Q. & A. with Cassia
Why did you start breeding?
We loved not only the looks and the fact that Newfoundland’s were family dogs but how wonderful their temperaments are. We wanted a dog we could trust around our kids that would be ok with them handing their puppies. Newfies are wonderful and we get such good feedback from our buyers that makes us want to keep breeding.
What makes your program special?
We are committed to our dogs and puppies. We make sure they are going to good homes. And we keep in contact with our buyers. Pups are in good health before leaving us. Our adults are of good temperament and health required to breed. Our puppies are well socialized they are raised in our home with kids and noise that comes with a big family.
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.
