Frenchton versus Newfoundland: Overview
A very important difference between the Frenchton and the Newfoundland is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Frenchton is a small-sized dog while the Newfoundland is a giant-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Frenchton belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
