Is a Newfoundland or a Labrador better?
Both breeds are excellent watchdogs. They’re loyal to their families and are ready to alert them to any danger. Labs, however, tend to be more trusting than their Newfie counterparts. Their friendly nature can sometimes get the best of them, which in most cases is precisely the trait dog owners look for in their pets.
How much is a Newfoundland puppy worth?

How long do Newfie Labs live?
10 to 12 years
Your vet may focus on the eyes, heart, and joints of your cross to identify if any of these issues appear. Newfoundlands usually live between 9 and 10 years, whereas Labradors can live from 10 to 12 years. As long as you keep your cross as healthy as possible, it could live anywhere between these ages.
Do Newfoundland mixes drool?
No. Some Newfoundland dogs drool only when they’re begging, taking a drink of water or eating. Other Newfies, like Sherman, drool almost 24/7. Some Newfies create one slobber string while others have the ability to create double slobber strings, aka shoestrings.
Are Newfoundlands hard to train?
Newfoundlands are good-natured, yes…. but they’re not pushovers to raise and train. Some Newfoundlands, especially young males, are very willful and require a firmer hand than you might have hoped when you brought home that cuddly puppy!

Why are chocolate labs rare?
Chocolate Labs are the rarest type of Labrador. This is because they must be homozygous recessive for the brown fur gene.
