10 week old english bulldog puppies

I am familiar with common and uncommon health problems they may face so when my boyfriend and I decided we were ready to adopt our own english puppy finding a reputable breeder that prioritizes health was most important to us. Erica and Mitch of Bruiser Bulldogs are just that. They are experienced, ethical and quality breeders. I was referred to them by my friend that I trust after I saw their gorgeous healthy puppy. Our Puppy Primrose is the light of our lives! Bruisers was there to assist us every step of the way. We would highly recommend Bruisers Bulldogs to anyone looking for their own happy, healthy pup! Leah H. We were lucky to have come across Bruiser Bulldogs and even more so the fact that they were near our family and hometown made it even better. We have had Clementine Callie for four months now, and she is a wonderful dog. Her personality is amazing, and I think part of it is breeding and the other part is Erika and her family lovingly raising the puppies in their home with plenty of attention and snuggles. I also was impressed that, rather than send the puppies out right at 8 weeks, Erika kept ours for a few extra weeks because she was tiny and not read to leave her mom yet. It's that care that differentiates Bruisers from other breeders. Emily R. Erica was easy to work with thru the entire process from application to adopting and now beyond as we host our new family member, Chief. Her on-call support and willingness to provide open, honest advice to all of our questions and concerns continues to be appreciated. We would highly recommend Bruiser Bulldogs to anyone looking for an English Bulldog to join their family. Elizabeth W. Lady L. They are experienced, responsive and knowledgeable about all things bulldog related. They went above and beyond for us and are truly dedicated to all of their pups!

We were at the top of the waiting list for months and Erica reached out every litter to see if we were finally ready for a bulldog. When we were, she was very easy to work with. Her knowledge on bulldogs is outstanding. We had many questions on the process and she always knew what was best for the puppy. We've had Penny formerly Blair for two months and she is very healthy, energetic, playful, and sweet. She is great with other people and dogs. We are so happy with our pup. When we are ready for bulldog 2, we will only consider Bruiser Bulldogs. Mitch C. Bowser was born April and is an integral part of our family. When we were first exploring English Bulldog breeders our biggest concern was the overall health of the dogs. We decided to work with Erica at Bruiser Bulldogs because we liked their focus on improving the breeds breathing abilities and the fact that the puppies are raised within her family environment before coming home with their new owners. Bowser also breaths clearly and our vet was impressed with his overall health from the moment we brought him home. All that said we know English Bulldogs have a predisposition to many health issues and that his current health can not predict the future. With that In mind its important to start with a breeder that open to answer any of your questions as Erica has ours, and that strongly believes in improving the breeds overall health profile. Adam B. My sister ended up finding Bruiser Bulldogs and we knew right away that they were the breeder for us. In September we ended up driving 9 hours to pick up two Bruiser bulldog puppies- one for my husband and I and one for my mom. Jackson and Penelope have been nothing but a joy. They are both very athletic and healthy. They are also HUGE snugglers and always want to be with you. It is an absolute pleasure having these two bullies in our lives! Erica is very knowledgeable about the breed. She is very hands on throughout the process and is just overall a kind and honest person to work with. With all that being said I cannot recommend Bruiser Bulldogs enough! Collyn C. One of the reasons we chose Bruiser Bulldogs was due to the claims about breeding for health. During our first visit at our vet's office, he told us that our pup was one of the healthiest English bulldogs he had ever seen. He is healthy, happy and social. Would recommend to anyone. Christina S. We seen our dog on their website and sent them an Email. Mitch called us and personally walked us through the process and made sure we had the right dog for our family.

Our French Bulldog puppies have been bringing people joy all over the pacific northwest. Clarkston, Washington is located on the eastern side of Washington State. If you have any questions about our French Bulldog puppies, please do not hesitate to contact us. Are French Bulldogs good pets? Despite his glum expression, the French Bulldog is comical, entertaining, and dependably amiable. As comfortable in an apartment as he is on a farm, he is more lively than you might suspect from his chunky appearance. French Bulldog puppies are especially frisky, and ball chasing is one of their passions. Adults are more dignified and can be champion couch potatoes, but also love to clown around and go for walks in cool weather. Many Frenchies are friendly with everyone, while others are politely reserved. French Bulldogs will bark to announce visitors, but are otherwise quiet dogs. Usually peaceful with other pets though some French Bulldogs will hunt small rodents , males may bicker with other males. The French Bulldog is quite stubborn and can be challenging to train, yet also surprisingly sensitive, remembers what he learns, and responds well to early, patient, persistent training that utilizes food motivation. Snorting, snuffling, and flatulence go with the territory of short-faced breeds. Swimming pool owners must exercise caution: Because of his squat build and heavy head, most Frenchies cannot swim and will drown if they fall into a pool. When my kids wanted a Frenchie to add to our family, they were the first breeders I turned to.

