Newfoundland versus Yorkipoo: Overview
A very important difference between the Newfoundland and the Yorkipoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Newfoundland is a giant-sized dog while the Yorkipoo is a tiny-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 Yorkipoo belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.
