Salish Sea Newfoundlands

Salish Sea Newfoundlands, a Newfoundland breeder in Bellingham, WA, serves Whatcom County and the Puget Sound near Seattle. With years of experience, it follows recommended health screenings for hips, elbows and hearts and upholds national registry standards. Puppies are raised in a home environment, socialized with family activities from day one, and introduced to gentle water work along the bay shore.

Owners value the calm temperament and remarkable trainability these dogs display. Adults from this kennel often participate in local water rescue demonstrations, reflecting the breeder’s dedication to preserving the breed’s historic working skills. Its small-scale operation limits litters each year to ensure individualized care, and each puppy leaves with a starter kit including health records and basic grooming supplies. Located near protected tidal flats, the dogs enjoy daily freshwater swims and regular outings on nearby forest trails to support robust muscle development and social confidence.
