Newfoundland versus Whoodle: Overview
A very important difference between the Newfoundland and the Whoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Newfoundland is a giant-sized dog while the Whoodle is a medium-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Newfoundland belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
On the other hand, the Whoodle belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
Newfoundland versus Whoodle: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Newfoundland to the Whoodle based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