They would go around with their masters to get their affection. The bassetoodles are curious dogs and would follow anything that comes their way. They would often get very nosey, enjoying sniffing your boxes, mail, purses, bags, dirty clothes, its bed or yours, and so on. Though they are affectionate, happy, and friendly in nature, they, at times, might display stubborn behavior. Being mischievous, their fondness might reach to such a level that they might, at times, jump onto people. They also love kids, and would play with them and other pets in the family. These silly animals would be ideal for anyone who is in of a faithful companion. However, care must also be taken that your kids to not get over-enthusiastic and jump or sit on their backs. This might prove to be dangerous since they are dogs with a long back. The bassetoodle also love to go out, get groomed or ride a car. Like their basset hound parent, they would howl more than bark. They would use their voices to let their family members aware of strangers or intruders, or just anything suspicious. They would also get noisy, if left alone for long hours, or are constantly provoked. They have a tendency to wander off if they find a scent, and if the owners are not keeping an eye on this. Care Exercise The playful bassetoodles love to play. Take them to the dog park every day, or play with your pet inside a safe, well-fenced yard since they can roam or follow scents. Though, regular exercise is also necessary. They love long walks. Take them out for daily walks with you, or for a little jogging. Also, make sure, you allow your dog to be without a leash for sometime every day, since they do not always prefer to be in a leash. Grooming These dogs are average to heavy shedders, and you need to groom them frequently. Brushing them at least 2 to 3 times a week is recommended. You can even bathe them once every two weeks to ensure cleanliness, as also to retain the sheen of its coat. A good brushing session would also resist the hair from matting. Trim them occasionally, including the regions around the anus and the eyes. Many owners love to keep the longer eyebrows and whiskers of their bassetoodle. Health Problems No breed specific health problems are reported, except for genetic and general dog diseases. Training These are quite intelligent dogs and are ever ready to please their masters, and hence, it is quite easy to train. Because it is natural for the bassetoodle to show obstinate behavior, you must train them with leadership. They should be dealt with firm authority and may require a firm, authoritative training style. This breed does well with agility, hunting, and obedience training. Begin training from the time you adopt your puppy from the breeders, or from a shelter or some rescue. Give them proper training about housebreaking, obedience, crate, etc. But make sure you choose the right quality of food, and those that abide by the nutrition level that they need. Bassetdoodle Description The Bassetoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Basset Hound and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. At almost 2 years old he weighs a little under 27 pounds 12 kg and is 14 inches 35 cm at the shoulder. Personality: very playful, dog and people friendly, higher energy level than a Basset, but not as hyper as most Toy Poodles. His wire coat sheds seasonally and needs to be stripped twice a year. It's a female; her father is a brown Basset short fur and her mother is a white Poodle, a little bigger than a toy Poodle. She is really fat; one reason is because her internal organs are too big for her body, but she is really cute. She weighs 23 lbs. She is mellow and peaceful inside the house and likes nothing more than to curl up beside you. When outside she is thrilled to see anyone! She loves kids, licks the cat's face clean every morning, and enjoys startling, but not chasing, our two birds. She wags her tail like crazy when she sees someone she knows! Her hair and toenails grow quickly and require regular grooming. I love those large windblown ears and the soft white Poodle hair with lemon and white Bassett markings! Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Click here for more information on this characteristic Bassetoodle Overview The Bassetoodle is a typically laid-back and easygoing pup that enjoys burning off energy before relaxing with their dog parents. While the Basset Hound is often associated with laziness, the Poodle contributes excitement and an inquisitive nature to this mix. Training the Bassetoodle can present some challenges. While both parent breeds are intelligent and have been used as working dogs, Basset Hounds are known for their stubbornness. Poodles, on the other hand, are highly trainable but can also display independent tendencies. Consistency and a firm approach to discourage negative behaviors are crucial when training this breed. Short daily training sessions lasting minutes are recommended to maintain their attention and facilitate progress. Enrolling in puppy classes or general obedience training with a professional can also be beneficial. The Bassetoodle may not be the best fit for novice dog parents, as prior experience with hounds and their stubborn nature is preferable. They can be strong-willed and require mental and physical stimulation. Without proper stimulation, they can become bored and frustrated, despite the love they receive. Separation anxiety is also a possibility in this breed. Dog parents who are frequently home or have the ability to bring their pups to work are well-suited for this breed, although it is not a strict requirement. Daily walks of at least 35 minutes are recommended for the Bassetoodle. Although they have lower exercise requirements due to their relaxed Basset Hound heritage, they still benefit from mental stimulation. Training sessions, scentwork activities, and other forms of enrichment can provide the mental engagement they need. It is important to note that Bassetoodles can exhibit behaviors that humans find frustrating, such as digging and excessive barking when they are understimulated or bored. Bassetoodle Highlights Friendly and affectionate: Bassetoodles are known for their loving and gentle personalities. They are very good with children and other pets, and they make great family dogs. Intelligent and easy to train: Bassetoodles are relatively intelligent dogs and are easy to train with positive reinforcement. They are eager to please their owners and love to learn new things. Low-maintenance: Bassetoodles are relatively low-maintenance dogs, but they do require some regular exercise and grooming. They should be brushed at least once a week to prevent mats and tangles. They may also need to be trimmed or clipped every few months, depending on the length of their coat. Versatile: Bassetoodles can adapt to a variety of living situations, including apartments and houses. They are also good with a variety of activities, such as hiking, swimming, and playing fetch. Health: Bassetoodles are generally healthy dogs, but they can be prone to some health problems, such as hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and eye problems. It is important to have them regularly checked by a veterinarian. However, both parent breeds have rich backgrounds and are highly regarded. Initially prized by French aristocrats, Basset Hounds later became popular among commoners after the French Revolution. These hunting dogs were valued by those who needed companions they could follow on foot, as they lacked access to horses. Basset Hounds made their way to Britain in the midth century. Millais started his own breeding program and collaborated with Lord Onslow and George Krehl on their respective programs. As for the Poodle, it is one of the oldest breeds specifically developed for waterfowl hunting. While its origins trace back to Germany, the Poodle became its own distinct breed in France. French hunters utilized the Standard Poodle primarily for duck hunting and the Miniature Poodle, a mid-sized variant, for truffle hunting in the woods. However, by the mids, the Poodle had become the most popular breed in the country, maintaining this position for over two decades. Bassetoodle Size The Bassetoodle is a substantial mixed breed, characterized by its stout legs that give the impression of a smaller size despite its weight. As a crossbreed, the Bassetoodle does not have a standardized breed standard. Therefore, their coat colors can vary, drawing from the palette of both parent breeds. However, it is common to find Bassetoodles with white coats adorned with brown and black markings. Their coat texture often leans towards the curly and wavy patterns inherited from the Poodle parent. Bassetoodle Personality The Bassetoodle is known to be generally good-natured and affectionate towards familiar individuals, but they can display a standoffish demeanor towards strangers. It is crucial to prioritize socialization from a young age for every dog, regardless of their inherent temperament. Proper socialization helps prevent reactivity towards people or other dogs, which can limit their experiences in life, such as visiting dog-friendly establishments or enjoying playtime at the dog park. Consistent and positive reinforcement training during their early years is key to enhancing their overall quality of life, as well as your own. It is important to establish firm and consistent training practices, and if behavioral issues arise, seeking the assistance of a professional trainer can be beneficial. Bassetoodle Health The Bassetoodle, like many dog breeds, may be prone to certain health conditions that require attention and care. It is important to be aware of these potential issues to ensure the well-being of your Bassetoodle. Here are some health concerns that can affect this breed: Hip Dysplasia : Bassetoodles may be susceptible to hip dysplasia, a condition characterized by abnormal development of the hip joints. It can lead to discomfort, pain, and mobility issues. Obesity : Bassetoodles have a tendency to gain weight, so it is important to provide them with a balanced diet and regular exercise to prevent obesity. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial to avoid putting extra strain on their joints and overall health. Bloat : Bassetoodles are also at risk for bloat, a serious condition where the stomach fills with gas and can twist on itself. Prompt veterinary attention is necessary if bloat is suspected. Panosteitis : This condition involves inflammation of the long bones, commonly seen in young dogs. It can cause lameness and discomfort but usually resolves with proper care and management. Glaucoma : Bassetoodles may have a higher predisposition to glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye. Regular eye examinations and early detection are important to prevent vision loss. Allergies : Like many dogs, Bassetoodles can develop allergies, which can manifest as skin irritations, itching, or gastrointestinal issues. Identifying and managing allergens can help alleviate these symptoms. Intervertebral Disc Disease : Bassetoodles may be prone to intervertebral disc disease IVDD , a condition that affects the spinal discs. It can lead to pain, nerve compression, and even paralysis if left untreated. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are crucial for the well-being of affected dogs. Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for managing and minimizing the risk of these health issues. Additionally, staying attentive to any signs of discomfort or unusual behaviors and seeking veterinary care when necessary will contribute to the overall health and happiness of your Bassetoodle. Bassetoodle Care The Bassetoodle, like most breeds, thrives on daily exercise to maintain their well-being. While they have a playful nature, a significant portion of their stimulation can come from mental activities, alongside regular physical exercise. Ideally, this breed should engage in at least a minute walk each day. In addition to walks, Bassetoodles enjoy both indoor and outdoor playtime, such as playing fetch or engaging in a game of tug-of-war. While a backyard is not a requirement, it can be beneficial for this breed to have a space where they can release any excess energy. It is worth considering that Bassetoodles may not be the most suitable choice for apartment living. Although they are easygoing and can enjoy themselves in smaller spaces, their characteristic loud howl may become bothersome to other tenants Bassetoodle Feeding To ensure optimal health, the Bassetoodle should be provided with a diet appropriate for a small breed with medium energy levels. They are often motivated by challenging puzzle toys as well. When working on trick-training or rewarding good behavior, consider using low-calorie treats like sweet potatoes. As each dog has unique dietary requirements, it is advisable to consult your veterinarian to determine the best food options for your Bassetoodle. Their expertise will help ensure that your pup receives a balanced and appropriate diet for their specific needs. Regular brushing sessions, typically two to three times a week, are recommended to remove debris and prevent matting. Pay special attention to their long ears, as they can impede proper air circulation and increase the risk of ear infections. Bathing should be done as needed, usually no more than once a month, to keep the coat clean and fresh. For more intricate grooming tasks like clipping or complex coat maintenance, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a professional groomer who is experienced with this breed. Keeping their nails at an appropriate length is essential for their comfort and overall well-being. This breed is known for being affectionate and well-behaved around children , making them great family pets. While proper introductions are necessary, they can also form strong bonds with other dogs in the family. However, due to their hunting background, they may not be suitable for households with small animals like hamsters. On the other hand, Bassetoodles can generally coexist well with cats. While they may initially be cautious with strangers, this breed tends to have an easygoing nature and is generally friendly with almost everyone. Bassetoodle Rescue Groups As a designer breed, dedicated rescue groups specifically for the Bassetoodle may be limited. However, there are numerous deserving dogs in shelters waiting for their forever homes. Remember, adopting a rescue pup is a wonderful choice. Bassetoodle Breed Organizations Finding a reputable dog breeder is one of the most important decisions you will make when bringing a new dog into your life. Reputable breeders are committed to breeding healthy, well-socialized puppies that will make great companions. They will screen their breeding stock for health problems, socialize their puppies from a young age, and provide you with lifetime support. On the other hand, backyard breeders are more interested in making a profit than in producing healthy, well-adjusted dogs. They may not screen their breeding stock for health problems, and they may not socialize their puppies properly. As a result, puppies from backyard breeders are more likely to have health problems and behavioral issues. But before you make that life-changing decision, it makes sense to do your research. Bassetoodles can be stubborn, which means that first-time dog owners can find them a bit of a challenge in terms of training. Choosing to work with a professional dog trainer is the best way of finding out the methods that will suit these dogs the best. If you or your neighbors are sensitive to noise, you should know that these dogs love to howl! While they might not bark as much as some other breeds, they are capable of making quite a racket. They also love spending time with their humans — so much so, that they can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. Bassetoodles are registered with several breed registries. The Bassetoodle will follow its nose anywhere. This hybrid breed has inherited the superior tracking ability of its Basset Hound parent. In terms of scenting capabilities, the Basset Hound is the second most capable breed at sniffing out and following a scent. Their Bassetoodle progeny are also keen trackers as a result! While tracking a scent, the Bassetoodle will let out a loud bark. A throwback to their Basset Hound parent, this bark is designed to let handlers locate their dogs. The Bassetoodle combines the best of both parent breeds. Your pup may look more like their Poodle parent but have the character of a Basset Hound or the other way around! The best way to be sure this is the right breed for you is to familiarize yourself with the temperament, personality, and appearance of both parent breeds. They will be quietly loyal rather than constantly seeking affection. This is especially evident when they find an irresistible new scent trail to follow. They will simply switch off from everything else, put their nose to the ground, and track! With pack dog parents on the Basset Hound side of the family, these dogs want to be around people and other dogs. A Bassetoodle left alone for a long amount of time during the day will soon start to suffer from separation anxiety. This can lead to undesirable behaviors, including howling, barking, and chewing or clawing your furniture. Bassetoodles are intelligent and excellent problem solvers. Are These Dogs Good for Families? The smaller size and short legs of this breed make them great around kids or elderly family members. Make sure each animal has a space of their own to retreat to if they feel the need. If you click and purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Learn More The Bassetoodle is another up and coming Poodle mix that we expect to become more popular in the upcoming years. In this guide, we learn everything about the Bassetoodle, including their appearance, activity levels, temperament, health, grooming, and much more. Both Basset Hounds and Poodles are among the most well-known dog breeds out there. The Basset Hound is instantly recognized by its long body and short, stubby legs. By combining these two purebred dogs, it results in an easygoing and loving Doodle with a great personality. From the Basset Hound parent, Bassetoodles inherit their friendly and gentle demeanor, whereas the Poodle heritage contributes to their high levels of intelligence and, of course, the hypoallergenic coat. In terms of the Bassetoodle size, they can be created by using either Standard, Miniature, or Toy Poodles. However, the most popular choice for this Doodle is the Miniature Poodle. However, as Doodle breeds keep on trending, we expect to see more of the Bassetoodle in the near future. Bassetoodle Physical Appearance Color Bassetoodle puppies can inherit a variety of coat colors that originate from their purebred Basset Hound and Poodle parents. Most commonly, Bassetoodles come in brown, tan, golden, black, white, cream, red, and blue coats. Additionally, they may also inherit beautiful patterned coats, such as the gorgeous bi-color and tri-color coats, the latter being one of the most recognizable Basset Hound coat colors. Some puppies may take more after the Basset Hound parent, whereas others resemble more of the Poodle. And, some puppies will inherit their traits from both sides of the lineage. It all boils down to their genetics. Similarly, the Bassetoodle can come in three different coat types. On the other hand, some Bassetoodles inherit the straight Basset Hound coat that tends to shed, and others get a wavy combination coat inspired by both of the purebred parents. For people who struggle with dog allergies, a curly-coated Bassetoodle would be the safest choice. However, the Poodle genes usually work their magic even in straight coat Bassetoodles. Although straight-coated Bassetoodles are not an ideal choice for allergies, they still shed much less compared to the purebred Basset Hound parent. So, the best way to predict the size of a Bassetoodle puppy is by looking at its parents. Surprisingly enough, the Basset Hound is a medium to large-sized breed with an average weight of 40 to 65 pounds. But thanks to their short legs, these pups only grow up to 15 inches tall. Based on weight, the Standard Poodle would be the perfect size to pair the Basset Hound with. Miniature Poodles weigh between 10 and 20 pounds with an average height of 10 to 15 inches measured from the shoulder. In contrast, Standard Poodles weigh around 38 to 70 pounds with an average height of 24 to 27 inches. Quite tall compared to the Basset Hound! So, how big will a Bassetoodle get? Although the Bassetoodle is not as established as some other Doodle breeds, we can make some pretty accurate guesstimates of their height and weight. When the Miniature Poodle is used in the mix, Bassetoodles usually weigh between 20 and 30 pounds, and they stand between 12 and 16 inches tall at the shoulder. However, if either Toy or Standard Poodles are used to create Bassetoodles, we can expect there to be much more variation in terms of size. Just like the Basset Hound parent, Bassetoodles tend to come with shorter legs and longer bodies. But, thanks to the Poodle genes in the mix, it will be slightly more balanced out compared to the purebred Basset Hound. To create hybrid breeds like the Basset-Poodle mix, breeders can use either a purebred Basset Hound and Poodle parent, or produce later generations, such as the first-generation backcross Bassetoodle, or even second-generation Doodle. Sounds confusing, right?

