3 week old golden retriever puppy

Sabrina A. Luna Lou when she was itty bitty Bath time can be a stressful time for our pets but also for us! Here are a few tips that have helped us make bath time a little more enjoyable for everyone. Dallas will tiptoe around a puddle if she can. Therefore, I do what I can to make it as pleasant as possible. Lucky for them, I used to be a hairstylist and give a mean scrub and massage. But before we get to the rubby-dubby stuff I start with a warm bath and some sweet talking. I run the tub with warm water and double check the temp before letting them in. I call them over with positive energy and promises of treats. One really important thing to have is an anti-slip mat for your tub. It really helps them stand and feel more confident in the bath. Make sure you have your shampoo, towels, cup, and something to put under your knees. Our dogs, being bulldogs, can have skin irritations so I use a shampoo that is formulated for sensitive skin and has little to no scent. Just like humans, dogs all have different needs and that should be taken into consideration when choosing their shampoo. As I mentioned, I stay away from strong smelling shampoos. As tempting as it is to buy the luxurious smelling dog shampoo and how nice it would be for us to snuggle our noses into their perfumed fur, you have to remember how sensitive dogs noses are and also those strong perfumes can be drying on their skin. Washing Off the Stink Once they are in the tub, I take a cup and scoop the warm water and get them all wet. I am very careful not to get water in their face and ears. I just use my one hand to hold her ears out of the way while I carefully pour water behind her ears. I avoid washing their face and just use a wash cloth. Next, I add soap to my hands and start scrubbing. I rinse her all off and then do a second shampoo. This time I let it sit on while I give her one of my super massages and good butt scratches. I now do a final rinse and continue until all soap is gone. You really want to make sure you get it all off or it can cause irritation. I follow that with a rub with my hands to try and get some water off before taking them out of the tub. I like to have a couple towels on the floor layered open on top of each other. It is what it is! Good thing they are cute, right?! After they have shaken all the water off themselves and all over your bathroom sorry, no tip for that one…if you have one, please share! If you have a bulldog or any other wrinkly faced pooch, make sure to dry their wrinkles well. Same goes for that tail pocket. I like to use my blow dryer on low with a few shots of cool to dry the tail pocket. Just like people, washing too often will strip them of their natural oils. Usually the nose knows. If they are smelling a little wild, we bathe. That is usually every couple months. During allergy season we bathe more often. They are vet checked and micro chipped prior to going to their forever homes. We may consider full registration on very specific puppies and families. All of our puppies and dogs are raised in our home, where they are loved first and foremost. If we do not keep back from a certain breeding those on the list will automatically be moved up in picks. We always have inquiries regarding our puppies, and another family may be ready to reserve that same puppy. We encourage you to place a deposit as soon as you are ready! The puppy will be offered to the next family if we do not receive proof that the funds have been sent. Dorothy is a busy spit fire. She plays with other dogs and loves her toys. Loves all dog as long as they can handle her outgoing fast paced personality. On Jan. My vet found that she has grade 1 luxating petellas in both knees. She shows no clinical signs of issues, lameness or of being in pain. So her vet check really surprised me with this out come. I have attached my vets notes in pictures above. This 18 week old boy is available. He is a sweet goofy little man who is really wanting his fur ever family. Through no fault of his own he is available again. This little man deserves to find his new family. Never, ever, ever buy a dog registered with the CKC Continental Kennel Club if your intention is to breed, show, or stud the animal. The Continental Kennel Club is a giant scam. Mike Roy, the owner of the CKC, does not care about the quality of breeds or the animals he allows to be registered with his illegitimate company. This is especially true for rare and uncommon breeds such as the French Bulldog. The AKC hosts countless conformation, agility, and Best in Show events all over the country and world at large. There are endless titles and ranks professionally administered and presided over by the AKC. The AKC has in its posession over years of documented dog breed pedigrees. Their requirements for registering litters are stringent. Both parents must be AKC registered in order to register a litter. Pedigrees can be tracked right from the AKC website. Now Stop. Realize that the CKC offers none of this. The Continental Kennel Club does not offer reliable pedigrees for their registered dogs. From the very beginning, the AKC has approached breed management through stringent biology and documentation. Official AKC-accepted breeds are qualified by documented histories of registered litters between dams and sires dating back nearly years. The Continental Kennel Club cannot offer this reliability to you. The Continental Kennel Club Has No Registration Standard The CKC will allow anyone with any dog, regardless of pedigree, to register their litters and receive paperwork for free that looks like legitimate dog registration applications similar to what one would receive from an AKC-registered breeder. This is a continuation of the scam. The CKC requires only a handful of photos to register a dog as purebred. This means the degradation of the breed. The CKC exists purely as a scam to fool unsuspecting people into buying questionably bred dogs from breeders who do not want to adhere to the humane and stringent quality standards set forth by the AKC. Note Well: If you are absolutely in love with a puppy registered with the Continental Kennel Club, try to set your emotions aside and consider the ramifications of paying the breeder for the dog. We have personally dug up several puppy mills operating as legitimate breeders by simply looking up who registers their animals with the Continental Kennel Club. Nine times out of ten, the conditions were unfit for the animals and the owners were slapped with some nice legal charges for their hubris. When searching for a people, we encourage you to report anyone attempting to sell animals registered with the CKC, as it is an immediate red flag of sub-par breeding and it follows that cutting corners means poor conditions for the puppies and their parents. Females: pounds. Height Males: inches. Females: inches. However, the French Bulldog breed's distinguished breed heritage and intriguing history as a European companion dog place him on a level far above that of any swine. Modern French Bulldogs are descendants of large, ancient dogs that were kept by a Greek tribe known as the Molossians. The breed, known as the Molossus, is believed to have spread to other countries on the ships of seafaring peoples. Over time, the Molossus found its way to Britain, where British breeders created a new dog from his lineage: the Mastiff. Although the Mastiff's enormous physique has little in common with the petite French Bulldog, the breeds share a genetic link. Bullenbeissers were a subdivision of the mastiff lineage bred specifically for bullbaiting. Bullbaiting was a popular English blood sport during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in which bulls were tied to a pole with 30 feet of leash. A bullbaiting dog was bred to crawl on his stomach toward the bull, avoid being gored by the horns, and bite the enraged bull on the snout. Many bullbaiting dogs were maimed or killed fighting bulls, and the British Parliament banned the practice in by passing the Cruelty to Animals Act. When the British Parliament outlawed bullbaiting, breeders focused on more humane roles for the dogs to fulfill in society. Many owners appreciated the tenacity and strength of bullbaiting dogs and attempted to make smaller versions that would carry those traits into companionship roles. The bullbaiting dogs were mixed with smaller breeds, such as terriers and pugs, hoping to create a more compact version of the beloved Bulldog. Toy Bulldogs emerged in England during the first half of the nineteenth century. Far lighter than the original Bulldog, some weighed as little as 12 pounds. Toy-sized Bulldogs fit better with city life than their larger counterparts. Since toy Bulldogs were smaller and lighter, they were easier to carry, and many male and female workers of the British Industrial Revolution chose toy Bulldogs as their pets. Workers who left Britain to find jobs as lace workers in France popularized the breed in their host country. The breed's now iconic, bat-like ears became a desired trait that distinguished the French Bulldog from the toy Bulldog. French socialites, especially women, grew particularly fond of the peculiar-looking dog, and many chose the French Bulldog specifically for his exceeding patience during gossip sessions. The French Bulldog became an accessory to fashionable women since the dog's appearance with his art nouveau ears drew the attention of onlookers and passersby during walks. Miniature Bulldogs became so popular in France that, by the year , French demand had nearly outstripped the supply of pups being exported by British breeders. News of the French Bulldog spread further west in the latter half of the nineteenth century. As in France, America's most elite families fawned over the breed, including the Rockefellers and the Morgans. In the twenty-first century, the French Bulldog was recognized as one of the top twenty most popular breeds in the United States. Breed Characteristics Head: Somewhat brachycephalic skull-type, moderate in size, shaped rather square, and in proportion to the rest of the body. From the front, the topskull is flat, or nearly flat, between the ears. In profile, the topskull appears long and slightly rounded and should not appear short or flat. It should be free from excess skin and wrinkles. The muscles, including those of the cheeks and the temporal muscles, are well-developed. The superciliary arches and a furrow at the stop are prominent. The occiput is not prominent. The head is clean-cut without excess skin or wrinkles. Eyes: The eyes are moderate in size, open-oval to round in shape, set rather far apart from one another and from the ears, and as dark in color as possible or self-colored according to the coat in lighter dogs. The eyes are never bulging. There should be sufficient bone in the surrounding orbital sockets to protect the eyes. Eye rims are darkly pigmented and tight-fitting. There should be no looseness, and the whites of the eyes should not be visible when looking forward. The ears are never long, overly large, or broken. Muzzle: The muzzle is broad, deep, full, well-developed, and may be somewhat laid back. It should never be so short as to appear flat in profile. Upper and lower jaws are wide, have good bone substance, and are strong and well-developed, never appearing snipy or weak. The lower jaw and chin are just slightly upturned, well-developed, and visible from the front or in profile; however, they should never protrude beyond the break of the lips when the mouth is shut. A very slight roll of skin is permissible on the top of the muzzle; however, a roll-free muzzle is preferred for hygienic reasons. Nose: The nose is well-pigmented, black, or self-colored, according to the coat in non-standard color varieties. The nostrils are well-opened. Neck: Moderate length allows for a proud head carriage, strongly muscled, with a slight arch. The neck tapers smoothly from the deeper and broader body toward the head.

The tail may be straight or gently curved. Inverted tails, corkscrew tails, and kinked tails are extremely undesirable and potentially unhealthy. Movement: The movement is powerful, free, energetic, and efficient. The characteristics of a healthy structure are evident. When moving away, the forelegs and rear pasterns should remain parallel to one another. When viewing movement from the front, the forelegs should remain parallel, with elbows and paws moving neither in nor out. From the rear, the back pads should be visible when the rear legs are extended. As speed increases, the forelimbs and hindlimbs will converge to the center line of gravity. From the side, the topline should remain firm and level. Good reach of movement in the front allows the forepaw to extend out in line with the nose. When extended, the width between the forefeet should be approximately equal to the width between the hindfeet when extended, indicating balance, good reach, and good drive. Dogs that exhibit any sign of breathing or locomotive difficulty shall be disqualified from the show ring. Temperament: The French Bulldog breed is well-known for their calm and well-mannered temperament. They are intelligent, capable of learning many different types of tricks and disciplines, and take any task they are given very seriously. They are devoted, playful, and alert. They are lively, gregarious, and get along well with people, other dogs, and other animals that they have been socialized to, making them an ideal family companion.

They should never appear chiseled or flat. Dentition and Bite: Forty-two strong, clean, and white teeth. The bite may be level, reverse-scissor, or undershot. The tongue and teeth should remain concealed when the mouth is closed. Body and Tail General Description: Compact, solid, somewhat cobby, and of good substance.

