IMPORTANT.....PLEASE READ!
The Newfoundland breed is prone to several health issues, including heart and joint. ALL PUPPIES should have their hearts checked before going to their new homes. Our cardio vet (located in Salt lake City) recently explained the OFA (Orthapedic Foundation for Animals) has realized too many puppies have still developed genetic SAS as they mature, as the heart is not fully developed and can not be cleared of SAS until after 12-months. OFA will soon no longer accept oscillation certifications of dogs less than 12-months for this reason, and only Echo-cardiogram will be accepted. These OFA changes are intended to be a huge step in protecting the heart health of puppies of all breeds, and in helping to further educate the public. Hard work and health certs for any breeder do speak for themselves, regardless of social media drama. Social media can be a beast with online harassment and bashing being quite common. We encourage everyone to learn more about the health of the breed. You're welcome to email, text, or call us with any questions. Health certs are an investment into the future health of Newfoundland breed. Though no living animal is ever fail-proof for life, pet insurance is always highly recommended.
Each and every breeder is individually responsible and accountable for their own individual breeding program. We run a very strict breeding program and we are NOT accountable for any other breeder. We have never been partnered with nor offered our puppies through other breeders, relatives, or friends; beware of claims from those who pretend they're a "Counter-Part" or Co-Breeder to Tenderhearts. Given the false pretense that this is okay so long as one of their breeding Newfs is from Tenderheart is unethical. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
The Newfoundland Dog Database is an important easy-to-use public information resource online. Any Newfoundland dog can generally be found here using their AKC registered name. Snapshots of our OFA health certifications and Pennhip ratings can be found on our adults pages; taken directly from the Newfoundland Dog Database online. Regardless of wether or not your breeder provided health certifications, you're still able to research the health of a bloodline. In the short time it takes to do a little research, you can easily find many bloodlines have health certifications documented at some point in their generations; studies show a consistency of health certs within the first few generations are thought to provide a stronger indication of general health, though no bloodline is fail-proof.
Even the best of show dogs can carry serious genetic issues. Health certifications are recommended but not required of anyone including breed club members, nor are certs required for the show ring. Ask to see your breeders health certifications! Claimed or forged documents will not show up in the databases. Promoting education and health of the breed without accusation should be a priority for all reputable breeders, without creating biased conversations to promote false information or labeling of so-called back yard breeders by any individual or organization. The notion that health issues in the breed are limited to any certain bloodline or a particular class of breeders, is absolutely ridiculous. Health certifications were created to help monitor ALL bloodlines. Education is of the utmost importance with any extra-large breed.
Breed recommendations for all breeding Newfs include vital Cystinuria testing, OFA Heart (a simple vet check is not the same thing), OFA Hip or PennHip, OFA Elbows and Patella, and OFA Thyroid. While there are no perfect bloodlines, continual testing of breeding Newfs by dedicated breeders is absolutely necessary. We encourage buyers to ask questions, visit your breeder if possible, and to take advantage of the health and pedigree info provided on our pages to help make your buying experience easier.
Thank you for your consideration~~
~~Please read "YOUR PUPPY!" and "INFO-LINKS". These pages were created just for you!~~
Our Newfs are breed standard in size; our adult Newfs range in weight from 120 lbs. to 160 lbs. Our bloodlines include champions and foreign imports from Hungary, France, Poland, and Russia. We look forward to producing some exceptional puppies!
We encourage all puppy buyers to visit your breeder in person before a puppy choice is made; actually seeing the parents to your pup in person may help you to avoid being highly disappointed later.
Visitors are welcome, and we have always enjoyed meeting our puppy families! Please contact us to set up an appointment that will work well for each of us before dropping by.

***We DO NOT breed for the dilute colors creme, tan and beige (dilute brown); or gray (a dilute black). These are not "rare colors", and dilute color is not promoted by breed standard.
The dilute gene is a genetic defect, often carrying serious fur quality issues such as hot-spots & bacterial skin infections, poor discolored coat with thin/balding fur on the ears, head, legs and tail; especially visible in photos of older puppies and adult Newfs.
***The Newfoundland Club of America and AKC have created the "Breed Standard" in an effort to preserve the better qualities of the breed. Not all breeders share this same commitment to the breed, and not all Newfy puppies will carry better qualities.
