North Central Newfoundland Club Welcome to The North Central Newfoundland Club! NCNC serves Newf lovers in Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and Eastern Iowa.

We are dedicated to preserving and protecting our wonderful Newfoundland dogs, as well as to savoring our daily lives with them. The North Central Newfoundland Club, Inc. (NCNC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the Newfoundland dog. The club promotes this goal by organizing and sponsoring dog shows and working trials, including annual water and draft tests and a Regional Specialty. Open to families and individuals who enjoy working and playing with their Newfs, we also provide plenty of fun and educational activities throughout the year including water and draft workshops and several annual parties. All this information can be found in our Newf News newsletter which is published every other month. Founded in 1970, the NCNC now boasts over 200 members. We encourage members to attend quarterly meetings where we discuss club business and plan forthcoming events. These meetings are also a great way to meet other Newfie enthusiasts and to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge our club members have gained over their many years working, playing with, and caring for their Newfoundlands.

Did you happen to see that there will be a FastCAT Fun Run at Newfiepalooza 2026?

No, this isn’t a mistake! Our beloved Newfoundlands have been taking up this fun new AKC sport! It’s one of the simplest sports to get started with. Show up and let your Newf RUN!

Check out this write up from Ms Twyla, who is a veteran FastCATTER! And, a video of a first time runner, Zeke, who tried out a Fun Run this past weekend to see how simple it would be. If Big Zeke can do it, anyone can do it!
**********
FastCAT is a timed 100 yard dash where a dog chases a bag lure down a straight track. A volunteer is at one end holding your dog and you are at the finish line beckoning your Newf to come to you! It's just a fun time for dogs to stretch their legs and play chase. For those that are not interested in the lure, like my Newf "Twyla", it's really a 100 yard recall. She has been running for almost 2 years and has such a fun time, though she is definitely not fast. There are three titles that can be earned and they are based on points, which corresponds with how many miles per hour the dog runs. Small and medium sized dogs get a handicap, but our big dogs do not. Twyla's average speed is 10 mph so she averages 10 points per run. Twyla is definitely not built for speed, but many other Newfs are and average in the 20+ mph range. At 150 points, a dog earns a BCAT, at 500 points is a DCAT and 1000 points is an FCAT. Twyla has earned her BCAT! Some clubs give an award for the slowest run of the day, called a Turtle award. Twyla has won 3 Turtle awards. Rumor has it that NCNC will be giving out a coveted Turtle award at Newfiepalooza!
