Cedar Newfoundlands
Meet the breeder
I'm Min Y., the breeder behind Cedar Newfoundlands located in Waverly, IA. We breed AKC/OFA Newfoundlands from champion lines, focusing on health, structure, and the gentle, loyal temperament that makes them ideal family pets. Raised in our home, puppies are well-socialized, affectionate, and true to the breed’s calm, loving nature.
Q. & A. with Min
Why did you start breeding?
Cedar Newfoundlands is a new breeding program under the mentorship of an experienced Newfi breeder based in Iowa along with our very involved veterinarian. Our single breeding pair was carefully chosen for their pedigree, health and temperment.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are lovingly raised in our home, not in kennels, where they receive early socialization, daily interaction, and exposure to normal household stimuli to help them integrate into family life with ease. While our dogs have the lineage to succeed in the show ring, we place equal value on emotional soundness and trainability ideal for companionship, a child's playmate or therapy work.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.
