Our Story
The Northern California Newfoundland Club (NCNC) is a regional non-profit 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting the Newfoundland dog breed. First collective action was in February 1970 when a group of Newfoundland Fanciers, including Cindy and Larry Lerner, Shelby Guelich, Alana Manzer and Bill Tate, held a NCA Specialty Show in conjunction with Santa Clara Valley KC show. This same group went on to found NCNC. The club was established to support the breed's unique characteristics, including its friendly temperament, loyalty, and impressive athletic abilities.
NCNC provides opportunities for education, training, rescue efforts, and community engagement through events like water and draft tests, social gatherings, and breed showcases. The club also serves as a resource for Newfoundland owners, fostering a supportive network to ensure the health and well-being of these gentle giants.
