Welcome to the SNC web site
The Southern Newfoundland Club (SNC) was formed in 2008 and is registered with the Kennel Club and recognised as a UK Breed Club.
The club aims to promote, protect and preserve the Newfoundland dog breed by the involvement of the Club and our growing membership
in Working, Showing and Welfare activities.
We are particularly keen on encouraging participation and involvement by our junior members so we feature prominently their
results and achievements on this site. New pictures, announcements and other features are added regularly ... so please visit often!
Our content is produced largely from the photographs and information provided by our members so please send in your pictures, comments and suggestions to:

We invite Secretaries of canine clubs and Judges who have accepted appointments to judge Newfoundlands to contact our show list co-ordinator Liz Shears by email with details and we will include the information on our Open Show Calendar page, free of charge.
The SNC is committed to the development of judges for Newfoundlands, both specialist and non-specialist and we maintain a list of judges which can be downloaded here.
Please feel free get in touch with our Hon. Secretary, Rachel Hutchinson, for contact details of the judges.
In some cases the SNC are willing to provide sponsorship, on application. Again, please contact Rachel for details.
