The boxer was the seventh most popular dog breed in the U. So named for the way it stands on its hind legs and bast at an obstacle with its front paws, the boxer is beloved by many for both its loyal, playful and intelligent behavior and its strong physical characteristics. Particularly notable in its appearance is its broad nose and blunt muzzle. Breed Standard For all dog breeds, there is a detailed description, called the breed standard, of the perfect example of that dog breed. The breed standard is what judges use in dog shows to determine which dog is the best representative of its breed. The breed standard spells out everything from the ideal dog's gait and personality to body proportions. General Appearance The breed standard describes the "ideal" boxer as a "medium-sized, square-built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. It has a proud carriage and alert expression. Overall, the dog "combines strength and agility with elegance and style. The breed standard states, "The chiseled head imparts to the Boxer a unique individual stamp. It must be in correct proportion to the body. The broad, blunt muzzle is the distinctive feature, and great value is placed upon its being of proper form and balance with the skull. Muzzle and Nose According to the standard, the top of the muzzle should not slant downward, nor be concave. The tip of the boxer's nose should lie slightly higher than the root of the muzzle. The nose should be broad and black. Boxers do not have long noses nor long muzzles. Aug 18, Share Boxers were originally bred in Germany as guard dogs in the 18th century. This medium to large-sized dog was bred as a cross between the Bullenbeisser dog now extinct and the Bulldog. The Boxers we know and love today for their silliness and energy have emerged from a Molosser-type dog that was used in hunting. It is important to note that officially there is only one type of Boxer breed that has different bloodlines. Sometimes, these bloodlines are mixed, while other times they are absolutely pure. There are no variant types or official sub-categories in the official sense. However, there are plenty of morphological differences among Boxer breeds to consider. Below are the different types of Boxer dog breeds and their differences. The 3 Types of Boxer Dogs 1. The dog is preferred for its slightly larger frame as compared to the UK and American Boxer. The bones are dense and large, which helps give the musculature a slightly more pronounced definition. The width of the thigh in this breed is slightly wider as compared to others. A feature typical to German Boxers is the length between their skull and snout. The length is exactly in the ratio of in German Boxers with a pure bloodline. The snout, in comparison to other types, is smaller than the American Boxer and wider than the UK Boxer type. United Kingdom Boxer Dog A post shared by Boxergone boxergone Defining characteristic: Considered the most elegant among all Boxers, owing to its high knuckles atop small feet This breed is also called the English Boxer or British Boxer. The UK Boxer stands out for being more lithe, sleek, and athletic as compared to other Boxer breeds. It has a slender musculature and a stylized body that allows for further agility and precise movements. English Boxers have the highest knuckles of all other variants. They are also thought to be the smallest with thinner and shorter legs. However, this does not mean that they lack strength or speed. However, it was the first one to be given official recognition in by American Kennel Club. The breed is the easiest to recognize among all other variants, thanks to the lack of wrinkles in adult dogs. Their coat is also denser, brighter, and stronger than English and German Boxers. The American Boxer stands differently from the English Boxer. This is because of the shape of its ankles, paws, and knuckles. However, it is easy to confuse American Boxers with German Boxers since both of them have the same stance. How about a UK Boxer? The answer is very little. All are considered to be 1 breed: The Boxer. However, each of these 3 Boxers have very slight differences. Dogs of these countries are bred to perfect these slight variances. With German Boxers, the nose is generally smaller; however only by a very small degree. The width of the thigh is slightly wider than the other types. As you can see, the skin other than the head has no wrinkles. Most, but not all, will have a tighter coat. The American Boxer, as well as the German Boxer stands differently than the UK Boxer due to the shape of the paws, knuckles and ankles. FAQ Are there different breeds of Boxers? The answer is no; there is only 1 Boxer breed. There are even dogs with all 3 types in the bloodline. How do I know which type of Boxer I have? If you obtain your Boxer from a professional Boxer breeder they will most certainly tell you which bloodlines they are breeding. Some do focus on just one certain style and will obtain dam and sires of that bloodline.What type of Boxer conforms to dog show standards? It depends which country you are in. In America, the judges tend to base their opinions on not only the American breed standard, but how the dog compares to others most commonly seen at shows. The written breed standards for many clubs can be applied to all 3 styles of Boxers. Some will say that U. Do breeders ever mix bloodlines? Some breeders who live by the rule that a Boxer is a Boxer, will mix bloodlines. Others hold a strict standard to never mix at all and work to preserve a strong line without any other types being mixed in. Many dogs have both American and European bloodlines.And with all of the breeding that has occurred over all of the past generations, one would be hard pressed to locate a dog that does not hold a trace of 2 or even 3 of the different bloodlines somewhere, even if it is very far back in the pedigree. Which type is the best? Generally, temperament is the same across the board. There are some that will say one type has more energy than the other, or one bloodline has more aggressive tendencies, however this has nothing to do with UK vs US or anything of the sort, it only has to do with the particular dog. There is no one to judge which Boxer breed type is the best; it is all a matter of personal taste. Someone living in America may have a gorgeous German Boxer and visa-versa.

These dogs can be broadly categorized by having a heavy bone set, naturally hanging pendent ears, a rather short and well-muscled neck, and a short broad muzzle. The compact muzzle places the Boxer in the Brachycephalic group, though to a lesser degree than other short-nosed breeds. The tail is naturally long, with only about half of Boxers in the U. The ears are naturally pendant, of moderate size, with very few in the United States being cropped to create shorter, erect ears. He is considered a medium to large breed in the Working Dogs category, with a short, tightly-packed coat. Puppies have a roundish, soft appearance and adults are well-muscled. Expected Appearance Per Breed Standards The breed standard serves two main purposes; it is a guideline for breeders in their efforts to produce dogs that fit close to the ideal to work towards the 'betterment of the breed' and it is used as a guideline for judges when evaluating dogs in the show ring. So, to first understand Boxer dog appearance, let's take a quick look at some excerpts from both the AKC and FCI Boxer dog standards: AKC: The ideal Boxer is a medium -sized, square - built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. His well - developed muscles are clean, hard, and appear smooth under taut skin.His expression is alert.The chiseled head imparts to the Boxer a unique individual stamp. It must be in correct proportion to the body. The broad, blunt muzzle is the distinctive feature, and great value is placed upon its being of proper form and balance with the skull.Substance — Sturdy, with balanced musculature. Males larger boned than females. FCI: The Boxer is a medium sized, smooth coated, sturdy dog of compact, square build and strong bone. His muscles are taut, strongly developed and moulded in appearance.The Boxer must be neither cumbersome nor heavy, nor light or lacking in body substance. In addition, the measurement from the top of the withers shoulder blades to the floor is about equal as from the middle of the chest to the rear of the upper thigh. Size Though there are guidelines in regard to how tall a Boxer 'should' be and what his adult weight 'should' be, many Boxers do fall below or above this. In regard to height, per AKC standards, males are to be inches .In regard to weight, the AKC does not list any certain weight. However, most adult male Boxers will fall in the pound range and females will be slightly smaller, often between pounds. You do need to keep an eye out to make sure that a Boxer is at a healthy weight as being overweight brings along quite a few health issues; however, most large Boxer dogs simply have large bone structure. Modifications - Ears The US is one of the few countries in which ear cropping is legal; and in show, ears may be cropped or natural. More often than not, those who believe that a Boxer may do well in the show ring lean towards cropping the ears many judges do prefer this, independent of the standard's non-bias verbiage. Photo courtesy of Terry Faircloth Modifications - Tail Similar to ear cropping, tail docking is illegal in many countries; however, the United States does allow this and it is actually expected in the show ring. Since this is done within just days of a Boxer pup being born, it is the breeder who decides on this. Many will go by what they know puppy buyers prefer and most if they do not oppose docking will ask the intended owners in advance, if someone has a deposit on a pup. What we see more often than not, is that with a docked tail, the ears are rarely cropped. So, it is uncommon, at least in the U. Once a Boxer is close to the 1 year mark and up to the 2 year mark, he can sometimes be growing so fast in height, that he can't keep up in weight. We refer to this as the Boxer dog skinny phase and it typically only lasts a short while. Young Boxer pups are just power-houses waiting to mature. They are rounded and muscles are not yet fully developed. Just look at how big this pup's paws are; he'll be at full adult size by about the 2 year mark. Atticus, at 9 weeks old Photo courtesy of Anthony Klintworth Nearing the 1 year mark, Boxers have grown exponentially in height. They are, of course, gaining weight as well. This is a transitional phase before full adult form takes place. As the Boxer matures, his chest fills out, widening and really becoming a focal point. Flanks are lean and legs are relatively long, which gives him a great profile. Due to the short, packed coat, muscles are often quite visible, which lends to a sleek, strong appearance. Boxers were used extensively in WWII but both American forces and the British army; not only can they look intimidating, they do very well in regard to training for guard, security, surveillance and as messengers. Today's Boxer is a family dog, yet good breeding gives us super confident looking dogs that are great watchdogs, not only just by their appearance, but also loyalty to protect their family. Stella, at 5 years old Photo courtesy of Kendall Foy Coloring There are only 3 basic colors for the Boxer dog: Fawn, brindle and white. Fawn and brindle are standard and white is an alternate color. Though white is not accepted in the show right, white Boxers can, of course, be registered. Of these, the majority are unilaterally deaf one ear , as opposed to bilaterally both ears. In regard to fawn and brindle, this does not mean that all Boxers look alike; far from it! Color is, perhaps, the one feature that causes Boxers to have such varied appearances. Fawn can range from a very light tan to a reddish fawn. And brindle which is a pattern of striping can range from light to super dark. In fact, some very heavy brindled Boxer dogs may appear to be a solid dark color. A few even may appear to be black, though this is genetically impossible. This often appears on the chest. It may also be on the legs anywhere from just the paws - referred to as mittens - to almost the entire leg. And if he is almost all white with just a bit of fawn or brindle, he is 'extra flashy'.

