Chi-Spaniels are low shedding dogs, requiring minimal coat care.

Newfoundlands shed a lot of hair each year, so frequent brushing is essential for reducing shedding and maintaining coat health.

Chi-Spaniels aren't great guard dogs; they tend to just watch without taking action.

Choose a Newfoundland if you want a top-notch watchdog. This breed takes guarding seriously, and may not require much training, though obedience or guard dog training can improve their skills.