Photo from: milocanoodle Designer dogs — also known as hybrid dogs or just mixed breed dogs — are crossbreeds of two purebred parents. While crossbreeding is becoming more and more popular, some people are strictly against it. Many oppose the idea of combining two dog breeds for the sake of creating a new dog just to fit the needs of humans. Also, the biggest issue with crossbreeds is that there is no certain way to predict how the offspring will look. This is because you mix two sets of very different genes, allowing for a huge number of combinations and possibilities. Even in one litter, you can find puppies that will look nothing alike. In the case of the Cane Corso Poodle mix, some pups will look like their Cane Corso parent, some will look like Poodles, while others will be a mix of traits of both breeds. However, there are many good things about crossbreeding that no one can deny. Most notably, this is the health benefit that mixed breed dogs have over purebred canines. To maintain the appearance and temperament of a purebred dog, many dog breeders opt to inbreed. Two animals that are cousins are allowed to mate to keep the bloodlines pure. As you may already know, this leads to a large number of health problems or defects. When you add new genes to the gene pool, nature chooses to pick the healthiest genes and give them to the offspring. This is because many genetic conditions are carried by recessive genes, meaning that a dog has to inherit them from both parents. Hybrid vigor allows crossbreeds to have a smaller chance of inheriting these bad genes, allowing a healthy litter of puppies. Also, crossbreeding is usually done to prevent some bad features of a dog breed by mixing the breed with a dog that has opposite traits. For example, if an aggressive dog is bred with a mellow canine, chances are the puppy will be something in between. The same goes for physical traits. Not much is known about these fantastic dogs. Cane Corso History The Cane Corso belongs to molossus dogs — also known as molossers — a special kind of working dogs originating from giant guard dogs that the ancient Greeks bred. All dogs of the molossus type belong to the Mastiff-type of dogs. Roman people brought these giant dogs to Italy, where they mixed them with native Italian breeds, creating the ancestors of both the Cane Corso and Neapolitan Mastiff. These were huge war dogs used to charge enemy lines with buckets of flaming oil tied to their backs. It is believed that these dogs were even larger than the Cane Corsos we have today, as they had to look as scary as possible and be very strong. As the Roman Empire fell, Cane Corsos were used for boar hunting, livestock driving, farming, and guarding henhouses and farmsteads. While the breed became nearly extinct by the 20th century, a group of Italian breeders decided to revive it in the s. Poodle History While Poodles are associated with France a country in which they are known as the Caniche , they actually originated in Germany, where they were used as duck hunters. Their name is derived from the word pudelin, which is the term used for splashing in the water. Believe it or not, but Poodles were actually used as water retrievers! Their curly coat served as great water protection, and their intelligence made them easy to train. As the Miniature Poodles were bred, royals took to this breed and brought it to the courts. Also, because of their flamboyant appearance and high intelligence, they were used in circuses for entertainment. Some dogs look just like one of their parents, while others are a near-perfect mix of the two. Still, while observing the small amount of Cane Corso Poodle mixes out there, we can notice that most of these pups are large dogs with wavy, medium-length coats. As both parent breeds can come in many coat colors, the same can be said for its offspring that can come in a variety of shades — although it seems like pure black is the most sought-after. Cane Corso Appearance Cane Corsos are large, intimidating dogs that stand around 28 inches tall but some can be as tall as 30! These dogs are muscular, with a broad chest, a wide skull, as well as a wrinkly forehead. Many Cane Corsos in the US have cropped ears, although this is a controversial practice banned in some areas and most European countries. This is why Cane Corsos with floppy ears are becoming more popular on the streets. They have a short, coarse, double-layered coat that is allowed to come in black, red, blue, fawn, and brindle colors. Some Cane Corso owners compare their coat type to that of a cow! They have almond eyes that can vary in color. While many Corsos have dark brown eyes, they can come in amber, yellow, and even blue! As even the largest Poodle is still significantly smaller than the Cane Corso, there is no need to mix smaller Poodle types with this giant breed. Poodles have a straight back and a long, elegant neck. Their legs are noticeably long even with all that fur, and their ears are medium-length and dropped. A Poodle is most known for its glorious coat. If left intact, their coats will be medium to long and curly, giving them an adorable teddy bear appearance. However, many Poodle owners give their dogs a significant cut that can be seen in many cartoons and movies where Poodles are shown as spoiled pets of rich owners. There are many Poodle colors , and all are allowed by the AKC. Overall, you can expect a Cane Corso Poodle mix to be a large dog, although not as giant as its Cane Corso parent, making it a bit more comfortable to live inside houses or even larger apartments. However, their desire to please their owners also makes them very obedient. While Cane Corsos are a bit stoic, Poodles are outgoing and playful, so these dogs tend to be friendly yet proud, making them some of the more elegant-behaving dogs around. Cane Corso Temperament Cane Corsos are dogs that are ready to face any challenge they might face. This is both a good and bad thing, depending on how you behave around them. They have an aggressive streak, so they need a responsible owner who will give them plenty of socialization early on. Fortunately, they are affectionate dogs that can do great with children if trained properly and on time. You need to show them who the pack leader is in time; otherwise, they can become quite stubborn. As they were bred to be guard dogs, they can be wary of strangers, which is another reason why you want to socialize them in time. Are Cane Corsos Aggressive? Is there truth to these rumors? Unfortunately, there are many reported cases of Cane Corso bites. These dogs can be aggressive towards both humans and animals alike. Just like German Shepherds or even Border Collies , these dogs were bred to be watchdogs. Why is that? People seem to forget that Cane Corsos were initially war dogs. Unfortunately, some Cane Corsos were also used in fighting rings due to their large size and strength. All of this helped develop an aggressive streak in these dogs. Cane Corsos can make amazing family dogs if you know how to train them properly. They are affectionate and loyal, and some might even behave as giant lap dogs! However, they are not for novice owners or people afraid of big dogs. Poodle Temperament Poodles are friendly, intelligent dogs that love to have fun. They are active and ready to be the clown of the house! They love attention so much they can easily develop some bad behaviors, such as constant barking. Smaller Poodles can be a bit aggressive to other pets, especially dogs of the same gender. Despite their looks, Poodles can be protective of their owners, and they make great guard dogs. In the end, they were bred to be hunting dogs, and this can be seen if they feel like their owner is in danger. Both the Poodle and Cane Corso are highly intelligent dogs. In theory, this means that they are effortless to train. However, they can be a bit stubborn, especially Cane Corsos, which can make the process a bit more difficult. Proper training and socialization, while easy, have to be repeated daily, as you cannot let these canines fall off track. Be firm and strict, but also somewhat gentle, as Canoodles can be sensitive dogs. Use lots of positive reinforcement, as these pups can be food-driven. Your Cane Corso Poodle mix will require lots of walks and exercise, as this is an active dog with high energy levels. Due to their intelligence, these dogs can get bored very easily, and boredom leads to destructive behavior. Also, give him enough dog toys to occupy him for the better part of the day. Interactive toys with treats are a good idea, as they will make your dog think in order to get that yummy bite he desires. Poodles are a non-shedding breed, while Cane Corsos experience mild to small amounts of shedding. However, curly Poodles require daily brushing to keep mats and tangles from forming. Most Canoodles have a medium-length coat that is wavy. Occasional visits to a professional groomer are advised for those dogs that have inherited a longer coat. Just like with all other dogs, the Cane Corso Poodle mix needs to have his nails trimmed whenever they grow long enough to curl. Look for any odors or signs of irritation. While these seem harmless, gum and teeth problems can be very dangerous for your dog. Poodles are considered to be the best dogs for people who sneeze or wheeze after they come in contact with canines. This is why many dog breeders add their genes to their bloodlines, hoping they will create a hypoallergenic dog. Most people reported having issues with dog hair. Poodles are considered non-shedding dogs. Theoretically, this combination makes Canoodles great dogs for allergy sufferers. However, there is a catch. What Does Hypoallergenic Mean? If you have an issue with allergies of any kind, you are probably familiar with the term hypoallergenic. This word seems to be plastered on all sorts of items, usually foods, soaps, shampoos, clothing materials, even family pets. But what does hypoallergenic really mean? However, this gets a bit tricky with dogs. Dander consists of tiny specks of dead skin. Dander sticks to objects like hair. When a dog sheds, the dander is spread around together with the loose hair. In fact, Cane Corsos are prone to drooling due to the droopy shape of their muzzles. This cannot possibly be good for a person with dog allergies! Photo from: milocanoodle All dogs secrete urine, saliva, and dander to a certain extent. This means that no dog can be considered truly hypoallergenic. However, the Cane Corso Poodle mix could be a good choice for all but the most extreme allergy sufferers. Even if your Canoodle gives you allergies, there are still things you can do that might help you enjoy the time you spend together. While sharing a bed with your dog is tempting, this is the worst possible thing for an allergy sufferer! Make sure your dog cannot enter your bedroom by placing a baby fence or simply teaching him to stay out of it at all times. You might also want to visit your doctor, who can prescribe some antihistamines. Also, before you buy a Cane Corso Poodle mix, try spending some time with this dog breed. Of course, this can vary. If you do have a problem with Canoodles, you might want to consider some other purebred hypoallergenic dog, as they are a more certain option. Cane Corso Cane Corsos , also known as Molossers, are mastiff dogs. Molossers are great guard dogs and people have been using them for centuries to guard and hunt large prey. In fact, Molosser dogs originated from the giant working dog breeds that the Greeks and Romans used to breed for hunting, guarding, and keeping as watchdogs. They truly are an ancient breed! Cane Corso is a hyperactive dog that loves to play and run around. This dog breed is also super intelligent and will easily follow your commands. While these dogs are loyal and affectionate, they can become aggressive if they sense fear from their owners. Therefore, a Cane Corso is likely not the right choice for first-time dog owners. They need a calm and smart owner who knows how to properly train them and keep them well-mannered. Cane Corsos also needs proper socialization to prevent violent behavior with other dogs and strangers. These dogs need regular exercise to divert their energies in the right direction and avoid destructive behavior. Poodles History Standard Poodle Regarded as one of the most intelligent dogs eve, Poodles are known as being smart, energetic, and loyal. Back in the day, Poodles were popular as working dogs, and people bred them as duck hunters. Standard Poodles are pretty big in size and are the national dog of France, but originated in Germany. Poodles have thick curly coats, which is why they are low- to no-shedding. Poodles are extremely friendly and loyal and require lots of attention from their owners. Because they are always eager to please, they are easy to train. Poodles are also great house pets as they are highly intelligent and can make great guard dogs as well. While Poodles are quite outgoing, Cane Corsos are somewhat stoic, and their offspring can take after either parent. They are working dogs, after all, and require guidance and boundaries. With that being said, you must be very experienced with dogs and dog behavior if you want to get a Canoodle. Canoodles require plenty of enrichment and structure. Overall, you can expect a Canoodle to be intelligent and obedient. Energy Cane Corso Poodles are always energetic and eager to play. These are not couch-potato dogs and training is non-negotiable. Regular playtime is essential to divert their energies in the right direction. It will prevent them from becoming aggressive toward you, your family, strangers, and other animals. Intelligence Cane Corso Poodle mix is an intelligent dog and has inherited its intelligence from its parents. These dogs want to follow commands and need a strong leader to give them training and guidance. Plus, they want to train. Training them gives them the outlet they need. We also recommend reaching out to a trainer to see other ways to keep your Canoodle happy! But note that Canoodles may get a bit aggressive due to their protective and territorial instincts, so be careful when introducing them to other family members and animals. Cane Corso Poodle Mix Appearance. Prey Drive Is High in the Poodle Poodles are traditional duck hunters, and they are naturally inclined to chase and kill small prey. There is no guarantee that every Poodle is going to be predisposed to predation, but some will be. Always be mindful of your Poodle around other small animals. And there are not many breeders who specialize in the Canoodle mix. This scarcity, combined with their growing popularity, can make it challenging to find a Canoodle puppy. A highly intelligent canine, a Canoodle is eager to please their owners. Most prove to be highly trainable and respond well to positive reinforcement training methods. Owners say that Canoodles are affectionate and loyal dogs. Mixed breed dogs can have varying temperaments depending on the mix of traits from both parent breeds and the individual dog. Canoodles seem to love to play and interact with their owners and other pets. Individual Canoodles may differ in their degree of guarding and dominance—which comes from the Cane Corso. Are These Dogs Good for Families? It can be a lot. They are also highly sociable dogs that love to play and interact with their owners. Their Cane Corso parentage can make them headstrong—if not properly raised and trained. If you have never owned a dog before, most people advise against having a Cane Corso. Likewise, the Canoodle may also not be a great choice of dog for first-time dog owners. Canoodles can have that same tendency to rule the roost. Some Canoodles may have a strong prey drive, inherited from the Poodle, while others may be more aggressive, inherited from the Cane Corso. Early socialization and training can help prevent any behavioral issues from developing and can help ensure that the Canoodle gets along well with other pets. Introducing the Canoodle to other pets, including other dogs and cats, from an early age can help them become more comfortable and confident around them. Regular training and positive reinforcement can also help promote good behavior and prevent any bossy tendencies from developing. This hybrid dog can be loyal and devoted, and its parentage can mean you get the impressive size of the Cane Corso with the low-shedding coat of the Poodle. But, the Cane Corso Poodle mix is not for everyone. While these dogs are devoted and loving towards their human family, they do require an experienced handler with knowledge about large breeds and proper canine training methods. The most important part of any diet plan for a Cane Corso Poodle mix is meeting the nutritional needs of this large-breed dog. Feed your Canoodle a high-quality dry or wet food designed specifically for large breeds. It should contain plenty of protein as well as healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. How much you should feed your Canoodle entirely depends on their size—most are bred to a Standard Poodle, and if this is the case with your bestie, follow the guidelines for a large breed dog. Not only will exercise help keep them physically fit, but it can also have a calming effect on their sometimes-excitable personality. There are plenty of activities that dog owners can enjoy with their Cane Corso Poodle mix including walking, running, playing fetch or frisbee in the park, or even joining in on agility classes if they want something more challenging. Try out different activities and see what your Canoodle responds to. When it comes to Canoodles—training comes with the territory. Training the Cane Corso Poodle mix can be a rewarding experience, but it requires consistency and diligence on your part. Be patient. Be gentle. Training should start as early as possible to ensure success in the long run. It also helps to use positive reinforcement such as treats or toys when they follow commands correctly. Keeping up with brushing, bathing, and nail trims will not only help maintain their appearance but also reduce the likelihood of related health issues. It is important for prospective owners to understand the risks associated with owning a Cane Corso Poodle Mix in order to ensure the best possible care for their pet. Mixed-breed dogs are known for their robustness, but there are still some health issues that can arise within the Canoodle. Some of the most common issues include hip dysplasia, eye problems such as cataracts or glaucoma, hypothyroidism, and skin allergies. Minor Conditions. White, blue, silver, red, brown, gray, and black Suitable for: Active families who are looking for a low-shedding dog. They do well with families with children and get along well with other pets. Temperament: Loyal, Loving, Intelligent Technically, any dog breed can be mixed with any other dog breed, assuming the dogs are close enough in size. However, the Cane Corso Poodle mix is among the stranger mixed breeds. These dogs can inherit any trait from either parent, making them vary. However, this mixed breed is more likely to have certain traits than others. Therefore, there is a little bit we can tell you about them. Dogs that are harder to train will require a bit more patience and practice. Proper exercise, nutrition, and hygiene also play an important role in the lifespan of your pet. More social dogs have a tendency to run up to strangers for pets and scratches, while less social dogs shy away and are more cautious, even potentially aggressive. They can be nearly impossible to find. Puppies tend to be very energetic, just as you might expect. As intelligent dogs, they take to training very easily. We recommend starting training as soon as you bring the puppy home. This helps ensure that the puppy learns how to interact properly with the world from an early age. They can inherit any trait from either parent, which already adds a lot of variety to the mix. However, how they are raised also matters a lot. With that said, this breed is known for being loyal, intelligent, and friendly. They may or may not be territorial, depending on the exact traits they inherit. Some will be more territorial than others, but socialization often plays a large role. They require quite a bit of mental stimulation due to their intelligence. Are These Dogs Good for Families? They are noted for being devoted to their owners, particularly children, and for forming deep ties with their families. They are incredibly kind and tolerant with kids, which makes them a popular choice for families with children. With that said, this breed is extremely energetic and requires lots of activity. Therefore, they are best for active families that want a dog to be active with. The Canedoodle gets along well with other pets, including other dogs and cats, with proper socialization. They are amiable and social, making them suitable companions for other animals. However, they do require plenty of socialization to make that happen. Exposing your Canedoodle to other pets gradually and under strict supervision is essential, especially in the beginning. This can guarantee an excellent introduction and ensure your Canedoodle learns to interact with other pets safely. Early socialization and training are essential for ensuring your Canedoodle grows into a well-adjusted dog who gets along with other dogs. They can be a bit territorial, so getting them around other dogs from a very early age is vital. Their nutritional needs vary according to age, activity level, and general health. Most Canedoodles require a diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals to promote their growth and development. Because they are so active, they often need more protein and fat than other dogs. Selecting a dog food that is age- and activity-level appropriate and fulfills their particular nutritional demands is critical. These dogs eat a lot, so you should expect to pay a lot for their food. If fed improperly, puppies can develop hip dysplasia, especially in larger variants of this mixed breed. Dogs that grow too quickly are particularly at risk for hip dysplasia, so controlled feedings are required. They have a lot of energy and must exercise for at least 60 minutes daily. You can meet this requirement in many different ways. Many owners choose to take their dogs on walks, but you can also play games or go for a hike. On top of regular walks, you should also keep their mental stimulation needs in mind. They require lots of mental exercise. Otherwise, they can become bored and try to make their own fun, which may be destructive. Some dogs require more exercise than others due to their age or temperament. Think of these as guidelines—not hard rules. It is critical to begin training your Canedoodle at a young age to build excellent behavior and avoid any behavioral issues. Socialization is crucial to training because it helps the dog feel comfortable and well-adjusted around people, other dogs, and new situations. These canines can be territorial, which makes socialization even more important. We highly recommend puppy training classes for these dogs, as they can socialize your canine and provide training tips. These dogs are more than capable of completing basic and advanced training. Many of them love agility and obedience competitions, which provide them with some extra mental stimulation. While training is necessary because it teaches your dog to be good, it also provides the mental stimulation this breed needs to thrive. While this is a positive quality, the dog must be well-socialized and trained to avoid potentially hostile behavior. Either way, brushing will always be required, though those with more poodle-like coats will need it more. Some may only require weekly brushing, while others must be brushed daily. These dogs will need to be bathed occasionally. Use a gentle shampoo and thoroughly rinse your dog to prevent skin problems. Only bathe your dog when you need to. Check their ears regularly and clean them as needed. These dogs are somewhat prone to ear infections, which can be lessened by cleaning their ears. However, they are prone to a few problems, largely due to their bigger size. Progressive Retinal Atrophy: A genetic disease that affects the eyes, causing gradual vision loss and blindness. Bloat: A life-threatening condition that occurs when the stomach twists and traps air, which can cause a rapid onset of symptoms and be fatal if left untreated. Epilepsy: A neurological disorder that can cause seizures and other symptoms. Keeping your dog exercised and on a healthy diet is vital to minimize these health problems. Regular vet checkups and vaccinations are also vital to keep your dog healthy. Minor Conditions. Because a mix can take on any combination of traits from one of both of the parent breeds, you want to make sure you talk to the breeder about the other parent breed in the mix. Cane Corsos are large dogs that are loyal, protective, and affectionate towards their families. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can likely expect something similar in a Cane Corso Mix. A Cane Corso is a very family-oriented dog breed. Due to their protective and guardian instincts, they are naturally wary of strangers and tend to be most interested and focused on their families. They tend to be quiet dogs that are loving towards their families and get along well children and other pets that are within the family unit. Because of their protective instincts, proper socialization and training are even more important. The other parent breed could throw some other traits into the mix that can affect temperament, so you do want to ask the breeder about them. You can also meet the mother dog to get an idea of what kind of temperament she is modeling for her puppies. Cane Corsos are moderately adaptable dogs. They do well in most climates, but are sensitive to heat and extreme cold. Between their size and guardian instincts, they do not tend to be a good fit for apartments and are better suited to larger homes with fenced yards. The other parent breed could add in some traits that would make a Cane Corso Mix more or less adaptable. Talking to the breeder about the other parent breed in the mix can help give you an idea of what potential range of adaptability to prepare for in a particular litter of Cane Corso Mix puppies. The reality is that a mix can inherit the health conditions common to one, both, or neither of their parent breeds. From the Cane Corso side, potential health conditions to be aware of include cherry eye, hip dysplasia, ectropion, and entropion. As a large dog breed, they are also at risk for bloat. Reputable breeders will screen and test their dogs to avoid passing issues on to puppies. So, make sure you ask them about the health and genetic history of both of the parents. You can also ask about any relevant health test results or clearances. Although Cane Corsos are intelligent and pick up things quickly, they are also known to be stubborn and independent. They have a tendency to test boundaries and need a confident leader who can train and socialize them consistently. This makes them a better fit for more experienced dog owners. The other parent breed could introduce the chance for a more trainable dog, but it will be a potential range and not a guarantee. So, even if the other parent breed is easy to train, you will still want to be prepared to enroll in puppy training classes. A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one parent breed or one that is a combination of both of them. Should a Cane Corso Mix inherit a Cane Corso coat, it will be a short double coat that sheds a little year-round and a lot during seasonal changes. Weekly brushing, with daily brushing during seasonal shedding, and a bath as needed is usually enough to keep a Cane Corso coat looking great. Monthly nail trims are usually enough to keep nails from growing too long. Plus, if anything is happening, you can often catch it early and get to the vet before it becomes a bigger issue. Gum disease in dogs is serious. By practicing good dental care for dogs , like brushing teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day, you can help prevent painful dental diseases and further complications from them later in life. The Cane Corso has a moderate activity level. Daily long walks and some playtime or other activity are usually enough for them. But, they are also a working dog, so they need a job to do and a lot of mental stimulation. The other parent breed could introduce the potential for a lower or higher energy dog. So, you do want to talk to the breeder about them so you know what potential range to prepare for in a Cane Corso Mix. A fully-grown Cane Corso stands inches tall and weighs pounds. The other parent breed can have a big effect on this, especially if they are the mother. Talking to the breeder about the other parent breed and meeting the mother dog in-person can give you an idea of what size to expect in a Cane Corso Mix. Cane Corsos tend to live years. Although the other parent breed may affect this slightly, you can likely expect a similar life span in a Cane Corso Mix.

