    There arent many good breeders in ireland so the chances are you will have to travel and also wait for a pup as there arent many litters around.

    My friend just had to wait more than a year for one and had to go to the UK in the end as no litters in ireland at the moment and for the near future.

    I would advise going to some dog shows and getting to know some of the exhibitors and tell them you are interested in a pup and ask them to put you on the waiting list.
    These dogs are not easily sourced and you will have to wait for a pup.

    Just to add, these dogs arent cheap either, expect to pay anywhere in the region of 1000-1500 euro or sterling for a pup.

    if you where to contact baranova the breeder is Barbara turner she is handy for the boat also.I can reccomend her dogs.
    be careful where you buy from as there are alot of back yard breeders out there breeding newfoundlands that look like flat coat retrievers and dont resemble the breed.with lots of health problems.

    No prob, he wont have any pups for a while.

    Best thing is to make contact with these breeders and have a good chat with them and show you are interested.

    Barabara puts endorsemnents on her pups which are lifted when they get to a year old and have been health tested and passed. she is also very fussy where they go and is a very responsible breeder.She does have a web site.

    Thats exactly what a good breeder does. Pity there arent many more like that around.
