This Newfoundland Dog content began in 2004 when we used our art website to easily access favourite photos of 'Wellington' our first Newfoundland dog.
After a while the page, which was well hidden from our art content, became searchable in its own right and other Newfy enthusiasts began to visit us. From there we decided to make Wellington's photo page into a Q&A about Newfoundlands, providing answers to the questions we would inevitably be asked every time we were out on a walk.
When Newfoundland puppy 'Henry' joined our family in 2006 we began a photographic blog, often incorporating our stunning New Zealand Alpine vistas and more recently, snippets of life in quake stricken Canterbury.
Having received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback and traffic, we made our Newfoundland dog content highly accessible, with a view to creating an independent Newfoundland dog website sometime in the near future. On facebook we provide NZ Newfy (and we love ‘likes’!).
Our purpose
is to share our life with Newfies with anyone interested so if you are
a 'dog person' we trust you will enjoy our Newfoundland puppy &
dog section, indexed below. Please note that all images on this
