Wakayoo
is a legendary black bear. We thought this to be very appropriate
for our kennel name.
We are a small family
kennel, located in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, in South Australia.
After 26 years of
owning Old English Sheepdogs, we have been totally won over by the
Newfoundland dog. It was not a quick decision to change breeds, but
a long and painstaking journey. Now, looking back, we wish we had
done it sooner.
Our dogs are much
loved and protected members of our household, and they all live indoors with us.
We are active in breed information, conformation and pet therapy
work.
We have recently
imported a lovely dog from
Krambjörnen's Newfoundlands in
Sweden, to increase our bloodlines.
Whilst we love our
dogs, we are aware that the Newfoundland is not the dog for
everyone, and are committed to finding them life long homes.
Temperament and
structure of our dogs is something we are very proud of, and feel it
is very important in a giant breed.
Our breeding mission
is to breed sound healthy Newfoundlands. Our newfs are sweet
natured. They love people and other animals and are beautiful with
children.
All of our dogs are
hip and elbow scored and cystinuria tested.
