Prospective buyers should visit
dog shows, check the Newfoundland Club of America (link to Newf club) for breed information and the names of
responsible breeders, and should never, ever buy a puppy
from a
breeder who does not test both sire and dam for hip dysplasia and heart problems, allow puppy buyers to visit with
adult dogs, and answer questions about the breed and his breeding program.
If you are interested in a Miniature Schnauzer puppy in the Northern California area, or even an
adult Miniature Schnauzer
dog from a
responsible breeder, our Public Awareness Committee can let you know who in the area may have what you are looking for.
