I'm excited to be part of this group. My Newfie is 10 weeks old. She has been in her new home for just 9 days. I think we are doing great together so far!
I do have a couple questions. Can somebody tell me what the concern is about the percentage of protein in her food? Abbi Dhu was 35# at her vet visit last week and 19" at the shoulder yesterday. Does that seem unusually large, even for a Newfie?
Sorry if these questions belong in a different thread. I can re-post them if I need to. Is there a puppy discussion group? <LOL> Nice to "meet" you all.

She is absolutely adorable!! I love that sweet face!
Very mature for only 10 weeks. Her face looks alot like my 5 month old Sophie and much more mature than my 11 week old Ty.
I would say 35 pounds is large for a 10 week old female, but there are alot more knowledgeable people on here than me that can give you better info on that. My 11 week old boy is 20 pounds. Sophie when she was 11 weeks old was also 20 pounds and Lola at 11 weeks was approx 18 pounds.

Welcome to the group and PLEASE share more photos!

She's adorable! Welcome.
I wouldn't worry about her weight as long as she is not fat. She may just be planning to be a large and in charge type girl!
You don't want your pup to be skinny...puppies need some body fat cause they grow so quickly and burn so much energy...But she shouldn't be roly poly at this age either.
It's kind of hard to tell from a sitting photo, but she looks okay as far as I can tell....

Our Marcus was 38" lbs at 11 weeks...and he is a very big boy now! What did your breeder recommend for her food? Can you feel her ribs? You don't want to be be feeding her puppy food.
Maybe she is just a big girl...keep a check on her weight...weekly visits to the vet...should be no charge are a great way to check and get her to not fear the vet's office.

feed her adult food as it helps slow their growth rate down a little and helps prevent problems later.
