Newfoundland Puppies in Lansing, MI — Gentle Giants Raised with Love

At Lynn Kay Kennels, we specialize in raising healthy, well-socialized newfoundland puppies in Lansing MI for families who are looking for more than just a pet. Newfoundlands are often called “gentle giants,” and once you meet one, you’ll understand why. Despite their large size, they are known for their calm nature, patience with children, and deep devotion to their families. Every litter we raise is handled daily, given plenty of love, and started on the right path toward becoming a confident, well-mannered family companion. We believe responsible breeding means putting health and temperament first, and taking the time to match each puppy with a home where they’ll be cherished for life.

Located in Michigan, Lynn Kay Kennels has spent years focused on the health and happiness of every Newfoundland puppy we raise, and families come to us from Lansing and well beyond because they want a breeder who treats each puppy like part of the family until the day they go home. We keep our litters manageable so every puppy gets individual attention, from early handling and gentle socialization to routine health checks and exposure to everyday household sounds and activity. This hands-on approach is a big part of why our puppies settle in so easily once they join their new families, whether there are children, other pets, or a busy household waiting for them.

Find Your Perfect Companion with Newfoundland Puppies for Sale in Lansing MI

Families searching for newfoundland puppies for sale in Lansing MI usually want the same things: a dog that is affectionate, gentle, and easy to welcome into a home with kids or other pets. That’s exactly what our litters are known for. Depending on the season, we may have brown newfoundland puppies for sale in Lansing MI, along with our much-anticipated litters of brown and white landseer newfoundland puppies for sale, which only arrive about once a year. Every puppy leaves us with a solid start on socialization, a health guarantee, and a breeder who remains available to answer questions long after pickup or delivery day.

We know that choosing a breeder is just as important as choosing a puppy, so we’re always glad to answer questions about our parent dogs, our health testing, and what to expect during the first few weeks at home. Many of our families reach out well before a litter is even born so they can join our waiting list and get to know us first. We think that’s a smart approach — it gives you time to prepare your home and ask about feeding, grooming, or early training for a Newfoundland puppy long before pickup day arrives.

The Warmth of Our Brown Newfoundlands

Brown Newfoundlands have a soft, warm coat color that many families fall in love with at first sight, and their personalities are every bit as sweet as their appearance. Our brown litters tend to arrive alongside our black puppies in the fall, and we’re always happy to also share information about our brown and white newfoundland puppies for anyone hoping for that classic Landseer look. Whether you’re drawn to a solid brown coat or the striking brown and white pattern, each puppy is raised with the same care, attention, and early handling that make our dogs so well adjusted.

Because brown and Landseer litters are less frequent than our black litters, families hoping for one of these colors often plan ahead and reserve their spot early. We’re glad to keep you updated on when our next brown or Landseer litter is expected so you have a realistic sense of timing. No matter the coat color, every puppy receives the same early veterinary care, deworming schedule, and loving attention before they’re ever ready to leave for a new home.

Our Devoted Black Newfoundlands

Black is the most traditional Newfoundland color, and it remains one of the most requested among our families. If you’re hoping to bring home a black newfie puppy in Lansing MI, you’re in good company — our black litters are consistently our most popular, especially our black males. These puppies carry the classic Newfoundland traits people love most: steady temperaments, natural gentleness with children, and an eagerness to be close to their people. Because demand for our black puppies is so high, we recommend reaching out early to learn more about our current waiting list.

Since black puppies make up the majority of most of our litters, families hoping for this color often have a somewhat shorter wait than those hoping for a rarer coat. Even so, we recommend placing a deposit as soon as you know you’re ready, since our black males in particular tend to be reserved quickly each season. We’re always happy to talk through timing with you and help you decide which upcoming litter might be the best fit for your family.

Our Health Guarantee & Commitment to You

Every puppy that leaves Lynn Kay Kennels comes with a one year, 100% health guarantee to give you complete peace of mind, and we stand behind their hearts for life. We believe a guarantee like this reflects how seriously we take the health of our breeding dogs and every puppy they produce, and it’s a promise we don’t take lightly.

Beyond the guarantee itself, we remain a resource for our families long after pickup or delivery day. Whether you have a question about diet, growth, or raising a large breed puppy, we’re just a phone call or email away, because our relationship with you and your Newfoundland doesn’t end once a deposit is paid — it’s really just getting started.

