Famous Newfoundland Owners




A version of this list appears occasionally on the Newf-L email list, and versions may be found on several websites as well. (I'm afraid I have no idea who first created this list, so am unable to provide credit here.)

Please note that in the case of many of these individuals, my research is still tentative; the fact I have not yet found verification that some people listed here are/were Newf owners doesn't mean they aren't or weren't. Any definitive information I have is included in the annotations, which will pop up when you mouseover the individual names.


Names in bold have been added to the original list by me.
