Stages of Puppy Development Birth to 3 weeks The first 20 days of a pups life it is not capable of much learning. The mental capacity is about nil. The pup will react when it is in need of food, sleep, warmth and its mother. During the first 3 weeks it is VERY important to look after the dam as well. She will in turn, look after the puppies. Once or twice a day the puppies should be handled by a human and they should be weighed daily. During the first 3 weeks most dams like to be in a warm secluded area, not in the family living area. Pups remain contently in their whelping box for the first 20 days of their life. Newborn puppies sleep most of the day away. No matter what the breed, this is the time when the dormant senses wake up. From day 21 to 28 puppies are in need of their mom more than any other time as their brains and nervous systems begin to develop and they become aware of their surroundings. As mom jumps out of the box, they suddenly watch her wondering where she went. Pups may start climbing out of the whelping box at this age, so it is time to expand their home. At this stage we add a small potty area beside the whelp box. If a puppy were to loose his mom at this stage it would greatly affect his emotional wellbeing. Emotional growth is just blossoming as the puppy realizes it is alive. It is also at this age that characteristics can develop like shyness and fear. Any negative characteristics that develop at this stage in life are often permanent personality traits. The puppies sleep 20 or more hours a day. They will not go far, but they will begin to explore. At this time we expand their area to add a play and eating area in the daytime. This is the time to move them out to the kitchen and family room area, where life is happening in the home. This is not the age to be in the back bedroom, garage or barn. During this time, a puppy will learn to respond to voices, sounds and recognize different people. The puppies in their group will establish a 'pecking order', some will want to lead and some will want to follow. The dominant ones will eat first and the omega ones will wait. The dominant ones can become bullies and hog all the toys. This is an important stage to watch to learn the temperaments of each puppy and should be used for placing puppies into the proper homes. Some scientific studies prove that if there is a bully in a litter that is making others cower and be shy it can set in traits that are very hard to turn around, but it is also important to leave puppies in a social group long enough to be adventurous and for the puppy to acquire some social competitive skills. On the same note, a puppy should never be allowed to get too pushy. While shyer puppies have to learn to handle themselves in social groups, a dominant puppy needs to learn it is not acceptable to be a bully. Different breeds need to be separated at different ages. Often if the bully is adopted out first the remaining puppies will loose some of their shyness. Puppies at this age sleep 18 to 20 hours a day. By 7 weeks, a pup is considered emotionally developed and ready to learn, but the pup does not possess an adult brain yet. At 7 weeks old the breeder of the pups can start crate training for an hour or two a day with 2 pups in a crate. This helps with separation anxiety. By 8 weeks of age a puppy should be able to go in a crate alone for a nap, and it is almost ready for its new home. A puppy should never be taken away from it's mother before weeks of age. The mother dog teaches the puppies in the litter manners, respect, social skills, and proper etiquette, along with many other valuable lessons. When a puppy misses this stage it can cause the pup to have future behavior issues as most humans do not understand natural dog behavior enough to teach the pup these things. What a puppy learns now will be retained and become part of who the dog becomes and his personality. Most dams stop caring for their pups by 7 weeks, as they have teeth and she pushes them away. If a pup is left with the dam during this period it's emotional development can be altered, as it remains dependent on her. The same can happen if littermates are placed together. They rely on each other instead of the new owner and they often do not find adequate security in their mom or littermate. They need their new owner to take over the role and it is important that the humans understand natural dog behavior in order to fulfill the puppies instincts and needs. First shots should be done at 7. When a puppy stays with his litter after 8 to 9 weeks of age without adequate human contact it doesn't adjust as well to a human social life. The optimum time to take a new puppy is from 8 to 9 weeks of age. It is always best to have a pup do his learning from his new owner and in his new home. Puppies are often adopted out at 8, 9, 10 or 11 weeks. Older puppies can do just fine if the breeder has spent a lot of time socializing them away from their littermates. Ideally 9 weeks seems to be the perfect age for