What is the average age of a rescue Newf?
Rescue Newfs average from 2 to 4 years of age. This is the age where the terrible ‘teens’ set in and many homes are not prepared. If the Newf has not had the benefit of beginning obedience and crate-training, they can and do go through the ‘terrible two’s’. This is the age also, where the Newf will complete their growth, and many times, uneducated ‘puppy’ buyers cannot believe the room that it takes to house, exercise and feed a dog that is from 90 to 130 pounds (on an average).
