At Makepeace Newfoundlands we do not breed Newfoundlands as a source of income.  Our goal is the betterment of the breed.  We began our research of the breed some 16 years ago and waited for a year and a half for our first Newf puppy.  She was our foundation bitch and went on the become a Versatile Newfoundland, VN CH Waidin's Makepeace Addie, CD, DD, WRD, CGC.   Temperament and health are of the highest priority in our breeding program.  We are certainly proud of our Newfs & families that have gone on to earn titles in water, draft, etc. but we are equally proud of the many therapy dogs that are giving back in their community!  We believe that it is only through research and sound breeding practices that the Newfoundlands can continue to achieve the standard set forth.

Several years before being blessed with our first Newfoundland, we were told "It is an honor to live with these guys." This has proven to be very true and we hope that through careful, selective breeding practices we can produce healthy Newfs with a sweet disposition so we may share this experience with others. ~ Chris & Ivan

Introducing the new "Makepeace Gate" by Jezroc Metal Works!                                           

This is the most wonderful addition to our dog life (just short of puppies!)  We threw away the ugly baby gates that we have been fighting and falling over for over 15 years.  It's amazing how something so simple can change your daily life!  Matt & Jen built this custom design for us and they have now named the design "Makepeace".  How fun is that!  Please visit their website to see more of their wonderful products, www.jezrocmetalworks.com.