most breeds to go to new homes. What the dog learns from 8 to 12 weeks will be with him forever. At this time the puppy must be introduced to other people and go for walks on the pavement street avoiding dirt or grass until it has had its 2nd shots. If the first shots are done at 8 weeks and second are done at 12 weeks it is a good idea to enroll in puppy kindergarten that starts right at 12 weeks. At this age on up to several months old, puppies will sleep 16 to 20 hours a day, give or take depending on the puppies energy level and the activity around them. Sleeping more during rapid growth sprurts. The sleep is broken up between night time sleep and naps during the day. It is common for a puppy to play hard, running around with bounds of energy, then suddenly crashing into a deep sleep. It is important to keep in mind that all puppies by this time have formed a general personality. Some are natural born leaders, some are middle of the road and could go either way and some are very submissive and really prefer not to lead anything. All puppies have an instinct to have a leader who can provide structure, because in their minds without it the pack cannot survive. Therefore even the most naturally born submissive dog may feel the need to take over as an alpha should they feel everyone else around them is too weak to care for the pack. These dogs are often very stressed out about their role because they really do not want it, but feel the need to lead just the same. After all, to them it's a matter of life or death. One of the biggest questions new owners call about is that the pup is an angel for the first couple weeks and then it starts to nip in an attempt to control things around it. This happens when a puppy does not see the humans as natural born leaders to which it can respect and it attempts to get the pack in order. If this happens it does not necessarily mean you got a bad puppy, but often means you are not being a good canine owner. Owners must be calm but firm and follow through. Set the rules of the home and stick to them. Teach basic obedience and how to heel on a leash. Do not let the puppy bolt out the door. Stay calm and confident and remember that dogs can feel your emotions. If you have emotional problems your dog knows and will see you as a weak being. Always remember to a dog anger is a weakness, so take a deep breath and control yourself. Should the puppy feel it is stronger minded than the humans it will not want to be at the bottom. Puppy owners should be prepared that the pup may attempt to establish itself as the dominant one in the family. This is where you need to understand a dog's natural instincts and learn their language so you can read them. It may see whether it can physically strike out at his owner like some teens and could nip or growl. Should this happen be prepared to stop the behavior immediately. It is kind of like kids wanting dessert before dinner or to stay up later. You just have to say NO. Each dog is different, just as kids are, therefore you need to figure out what works for you and your situation. If it is being aggressive one method is to pin it on its back and hold him there with a firm NO. If a pup is allowed to get away with bad behavior it will lose respect for the owner and learn that rebelling gets him his own way. The key is for the humans to be calm, confident and firm all at the same time. If you find yourself yelling or angry you as the human are out of control and need to learn how to portray yourself as someone your dog can look up to and respect. Dogs do not listen to unstable humans and anything but calm, confident and firm, to them is unstable. There should be zero tolerance for aggressiveness. Heaps of love and understanding will not stop bad behavior. A pup must be shown fast and firmly that you are the one in charge. If you have a good breeder who understands the dog even returning him for a few days can help as the breeder gets the dog back under control and you assess your own behavior and understanding of this animal you are trying to live with. Sending a dog away to be trained without training yourself never works, as the way your dog is acting often has more to do with the humans it is living with. This goes for any dog of any age. Learn how to groom your dog. Teach it to lie still for grooming and nail trimming. If you are having trouble call the breeder or a behaviorist for help. It is best to have earned a dog's respect and trust in regards to grooming by 16 weeks of age. A pups natural instinct will be to periodically try to test the order in the pack. Especially if there are children. If the owner is submissive, quiet and week, thus making the dog feel the need to lead the home, its respect for its owner will weaken and the owner will become inferior in the dogs eyes. In these cases the owner is destined to be owned by the dog and you will surely see behavior problems emerge. A puppy should have a good start on crate training when it leaves a breeder's home. Help your