Ace and his sister Billy

Landseer Ace was adopted by a great family in May 2011. He's been a treasure and loves other dogs so his family thought he'd enjoy having a canine companion. They kept their eyes on our parent rescue HART's available dogs and along came little Beagle Billy. She seemed like she'd be a great friend for him so they adopted her in June 2012. They quickly became fast friends and are simply adorable together. What a great update!

Adorable!

Newfs make great pillows

Fast friends

The Weather Network recently attended the Central Ontario Region Newfoundland Dog Club's water rescue training seminar and made a marvelous video about Newfs.

Samson, adopted from Newf Friends in 2010 is proudly featured in this video -- he's the big fella with the red toy in his mouth.  Way to go Samson, and all of the other Newfs and their handlers, and thank you to The Weather Network for this great piece.

August 4, 2012: Max was adopted!!

Meet Max, a totally adorable young fella' who is searching for a great family to call his own.  This 19 month old love bug is well mannered, knows basic commands, gets along with everyone he meets and is an all around fabulous Newf.

Max came to us on July 15, 2012 along with his sister Molly following unfortunate changes in his owner's life which made it impossible for the duo to remain with their loving owner.  Max has been very well cared for and has clearly been loved his entire life.  He is a happy, well socialized, well mannered boy.

Max is a friendly, playful boy who gets along well with all other dogs and is great with cats as well.  What a good boy!  Here he is meeting the resident Newf in his foster home....



Max is searching for a home where he will have another four footed playmate and where he'll get lots of opportunities to romp and play.

Max was born December 9, 2010.  He is not registered but his surrendering family did DNA testing and he is purebred. 
Max is neutered, UTD on vaccines and weighs approximately 140 lbs.
He is being fostered in Etobicoke and his adoptive family will be required to pick him up in person.  An adoption donation of $500 applies.  To be considered for adopting Max please complete an adoption application and email it to us.

I have awesome floof!

August 20:  Willie has joined a wonderful family!

Are you looking for a working companion to do obedience, water rescue or carting with? Look no further than Willie, an adorable 6 year old purebred Newf who is looking for a great family to call his own. This sensitive boy is a real sweetheart and is going to make one lucky family very happy!



Willie is a sweet boy who is well trained and knows a lot of commands. He has good house manners (well, except for counter surfing if food is left out!) and is friendly boy who is particularly fond of women. He loves people and really enjoys spending time hanging out with his family and being included in their day to day activities.



Willie comes from strong working lines and is very motivate to work. He loves swimming and is an excellent candidate for water rescue work. A typical working dog, he requires a fair bit of exercise and will get into mischief if his exercise needs are not met.

Willie just qualified for 2 legs in Novice Rally-O so needs one more qualifying run to get his Novice title!! Look at him go!



If you have ever been interested in competing for titles Willie is your boy! Willie also “reverses” like a dream which is an extremely useful trick for carting. Willie is happiest when working and requires a home where he is expected to be more than a couch potato.

Look at me playing in the pool at the K-9 Country Inn!

Like many Newfs he likes to carry things around in his mouth and this may include shoes, books, etc. He is learning to carry more appropriate items - he's definitely a boy who likes to have toys to carry. His favourite things to carry are soft plush toys so if you don’t mind walking a big dog with a stuffie in his mouth Willie is for you!


Willie is a confident Newf who will benefit from continued obedience work with his adoptive family. He needs the attention and care of an experienced owner who is calm and confident to help Willie know they are in control so he doesn't need to make decisions. With a confident handler at his side Willie is well mannered on leash, gets along with everyone he meets and is a terrific boy.



Willie came to us through no fault of his own. His owners had a baby and felt they could not meet Willie's needs. In consultation with his family and his breeder we determined that because of his confidence issues, Willie's needs would be best met coming into our foster program for assessment and care rather than going to his breeder's kennels. He is CKC registered and comes from a reputable breeder who is involved in his re-homing and will be available for advice and offering guidance to his new adoptive family.


Willie has demonstrated issues with other large dogs in the past, especially males, so is not suited to a home with another dog. He is looking for a home where he will be the only pet.

He was enrolled in classes for "reactive dogs" which helped him learn how to meet new dogs appropriately. He can now be in close proximity to other dogs without any issues with a handler at his side. Willie would rather have love and affection from his handler than worry about what the other dogs are doing!  In his "down time" when he is not working he would prefer to lounge about without another dog in his home.



His ideal home will be a calm country setting with a loving owner who enjoys spending a lot of time with their dog. A sensitive boy, Willie would do best in a quiet home where he has someone around most of the time.

Willie is a bit of a goof at times and doesn't always know his own size so he is best not living in a home with children. He could join a home with teenagers and is very friendly and affectionate. He definitely loves to be groomed, hugged and petted!

Willie was born on June 9, 2008. His vaccines are UTD and he is neutered. Willie is currently in a training center to continue helping him work on his manners around other animals. Willie is not suited to a home with cats, he can't help himself, he loves to chase them!


He is being fostered in the Cookstown area and his adoptive family will be required to pick him up in person. A reduced adoption donation of $400 applies to offset his ongoing training needs. To be considered for adopting Willie please complete an adoption application and email it to us.

A fenced yard is required.

Just wanted to let the world know that we have the coolest dog ever. She just wants to love everyone (especially squirrels, she really wants to love squirrels). I have to admit that my husband wasn't so convinced about bringing Luna into our fold, but umm.. wow. It's kind of embarrassing now. I've never seen him so smitten with an animal in my life. Those two are in love. Yes, we're all in love, but those two have their own language. Luna came to us always looking like she wanted to give a kiss, butting her nose against us and wagging her tail frantically. Last month, Luna's joy overtook her and she 'accidentally' gave my husband a small lick on the cheek and then dropped her head, expecting (we suppose) to be reprimanded. Well, of course she was only encouraged by my husband and now it's kisses, kisses everywhere.

Boots (aka Beatrice) sure knows how to beat the heat!  Check out this update from her family!

See You At Newf Stock.

Check out these awesome collars that arrived today from Dublin Dog Co in North Carolina!  We will have them available in the raffle at NewfStock in September.

They are fabulous collars which are ideal for water loving dogs like Newfs because they are NO STINK COLLARS!  What a great idea, no more stinky collars after water training! I'm going to order some for my own Newfs from the Dublin Dog website!


Thanks for the donation of these cool collars Dublin Dogs!
