The Newfoundland Club of America believes in honoring responsible breeders who have gone above and beyond on health issues, temperament, and genetic screening, as well as to the individual care and placement of puppies in responsible homes. The NCA Breeder of Distinction Program recognizes those breeders who are dedicated to preserving breed characteristics and producing healthy, well-socialized Newfoundlands. We consider them the most conscientious and most committed breeders.