Unfortunately, there are some who choose to produce puppies purely out of greed rather than enjoyment. There is no way a breeder can give the same love and attention to all of their puppies if they are having multiple litters at once, and clearly have no interest into where their puppies end up. Hopefully this has given you a little more insight into who we are. Please continue reading more about us and what we offer on our info section.

Dawson is a sweet, well behaved beautiful male English cream golden retriever. Dawson is a certified therapy dog. Dawson also has a chic number showing all health clearances through OFA. Currently they are 20 weeks old. They have been spayed, microchipped and are up to date on vaccines. The 4 of them, 1 boy and 3 girls are in a home with all sorts of animals from small animals to large livestock and have adapted very well to all animals and circumstances that they have been exposed to. Because they did not go out of the kennel for so long and did not have much exposure to the outside world. They take a little time to work up the confidence to experience a new situation or transition like going from one room to another, or in and out of the kennel, or meeting new people but no matter how insecure they are, they brave their fears and tackle any challenge with a very cautious but willing, happy spirit and a wagging tail. They are extremely food motivated and willingly work through their fears so we have high hopes for them!! Aster —Aster would do best in a home with someone home most of the time and with a dog who is more submissive and doesn't mind playing a lot. Aster a very fun and happy boy. You can typically find him hanging out with the 13 yr. He has a ton of energy and is the sweetest and most loving fella. However, even with all that energy, after a good amount of physical and mental stimulation he loves his cuddles quite a bit and will snuggle up and relax with you too. Aster is still learning his home manners and has a tendency to tinkle when over excited, but he is doing better each day! Aster is doing great with kennel training and leash walking and still working on house manners. Aster is a more dominant dog in a group and likes to challenge others to play, even after they tell him no, but he will take corrections from larger dogs quite well. I believe Aster would do best in a home with someone home most of the time and with a dog who is more submissive and doesn't mind playing a lot. He is great with cats, chickens, horses, rabbits and guinea pigs. Want to hike a 14er? He is your man, and once you get to the top, he will say "this way to the next one!