Maintain A Healthy Weight Keeping your German Shepherd at a healthy weight is likely the most effective way to promote strength in their back legs. The extra pressure can lead to significant joint deterioration over time, especially if they are already experiencing the effects of arthritis or hip dysplasia.

The better your dog feels each day due to optimal nutrition, the easier it is for them to remain active.

Not only is a regular fitness routine essential in maintaining joint and muscle strength, but certain activities are known to improve back leg strength itself. Start Joint Supplements At 1 Year Due to how prone German Shepherds are to painful joint conditions such as arthritis and hip dysplasia, starting joint supplements at 1 year of age can be extremely beneficial. Joint supplements are often most effective when they are used as a preventative measure rather than after joint disease has already developed, as they can help to promote joint strength as the years go by. One of the many symptoms of joint disease is weakness in the hind limbs, so preventing these conditions can ultimately promote back leg strength in the future. Joint disease can lead to significant deterioration of the joints when it is left untreated, so you will want to start a joint management plan from the moment they develop symptoms. By monitoring your German Shepherd for any signs of discomfort, you can establish a joint care plan early in the disease process. By doing so, you can hopefully prevent so much joint damage from coming. Popular Articles:. Bookmark Wobblers Syndrome also called spondylolithesis , is a condition that can affect puppies or adult dogs. They develop an unsteady gait due to spinal cord compression caused by the narrowing of the vertabral canal, or by a ruptured disc in the neck. This causes the vertabral ligaments to become loosened and overstretched hypertrophy to the point of an inability to tauten properly when strength is needed. The vertebrae become malformed, or do not come together properly, which puts pressure on the spinal cord causing gait problems and moderate to severe discomfort. What Causes Wobblers Syndrome in Dogs? Rapid growth in large breed dogs and a predisposition to vertebrae conditions are considered factors for developing Wobblers. The definite causes of Wobblers Syndrome are unknown, but studies show that like other degenerative joint and ligament diseases, there might be a genetic factor hereditary , possible over stimulation, or perhaps even a nutritional imbalance. Great Danes and Doberman Pinchers seem to be most affected, with males twice as prone to the condition as females.

In severe cases, the dog becomes wobbly when he walks and can even fall over when trying to turn. In some cases, the onset of symptoms is sudden, although that is infrequent. The early manifestation of Wobblers Syndrome in dogs can mimic other health problems such as arthritis, hip dysplasia or even an inner ear infection. Wobblers Syndrome is a serious and progressive condition in which an abnormality in the spine pinches the spinal cord. It's rare enough that you or your veterinarian may not recognize its symptoms at first, especially if your dog isn't one of the breeds where Wobblers Syndrome occurs most often. It's difficult to treat, but best if caught early. Why is My Dog Walking Funny? The dog may drag his hind toes as he walks, one of the typical symptoms. The stiffness may seem worse in his hind legs, and he may walk clumsily as if partially paralyzed. Note that he generally won't show signs of pain, such as whining or whimpering in the early stages. Clumsiness Falling when making sharp turns - Watch your dog's movements when turning a corner. A dog with Wobblers Syndrome may seem fairly normal walking in a straight line, but have difficulty making a sharp turn. He may appear drunk or uncoordinated or even fall down when turning quickly. At other times, he may walk with his hind legs spread wider than normal to give him added balance. Dogs with Wobblers Syndrome may carry their heads down or lower than usual and move them stiffly. If your dog is showing the symptoms above and other causes have been eliminated, ask your veterinarian to check him or her for Wobblers Syndrome. Since this disease is due to a compressed spinal cord in the neck, x-rays may help with diagnosis. Your veterinarian may also do a neurological exam and can also advise you about the benefits and risks of other tests, such as a more involved x-ray technique, the Mylogram, which may be more expensive or painful. Most veterinary neurologists today recommend CT scans or MRI scans for accurate diagnosis and localization. Unfortunately there is no simple cure for Wobblers Syndrome, but catching the condition early can help give you and your vet a chance to discuss the options for treatment or surgery to slow down or stop its progress. Prevention The best way to prevent Wobblers Syndrome is to feed large breed puppies a diet that will keep them from growing too quickly. Your veterinarian can help you determine which diet will work best for your dog. Many cases of Wobblers cannot be prevented because they are genetic in nature. It's best not to breed dogs that have the condition as they may pass it to their offspring. Treating Wobblers Syndrome Treatment for this condition can vary, depending on the severity of symptoms. Corticosteroids like prednisone can help reduce inflammation and help eliminate most symptoms. A neck brace can also help in serious cases because it stabilizes the spine and reduces inflammation. Pets suspected of having Wobblers Syndrome should not be walked with a neck collar and should be led exclusively using a harness. In some cases, surgery is recommended. The surgeon will fuse the unstable vertebrae together to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. This option is not always a good choice since other vertebrae can become compromised as a result of the surgery. However, this option provides the most chance for fixing the problem and prevention of any worsening of clinical signs. Your veterinarian will be able to help you determine what treatment option provides the greatest benefit to your dog. Post Treatment Options Since there is not yet a cure for Wobblers Syndrome, dogs suffering from this condition must be managed with medication and restricted activity, especially at times when they are experiencing the most discomfort. In some cases, a dog with mild Wobblers can live happily without treatment, while in other cases, treatment is required in hopes that the dog can live a normal life.

The AKC breed standards for the breed, require German Shepherds to have as close to a degree bend as possible in their hind legs. Unfortunately, this steep angle in the back leg makes German Shepherds more susceptible to back pain and hind leg problems. After years of wear and tear, this makes them prone to serious leg problems as they age. For instance, studies have shown that German Shepherds are five times more likely to develop dysplasia as compared to Labradors, Rottweilers, and Golden Retrievers. A brief overview of these medical conditions: Degenerative Myelopathy Degenerative myelopathy DM is a neurological disease that makes German Shepherds slowly lose control of their hind legs. In the end, the dog may lose control of the urinary and bowel functions, and paralysis is a serious possibility. DM typically occurs in older dogs of about eight years or older, although it may also occur at a younger age. Unfortunately, there is no cure for DM. However, there are ways to reduce the suffering of your GSD because the condition progresses gradually. Therefore, treatment options for DM are geared towards ensuring a better quality of life rather than curing it. Most dogs with degenerative myelopathy will lose the function of their hind legs within six months to two years of diagnosis. Although there is no cure, regular exercise has been shown to improve the quality of life for dogs with DM. As a result, the ball of the hip joint causes pain as it glides roughly against the socket. Signs of hip dysplasia include a wobbly gait, lameness, limping, a decreased range of motion, and pain while walking. The most common causes of hip dysplasia include genetics, leg trauma, and environmental factors. In extreme cases of hip dysplasia, the dog may lose the function of their back legs and require a wheelchair. Arthritis may also occur due to the pressure exerted on the hip joint by hip dysplasia. Since GSDs are prone to hind leg weakness, they are at an increased risk for severe arthritis. Dogs with bad hips and arthritic joints may change their gait and walk lower to the ground, causing German Shepherd legs to appear even more bent. Signs of arthritis in German Shepherds include lethargy, loss of muscle mass in the hind limbs, reluctance to run, jump, or go up a flight of stairs, and stiffness in the hind legs. Prevention of osteoarthritis through proper dieting, exercising, and joint supplements helps to reduce the onset of osteoarthritis. Once osteoarthritis begins, the treatment is geared towards pain reduction, reducing inflammation, and improving the quality of life. Since osteoarthritis is difficult to detect in symptoms until the affected joints are badly affected, it is crucial to keep up with regular wellness visits with your vet. The best way to prevent these diseases is through genetic testing and following good breeding standards. This is possible by checking with your breeder for the hip score regarding hip dysplasia and proper parent matching to avoid degenerative myelopathy. Diet It works wonders for humans, and it will work for your best friend too. Since this breed is already a large-sized breed and the effects of breeding may be unpredictable, maintaining an optimal weight and observing a healthy, balanced diet is a wise precautionary measure. Some of the important dietary options to provide include ample proteins, vitamin D, vitamin K and magnesium, vitamin C, and vitamin E. You should also ensure that the dog food you buy for your German Shepherd is well-suited, with enough calcium and phosphorus for healthy bone development. Your vet may also prescribe bone and joint supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussels, and collagen if they are required. An obese or overweight will experience increased mobility challenges. Second, regular exercise, especially walking and swimming, is important. Lastly, consult your vet on supplements or medications that may slow down the progression of DM. In any case, for these medical conditions , keep an eye out for changes in movement and contact your vet if there are any concerns. Some common symptoms that your German Shepherd may show include a wobbly walk, slipping on the floor, sitting crooked, hips giving way, swelling, lesser muscle mass in the back legs, and having a shorter stride on the hind legs. Remember that most dogs will not express pain or discomfort at first, so it is up to you to spot the symptoms if they do appear — This is especially important for degenerative conditions because when it comes to treatment, the earlier, the better! Regular exercise Regular exercising does two important things for your German Shepherd. One, it strengthens the hind and front leg muscles, and two, it helps you spot changes in the performance of the hind legs. This is the sit-to-stand routine. In this routine, you start with your dog sitting in front of you. Then, you move back a bit and call the dog to you. When he follows, give a treat to keep his interest and, once again, sit him down. Repeat as many times as needed. Taking your dog on daily walks up and down a hill especially or having swimming sessions will also strengthen the leg muscles and help in managing the weight. Hydrotherapy is especially beneficial for dogs dealing with mobility issues. Canine massage relieves fatigue and tension in the hind leg muscles and helps to spot any unrelated pain that may be a sign of something to watch out for. How to massage your dog: Compress the muscle against the bone with your flat hand using both your palms and fingers. Glide your hand along his spine, following the lay of the fur. Apply semi-circular strokes on the muscular areas of the back legs. Using a support harness Sometimes, it is crucial to moderate the pressure that your shepherd applies to the back legs when he moves about. This is where the support harness comes in. A harness helps to remove some of the stress that the dog may be feeling when taking walks, for instance, until the muscles of the back legs are strong enough to take it. The use of the harness reduces the pressure placed on the bad back legs and makes it easier for your dog to walk. Keep them at a healthy weight and ensure they get plenty of exercise. Even if your GSD is battling a degenerative illness affecting his mobility, you can explore treatment and supportive methods that will enable a good quality of life. German shepherds are known as a very resilient and strong breed. Your dog will match and appreciate any effort you put into ensuring his good quality of life. Related Articles:. This will gradually build their hind leg muscles. This forces your dog to put more strain on their back legs, helping to build muscle, and uneven surfaces help improve balance and exercise different muscles. This helps exercise their core muscles as well as their hind legs. This exercise helps to build hind leg muscles. Hydrotherapy is highly effective in building back leg muscles, and classes and facilities are available that specialize in this type of therapy for dogs with mobility issues. Weight Management: Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on joints and prevent injury. This popular joint supplement is often given to large dogs like German Shepherds. Green-Lipped Mussel: When combined with glucosamine and chondroitin, the green-lipped mussel can help reduce pain and maintain joint function in dogs with mobility issues. This supplement supports overall joint health and can help your German Shepherd feel more comfortable moving around. Fish Oil: Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and improve joint health. Vitamin E: Vitamin E can help improve muscle strength and reduce muscle damage. Last fall, Jedi was in bad shape. The two-year-old German Shepherd's health had waxed and waned for months. His owners and local veterinarian saw that Jedi was in pain and suffering from hind limb ataxia, meaning he was losing balance and coordination in his back legs. Assistive Devices: Wheelchairs, mobility harnesses, and slings can provide support and improve mobility for German Shepherds with weak back legs. Recognizing Symptoms of Weak Hind Legs in German Shepherds German Shepherds are prone to hind leg weakness, which can be caused by various factors such as hip dysplasia, arthritis, and spinal cord issues. Limping Or Favoring One Leg: Your German Shepherd might limp or put more weight on one leg to compensate for the weakness in the other leg. Difficulty Standing Or Sitting: Struggling to stand up or sit down can indicate discomfort or weakness in the hind legs. Decreased Activity Levels: A decrease in interest in playing, going for walks, or heading outside may signify discomfort or weakness in the back legs. Swelling Or Pain In Joints: Swollen hips, stiffness in joints and legs, or signs of pain in the back legs can be indicators of an underlying issue affecting hind leg strength. Here are some common causes: 1. Arthritis: This degenerative joint disease can affect German Shepherds as they age. It can cause pain and stiffness in the hind legs, making it difficult for them to move around. This genetic condition can cause the hip joints to develop abnormally, leading to arthritis and hind leg weakness. It can be diagnosed through X-rays. Canine Degenerative Myelopathy: This progressive neurological disease affects the spinal cord and can cause hind leg weakness and paralysis. It is usually seen in older dogs. Diabetes: Diabetes can affect the nerves in the hind legs, leading to weakness and loss of coordination. Fibrocartilaginous Embolism: This spinal cord injury can occur when a piece of cartilage breaks off and blocks blood flow to the spinal cord. It can cause hind leg weakness and paralysis. Limited Mobility: Dogs that are overweight, have poor muscle tone, or have been inactive for an extended period of time may experience hind leg weakness due to limited mobility. To maintain them, provide proper nutrition, exercise, weight management, joint supplements, physiotherapy, injury prevention, and care, and consider alternative therapies or assistive devices if necessary. Common causes of hind leg weakness are arthritis, hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, diabetes, fibrocartilaginous embolism, and limited mobility. Consult a veterinarian if you suspect hind leg weakness. Some German Shepherds may begin showing signs of hip dysplasia as young as four months old, while others develop osteoarthritis as they age. However, in many cases, the signs of hip dysplasia become apparent once the dog is around two years old. To reduce the risk of hip dysplasia in offspring, ensure that only German Shepherds with healthy hips are bred. If you notice your German Shepherd whining when walking , limping, hesitating or showing reluctance when moving its back legs, it may have hip dysplasia. The first sign of pain in young dogs may appear as difficulty climbing stairs, jumping into a car, or exercising freely. If you suspect hip dysplasia, consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Yes, a German Shepherd can recover from hind leg weakness with proper treatment, exercise, and diet. Recovery depends on the underlying cause, and it is best to speak to a veterinarian for a plan of action. Justin Author Justin is a protection dog enthusiast.

