In our puppy, even at just a week old, the difference was starting to show beyond the fur. The nose looked softer liver-brown rather than jet black, and the pigment around the eyes was warmer too. As the puppy matures over 8, 12, and 16 weeks, those distinctions usually become easier to spot, especially in daylight.
- What the puppy will likely look like as it grows
Newfoundland puppies change fast. In the first 2 weeks, they mostly look like plush little loaves with tiny ears pasted to the sides of their heads. By 4 to 6 weeks, coat texture fluffs out, movement gets bouncier, and color becomes more expressive.