They are a loving and sensitive breed. One of the most common questions asked by new French Bulldog owners is how much food they require, and how often should they be fed. French Bulldogs typically will eat as much food as you give them. The amount of food required depends on their age, weight, and activity level. Source Feeding French Bulldog puppies When puppies are born they get all of their nutritional needs by drinking milk produced by their mothers. Breeders typically start to wean the puppies off their mother's milk by weeks and by six weeks they are eating kibble 1. When your puppy is home with you at 8 weeks old they will typically require 1. I recommend splitting this up between meals over the day. When our puppy was at a very young age we would mix the kibble with a little bit of water to soften the food for them. As your puppy is at a stage of rapid growth over the following year we recommend feeding your dog the best nutritional food you can afford. Active Frenchbuilldogs based on a weight of 15kg 33lb requires caloiuries a day. This can be split over several meals and would be approximately 3cups of kibble. How much should I feed my elderly French Bulldog? As your French Bulldog ages and activity levels decrease they will require less food. Typically they will require calories per g 1lb of body weight. However, if your dog is showing they are still hungry and underweight feed them. How much should I feed my underweight Frenchie? Increase the amount of food you are feeding your dog up to between calouries per g 1lb of body weight until they are at their ideal weight. What can you feed your dog? Kibble Dry food is very accessible and can be purchased at most supermarkets. Nutritional values provided by kibble differ by product sold. We recommend doing some research to provide good quality kibble to your dog. Some of the benefits listed for kibble are: Increased dental health Reduced risk of bacteria Raw diet Raw food can be homemade, and or store-bought. Meticulous care and planning need to be done to ensure your dog does not get sick. Some studies have found many benefits of raw diets: Healthier coat and fur Increased longevity Fresh diet Cooking for your dog at home allows you to provide nutritionally valuable ingredients of your own choice. The downside is that it does take up time and requires planning to make. If you decide to feed your dog fresh food we highly recommend that you consult an animal nutritionist. Some of the benefits of feeding your dog fresh food are below. Avoids fillers Allows a variety of food Food quality To learn more about your dogs microbiomme and gut health visit our blog post here. If you are after dog shirts, or cooling shirts for your French Bulldog visit our shop here. How much your French Bulldog should eat depends on their size when they are at a healthy weight and how energetic they are. That means that you won't feed your French Bulldog as much as you would feed more energetic small dogs of the same healthy weight, such as a Jack Russell Terrier. Of course, if you have an unusually energetic French Bulldog, you may need to feed them more. However, a number of factors go into this formula: Fixed vs. An intact French Bulldog requires slightly more calories than one that is fixed. Underweight vs. An underweight French Bulldog needs more than a healthy French Bulldog, whereas an overweight Frenchie needs less food. Activity level. Very active Frenchies need more calories every day than those that tend to be couch potatoes. French bulldog puppies need more calories than older dogs. A puppy that is under four months needs considerably more, while a puppy that is four months to an adult needs slightly more. How many cups of food should I feed my French Bulldog? Just how many cups of food your French Bulldog actually needs depends on how many calories are in the food. Because French Bulldogs have a fairly low body weight and low energy level, it is best to choose a food without many calories per cup. Lower than calories per cup is a good idea. This way, your 22 pound French Bulldog will be able to eat at least a cup of food a day. Any less than that, and your French Bulldog may still feel hungry even when they have had as many calories per pound as they are supposed to. How to stretch out French Bulldog feeding? Most French Bulldogs have a seemingly natural hunger that is almost insatiable. Here are a few tips to help keep your Frenchie satisfied: Divide meals up. Your French Bulldog is much more likely to be satisfied if they get multiple meals a day. About half a cup twice a day will be a more satisfying eating routine than one cup in the morning or evening. Three meals is even better for most French Bulldogs. Include healthy treats. A few treats can really impact your dog's overall calorie consumption if you are using high-calorie commercially available treats. However, by giving your French Bulldog green beans and other low-calorie vegetables, you can fill their bellies without exceeding their calorie limitations. Provide food for training treats. Choose dry dog food. Dry dog food will seem to go much further than raw food or wet food. Give your French Bulldog a healthy amount of food It can be very tempting to give your French Bulldog as much food as they want. After all, this breed is a master of the mournful puppy eyes. However, feeding your dog too much can result in serious consequences for their health, so it is very important to stick to the rules and only give your French Bulldog as much as they should have. Remember that healthy and filling treats like green beans are a great way to round out their diet. Coral Dawn My experience as the liaison of integrative medicine, neurology, and zoo medicine at UF Small Animal Hospital gave me valuable insight into the challenges faced by pet owners with animals who have medical conditions. My time there also gave me the opportunity to care for a disabled dog and write a book about the experience. As manager of a dog daycare, I learned about how dogs play and interact, warning signs for aggression, and how to rehabilitate dog-reactive dogs. During my time there I was under the mentorship of two groomers, from whom I learned grooming essentials. I currently work with high-risk shelter dogs and manage a blog to help other volunteers and foster families. I have two dogs of my own, a Maltese and a Standard Poodle. Three to four times a day 4 — 5 months 6 months and above Two times a day Pregnant or breastfeeding French Bulldogs may eat up to three times a day within eight hours. Meanwhile, puppies require more frequent feedings than adult dogs due to their rapid metabolism. In general, a French Bulldog puppy should be fed three times daily between two and six months. Once the French Bulldog puppy reaches the age of six months, the feeding frequency can be reduced to two meals each day. As developing puppies, your Frenchie requires a consistent daily feeding plan. The feeding plan should incorporate at least three measured meals per day. Its dinner schedule is vital, as it allows ample time to digest the food and go pee or potty before bedtime. Between 14 and 18 weeks, you can begin accustoming your French Bulldog puppy to two meals each day. If your veterinarian advises you to keep your French Bulldog on a three-meals-a-day diet, this must be properly followed. Senior dogs can be fed on the same schedule when given three meals a day. Since elderly dogs do not move as much, they may develop too much weight. Consequently, you should ensure that the food contains fewer calories, more fiber, and an appropriate balance of fat and protein. Your veterinarian should have a recommended amount of treats you should give your dog. Again, it will vary according to its weight and level of activity. If you must frequently use treats for training, use tiny bits or give them a licking mat. Best Dog Foods for French Bulldog A feeding guide for Frenchie dog lovers would be incomplete without the information on the best dog food for their furry companion. There are numerous food options available for French Bulldogs. The best pet food varies from one Frenchie to another. Perhaps your French Bulldog is a fussy eater or suffers from food allergies. It is feasible to provide a balanced diet for your French Bulldogs if you use the best store-bought or homemade dog food that contains all the nutrition needed by your dog and as prescribed by your veterinarian. The list below shows the best dog food options you can provide your French Bulldog: Dry Food: Dry dog food is commercially available kibble. This can be an excellent alternative for French Bulldogs with sensitive stomachs. French Bulldog puppies require high-quality dry food that is high in animal protein to aid in growth and muscular development. Wet Food: Wet food is contained in a can; it is primarily composed of water and is considered highly mushy food. However, wet food expires more quickly than dry food, making it the least practical alternative. Home-Cooked Diet: A home-cooked, protein-rich diet like a chicken meal is excellent for French Bulldogs. Unlike ordinary kibble, it contains no additives or preservatives. It supports healthy digestion and may help avoid various problems related to a bad diet, including obesity, dry skin and coat, pancreatitis, diabetes, and a low immune system. French Bulldogs are prone to developing a variety of joint and back issues. Along with other joint problems, they may develop luxating patella or hip dysplasia. Both glucosamine and chondroitin are critical components of a high-quality French Bulldog dog diet. These essential vitamins assist your French in developing the connective tissue necessary for healthy joints and spine support. Omega-3 fatty acids can assist your Frenchie to keep muscle mass and strength by reducing inflammation and soreness. Also, this can promote healthy skin by preventing itchy and flaky skin. Whether wet and dry food, raw food, or a homemade diet, each dog food offers several benefits and drawbacks. Consult a veterinarian before deciding to know exactly what food option suits your Frenchie. Any French Bulldog owner will attest that vomiting is far more common in this breed than in other dogs. While it cannot be totally prevented, you should know what human foods are toxic to French Bulldogs. Some of the foods to avoid are not only bad for Frenchie; many of them can be fatal. They may result in poisoning and, in the worst-case scenario, death. This section enumerates some of the most dangerous foods for French Bulldogs. I will discuss why these foods are poisonous and when you should contact a veterinarian. The first and most prevalent is chocolate. It contains a toxin called theobromine , which can cause a variety of health problems when consumed in large amounts. This can cause irregular heartbeats, seizures, and sudden death. Garlic and onions should also never be included in the diet of your Frenchie puppy or adult dog. Even a trace of these vegetables can result in anemia and red blood cell failure in your pup. Poisoning symptoms include lethargy, fatigue, vomiting, rapid breathing, and an increased heart rate. However, remember that you may not immediately notice poisoning symptoms because the toxic consequences may take a few days to manifest. Additionally, grapes are one of the most toxic foods for your Frenchie. A dog that has consumed grapes may exhibit stomach bloating and diarrhea. They need to be taken to a veterinarian immediately. In severe cases, gastric lavage is the best course of action. Candy, artificial sweeteners, corn on the cob, roasted bones, avocado, raisins, almonds, cherry, peach, plum, coconut oil, mustard seeds, alcohol, coffee, blue cheese, and tomatoes are also regarded to be unsafe for French Bulldogs. Furthermore, there are certain foods that you should avoid giving your Pitbull owing to the negative side effects they may cause. While they are not considered dangerous, they can cause nausea, diarrhea, and weight gain. Numerous dogs wind up at veterinarian clinics due to improper food intake. While prevention is always the best course of action, it is critical to understand emergency care and medication expenses. Read our article on French Bulldog costs to learn more about the medical expenditures associated with a French Bulldog. These adjustments should ideally take place over 5 to 7 days. Consult a veterinarian in this scenario, especially if you intend to switch to a raw or homemade diet. Feeding an Overweight French Bulldog French Bulldogs can quickly gain weight, resulting in various health problems. Thus, dog owners need to notice when their Frenchie gets overweight to assist the dog in maintaining a healthy weight and living a healthy life. Average adult French Bulldogs should have a body weight between 19 and 29 pounds for males, while 18 to 28 pounds for females. The most common indications that your Frenchie is overweight include lack of muscle definition and difficulty breathing during brief exercises. In terms of visual indicators, a Frenchie within their healthy weight will have a thin layer of fat covering their ribs. Meanwhile, those with excess fat have noticeable deposits in the chest and stomach area. Also, you should be able to see and feel their spine as they bend and curl into a sleeping position. Furthermore, Frenchies have an hourglass form, with a visible waistline that is smaller than their chest when they are not overweight. Regardless of these symptoms, it is always advisable to seek confirmation from a professional veterinarian. Feeding an obese Frenchie means maintaining a consistent food plan throughout the day to aid in weight loss. Additionally, this stops your dog from eating more than it requires. Apart from planned feeding times, serving the correct meal proportions is essential. If your Frenchie is overweight, owners should focus on how much food is offered to them. Reducing their daily kibble intake by half a cup can help them significantly reduce weight. Moreover, you should offer them foods with fewer calories, more fiber, and more protein. As a result, your Frenchie will burn more calories and lose weight more quickly. It is preferable to give your dog treats that contain only one ingredient, are low in calories, and contain no added sugar, such as sweet potato and blueberry bites. Alternatively, you can treat your dog with items that are already in your refrigerator, such as tiny portions of sweet potatoes, apples, and bananas. Regularly weigh your dog, monitor how many calories they intake, and establish a target body weight for them. Also, pain can make a Frenchie nervous and unable to eat, so keep an eye out for evident signs of injury. Another common reason for your French Bulldog not to eat is discomfort in the mouth caused by dental issues. Furthermore, gastrointestinal conditions, certain medicines, vaccination, overfeeding, or other serious health problems can cause a French Bulldog not to eat. As a result, you must keep an eye on your Frenchie and contact your veterinarian if the condition persists for weeks. Do French Bulldogs Eat a Lot? French Bulldogs are opportunistic feeders by nature. Thus, they will continue to eat as long as you provide pet food. They may begin to require more than is necessary to fulfill their appetite due to this behavior. Also, when a French Bulldog is agitated, it may begin to overeat. The most effective strategy to combat stress-related overeating is to thrive in a calm environment. At times, your dog may become bored and eat more than usual to keep itself occupied somehow. Thus, you must keep a watch on any of these factors. Can French Bulldogs Eat Bones? Dogs should not consume cooked bones of any kind. The bones may splinter, resulting in deadly shards that might cause injury due to choking hazards. Thus, if you wish to offer your Frenchie a bone, vets recommend raw meat bones, preferably from farm-raised chicken. These are best given after a meal to prevent them from eating too much. Remove it after around ten minutes and store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for tomorrow. To avoid bacterial contamination, it is recommended to discard it after a few days and keep it separate from other raw meat and food. Can French Bulldogs Be Vegetarians? Each Frenchie is one-of-a-kind. Simply because your French Bulldog likes veggies does not mean it can go full-on vegetarian. Also, bear in mind that many veggies are dangerous and toxic to your French Bulldog. Certain vegetables are acceptable to be fed to a French Bulldog, but only in small portions. Final Thoughts French Bulldogs are, without a doubt, playful, intelligent, and compassionate dogs. On the other hand, Frenchies are greedy eaters, and food serves as their primary motivator. Thus, a critical component of owning this breed is understanding how much, how frequently, and what food to feed a French Bulldog. You can supply dry food, wet food, raw food diets, or a homemade diet for your pet. Since Frenchie pups and adults may have food sensitivities, providing or making the best dog food for their age and nutritional requirements is critical. By doing so, you can help your Frenchie prevent undesirable health problems. This can help guarantee that your Frenchie receives the safest and healthiest diet as much as possible.

