Meet the breeder

I'm Deb W., the breeder behind Crossroads Canines ~ Newfoundland Dogs located in Saukville, WI.

Q. & A. with Deb

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As an enthusiastic animal lover and lifelong Newfoundland Dog aficionado, Deb expanded her expertise in 2013 by becoming an ethical and responsible breeder of Newfoundland Dogs. Her work is rooted in scientifically supported positive reinforcement methods, which focus on rewarding desired behaviors with treats, praise, and play. This approach not only helps dogs learn but also strengthens the bond between trainer and pet.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised in-home, utilizing Puppy Culture and AKC Confident Puppy protocols with care, love and appropriate socialization. We send mentally and structurally sound puppies and as a breeder provide the commitment to lifelong support and resources.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and black, black, brown, and gray. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Deb

Deb has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Deb partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“Our Puppy Matching Process At Crossroads Newfoundlands, our goal is to create lifelong, successful matches between our puppies and their families. While we absolutely take your preferences into account—such as color and gender—these are just one piece of the puzzle. From birth, each puppy is carefully observed and raised using Puppy Culture protocols, allowing us to evaluate developing traits such as: Confidence and resilience Energy level and drive Social tendencies Sensitivity and adaptability As puppies grow, their individual personalities become clearer. We then thoughtfully match each puppy to their future home based on lifestyle, experience level, family dynamics, and goals for the dog. This means: A highly driven, busy puppy may be placed with an active, training-focused home A softer or more easygoing puppy may be matched with a quieter household or first-time owner Our priority is not just placing puppies—it’s placing the right puppy in the right home. Because of this, final puppy selections are guided by us rather than chosen solely by order of deposit. This approach helps ensure each puppy thrives and each family gets a dog that truly fits their life.”

    Verified owner · Jan. 2026

    From the very first interaction, Deb has been absolutely amazing—by far the best breeder I have ever worked with. She is incredibly thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to the well-being of all her puppies. We had several visits prior to pick-up where my children got to interact with the puppies, and at every visit, we never felt rushed or unwelcome. Deb was so patient and kind, going out of her way to ensure we were a good fit, and making the entire experience truly enjoyable. She even started training our sweet girl with basic commands before she came home, and she is now the sweetest puppy we have ever had. Being welcomed into the Crossroads family with our puppy has meant so much. When we picked her up, Deb spent over an hour with us, carefully going over paperwork, vaccinations, and answering every question we had. She has continued to wholeheartedly answer any questions since, and we know we will be reaching out for years to come with updates and pictures. We are so grateful to have found her!