Breeds The link has been copied! Are you ready for some puppy talk? If you're a fan of the French Bulldogs, you're in for a treat! These adorable little pups are known for their charming personalities and irresistible squishy faces, but just how many of them can one Frenchie mama have? In this article, we'll explore the fascinating world of French Bulldog litters and answer the burning question on every dog lover's mind: how many puppies can a French Bulldog have? Get ready to unleash your curiosity and let's dive in! On average, a French Bulldog can have a litter size of between 2 to 4 puppies. However, it's not uncommon for some Frenchies to have larger litters of up to 5 or 6 puppies, while others may only have a single pup. French Bulldogs are known for being small, compact dogs with a big personality, and when it comes to their litters, they tend to have a smaller number of puppies compared to other breeds. There are several factors that can influence the size of a French Bulldog's litter, including genetics, age, and overall health. For instance, younger Frenchies and those in peak physical condition tend to have larger litters than older or less healthy dogs. It's worth noting that while having a larger litter may seem exciting, it can also come with some challenges. French Bulldogs, like many small breeds, can experience difficulties during labor and delivery, so it's important for breeders and pet owners to work closely with a veterinarian to ensure a safe and healthy birth for both the mother and her puppies. On average, a French Bulldog can have up to 4 litters in their lifetime, with each litter having between 2 to 4 puppies. This means that a Frenchie can have anywhere from 8 to 16 puppies over the course of their breeding years. However, it's important to note that breeding a dog should be done with careful consideration and only under the guidance of a responsible breeder or veterinarian. Overbreeding can be harmful to a French Bulldog's health, and can also contribute to the problem of overpopulation in the dog breeding industry. It's also important to consider the ethical implications of breeding dogs, including the responsibility of finding suitable homes for each puppy and ensuring that they receive proper care throughout their lifetime. Factors That Affect the Litter Size There are several factors that can affect the litter size of a French Bulldog, including: Age: As a general rule, younger female dogs tend to have larger litters than older dogs. This is because their reproductive systems are more efficient when they are in their prime. Health: A French Bulldog's overall health can play a significant role in the size of their litters. Dogs that are in good physical condition are more likely to have larger litters than those who are not. Genetics: The genetics of the dog can also impact litter size. Some dogs may have a genetic predisposition to smaller litters, while others may be more likely to have larger litters. Nutrition: A well-balanced diet is essential for a French Bulldog's health and can also impact litter size. A dog that is malnourished or underweight may have smaller litters or may experience complications during pregnancy. Breeding frequency: French Bulldogs that are bred too frequently may experience smaller litters due to a decline in fertility. It's important to give the female dog enough time to recover and regain their health between breeding cycles. Breeding method: The method used for breeding can also affect the litter size. Artificial insemination may result in smaller litter sizes than natural breeding. Hormone Imbalance Hormone imbalances can also be a factor that affects the litter size of French Bulldogs. Hormones play a critical role in the reproductive system of dogs, and any imbalances can lead to reduced fertility and smaller litter sizes. One hormone that is particularly important in female dogs is progesterone. Progesterone levels rise during the second half of a dog's reproductive cycle, and they play a key role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy. If progesterone levels are too low, the uterus may not be ready to support a litter, resulting in smaller litters or even infertility. Another hormone that can affect litter size is luteinizing hormone LH. LH is responsible for triggering ovulation, and if levels are too low, ovulation may not occur, leading to smaller litters or infertility. In addition to these hormones, imbalances in other hormones such as estrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone FSH , and thyroid hormones can also affect a French Bulldog's reproductive system and ultimately impact litter size. If a hormonal imbalance is suspected, a veterinarian can perform tests to determine the levels of various hormones and recommend appropriate treatments or management strategies to support the dog's reproductive health. Age Female dogs are most fertile between the ages of 2 and 5 years old, and during this time, they are more likely to have larger litters. As dogs age, their fertility decreases, and they may experience smaller litter sizes or infertility. It's important to note that breeding French Bulldogs before they are fully mature can also have negative consequences. Breeding dogs that are too young can result in smaller litter sizes, and it can also put the mother and puppies at greater risk for complications during pregnancy and delivery. On the other hand, breeding dogs that are too old can also increase the risk of complications and smaller litter sizes. Female dogs that are past their prime reproductive years may have a reduced number of eggs, and their uterus may not be as capable of supporting a large litter. In general, the ideal age for breeding French Bulldogs is between 2 and 5 years old, when the dog is in optimal reproductive health. However, it's important to work closely with a veterinarian or responsible breeder to ensure that the dog is physically and emotionally ready for breeding, regardless of their age. Genetics The number of puppies that a Frenchie has in a litter can be influenced by the genetics of both the female and male dogs involved in breeding. In general, large dog breeds tend to have larger litters than smaller breeds, and this can be reflected in the litter size of mixed-breed puppies. However, French Bulldogs are a relatively small breed, and their litter sizes are typically smaller than those of larger breeds. The genetics of the female dog can also play a significant role in litter size. Some French Bulldogs may be more predisposed to having smaller litters due to their genetics. In contrast, other dogs may be more likely to have larger litters. Genetic testing can help breeders to identify dogs with optimal reproductive health and litter size. Health A Frenchie that is in good physical condition is more likely to have larger, healthier litters than a dog that is not. Dogs that are malnourished, underweight, or have an underlying health condition may have reduced fertility, which can lead to smaller litters or infertility. Proper nutrition, exercise, and regular veterinary care can help to ensure that a French Bulldog is in good health and ready for breeding. It's also important to note that French Bulldogs, like all breeds of dogs, can experience reproductive health issues that can impact their litter size. Conditions such as infections, tumors, or abnormalities in the reproductive system can reduce fertility and result in smaller litters. Regular veterinary checkups and reproductive health screenings can help to identify and address these issues early on, improving the chances of a successful breeding. In addition to physical health, a Frenchie's mental and emotional wellbeing can also play a role in their reproductive health. Dogs that are stressed, anxious, or in poor mental health may experience reduced fertility, and this can impact their litter size. It's important to ensure that the dog's environment is safe, comfortable, and conducive to their overall health and wellbeing. The process of breeding for these colors can be complex, and it often involves breeding dogs that carry specific color genes. For instance, a blue merle French Bulldog may carry two copies of the dilute gene, while a lilac Frenchie may carry one copy of the dilute gene and one copy of the chocolate gene. Breeding for exotic colors or even fluffy coats can also involve the use of artificial insemination or the use of stud dogs that are carriers of the desired color genes. However, it's important to note that breeding for these colors can come with some risks. French Bulldogs that are bred specifically for their color may be more prone to health issues, including skin problems and eye disorders. In addition, the popularity of exotic colors like the platinum coloring has led to an increase in the demand for these dogs, which has resulted in some breeders engaging in unethical breeding practices, such as inbreeding or breeding for extreme physical characteristics. These practices can be harmful to the health and welfare of the dogs and can result in a range of health issues. It's important to work with a responsible breeder who prioritizes the health and wellbeing of the dogs above all else. Breeding for extremely small size can increase the risk of a number of health problems in French Bulldogs, including respiratory issues, hip dysplasia, and spinal problems. Additionally, breeding micro French Bulldogs with a focus on appearance rather than health and temperament can lead to a range of serious health problems that can negatively impact both the mother and the puppies. Responsible breeders prioritize the health and well-being of the breed and carefully select breeding pairs based on factors such as health, temperament, and genetic diversity. Breeding French Bulldogs for extremely small size or for specific coat colors can compromise their health and result in a host of problems that can be detrimental to their overall well-being. Female French Bulldogs typically reach sexual maturity between 6 and 12 months of age. However, it's important to note that while a female dog may be physically capable of breeding at this age, it's generally recommended to wait until the dog is at least 2 years old before breeding. Breeding a Frenchie too early can have negative consequences, including a higher risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery. Additionally, dogs that are bred too young may not be emotionally or mentally mature enough to handle the demands of pregnancy and motherhood. French Bulldogs, like many brachycephalic short-nosed breeds, are at increased risk for complications during natural birth due to the shape of their skulls and bodies. The breed's unique anatomy can make natural birth dangerous and potentially life-threatening for both the mother and her puppies. French Bulldogs have a relatively large head and narrow pelvis, which can make it difficult for puppies to pass through the birth canal. This can result in prolonged labor and increased risk of fetal distress, stillbirth, or death of the mother. In addition to the breed's physical anatomy, French Bulldogs can also be prone to certain health issues that can increase the risk of complications during natural birth. For instance, obesity, poor nutrition, and other health issues can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery. For these reasons, many veterinarians and responsible breeders recommend that French Bulldogs give birth via cesarean section C-section. A C-section is a surgical procedure that involves delivering the puppies via incision in the mother's abdomen, and it can greatly reduce the risks associated with natural birth. The First Month of French Bulldog Pregnancy During the first month of French Bulldog pregnancy, the fertilized eggs travel down the Fallopian tubes and implant in the lining of the uterus. At this point, it can be difficult to detect pregnancy as there are no external signs. However, some dogs may exhibit subtle changes in behavior or appetite. It's important to ensure that the dog is getting proper nutrition and exercise during this time, as this will support the health of both the mother and the developing fetuses. It's also a good time to schedule a veterinary checkup to confirm the pregnancy and monitor the dog's health. The Second Month of French Bulldog Pregnancy By the second month of French Bulldog pregnancy, the fetuses have developed significantly and are about the size of walnuts. The dog's abdomen may begin to swell, and she may exhibit signs of morning sickness or fatigue. During this time, it's important to continue to provide the dog with proper nutrition and exercise, and to monitor her health closely. The veterinarian may recommend additional testing, such as an ultrasound, to monitor the health and development of the fetuses. The Third Month of French Bulldog Pregnancy During the third month of French Bulldog pregnancy, the fetuses continue to develop rapidly, and their organs and body systems begin to mature. The dog's abdomen will be noticeably swollen, and she may begin to experience nesting behavior as she prepares for the birth of her puppies. It's crucial to continue to monitor the dog's health and provide her with proper nutrition and exercise during this time. The veterinarian may recommend additional testing or monitoring to ensure the health and wellbeing of the mother and her puppies. Please Breed Your French Bulldog Responsibly Breeding French Bulldogs is a complex and challenging process that requires careful consideration and responsible practices. The health and welfare of the dogs should always be the top priority, and breeders and pet owners should work closely with a veterinarian or experienced breeder to ensure that the breeding process is done safely and ethically. Breeding French Bulldogs can be a rewarding experience, but it's crucial to approach it with caution and responsibility. Overbreeding, breeding for profit or for the sole purpose of producing exotic colors, and engaging in unethical breeding practices can all have negative consequences for the health and wellbeing of the dogs involved. It's important to prioritize the health and wellbeing of the dogs above all else and to ensure that they receive proper nutrition, exercise, and veterinary care throughout their lives. By working with responsible breeders and veterinarians and by following ethical breeding practices, we can help to ensure a healthy and happy future for French Bulldogs and other breeds of dogs. Final Thoughts French Bulldogs are a popular breed of dog that many people are interested in owning. This is due to their popularity and the high demand for these dogs. If you're on a budget, you may want to consider adopting a Frenchton, which is a crossbreed between a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. These dogs can be just as cute and playful as purebred Frenchies, but may be more affordable. It's also important to note that French Bulldogs often require c-sections to give birth, as their puppies have large heads and broad shoulders that make natural delivery difficult. This can add to the cost of owning a French Bulldog, as c-sections can be expensive and require careful monitoring and recovery. If you're considering getting a French Bulldog or any other dog breed, it's important to do your research and be prepared for the responsibilities of dog ownership. This includes providing proper care and training for your dog, as well as ensuring that you can afford any medical expenses that may arise. Keep in mind that there are many other dog breeds to choose from, each with their own unique characteristics and needs. Consider researching other breeds that may be a better fit for your lifestyle and budget before making a decision. Get more expert advice on pet-parenting by visiting the Off Leash blog at TryFi.

