Turns out Mochi thinks the blow dryer is very fun and Cannoli doesn’t move a muscle when he gets groomed! I wonder which one of those the groomer will prefer 🤣

Cannoli and Mochi 🖤🤍🤎 our newest babies! We’re hoping to breed Mochi to Churro in a couple of years, provided everything goes well and all checks out!

This is Muffin. Muffin is 4 years old. She is from a long line of show dogs and proven champions. Her grandpa has won many competitions. Obviously, Muffin comes from a "reputable" breeder, one who prides herself, very disdainfully I might add, in not being "some backyard breeder", having done all the health checks to ensure perfect "breed standard" puppies. So I really thought I was wasting money when I decided to have her OFA tested, just in case, since I was hoping to breed her because of her wonderful personality, looks, and health. So imagine my surprise when I found out Muffin has hip dysplasia, and already bad arthritis. How is this possible, you might say? The truth is, genetic mutations do happen. You can be from the best lines of the best dogs, and still get a terrible genetic mutation. Anyone who guarantees you that no way ever is your pup having hip dysplasia or any genetic condition either doesn't understand biology, or is lying to you. All one can do is try to prevent and minimize the risk of genetic mutations through ethical breeding. So why am I mad? Because Muffin's oh-so-reputable breeder doesn't give a rat's *** about Muffin, and in fact doesn't even bother calling back. I guess that's ok because she's too busy "improving the breed" by showing her dogs and getting them colorful ribbons. So let me tell you what actually is a good breeder. The good breeder is not the "reputable" one who gives all those guarantees and promises of a healthy puppy, does a bajillion useless checks to upsell you the puppy as "perfectly healthy". The good breeder is the one who tells you the truth, who explains that they have done everything to maximize healthy puppies, that they have done the necessary health checks on the parents, but doesn't dangle the promise of a perfectly forever healthy puppy, because, simply, there is no such guarantee. The good breeder welcomes you to the family, stands by you, and is there when s*** happens (because it WILL happen, one way or another). The good, ethical, responsible breeder, cares more about the fate of the puppies than them being the perfect color pattern to possibly get a stupid show ribbon. The good breeder does not sell the dogs once they're past their breeding prime, but instead lets them live a long happy life at home, showered in love and attention to thank them for the wonderful puppies they graced the world with. The good breeder keeps in touch with you, and you know you can count on them to pick up the phone, no matter what, for the good, and the bad. The good breeder is the one that cares.

One of the worst issue with owning a Newfoundland is their rather short lifespan. Big dogs come with big love but they grace us with their presence for less than a decade. With Newfies, 8yrs is average, anything above 10 is full bonus. This is a fact all owners need to reconcile with. We were just starkly reminded of this last Thursday when our beautiful Splash passed away from liver failure due to cancer at 7.5 yrs old. We miss him terribly.

The reality of owning a Newfie! Yep, that is drool all over her! ♥️

Update on our little Muffin: well, as per usual in our household, nothing is ever easy. It looks like our girl maybe having a false pregnancy, the vet could not see anything on the ultrasound, nor feel anything. We're still holding out at the ready for another week, but this is a disappointing news to start the week. 😞

Well it looks like our sweet girl may be pregnant! One is never 100% sure until the vet visit in a few weeks, but she is starting to bulge up 😍 we cannot feel the pups yet moving but hopefully we should welcome our tiny not so tiny furballs in September. ♥️♥️♥️

Welcome to Cuddle Bear Newfoundlands 🖤🤍🤎
We are a small homestead farm, with over 100 animals, both pets and livestock. We strive to provide the best possible life for all our animals.
We also occasionally breed pure-bred (and well bred) newfoundlands.
Our dogs are loved and raised with us at home, and are part of our family.
We only place our puppies in the best possible homes, and we do ask to keep in touch with the pup parents.
We have a strict return-to-breeder policy so that none of our pups should ever end up in a shelter.
Our pups will make the most wonderful pets, but are not for breeding purposes.
We are located in central NY and will not ship a puppy. Puppies must be picked up.
If you are interested in a newfie puppy, please email us at [email protected] or PM us here.
