We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Championship Show in October which is being held at the Kennel Club Building, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. Our judge is Mr. Tom Johnston (Feldkirk) with Special Awards Classes being judged by Mr. Gary Dybdall (Rodevico).
The Newfoundland Club
Founded in 1886 - the world's oldest continuously registered Breed Club
Our Championship Show, postponed from 2020, was held at the Staffordshire Showground following the Brimingham National breed judging in the same ring. We had an excellent entry of 68 dogs in competition for our specialist judge Mrs. Loraine Ratter (Seafar).
Internet connection problems from the Staffordshire Showground meant we were unable to do the live results on the day as usual but we have now posted the full show results. Images of the winners will be added as soon as we can.

Full results are available on the results page. Photographs of the individual class winners (which can be enlarged with a click) are now on the page too.

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;

"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.
