Browse by kennel

If you would like to browse all dogs with a certain kennel name, type just the kennel name without any "s" or apostrophe "s" at the end. Some kennels have two word names that in some cases may have been condensed to get a name shortened. In those cases you may need to search both. For example – search "Little Bear" and "Littlebear."

Dog not found

If your search does not show the dog you are looking for, search for a smaller fragment of the dog's registered name, leaving out all apostrophes, hyphens or other punctuation marks.

Dogs are entered according to their AKC registered names. If the kennel name, for example, is spelled differently on the AKC registration, it will appear that way in the search results. For example – Newton-Ark, Newtonark and Newton Ark. A good search to show all of these dogs would be to type "Newton" in the search field.

Database contents

The NCA database contains over 30,000 Newfoundland dogs born from 1900 to the present that have either earned NCA, AKC titles OR had genetic health testing results listed in a publicly accessible database.

Finding a breeder

The NCA database contains many years worth of data. Not all breeders included in the database have active breeding programs. Contact information for individual breeders is not provided via this database. In an effort to help people interested in purchasing a Newfoundland dog, the Newfoundland Club of America, Inc., maintains a list of breeders who have met certain qualifications. If you are looking for a particular breeder, you can use the search function at the bottom of the breeders list page to determine if a breeder is currently listed. The NCA Breeders list is an annual listing.
