Newfoundland dog breeder help

[Natural]

Hello,

My girlfriend and I are looking for a newfoundland dog breeder. We found one. Heaven on earth in red deer Alberta. We just filled out the questionnaire and sent it off. We are now waiting to hear back. Though talking with friends I'm being warned to make sure they're not a puppy mill simply for the amount of dogs they have. They have a lot of male and females however they're ckc registered and appear to have a very large living area for their animals, heart and hip information on their dogs

We have been having a hard time finding a breeder that replies to emails. It could be that they're not breeding right now or we might looking to get on a waiting list too early. 6-8 months is when we are hoping to find us a dog. But we want to find a reputable breeder now and if we have to wait so be it.