That popularity has made an already expensive breed even more valuable. But why do Frenchies cost so much in the first place? The answer lies in their limited ability to reproduce. The average French Bulldog litter consists of 3 puppies. Although some have successfully carried and birthed up to 7 pups, that happens very rarely. In comparison, the average Golden Retriever produces 8 puppies in a litter. Beagles, for example, typically give birth to 6 puppies at a time while pugs produce 5 pups in an average litter. Frenchies typically carry up to 4 litters in their lifetime. Although their average life expectancy is around 12 years old, they can only breed safely between 2 and 8 years old. That limitation affects the number of Frenchie puppies born each year, which directly impacts the value of the breed. Canadian Moto French Bulldogs wearing Frenchie harnesses. French Bulldogs have difficulty reproducing in large numbers because of their physical conformation. Although organizations like the American Kennel Club and the French Bull Dog Club of America see to it that breed standards are upheld, even the healthiest Frenchies will have trouble breeding naturally and copiously. One of the biggest reproductive concerns in French Bulldogs is their narrow hips. French Bulldogs also have trouble birthing naturally. The large heads that are so often perfectly adorned with Frenchie jewelry make a caesarean section necessary. Additionally, the French Bulldog is among the brachycephalic breeds that have breathing issues simply because of their short muzzles and flat faces. Because of this and the way their bodies are built, pregnancy and birthing can be too stressful on their bodies and could become fatal. The limited number of puppies a Frenchie can produce in her lifetime is one of the biggest reasons why this breed is so expensive. And because fewer puppies mean an even smaller probability of producing rare-colored French Bulldogs, the value of specific pedigrees are even higher. For most of us, that cost means settling for getting our Frenchie fix on social media where canine celebrities provide endless joy as they show off the latest in French Bulldog fashion. Due to this popularity, you may want to breed your French Bulldog to save some bucks since they are expensive. However, the question in your mind will be, "How many puppies can French bulldogs have? Female French Bulldogs can have a maximum of four litters in their lifetime, translating to 12 puppies. Therefore, a female French Bulldog will have 12 puppies before they are considered old to carry more. In the rest of this article, I'll discuss litters as they relate to French Bulldog breeding and the number of puppies. I will also cover the factors that limit a French Bulldog's ability to reproduce. Keep reading to learn more. A French Bulldog will typically have three puppies on average in a litter. This is a low number compared to other dog breeds like Golden Retrievers, which usually have more than eight puppies in a litter. It's worth mentioning that although rare, French Bulldogs can have up to eight puppies in a litter. However, this is considered unsafe owing to the French Bulldog's body size and shape. This means that a French Bulldog carrying more than four puppies at a time is in danger of dying from pregnancy-related complications. As a Frenchie parent, you're interested in knowing how many puppies your Frenchie can have over their lifetime. The number of puppies a Frenchie can have in a lifetime depends on the number of litters. A French Bulldog can have a maximum of four litters in its lifetime. Each of these litters will have an average of three puppies, translating to .Thus, you can expect your Frenchie to give you approximately 12 puppies in her lifetime. It's essential to consider the reproductive age when figuring out the number of pups your Frenchie can have in a lifetime. Most dog breeds, Frenchies included, reach reproductive maturity at six to nine months. Although French Bulldog females usually have their first heat as early as four months old, it's not advisable to breed the dog this early. Breeding a French Bulldog on her first heat exposes her to: Stunted growth Premature aging Complications during pregnancy and birth Even when a French Bulldog has had multiple litters, you should only breed her after two years. For safe delivery and recovery, veterinarians advise that the breeding period should not exceed eight years. However, some breeders inseminate their dogs after eight years to get more puppies. For this reason, knowing the factors that affect litter size will help you decide when to breed your Frenchie. The following are the main factors that affect litter size in French Bulldogs: Hormone Imbalance Frenchie females with a hormone imbalance will often undergo false pregnancies. In most cases, the dog will behave like she is pregnant even though there isn't any puppy inside her. Hypothyroidism is a hormonal imbalance problem in dogs that causes weight gain, lethargy, and depression. In extreme cases, it can cause abortion or decreased litter size in females. Age The older your French Bulldog gets, the smaller the litter size. Dogs bred between two and five years have larger litters because they are still young with more active reproductive hormones. By the time the dog is six years old, the litter size decreases significantly as the reproductive hormones become less active. Genetics Genetics play a role in determining your dog's ability to have puppies at any point in its lifetime. If both parents have a small litter size, you'll most likely have fewer puppies from your Frenchie mom. A mother with a bigger and broader family tree will have bigger litters. Therefore, you're more likely to get larger Frenchie pups if the mom comes from a family of bigger French Bulldogs. Health Healthy dogs can carry healthier and larger puppy litters. For example, your Frenchie can have a healthier and bigger litter if she has good nutrition. That's why it's essential to feed the dog with high-quality pet food throughout pregnancy. You may have questions like: When is the right time to breed my Frenchie? What are the steps to take in preparing for this process? What should I expect when giving birth? To make the experience smooth, here are the two crucial steps to follow: Artificial Insemination Apart from the hassles of looking for an appropriate and healthy stud dog, the narrow hips of French Bulldogs make natural mating hard. As a result, most Frenchie parents rely on artificial insemination. You must get a canine veterinarian to draw sperm from the stud dog and insert it into the female's reproductive tract. This process is usually done two to three times for positive results. The veterinarian will also be in charge of monitoring the pregnancy's progress. Therefore, you must keep in touch with your veterinarian to monitor the dog's progress and prepare for labor. French Bulldogs have a gestation period of approximately 63 days. The day your Frenchie goes into labor will be significantly different for each dog. Besides being responsible for the C-section procedure, your vet will guide you on what to expect during this period. Furthermore, they will take you through how to deal with any complications that may arise after delivery. It's worth mentioning that taking your Frenchie mom through natural birthing can expose them to dystocia. Unfortunately, 1. Factors That Limit a French Bulldog's Reproductive Ability Two to four puppies in a litter is a low number compared to other dog breeds. Why do French Bulldogs have such a small litter size? Read on to find out the limiting factors. Physical Conformation The physical nature of French Bulldogs makes it challenging for them to reproduce in large numbers. French Bulldogs have narrow hips. Although these hips make the dog beautiful, they hinder natural mating. This explains why these dogs are bred through artificial insemination. It's also hard for French Bulldogs to birth naturally due to their large heads. Consequently, most French Bulldogs undergo cesarean section C-section procedures. Due to their large heads, whelping your Frenchie mom naturally is a risky affair that can lead to: The pups getting stuck in the birth canal The mother suffering from complications such as hemorrhage or uterine rupture Injuring the pups Therefore, although costly and risky, C-section is the most humane option for helping your Frenchie canine give birth. Brachycephalic Breed Frenchies are among the brachycephalic dog breeds. Brachycephalic dog breeds have short nostrils and flattened muzzles with longer bottom jaws than the top ones. Due to their squished face, these dogs have difficulty breathing and cooling. This makes them prone to overheating. Moreover, the squished face exposes most of these dogs to Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome BOAS. This syndrome makes breathing a struggle, leading to challenges in carrying pregnancies and giving birth. Prenatal Care for a French Bulldog Your Frenchie's prenatal care should start as soon as she is pregnant. Here are some key areas to focus on: Diet Your dog needs a high-quality diet to support her pregnancy. A healthy, natural diet will strengthen the dog's body, allowing it to accommodate the mom and pups. Pregnant dogs need the following nutrients : Calcium: 1 to 1. Johnny Facts 0Comments Dog owners have been guilty of irresponsible breeding far too many times — especially today. Some people are just looking to make money fast, without thinking about the consequences it might have on their poor pups. That being said, how many litters can a French bulldog have? How often can your Frenchie have babies? Continue reading to find out! You see, the litters are smaller due to Frenchies being a brachycephalic breed. On average, French bulldogs have three puppies at once — and anything over five babies is an extremely odd number. On top of that, most Frenchie puppies will be delivered via a C-section. The French bulldog is a brachycephalic breed — which gives these dogs a short skull, flat face, and a short nose. These breeds are typically smaller, making them have fewer puppies in every litter. The female dogs have even smaller bodies and narrower hips, anatomically preventing them from having a larger litter. And to add to that, having more than three puppies in a litter could result in only a few puppies surviving. The puppies will likely be small and underweight, struggling to get milk from their mother. Some irresponsible dog owners will try to get more liters out of their poor French bulldog, but we advise against it because of many health complications that may follow. The mother should be given 18 months for recovery before breeding again. However, that is completely wrong! Their bodies have likely not been developed enough to carry to term — which could endanger their lives. French bulldogs are ready for breeding when their heat patterns become regular, usually at about two years of age. Having a C-section will put your Frenchie through significant amounts of stress, which can affect how she feels for the remainder of her life. Even more so, the actual surgery could be accompanied by complications such as infections or hemorrhaging. The point is, having puppies way too often can put your Frenchie in danger. Your female French bulldog needs enough time — meaning at least 18 months — to recover from giving birth and having surgery. Giving birth is extremely stressful for Frenchies — which is why it should be taken seriously. If the French bulldog had her next litter 12 months after the last one, the puppies would not be recognized. French bulldogs have become extremely popular in the past few years. Along with that, many irresponsible breeders showed up, producing litters at the stake of the mother. We advise you to do a check-up on every breeder you find before you pick your French bulldog. Pups have to come first, not profit — and you want to ensure that you are getting a healthy pooch from a breeder that takes good care of the dogs! When not writing, he enjoys hiking and time in nature with his pets. And French Bulldogs are becoming increasingly popular in Europe and elsewhere also. So there is a huge and growing demand for French Bulldog puppies. But French Bulldogs are not like most dogs in terms of how they are bred and how the puppies are delivered. If you are thinking about breeding your Frenchie, this is definitely the article you want to read first. French Bulldogs are very hard to breed and whelp deliver. A healthy and sturdy French Bulldog female adult may have up to three litters as long as the veterinarian advises it is safe to do so. Some females will only have one litter in their lifetime. Trying to breed a French Bulldog female more than three times risks the life of the mother dog as well as the health and lives of her puppies. See a Litter of Adorable French Bulldog Puppies Just in case you haven't had your dose of cuteness overload today, watch this precious video of a new French Bulldog mama dog with her four perfect Frenchie puppies. You will notice the family mentions their dog, Bella, who has just given birth and is coming home from the veterinarian. And you will see that Bella has a pink bandage around one paw. Pregnant French Bulldogs typically cannot give birth naturally because the puppies have heads and shoulders that are too wide to pass through the birth canal. So typically French Bulldog puppies are delivered by C-section in a veterinarian's clinic. This is very important to know when you are planning to breed your French Bulldog, as we will go into more detail about here shortly. Just looking at a French Bulldog, it might not be immediately obvious how the same traits and characteristics that make this dog breed so popular are the same ones that can be such problems in breeding. As we mentioned in the earlier section here, often the French Bulldog mama dog will struggle to deliver whelp her puppies naturally. Even though French Bulldog puppies are very small, the mama dog is quite small herself! A fully-grown French Bulldog rarely weighs more than 28 pounds. These dogs are much broader in the head and chest area than in the hindquarters, which means the puppies often don't fit easily into the birth canal. But there is an even bigger issue that must be tackled first: insemination. French Bulldogs have shortened legs and curved backs with heavy heads and deep chests that make them top-heavy. French Bulldog stud male dogs can have a very hard time mounting a female in heat to inseminate her naturally. Even if the stud dog is able to mount the female nature, as Breeding Business explains, the stud dog may still struggle to get her pregnant. If there are so many challenges right from the start, you may wonder how French Bulldog puppies are ever born. Step 1: artificial insemination The process typically starts with artificial insemination. This is not unlike the process for people. The French Bulldog female is inseminated by a canine veterinarian and monitored carefully as her pregnancy progresses. Here, unless you happen to own a breeding pair of French Bulldogs yourself, this also means you will need to seek out an appropriate stud dog male dog to contribute sperm for artificial insemination. There can be some substantial costs involved even at this early stage, especially if the stud dog you choose is not local to your area. Step 2: cesarean section whelping According to the Journal of Small Animal Practice , up to 80 percent of all French Bulldog litters are whelped born through veterinarian-assisted cesarean section, or C-section. While C-sections for dogs have their own risks, especially for dogs with the brachycephalic short muzzle shape like the French Bulldog, they are considered a less risky method of whelping than letting the French Bulldog deliver naturally. As well, the Royal Veterinary College in the UK explains that French Bulldogs are nearly 16 percent more likely to suffer through difficult and dangerous births, including dystocia. Dystocia is a condition where the pregnant female dog is literally unable to pass her puppies naturally through the birth canal and out. Sadly, up to one-quarter of puppies will not survive a dystocic pregnancy. Veterinarians reported that 1. Step 3: human-aided puppy rearing There is another much less well-known side effect to artificial whelping via cesarean section: a lack of oxytocin that bonds the mother dog to her puppies. Giving birth naturally produces a flood of oxytocin, aka the "feel-good hormone" — the same hormone that bonds human mothers to their children before and during birth. When a French Bulldog gives birth artificially, she is under sedation during the birthing process. So she does not experience the flood of oxytocin that will prompt her to bond with her puppies and care for them. You saw some of this in the video you watched earlier here as the couple was introducing Bella, the new French Bulldog mama, to her puppies. Bella sniffed one of the puppies but then seemed uninterested. You may have also noticed that the human breeders praised her for showing any interest in her puppies. It is not uncommon for French Bulldog mother dogs to refuse to care for their puppies, either because they lack the oxytocin bonding or simply because they don't feel good after having a major operation like a C-section delivery. This means that the human breeder has to care for the puppies around the clock. The care required includes bottle feeding puppy formula several times per day, stimulating the puppies to go to the bathroom, keeping the puppies warm, and cleaning the puppies. If a female dog rejects her puppies, then the survival of those puppies is entirely in the hands of the human breeder. Sometimes these puppies will grow up to have additional socialization issues because the mother dog was not involved in their early rearing. As the French Bulldog Club of America points out, the earliest it is safe to breed a French Bulldog adult female dog is two years old. This doesn't mean that your French Bulldog won't come into heat be receptive to breeding earlier than that age. But expert breeders believe it is much safer to wait until your dog is older and has gone through at least one heat cycle before breeding. Breeding is physically demanding for any female dog of any breed. But it is even more demanding for short muzzle brachycephalic dog breeds like the French Bulldog. As you now know, the French Bulldog female will likely have to go through artificial insemination just to get pregnant. She will need careful monitoring throughout her pregnancy. And she will likely need to deliver by cesarean section under sedation. Ideally, she should also be strong and healthy enough to nurse her puppies for at least five weeks until they begin the natural weaning process and transition to puppy food. You definitely don't want to breed your French Bulldog until she has completely finished growing and is in the prime of her life and health. With such high demand for French Bulldog puppies, it is only natural to wonder if there is money to be made by going into business breeding French Bulldogs. However, if this is your primary reason for wanting to breed your Frenchie, you should be aware that breeding a brachycephalic dog breed like the French Bulldog can be incredibly expensive. As the French Bulldog Club of America points out, breeding Frenchies can be so difficult that new breeders must be willing to try with zero guarantees that they will be successful. From this statement, it is easy to infer that even if you make money selling the puppies, you are likely to break even at best in terms of what it cost you to breed those puppies. To add even more challenges, French Bulldogs are not known for having large litters. A young French Bulldog may have a single puppy or just two or three puppies. More than that is very rare. Not only does this explain why French Bulldog puppies can be so expensive to buy , but it also means that if you can't charge enough to recoup all of the breeding and surgical costs, you may actually end up paying to breed your Frenchie! Then when you consider that your French Bulldog can safely have puppies only three times or less over her 10 to year lifespan, it is easy to see how breeding French Bulldogs is not typically considered to be a profit-making endeavor. Ultimately, unless you are simply doing it for the pure love of the breed, breeding French Bulldogs is not the best choice for a pure money-making enterprise. It is not uncommon for a French Bulldog owner to want to breed their dog to have puppies that are just like their beloved Frenchie. After all, most Frenchies will only live until age 10 or 12 and breeding can feel like a way to keep your beloved pup close to you for a lot longer than that. Here, it is vital to remember that whenever you breed your French Bulldog, there is a risk to the mother dog as well as to the puppies. First, there is a risk during the initial pre-screening and testing process when you have to make sure your French Bulldog female is healthy and has high-quality genes to pass along to her puppies. Then there is a risk during the process of artificial insemination, whether you choose to try to do it yourself at home or take your dog to the veterinarian to have it done. There is another risk during whelping, especially if your dog needs a C-section delivery with anesthesia and stitches like most French Bulldogs do. There is yet another risk after whelping when your Frenchie mom dog may develop secondary infections or complications from the sedation anesthesia or the operation itself. There is even another risk to the puppies if whelping happens too early or too late and the puppies do not survive the process of being born. And there is a risk to the puppies of failing to thrive if your French Bulldog mother is not willing to take over their care and you have to do it yourself. There is no time off when you have hungry puppies to feed and care for — not until they are weaned at around the age of five weeks can you expect to get any break. Many breeders actually take time off work just for this purpose. If all of this doesn't sound like a fun and rewarding challenge to you, then you probably should reconsider whether to breed your French Bulldog. So the short answer to the question of how many times can a French Bulldog has puppies is "three times — and only after she reaches age two. You should only decide to breed your French Bulldog female if you have the interest, the time, the budget, and the patience to see your French Bulldog through the whole pregnancy and delivery process from beginning to end.

