Meet the breeder
I'm Stefanie S., the breeder behind Lonepine Newfoundlands located in Lonepine, MT. We are a small hobby breeder of Newfoundlands in NW Montana, and our focus is on health, temperament and early socialization. Parents are health tested, and we offer a 1 year health guarantee on all our puppies. Our puppies don’t go home until their hearts have been checked by a specialist at 10 weeks. We use a program called Puppy Culture to give each new puppy the best foundation possible. Our puppies are raised with extensive early socialization including daily handlings and interactions, introduction of a new sight, sound or smell every day, introduction to clicker training, crate training, anti-resource guarding, etc.
Q. & A. with Stefanie
Why did you start breeding?
I've always owned (and loved) Labrador Retrievers, but, after getting my first Newfoundland, I absolutely fell in love with the breed and wanted to share the temperament and sweetness of this amazing breed with other families. They are truly something special. I am passionate about positive early socialization in puppies as it truly sets the foundation for a better dog. The proof is in the puppies I produce! I am always trying to further my own education about the breed and canine health and behavior in general. I have recently been working to turn my program's focus in the therapy dog direction.What makes your program special?
We use a program called Puppy Culture to give each new puppy the best foundation possible. Our puppies are raised with extensive early socialization including daily handlings and interactions, introduction of a new sight, sound and/or smell every day, introduction to clicker training, crate training, anti-resource guarding, etc. We try to share frequent pictures and videos with our puppy families of us working with the puppies and the things we are teaching them while they're here with us. Please look up some of these terms to better understand some of the protocols we will be doing with each puppy: ENS (early neurological stimulation), ESI (early scent introduction) and the Puppy Culture Program by Jane Messineo Lindquist.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Stefanie is an amazing breeder. She is very knowledgeable and took amazing care of the litter we chose our pup from. She’s invested in their socialization and upbringing before seeing them to their forever homes. She has been checking up on us since bringing our pup home and making sure all of our questions are answered. I recommend her if anyone is looking to add a pup to their home.
