Great experience! Rita and Bear Paw Newfoundlands take such care to ensure their puppies are well cared for while still with their moms, but also all the support they offered us with our sweet newfie pup. She even came to us already asking to go outside to the bathroom! We had a great experience and our puppy is smart, healthy, and sweet.

It was a great experience picking up my pup from Rita of Bear Paw Newfoundlands. Teddy was well cared for and has settled very nicely into his new home and family.
