how many years newfoundland dogs grow
Newfoundlands grow at a much slower rate and mature so much later than other breeds. They are not classed as an adult until at least two years of age. They continue to grow and change up to 5 years old ! The ONLY time it should be carried out prior to this age is for medical reasons. Newfoundland may be a giant breed but they are possibly one of the most vulnerable dogs in terms of health and exercise. If you want to take your dogs on long walks whilst young, then a Newfoundland is possibly not for you.It is vitally important that you build your exercise up very gently.
