Welcome! My name is Jeremy Isaiah, owner of Rio Grande Newfoundlands!
RIO GRANDE NEWFOUNDLANDS is located in colorful Colorado. Growing up in a Newfoundland breeding household, I have enjoyed a lifetime of learning experience and knowing the importance of Newfoundland health and quality bloodlines! We are honored to be mentored by several reputable Newfoundland breeders as well, as our commitment to providing beautiful and healthy loving pups never ends. We breed from generations of health monitored bloodlines, using both OFA health certifications and PennHip. Our Newfs are raised as companions in our home. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

HEALTH INFORMATION
The NEWFOUNDLAND DOG DATABASE is the most reliable resource for finding a dogs health certifications, and for researching the health of the bloodline.
We do a variety of health testings for our adults, to ensure the health and integrity of our bloodlines remain the best possible. Our DNA testing is done through AKC. Degenerative Myelopathy and Cystinuria testing are done through GenSol, and we breed strictly from Cystinuria clear bloodlines. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals provides OFA Heart certifications, OFA Hip, OFA Elbow, and OFA Patella. Our health information is found on Our Newfs page.
WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH YOUR PUPPY?
Our puppies go home at 9-10 weeks, having their health check and at least two vaccinations, regular deworming, and an AKC ReUnite microchip. Our puppy-care bag includes a hard-cover puppy book which holds their AKC Registration, AKC ReUnite microchip registration, health records complete with health check, vaccination and deworm information, blanket, shampoo, toys, adjustable collar and leash, a copy of our extended 2-year guarantee, along with other important information. You're always welcome to reach out with questions anytime.
PUPPY NUTRITION
When choosing a premium kibble, always choose one which is rated 3-to-5 stars on the Dog Food Advisor. Avoid feeding high-protein foods as these are formulated for hunting dogs and other high energy working breeds, and can potentially cause behavioral and health issues in breeds which are not high-energy working dogs. Our puppies are raised eating Black Gold Explorer. We highly recommend and do offer NuVet supplements, which are cold pressed and not highly processed. Studies show cold-pressed vitamins and supplements are much more beneficial and more easily absorbed.