It is common for pregnant French Bulldogs to be unable to give birth naturally because their puppies have wide heads and shoulders that prevent them from passing through the birth canal easily. It is normal for French Bulldog puppies to be born by C-section at a veterinary clinic. The following information is crucial if you intend to breed your French Bulldog. Importance of understanding litters in French Bulldogs Understanding litters in French Bulldogs is important for several reasons: Health Concerns: French Bulldogs have a small gene pool and are prone to certain health issues such as breathing problems, skin allergies and eye problems. Knowing the average litter size and potential health issues of a French Bulldog can help owners prepare for and prevent any potential health problems. Financial Planning: Breeding and raising a French Bulldog litter can be expensive and requires careful financial planning. Knowing the average litter size and associated costs can help owners determine if breeding is a financially viable option for them. Responsible Breeding: French Bulldogs are a popular breed, and responsible breeding practices are important to ensure the health and well-being of the breed. Understanding litters helps owners make informed breeding decisions and can help prevent overpopulation and inbreeding. Proper Planning: Planning for a litter involves more than just deciding to breed your French Bulldog. Proper planning involves the preparation of the mother and puppies, the preparation of the breeding environment, and ensuring that adequate resources are available to care for the litter properly. Understanding litter helps owners plan and prepare properly. What is so difficult about breeding French Bulldogs? The traits and characteristics that make a French Bulldog so popular can also be the ones that cause problems with breeding them. Looking at a French Bulldog, it might not be immediately evident what can cause problems. When fully grown, a female French Bulldog rarely weighs more than 28 pounds. This means in most cases. They are subjected to c-sections cesareans. French Bulldog litters are typically born via veterinarian-assisted cesarean section in up to 80 percent of cases. Despite the risks associated with C-sections for dogs, especially those with brachycephalic short muzzle shapes such as the French Bulldog, they are considered a safer way to deliver puppies than letting the French Bulldog deliver naturally. Further, the Royal Veterinary College states that French Bulldogs have a 16 percent higher risk of suffering difficult or dangerous births. Having your Frenchie has too many C-sections is completely irresponsible if you intend to breed your dog. You run the following risks: A C-section is not always successful, and there is a risk to the puppies during the procedure. Following a C-section, your French Bulldog can become stressed and perhaps even aggressive. A negative reaction to anesthesia, blood clotting during surgery, hemorrhaging, or wound infection are all possible complications for your French Bulldog. Being a mother and giving birth are emotionally and physically demanding times. Aside from the scarring from the C-section, your female will need time to recover from giving birth to a litter. Additionally, she will have to re-grow parts of her uterus and strengthen her muscles. Early in pregnancy, many females experience muscle wasting and even fur loss. Frenchies should only be bred every 18 to 24 months, allowing them enough time to recover from their surgeries. How many litters can a French Bulldog have per year? Because of this, the female Frenchie needs to recuperate after giving birth. She may have come into heat, but that does not mean her body is ready to carry a litter so soon. As I mentioned earlier, French Bulldogs should only be bred every 18 months to 2 years. The longer we wait, the greater her chance of recovering, being healthy, and being happy without the constant stress of frequent C-sections. You should not plan to breed your dog until at least her second or third heat. The third heat is a good time to begin breeding for a few reasons. The health of a young dog can be negatively affected by excessive breeding because they are still growing to their full adult size. In addition to testing for different medical conditions, responsible breeders should also ensure that the dogs reach adulthood first. The breeder may have to do more work to care for a female dog that is too young, which could result in behavior problems with the puppies if the mother does not give them proper attention. Dogs typically gestate for around 63 days after conception, although this may vary by several days. Even though this seems an obvious answer, conception can be difficult to determine. Sperm and eggs can stay fertile in the female for up to 48 hours, so mating itself is not an actual measurement of gestation. As a result, it is nearly impossible to predict how long a pregnancy will last without veterinary assistance. Factors affecting litter size There are several factors that can affect the litter size of French Bulldogs: Age of the mother: Younger French Bulldog mothers tend to have smaller litters, while older mothers tend to have larger litters. A healthy mother is more likely to have a larger litter. Size of the breed: French Bulldogs are a small breed, and their small size can affect litter size, leading to smaller litters compared to larger breeds. Stud used for breeding: The stud used for breeding can also impact litter size. Some studs may produce smaller litters, while others may produce larger litters. Nutrition and environmental factors: Proper nutrition and environmental factors such as temperature and stress levels can also affect litter size. Genetics: Genetics also play a role in litter size, and some French Bulldogs may tend to produce smaller litters. It is important to remember that litter size can vary greatly and may not be predictable, even with the best planning and preparation. It is important to seek the advice of a veterinarian or a professional breeder when planning a French Bulldog litter. Variations in litter size Variations in litter size are common in French Bulldogs and can range from a single puppy to as many as six or seven puppies. There are several factors that can cause variations in litter size, including: Genetics: Some French Bulldogs may have a genetic tendency to produce a smaller or larger litter, which can impact litter size. Poor health or malnutrition can lead to smaller litters, while proper care and nutrition can lead to larger litters. Age of the mother: As a French Bulldog mother age, her litter size may decrease. This can be due to hormonal changes and a decline in overall health. Breeding conditions: Environmental factors such as stress levels, temperature, and breeding conditions can impact litter size. Multiple breeding partners: If a French Bulldog is bred with multiple partners, it can result in variations in litter size between litters. It is important to remember that variations in litter size are normal and can greatly impact the financial and emotional resources required to care for a French Bulldog litter. Preparing for a French Bulldog Litter Preparing for a French Bulldog litter involves proper planning and preparation, including preparing the mother and puppies, the breeding environment, and ensuring that adequate resources are available to care for the litter properly. This can involve seeking veterinary care and proper nutrition and ensuring that the breeding environment is safe and comfortable for both the mother and the puppies. Proper preparation is crucial for the health and well-being of both the mother and the puppies and can help ensure a successful French Bulldog litter. Some key steps include: Seek veterinary care: Before breeding, it is important to consult with a veterinarian to ensure that both the mother and stud are in good health and free of any genetic health issues. Prepare the mother: The mother should be in good health and receive proper nutrition to ensure a successful pregnancy and delivery. Choose a stud: Choose a stud that is in good health and free of genetic health issues. Consider size, personality, and health factors when selecting a stud. Prepare the breeding environment: Ensure that the breeding environment is safe, comfortable, and free of any potential hazards for both the mother and the puppies. Ensure resources are available: Caring for a French Bulldog litter can be expensive and time-consuming. Ensure adequate resources, including finances and time, are available to care for the litter properly. Develop a plan for the puppies: Develop a plan for the care of the puppies, including finding homes for the puppies and ensuring that they receive proper veterinary care and nutrition. Proper planning is crucial for the success of a French Bulldog litter and can help ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the puppies. Importance of pre-breeding health checks Pre-breeding health checks are important in preparing for a French Bulldog litter. Early detection of health issues can help ensure that appropriate treatment is available. Improving the chances of a healthy litter: By ensuring that both the mother and stud are in good health, the chances of a healthy litter are improved. Reducing the risk of genetic health issues: Pre-breeding health checks can help to reduce the risk of passing on genetic health issues to the puppies. Making informed breeding decisions: Pre-breeding health checks can provide important information that can help make informed breeding decisions. This can include information about the health of the mother and stud, their age, and other factors that can impact the success of the litter. It is important to seek the advice of a veterinarian or a professional breeder when planning a French Bulldog litter and to ensure that pre-breeding health checks are performed to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the puppies. Providing proper nutrition and care for the mother Providing proper nutrition and care for the mother is crucial for the success of a French Bulldog litter. Some key steps in providing proper nutrition and care for the mother include: Proper nutrition: The mother should receive a balanced and nutritious diet to support her health during pregnancy and lactation. This can involve feeding her high-quality dog food specifically formulated for pregnancy and lactation. However, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise during the later stages of pregnancy. Ensure that she has a comfortable and quiet place to rest and sleep. This can include regular check-ups, prenatal care, and treatment for any health issues that may arise. Ensure that she is in a calm and comfortable environment and avoid exposure to stressful situations. Proper nutrition and care can help ensure the health and well-being of the mother during pregnancy and lactation, which can greatly impact the health and well-being of both the mother and the puppies. It is important to seek the advice of a veterinarian or a professional breeder when planning a French Bulldog litter and to ensure that proper nutrition and care are provided to the mother. The cost of raising a French Bulldog litter can vary greatly depending on the specific needs and circumstances of the litter. Still, it is important to be prepared for the associated costs and to plan accordingly. Initial costs of breeding and caring for a litter The initial costs of breeding and caring for a French Bulldog litter can be significant and can include the following: Pre-breeding health checks can include health exams, genetic testing, and other screenings for both the mother and stud. Breeding expenses include stud fees, artificial insemination costs, or travel expenses for breeding the mother. Veterinary care: This can include prenatal care, delivery costs, and care for any health issues that may arise during pregnancy or lactation. Housing and supplies: This can include a comfortable and safe place for the mother and puppies, bedding, and other necessary supplies. Marketing and advertising: This can include expenses for advertising and promoting the litter and costs for preparing and distributing promotional materials. It is important to know the initial costs of breeding and caring for a French Bulldog litter and to plan accordingly to ensure that adequate resources are available to provide proper care and support. The cost of raising a litter can vary greatly depending on the specific needs and circumstances of the litter, so it is important to seek the advice of a veterinarian or a professional breeder to obtain a more accurate estimate. Ongoing expenses for food, vaccinations, and veterinary care Ongoing expenses for food, vaccinations and veterinary care are an important part of raising a French Bulldog litter and can include the following: Food: Puppies will require a high-quality and nutritious diet to support their growth and development. This can be a significant ongoing expense, particularly as the puppies grow and their nutritional needs change. Vaccinations: Puppies will require a series of vaccinations to protect them from common illnesses and diseases. This can be a significant ongoing expense, particularly as the puppies grow and require additional vaccinations. Veterinary care: Ongoing veterinary care is crucial for the health and well-being of puppies. This can include routine check-ups, treatment for any health issues that may arise, and preventive care to help ensure the puppies stay healthy. These ongoing expenses can add up quickly and be a significant financial investment. It is important to be aware of these costs and plan accordingly to ensure adequate resources are available to provide proper care and support for the puppies. It is also important to seek the advice of a veterinarian or a professional breeder when planning a French Bulldog litter to obtain a more accurate estimate of the ongoing expenses associated with raising a litter. Conclusion In conclusion, breeding French Bulldogs can be a rewarding experience, but it is important to understand the associated costs and responsibilities. From the initial expenses of pre-breeding health checks, breeding expenses, and veterinary care to the ongoing expenses for food, vaccinations, and veterinary care, the cost of raising a French Bulldog litter can be significant. It is important to be prepared for these costs, plan accordingly, and seek the advice of a veterinarian or a professional breeder to obtain a more accurate estimate of the expenses associated with raising a litter. Proper planning, preparation, and attention to the needs of the mother and puppies are crucial to ensure a successful litter and to provide the best possible care and support. Pin 0 Shares I am not a breeder of Frenchies. However, there are many irresponsible breeders out there including French Bulldog owners looking to make a quick buck. One of the most common questions people like this ask is how many times you can use a Frenchie for breeding. Professional and qualified breeders will tell you the following: How many times can you breed a French Bulldog? Responsible Frenchie breeders will not breed their French Bulldog any more than 3 times in a lifetime, and only once every 18 months at a minimum. Any more than that and the dog will struggle to recover physically, and possibly even mentally. Why you should not breed French Bulldogs too much The reasons for the minimum amount of times you can breed a French Bulldog are varied, but all boil down to care and love. The danger of too many C-sections The majority of French Bulldog puppies are delivered via Cesarean section. This is due to the way in which the female Frenchie has been bred herself over time. They have narrow birth canals and the pups have large heads. C-sections are the easiest and safest way for them to deliver a litter. As a French Bulldog breeder, it is totally irresponsible to put your female Frenchie through too many C-sections. The risks are as follows: Stress: the female can become stressed and possibly aggressive after a C-section. Too many procedures could have a negative effect on their mental health. Medical problems: your dog could have an adverse reaction to anaesthetic, could have blood clotting during surgery, haemorrhaging, or a wound infection. Injury to the pups: not all C-sections are successful, and there is also a risk to the puppies during the procedure. Did you know? C-sections can be very expensive. Read this guide to how much you should expect to pay your vet to deliver a Frenchie litter via Cesarean section. Bodies need time to repair themselves The birth and nursing period post-pregnancy is critical to the health of your French Bulldog. Giving birth and becoming a mother is a highly charged time both mentally and physically. As well as the scars from the C-section, your female will need to recover from feeding her litter and will also have to re-grow parts of her uterus and build her muscle tone back up. Pregnancy and motherhood can take a toll on the female. This is why you should not breed your French Bulldog too many times. During the early stages of motherhood, many females will lose muscle tone and even patches of fur. It acts as a governing body for pedigree dogs, holding the national register of all breeds. They are very explicit about how many times you can breed a French Bulldog officially, where they will be prepared to register the puppies. The Kennel Club will no longer register any further litters from any bitch which our records show has already whelped 4 litters. Where the number previously recorded is 4 or more, the application will be rejected. The mother is younger than 1 year old at the time of birth. The puppies are born due to familial inter-breeding e. The mother has already delivered 2 litters via a C-section. How old does a Female French Bulldog have to be to breed? When can French Bulldogs breed and what age should they have to be? Frenchies can safely breed from the ages of 2 and a half years up to 8 years of age. At this point they will have gone through a number of heat cycles and will be ready to breed. This beautiful little girl is not old enough to be bred yet. They can produce sperm as young as 6 months, but you need to wait until they are older to breed them successfully. How many times a year can you breed a French Bulldog? Having spoken to professional Frenchie breeders, the general consensus is that you should only breed French Bulldogs once a year — and even that frequency is probably far too much. The reason being is that the female Frenchie needs to recovery after giving birth. As I mentioned earlier, you should only really breed a French Bulldog once every 18 months to 2 years. Anything more than that could be considered cruel, and this extended healing time gives her the chance to recover, be healthy, and be happy without the stress of frequent C-sections. Boxer 6 — 8 This table shows that breeds like Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds tend to have larger litters compared to Frenchies. Variations Based on Specific Factors Just like people, every Frenchie is unique and various factors can influence the total number of puppies in each litter. Here are some key factors: Health: As mentioned earlier, a healthy mother will usually have a larger litter compared to one with health problems. Age: The age of the mother can also impact the size of her litter. Older dogs 5 years and exceeding may have fewer puppies than younger ones. Genetics: Some dogs naturally produce more offspring due to their genetic makeup. But just how many puppies do French bulldogs have? The range of puppies in a French bulldog litter can vary widely. You might be wondering why that is. Frenchie Litter Sizes: The Basics Typically, a female french bulldog will give birth to three or four puppies in a single litter. Some litters may have as few as two puppies while others could boast up to five or six. So what causes these variations? Several factors come into play: Genetics: Just like human families where some have twins or triplets more commonly than others, some dog breeds are predisposed to having large litters. Age: Younger female dogs 17 months or younger tend to have smaller litters compared to their older counterparts. Health: A healthy mother equals healthy pups! Dogs with good overall health and nutrition may produce larger litters. But wait! Are there instances when the number of French bulldog puppies goes beyond the typical range? Surgical insemination is exactly as it sounds. They go in and place the semen right on the eggs. This is an invasive surgery and requires 2 week recovery time like a spay would. Selective Breeding: Breeders sometimes selectively breed dogs with a history of large litters in hopes of replicating the result. Large litters can pose risks for both mother and pups such as difficult labor, higher risk for congenital defects, less attention per puppy. I whelped a litter for a friend. The dog had previously had a litter of 3 perfect puppies in her first litter. The second litter, conceived by surgical insemination, was 10 puppies, with a cocktail of problems, heart murmurs and other defects that caused failure to thrive. I think 6 of the 10 puppies made it. The parent paring was exactly the same, but insemination method was different. Make sure your females are getting adequate nutrition from the moment she completes her first breeding through the first 30 days. These dogs are known for their brachycephalic short-nosed features, which can lead to health concerns during pregnancy and birth. A responsible breeder understands that these adorable pups are prone to complications such as dystocia, or difficult labor, often requiring veterinary intervention like C-sections. Great General Health is Imperative Other factors such as vaginitis and bladder infections are common but if left untreated can cause problems for pups as well if bacteria travels up into the uterus. Before Portia was bred in she had some vaginitis. After c section, I was told the placentas on 2 of the 3 pups were dark green and just gross. General Daily Health is Extremely Important French bulldogs are more susceptible than other breeds to things like pancreatitis and yes pancreatitis can cause a dogs pregnancy to fail, along with other serious health issues such as stroke, organ failures, and death. When breeding you need to make sure your dog is in tip top shape not only to carry her pups but to also produce healthy pups. Why would you want it any other way anyway?! They may need a totally different protein, different fat content, different feeding schedule. Make sure your dogs are getting the proper amount of exercise as well. An underweight dog can be just as sick as an over weight dog as well with nutrient deficiencies, low bone density, and more. These things pass on to puppies, why take that chance. Why put that on a pup and new owner knowingly? In alone I have seen 3 dogs get diagnosed with pancreatitis, one of which is severely overweight. Only 1 of the 3 dogs had a successful pregnancy. Litter size plays a significant role in the well-being of both mother and pups. On the flip side, too small a litter might indicate underlying health issues. Breeders need to strike that balance — not too big, not too small — just right! In contrast, irresponsible breeders might overlook these risks for quick profit — leaving unsuspecting new owners grappling with hefty vet bills down the line. As mentioned above health is the most important factor. Their large heads and narrow hips make natural birth a challenge. Infections, blood loss, and anesthesia complications are some risks associated with cesarean sections. Newborn Frenchies may face difficulties such as low body temperature or breathing problems post-surgery. Believe it or not, anesthesia actually affects the pups as well. You need to find an experienced reproductive veterinarian who works with french bulldogs regularly. Knowing the proper dosage of anesthesia is extremely important for both mom and puppies. Too much can hurt both and cause puppies to be slow to wake or not wake at all. Pregnancy itself is taxing on their bodies due to potential complications like eclampsia or dystocia. Here are some health issues that can arise from cesarean sections: Infection: Surgical sites may become infected if not properly cared for. Hemorrhage: Blood loss during surgery is common but can lead to severe problems if excessive. Anesthesia complications: Adverse reactions to anesthesia can occur during or after surgery. Anesthesia Reaction- muscle contractions, she was fine but it did freak me out. A call to my vet confirmed it was only from anesthesia, and not to worry This Photo is minor compared to some of the incision problems I have seen on facebook. Sutures need to be on the inside with sutures or vet bond on the outside. Also, not just 1 long single string of sutures. The weight of the body is too much for one string. Sometimes the pups have so much spit it disrupts the glue seal. This one was a quick easy fix, but if you notice anything wrong with the incision site, call your vet immediately. Breathing problems: Puppies might have difficulty breathing post-surgery due to fluid in their lungs. During the last c section we had 1 pup that was slow to wake due to the cold. Once he was brought to proper temp, everything was fine and he is thriving! Below is a photo of him now! Reproductive Limitations of a French Bulldog Physical Constraints and Fertility French Bulldogs, adored for their compact size and expressive faces, face significant reproductive health challenges due to their unique physical attributes. The narrow hips characteristic of the breed often lead to problems during the birthing processes. This reduced fertility is primarily why artificial insemination and cesarean sections are commonly practiced. As such, many breeders resort to artificial insemination. Frequency of Litters The frequency at which a female French Bulldog can safely have litters is another factor that impacts their reproductive system. Rest Periods: Some people claim having a rest period between litters is necessary. With my vets permission, I have not done this. Portia, one of our smaller females, has more time in between heats. This past heat took 10 months to come back around. The average litter size? Usually around pups. But it can range from 1 to even 8 in some cases! On extreme rarity I have seen .Risks like birthing complications are common due to their unique physique, often necessitating C-sections for safer deliveries. They have their reproductive limitations which should be respected for their health and welfare. So there you have it! On average, a French Bulldog will have puppies per litter. Q2: How often can a French Bulldog safely have litters? Q3: Why do many French Bulldogs require C-sections for delivery? French Bulldogs often require C-sections due to their narrow hips which can complicate natural birth. X ray will give you the best chances of predicting and knowing litter size. Q5: Are there risks involved in breeding French Bulldogs? Yes, there are risks such as birthing complications which may require veterinary intervention like C-sections. Unlike people though, an expectant dog mum-to-be has her work cut out for her, as she rarely, if ever, gives birth to a single puppy. The number of puppies that a bitch has is dependent on several factors, namely size the bigger the breed of dog, the more puppies they tend to have in a single litter and the physical characteristics of a breed. There are, however, no absolutes in nature, which means that the number of puppies that a French Bulldog has per litter can vary. The breed has a higher than average possibility of developing a condition called dystocia, which is similar to a breech birth in humans, but far more dangerous. French Bulldogs are up to twenty percent more likely to suffer from dystocia during pregnancy, which is one of the main reasons why your veterinarian will suggest that you opt for a C-section for your Frenchie. Giving birth is just as hard for a dog as it is for a human, and during and after the birth, your Frenchie will need to breathe harder and faster in order to ensure that her body has the oxygen it needs to make it through and recover from the trauma of having a litter of pups. For a brachycephalic dog like the Frenchie, this is much harder than it is for a normal dog and puts the mother at a much greater risk of cardiac arrest, which again is why most veterinarians will suggest that the safest option for any Frenchie mother is always a C-Section. The procedure also carries a risk to the puppies and can put their lives in danger as well, so the fewer C-sections that your dog has to endure, the more likely she, and her puppies, are to emerge from one unscathed. Which most Frenchies are. Always insist on seeing the paperwork, and the mother dog before you agree to buy a puppy. Before we begin, a word of caution. Most Frenchies tend to reach maturity between eighteen months and two years of age, which is why most breeders tend to let their dogs mate between the ages of two and seven. The typical gestation period the length of a pregnancy for a French Bulldog is between sixty and sixty-three days, and the dog can enter labor at any point during that time. In the first month of her pregnancy, you might notice that your Frenchie starts to become even more affectionate than she already is and that her appetite has increased. Her appetite might start to wane toward the end of the second month, as her body starts to prepare to give birth. Post navigation. Dogs of this nature tend to be smaller, and also have smaller amounts of puppies. And with French bulldog dams the females they have very narrow hips and small body. If a female Frenchie does have a large litter of over 3, there can be health implications for the puppies. They will probably be underweight, with the weaker ones in the litter struggling to get the milk they need during the first few weeks of being born. How many times a year can a French bulldog have puppies? How many litters can a French bulldog have in a year? They should not have any more than 1 litter a year, and most preferably every other year. Because they are delivered via C-section, the female needs time to recover and recuperate, so anything intensive is just cruel and designed to make money. For more information on Frenchie C-sections, click here. How many litters can a French bulldog have? Most female Frenchies have around 4 litters in total, although I have heard of irresponsible breeders who try to get more from them. This litter size of 4 puppies is quite normal, with the average amount of puppies being 3. If you are thinking about buying a French bulldog puppy, talk to the breeder and find out how many litters she has had. How long is a French bulldog pregnancy? Frenchies very rarely give birth naturally, with most puppies being delivered by C-section. A French bulldog pregnancy the gestation period i. She will typically deliver by Caesarean section and will have on average around 3 puppies in her litter. Frenchie breeders will often use artificial insemination to get their females pregnant, as this breed find it very hard to mate naturally due to their narrow hips. You can read more about how long a Frenchie is pregnant for elsewhere on the website. When people say a dog is in heat, what they actually mean is that they are in their oestrus cycle. It is very similar to when a human female gets a period. When a Frenchie dam is on her oestrus cycle it means she has gone into heat and will accept a mate and could end up getting pregnant. French bulldogs go into heat from the point they reach sexual maturity. The regularity of their oestrus cycles tends to be every 6 months on average but will vary from dog to dog. It can take up to 2 years for a French bulldog to develop regular heat patterns. Female French bulldogs can gain sexual maturity as young as 5 months old. At that point, if they have started to have regular oestrus cycles, they are at risk of getting pregnant. Do French bulldogs always need C-sections? If your French bulldog does have puppies naturally, it can be very dangerous for both the female and the litter. Handy Hint: French Bulldogs mating naturally is a very rare occurrence. It can lead to health risks too. Find out more about why Frenchies should not breed naturally in this new blog post. The last word French bulldogs make for great companions and pets. If you browse other guides on the website, you will see plenty of photos and videos of Claude, our own Frenchie. However, in recent years their popularity has exploded, and this has led to an increase in unscrupulous breeders who use irresponsible methods of breeding. This can result in poor health — read the various health problems that Frenchies are prone to. If you are thinking about buying a Frenchie, please do your research into the breeder before you even consider buying from them.

