Gentle Soul Newfoundlands

Gentle Soul Newfoundlands is a Newfoundland breeder in Riverside, CA, in Riverside County and the Inland Empire near Los Angeles. Marisela has been breeding Newfoundland dogs for more than a decade in this family-owned kennel as a member of the Newfoundland Club of America.

All dogs undergo health screening for hip dysplasia and cardiac conditions according to club recommendations. Puppies are raised in a home environment with daily socialization around children and other pets. Adults live indoors with supervised outdoor time in a secure yard and access to water for swimming.

The breeding program emphasizes temperament and sound structure, with health records and lineage details provided to new owners. Their farm includes wooded acreage and a shaded pond where younger dogs develop natural swimming instincts. Several graduates have earned championship titles at regional shows and some have been placed as therapy dogs in local hospitals.
