 Newfies even get in on the wedding! I'm Suzanne Blake. I was formerly Suzanne Coffey until July 2006 when Mark, my husband made an "honest woman" of me. I've been showing, breeding and most of all enjoying dogs for more than 21 years. However, it is only since 2001 that I've become involved with Newfies. I encountered by first Newfoundland when I was 18 years old and immediately decided that one day I would be owned by one. Now, as you will see from looking around the web site, I am totally owned! |
 Typical breed temperament, devoted is one word for it! I'm absolutely dedicated to the breed and my intention is to own, exhibit and breed Newfoundlands of the very best quality. For Sandbears, temperament is paramount followed by health and then excellence in type and construction. In order to achieve those goals, I have imported top bloodlines from Italy, the USA, Hungary, France and Finland and will continue to do my best to widen and strengthen the gene pool so promoting health, longevity and the best in temperaments and type. |
 My daughter, Rebecca, handling Sally  My son, Jack, practicing handling with Robbie I'm fortunate to have the full support of my husband, Mark, who is also very knowledgable about the breed and has been involved in the working side of Newfoundlands in water, carting and draft work. My daughter, Rebecca and son, Jack are both getting involved too and showing great promise as junior handlers. It is wonderful to have the support of my whole family and a circle of dear friends, I thank you all. |
 Sandbears home in winter Our home is in Denbighshire, a beautiful part of North Wales, and we have plenty of space for our doggie family which apart from our newfies includes our pet Pugs and Great Dane. The picture to the right is a recent shot of our home and paddocks. The little black things are indeed newfies ... they're MUCH bigger close-up! |
