Meet the breeder

I'm Mariah S., the breeder behind Starfire Newfoundlands located in Caribou, ME. We commit ourselves towards preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence!

Q. & A. with Mariah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've always had a passion for animals especially dogs. I fell in love with the Newfoundland breed and wanted to share my passion for the breed. I have enough room and time now to pursue breeding.
  • What makes your program special?

    The 24-hour care and love the dogs get make my program special. The one-on-one attention and care makes each puppy special.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, brown, and gray. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