puppy feel secure by giving it its own bed and crate in a place where it can be alone when it needs some quiet time. It should be crated for one or two naps per day, especially when making and eating dinner and crated at night. It should not ever have the run of the house till after 6 months of age or housebreaking and training can become very difficult. A puppy should start formal obedience by 6 months of age, preferably sooner. Remember when you choose to adopt a dog you are choosing to take an animal into your home. The animal is not a human baby and humans are not born with canine instincts. Take some time to learn about the canine and be prepared to change your way of life to accommodate the new member of the family. Are you sure? It can be difficult for an owner to be certain, so it can be wise to take the dam and pups to the vet within about six hours. The vet can also check for cleft palates and inform you of options available see article on cleft palates —these pups are worth saving , but if you are pretty sure and experienced enough to know the pups are all out, it is best to leave the dam at home, as every time you take her out, and to the vet, you risk bringing home a virus. Normally after whelping she will stop shivering and panting, clean her pups and herself and settle down to feed her pups…. If all seems normal, I just call my vet and let him know what has happened. Take the dam out to relieve herself, and give her some fluids. Chicken broth or Mamalac are good. I give chicken broth, chicken and rice for first meal. Freshen her up with a sponge bath and put nice clean bedding down for her and her new family. If you are using a heating pad it is extremely important that it is enclosed securely in padding so a pup cannot get caught down there under the bedding…. Some new moms try to bury their pups. My whelping box has a wooden bottom, and the heating pad goes UNDER the box, under the plywood floor; this makes a nice radiant heated whelping box floor. If it is black call your vet. Discharge lasts for about a week, slowly turning clearer. If it continues, or develops a foul odor, call the vet. Some dams spot blood for a week or two. If the dam is a new mother, and unsure, make her nurse as the nursing will trigger the release of hormones into her bloodstream, which will help encourage her mothering instincts meaning the more the dam nurses, the more loving she becomes Full supervision is recommended until she has accepted the fact that she is a loving mom. For some breeds, like the giant and clumsy breeds, pups cannot go with the dams for a week or two, but must go in an incubator and be put with the dam every two to four hours. Check your breed. I personally sleep next to my dam and puppies for a few nights, to ensure she does not roll on a puppy, or a puppy does not get out of the bunch and get chilled, etc…. They are VERY susceptible to cold. Make sure there are NO drafts. I leave a baby monitor on, and if a puppy is crying more than usual, I go to see why. Sometimes a puppy will latch on so tightly to the dam that he gets dragged out of the box, sometimes he is lost in the blankets. I make large pillow-like cases from sheets to contain the blankets, so that the puppies cannot get lost in the folds. Your whelping box should have guardrails to help protect the puppies that crawl behind the dam from suffocation and squishing. They need and get constant care from the dam; they cannot even relieve themselves without her stimulation…. She will keep the whelping box very clean for the first couple weeks up to three weeks. Then it is your job.It is wise to weigh the pups twice daily for the first week, and once a day after that. My goal is for pups to start gaining right away, and not have that drop. Feed the dam three times daily three times normal amount of food or more. Check her milk glands twice daily for mastitis swollen, hard teats. If you notice an excess of milk, she will become uncomfortable and restless. This can be relieved by squeezing the teat; draining some milk will reduce the pressure. If you fail to relieve pressure, call your vet. Milk fever is serious, and talked about on the whelping page, as it can come before puppies, but is normally more common when milk is being produced. Some dams need extra calcium. Eyes should open on day 8 to 13 never attempt to open the eyes. Ears should open on day 13 to .Change the bedding in the box several times per day, but do not change the paper often keep it smelling like a toilet and keep the bed smelling like a fresh bed… The puppies will be paper trained by 3 weeks…. By 4 weeks, you will need to expand their home again to include a play area. At three weeks, their teeth are developing. Some large breeds are ready to try soft food and toys. They can lap water and Mamalac. Slowly add soaked puppy kibble. For smaller breeds of dogs, they do not need food till 4 or 5 weeks old. Also, all litters are different. A litter of eight puppies will need food sooner than a litter of three