CHATEAUNEWF NEWFOUNDLANDS

Chateaunewf Newfoundland's are Doug, Sue and Sharon ably assisted by the chief dog walker and man behind the scenes, Sue’s husband Peter. We are based in Norfolk, UK.

After her career in show jumping was ended by serious injury, Sharon fell in love with Newfies, Her first Newf was a beautiful Landseer called Moki and it was with her that Sharon started showing in 1995 and having some good success. Moki later had a litter with her Breeder and from this sharon had her second Newfie a male called Woodie, who went on to have a great early showing career with many best puppy awards and also being placed twice at Crufts. It was at this time that Sharon met Doug and Chateaunewf Newfoundland's was created. Why Chateaunewf?  Doug has a love of France and so the French connection was deemed appropriate for our UK Newf home or Chateaunewf!!

After many years of developing and learning about the breed, we were joined in the kennel by Sue and Peter Waller who have Chateaunewf Just William, and in 2005 Sue joined Sharon and Doug on the affix.

Although we have participated and enjoyed all aspects of the breed including water and draught work, our passion is for showing these amazing dogs. We are currently members of The Newfoundland Club, The Southern Newfoundland Club and The italian societe amatori terranova (SAT) Club.
