Newfypoo (All Sizes) Puppies For Sale

Newfypoos, mini through standard

The Newfypoo crosses a Newfoundland with a Poodle. This page brings the sizes together, which is useful with this particular cross because the difference between them is larger than in most.

The Newfoundland side

Newfoundlands are working water dogs from the Canadian island they are named for, where they hauled nets, carried lines, and pulled carts alongside fishermen. They are enormous, powerfully built, and equipped with webbed feet and a heavy water-resistant coat.

What the breed is best known for is disposition. Newfoundlands are famously placid, patient, and undramatic, and that steadiness is the main thing people are seeking when they choose this cross. Add the Poodle’s intelligence and low-shedding coat and you get a shaggy, calm, clever dog.

Standard versus mini

A standard Newfypoo is a very large animal, and it is worth being realistic about that before the puppy arrives. Crate size, car space, food budget, grooming bills, and vet costs all scale with the dog. Leash training has to start immediately, because a hundred-pound dog that pulls is a hundred-pound problem.

A mini Newfypoo, built on a Miniature Poodle parent, keeps a good deal of the temperament at a size most households can accommodate. For many people that is the practical answer.

Adult size in a crossbreed is a projection, not a promise. Ask us about the individual puppy’s parents and expected range.

Coat and heat

Expect a thick, shaggy coat somewhere between the Newfoundland’s dense double coat and the Poodle’s curls. It usually sheds far less than a Newfoundland’s and mats considerably more.

Brush three or four times a week, in sections, right down to the skin, and follow with a comb. Professional grooming every six to eight weeks. Mats form behind the ears, under the front legs, and along the trousers.

Heat is a genuine planning item in Florida and Tennessee. A dog bred for the north Atlantic carrying a heavy coat needs cool-hour exercise, shade, water, and air conditioning through the middle of the day. Ask a groomer who understands heavy coats about the right summer trim rather than shaving.

Both parents love water, and most Newfypoos will get into any pool they can find. Dry the ears properly afterwards.

Growing up and settling down

Give large-breed puppies time. Feed a large-breed puppy formula, measure portions, keep exercise low-impact while the dog is filling out, and ask your vet about the growth curve.

Exercise needs for adults are moderate rather than extreme. What this cross wants most is to be near its people, and neither parent breed copes well with long days alone.
