If you love Newfoundland, you might also be interested in the best Newfoundland blends. Mixing these gigantic dogs with another impressive breed often results in a healthier version of this gentle giant. However, their thick coats make these hybrids prone to shedding, so they may not be the best choice if you suffer from allergies. Despite this, the Newfoundland is in high demand and ranks among the American Kennel Club’s 50 Most Popular Dog Breeds in the World!
Newfies, as they are affectionately named, were originally bred for trailers, which they were often used to pull fishing nets from the ocean. Additionally, these strong dogs would haul logs up and down the hills of Newfoundland.
One type of Newfoundland dog is called a Landseer. The name change is because the dogs only come in black and white.
Because they are so large, they have a shorter lifespan compared to other breeds. Unfortunately, this is due to common health issues such as stenosis, hip dysplasia, and elbow problems. However, by crossbreeding this giant breed, you can eliminate some of the health conditions that plague them. So without further ado, here are the best varieties from Newfoundland.
New Rottland (Newfoundland and Rottweiler mix)
Another name for this hybrid is Newfweiler, and it is a magnificent specimen. However, if you want to own one of these giant dogs, you’re going to need a huge yard. Although the New Rottlander is a Rottweiler cross, they are not aggressive. In fact, they make great family pets and will protect your little ones with their lives. However, since they can weigh up to 150 pounds, they are prone to accidentally knocking over small children, so they should always be supervised when around children.

Newfie Husky (Newfoundland and Husky mix)
If you think Newfoundlands are amazing, then Newfie Huskies are! They’re absolutely stunning, especially if they’ve inherited husky eyes. However, as beautiful as these hybrids are, maintaining their thick coat can be challenging. Owners must brush their long coat daily to avoid mats and prevent shedding.
Swiss Newfie (Newfoundland and Swiss Mountain Dog mix)
When crossing a Newfoundland and a Swiss Mountain Dog, the result is a Swiss Newfoundland. These dogs are muscular and heavy-boned. Their bodies are slightly longer than they are tall, and female Swiss Newbies are often smaller than males, who often weigh over 100 pounds. Additionally, they have broad flattened skulls and blunt muzzles, as both parent breeds share these features.
This combination makes them very easygoing companions who enjoy spending time with their humans. Plus, Swiss Newfies are very patient and forgiving, which makes them great for bringing kids. However, due to their size, these gigantic dogs can quickly push small children over in excitement, so owners must keep an eye on them when they are around children. Although these large dogs are trusting and friendly, they do require socialization as puppies to increase their confidence with strangers. If they are well trained and socialized, Swiss Novices can make excellent emotional support and therapy dogs due to their sensitive nature.
Saint Bernewfie (a mix of Newfoundland and St. Bernard)
Saint Bernefie’s are also known as Bernefie’s and they’re huge; just look at their parents! These huge dogs usually have thick long coats and are black, brown or brindle in color. Additionally, they have large heads, square muzzles, and floppy ears. Additionally, they have large, muscular bodies with deep chests. Finally, Saint Bernewfies weigh between 132 and 154 pounds and stand about 23 to 27 inches tall. Needless to say, they need a large yard!
This combo is great for kids due to their tenderness and tenderness, but for smaller children, their size can be an issue. Plus, they drool profusely, so be prepared to drool on walls, clothes, bedding, and everywhere else!

Golden Newfie (Newfoundland and Golden Retriever mix)
The Golden Newfie is an incredible mixed breed, a cross between a Newfoundland and a Golden Retriever. This easy-going mix truly loves life and makes a great family pet. Depending on the parent it goes after, they are either a large or giant breed. Therefore, owners will need a lot of space to accommodate them.
This dog is very sweet and loving towards their family but wary of strangers. Therefore, they need a firm yet gentle trainer. Also, they’re very sensitive, so novices with gold medals don’t respond well to being blamed. Also, they’re loyal and smart, so there’s no need to hire a training specialist. The owners just need to put in a little time and effort to socialize them well.
Finally, whoever buys or adopts these mixes needs to love the water, as both parent breeds are obsessed with swimming. Newfoundlands are water rescue experts, and golden retrievers just love water, so if you’re drowning, there’s a good chance your golden Newfoundland will save you.

New Shep (Newfoundland and German Shepherd mix)
Combining a Newfoundland and a German Shepherd creates a friendly and energetic combination known as the New Sheep. These dogs get very large, usually weighing around 150 pounds. They vary in color and can be blue, black, brown, white, sable, silver or cream. Because both parents have a thick, soft undercoat and a short or medium length coarse coat, new sheep will vary in color and coat length.
While energetic, this combination is also laid-back. Due to their size, they require moderate exercise, such as lots of walking. However, letting them play in the water or throwing a ball in the backyard will work just as well. With proper care, these dogs have a relatively long lifespan among the large breeds and can live to be over 10 years old.
Training new sheep can be challenging because although they are very intelligent, they can be stubborn.
Bernfie (Newfoundland and Bernese Mountain Dog mix)
The Bernfie is a cross between a Newfoundland and a Bernese Mountain Dog and is one good looking dog! They are large mixes that measure between 25 and 29 inches and weigh approximately 90 to 150 pounds. Also, they come in a variety of colors such as black, white, and brown.
Bernfies typically have brown eyes, floppy ears, long tails, and long, thick fur. Since these dogs have a lot of hair, they shed throughout the year. During the shedding season, however, their hair loss became more severe.

Aussie Newfie (Newfoundland and Australian Shepherd mix)
The Australian Shepherd and Newfoundland mix is a relatively new breed, but wildly popular. Classified as a medium to large breed, these stunning dogs weigh between 40 and 70 pounds and stand approximately 23 to 27 inches tall.
New Australians are very smart and energetic. However, they only need moderate amounts of exercise. They come in a variety of colors including black, white, red, brown and gray.
New Labralound (Newfoundland and Labrador mix)
Another name for this Newfoundland and Labrador mix is the Newfoundland. This interesting mix is a large to giant canid with a rough, medium-length coat and a long, feathered tail. Due to their size, owners need to make sure this dog is well trained. However, they have great dispositions due to the great temperament of their parent breeds. New Labralounds love to be with people, and their patient nature makes them great for families with children and other pets. Unfortunately, however, they do experience bouts of excitement and may accidentally knock the little one over.

I am broadly interested in how human activities influence the ability of wildlife to persist in the modified environments that we create.
Specifically, my research investigates how the configuration and composition of landscapes influence the movement and population dynamics of forest birds. Both natural and human-derived fragmenting of habitat can influence where birds settle, how they access the resources they need to survive and reproduce, and these factors in turn affect population demographics. Most recently, I have been studying the ability of individuals to move through and utilize forested areas which have been modified through timber harvest as they seek out resources for the breeding and postfledging phases. As well I am working in collaboration with Parks Canada scientists to examine in the influence of high density moose populations on forest bird communities in Gros Morne National Park. Many of my projects are conducted in collaboration or consultation with representatives of industry and government agencies, seeking to improve the management and sustainability of natural resource extraction.
