I have never heard of a commercially made 'dew shield' for a newtonian.
Actually in the case of a newtonian its function is as a light shield, not a dew shield.
Most people just make their own from any convenient material. Rule of thumb is to make the length so that the tube in total extends 1.5x the primary mirror diameter past the focuser.
