Newfypoo Temperament
The Newfypoo temperament is what draws many people to this particular doodle. Our pups have grown to be docile and happy living in the home. They play when you want to play and sleep otherwise. True cuddle bugs, who also love to sleep on the floor and under your bed. They are watchful, trustworthy and tolerant of children. They are not easily provoked to aggressiveness but would protect their loving family if needed.
They are sensitive and need kind training. Loud yelling and hitting as punishment will lead to a dog with anxiety and anxiety-led behaviors. They will bark, but not excessively. They make great door bell dogs that will alert you to people near your home. While their bark is big, deep and intimidating, they are kind and want to be your visitors best friend. Teaching them good visitor manners will be important, as they will want to hug your visitors before they even enter your door. Their size can be intimidating, which is excellent in helping ward off unwanted visitors. The combination of their larger size, deep bark and amazing personality is why we first welcomed the Newfypoo breed into our home.
Once you have one, you may find it difficult to only have one. They do well in groups of dogs and love to play. When looking to add a second to your crew, you won’t need to worry about what sex of puppy you choose for your second. Due to their laid back nature, the females get a long with each other, males get along with each other and the mix of females and males works as well.