Now, whether you already have a dog or have yet to pick him up, it would be good for you to learn what to expect this month with your Dood, both developmentally and as a new Doodle parent. However, as your puppy transitions to his forever family and home, socialization is more important than ever now. To help reduce the fear of the unfamiliar as he grows older, your job is to start helping your new companion meet a variety of beings, including babies and children, men, dogs, cats, and birds. It is also a good idea to introduce him to: People of all ages, including kids and older people. People of all appearances, including men and women. Different kinds of attire, including hats, sunglasses, and coats. Unfortunately, I know from experience that if he grows up without meeting kids when he is young, he may never feel comfortable around them as an adult. As a result, they may act out of fear and potentially hurt kids. As such, he may develop irreversible behaviors leading to antisocial behavior, fear, or aggression. Rather, it should just begin before that time. A good rule of thumb is to have puppy meet different people by 12 weeks of age. Expect your puppy to react with fear in different situations, which is a very normal part of puppy development. Offer them a variety of new experiences and reward your puppy for exploring them. By 12 weeks of age or so, they will begin teething. By the end of this month, he should have better control of his bladder and bowels. He may begin to sleep through the night without accidents or potty breaks — yay! Your Dood will need more and more food as he grows. Be sure to feed him times a day right now to support his rapid brain and body development. Before bringing your 2-month old puppy home, find out what food the breeder was feeding him and use that same food as he adjusts to his new home. After a few days, you can start making the switch to a different puppy food if you want. Feed your 2-month old puppy an appropriate amount of food. On the other hand, if he often leaves leftovers in his bowl, reduce how much you give him. Use our feeding calculator if you need and be sure to keep track of his growth using our awesome growth tracker! Related Content.

