8. Newfoundland (Average Puppy Price: $1,500 – $2,000)
Newfoundland dogs have many names: Newfie, Blackbear, and the Gentle Giant. Their huge postures make them look like bears. Yet, they are very sweet and gentle, making them super cuddly pets.
They are named after the place of their origin, Newfoundland, Canada. Back in the 1600s, it is believed that Newfoundland descended from a mix of indigenous breeds with either Viking dogs or the mastiffs of Portuguese fishermen.
Newfoundland dogs have unique characters which combine both sweetness and courage. They are super friendly with other people and animals. But they can be so protective as well.
Thus, these dogs are among the few that can be both cuddling buddies and guardian watchdogs. It should come as no surprise that the puppies cost around $1,500 to $2,000.
