Q. & A. with Sarah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Newfoundlands have been my passion since I was a child! I grew up raising these gentle giants as my best furry friends! My family is so passionate about the breed and the breed standards, we carefully selected our dogs for our program. We live in the country on a small farm and our dogs are raised with other animals and daily interactions with children. A newf is always by our side!

  • What makes your program special?

    We have very healthy and optimal dogs and all have proven to be optimal Newfoundland standard. We have constant interaction with our newfs and they all are part of the family! Some of our previous puppies have gone to homes to be trained in therapy certifications and water rescue, because they are just that amazing! Your gentle giants will be uniquely socialized & ready for a full wonderful life!

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Sarah was a joy to work with, so very responsive with answering any questions I had. She also sent me additional information I asked for about the puppy's parents and the bloodline. She stayed in touch and sent regular updates on the progress of the litter. When the time came to arrange for pick-up she went out of her way to make the process very easy and enjoyable. I'm so glad that we found Sarah through Good Dog, and we couldn't be any happier with our puppy Piper. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you so much Sarah.

    Sarah is amazing from start to finish! Compassionate, knowledgeable, and always keeping you updated on your pup. I am beyond grateful for my healthy, gorgeous gentle giant ❤️🐾

    When my husband and I started throwing around the idea of getting a Newfoundland, we knew we would want to work with an ethical, educated, compassionate, and informative breeder. Sarah was all those things and more! She answered all of my questions (and I had a ton!) kept us informed on all the steps, and loved our sweet boy until we could love on him ourselves! She even arranged a phone call with me to help address any concerns I had! Our Knox is a beautiful, playful, goofy, cuddly, gentle giant! We love him so much and will forever be grateful for Sarah and all the hard work she put into giving us our boy!

    Sarah was a joy to work with. She was prompt at answering my questions and let us come meet our girl prior to bringing her home and sent lots of updates along the way. It was obvious that Sarah loves what she does. Her puppies are raised in a warm and nurturing environment and are well socialized to both children and other animals. We couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience and we are over the moon in love with our little girl.

    Sarah was great from start to finish. We were able to see pictures of our fur baby well before we bought her home. We also received updates on her health and vet visits. Sarah is friendly and approachable, so if you have questions, ask them! My family and I are very pleased with the service we received and couldn't be happier with our pup.

    My husband and I had looked for a reputable Newfie breeder for almost a year. We almost gave up but luckily found our way to Sarah and Bluegrass River Newfoundlands. She was excellent to work with. She was incredibly communicative, knowledgeable of the breed, forthcoming with providing the paperwork for health testing of the parent dogs, and sent pictures of our puppy almost daily until it was time to pick her up. Even afterwards, she was available to answer questions. I texted her about something 3 months after bringing our puppy home and she still was so prompt in her responses. She clearly cares very deeply about her dogs and puppies, and that is something that was really important to me in finding a breeder. I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone looking to add a Newfie to their home consider working with Sarah. If and when we feel ready to bring another Newfie into our home, we will certainly be reaching back out to her!