Share 0 Shares A few more weeks have gone by and your once small and adorable Goldendoodle puppy has started to show some huge and obvious signs of growth and maturity. By now you and your beloved Goldendoodle puppy should be well accustomed to each other. Goldendoodles in general are very social and active dogs, they love to move around, make friends and be happy all day and by the 12th week, you might start to notice some pretty obvious signs of clinginess and mild to little separation anxiety. And this might actually be a crucial stage for the puppy. In this article, we provide you with all you need to know to handle issues like these and more on your Goldendoodle puppy. For the week-old Goldendoodle, one sure character trait to look out for would be clinginess. This can sometimes transition into separation anxiety. They are still both very tender and highly impressionable or docile, meaning they can easily be taught or trained. This is mainly because their brains are still pretty young and ready to soak up new experiences that they might come across as they age. Also expect a very energetic Goldendoodle by the 8 weeks mark. If properly cared for, your Goldendoodle should have a stronger system which means they can play as much as they want to and can pretty much be exposed to new environments that could further socialize them. Your week Goldendoodle should also have a stronger bladder and would have fewer potty breaks than the 8 weeks Goldendoodle. Putting a figure on it, expect your Goldendoodle to hold in urine for at least 2 to 4 hours. Another thing to expect from your week-old Goldendoodle is teething. The incisors are usually the first set of teeth to fall out during this period, after them, the premolars are more likely to come out next, and then the canines. And you might want to consider taking your Goldendoodle to your local vet for a thorough mouth check to be certain they are free from any dental health defect. You should also aim towards getting your Goldendoodle puppy a suitable chew toy to play with. Hard bones should be taken away from the week-old Goldendoodle puppy as it is most likely to cause damage to the puppy and ensure they feed on kibbles that are easy to digest. With that being said, The week Goldendoodle can be described as a much more playful and energetic version of the 8-week Goldendoodle. But they should be due for another round of vaccinations and immunizations that can further keep them healthy and strong. Take them for regular checks by your vet and ensure they follow their vaccination and deworming schedule. Vaccinations they can possibly receive at this stage include vaccinations for parvovirus, hepatitis, adenovirus, parainfluenza, lepto and distemper. Vaccinations like lepto can only be given to Goldendoodles above the age of 12 weeks and not below. They can also now receive other regular shots like rabies shots to help keep them immune to these harmful health conditions and defects. Next focus on socializing your Goldendoodle puppy more. If your Goldendoodle already has a decent start on socialization, consider exposing them to even more stimulating situations and experiences that could further help them. And if they do not have a decent start, create a foundation by introducing them to basic friends, neighbors, and people they would get to see more. Prioritize taking them to dog parks and organizing puppy play time with other equally enthusiastic dog owners for them to meet and make new friends with other pets as well as with people. Also familiarize your Goldendoodle with other surrounding textures, sounds and smells, and sights. This would further improve socialization for your week-old Goldendoodle puppy. Taking out time to socialize with your puppy can further strengthen the bond you share with them and make them more drawn towards you. The exact size your Goldendoodle retains at 12 weeks of age depends on a few factors. One of these factors is the exact size class it belongs to. Goldendoodles currently come in one of 5 size classes. These size classes range from standard size to medium size, to miniature size to petite, and even teacup sizes. A week-old Goldendoodle puppy from the teacup size would definitely be smaller than the week Goldendoodle from the Standard size. With that being said, expect your Goldendoodle puppy at 12 weeks of age to fall between 6 to 22 pounds in weight. Height can also vary relative to the Goldendoodle size class. So expect your Goldendoodle puppy to be between 8 to 12 or 13 inches tall. Just like the 8-week Goldendoodle, the feeding appetite of the week-old Goldendoodle is also large. In fact, you can say that both age groups of the Goldendoodle share the same feeding schedule or chart. The feeding schedule should be based on the overall size class of the Goldendoodle in question, so what you feed a teacup Goldendoodle should be a little less than what you feed a standard-sized Goldendoodle. It can be spread across a maximum of 3 servings each day. The Standard sized 12 week old Goldendoodle should have the largest food share of all size classes. It can be spread across 3 servings a day. The week-old Goldendoodle needs pretty much the same number of sleep hours a day to stay strong and healthy. Let them sleep at least 18 to 20 hours each day. Their bodies are rapidly growing and active and that consumes a lot of energy. Stick to dog walks that last a maximum duration of 10 minutes. You can spread this amongst 3 different time periods in the day totaling a complete 30 minutes workout each day. Give enough space in between workouts for the Goldendoodle to get enough rest. Asides from regular walks, you can also engage in light puppy activities like tug or even fetch. These are light exercise plans that can pretty much keep your Goldendoodle occupied. You can consider increasing its exercise load from 4 months 16 weeks and above. Training Your 3-Month-Old Goldendoodle Training and exercise go hand in hand, especially with the week Goldendoodle. If you gave your puppy an early start at 8 weeks to the 3 basic training aspects that are perfect for the puppy Goldendoodle, which are potty training , crate training, and basic obedience training, then by the 12th week, your Goldendoodle should have made considerable progress. The Goldendoodle is pretty smart, in another 4 weeks of consistent and proper training, he should understand basic commands, how to potty, and how to properly live in a crate or cage without any stress, Remember to always be patient with your Goldendoodle puppy and always make use of the positive reinforcement method of training to get the best results out of them. You would often find them running around the house or running in circles at random. This is a stimulating response to the excess energy that is trapped inside their tiny bodies. Another behavior that should stand out at this stage is their level of curiosity and willingness to explore. You might catch your puppy occasionally staring at the door and wanting to go out exploring. It is best to provide this to them but in a more controlled and safe environment where you can determine what your Goldendoodle experiences or interacts with. Your Goldendoodle should also be a lot more possessive with his items like toys or bones. You would often find them unwilling to share these items with their littermates. You can aim to curb this habit in the future. And the most noticeable behavior you might find in the week-old Goldendoodle is the presence of separation anxiety. Your puppy should be pretty much attached to faces they regularly see at home and as such should have a hard time coping on its own. This is why crate training is heavily recommended for the Goldendoodle. They are pretty much prone to puppy diarrhea which is why you should be very careful with the quality of kibble you feed your beloved Goldendoodle puppy. Over-exercising your Goldendoodle puppy can also cause stress even at 12 weeks of age. Do cut back on your training program if you notice they are being stressed. Separation anxiety can also become a health problem for your Goldendoodle if left unchecked. So do ensure your Goldendoodle is trained to be comfortable when alone. Ignoring the problem could only make it worse for the week-old Goldendoodle. Precautions For Raising The 3-Month-Old Goldendoodle Keeping your Goldendoodle safe, well-socialized, and well-trained should be your biggest priority during its 12th week. Give them all the required nutrients for that age range, ensure their toys are clean and safe for them to play with, and ensure they are well-trained. Grooming should never be overlooked. Final Thoughts Your Goldendoodle puppy is still at a very crucial point in its life, as such, they need all the love and emotional care it can get. Ensure you do all you can for them to grow up healthy, strong, and definitely loved. Related Posts:. There might be days or even weeks when it seems to regress, but as long as you stay calm and stick to the training schedule and daily routine, your doodle puppy will thrive. Remember, the younger your pup is, the shorter its attention span and the less it understands. A lot of the earliest work involves planting seeds for the future and maintaining that consistent routine. Many goldendoodles respond best to one or more of the following methods: Positive Reinforcement Your number one tool as a puppy parent is positive reinforcement. Scolding and punishment will make it fear you, which might garner very short-term results but will ultimately lead to long-term problems like destructive behavior, biting and excessive barking. Use a mixture of praise and toys as your primary rewards, with food used as big rewards and treats very occasionally. Clicker Training Many puppies respond best to clicker training, and many professionals use it. It combines positive reinforcement with a handheld clicker that you press whenever you reward your pet for following a command or behaving well. Very quickly, it starts associating the click with a reward, until the clicker itself becomes the reward and a treat is no longer required. Animals are territorial by nature, and giving your pup a little island of its own in your home is a great way to prevent unwanted behaviors. Remember, the crate is not a punishment. However, like every breed, they have their character quirks. Below is a list of the main issues doodle owners encounter and how to approach them. Jumping All dogs have the potential to get excited and jump up on people when they meet or greet them, but this can be scary for strangers and children. Teach your doodle puppy that it only gets a reward if it sits when greeted and this behavior will eventually become second nature. Stealing Food Every dog loves to eat. A clicker can be particularly good for this behavior. Mouthing and Biting Biting is natural for dogs, and they might use it as a way to get your attention in addition to it being a sign of aggression. Check out our training program to find out more. Wondering what the journey through every stage of Goldendoodle parenting is like? Then hold on to your dog leash! Things are about to get zoomie-worthy as we take you through what you can expect during the third month of Goldendoodle parenting. What does a Goldendoodle look like at 3 months? This is because Goldendoodles are a hybrid or crossbreed between two very different breeds—Golden Retrievers and Poodles. These two parent breeds bring a lot of variety to the mix. Also, the Poodle parent breed brings a wide range of sizes to the Doodle family. This is why there are such a wide range of weights and sizes for Goldendoodle puppies at this age. While our Goldendoodle puppy weighs about 9 pounds at three months, other Goldendoodle puppies can be much larger or smaller. In addition to Goldendoodles growing in size, they are also growing longer coats too. However, the coat is growing in length. Also, depending on the puppy, some coats are more wavy, some straight, and some curly. Regardless of the amount of wave or curl, at three months, puppies still have their puppy coat and have not blown their coats i. Sadie is an F1 Goldendoodle. This means she is a first filial generation from two different parent breeds. Her mom is a Golden Retriever and her dad is a Moyen Poodle. At three months, her hair has become a little wavier, but not much. They will look more like a Golden Retriever. Both are a-dood-able! Even after combing, at three months old, her hair fluffed in a cute, messy way. Read on for some helpful tips on parenting Goldendoodle puppies at this age. But while our eyelids are droopy our hearts are happy. What to expect at 3 months At three months, Goldendoodle puppies may be curious, playful, and eager. They are trying to understand their new home and new routines. And since many puppies are adopted around 10 weeks of age, at three months, they are probably becoming more comfortable and curious in their new surroundings. And curiosity and exploration go hand-in-hand with puppies putting things in the mouths. This is because a puppy uses his or her mouth to investigate the world. We gave our Goldendoodle plenty of safe chew toys like the one in the photo below. We also made sure she had a variety of textures to chew—soft materials like plush toys to tougher rubber toys like the Kong binky. As far as a typical day, Goldendoodle puppies at this age are pretty much a constant cycle of potty-sleep-potty-play-potty-sleep with eating added as bookends to the beginning and end of the day. Feeding nutritious puppy food is important to help them grow. And just as important to their growth is making sure they have plenty of sleep. Also, at this age, puppies are probably having some potty training success. And always give lots of praise for positive behaviors for potty successes. Now that you have an idea of what to expect, here are some things that we learned as we went through this stage of parenting a 3-month-old Goldendoodle. Maybe these tips can help you too. Caring for a 3-month-old Goldendoodle: Parenting tips Getting potty training down. Figuring out crate training. Sleeping through the night. Getting enough mental stimulation to satisfy all that Doodle puppy curiosity. For our family, we were doing zoomies trying to keep up on the potty training, getting the crate training down, figuring out a schedule for our puppy that worked with our own daily schedules, and just making daily life flow. If you can relate, these tips are for you! Contain the fun in one puppy-proofed space. But by 12 weeks, our Goldendoodle was learning to nudge open the puppy gates. It was time for a new plan. Teach the crate at a sloowwww rate. From the first day home, our puppy slept in a crate at night. Just as she was dropping off to sleep, we placed her in her crate and then placed the crate near us for reassurance. But how tiny is a tiny step? For example, the first tiny step for Sadie was giving her a treat when she poked her head in the gate to get the treat from our hands, which were inside the crate. Then, we treated her when she put her whole body in the crate. Eventually, we worked up to treating when partially closing the door, then closing the door and treating, etc. By taking it in tiny steps at a time and keeping the process positive, Sadie now loves her crate. Nap time? Potty time. Play time? Meal time? By three months, our Goldendoodle was really getting the hang of potty training. And, I think our family was figuring out the potty training routine too. Puppy has been playing and looks distracted? Puppy ate? Potty time in about 15 minutes. Puppy drank? Check your watch because potty time is not far away. Commonly, puppies who are under four months of age are NOT to be able to hold their bladders. Remember, to give yourself and your puppy lots of grace. Consider using a hands-free leash inside your home. This was one of the best hacks for keeping our 3-month-old Goldendoodle safe in our home. Plus, I could carry some treats along with me and reward good behaviors. Talk with your vet about ways to introduce your puppy to new experiences, socialization. Three months is prime time for new puppy socialization. So what can you do with your not-yet-fully-vaccinated puppy, and still keep them safe from scary diseases like parvovirus? For our family, we got creative and carried our puppy on our walks, took her for car rides, gave her plenty of interactive toys and games, introduced her to grooming tools, let her play in our backyard, etc. Additionally, because we have other vaccinated dogs in our family, she got dog-specific socialization with our fully vaccinated dogs. However, we did not take her to puppy parks, dog pet stores, allow her to walk on grass in highly dog populated places, or let her meet other dogs that we did not know whether or not they were vaccinated. Also, I was interested to learn the official definition of socialization, so I went to a respected veterinary resource. For more, their article is excellent. Have fun learning basic commands with your pupper. Goldendoodle puppies are smart! This is why it is so fun to start teaching them basic commands like come, sit, stay, and shake. One of the first games we played with our Goldendoodle was our version of the game Red Rover. To play, one person is at one end of the rug or room and the other person is at the other. When the puppy comes, the first person praises and rewards. Then, the second person repeats the same action. This is a great game for bonding and giving your puppy a little energy burn too. Introduce grooming basics, and enjoy this stage where hair is still easy to manage. If you researched Goldendoodles, you have probably read a lot about the importance of Goldendoodle grooming. This means you have some time to start slowly introducing hair care routines. We gave Sadie her first nail trim at three months. I use Millers Forge dog nail trimmers and have for 5 years now. Remember, things take time. Did you know that puppies sleep about 18 hours a day? This could make you think this puppy parenting thing is a breeze. But then there are those other six hours which are pretty much nonstop investigating, zooming, sniffing, chewing, and discovering for our curious Energizer bunny puppies. This is when new puppy overwhelm can set it in. At the beginning of puppy parenting, new parents are usually well-rested and ready to go! But then the bleary-eyed mornings and middle-of-the-night potty outings set in. What makes this stage of puppyhood more challenging? For our family, at three months we were putting the big three routines in place time—crate training, potty training , and sleeping through the night. Then after that, the schedule starts to flow. These smart, inquisitive, and friendly puppies are so eager to please. With your love, praise, time, and attention, Goldendoodles will want to please you and will quickly learn how to fit in with your pack. Do you want to look ahead at a 4-month-old Goldendoodle? This means you should avoid leaving food out for them at all times, as they can eat too much and become sick or even develop bloat, which can quickly become deadly. How To Feed Your Goldendoodle Puppy This may seem like a silly question, but it is relevant because the answer is actually not that obvious! You should be able to cover the food with your hand without your puppy making too much fuss. Allow them to start eating. While they are eating, stroke them and pet their heads. This is an excellent time to brush them, too, as they are occupied and not scrambling around. This is an important practice to get them used to your presence and prevent food guarding and aggression. Considering how large Goldendoodles can get even when they are puppies, this is an important part of their training. Next, give your puppy about 15 minutes to eat their food. During this time, they will either eat all of their food or eat until they are full and lose interest in the rest. After 15 minutes is up, remove any of the uneaten food left behind. If your puppy is still eating, then let them finish their food. The number of options can be overwhelming! Hopefully, I can whittle it down for you and make the decision a little easier. The American Kennel Club recommends using premium or high-end puppy food as they typically have a higher nutritional density and are more consistent, whereas cheaper foods can be inconsistent and contain filler products. Puppies have higher nutritional needs than adult dogs. Their food should be more nutrient-dense because they can only eat a little bit at a time. Their food will generally be more expensive owing to its quality; however, it should last you longer than a bag of adult food. Just like with adult dog food, you can choose between kibble or solid food, pouches or semi-moist food, or canned soft food. Top Puppy Food Suggestions For Goldendoodles While there are innumerable options out there for you to choose from, I have carefully narrowed them down to three products that I highly recommend for your Goldendoodle.

