When you put together a Newfoundland and another great dog, you get one of the amazing Newfoundland mixes. A few things are probable. It will be a fairly big dog with a lot of hair – of course, with a few exceptions.
Newfoundlands are among relatively popular dog breeds in the USA. On the list of the American Kennel Club, you will find this breed among 50 of the most popular.
It is a nice dog that originates from Newfoundland Island, in Canada. Some say it is a descendant of the Mastiffs; others say his ancestors are the Great Pyrenees, but no one can tell for sure. He is probably a mix of both of them, with a pinch of Siberian Husky.
It was interesting for me when I found out that a black and white Newfoundland is called a Landseer.
Big dogs, such as the Newfoundland, usually have a shorter lifespan than their smaller colleagues. Most of them have typical health issues like problems with hip dysplasia, stenosis, or issues with elbows.
Mixed-breed dogs sometimes have fewer health issues compared to their purebred parents. Let’s meet some of the most popular Newfoundland mixes!
1. Newfie Husky
Breeds in the mix: Siberian Husky And Newfoundland
Save your breath because you will be left breathless soon. We are about to encounter a real stunner among Newfoundland mixes – the enchanting Newfie Husky.
The Newfie is such a charmer. It is one lucky pup. He got his Siberian parent deep blue eyes, and his Newfoundland parent soft, loose ears. Such a cutie!
Though, such beauty has to be a bit harder to maintain, so if you want to know if this dog sheds a lot, ask yourself whether Siberian Huskies shed as well as Newfoundlands.
2. New Labralound
Breeds in the mix: Labrador Retriever And Newfoundland
Call me by my other name: Newfie Lab
Is a female or a male Labrador Retriever better? Can you pick the best Labrador color? Sounds almost like an impossible choice. When we add the Newfoundland breed, then we get an unbelievably nice mixed breed.
The New Labralound is a big dog you can not resist… you can not resist pleasing his every wish, of course. When he gives you that beseeching look, there is nothing you can do but make his every wish come true.
Since the Labrador Retriever is notorious for his good behavior, and I must say that the Newfoundland is nothing less of a good boy – we can expect the same from the New Labralound. A fine family dog who loves its master.
3. German Wirehaired Newfie
Breeds in the mix: German Wirehaired Pointer And Newfoundland
Call me by my other name: German Wirehaired Newfie Pointer
We probably won’t call him by his other name because it is too complicated and not very sonorous. We can make it shorter and call him Wire Newf. To be honest, it is a nickname I came up with because it sounds a lot cuter.
The best thing with mixed puppies (or maybe not for someone who doesn’t like surprises) is that you never know with certainty which trait will prevail in the offspring. In this case, it could be the hard working Newfoundland dog or the Wirehaired Pointer’s qualities.
If you are lucky, your new pup will be the balanced combination of a working dog with a fine sense of smell. When it comes to appearance, expect him to have an undercoat, which will require a little bit more brushing.
4. American Bulldog Newfoundland Mix
Breeds in the mix: American Bulldog and Newfoundland
Have you bought the best brush out there? Yes, this crossbreed will shed in great amounts because both his parents have that unlikable trait. I must say that I was surprised by that information when it comes to the Bulldog, at least.
I was also surprised by the information that the American Bulldog almost became extinct. Thanks to enthusiastic veterans, we have two lines today: the Scott, and the Johnson American Bulldog. And, thanks to them, today, we have this awesome mixed breed.
Big dogs have big-dog problems, and this offspring is a big one. There are a few common health issues that you may encounter with this dog, such as elbow dysplasia.
5. Newfoundland Pitbull Mix
Breeds in the mix: Pitbull And Newfoundland
Call me by my other name: Newfie Pitbull
There are at least 16 dog breeds that look like Pitbulls, but they are not really a Pittbull. The Newfie Pitbull is some kind of a Pitbull, and he looks like one, too. One would definitely say that he looks like his more muscled parent compared to the hairy one.
But, he got his double coat from the Newfoundland, though he does not have as much hair as the Newfie does. Thank Goodness, there won’t be as much matting and brushing as usual.
