A Newfypoo typically grows to be a large dog, reaching about 25 inches in height and weighing up to 100 pounds, though smaller variations may weigh around 45 to 50 pounds depending on breeding specifics.
Yes, Newfypoos make excellent family dogs due to their calm, affectionate, and social nature. They are loving, even-tempered, and friendly, getting along well with children, adults, and other pets, and they also have loyal and protective instincts.
Some cons include potential protective behaviour requiring proper socialisation, their large size which demands regular exercise and mental stimulation, occasional stubbornness due to high intelligence needing patient training, and the possibility of significant shedding despite some claims of low shedding.
Newfypoos can shed considerably, especially if the Newfoundland traits dominate their coat. While some sources claim they can be low-shedding or hypoallergenic, regular grooming is necessary to manage natural shedding.
