How's this for comparisons. We have 2 newfs, loki our first was more or less potty trained after his 1st week home, no exageration, made only 1 more mistake to this day, and he's 2.5 yrs old. Smartest dog in his training class, remembers commands I haven't used in 18 months he's quiet, got over the mouthing stage early on, loves baths, he's small for a newf 30 " at the shoulder but only 95 lbs, and is completely trust worthy left alone. .... Then there's Odin our 1 yr old puppy, took months to be house broken, chews on everything can't remember a command to save his life, barks, hates baths, still mouths on occasion, is 31" at the shoulder and 150 lbs. The 2 are mirror opposites in ever category you can think of, but wouldn't trade either one for anything. Nothing will crack you up more than watching these 2 sumo wrestle in the living room, or swap every toy or treat you give them, because no matter if the toys/treats are identical, "his" is always better.