There is something that this puppy got as a combination of the genes of the parent breeds. You never know if your puppy will be light or dark colored. A combination of these two will produce a large dog for sure.
6. New Rottland
Breeds in the mix: Rottweiler And Newfoundland
You can call me by my other name: Newfweiler
Do you have a huge yard? No, I am not asking because I want to buy your crib. I am asking because you will need one if you want to get yourself a giant dog such as the New Rottland. And, I bet you will after you meet one.
Do you think Rottweilers are dangerous? Do you think Newfoundlands are hard to manage? You can sigh because those two are genuine gentle giants. And, so is New Rottland. It is almost 150 pounds of thick coat and pure love. And, that love this dog shows is of the best protector and bodyguard of his master.
But, unfortunately, we have the same case here as in the Bulldog mix and many other Newfoundland mixes. Big dogs have common health problems, although, sometimes, mixes can be healthier than purebreds. That is why some breeders like them better.
7. Swiss Newfie
Breeds in the mix: Swiss Mountain Dog And Newfoundland
What do Swiss Mountain Dogs have to do with Tibetan Mastiffs? Well, they are both gigantic… that is for sure. But, some say that the Swiss Mountain Dog is a descendant of the Tibetan Mastiff. Now, I wonder how he got to the Swiss Alps.
But, whatever the path he took to reach that mountain was – hey, now I know why ‘Mastiff’ sounds like ‘masiff’ – they are both huge. Anyway, both the Swiss Mountain Dog and the Newfoundland are purebred dogs that like wet weather and snow.
They kind of resemble each other. Though, most of the owners and professionals say that the Swiss Newfie puppy looks more like his Alpenese parent. Oh… and those eyes. When he gives you that deep and loving gaze, it makes every cold heart melt just like he does mountain snow in the spring.
8. Irish Newfie
Breeds in the mix: Irish Wolfhound And Newfoundland Mix
What is your first association when someone says ‘Irish Wolfhound’? I mean, besides the fact that it is an Irish dog. To me, the first thing that occupies my mind is fear. I mean, his name just sounds fearful – ‘Wolfhound’… almost like a fairytale creature.
But, this could not be further from the truth. Irish Wolfhounds, aside from their size, are nice creatures that are surprisingly laid-back, though they are kind of protective… maybe more of a watchdog. And, when we add their size to it, they can seem terrifying.
So, the combo of the Irish Wolfhound and the Newfoundland provides us with a giant among Newfoundland mixes. Since both of them come from islands, they are equipped with a waterproof coat just like the Irish Newfie will be.
9. Saint Bernewfie
Breeds in the mix: Saint Bernard And Newfoundland
You can call me by my other name: Bernefie
Maybe you can check the Saint Bernard growth chart and the Newfoundland growth chart in order to gain insight on how gigantic their Saint Bernard mix would get.
Have you checked? And, what do you say? Do you have a backyard big enough for the needs of this huge dog?
If you get this dog, and you happen to have a small child at the same time, prepare a lot of cloths and tissues. You may ask, why? Well, both of them drool a lot, and many people are not very fond of slobber around the house.
When it comes to kids, this dog is usually taller than them, but mostly preschoolers, though. And, they are also enormous when it comes to weight. They can reach the weight of an adult man.
10. Native American Newfie
Breeds in the mix: Native American Indian Dog And Newfoundland
There must be a Native American Dog among Newfoundland mixes. It almost seems like a natural relationship among these North American dogs. The Native American Indian Dog is considered – well, native to North America. Many think it was domesticated by Indian tribes.
Some think that Newfoundland came from the Newfoundland Islands. His origin is unclear. It is a dog that does good in water probably because he was a friend of fishermen who brought him back from the old continent.
What you will get in the mix is a surprise. Your Native American Newfie can either be a shedder like his Canadian ancestor or a low-maintenance dog like his Native ancestor. He is probably going to be sharp-minded.
The Native American Dog is a type that had to manage by itself, while the Newfoundland is a high-class working dog who had to understand the tasks his master gave him.