My passion for animals started at a very young age as I grow up on a farm with several horses, cows, cats, chickens, and dogs on our property. Leave a Comment. How often should I feed my French Bulldog puppy? Home » How often should I feed my French Bulldog puppy? Your puppy has been on unlimited food all of the time. If on the smaller side 5lbs , we recommend four times per day. If a little bit stouter, you can start with three times a day. We recommend giving them as much as they want at each setting while they are growing babies. As they age and grow you can take it down to times per day. Two feedings per day seems to be the amount of times most people end up feeding their Frenchies. When you place your puppy on a feeding schedule it helps with the potty training as well. After eating, take them outside to potty. Make sure to tell your little one how good he is for doing his duty outside. Basically you just fill the water up to the level of the dogfood. If they continue to turn their nose up at the kibble, try adding a bit of canned dogfood to the kibble. Puppies are like humans. Some overeat when stressed and some undereat. Changing to a new home is an environmental stressor even though we are sure your Frenchie is enjoying being the center of your world. Each Frenchie is different and each human family is different. Do your best at scheduling for you and your Frenchie to live your best lives. In this article, I will cover some key information about feeding your French Bulldog puppy, including how much you should feed them and a suggested outline for a feeding schedule that you can adapt as they grow. Keep reading to find out more. Typically speaking, the breeder that you have bought your French Bulldog puppy from should provide you with all of the information that you need on feeding your puppy. This includes what food your new puppy has been eating as well as how often your puppy has been fed throughout the day. French Bulldog puppies have high caloric and nutrient needs. Generally speaking, French Bulldog puppies aged anywhere from weeks of age need a total of 1. That being said, you will need to bear in mind that the quantity your dog eats depends on a number of factors, including their size, metabolism, and activity levels. Spreading out the meals is the key to a healthy, happy puppy, as it minimizes the peaks of energy your French Bulldog will experience due to dramatic rises and decreases in blood sugar levels between meals. Ensuring you feed them in these intervals will allow your puppy to maintain a healthy amount of energy and nutrients throughout their day. Once your French bulldog puppy reaches 6 months, you can reduce the number of times that you feed them down to 2 meals a day. Puppies can have sensitive stomachs. You will need to feed a puppy the same type of food, the same amount of food, and feed them at the same times of the day to ensure that their stomach can cope. To come up with a feeding plan for your specific puppy, you should consult with your veterinarian and come up with a suitable feeding schedule in conjunction with their advice. Age You will need to consider when feeding your French Bulldog puppy is their age. As a result, your puppy may initially be a little stubborn about eating dry and wet food if they were only just recently weaned. In this circumstance, you will need to ensure that you remain patient and consistent when it comes to meal times. Alternatively, you could try adding a dash of water to the dry kibble to make a type of gravy. Not only will the meaty aromas tempt them to the bowl and encourage them to eat their food, but it will also soften the dry kibble slightly and make it easier for them to chew. French Bulldog puppies are allowed to be separated from their mothers at 8 weeks, at which point they will weigh somewhere between 7 to 12lbs. How much your French Bulldog puppy weighs will depend on their gender, as male French Bulldogs typically weigh more than their female counterparts. They are considered fully grown around 12 to 14 months old, but may continue to put on muscle until they are two years old. They are a greedy breed by nature, and you need to be wary of overfeeding your French Bulldog as this can lead to a variety of health conditions if they become overweight. When assessing whether your Frenchie puppy is overweight, you should be able to see a little rib and they should have a defined waistline. When it comes to choosing to give your dog treats, fewer high quality treats on special occasions are much better than feeding them many lower quality ones more often to train them. When it comes to training your puppy, positive reinforcement in the form of praise also works. Calories As your French Bulldog puppy gets older, the number of calories they are eating should increase according to their weight. You should feed your puppy 12 to 30 calories per pound of their body weight. However, if you are not sure how much to feed your French Bulldog puppy, consult your vet. Nutrition One of the most important factors to consider when feeding your French Bulldog puppy is nutrition, as a healthy, well-balanced diet is essential for their growth and development. This simply comes down to the fact that puppies have higher energy requirements and are actively developing muscle and other tissues. Energy comes from the breakdown of protein fats and carbohydrates. Health Conditions When feeding your French Bulldog puppy, you will also need to bear in mind any health conditions that your Frenchie could be prone to developing. Diarrhea Stomach upsets are very common in Frenchies, so monitoring their diet is absolutely essential. Signs of a digestion problem include wet, runny, and loose stools. If a food allergy is suspected, the only treatment is an elimination diet. As a result, you will need to watch out for any food sensitivities your dog has. Reflux Flat-faced breeds such as Frenchies can suffer from reflux or struggle to swallow their food. You will need to monitor this when it comes to giving them their food. Dental Problems Flat-faced dogs often have crowded teeth which, in turn, can cause dental problems when it comes to chewing. While some French Bulldogs are hyperactive, others are lazy and love nothing more than lying on the couch all day. As your French Bulldog edges closer to adolescence, the amount of exercise they need will increase. Around 60 minutes of daily exercise split into two walks is plenty for your fully grown French Bulldog. As a result, too much exercise can even be bad for French Bulldogs. As a flat-faced breed, French Bulldogs can overheat and struggle to breathe and pant, especially in warmer weather. Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome BOAS is a condition that can cause severe breathing problems and is caused by their shorter faces. As a result, you should make sure that you take precautions to keep your dog cool and make sure that you understand the signs of heatstroke in dogs. Consult With Your Vet Above all else, consulting with your vet should be your first port of call when bringing home your new puppy. Invest In A Slow Feed Dog Bowl A slow feeding bowl is a useful dog bowl to have as they are designed with ridges or grooves which are designed to slow your dog down when they are eating. However, some treats contain high amounts of sugar, colourings, milk products and fat. As a result, you will need to make sure that you choose your treats carefully and use them wisely, as failure to do so can quickly result in your puppy becoming overweight. The moisture in wet food reduces the risk of urinary infections and other related issues while your puppy is still getting used to drinking water. As a result, it costs more to feed your dog, even if you are buying the product in bulk for a cheaper price. Wet dog food cannot be left in a bowl for hours on end, and it can be messier. As a result, people often consider wet dog food less convenient to feed their dog and store. Dry Dog Food Benefits Cheaper Dry dog foods are affordable and are incredibly easy to store for longer periods of time, meaning that they have a longer shelf life than wet foods. Dry kibble is excellent for getting rid of plaque build-up in the process of your dog chewing crunchy, dry kibble. However, despite the lack of hydration this dog food provides.

