He was such a lovely soul and will be forever missed.
I am not taking reservations for Newfoundland puppies at this time.
Helping Children Understand Dogs
Every child should learn how to understand dogs — even if they don't have one at home.
Over my years as a Newfoundland breeder, I've met many children who love dogs but don't always understand how to interact with them safely. Even the gentlest dog has limits, and children may not recognize when a dog is uncomfortable or needs space.
Your own dog may be wonderfully tolerant, but what about the neighbour's dog, Grandma and Grandpa's dog, or a dog your child meets while visiting friends?
That's why I created Be a Dog's Best Friend.
Designed for children ages 4–8, this educational colouring book uses simple lessons and fun colouring pages to teach children about dog body language, respecting boundaries, and interacting safely.
Every child can benefit from understanding dogs — whether they have one at home or not.
Is a Newfoundland the Right Dog for You?
While Newfoundlands make wonderful companions for the right families (and of course I am incredibly biased!), they're not the perfect fit for everyone.
I'll never forget a couple who came to meet my dogs. She was happily rolling in the grass with the Newfoundlands, while her very well-dressed boyfriend was climbing onto a picnic table to escape their slobbery attention! It was a perfect example of how a dog one person adores may not be the right fit for everyone in the household.
That's why I created PickYourPooch.com — to help people explore breeds beyond their appearance and choose a companion whose needs and characteristics are a good match for their home and lifestyle.
