Steve and Dejah Petsch acquired their first Newfoundland in 1994. Their admiration and love for the Newfoundland breed has turned into a virtual obsession, leading to interests in breeding, conformation, water work, draft work and all other activities Newfoundlands take part in. Steve and Dejah are members of the Newfoundland Club of New England (NCNE), the Newfoundland Club of America (NCA) and are associate members of the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America.
