*** Recent false claims have been brought to our attention. We do not offer our puppies through any other persons claiming an association to Tenderhearts; this includes any individual breeder who claims to be a relative, friend, or partner, pet store, or any other advertisement placed online; this includes those who pretend they're a "Counter-Part" or Co-Breeder to Tenderhearts. We run a very strict breeding program, and we are not accountable for any business problems or health issues arising with puppy purchases from any other individuals. False information and greater health risks are more common with purchases coming from misrepresented sources. Each and every breeder is individually responsible for their own individual breeding program. Given the false pretense that this is okay so long as one of their breeding Newfs is from Tenderheart is unethical.
Health certifications are known to have been faked and/or be rewritten. Only real health certifications will show up in the public data bases. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

*******************************
The Newfoundland breed is prone to several health issues, including heart and joints. ALL PUPPIES should have their hearts checked before going to their new homes. The OFA (Orthapedic Foundation for Animals) explains the heart is not fully developed and can not be cleared of SAS until after 12-months.
Social media can be a beast with online harassment and bashing being quite common. Your online experience is up to you. Between competitiveness, untruths, and those who don't believe in the value of health certs (everyone is entitled to their own opinions), it's quite easy to become misled by false information and group slander. We encourage everyone to focus on and learn more about the health of the breed. Visit your breeder when possible; ask to see health certifications and feel free to ask questions about the breed and their breeding program. You're welcome to email, text, or call us with any questions no matter where your puppy comes from. 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.
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 other 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!~~
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.
