Newfoundlands are among the largest dogs in the world. They're admired by many for their kind nature, amazing size, and very thick coat.
An 8 week old Newfoundland puppy should weigh around 15-20 pounds (7-9 kg) with males being heavier than females.
Female Newfoundlands are around 30 pounds (14 kg) heavier and 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) taller. Males can weigh 30-50 (14-23 kg) pounds more and be 3-5 inches (8-13 cm) taller than Bernese males.
Newfoundland dogs are classified as giant breed dogs. Their massive build is even more noticeable when put next to a Bernese Mountain Dog, another breed classified as a large dog.
