We at Bydand feel there are some very important things you should consider when you are
searching for your new family member. Availablity and price should not out weigh
everything. Your connection to the breeder is very important. If you do not feel
comfortable talking to them, and feel like this could be a new friend in your life, keep
searching. The relationship between breeder and new owner is very important. Your
breeder should be there for you and your Newf, for the life of the dog and beyond.

So you think you want a Newf. Great!!! But I am sure you have read or heard, and if not let
me tell you, a Newf isn't the breed of dog for everyone. Newfs are big!! Newfs do drool,
some more than others. Newfs shed. Newfs need their families, they are not solitary dogs
happy to spend their days out in the back yard alone. Newfs are lower keyed than other
dogs, but do need exercise and are not couch potatoes. Newfs can have health issues. Vet
fees are more. Grooming cost are more. They do eat more food. So overall, the cost is
more. Are you sure this is what you want. Since they are big, you must train your dog! You
may not mind and unmannered dog, but others don't like them. Newfs will be blamed for any
neighborhood problems by default of their size alone. "The Newf must have done it." Newfs
do require leadership from their humans, just like any dog does.
If you are still interested, keep reading, otherwise, perhaps you should consider a different
breed.

Since Newfs do have health issues, you should ask
your potential breeder what tests they do to help
minimize the potential for problems in your new pup.
Don't be fooled by that beautiful ball of fluff. All that
fur could be hiding a big heartache in the future.
A reputable breeder should check their dogs for hip
and elbow health. Should ensure their breeding animals
are free of heart problems. Should test their animals for
cystinuria. If the breeder doesn't check their animals
for these things at a minium, move on. The breeder you
choose should screen puppies for any heart problems
that may be detected prior to their going home.

Here at Bydand, we take breeding seriously. We are active breeders, usually breeding 3 to
5 litters per year. We consider and contimplate a breeding far before it happens. We study
pedigrees, health clearances and pictures of dogs in the pedigree. We want you to have the
best possible Newf. Since we are breeding for our next generation and our future show ring
champions, we do take our breedings very serious.
Our pups have been well socialized. They are familar with children, large dogs, the cat, a
crate, they wear collars and have been on car rides. We leave the professional health care
up to a professional, they see our vet for their health checks.
We do offer a one year replacement guarantee on our pups. Also, any time you can no
longer keep your Newf, regardless of age or reason, please contact us, we never want to
see our Newfs in rescue or at a shelter. It would break our hearts.
If you are interested in a pup from us. Please fill out our questionnaire along with your phone
number and the best time of day to call. The questionnaire helps me see how our puppy will
live and what you are looking for. It also helps during your phone interview, as I do speak
to many people and it does help me keep things straight. We look forward to getting
acquainted with you.

Now the good things about Newfs!!! A Newf is a
devoated companion to both child and adult. They
have a sweet disposition and expressive soft face
that reflects the characteristics of the breed -
benevolence, intelligence and dignity but yet
completely ready for fun. They are exceptionally
gentle and docile in nature. They are loyal, strong
and easy to train because they want to please their
humans. They definately think they are lap dogs
and need to be with their families. Newfs generally
love water. They are comfortable both on land
and in the water. They love to dribble water from
their drinking bowl across your floor, they
completely enjoy "creating" their own puddle in
your kitchen by dumping their water or to save that
last gulp, and then put their head in your lap and let
it all out. They love to snuggle. For those who
love the Newf, there can be no other.

Of course all of these things do not guarantee that some problems will not pop up from
recessive genes or environmental issues some time in the dogs life. But it does tell you, the
breeder has done all possible to minimize the potential for a problem. The individual
genes that come together to produce each puppy are out of the breeders control.
Even though the breeder has done everything possible to ensure you a healthy puppy,
there isn't such a thing as a perfect puppy or dog, no matter if it is a show potential puppy
or a family pet. Breeders can not predict the size a dog will eventually become or if the
dog will have any other issue, which may include skin problems, torn or ruptured cruciate,
elbow and shoulder problems, eye problems, cancers or any other illness. Just like a child
in your family, these issues must be cared for and some can be very costly. A dog is a
living being and must be cared for as long as it lives, hopefully for the next 10 to 12 years.
You must be committed to car for and love the dog.
