Welcome to our 5th annual Christmas Tree Pull List!
If you’re looking for a festive way to kick of the holiday season and you love NEWFIES, this is the way to go!
There’s a handful of Christmas tree farms across that the country that will proudly be hosting events that include dogs, specifically Newfoundlands, who have volunteered their time to help haul your Christmas tree!
This is a great chance for you to get out and support your fellow Newfies, and if you’ve been looking to get a Newfoundland, this is a great way to see the breed in action and talk to many educated people who can help answer any questions that you might have.
Here’s a shortlist of some of the Christmas tree pull events that I’ve found so for the 2021 season.
This post will be updated as dates are announced so be sure to check back in a few weeks.

The Penn-Ohio Newfoundland Club will be doing a special fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network at the Ace Hardware store in Wexford, PA on Dec 4 from 10 AM – 1 PM.
Teams are needed to haul packages from the store to the buyer’s vehicles in the parking lot.
If you don’t have a cart but live in the area, stop by and give a donation.
If you’re lucky enough to be able to attend one of these events make sure to support the regional club by providing the Newfie who hauls your tree a tip or make a donation to the club. These Newfies are working hard for other Newfies!
Also, every year that we post about these events we get a lot of people asking about how to get a Newfie involved in carting.
We highly recommend contacting your regional Newfoundland group who can further assist you with the training and equipment needed.
We do have a Beginner’s Guide To Carting With Your Dog that you can check out to see what’s involved.