Bred to be smaller than their English Bulldog cousins, Frenchies are great companions and are easy to care for. Why are Dallas French Bulldogs so expensive?

Breed Title Goldador Puppies Temperament Goldadors are an amazing combination of the intelligence and trainability of the Labrador and the friendly, gentle personality of the Golden Retriever. With their outgoing, friendly character and sweet disposition, Goldadors make excellent family pets around children and other animals as they have a great aptitude for understanding people. In terms of temperament, these beloved pups are highly sociable but not overly boisterous or hyper; they enjoy playing fetch but rest just as happily on your lap or at your feet while you work. Golden Labrador Retriever Puppy Health Considerations Though generally very happy and long-lived — with an average lifespan of around years — our Goldadors for sale are not without their unique health concerns. Like every breed of dog, there are a few conditions you should be aware of before you consider purchasing one of our Golden Labrador Retriever puppies for sale. Understanding the risks allows you to know the signs and prevent small health concerns from turning into big ones. Finding a Golden Labrador puppy for sale from a reputable breeder can also dramatically — although, not eliminate — the risk of your dog developing some of these conditions. Depending on the climate they live in, Goldadors may need regular baths — however omitting shampoo once or twice a year will ensure their coat retains its natural oils. Finally it is recommended to check the ears regularly and trim nails as needed. Adopted Golden Labrador Retriever Puppies.

Play Fetch: This is a classic outdoor game that is great to do in summer. Challenge your dog by putting a twist to the activity, you can either use a Frisbee or a tennis racquet to make the object travel farther for your Golden Labrador to retrieve and return back to you. However, you should not be working them too much because when it comes to recovering objects, both parent breeds of Golden Retriever Lab Mix can be overly enthusiastic. However, even though they are intelligent dogs and has a friendly nature, you still need to put time and effort to train them better. Both parent breeds were bred to carry things. The best way to teach your Goldador not to bark is to socialize them frequently with strangers. Use Positive Reinforcement The Labrador crossed with Golden Retriever is a sensitive type of dog, so training them using positive reinforcement will be very helpful. Make sure to avoid negative punishment-based training since this hybrid dog may end up fearing you rather than respecting you as their leader. Make it a regular routine to reward your puppy whenever they do something right. Training your Goldador consistently in a positive method will give you pet companions that are obedient and good-natured. Do Mental Exercise The Golden Retriever mixed with Lab is an intelligent dog, and they need stimulating mental activities to avoid developing any aggressive behaviors, such as nuisance barking and chewing.

Because of their affectionate nature, they generally do well when given lots of attention and affection. These hybrid dogs love to be with people, and hence it is tough for them to cope with solitude. So give love lots of love and affection to your Goldador Lab Retriever Mix and expect that it will shower you back with love. Life Span Did You Know? The Golden Labrador is a designer dog breed that originated in the United States. They are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever. The goal was to combine these two highly popular breeds to create a dog that exhibits the best traits from both of them. A mixed dog breed can take after one parent breed more than the other or any combination of traits from the parent breeds. This can result in some variation among individual puppies. But, overall, a Golden Labrador is friendly, intelligent, energetic, and affectionate. Although this mixed breed is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable organizations like the American Canine Hybrid Club and more. This large designer breed is characterized by their energetic personality and friendly disposition. Both of the parent breeds in this cross are open, friendly, and affectionate, so you can expect the same in your Golden Labrador puppy. They are very playful and get along fabulously with children, other dogs, and other pets. They may be alert enough to be a good watchdog, but they do not make good guard dogs. They are instinctually more interested in making new friends and getting attention than they are with anything else. They can have a slight prey drive, but most of the time, they are just curious and interested in playing and making friends. The Golden Labrador is a moderately adaptable dog breed. Their large size and energy tend to make them a better fit for larger homes with room to run. They can adapt well to apartment living as long as they are given enough exercise and mental stimulation. But, small spaces can be a challenge because they are large dogs that are so playful and energetic. Golden Labradors do well in just about any climate. As with most dog breeds, they are sensitive to heat and extreme cold. Because they love their families, thrive on attention, and get bored easily, they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. As a mixed breed, a Golden Labrador can inherit the potential health conditions of one or both of the parent breeds. Although the Golden Labrador is a relatively healthy dog breed, there are some potential health conditions to be aware of. These include eye problems like progressive retinal atrophy and joint issues common to large dogs like patellar luxation and hip dysplasia. Like their parent breeds, the Golden Labrador can be prone to weight gain, which does put them at risk of diabetes later in life. Reputable breeders will screen their stock to ensure genetic conditions are not being passed on to puppies. Regular vet visits, proper nutrition, and sufficient exercise can help keep your dog healthy and reduce preventable diseases. Both of the parent breeds in this cross are highly intelligent and highly trainable, so the Golden Labrador should be no different. Eager to please their owners, these dogs pick up on things quickly and respond best to positive training methods focused on praise and reward. This dog breed, like both of the parent breeds, is a great fit for owners of all experience levels, including first-time dog owners. Their high energy can sometimes be a challenge, so you may want to consider puppy training and obedience classes. This designer dog breed may be called a Golden Labrador, but they can show up in many colors. A cream, yellow, or golden coat may be the most common, but a Golden Labrador can also have a black, red, or brown coat. It tends to be a dense double coat that is short or medium in length. This dog breed will shed moderately year-round with heavier shedding sessions twice a year as the seasons change. During seasonal changes, you may want to increase to daily brushing. Not only will this make your dog more comfortable, but it will also decrease the amount of loose fur that ends up around your house. In addition to coat care, you will also need to handle nail, ear, and dental care for your Golden Labrador. Floppy ears tend to trap more dirt, moisture, and debris, which makes them more prone to developing ear infections than ears that stick straight up. Unfortunately, this is often overlooked, which is why gum disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Beyond that, you can use vet-approved dental hygiene chews and treats and even a specially-formulated dental care diet to supplement your efforts. Getting them used to it early and keeping it a positive experience can make grooming a lot easier as your puppy grows into a big dog! Plus, it can become a bonding experience that your dog looks forward to. Golden Labradors are high-energy dogs. Daily walks, playtime, and some extra activity are generally enough for this dog to stay happy and healthy. But, they will probably tire out before you do! Their friendly nature makes the Golden Labrador a great fit for trips to the dog park. Try teaching your dog how to play frisbee. With their retriever background, it could become one of their favorite activities. You can also train your Golden Labrador for several dog sports like agility, dock diving, obedience, and more. A fully-grown Golden Labrador usually stands inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between pounds. A Golden Labrador generally lives years. Although Golden Labrador is the most popular name for this designer dog breed, they are also sometimes referred to as a Goldador or a Goldador Retriever. Featured Golden Labrador Article.

