Beardog Kennels began in 1987 in Alfred, Ontario,
with our foundation dogs coming from Marcarpents Kennels of Cornwall. We have
been active in Conformation, Carting, Tracking and Therapy work over the
years, and for many years participated in the Ottawa Firefighters Santa Claus
Parade with the Ottawa Newfoundland Dog Club. We have been members of the
Ottawa Kennel Club, the Ottawa Newfoundland Dog Club, the Canadian Kennel Club
and the Newfoundland Dog Club of America and Pat has been a director of both
the Newfoundland Dog Club of Canada, and the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry
Dog Association. Pat has also worked for various clubs as a conformation show
Ring Steward.
Dedicated to preserving true Newfoundland
temperament and type, our Newfs have been active in conformation, carting,
therapy and of course the whelping box! Our dogs are successful in the show
ring, obedience, and draft work, but most especially in the home, where their
loving, gentle, placid natures make them the best of loving companions. Here
at Beardog, we try to produce the very best puppies for loving homes and
families and several of our dogs are documented as having saved their owner's
or owner's children's lives.
In July of 2003, Beardog Newfoundlands relocated to
the lovely Bay of Quinte area, just west of Trenton, Ontario. Included in our
brand new kennel setup are a heated and air conditioned kennel building, a
half-acre fenced play compound filled with mature apple and pear trees where
our dog family spends it's days, and a room all their own for puppies and
mommies in the house. Due to the exceptionally sweet natures of our dogs, they
are all, including our multiple Stud Dogs, able to live in peace and harmony
in a group, being separated only at night into pairs. Next on the drawing
board is a walk-in, indoor bathing facility.
Our puppies are born right in the house, and raised
underfoot for the best socialization start possible; so important during those
early weeks. They are exposed to big dogs, little dogs, cats, children,
strangers and lots of noise and activity. When they are ready to go, at some
point after 8 weeks, they think people are the greatest thing in the world. By
that time they have had their first vaccination and tattoo, administered by
our Veterinarian.
We feed our dogs only the best of food, never
outdated or bargain foods which may be rancid; we highly recommend Purina Pro
Plan which we have been feeding for many years. We believe that our dogs
deserve the best, and are longtime members of the Purina Pro Club with our
BISS CH. Beauforts Kablouie at Beardog CGC being one of the presitigious
Purina Champions for 2002.
