We spent lots of time researching many breeds before deciding on the Newfoundland! We have never looked back. Their most attractive trait is their calm, and gentle personalities which make them perfect family pets. This was key, as our dogs have to interact with people of all ages. Temperament is of particular importance to us and we take every effort possible to ensure that this breed trait is one that stays in the breed. It is simply what makes a Newfoundland a Newfoundland!
Equally as important as a good temperament is good health. We take this very seriously. All our dogs that we plan to add to our breeding program are checked for Hip and Elbow Dysplasia, as well as for Patellar Luxation. They are Thyroid and Cardiac normal, and tested genetically for Cystinuria. Don't be shy, ask us for our CHIC numbers!
We are members in good standing with the Newfoundland dog Club of Canada, the Canadian Kennel club, the Northstar Newfoundland Club and the Newfoundland Club of America.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions about our dogs. We love to meet new Newfy fans, and love to chat about our dogs and the breed in general!
Cheers,
Jo-Anne Tait and Russel Yake BADBEAR NEWFOUNDLANDS
