Newf owners - Why does it seem hard to find Newfs as rescues?

I am looking to get a newfoundland in a couple years down the road. Ideally, I would like to rescue a dog rather than get a pup off a breeder, but newfoundlands seem to be scarce whenever I check sites like petfinder. I ask about puppies because I would like to get a dog young to help solidify a strong bond from an early stage. Did you guys have to go to a breeder to find newf pups? Cause they seem scarce in the rescue department.


Answer
Members of the Newfoundland Club of America are usually on top of things where millers are concerned. Newfies require a lot of room (crate wise) so it isn't feasible for them to breed Newfs. You could probably fit 8 Yorkie crates in place of one Newf crate. There are still a few millers out there breeding Newfs, though.

BYB's - there are tons of BYB's breeding Newfs. Since Newfies from a reputable breeder cost around $2000, a BYB can get at least $900 from an uneducated prospective Newf owner.

I will add this - just because you don't see the Newf on Petfinder - it doesn't mean the rescue doesn't have what you are looking for. Some are in the evalutation stage, some require surgery, some just don't get posted because besides rescue and foster, many of these folks work full time and have Newfs of their own. There are also private Newf rescues, as well.

Here is the National Rescue Contact Info - for regional club rescues.

How much does a beagle puppy cost?

I don't mind getting one from an animal shelter.


Answer
It largely depends on the breeder and quality of the puppy as far as it living up to AKC standards. You can also rescue one at a shelter. My son adopted his dog at a shelter for $70.00. As for breeders....The prices are between $200.00 up to $900.00. If you buy from a breeder in another state, you will have to pay for the airplane transport and an airline approved crate.
