCH 30, 2019:
Had my horse trainer over today to work with me and Mason. Mason is so smart! He picked up the walking with me without pulling me along like a freight train very quickly. He will sit and come even off leash most of the time. After training I turned him loose with Cloud while I drove the Kabota. They ran back and forth and played, but stayed near me. He is a joy!
Linda called us after losing her beloved adult male Pyrenees. Cloud, her female Pyrenees, was very sad and needed a doggie friend. Mason to the rescue! Linda says, "Mason is doing great. Loves walking in the woods. Cloud has come back to life and has regained her energy. They both slept in the house last night with no problems. Mason is a wonderfully affectionate dog and we just love him."

Update from 10-11-21
Lucy is doing wonderful and enjoying the cool weather starting coming in! Here's some pictures from our latest trip to the beach, last weekend 🙂 She steals the spotlight whenever we take her up there, everybody that meets Lucy LOVES her! She is doing really great for 9.5 years old, she's a bit slower but when she gets excited to go for a walk she still has a bounce in her step!
Lucy is spayed and gets along with all dogs 🙂 Big, small, high energy, low energy (even a couple encounters with a mean dog in the neighborhood), nothing phases this girl! My mom has three bernese mountain dogs that Lucy is around a lot and we call her "queen" of that pack but she mostly just naps around them haha We also fostered a few dogs and Lucy was such a great guide to them and helped each one of them grow their confidence as they came from some pretty horrible situations (a long winded answer to the question but we're just so proud of our pup!!).

Update from 12-11-18
Attached are some updated pictures of Nola after she went to her day of beauty at the groomers. After the groomers she is now Nola Jean the Beauty Queen. However, the picture of her laying on the back patio is previous, but if you look at the picture you can see she has her tennis ball under her ear. The girl loves her tennis balls. The other pictures are from after the groomer with her fresh clean pink flamingo bandanna. They did not put bows on her on her this time, but the next time they do I will get a picture and send it, hopefully she will not have them pulled out so quickly. Nola seems to be adapting well for being the only Newf for now, but I think she gets a bit sad now and then, however she does get the extra attention. I hope you enjoy the pictures and share them with everyone else to enjoy. You can definitely tell she is well taken care of and loved.