Door to Door Delivery & Shipping Available

The puppies pictured above are still available and can be held with a $100 non-refundable deposit, good for life, made either through PayPal on our contact page or by mailing a check with your name, address, phone number, cell number, and the sex and color of the puppy you’re interested in. We’ll call or email to let you know when your puppy is ready for pickup. We ship anywhere in the continental United States and also offer door to door delivery in select areas. Right now, shipping and delivery charges average between $650 and $850 depending on mileage. We’ve kept our shipping costs low for the past ten years, but rising costs of living mean a modest increase this year. Shipping to western states is generally priced by mileage, since flying can sometimes cost more than driving those distances, and during the hottest summer months we may need to pause shipping if temperatures aren’t safe for travel.

Most of our families choose to have their puppy shipped, and while it’s natural to feel a little nervous about flying a puppy, we’ve safely flown hundreds of them over the years without incident. Your puppy travels in an airline-approved crate stocked with food, water, and bedding for the trip. For door to door delivery, your puppy is fed, watered, and walked according to their normal routine along the way, so they arrive happy, comfortable, and ready to settle into their new home.

We typically welcome a couple of litters in late fall, usually including both black and brown puppies along with the occasional surprise color. Our Landseer litters, on the other hand, arrive only about once a year, usually in late summer, though our bloodline can produce any color, so every litter carries a bit of anticipation. Families who have placed a deposit are always moved to the top of the waiting list and contacted first when a litter arrives, and we follow up afterward with anyone in our follow up folder to offer any puppies not yet placed. We’re currently accepting $100 deposits to reserve a spot on the waiting list for upcoming black males, which have been our most requested puppies this year. Feel free to call anytime for an update on whelping dates or to have your questions answered.

Puppy Update & Waiting List News

Lynn Kay Kennels welcomes our newest litter shown above, and we invite you to call anytime for details on upcoming litters as well.

Taking deposits now for our next litter, expected late October / early November.
We always have families who need to pass on a current litter, so openings do come up.
We’ve reached out to everyone on our waiting list with puppies ready now; anyone still hoping for a black and white remains on the list, and we’d love to hear from you if you feel you’ve been missed.
When a family needs to pass, we’re not always able to say exactly when the next opportunity will come, since every person on the list is contacted in turn.
Because so many families have needed to pass recently, often without much notice, we’re adjusting how we plan our litters so we aren’t rushing to find placements in the final weeks.
Going forward, anyone hoping for a puppy right away will be asked for an additional confirmation deposit to help secure that spot.
Families who’ve passed more than once are moved to our Non-Active folder and simply let us know when they’re ready to move back to Active — without ever losing their original place in line.
We breed throughout the year according to our paid deposit list, so extra, unplaced puppies are rare.
Please note that toward the end of 2026 we’ll again be adjusting our pricing slightly due to rising costs for supplies, veterinary care, food, and medicine.

We keep a waiting list year-round because deposits come in steadily, and it’s normal for a family to choose to pass and wait for a later litter depending on their circumstances. We always carry black puppies in nearly every litter unless we’re breeding specifically for Landseers, and we anticipate some families will continue to wait until the timing is right for them, which we completely understand. Anyone with a deposit is contacted first as soon as puppies are born, and any puppies not yet placed are shared with our follow up folder and posted to our website. Our current wait is running about six months, as we breed according to deposits received each month. Please note that we’re no longer breeding specifically for gray and fawn coloring, as these colors have tended to come with more allergy sensitivities.

At Lynn Kay Kennels, our goal has never been to simply sell a puppy — it’s to carefully raise healthy, well-socialized Newfoundland puppies and match them with loving, lifelong homes. If you’re ready to learn more or would like an update on our waiting list, we’d love to hear from you.

  Landseer litters typically arrive only about once a year, usually in late summer, since the bloodline occasionally produces this color as a surprise.
Are black Newfoundland puppies more available than brown ones?
Yes, black puppies make up the majority of most litters and are consistently the most requested, especially black males.
- Why are black males the most popular?
  Their classic coloring, steady temperament, and strong demand make black males the fastest puppies to be reserved each season.

Yes, Newfoundlands are known as “gentle giants” for their calm, patient temperament, making them well suited to households with children and other pets.

Do they need to be professionally trained?
Basic early socialization and handling are built into their upbringing, but families should still plan for standard puppy training and large-breed obedience work at home.

  Puppies are handled daily and exposed to household sounds and routines before they leave, which helps them adjust quickly to a new home.
Are Newfoundlands easy for first-time large-breed owners?

What does the one-year guarantee cover?
It covers the puppy’s general health for the first year, giving buyers protection against unforeseen health issues.
- What happens if a health issue is found?
  Buyers should contact the breeder directly to discuss next steps, as the guarantee is designed to provide recourse and support.

How much does shipping or delivery cost?
