I'm Michelle G., the breeder behind Bydand Newfoundlands located in Sanborn, ND. I have been breeding for 24 years. I am active in showing my dogs in conformation and I have produced many conformation champions, working titles-water titles, draft titles, many therapy dogs, but most importantly of all the titles I can brag about, I'm most thrilled with all the wonderful dogs I have placed into so many loving homes through the years.
I do health testing on all my adult breeding dogs, including, hips, elbows, echo doppler heart exams by a board certified cardiologist, cystinuria, and pattela's.
All puppies are sent home after a physical exam and a cardiology check of their heart. Pups typically go home around 9 weeks of age. Puppies will go home up to date with shots, I send them home with a puppy package with many goodies. I register my pups for my families with AKC.
