- 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. Each of our current breeding Newfoundlands
are hip tested (OFA and/or PennHIP) and Cystinuria and DM clear, with their individual test results listed below.

Males
"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.

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).

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!

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."

Sweet Nellie's "Nola" - Now home with Rich and Jenny in NC, where her daughter Olena has recently joined her!
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.
