Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda R., the breeder behind Amanda's Newfoundlands located in Brandenburg, KY. Our dogs are fully health tested with OFA certifications to ensure strong bloodlines. Puppies are raised in a loving family environment with daily socialization and care. We are dedicated to raising gentle, well-adjusted Newfoundlands that become loyal companions and beloved family members.

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding dogs after having a golden retriever with an absolute stellar personality and stunning appearance. I felt as though it would be unfair to keep his qualities to myself. I wanted to share his bloodline with other families, so they could experience the joy that he brought to our home! After retiring my golden, I transitioned to Newfs and have had similar experiences with that breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are family, doing life in my home with my human members. I breed because I'm passionate about this breed and want other families to experience life with a Newfie. It's important to me to breed quality dogs with good health lines , to help keep this breed around for many generations. Poor breeding habits are hurtful to the families that fall in love only to lose their pets far too young.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and black, black, and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Cystinuria Type 1A, Newfoundland Type

    Iris, now Mercy is priceless. A great looking dog. So far she fits the breed standard perfectly. But her personality is what makes her really stand out. Playful and fitting into her new heard great.( I have 4 adult Newfoundlands). Stubborn even for a Newfie. Extremely intelligent. Training has been a breeze. I could tell when I picked her up that Amanda and her family took wonderful care of all the dogs. Mercy's mother Maize was well behaved and checked me out. Would recommend Amanda to anyone wanting a Newfoundland.

    Amanda is literally THE BEST, we got so lucky to have found her! We couldnt have asked for a better breeder. She genuinely loves, attentively cares for and is very passionate about her dogs. Amanda genuinely treats her pups like family, and that was so important to us when we were looking at breeders on here. She was so sweet and easy to talk to and kept us updated throughout the whole process with photos, video chats and news. She was so helpful and knowledgeable, especially when it came to transporting our puppy. Mandy our pup, is outstanding, she is so sweet, beautiful, healthy, calm…a true dream dog! Look no further on good dog, you will not find a better breeder than Amanda!! Thank you Amanda!
