Dee Adrian along with her parents, Paul & Barbara Adrian, started Breakwater Newfoundlands in the late 1980’s.
They enjoy their Newfs first and foremost as family companions in addition to competing in AKC Conformation shows. The Newfs enjoy 14 fenced acres of woods to romp through and a large pond in which to swim during the hot summer months in central Indiana–though a few enjoy polar bear swims in the winter months when the pond is free from ice.
All of our pups are raised in our home as part of our family. They are well socialized before they go to their new families and homes. Because we feel so strongly that a Newfoundland should be a valued member of the family, we screen selectively for homes that will treasure them as the loving companions they are. We are here for the lifetime of the dogs we breed. In other words, we will be here for you and your Newfoundland.
We believe it is our responsibility to breed only when it is for the betterment of the Newfoundland. Our breeding philosophy is that we do not compromise soundness, excellence of type or of temperament to attain beauty-but a beautiful dog is a joy to behold and to own!
Here at AddaBear Newfoundlands, we have many years of experience raising, showing, and loving these beautiful dogs. We breed for health, temperament, and AKC standard. The bloodlines of our Newfoundlands have many generations of champions. Our Newfoundlands and puppies get constant interaction, and attention, to assure proper socialization, whether we are raising them for the show ring or for a wonderful pet. We are just a family who loves their Newfies and would like to share the joy they bring us, with you.
At Bear N Mind Newfoundlands, we breed just one or two litters per year as we strive to produce puppies “who can do it all”. Our goal is to produce dogs with the type and temperament of our wonderful Newfoundland breed, dogs that are confident and comfortable in the show ring, the water, pulling a cart or with our grandchildren in the family room.
