Puppy Application

Thank you for your interest in purchasing a Sea Fever Newfoundland puppy.

Completing this application does not put the potential buyer nor the breeder under any obligation. All information is kept strictly confidential. Please read all of the following requirements before submitting this application.

Due to new CDC regulations, we cannot sell puppies under the age of 6 months to homes in the United States
Due to the volume of applications received, only those selected for a telephone interview will be contacted.
A securely fenced yard is a requirement.
All puppies are sold on a non-breeding agreement.
Children in the home should be 3 years of age or older. This is for the safety of both the child and puppy. Puppies require a significant amount of undivided attention and commitment. It is our preference to place puppies with families that have children over at least 3 years of age.
Preference will be given to those with other dogs over the age of 12 months. This is for the safety of all animals in the home. We prefer not to place puppies in a home where another puppy already resides. It can be very difficult to raise two puppies safely at the same time, especially if there is a significant size difference.
Puppies are sent home with pet insurance. Due to the increasing costs of veterinary care and to protect the health of your Newfoundland puppy, we strongly recommend pet insurance. Preference will be given to those applicants willing to continue insurance coverage.
Puppy placements are at the full discretion of Sea Fever and puppies will be placed based on best fit.
Puppies are $5,000 CAD
Puppies will be CKC registered and microchipped before leaving and have age-appropriate vaccinations.
All hearts will be cleared by auscultation by a Board-Certified Cardiologist before puppies will be placed with their new owners. Hearts are cleared between 9-10 weeks of age.

By submitting this application, you state that all information is true and accurate.
