Our BREEDERS FOR LIFE scheme is designed to provide a quality assurance mark for prospective Newfoundland puppy purchasers that the breeders follow the very best practices in their breeding program.
It is hoped that the scheme web site will be found by those searching the Internet for Newfoundland puppies and provide the essential information about Health Testing for our breeding stock and encourage people to be discriminating when selecting a breeder.
There are criteria for becoming a Breeder For Life member, such as three consecutive years and current membership of one or more of the UK Newfoundland Breed Clubs but breeders or stud dog owners do not necessarily have to be Newfoundland Club members - see the Scheme Requirements page for details.
We cordially invite suitably qualified breeders to join the scheme - an Application Form can be downloaded here.
Scheme memebers will have a public profile page on the web site and will be able to advertise their litters too.
We are always looking for new homes suitable for dogs taken into our care. If you need to rehome your Newfoundland or would like to give a forever home to a Newfoundland, please contact one of our Welfare Co-ordinators;
We very much appreciate donations to help us with the costs of re-homing and rescue which can often involve substantial veterinary costs. You can make a donation using the button below;
Existing members can renew their annual membership using the Membership Renewal Form or
There are Breed Information Stand at Discover Dogs and Crufts each year for anyone who would like to know more about Newfoundlands.

"Over the years The Newfoundland Club has had many lovely trophies that have been kindly donated to the club. Unfortunately with many changes to Trophy Stewards many of these over time have not been returned.
The committee would ask for everyone to share this with members current and old - we are doing a Trophy amnesty and asking for people to check their cupboards and shelves to see if they have any Trophies that might belong to the Club.
If any are found, please returned them to any committee member at any show or event, no questions will be asked.
It would be lovely if we could find all the missing and unaccounted for trophies."
Newfoundlands can be wonderful companions and as puppies are adorable. However, it is important to know what owning a Newfoundland entails so we have produced a couple of guides which contain lots of useful information and advice. We encourage you to download and read them carefully.
Guide for prospective owners Advice for new puppy ownersA book all breeders should give to new puppy owners as part of their puppy packs. Normally priced at £15 we are offering a third off reducing the price to £10 per book plus postage (free collection at a show or Club event).
