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. This is for the life of the dog.

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 or 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.   
Puppies
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. 
Of course this does not guarantee that because the breeding animals are cleared, that some problem will not pop up from recessive genes.  But it does tell you, the breeder has done all possible to minimize the potential for a problem.
Here at BakerBay, we take breeding seriously.  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. 
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.  Their hearts are cleared by a cardiologist.
We at BakerBay feel there are some very important things you should consider when you are searching for your new family member.  Availablity 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.

If you are interested in a pup from us, you must 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.
