Newfies adapt pretty well to different weather, especially if they can swim. of course their first love will always be snow and cold weather. that's not me in the pic, that's the breeder (I am in the pic on skis!). he is actually bigger than either of my cats will ever be as he is 100% Serval, and my cats are an "F5" (5 generations away from 100%) and an F2. the F5 is the oldest, about a year and a half and about 22 pounds. the F2 is about 8 months and about 14 pounds. she has had irritable bowel so has not gotten as big as she could be, I still have my hopes. they grow until they are about 4. it is ironic the places that put such controls on them as they are extremely difficult to breed, just to get things to work out, so to speak

see above regarding the size bit. I hope they continue to get bigger, but we shall see!