Learn More The transition from a puppy coat to an adult one can come as a bit of a shock to novice owners and newbie pet parents. Some breeders choose not to mention it for fear of putting off prospective buyers. However, here we will let you know exactly what to expect when your Goldendoodle puppy coat transition happens. Types of Goldendoodle Coats All dogs are born with a soft, single-layer puppy coat, whether they later go on to develop a double-layered one or not. Goldendoodles are no exception. This smooth, silky hair then gives way to something that can be altogether trickier to manage. Knots, tangles, mats, and shedding can become real problems with some dogs. As you probably know by now, with a mixed breed, there are no certainties. Especially when the parent animals are so different. One half of the Goldendoodle equation, the Golden Retriever, has a dense, straight, water-resistant double coat. In contrast, the other half, the Poodle, has a curly, coarse, low-shedding single one. Depending on which parent they favor, Goldendoodles can inherit either of these coats or a wavy, fleecy, long one that sits somewhere in between the two. This is generally the most common and the most popular of the three. For more on Goldendoodle coats and the right tools for caring for them, take a look at The Absolute Best Brushes for Goldendoodles. Nature can be a bit of a lottery. We can, however, make a few best guesses based on the parents and what usually happens. One thing we do know for sure is that whichever adult coat your pup is destined to have, it will be altogether stiffer and denser than their puppy one. It could even be a different color, thanks to the Poodle Fading Gene. Breeders, however, do highlight a few telltale traits that could give you an early idea of what to expect: Check The Snout An excess of hair at the top of the snout known as a mustache indicates that your pup is likely to end up with a coat on the curlier end of the spectrum. Straighter, shaggier, beard-like hair suggests a wavier coat. If your dog has short hair here and an overall neat and tidy-looking muzzle, they will probably inherit a straight coat. Pay Attention to the Generation The generation of the dog can also provide a strong indication of what to expect. See Also: Click the image Goldendoodle Puppy Coat Transition Phases When it comes to changing from the puppy to the adult coat, there are no clear-cut transition phases. When and how pups blow their puppy coat varies from dog to dog. With most dogs, it tends to happen at around six months, and it can be either sudden or gradual. Some owners barely even notice — it all depends on the final hair type. However, you may start to notice a little more hair in the brush or a few more tangles around the armpits, tail, and ears. If your Goldie is getting more of a curly coat, you will need to be extra vigilant at this time. Shedding puppy hair can all too easily get caught up in tight curls leading on to painful knots and mats that are all but impossible to remove with a brush. A good rule of thumb with dogs is that with a low-shedding coat, you have to spend more time on brushing; with a high shedding one that time will be spent cleaning hair up off the floor or your clothes. Which Goldendoodles Get Puppy Coats? Pretty much every variety of Goldendoodle from Standard to Mini experiences some sort of coat change as they transition from puppy to adult. The switch from puppy to adult coat is also less noticeable with active dogs and particularly ones that spend a lot of time swimming. The water washes away the old hair as it is replaced with the new. It is not left about the house as it otherwise would be. This change could be pretty dramatic or quite subtle depending on the type of adult coat your pup has inherited. They will shed their puppy coat somewhere between four and eight months, and their stiffer, denser adult one will start to come in at this time. Do Goldendoodle puppies change color? While your pup is unlikely to completely change color on you, many Goldies get lighter as their adult coat comes in. This is known as fading. How do you tell if a Goldendoodle puppy will have furnishings? Furnishings refer to the hair features about the face. The best way to know if your Goldie will have furnishings is to pay attention to their generation. F1 Goldendoodles are most likely to be missing them. F1B dogs are the most likely to have them. If a puppy lacks furnishings, they are unlikely to develop them in adulthood. With or without, though, all Doodles are still undeniably cute. When adopting a puppy, there are many things you need to be prepared for. Many people choose to adopt one of these darling dogs for their hypoallergenic properties. The best way to anticipate precisely what kind of hair your Goldendoodle will have when they are done blowing their coat is to speak to the breeder. Checking out the parent dogs is also recommended for later generations. However, this is no exact science, and you should really be prepared for anything. We are sure, though, that no matter how your Goldie ends up looking as they develop, you will love them just the same. How could you not? Just look at that face! Learn How to Upkeep Your Doodle! Is this the Goldendoodle puppy coat transition? Where are all these dog mats coming from? The surprising transition from puppy coat to adult coat can sneak up on any unsuspecting dog mom. But the subject of the Goldendoodle coat transition deserves just as much attention as all the other Goldendoodle pros and cons. However, one thing is true for all Goldendoodle puppies. At some point, the Goldendoodle puppy coat will change and the adult coat will come in. Matting can take over quickly Kind of like the month of March, the coat transition may enter like a lion! You may be surprised how quickly the mats coming roaring onto the scene. When my Goldendoodle sidekick Chloe was a pup, her puppy coat was soft and silky and there was not a mat to be found, even in the crevices like the armpits! Meet Chloe. Her puppy coat was silky soft. First under the ears. Then the armpits. Brushing became our thing. Brushing removes dead hair that would otherwise cause mats. Like hair on our human heads, dog hair has to go somewhere. Since Doodles tend to shed less, Goldendoodle grooming is part of keeping the hair from tangling and matting. There will always be hair to manage with any dog, whether low-shedding or high-shedding. With a low-shedding dog, there is a greater amount of grooming. With a high-shedding dog, there is a greater amount of time spent cleaning hair off floors. Either way, you have the joy of being a dog parent! For more about shedding, read my article: Do Goldendoodles Shed? It may make you feel overly confident. When the Goldendoodle puppy coat starts transitioning, be ready. When do Goldendoodle puppies shed their coat? However, as a rule of thumb, Goldendoodle parents say anywhere between four to eight months and may even be up to two years. What happens during a Goldendoodle puppy coat transition? When the Goldendoodle adult coat begins to grow in, the puppy coat begins to shed. This creates tangles. If not groomed early, the tangles turn into mats. Since there are so many Goldendoodle coat types, there is not one set example. Some parents will hardly notice the change while other Goldendoodle parents will find what feels like an explosion of mats. What areas are the biggest matting culprits? Breeds The link has been copied! Goldendoodles are a popular breed that's often sought after for their hypoallergenic coats. But whether or not they shed depends on the genes of each dog. Because Goldendoodles come from a mix of Golden Retrievers and Poodles, their fur can differ widely from one to the next. Do Goldendoodles Shed? Yes, Goldendoodles do shed. They are a hybrid breed that is a mix of the Golden Retriever and Poodle breeds. As such, they have a coat similar to both their parents', which means they may shed more than either the Golden Retriever or Poodle alone. While not hypoallergenic like some other dog breeds, Goldendoodles typically shed much less than many other dogs due to their wavy coats. Regular grooming can help minimize shedding too! Non-Shedding vs. Hypoallergenic Goldendoodles are frequently praised for being hypoallergenic and low shedding. Nonetheless, it is essential to keep in mind that no canine strain is completely hypoallergenic. Although they might shed less than other breeds, they still shed to some extent. The degree of shedding is influenced by several factors, including the genetics and coat type of each dog, as well as environmental factors such as the time of year and feeding habits. How Much Do Goldendoodles Shed? Goldendoodles are known for their low shedding compared to other breeds. Their coats come in a variety of wavy and curly textures and are composed of hair instead of fur, making them hypoallergenic and less likely to shed. Nonetheless, Goldendoodles need to be groomed regularly to maintain healthy, mat-free coats. Certain types of Goldendoodle coats may require frequent brushing, occasional trimming, or professional grooming appointments. Which Generations of Goldendoodles Shed? When it comes to Goldendoodles, shedding levels can vary depending on genetics and coat type, irrespective of the generation they belong to. Goldendoodles come in varying generations, depending on their parentage. A first-gen F1 Goldendoodle is produced by crossbreeding a purebred Golden Retriever with a purebred Poodle. Goldendoodles are known for being low-shedding. However, there can be some slight differences in shedding tendencies among littermates. The degree of shedding is often correlated to the texture of a Goldendoodle's coat, with curlier coats generally resulting in less shedding. In particular, Goldendoodles that are F1B or multigenerational are typically curly and therefore shed less compared to F1 Goldendoodles. Which Goldendoodles Shed the Least? When it comes to shedding, F1B and multigenerational Goldendoodles are at the top of the list for being hypoallergenic. F1B's are the result of breeding a purebred Poodle with an F1 Goldendoodle, increasing the