However, for the rest of this French bulldog puppy feeding guide, I am just going to talk in cups. Puppy weight How can weigh your puppy at the vets or, and this is can be a more interesting and fun way if your puppy already knows how to sit, have them sit on a scale at home. It will not be as accurate as a scale at the vet, but it could be a cheap and fun experience for you and your pet. Because of this, your puppy may be a little stubborn about eating dry and wet food if they were only just recently weaned. Here is where the math gets a little more detailed, but not too complicated. When they are between 8 to 12 weeks old, the puppy should be fed about 1. This food should be high in calories since they need extra nutrients that they are no longer getting from their mother. This kind of follows the main rule when it comes to spreading out the meals to 3 times a day. But for younger pups, many owners will split the 1. Because feeding them 0. Once they are between 6 and 9 months old, they should be used to their eating routine. That is when the main rule is applied because by then, the pup will be maturing into its adult size and should weigh between 20 and 25 pounds. What about older dogs? Also, if you are wondering how much they should be fed once they start hitting their senior years, they should be fed a little less as long only if they are not as active.

French bulldog puppies usually weight between 8. Once they reach 6 to 9 months, they are just at or are closer to reaching their adult weight, .If the puppy is underweight, then add very small increments to each meal every day until they are no longer underweight. It is important to not add too much food because of the possibility of them getting a twisted stomach. If the puppy is overweight, you can either slightly reduce the size of their meal until they lose weight, or you can give them more exercise. Many people prefer the later since it helps the pup to get stronger and adds more bonding time. The same methods apply to grown French bulldogs as well.

Health factors like diabetes yes, dogs can have diabetes , can make your pup need a more strict diet or feeding routine. Here are some different diets and feeding routines. Raw food vs. Many dog lovers say that there are too many preservatives, fillers, wheat, corn, and protein in dry and wet food. While the raw food diet can be more natural, especially if it is organic, you also have to make sure your pup would be getting more foods with vitamins and minerals mixed in with the raw food that your pup would need. Raw food diets can be more expensive, require more storage room for the meats and veggies, and take longer to prepare. However, you would be personally ensuring that your little French bulldog pup is getting their full daily nutrition without harmful by-products and additives. Is there a good dry food diet? Possibly the biggest questions out of all of them: is there any good dry dog food out there and how do I find them? The answer is yes, there can be some healthy dry dog food products, but it takes some time to look for. The key is to look for dog food that does not contain any preservatives, fillers, wheat, corn, and too much protein. Fillers basically do not provide any nutritional value and can even harm your dog since most of the ingredients they use as fillers are common allergies for dogs that can cause skin conditions, bowel issues, and more. Wheat and corn are included since they are also a popular allergen for dogs. Too much protein is even more dangerous for them since it can put more pressure on the organs, throw off nutritional balance, increase the likelihood of diabetes, and can harm dogs that already have diabetes.

These are all-life-stages products so there is no need to start with a puppy chow and then transition over to an adult chow. However, if you would like to use another high-quality chow, the transition should be made gradually so as not to upset your puppies digestive system which could cause loose stool or diarrhea. For an adult chow, you can get by with a percentage or two less on the protein and fat content, but unless you have a weight problem with your dog, generally the higher the protein and fat content the better. However, we love the grain free chows form PawTree which use sweet potato. All of the various meats are good, although if you have a very food sensitive Frenchie, turkey or duck are generally better than chicken, and fish can sometimes cause issues. If you are feeding your Frenchie a high quality chow, you can probably get by without special supplements. Our Frenchies love them like they are treats. NuVet has made a noticeable improvement in our kennel, especially with our pregnant and whelping females.

When you use the number provided you can purchase these supplements at a significantly discounted rate versus the retail cost. Have More Questions?

A little about me I grew up raising German Shepherds and Shelties. It has been about 25 years since I have raised dogs I stopped raising them when I got out of high school. I then got married and had children therefore the raising of dogs got put on the backburner. I am now at a point where I can start raising German shepherds again. I grew up with German Shepherds and they were my best friend and also my protector. These dogs are great with kids. I currently have 4 children ranging from 19 down to .My dogs are exceptionally smart, loyal, loving and protective when needed.

Typically, when you see those ads or people who post a photo of their "Old Fashioned" German Shepherd, you see a very large dog with a plush or long coat. They're also advertised to have "Straight Backs" and not the sloping back that is "the cause of hip dysplasia. The short answer is…No. German Shepherd Dogs are not large dogs but a medium-large breed. A lb "Old Fashioned" dog will collapse after an hour of working sheep. If anything, a 90lb German Shepherd is about the biggest true herding dog you'll find. Fat and muscle make heat and lactic acid during exercise. Lactic acid is what causes the burning sensation in your muscles when you exercise or walk to the opposite side of the mall. They're also almost always plush or long-coated. Long coated dogs with an undercoat were recently accepted into the FCI as not being a fault. I think long-coated dogs are handsome, but I'm very sad that it's no longer a fault. Why may you ask? Great savings and a cool hairdo are unbeatable. But jokes aside, how can something that was a fault until recently be old-fashioned? And don't forget, these are big, bulky-built dogs.Imagine that dog herding sheep all day in the summer like old-fashioned working people needed their old-fashioned working dog to do. They simply wouldn't be able to. A lot of people confuse slope with straight. A ruler is straight. If you tilt a ruler, it's still straight, it's just slightly sloped now. That's what a German Shepherd Dog's back is supposed to be. Straight and slightly sloping. Do some breeders, breed clubs and lines overdo the "slight" in slightly sloping? But does slope affect hips? No, it doesn't. Do you know what does affect hips? Buying puppies from breeders who don't have passing hip scores on both parents of your puppy, which a lot of "Old Fashioned" German Shepherd breeders do not because they think the straight back is keeping them safe.These are Old Fashioned German Shepherd dogs; they aren't hyper like these new dogs they're breeding to compete in Schutzhund. That isn't how they're supposed to be, all amped up and needing a lot of training. They're supposed to be family dogs. German Shepherds were created with one goal in mind; to be the best, most versatile working dogs the planet had ever seen. They were smart, loyal, motivated, and loving, and that made them great family dogs.That's the job of dogs in the Toy and Non-Sporting group. German Shepherd Dogs are classified in the working or herding group in every registry. Their job is to work, and working dogs must have drive, and dogs with drive require training or they'll drive you absolutely nuts. You want a dog who looks like a German Shepherd Dog but behaves like a stuffed animal or lawn ornament. The erect ears aren't what make German Shepherds who they are, it's the drive that does. If you step up to the challenge and harness that drive, you will have a dog that will do anything for you. How many dogs besides a well-bred German Shepherd will do that for you? Forget dogs, how many people would do that for you? Real Old Fashioned German Shepherds had drive and a lot of it. Lastly, size, were Old Fashioned German Shepherds big, lb dogs? Well, we talked about that a bit earlier, so you know the answer is no. But how big were they? Much to everyone's disappointment, they were pretty small. Much smaller than today's dogs. Slighter build and shorter, much thinner. Why did I say, "much to everyone's disappointment," you ask? Well, because even the founder of the breed, Max von Stephanitz wanted them to be just a little bigger! The average male back then was anywhere from lbs, and the average female was in the high 40lblb range. So, while real old-fashioned GSDs were pretty small, the founder of the breed did want bigger dogs. No, but he did want females in the lb range and males in the lb range. Why did he want bigger dogs that would make them a little less suitable for running all day and herding sheep? I think the answer lies in the fact that herding in the early s was the way of the past. Horses became cars, German Shepherds were being swapped out for fences, and Newspapers for radios. He could probably sense that a shift from German Shepherds being mostly herding dogs, to them being police and military dogs was coming. He had great foresight because not many of us have 40 acres of pasture and a flock of sheep. But if you do, post pictures in the comments because that's pretty awesome! If you have a large, long-haired, laid-back dog, that's great! Especially if you're happy and they're happy. But are they old-fashioned? Not at all. They're the newest member of the family, in fact. My name is Mitzi Michelle Brooks. I have had dogs all my life and German Shepherds most of that time. I have tried different breeds, but always come back to what I know and love.

