Sandbears as a show kennel
We are pleased and proud that in a comparatively short period of time Sandbears is now the home of five UK Champions (three of them home-bred) and we have also bred an Irish Champion.
Champion Sandbears Cappachino
(Chino) gave us our proudest moment in the breed to date
when he went Best in Show (All Breeds) at the Scottish Kennel Club Championship
Show on 24th August 2008. It was a wonderful achievement for Sandbears and the first
time a Newfoundland had gone "all the way" at an all-breeds UK Championship
show for many years.
Champion Sandbears Americano
(Shelby) was the top winning Newfoundland Puppy in 2006 and went on to become a Champion in 2009 winning a total of six Challenge Certificates and four Reserve CCs during the year and finishing as the top winning Newfoundland Bitch in 2009.
Champion Cayuga Slam Dunk at Sandbears
(Luna) won the Reserve CC at Crufts 2010 and went on to gain her UK Champion title. She finished the year with six Challenge Certificates, a Working Group 3 place and was the top winning Newfoundland Bitch in the UK for 2010.
You can find an assortment of pictures of Sandbears Newfoundlands in the show ring on our Showing Gallery page.
Sandbears as a newfie family
Most live in our heated kennels but during the day they enjoy the freedom (and the mud when it is wet!) of our paddocks and gardens where they have loads of love and attention from us all.
Our Fun Gallery page has many more pictures of Sandbears doing just that ... having fun.
Our "With Friends" section
We are inviting everyone with Sandbears newfies who would like be included in the "With Friends" section to get in touch so that we can create pages for their Sandbears newfs.
It doesn't matter if they are show dogs or pets, we're proud of them all and would love to include them.
We're asking for pictures (preferably high resolution, if possible) and a few words of description.
The pictures don't have to be show poses, pictures of them working, having fun or just being themselves at home are all welcome. Our email address is on the Contact page.
