I'm Alex H., the breeder behind Cape Fear Newfoundlands located in Walton Hills, OH. I became involved in working and companion events first, titling my dogs in obedience, rally, and water rescue. I subsequently ventured into conformation as an owner handler. My dogs are all pets first, but with whom I can enjoy the versatility inherent and essential to the breed.

About Jammer
Jammer is an absolute joy. She is affectionate to a fault and is a devoted lapdog. She is a force to be reckoned with in the water and is a privilege to have as my partner in competition. She unfortunately had to be removed from my breeding program, but I have big goals for her and look forward to a long completion career together.

About Soleil
Soleil is sweet, gentle, sassy, and way too smart. She had a very successful show career finishing 2022 in the NCA Top 20 for conformation, and was in the NCA Top 10 obedience the year before. She can do it all! She’s established herself in her retirement as the chief toddler supervisor and makes sure no dropped food is left behind.