likelihood of a curly and low-shed coat. Multigenerational Goldendoodles have been selectively bred over generations, leading to a more uniform coat type and less shedding overall. It's important to keep in mind that individual dogs can still vary in terms of their shedding, regardless of their generation or coat type. Regular grooming and brushing can also help to minimize shedding in all Goldendoodles. If you are specifically looking for a Goldendoodle that sheds the least, it's important to work with a reputable breeder who can provide you with information on the dog's genetics and coat type. Additionally, spending time around Goldendoodles before adopting one can help you get a sense of their shedding habits and how they may affect your allergies if you have them. Want to care for your Goldendoodle in the best way possible? Here are some helpful tips: Grooming: Take the time to groom your Goldendoodle regularly, and you'll minimize shedding and maximize the health of their coat. Brushing their hair removes loose fur and stops matting. Diet: Keep your pet's health in check by feeding them food that is protein-rich and contains healthy fats. Bathing: Giving your Goldendoodle a regular bath helps to keep its coat clean and healthy. However, avoid bathing them too frequently, as this can strip natural oils from their skin and result in dryness and discomfort Allergies: Allergies can cause your Goldendoodle to experience skin irritation and excessive shedding. Working together with your vet, you can identify the culprit and develop a treatment plan that may include medication or other therapies. Environment: The environment in which your Goldendoodle lives can affect its skin and coat. For example, dryness in the air can make them itchy and cause shedding. A humidifier can help with this. Additionally, avoid using harsh cleaning products or other irritants that can worsen skin discomfort. Brushing Brushing your Goldendoodle is an essential aspect of their grooming routine, which can help reduce shedding and maintain a healthy, mat-free coat. Here are some simple tips to keep in mind when brushing your Goldendoodle: Find the right brush: There are various kinds of brushes available for different coat types. A slicker brush or a pin brush is usually recommended for Goldendoodles because they work well to eliminate loose hair and prevent matting. Stay consistent: The amount of times you should brush your Goldendoodle depends on its coat type and how quickly it becomes tangled or matted. In general, it's best to brush your dog once a week, but you may need to brush more frequently if your dog's coat becomes knotted easily. Be gentle: Take care to use a gentle touch when brushing your Goldendoodle, and avoid tugging or yanking on their fur. This can cause discomfort and pain for your dog, so if you encounter a knot, use a detangling spray or work through it gently with your fingers before using the brush. Be aware of skin problems: While you brush your Goldendoodle, keep an eye out for any signs of skin irritation, such as redness, bumps, or flakes. Reward your dog: Brushing can be an amazing bonding experience for both you and your Goldendoodle, so make it a positive experience by providing treats or praise during and after brushing sessions. Clipping or Shaving Goldendoodle coat care is a personal decision based on various factors, like your dog's activity level, the climate where you live, and your grooming preferences. To help you make a decision, here are some things you should think about before giving your Goldendoodle a haircut or shaving : Coat types: Goldendoodles can have curly, wavy, or straight hair. If your dog has curly or wavy hair, you may not need to cut it since these types of hair are less prone to tangling or matting. If your dog has straight hair, consider shaving it to prevent matting or shedding. Climate: If you live in hot areas or your dog spends a lot of time outside during summer, shaving their coat may help keep them cool. Activity level: If your dog is outdoorsy and active, their coat may tangle or mat more easily. Clipping or shaving your dog's coat can help reduce this and make it easier to keep it clean and tidy. Shampoos Finding the right shampoo for your furry friend is important. When choosing a shampoo for your Goldendoodle, make sure it's specially made for dogs and doesn't contain harsh chemicals that can cause skin irritation. Here are some tips to consider during your selection process: Coat type is an important consideration as Goldendoodles have different coat types. Choosing a shampoo that's designed for your dog's specific coat type is key. For instance, curly coat shampoos work best for a Goldendoodle with a curly or wavy coat. Skin sensitivities are also important, as some Goldendoodles may have allergies or sensitive skin. Opt for shampoos that are hypoallergenic or formulated for sensitive skin, which is gentle and free of harsh chemicals. Natural ingredients like oatmeal or aloe vera can also be beneficial to soothe and moisturize your Goldendoodle's skin, so look for these ingredients. Avoid shampoos containing artificial fragrances or dyes as they can irritate your dog's skin. Flea and tick prevention is also a factor. If your Goldendoodle has flea or tick infestations, choose a shampoo that contains natural flea and tick repellents like neem oil or tea tree oil. Bear in mind that Goldendoodles should not be bathed too frequently as it can strip their skin of natural oils and cause dryness and irritation. Generally, a bath every weeks or as needed depending on their activity level and environment, is enough. Diet When it comes to your Goldendoodle's diet, it's important to give them high-quality and nutritious dog food that matches their specific nutritional requirements based on factors like their age, weight, and activity level. Here are some simple tips to keep in mind when choosing a diet for your furry friend: Opt for top-notch dog food: Always go for dog food that's made with quality ingredients without any artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors. Consider their age and activity level: Puppies have different dietary needs than adult dogs, and energetic pooches need more calories and protein than their lazier counterparts. Avoid overfeeding: These dogs can quickly become obese, so it's crucial to stick to the feeding instructions on the dog food packaging and adjust the amount based on your Goldendoodle's specific needs. Always hydrate: Make sure your Goldendoodle always has a fresh supply of clean water. Supplements can help: Some Goldendoodles may benefit from supplements like omega-3 fatty acids or glucosamine and chondroitin, which can support their joint health, coat, and skin. Look out for allergies: Some Goldendoodles may be allergic or sensitive to certain foods, so keep an eye out for signs of digestive or skin problems. Supplements and Treats Goldendoodles, those furry pups loved by many, can greatly benefit from a variety of supplements and treats that can positively impact their overall health and well-being. Here are some examples of supplements and treats that are perfect for your Goldendoodle: Omega-3 fatty acids: These are easily found in fish oil supplements and can provide significant benefits to the skin and coat of your Goldendoodle. Probiotics: Probiotic supplements are just what you need to balance your Goldendoodle's digestive system by promoting healthy gut bacteria, which is essential for their overall health. Joint supplements: Older Goldendoodles can be prone to joint problems, but supplements that contain glucosamine and chondroitin can work wonders to support joint health and mobility. Dental chews: Dental chews are perfect for keeping your furry pet's teeth clean, all while giving them a tasty treat. Training treats: Treats can be used as a reward for good behavior during training sessions to make them more productive and enjoyable. Q: Do Goldendoodles shed more in summer or winter? Goldendoodles might shed all year long, but how much they shed depends on each dog and the season. In general, Goldendoodles might shed more in the spring and fall as their coats adjust from winter to summer. These times may see them shed their heavier winter undercoats to prepare for warmer weather. That said, it's worth noting that Goldendoodles with curly or wavy coats may not shed as heavily as those with straighter coats. Q: Are Goldendoodle coats high maintenance? Most people consider Goldendoodle fur to be pretty high maintenance since they are woolly, and their curly coats need consistent grooming and trimming to avoid tangling and matting. This suggests that they need a daily brushing routine to keep their fur looking good, and professional grooming every weeks to maintain its overall health and aesthetic. Moreover, Goldendoodles might need more frequent grooming during seasonal shedding periods to prevent excessive hair loss and preserve their coat's health. Despite the upkeep required, many Goldendoodle enthusiasts believe that it's all worthwhile, given their cute looks and amiable personalities. Q: What if your Goldendoodle is shedding more than usual? If your Goldendoodle is shedding more than usual, there could be a few different causes. First, make sure you're providing them with a healthy diet full of essential vitamins and minerals to ensure their coat stays nourished. Additionally, brushing their fur regularly can help reduce excessive shedding by removing loose hairs from the undercoat and preventing matting. Finally, keep an eye out for signs of skin irritation or allergies that may be causing increased hair loss. If you suspect this might be the case, consult your vet right away so they can determine the best course of action. Final Thoughts So, to wrap things up, Goldendoodles are often marketed as furry friends that won't trigger allergies or leave hair around the house. However, it's crucial to keep in mind that no breed of dog can guarantee to be completely hypoallergenic. The amount of hair shed by these adorable canines can change depending on the specific pooch's genes and fur type, as well as external factors like weather and nourishment.

