Thank you for visiting our website.  Here you will see our Newfs of the past, present, and our hopes for the future.  Most of our dogs are descendents of  Can CH BOSS Bearbrook's Blink of 'n Eye. Blinken was a wonderful foundation bitch.  She came to us at nine weeks of age from Hilda Ginter of Bearbrook Newfoundland Kennels.  Blinken had many great qualities such as size, bone, health, and a great temperament that she passed on to future generations. 

This web site is designed for you to obtain information about the Longship dogs and breeding program.   Puppies are NOT advertised for sale on this site.   However, we do announce litters and planned breedings for reference.

The health and temperaments of our Newfoundlands  are a priority in our breeding program. We check for Cystinuria, submit x-rays to OFA for evaluation of  hips and elbows. Our dogs' hearts are OFA cleared by a Cardiologist and eyes are CERF cleared. Our dogs are all considered members of the family, each with their own unique personality. We are members of the Newfoundland Club of America, Newfoundland Club of New England, Northland Newfoundland Club, and the Canadian Kennel Club.  We're also active members of Champlain Valley Kennel Club.

Newfies are NOT a breed for everyone, so please do your research, ask questions, and visit several breeders before deciding if they are right for you.  They take a lot of dedication, grooming, training, and love in order to make them a perfect pet. The Newfoundland Club of America website (link below) is a great resource.

Why the name Longship? 

Leif Ericson and the Norseman came to the northern end of this continent bringing the great Newfoundland dog with them to guard their ships.   The Norseman boats were known as 'longships.'
