Why Choose Us
Our Newfoundlands grow up on green acres where they play freely with our children. Every puppy gets a real childhood in the Bluegrass, not a kennel.
Lifetime Support, Not Just a PuppyWe're here for the long haul. Brainstorm, troubleshoot, or celebrate milestones—we walk with you through every step of raising your Newfoundland.
Health Backed by ConfidenceWe stand behind every puppy with a 12-month congenital health warranty. We believe in our breeding because we've done the careful work to earn it.
Devoted to the Breed, Not Just SalesEvery match, every litter—we're looking at personality, features, health, and potential. We raise Newfoundlands because it's our passion, not a side business.
Our Program
We are proud of the careful breeding and dedication we put into every litter. We believe in our dogs, which is why we offer a 12-month congenital health warranty for your peace of mind. To protect this warranty, we require that your puppy receives a check-up from your chosen licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of possession. This crucial step confirms that your puppy has arrived in excellent health. A copy of this veterinary report must be provided to us within this window. We stand by the genetic health of our Newfoundlands. Should your veterinarian confirm a life-threatening congenital defect within that first year, we offer a replacement puppy of equal value from a future litter. No monetary refunds are given, and this guarantee covers the puppy, not additional costs like vet bills or transportation. As the breeder, we must be immediately notified and involved in the diagnostic process before any final claim decisions. For a smooth partnership, please remember that we are always here to support you!

Reviews from Google“Bruce living his best life between Kentucky and Ontario, Canada. Here he’s loving being up north on the Bruce Peninsula, at Lion’s head on Georgian Bay”
“15weeks. Can: Sit, Come, Down, Crate/bed, 'No', Softmouth treat, Up, and swims!”
“Minnie has become fast friends with her sister, Lucy. She is loved on everywhere she goes--people always comment on her soft coat! “
“Pepper is doing so good with our family. She is a super sweet dog that loves all humans. Especially the little ones! Still adjusting to other dogs but she will get there in no time. Doing great with socializing, potty and crate training. She loves to be outside in the rain and cooler weather. Fully vaccinated and clean bill of health from the Vet as of last week. “
"We started looking for a playmate/protector for our Cheadle, and had already previously fostered a Newfoundland. Loved everything about adopting Jet, from the photos/videos we received of him from birth, to our journey to Kentucky from Michigan to pick him up. He came with information about his shots, food recommendations, and other information that really made things easy. Jet is large (closing in on 115 pounds, and expected to get closer to 150 pounds when fully grown), but is gentle and playful! He gets along with his sister and other dogs, and wants to be petted by everyone that he meets. A Newfoundland is a perfect choice for a loyal, intelligent, and friendly family dog, and I highly recommend Bluegrass River Newfoundlands!”

FAQ
Known as the "Gentle Giant," our dogs are selected for their calm, patient, and sweet dispositions. They are famously good with children and they get along flawlessly with other pets! They thrive on human companionship and consider themselves a true part of the family.
Our adults range from 130-160+ pounds. While this is the bloodline and genetics of your puppy, we cannot predict the exact size. Newfoundlands grow upwards the first 2 years and fill out year 3 and 4! A male will develop his big blocky features around age 3. • OUR Females: Typically range from 120–150 lbs. • OUR Males: Typically range from 130–170 lbs. Because of their size, they stay "puppies" physically for a long time; their joints and bones continue to develop until they are about 2 years old.
We raise our puppies on a high-quality, large-breed specific puppy formula. This is vital because giant breeds need to grow slowly and steadily. Food that is too high in protein or calories can cause them to grow too fast, putting unnecessary stress on their developing joints. We Feed: “ DIAMOND NATURALS Large Breed PUPPY” And “DIAMOND NATURALS Large Breed Adult” These can be purchased in store at Tractor Supply, Petco, Petsmart, etc. Or Online at Chewy.com, etc
Our dogs from the age of 4 weeks and up take a daily multivitamin! This is very important for pups especially. It is designed to boost immune systems and is packed with essential vitamins and protection! I strongly suggest ordering one container of Nuvet plus powder for your new puppy to continue using! One order lasts 3-4 months! I give my teen and adult dogs the wafer Nuvet plus. They also have a joint supplement that I give my senior newfs! TO ORDER: www.nuvet.com/798429 FISH OIL: I keep my dogs and pups on a daily fish oil supplement. Amazon or local stores sell these. Salmon or fish oil is fine. This keeps their skin from getting dry or irritated, also gives them a soft coat!
• Elevated Bowls: To make eating more comfortable for their height. • Heavy-Duty Leash: A 6-foot leather or thick nylon leash is best for training. • Large Crate: A 48-inch or 54-inch crate with a divider to grow with them. Or for early crate training, a small 20-24” crate works well!