If you are thinking of adding a white merle Poodle to your family, there are a few things you should know. First, these dogs do require some extra care when it comes to grooming. Their coats can be more difficult to maintain than other colors of Poodles, so be prepared to invest some time and money into keeping them looking their best.

If you are considering adding a white Poodle to your family, be sure to do your research to find a reputable breeder. Poodles come in a variety of colors, with white being one of the most popular. However, some people prefer more rare colors for their Poodles. The rarest color of Poodle is black. Black Poodles are not albino, but rather have a recessive gene that causes them to be born without any pigment in their coat. This makes them very sensitive to the sun and they can easily get sunburned. Black Poodles are also more prone to health problems such as deafness and blindness. What Color Poodle in the Smartest? There are a lot of opinions out there about what color Poodle is the smartest. Some people say that white Poodles are the smartest, while others say that black Poodles are the smartest. So, what is the truth? Well, there is no definitive answer. However, there are some studies that suggest that white Poodles may be slightly smarter than black Poodles. One study found that white Poodles were better at problem-solving and memory tasks than black Poodles. Another study found that white Poodles outperformed black Poodles on a test of intelligence. So, it seems that white Poodles may have a slight edge when it comes to intelligence. But at the end of the day, it is really up to each individual dog — regardless of its color — to show how smart it is. Some white Poodles may start to turn brown as they age. They can help determine if the discoloration is due to aging or another underlying health condition. Can a White Poodles Change Color? Most commonly, the coat will lighten as the dog ages. This is due to a loss of pigment in the hair follicles. Sun exposure can also cause the coat to lighten. Poodles that spend a lot of time outdoors may develop a cream or apricot coloration. Is My Poodle White or Cream? The answer may depend on who you ask. Others believe that Poodles can only be considered white if they have blue eyes and pink skin underneath their fur. The price of the puppy depends on the breeder, the bloodline, and the overall health and quality of the dog. A reputable breeder is going to charge more for their puppies, but it is worth it to get a dog from a good bloodline. Puppies that are unhealthy or have genetic defects will be less expensive than those that are healthy and have no known problems. Email address: Leave this field empty if you're human: Popular Posts. By Shannon Cutts 1 Comment The white standard Poodle is a particularly striking and memorable coat color. They stand around 15 inches tall and weigh about 70lbs. And although white dogs are in general more likely to be deaf than other colors and occasionally have dermatological issues, their other predispositions to disease are the same. Sometimes the white Poodle is called the white French Poodle, out of a mistaken idea that the Poodle hails from France. This dog was actually first bred in Germany! But the French people love Poodles and have chosen the Poodle as their national dog — hence the nickname. The Poodle is a remarkable sight in any coat color. But there is just something about a white Poodle, especially a white standard Poodle done up in a full show clip complete with pompons! A white Poodle is not an albino Poodle. Albino dogs are actually quite rare, but many dogs have white coats. You can easily tell the difference by looking at eye color. Poodles nearly always have dark-colored eyes, and some light-coated Poodles will have amber eyes. Other standard coat colors include silver, silver beige, red, gray, cream, black, brown, blue, and apricot. Non-standard coat colors include bi-coated Poodles. An example of a bi-coated Poodle might be white and silver or red and white. About White Poodles and Deafness Canine researchers have confirmed a link between white coat color and canine deafness. The Poodle But it does mean that deafness is more likely to occur in white-coated dogs than in other dogs. The Poodle with or without a white coat is one of an estimated 85 dog breeds prone to inherited deafness. The current theories regarding heritable deafness linked to the white coat color include a possible recessive gene and a lack of pigmentation along the inner ear canal. Many deaf dogs and their owners live long and happy lives together with a little help from deaf dog training. White Poodle Dog Shedding and Grooming The white Poodle has the same enviable quality as Poodle dogs of different coat colors: a nearly non-shedding coat. This has given Poodles a reputation as hypoallergenic dogs, although technically they still have the same allergy-triggering protein in their skin, urine, and saliva as do all other dogs. Where the hypoallergenic label comes into play relates to the amount of contact that you, as a Poodle owner, can expect to have with this protein, which can be shed out along with falling fur. This keeps your clean-up chores to a minimum and also minimizes your contact with fur-born protein allergens. If you or someone in your family is sensitive to pet dander, a Poodle could be a good choice for a family pet. Even so, a daily brush will go a long way to keep tangles from forming while removing any trapped debris as well. The white miniature Poodle can weigh up to 15 pounds and stand up to 15 inches tall. The white toy Poodle will weigh four to six pounds and stand no taller than 10 inches. A white teacup Poodle is the smallest Poodle, typically weighing between two and four pounds and standing no taller than eight inches. They are also known as micro Poodles! White Poodle Dog Temperament and Personality To date, there is no confirmed link between the white coat color in Poodles and any differences in temperament or personality. Rather, a white Poodle from a reputable, health-focused breeder will display the same loving, intelligent, and active personality that Poodles as a breed are known for. The white standard Poodle is a top pick for families with young children. The standard Poodle makes a great family watchdog and will be gentle and loving towards their family — children and adults alike. However, a small white Poodle miniature, toy, or teacup size is not generally regarded as a suitable pet dog for families with small children. Smaller Poodles can have a more anxious or high-strung temperament. They tend to poorly tolerate rough play and can also be easily injured if they get underfoot. Training and Socialization The standard Poodle and smaller Poodles miniature, toy, teacup face different challenges during the training and socialization process. This stems from their slightly different natures — the standard Poodle is typically calm and centered unless guarding duties indicate otherwise. A white mini Poodle, white toy Poodle, or white teacup Poodle, on the other hand, may display more anxiety in the presence of strange people, animals, or situations. A white Poodle of any size will benefit greatly from early and ongoing training and socialization, including exposure to unfamiliar people, animals, and situations. This will help your white Poodle learn to be a happy, healthy, productive member of your family and local community. Exercise A white standard Poodle or white small Poodle is an active dog breed. The Poodle breed first gained its start in Germany as a breed meant to assist human hunters with retrieving ducks. These dogs are great swimmers! They are also all-around excellent athletes and excel at pretty much any type of canine sports, including dock diving, agility, obedience, tracking, and other sports. Poodles also love to play, with games of fetch being a particular breed favorite. A white Poodle of any size will thrive with lots of daily activity. For smaller Poodles, be sure to modify activities to account for their shorter legs and smaller size. White Standard Poodle Health Issues Not all known breed-specific health issues can be detected before you make a lifelong commitment to a white Poodle or a Poodle with any coat color. A white standard Poodle, like other large dog breeds that have deep chests, is at risk to develop bloat gastric torsion. Bloat occurs when the stomach twists, and it can quickly become fatal. Smaller white Poodle dogs are not typically at risk for bloat. Standard Poodles should be tested for hip dysplasia and eye issues. Cardiac and thyroid function tests are also highly recommended. Standard Poodle Puppoes Be prepared to make a substantial investment if you choose a white Poodle of any size. Choosing a White Poodle Puppy The best approach when selecting your new white baby Poodle is to look for a healthy, energetic, curious, and friendly Poodle puppy. Whether you are choosing a puppy from a litter of white standard Poodle puppies, or you have your eye on a white mini Poodle or white toy Poodle puppy, be sure the breeder you work with can show proof that all required genetic health tests and vaccinations have been done.
