| NEW STUD BOOK BAND |
In 2012 the Kennel Club moved Newfoundlands to Stud Book Band C (from Band D).
Stud Book numbers are now awarded only to the 1st and 2nd in Open and 1st in Limit Classes at Championship Shows where Challenge Certificates are on offer to
the breed.
Challenge Certificate, Reserve Challenge Certificate and Junior Warrant winners still qualify for a Stud Book number, as before. |

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:

The Southern Newfoundland Club is keen to promote the scheduling of classes for Newfoundlands at KC licensed Open Shows and actively encourage our members to support such shows.
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 (updated April 2012).
In some cases the SNC are willing to provide sponsorship, on application. Again, please contact Rachel for details.

Following the 2012 Seminar on Temperament, a new FREE service was launched for our members.
Kristina Glover, a highly qualified and experienced animal behaviourist, provides confidential professional advice by telephone and the cost of her consultancy is paid for by the SNC.
After a successful trial period the scheme has been extended and is ongoing. |