Their looks can range from just slightly darker than a regular Pomeranian all the way to just slightly furrier than a regular Pug including all the adorable possibilities in between. They make a great family dog and, for those with no family, a cuddly companion. If these adorable balls of fur intrigue you trust us, if you are a fan of cute, Pom-a-Pugs will intrigue you then read on to learn more. Some versions of this mix come out looking no more different from a Pug, except for being furrier, or a Pomeranian, except for their darker color. However, there are some unique looks among the middle range. On average, a Pom-a-Pug will keep the long, thick fur, small size, and facial construction of their Pomeranian ancestors. These features are mixed with the squished face and darker coloring of their Pug ancestors. Getting down to specifics, the average Pom-a-Pug weighs between five and sixteen pounds and will measure eight to thirteen inches tall. Their coat will be short or medium-length and smooth to semi-course to the touch. However, the Pug side of their ancestry has suffered from health problems, from weight to breathing problems, which can shorten their lifespan. When taking both sides of their health history into account, we can see that the Pom-a-Pug will enjoy a medium-length lifespan at worst and a long one at best. You can expect your mix to live between eight and fifteen years. As mentioned before, their coat can range from short to medium-length and soft to semi-course feel. At the very least, we recommend you give your Pom-a-Pug a thorough brushing once per week. When bathing them, be sure to use shampoo meant especially for dogs free from harsh chemicals. Temperament The temperament of a Pom-a-Pug is perfectly suited to be an affectionate family dog or an energetic and cuddly companion dog. They often display a calm demeanor and a loyal and obedient attitude, always eager to please their owner. As a bonus, Pom-a-Pugs often have keen senses and a sharp alertness of their surroundings. They can act as guard dogs by warning their owners to abnormalities before they become dangers. Exercise Needs Pom-a-Pugs are energetic breeds and can turn rambunctious when not given the proper amount of exercise. A typical day would require you to take your mix for a moderately long walk to drain their energy stores. In terms of living space, Pomeranian-Pug Mixes require a medium-sized area to play and run around indoors. This does not mean, though, that they cannot do well in apartments. If they have had their walk appetite quenched, they are more than happy to laze around a small apartment all day. To keep your Pom-a-Pug mentally stimulated, we recommend you engage them in playful activity for at least thirty minutes each day. This can offer some bonding time as well and make your pet even more eager to please you. Health Risks As cute as they are, Pug-Pomeranian mixes are not free from health risks. There are several important health risks to watch out for that are common in this breed. When their leg is fully flexed, the kneecap can become out of place, causing pain and discomfort. Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca Dry Eye is, as the name suggests, a severe dryness in the eye. This can also cause redness, itchiness, irritation, and blurry vision for your dog. Pom-a-Pugs can also suffer from other minor diseases and injuries, but they are not as common as the above ailments. If you suspect your mix has these or any other illnesses or injuries, be sure to consult your veterinarian immediately. Feeding Your Pomeranian-Pug mix will be more than okay eating a bag of dry dog food tailored to small dogs. They will eat a cup of this dry food per day. Be sure to not feed them table food as their digestive system may not handle it. You can break the one cup of dry dog food up into different meals throughout the day, at your discretion. If your pet likes a morning and evening meal, go with two. If they like eating more often, go with breakfast, lunch, and dinner installments. Are Pug Pomeranian Mixes Protective? Despite their small size, some weighing as little as three pounds on the very light side, Pom-a-Pugs can be fairly effective guard dogs. Their alertness can help them warn their owner to anything out of the ordinary far in advance. Do not depend on your Pom-a-Pug to scare off any potential intruders, though. Mix that with strong loyalty to their owner and you will get a protective dog, even if the worse they can do is annoy someone away with their yipping. Being a designer breed, the Pom-a-Pug can come with a hefty price tag attached. That being said, there is a significant price range breeders sell these mixes at. As with any responsibility in life, the costs do not end there. Much like many important questions in life, only you know the perfect answer to this question. However, we can give you some tips to help make the deciding process easier. If you are in the market for a smaller-sized dog that is loyal, friendly, and compatible with families or as a companion dog and are not shy of the potentially high price tag, then the Pom-a-Pug is a great choice for you. Any climate in the U. The Attention a Pug Pomeranian Mix Needs Besides their exercise needs a moderately long walk each day , Pom-a-Pugs also need social interaction and play to keep them mentally stimulated and help them bond with their owners and family. For at least thirty minutes per day, engage with your pet. Whether that engagement is playing games and activities with them or petting them as you sit on the couch is up to you. Either extreme will help you and your Pom-a-Pug grow closer and develop trust. Compatibility with Kids Pom-a-Pugs can be patient and affectionate pets. This makes them a great complement to children. This breed will be able and more than happy to play games with your kids while avoiding unnecessary aggression. Their guard dog alertness is a great layer of protection. They will look after your children like one of their own and warn of any potential dangers to them well in advance. Compatibility with Other Animals Pom-a-Pugs are highly compatible with other pets, dogs and cats alike. Especially if they are raised with the other animal, they can form close bonds with them.