One of the most common reasons why people buy Goldendoodle puppies is because of their hypo-allergenic fur. So, what makes fur hypo-allergenic? Is it the fact that the fur is not shed at all? Contrary to popular belief, all dogs shed. And why is that so surprising? People, cats, mice, even birds shed! However, dog breeds that shed less are more likely to be hypoallergenic. Why is this the case? Well, the protein expressed in a dog's saliva can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. Since the dog's dander and saliva stick to their hair, and breeds less prone to shedding do not release as much hair into the environment, "hypoallergenic breeds" typically shed less. However, protein expression levels play a major role and amount of shedding alone does not determine degree of allergic reaction. Most allergen experts would not answer this question outright. They would probably say that the purchasing a Goldendoodle would have a higher probability of not causing an allergic reaction than a higher shedding breed. Now, the reason behind the reduced shedding is all in the breeding. Poodles, a breed known for their "non-shedding" fur which we now know is an anomaly is crossed with a golden retriever which is a highly shedding breed. Some even say their F1B Goldendoodle never sheds again an anomaly. So, if you, or a loved one, is in the search for a cuddly, hypoallergenic dog with a smart, trainable, loving personality, then an F1B Goldendoodle should top your list! For more on the disposition of a Goldendoodle , be sure to check out this post.

Where does that leave the Goldendoodle? However, Goldendoodles will typically shed more than a purebred Poodle. You can also get smaller varieties, like the Miniature Goldendoodle, which can further reduce the overall shedding since the dog has less hair to lose than a larger dog. The amount of hair a Goldendoodle sheds will depend mostly on its genes. This is because, unlike a purebred dog, designer breeds aka cross breeds inherit traits from two different breeds. In this case, the Poodle and the Golden Retriever. On the one hand, Poodles shed virtually no hair at all. In contrast, however, Golden Retrievers are considered moderate-to-heavy shedding dogs. Goldens are also double-coated , meaning they have an undercoat and an outer coat. This is known as seasonal shedding , and it occurs as the Golden naturally prepares for changing weather conditions. So, the best way to know how much a Goldendoodle is likely to shed is to consider its genetics, and the best way to know that is to either get a DNA test or speak with your breeder. But what do these terms mean? And how do they relate to shedding? With this variety, you are likely to experience low-to-moderate shedding and potentially some level of seasonal shedding if your Goldendoodle has an undercoat. This variety is generally considered low shedding. There are other variations of Goldendoodle, but those are the main ones worth mentioning. I say that because breeding beyond an F1BB is getting to the point where you might as well get a purebred Poodle. Nevertheless, with that out of the way, another factor to consider is how big your Goldendoodle is likely to be since this can impact the amount of hair you notice around the home. However, smaller dogs have less hair to drop in the first place compared to larger dogs. So this can be another factor to consider. And the Goldendoodle typically comes in three main sizes : Standard: The Standard Goldendoodle, which is the result of crossing a Standard Poodle with a Golden Retriever, stands 20 to 24 inches tall and weighs between 50 to 90 pounds. Small: The Small Goldendoodle is about inches tall at the shoulder and weighs pounds. This is about midway between a Standard and Miniature Goldendoodle. A Miniature Goldendoodle is typically between 13 to 20 inches tall from the shoulder to the ground and weighs about 15 to 35 pounds. But those are the general heights and weights of a Goldendoodle. As mentioned, the lowest shedding variety of Goldendoodle is the Miniature F1BB Goldendoodle because this is the smallest variety and has mostly Poodle genes. And the most accurate way to know what any Goldendoodle is in terms of its lineage would be to get a genetic test done or speak to a reputable breeder before adopting. That said, there are some tell tail signs that can give you a general indication of how much Poodle and Golden Retriever the dog has in its genes. They also have curly or wavy coats, which can be another thing to look for. Goldendoodle Recommended: Go here to see our top-rated air purifiers for dog hair and dander Are Goldendoodles High Maintenance? Goldendoodles can range from high to low-maintenance dogs depending on their coat, which in turn depends on their genes. Poodles typically have curly hair that, like humans, grows in perpetuity. Not only are curly coats prone to mats, tangles, and knots, but they can get debris trapped in them fairly easily. And because the hair keeps on growing, it needs to be trimmed to keep it orderly. Golden Retrievers, on the other hand, have straight, medium-length coats. That said, they do shed more and have an undercoat, which can increase brushing frequency if you want to keep your home and car free of dog hair. What sort of brush should you use? What about trimming? So when it comes to trimming, the most important thing to remember is not to take too much off. Are Goldendoodles Hypoallergenic? No, Goldendoodles are not hypoallergenic. And since all dogs produce dander, there is technically no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic dog. And one of these dogs is the Poodle, which has been designated as hypoallergenic by the AKC. So, going back to the second point I made earlier, how hypoallergenic a Goldendoodle is will depend on its lineage. As with shedding, the more your Goldendoodle takes after a Poodle, the less likely he is to trigger allergy-related symptoms. For example, an F1BB Goldendoodle which is mostly Poodle will generally be more tolerable among allergy sufferers than an F1 Goldendoodle and a lot more tolerable than a purebred Golden Retriever. If you are noticing too much loose hair around your home, there are numerous ways you can get this under control, but the most effective approaches relate to diet and grooming. Poor quality dog foods that contain lots of fillers and cheap, artificial ingredients can lead to allergies and excessive shedding, whereas high-quality kibble will give your dog everything needed to thrive. Not only can daily brushing help reduce the occurrence of mats if your Goldendoodle has long, curly hair, but it can help prevent excess shedding by helping to spread his natural skin oils and remove the dead hair that is already on the coat. So, brushing can be a very worthwhile activity. Aside from that, bathing your dog every month or two can help you remove a lot of excess old hair, especially when you combine this with a good blow dry and brush. There are other ways you can reduce shedding , but those are the approaches that tend to work well in most cases. In some cases, however, dogs can shed due to health reasons like allergies, fleas, and even disease, for example. What skin or fur issues are common with doodles? Before you start envisioning tumbleweeds of curly fur floating through your house, check out this guide to let you know what to expect from your Goldendoodle. Goldendoodles are a mix between golden retrievers and poodles. Their golden retriever side is the source of their unique curly coat from their curl gene. Depending on the roll of the genetic dice, a Goldendoodle dog can have double coats like golden retrievers, single coats like poodles, straight hair, curly hair, wavy hair, or anything in between. But no matter what type of adult coat your pet has, expect at least some shedding! Here are some signs that your dog might be a heavier shedder and that you might want to invest in that fancy vacuum cleaner : A straight coat — While curly- and wavy-haired Goldendoodles are more common and what you probably imagine when picturing one , there are also Goldendoodles with straight hair. These types of doodles shed much more than their curly counterparts. If left uncared for, Goldendoodles could be prone to uncomfortable Goldendoodle health issues , like: Matted or tangled fur Hair loss Uncomfortable itching. Diet A healthy adult coat starts from within! Your dog requires a mix of powerful proteins and healthy fatty acids like omega-3s and omega-6s to maintain a shiny coat that only minimally sheds. They could lead to a deficiency in certain nutrients, which can aggravate their skin and increase shedding. Stress A happy dog is a healthy dog. Outside of excess shedding, your dog might be exhibiting signs of stress by:1 Panting. Again, this depends on their parents. But most commonly, they have wavy hair. Those with curly hair resemble their Poodle ancestry. Those with a straight look appear more like Golden Retrievers. The latter is far easier to groom. Speaking of grooming… Length After your dogs latest trip to the groomer, how long should you wait before scheduling their next visit? Mark it on your calendar, every six weeks about does the trick. Most Goldendoodles will have regrown everything in about three to four months. Both Poodles and Golden Retrievers have longer coats. While Labradoodles could have a shorter coat, this is uncommon in Goldendoodles, if even present. All in all, a Goldendoodle is a great pet for owners with allergies. While there is no such thing as a truly hypoallergenic dog, Doodle breeds shed far less than most and are quite allergy friendly. Many Goldendoodle parents may note that their puppy's coat quickly fills with fluffy clumps as a result of this. This is a definite indication that the shift has begun for your dog! Your Goldendoodle puppy's fur is thickest at three months old. It's possible that your puppy's coat has grown to its full potential and is very well-colored at this time. Your Goldendoodle could start to lose its puppy fur and develop an adult coat between the ages of 4 and 8 months. Depending on the exact kind of fur, this process may be slow and scarcely perceptible, rapid and evident, or protracted and difficult. The color and texture of their pelt can also vary. Don't get too depressed if your puppy's fur lasts past the age of 12 months; some Doodles may continue to shed puppy fur. We mentioned earlier about grooming. While most breeds you can take to the groomer at about 12 weeks, you probably want to wait until this six-month mark to shuffle them to the stylist. This will allow most of their puppy fur to be shed. When a puppy is 6 to 10 months old, the silky puppy coat often begins to shed gradually. Your Goldendoodle will continue its gradual transformation from puppy to adult coat by the age of one. Any shedding should be minimized, and if a suitable grooming routine isn't put in place at this time, you can have issues with knots. First, the adult coat becomes stiffer and more curly. Over time, you will notice that the coat is not as soft as it used to be. Most of the time, the color will usually lighten as the dog ages. They will grey just like we will. There are a handful of reasons for changes at this age or, sometimes, younger. If your dog is one that loves daytime romps, the sun could bleach its fur over time. This is natural. Diet and nutrition can affect their coats as well. A lack of vitamins could cause them to shed and matt. You might be allergic to dogs, but your dog could also be allergic to you. Or other things too. If they do have allergies this can affect the color, texture and volume of your puppy's coat. See your vet for best practices about how to assist your dog in these instances. Inherited or communicated diseases can also affect your dog's coat. Again, your trusted vet is best suited to formulate a plan of action for managing the situation. The same goes for grooming your senior pup. Older dogs need to be treated with a bit of finesse. Have that same respect for your dog. Especially those over the age of about ten years or so. If they have arthritis, for example, be aware of those areas on their body. But what happens during the time in between hair care visits? You can even take things step by step and demonstrate how easy it can be. Keep things light. Keep things fun. Shampoo and conditioner of high quality are viable options for special treatment. There are other, less expensive options as well. When they are true puppies, you want to only wash them when they start to smell. What will really help is brushing your puppy on a regular basis. Popping out the brush once a day or every other day is recommended. Brushing their hair less than once a week will almost definitely spell disaster. You can trim things up here and there as well. Where are some trouble spots that will need to be considered when grooming your pup? These might be found at the base of their tail, beneath their ears, and in the area just above their armpits. Don't forget about the back of their haunches and elbows. The best way to learn is with hands-on experience. Ready to get your Goldendoodle today?

