Meet the breeder
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.
Q. & A. with Alex
Why did you start breeding?
Purebred dogs are worth preserving. After over a decade of study, mentorship, and competitions to prove my commitment to the breed and its preservation, I bred my first litter. I love to see the previous generations come through in my puppies. It is an honor to be part of preserving the proud heritage of this noble breed.What makes your program special?
The dogs I keep are intended for show and sport because that is what I enjoy, but the majority of dogs I produce are bred and raised with purpose to be loving family companions. Any dog I breed has a lifetime spot available on my couch should his family be unable to keep him for any reason at any time in his life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.
