Often referred to as the "Red Bible" from Newfoundland owners across the world, this is an oldie but a goodie and one of my personal favorite and I refer to it often. It's from the 70's but it's loaded with great information, pictures and stories.

In the Company of Newfies is one of the most beautiful books ever written about dogs. It has become a classic and a collectible.

Thousands have found eye-opening insights into the hearts of their dogs.

Ninety-Nine Newfies is a must-have for anyone considering a Newfoundland. This book is edited by Pat Seawell and includes stories written by actual Newfie owners. The 99 stories in this book will make you cry and laugh as you get to know each Newfie. You'll learn firsthand what it's like to actually be owned by this amazing breed.

A sequel to the first book filled with even MORE Newfie stories including one of our very own, Leroy. I'm personally in love with these books!

Outlines the standards and history of the breed and discusses characteristics and health, breeding, raising a Newfoundland, and handling a dog in the show ring. This is another oldie but goodie and one that I have in my personal dog library. It does mention breeders and kennels that were popular many years ago and no longer producing litters. I still refer to it often.

This book was published in 1998 so once again it's an oldie but another personal favorite. It was helpful to me when I was searching and learning more about brown Newfoundlands. I think that the grooming and care information in this book is still relevant today also.

Don’t put the dog before the cart…until he is trained!Many people love the idea of being able to hitch their dogs to a cart and have them pull the kids around the yard or in a parade.

While this may seem simple, training a dog to willingly and safely do the work to pull a cart actually involves a lot of learning and effort on the part of both the dog and the handler. In this new book, author Laura Waldbaum will teach you what you and your dog need to know to help develop a “happy draft dog.”