Temperament The Pug Pomeranian mix is a loving family dog emerging as a perfect companion, owing to its affectionate and charming personality. Having a calm disposition, they are extremely loyal towards their owners, always eager to please them. These well-mannered dogs mingle well with children as well as other pets. Having a very versatile personality, they are playful on one hand and at the same time have show a relaxed attitude. These small-sized dogs might inherit the alert nature of their parents and alarm their owner at the sight of an intruder. Care Exercise The Pug and Pomeranian mixes are playful and active loving to run around the house or an open space, thus requiring moderate amount of exercise daily. However, they do well in apartment life since they like to laze around and relax. Grooming This low maintenance breed are easy to manage, not requiring to be groomed much. Being moderate shedders, brushing two to three times in a week would help in keeping their coats soft and clean. Other grooming needs include keeping their eyes and ears clean, taking care of their dental health as well as bathing them when necessary. Health Problems The Pomeranian and Pug mix breeds are generally healthy with no known genetic issues. Though they have a short muzzle just as their Pug parents, they still are not too prone to respiratory disorders. Besides seasonal allergies they might suffer from dry skin during fall and even winters. Training These intelligent dogs would not be a hazard to train as they may pick up lessons easily because of their willingness and urge of making their masters happy. You can crate train your Pomeranian Pug mix puppies as they are extremely close to their owners and might be prone to separation anxiety like their parents when left alone. Crate training would even make housebreaking easier. Try throwing his favorite toys inside the crate along with delicious treats so that he finds everything familiar inside and is willing to spend more time there. Once your dog has a good knowledge of commands, teach it how to go to a certain place like his play mat. Engage it with interesting activities so that it may be willing to sit there unless you ask it to get up. These affectionate dogs can be taught how to plant a kiss on your cheeks without salivating much or licking you. Put your cheek in front and wait for your pet touch it with its nose. Pull yourself away so that he does not get a chance to lick you, give him a treat to reward his endeavor. However, if your dog is into the habit of nipping, this activity is not recommended, particularly for children. Feeding Give them half to one cup of dry dog food daily along with a diet containing vitamins and other nutrients. However, as they have a tendency of over eating make sure you keep a proper check on their diet. Lifespan Sociability Beware when going to view a litter of Pom-a-Pug puppies, as you are almost certainly going to bring one home. These gorgeous little pups are irresistible, and even just one may not be enough! Pomeranians used to be bigger. It may be hard to believe, but these little pint-sized pooches are originally descended from large, Spitz-type sleigh dogs. They were originally bred as sheep-herding dogs and used for sledding, but they became popular among royals in the 18th Century. Queen Victoria is often credited with the creation of the modern Pomeranian, as she is said to have owned a particularly small Pom, and consequently, this made them much sought after. The Queen is not the only famous Pomeranian owner, as they are known to have been the loyal companions of Michelangelo, Martin Luther King, and Mozart. Pom-A-Pugs are bred for companionship. Pugs were first bred almost 2, years ago, purely as companions. They have been loyal, loving, and devoted companions to humans ever since. A Pug is happiest on the lap of their owner. Although larger Pomeranians were first bred as working dogs, the pocket-sized modern Pom was bred as a loyal companion to the Queen. The combination of these two dogs is sure to result in the ultimate companion breed! Pugs have ancient roots. The Pug lineage stretches as far back as BCE, and most believe that they were first bred in ancient China or Tibet, where they were kept as loyal pets by Buddhist monks. Chinese Emperors kept Pugs as lapdogs, and they were consequently treated like royalty, with some sources claiming that they had their own miniature palaces and even personal guards. They can be rather protective of their owners and may take a while to warm up to strangers. Due to their heritage of companionship, they tend to become attached to one person and may act skittish around new faces. They have a strong desire to please, and despite their strong companionship instincts, they can exhibit independent natures at times. As long as their owner is within sight, they will enjoy going about their own business in the yard, sniffing out strange scents. Are These Dogs Good for Families? They love kids and are known to perform endless tricks to get their attention. Their tiny stature and incredible acceleration abilities will keep the family playing for hours, both indoors and in the backyard. Although these dogs love to run around in the open, they are highly adaptable animals that make great pets for apartment living or families with small back yards. The fierce loyalty and devotion to their role of dedicated companion may cause them to display assertive aggression at times, although these dogs have a bark that is infinitely bigger than their bite, and this usually leads nowhere. That said, they will occasionally pick fights with bigger dogs due to their larger-than-life personalities and will often get more than they bargained for. This is why they need to be well trained from an early age —not because they are inherently aggressive, but because they are extremely loyal and protective. Temperament Affectionate, friendly, loving, playful, and good with children. Pug mixed with Pomeranian makes one small dog, so you can expect a relatively light dog easy to carry around. Its ears may either be erect if it takes on the Pomeranian side and Floppy if the Pug side. The color can be unpredictable, and you can expect to either have a pure black or tan dog or sometimes a combination of both. Moreover, since Pomeranians are fluffy dogs, you can expect your dog to look like a pug but with a fluffy coat. Most of the time, however, you can expect the right combination of features of both dogs. Just make sure, however, to give them regular brushing to prevent fur tangling. The most important thing you need to know about Pug mixed with Pomeranian is their personality. Overall, their temperament is a great asset for the breed, as they can get along with almost anyone without any problem. They are incredibly loyal and affectionate, but can sometimes be stubborn and mischievous too.

As for standard Whoodles, their adult height can be anywhere between 18 and 20 inches while their weight is estimated to be around 35 to 50 pounds. This size classification is due to the fact that Poodles also come in different standard sizes. These include toy, miniature, and standard Poodles. Since the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier is a medium-sized dog, a mini Whoodle is only possible with the genes of a smaller Poodle. Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers stand at around 18 to 19 inches tall at the withers and weigh between 30 and 40 pounds. Miniature Poodles can only reach 11 to 15 inches tall and weigh around 15 to 17 pounds. Mini Whoodles have a single coat of hair which is generally dense. If they take on the genes of their Poodle parent, their hair will appear curly and the coat can come in a variety of shades including black, chocolate, apricot, silver, or spotted. Their coat colors are usually lighter and can be any shade of wheaten which ranges from pale beige to yellowish gold. You might also find some red, white, or black hairs in the muzzle and ears which can occasionally have blue-gray shading like the cute pup below: Photo from xnolanchristopher IG One important thing to note is that they are usually born with a darker solid coat which fades to a lighter shade when they get older, typically at two years old.

Meanwhile, Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers were popularized in Ireland during the s as herding dogs. As designer dogs became more popular, mini versions of Whoodles were favored to cater to owners who want a smaller dog with the same attributes as the standard size.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy PRA : This term refers to a group of degenerative diseases that affect the photoreceptor cells of the eyes. When left undiagnosed, PRA can lead to blindness. Owners should look for early signs such as night blindness, clumsiness in dim-lit areas, and abnormal dilation of the eyes.

Because of their silky, medium-length fur, brushing and grooming should be scheduled regularly. This should be done on a daily basis for better results. Hair trimming, on the other hand, should be done every 8 to 12 weeks to avoid unnecessary and unhygienic shagginess. Ear infections are also common in mini Whoodles so you should clean their ears regularly. And like with other dogs, you should trim their nails every two weeks and brush their teeth daily or give them dental chews. They are quite expensive than standard Whoodles because breeders need to be selective when finding a miniature Poodle to mate with a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier.

The dogs grew so popular there that people imported them to France, which is why many associate the breed with that country. Poodles were not always as pampered and snobby as they are today. Breeders initially worked with Poodles because they could handle a variety of jobs and were good hunters. As their coats are resistant to water, they could dive into murky lakes to flush out wild game and hunt when the weather was less than perfect. Those coats also help them in the water and might explain why Poodles love swimming so much. Poodles rank as one of the smartest dogs in the world too and are easy to train. Many farmers at the time had Irish Wolfhounds , which were large and sometimes hard to control.

Though you might assume that all Whoodles act the same, their personality and temperament can vary. Some of the original breeders had a hard time figuring out how big the dogs would grow and how they would act as adults. They slowly picked the best dogs from previous litters and bred them to make dogs that shared some of the same qualities. Most of the hybrid dogs that are now available act in much the same way. Selective breeding also helped regulate the sizes and colors of these dogs and made sure that puppies would grow up to become loving adults. The American Kennel Club and similar organizations officially recognize both of the parent dogs. The AKC only recognizes purebred dogs and does not recognize any mixed or hybrid breed. This will keep you from entering your dog in any event sanctioned by that organization. You should ask the breeder how much experience they have with this breed and if the puppy belongs to a specific generation. Most breeders are so new to this area that they are on their first or second generation. Knowing the generation is important because it can help you determine how your puppy will act and look as an adult. Those from the first generation will typically take after one parent breed more than the other. This results in a dog that is larger in size or more stubborn. Breeders who have Whoodle parents can produce litters that are more regulated in terms of size, temperament and appearance. Litter Size Whoodle puppy litters typically have around five babies, but some mothers can have a total of seven or more puppies. If the mother experienced problems during her pregnancy or is small in size, she may have a smaller litter. Miniature Poodles can have as few as two to three puppies per litter. You may find Whoodle puppies and adults through Poodle rescue groups too. These rescue groups often accept mixed breed dogs as long as one of the parents was a Poodle. The group may have little information about your new dog though and have a hard time letting you know about its overall health or temperament. You may need to consent to a home visit or meet with the group too to show that you can handle the needs of the dog.

Vets more commonly see this condition in older dogs and recommend that owners let their senior pets spend more time relaxing and less time walking. As Whoodles do not shed, they can suffer from ear infections caused by debris that becomes trapped in their ears. Debris can travel through the ear canal and cause some pain and inflammation.

The intention was probably to get smaller varieties of the soft-coated wheaten terrier while maintaining its hypoallergenic coat and intelligence. Both of these are also characteristics of the poodle, but while the standard poodle is a little larger than a wheaten terrier, toy and miniature poodles offer the possibility of breeding a smaller dog. The wheaten terrier was bred in Ireland beginning in the s to be an all-purpose farm dog and they are good for herding, guarding, and hunting. Broad interest in the breed only began in the 20th century after the breed was recognized by the Irish Kennel Club in and the UK Kennel Club in .They were also exported to the United States in the s. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America was established in , and they have been popular show dogs since then. Poodles originate from Germany or France and were popular in both countries beginning in the 17th century initially as wildfowl hunters, then as circus performers, and eventually as lap dogs. They are considered to be among the most intelligent breeds , and they have thick, wiry coats that do not shed so they are sometimes referred to as hypoallergenic. Poodles come in a variety of sizes including standard, which can be as tall as 24 inches, and toy, which can measure less than 10 inches in height. Whoodle Size And Appearance Whoodles can range in size from 12 to 20 inches depending on their parent dogs. Wheaten terriers measure inches in height and weigh pounds. While standard poodles can be as large as 24 inches and weigh up to 70 pounds, toy poodles can be as small as 9. Whoodles are often bred to be at the smaller end and will weigh between 20 and 45 pounds. While poodles are known for their curly and wiry coat that is low-shedding, soft-coated wheaten terriers also have a low-shedding coat but it is soft and lightly curled. Breeders will try to promote the soft-coat feature in mixed-breed pups, but their hair will probably be curlier than a standard wheaten terrier. Wheaten terriers have distinctive coloring. While puppies are often born with dark coats in red, brown, or mahogany, this will grow out and become completely white before they grow into their adult wheaten color. At around the age of three, they will start to develop darker tips that are called guard hairs. Poodles are much more varied in color, and thanks to this, whoodles can also come in a range of colors including black, brown, red, silver, gray, and cream. Wheaten is still considered a desirable color among whoodles. Whoodles are likely to have a medium-length muzzle with long floppy ears and a black button nose. They have an athletic build, but this can sometimes be hard to make out under their luscious, curly fur. Intelligence And Temperament Both poodles and soft-coated wheaten terriers are considered highly intelligent dogs. They both like to please, which means they respond well to positive reinforcement training, but they are also good at figuring things out on their own which can result in a stubborn streak. These characteristics are passed down to whoodles, which are smart dogs that can learn tricks quickly but also like to get their own way. Whoodles are highly affectionate and will bond with their families quickly. They are good at reading social cues and so do well with children , but they do need to be socialized with animals such as cats from a young age since the wheaten adds a strong prey drive into the mix. It is also worth being aware that whoodles will probably jump up and lick when greeting people, which can be a problem with smaller children. They need plenty of love and affection to thrive. Energy Levels Whoodles are high energy pups that need lots of exercise to stay happy and healthy. Depending on their size, they need between 30 and 45 minutes of exercise each day. They tend to enjoy swimming and spending time in the water and this can form a great part of their exercise. Keep an eye on their temperature while exercising in the hotter months; excessive panting is often a sign that they are overheating. They also benefit from having quite a bit of space at home to move around in, but due to the relatively small size of whoodles, they do adapt well to apartment living. They also have a good understanding of their own size, so they are unlikely to accidentally break things. They should be brushed daily and have their coats cut every four to eight weeks. This can also help them to keep cool since they can have a tendency to overheat in hot weather. You should try to limit them to a bath once a month, but this can be hard if they like to play in the great outdoors. Brushing and wiping them down with a wet cloth can help prolong the time between washes since excessive washing can strip their coats of their natural oils. Their floppy ears need to be cleaned regularly, and their nails also tend to grow quickly! Should I Adopt A Whoodle? Is the whoodle the right dog for you? Whoodles adapt well to apartment living as long as they get enough exercise, and they are relatively easy to train and control, making them appropriate for first-time owners. In addition to these, there are a few other things to consider. Do you have time to spend with your whoodle? Do you have time to exercise your dog? They need at least minutes of exercise a day and will be happy with even more! Can you commit to regular grooming? Whoodles require minor daily grooming, plus regular visits to the doggy salon for an overall trim. This can be both time-consuming and expensive. Do you have cats or small children? While whoodles can do well with both, they need to be socialized from a young age and can have an unfortunate tendency to jump up in greeting, which can be a problem with smaller children. Consider your answer to these questions and then make your decision! How Much Is A Whoodle? They are highly desirable dogs, but the population is much smaller than that of other breeds such as labradoodles and goldendoodles, which accounts for the high cost.

History of Whoodles The Whoodle breed appeared around the mids, making it a relatively newer addition to the canine kingdom. The idea was to create a dog breed with the soft coat of a Wheaten Terrier and the natural intelligence of a Poodle. On the other hand, the Wheaten Terrier has been bred since the s in Ireland, with its primary purpose being that of a herding dog. This breed craves company and wants to be in a social environment to interact with people. This canine is a confident breed and has strong leadership qualities. Training a Whoodle requires a lot of patience as they can come across acting as if they know better. A Whoodle does not like being yelled at, so you should train them with encouragement and kindness. This is key to establishing a healthy friendship with your canine. Size of Standard and Mini Whoodles Despite being a small breed, you can find Whoodles in a variety of sizes. If the Poodle parent is bigger, then you get a bigger Whoodle as well. Therefore, you will find the various types of Whoodle, which include: The standard Whoodle — standing at approximately 21 inches tall and weighs between 45 and 55 pounds The mini Whoodle — is about 18 inches tall and weighs around 35 to 40 pounds Other breeds include Toy Whoodle, Teddy Bear Whoodle, etc. An average height of both male and female Whoodle can reach up to 21 inches tall, whereas the weight may range between 20 and 60 pounds. Health of Whoodles Although healthy in general, Whoodles may suffer from some health conditions during their life. The breed inherits some of the health issues from both parent breeds. This condition causes the dog to experience seizure episodes manifesting as loss of consciousness and convulsions. However, if your dog is epileptic, you can diagnose it between the age of 1 and 5. That said, there are medications that can control the seizures and give your dog a good quality of life. You just have to remember that, like any other breed, you must take really good care of your Whoodle and take them for veterinary checkups regularly. Care Required Speaking of health and preventing illnesses in your Whoodle, you must be proactive in taking care of your canine. Keeping up with the general grooming and regular checkups with a local vet will ensure that your dog stays in good health. This practice will also help detect any signs or symptoms of a health issue in an early stage. Registering your Whoodle with a local veterinary care service will allow a vet to develop a healthcare plan to ensure that your canine member of the family always stays in good health. You must take your Whoodle out for regular walks as the breed is quite energetic and needs a considerable amount of exercise to burn that energy off. You must try to aim for a minimum one-mile walk on a daily basis. The more you can fit in, the better, but 1 hour is the bare minimum. A Whoodle is a naturally playful breed, so you can help them stay active with indoor playtime. Another aspect of care required for Whoodle is regular grooming. This is important because both parent breeds, soft-coated wheaten terrier and poodle, are high maintenance dogs. Another thing to keep in check is regular nail trimming.

However, you must formulate a diet suitable for a medium-sized dog breed.

An expert veterinarian facility will be able to recommend the right portion of food you must feed your Whoodle every day. Therefore, you will find the coat to be silky on the touch. Speaking of the color of the coat, you can find a Whoodle with black, brown, cream, red, and silver-grey coats. Rarely, but you may also come across a Whoodle with a spotted coat. While whoodles have a medium-length coat, their silky fur requires that you brush them daily. Do you or a family member suffer from allergies? Ideal Climate Ideally, a Whoodle would prefer to live in colder weather. If you live in a hotter climate, you must take precautionary steps when taking your Whoodle for a walk. This will reduce any risks of heat exhaustion. Whoodle with other Pets Whoodle is a social breed and usually lives in harmony with other pets. Nevertheless, you must train your Whoodle to undergo appropriate socializing training from a young age to create a habit of socializing with other pets.
