A quick note~
Having recently been brought to our attention, we were not aware of another breeder claiming to currently own NERON. We actually had sold NERON directly to a breeder in Ohio over 6-months ago. No other individual was ever involved with his ownership besides Tenderhearts, and Dyer Lake, who had raised and shown NERON in Michigan.
Absolutely no sale, lease, co-ownership, partnership, or championship of NERON was ever involved in regards to any litter he had sired for any person. NERON is not championed.
All AKC titles earned through showing are easily found on a dogs pedigree, and in the public databases online. Neron was never championed. All in regarding Neron's history was fully disclosed and agreed as understood beforehand, to the owner of the dam. Open communication and understanding was further clarified by NERON's original owner in Michigan; NERON earned points showing, but was determined to be too small to continue in the show ring. This ended his showing career rather early on and he was never championed.

**** We do not work with any other individual or breeder We are not accountable for any business problems or health issues arising with puppy purchases from any other individual regardless of location, false claims to be a partner, relative, friend, or co-breeder, those who have a related Newf, or any other claims. Each breeder is accountable for their own health certs, breeding practices, and pups.
WHAT DOES "OFA" REALLY MEAN?
The words "OFA Tested", or the statement "All of our dogs are OFA-Certified" are often used to convince buyers all of the important health certifications have been completed and are satisfactory, while often enough dogs have failed hips and possibly have other missing certs, or none at all. OFA does not label dogs as OFA-Certified, and OFA does not promote the use of any such labels besides CHIC-Certification, outside of individual health certifications.
OFA Hip and Elbow certifications are done together, if the dog has failed Hip certification, only the Elbow certification will shown the database online, unless the Elbow certification is failed also. It is not uncommon for a dog to fail BOTH Hips and Elbows together. When Hips and Elbows certs are both failed, the Patella certification commonly appears without the Hip and Elbow certs listed. OFA allows the breeder to keep the results of failed health certifications private; failed health certs will not show in the database. Breeding of multiple dogs with severe hip dysplasia creates a much higher risk of issues and can easily result in unhealthy puppies, with vet bills and surgeries averaging $15,000 and up for hip replacement, as well as lifetime issues.
The ORTHOPEDIC FOUNDATION for ANIMALS (OFA) also works hand-in-hand with the NEWFOUNDLAND DOG DATABASE. These databases are free and easy to use, containing all completed health certification information done directly between veterinarians and the databases to ensure the best of accuracy. These databases are not altered or edited irresponsibly by the public.
A dog's AKC name, AKC number, and all passing health certs are automatically loaded into the database as they are performed through licensed veterinarians, available in one single snapshot in the database. Breeders who do health certifications often willingly list the AKC Registration numbers for all of their breeding Newfs online, or provide the numbers per request. This enables the buyer to easily verify all health certifications and history of the bloodline in the database, as opposed to potentially receiving false documents through email. Completed health certifications are not held by any other breeder or individual; all finished health certifications will show in the database unless the breeder opts to not reveal failed health certifications. The breed recommended health certs are OFA Hip or PennHip, OFA Elbow, OFA Heart, and Cystinuria, with OFA Thyroid, OFA Eye Cerf, and OFA Patella being strongly recommended as well.
As technology becomes easier, there are many more impressive websites which boast of reputable breeding and OFA certifications.
Having a seemingly principled relationship with your breeder may still leave you wondering "what if". Not all breeders choose to do health certifications; many breeders still produce healthy pups, without false advertisement or false claims.
False claims however, can reveal a much less than satisfying experience for the conscientious puppy buyer, leaving you to consider the sellers motivation.
WE PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE BREEDING!
The health of our puppies comes first. As a small hobby-breeder, we do not keep multiple numbers of sires and dams. Our commitment is to produce healthy loving puppies, with time to enjoy and care for our pups properly. We have the pleasure of welcoming a few occasional litters throughout the year, and sharing them with you through our webpage. Please feel free to inquire of our available puppies, current breeding plans, or to ask any questions. Our breeding program is based on health, correct type & temperament, proper care not to be overrun with multiple litters, and is not based on quantity of pups or marketing. Facebook prohibits the selling of any live animals, our Facebook page is for your enjoyment.

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. 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.
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. 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. 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.