Tustin the happiest boy you will ever meet was in a death camp of a scary shelter in CA. Without his outstanding foster mum this would not of happened. Thank goodness this boy is so forgiving for what humans have done to him. His foster mum said he is a very spirited happy little dog. Tustin needs a home where he can sleep in bed with his new forever home so they had better make room his foster mum said for this little man in the bed with you. The absolute insanity to think this baby doll ended up in one of the highest kill shelters in CA is soul destroying. This boy screams personality, he is always on the move. Such a happy soul. Tustin just wants to be loved. The level of absolute madness here is so deeply sad for many of these beautiful souls out of CA kill shelters. He would be the type of boy who would like to experience many adventures. Tustin also enjoys wearing a good outfit. Tustin has been great with his baths because he started having them with us in his loving foster home the moment he was rescued so he is used to them. This is mandatory for his new home. We are also looking for a crate free home for the little lad only. He was left in a cage at the shelter until we rescued him. In his foster home he is with dogs. A fenced backyard is also mandatory. Please do not apply saying your neighbors have a dog or family members or you will take him to places where there are other dogs. That will not work, another dog or dogs is mandatory. He is male, neutered by laser by our wonderful vets. He is microchipped. Please do not email us asking is Tustin potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Fully vaccined 4 months pug puppy is available. In Delta, BC.

You have prepared us well for our long journey ahead with our baby boy Oakley A. A Tucker. I want to thank you for always being there to answer all my questions and the pictures you would send our way, it always brought a smile to my face. It has been 3 days since my children A. It was worth a million to see there reactions and smiles, Oakley greeted them all happy and with so much love. On our drive back we actually were afraid we left him in San Antonio lol not once did he make a sound. He gives us so much love that its so easy to give it back. He only has had 2 accidents since arriving both our faults, and he has slept through out the whole night after the first day. The first day he just woke us up twice to go potty but went back to sleep. At the vet he got checked and they said he was perfect and amazing. They were so in love with him. The vet said he was so well taken care of and it showed, we did credit it all to welcome home labs. Today he started his obedience training lessons at home and the trainer was amazed to see such a well tempered labrador. She was actually speechless as she saw how well he obeyed commands already. So thank you again for giving us our newest family addition and we only hope we can give him as much love as you have given him and that he deserves. We will keep in touch. Thank you, Angel, Jolyn, A. This is a dream come true. I have always loved labs. I have done my research on the breed and I knew what I wanted. Welcome Home Labs has fulfilled that and then some.

Ollie, originally from the USA, holds his master's degree in wildlife biology and moved to Australia to pursue his career and passion but has found a new love for working online and writing about animals of all types. Both my husband and I grew up with dogs and our families are all dog lovers. Our favorite has always been the Labrador Retriever. When we moved to the country in , we had 2 black Labradors. One was a stray and the other my husband found while hunting in the woods, cold and alone. They lived to be 13 and 15 years old but sadly died only 6 months apart. We were heartbroken but knew we had to fill our lives again with another Labrador. This time we decided, since we had a choice, to bring home a Yellow Labrador. We wanted to keep the memories of our black Labs, and start with a new, different color. After doing much research, we found the perfect dog. We were fortunate to meet Charlie Tolkien from Goldberry Labradors. His knowledge and mentorship has been invaluable over the years. He is retired now but our Goldberry lines will go on for many years to come! The blocky head and muscular build of the English style Labrador is a very desirable look. Our clients always tell us, they get compliments everywhere they go. This combination made for an amazingly calm and mellow pet. We breed for health, temperament, and looks.

We have no outside or inside kennels for our Labradors. Our Labs have a very large corral when they want to go outside to run and play safely, and a lake for additional exercise and fun. Though they spend most of their time on the furniture, lounging! The whelping box is literally in the middle of our living room, and someone is there to watch them every minute. From the whelping box, they move to a large playpen after a couple of weeks to give mom and pups more room until they are old enough to ween, walk, and play. They are weighed daily and closely watched to be sure every little one is eating well and growing every day. Their temperature is taken daily and monitored to be sure they are properly digesting their milk. When the puppies are 3 to 4 weeks old, they are moved to the kitchen where they get full exposure to the sounds and smells of family life and have room to play. During this time, we teach them to go outside after meals and when they wake from slumber. Our Labrador puppies are almost fully potty trained when they are 8 weeks old and ready to go to their forever homes. Our Labradors, every single one of them, are members of our family. They are loved and spoiled until the day they go to Heaven. We do not breed before doing OFA health testing after 2 years of age and stop when our reproductive Vet recommends that we do so.

You too will fall in love with our Yellow Labrador Retrievers!