puppies, even if just to give the dam a break. If the Dam is feeding the pups, there is no crying and they are content, then do not rush weaning. Now the Fun Begins.The puppies have arrived. They have been weighed and identified; they have nursed and are now sleeping quietly except for the normal twitching. Now what? Your job is not over yet, in fact, it's really just beginning. Nutrition and Feeding The mother will be ready for some food and water. Bring the dishes to the whelping box, as she will not want to leave the newborn puppies. Do not leave the dishes on the floor in the whelping box, as the puppies could crawl into them. Hang the dishes from the side of the whelping box or offer her food and water at least every hours to start. She should be taken outside on a frequent and regular basis to relieve herself. Within days, the mother's appetite will dramatically increase to times her pre-pregnancy intake. She will need a near constant supply of a high quality puppy food do NOT use large breed puppy formulas, which are generally lower in protein, fat, and minerals and water to maintain her weight and health while feeding the puppies. She should not look gaunt or thin if her weight is maintained. Ideally, she should weigh the same at the time of weaning, as she did when she was bred. A healthy puppy is firm, plump, and vigorous. Puppies should nurse every 2 hours or so. If they nurse until their stomachs appear round and they sleep quietly, they are eating enough. If they are crying and moving a lot, they are not eating enough. They may be swallowing air, which makes the stomach appear larger. As they become weaker, they will lay still and not cry. Their weight should double in the first days. Before, during, and after nursing, the mother will lick the stomach and perineal area to stimulate urination and defecation. She will continue to do this for weeks. Weigh the puppy daily for the first 2 weeks, then weigh at least weekly. A food scale typically works well for weighing the puppies. Failure to gain weight is often the first sign of illness in puppies. At about 3 weeks of age, the puppies will begin to imitate the mother's eating and drinking. A secure shallow water dish should now be available at least part of the day. Prepare the puppy mush by placing 2 cups of high quality dry puppy food in a blender with .This should be blended until the consistency of human infant cereal. This feeds puppies of a medium-sized breed. The puppies should receive meals a day of this to start. Once the puppies have checked it out, walked in it, and have eaten some, the mother can be allowed to finish it and clean the puppies off. Each week, increase the amount of food, decrease the amount of the milk replacer and water that is added and the time of blending, so by 7 weeks of age, the puppies are eating dry food. Once they are on dry food, it may be left in with the puppies when the mother is out of the box or the meal times can continue. As the puppies eat more solid food, the mother may be let away from the puppies for an ever longer period of time. If the weaning is not rushed, she will naturally start decreasing milk production, as the puppies increase their intake of solid food. As the puppies begin eating the puppy mush at 4 weeks of age, start changing the mother's diet back to adult food to also help her decrease milk production. Keep increasing the adult food and decreasing the puppy food until by the 7th week postpartum she is eating only adult food. Hopefully she has been fed well during pregnancy and lactation so she weighs the same at weaning as she did before pregnancy. Want to learn how to save on your dog's veterinary care? Click here Sanitation and Housebreaking During and after whelping, the mother should be allowed to go outside to urinate and defecate. Take her out on a leash bring a flashlight if it is dark , and watch her closely, as she could have another puppy. The whelping box needs to be changed at least once a day at this stage, and times a day as the puppies begin eating solids and the mother is not cleaning up after them. A large heavy paper may be laid on the bottom, several layers of newspaper over that, and a tightly stretched blanket over the newspaper. The blanket should be large enough to fit under all 4 sides of the box. If the box was made so the sides set into the floor, the sides are picked up, the blanket stretched, and the sides set down to hold the blanket in place. Puppies can become lost under blankets or under wrinkles in blankets. When cleaning, check the consistency and color of the puppy stool. It should be brown and formed, but not overly firm. Any deviations and the veterinarian should be contacted. To facilitate housebreaking, the puppies should be given definite feeding, playing, sleeping, and elimination areas. Once the puppies are mobile, they will use one area for elimination. Cover this area with a layer of newspapers with cedar or pine shavings on top. The new owners then place a small amount of cedar or pine shavings in the preferred location of their yard to aid in housebreaking. Keep the elimination area clean and dry. Puppies head toward the heat source to nurse so do not have the heat source warmer than the mother. Hanging a household thermometer on the inside of the whelping box will help you know the temperature in the box. Puppies typically lay side by side or on top of each other to share warmth. If the puppies are scattered throughout the whelping box and away from the heat lamp, the temperature is too warm. If they are all piled on top of each other, it may be too cold. Puppies need the extra heat, as they are unable to regulate their body temperature until several weeks old. Health of the Mother Each mammary gland and nipple should be checked at least once a day for redness, hardness, discharge, or streaking color. If mastitis develops, the veterinarian should be notified immediately. If caught early, milking out the affected gland and applying hot compresses will help prevent a spread of the problem. Sometimes, antibiotics are necessary. If she gets multiple glands with mastitis, the puppies will need to be bottle fed. The puppies' nails should be trimmed weekly starting within days of birth. This will help prevent some of the scratches on the mother's mammary glands. The deciduous teeth start coming in around day .Check the mammary glands of the mother daily for bite marks. The mother will have a bloody discharge from her vulva which may be quite heavy for several days. It should decrease in amount and become darker and be almost gone within weeks. The mother's hair may have become very thick and luxurious during the pregnancy. Around the time of weaning, the mother starts to shed. This extreme loss of hair coat is natural and it should be back to normal in about another months. This shedding is more extreme than a normal shed cycle and some mothers become quite bald. This is often called 'blowing a coat. Click here Puppy Healthcare Puppies who are not thriving should be examined as soon as possible by a veterinarian to check for birth defects. Some defects, such as a cleft palate are not compatible with life. These puppies should be humanely euthanized. Dewclaws are removed and tails docked at days of age. Make an appointment with your veterinarian for these procedures to be done. Check your breed's standard, as some breeds need to have dewclaws left intact in order to show. Tail length changes, so again, the current breed standard should be consulted. When the puppies are at the clinic and having these procedures done, the mother should be taken for a walk around the block until the puppies are done. She should not be close enough to the clinic to hear the puppies crying. Once they are put back with the mother, the puppies normally nurse and then sleep. Vaccinations are started at weeks of age. Some breeders give a parvo virus vaccine at 5 weeks of age, if the puppies are at a high-risk. Ask your veterinarian if your puppies should be vaccinated early for parvo virus. They recommend puppy deworming for roundworms and hookworms start at 2 weeks of age and be repeated at 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. Thereafter, use a heart worm preventive medication that is also effective against hookworms and roundworms. Foster and Smith suggest that owners of newly acquired puppies obtain the deworming history of their new pup and contact their veterinarian to determine if additional deworming is needed. The mother should be dewormed at the same time as the puppies. A health check done by a veterinarian at weeks of age before the puppies head for new homes should include checks for heart murmurs, hernias, cryptorchidism, demodectic mange, other parasites, eye disorders, etc. Normal puppy development The umbilical cord normally falls off within days of birth. Infections of the umbilicus are rare in clean, well-managed kennels. Puppies normally twitch and jerk while sleeping. This helps with the development of their nerves and muscles. The puppies crawl well by days, walk at 16 days, and have a normal gait at 21 days. They need to be on footing that offers traction. By 4 weeks of age, the puppies follow each other and carry toys in their mouths. They will play-fight with each other and learn how to inhibit their bites. If a puppy bites a littermate too hard, the littermate will yelp and stop playing with him. If the puppy is allowed to bite humans, he will not learn to inhibit his bite. It may be cute as a 7-week old, but it will not be as a 7-year old. Puppies are born without teeth. The deciduous baby teeth start to erupt at weeks of age. All of the deciduous teeth are usually present by 8 weeks of age. The puppies' eyes will open around days of age. The retina matures around 21 days of age. Puppies should see clearly by 4 weeks of age. Do not pry open the lids for any reason, as the immature eye is not yet ready to handle light. If the eyes appear swollen before they open, take the puppy to a veterinarian immediately as an eye infection may be present that needs to be treated to prevent loss of vision. Some puppies will take a day to open the eyes while others will take days. The eyes will have a bluish color to them at first and then change to their adult color over time. If the eyes appear white or solid blue, take the puppy to the veterinarian right away. The ears open at days of age. They should hear clearly by 4 weeks of age. Deafness may not be noticeable while the puppies are together and first noticed when the puppy is in her new home. Interactions Between the Mother and Puppies By the time the puppies are weeks old, the mother should have an area near the whelping box, but separate from the puppies to allow her time to rest. At about this time, the puppies will start trying to leave the box to explore. They should be well supervised and have safe toys available. The box at this point should be big enough to be divided between eating, sleeping, playing, and eliminating rooms. At this stage, a crate with the door removed and lined with sheepskin or a dog bed can be given to the puppies for sleeping quarters and to familiarize them with crates. Puppy Socialization Early socialization of the puppies will help them become confident and develop fewer behavior problems. The puppies should be exposed to everything possible from metal food dishes dropping, to vacuums, garage doors opening and closing, thunderstorms, sirens, garbage trucks going past, cats, and other pets, etc. Do not try to keep the area quiet during the day. The puppies need to get used to normal household noises. Children should be allowed to play outside the whelping box supervised so they do not enter the box or drop toys in , as children behave differently than adults. Everything the puppy is exposed to now, will help her become a well-socialized, unafraid adult. The puppies should be handled several times a day. They can be picked up, their teeth looked at, ears checked, toes played with nails will need a weekly trimming , and have anything that may be done as an adult started slowly now. Play helps to develop the puppy's mind, as he needs to find solutions to problems he encounters. If the puppies are not in new homes by 10 weeks of age, they should be separated from each other for a large part of the day and given one-on-one time with humans. They can have play times during the day, but they should eat, sleep, and be handled separately. Being in a kennel group situation beyond weeks of age decreases trainability.

For heating the pups in the whelping box particle board construction with adjustable entrance and pig rails , we have a lectro-kennel pad in part of it. There is a window into the rest of the shop from the room; for mama dogs' sake, I wish we had a window to the outside.But it's not a kennel setup, so it's not perfect. The pups stay in this room for weeks.When they are big enough to move outside, they spend the nights in a chain-link fenced kennel about 8 x 13 feet on gravel. If they have to be kenneled while we're home, then we can open that up to an adjacent kennel the same size. Puppy pen- I wouldn't use hogwire. We've had pups almost hang themselves in the stuff really young pups can hang up in diamond chain link too ; albeit I think the hogwire type fence we used had smaller increments than regular hogwire. Anyways, we supervised them closely when they were in this pen. Size-wise I think the largest you can provide, the better, as long as it's safe. We've used 10x10 too but it just seemed too small especially when they were weeks old. The cement blocks should work fine. Our puppy pens are on the grass and then we just move it around the yard when the grass seems to be getting too worn out.

Breeds The link has been copied! White French Bulldogs are a beloved breed known for their unique appearance and charming personalities. With their trademark bat ears, compact size, and friendly demeanor, they have captured the hearts of dog lovers all over the world. In this guide, we will explore the history, characteristics, and care of White French Bulldogs, as well as important information about their health and training needs. Whether you are a seasoned dog owner or considering adding a White French Bulldog to your family for the first time, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to give your furry friend the best possible life. Origin of White French Bulldogs The origin of the White French Bulldog can be traced back to the early 19th century when bulldogs were popular among working-class people in England. At that time, bulldogs were bred for bull-baiting, a bloodsport where dogs were trained to attack and kill bulls. However, when bull-baiting was banned in England in , bulldog breeding shifted towards creating smaller, more companionable dogs. During the industrial revolution, many English craftsmen and workers emigrated to France, taking their bulldogs with them. In France, the breed continued to be developed and refined, leading to the emergence of the French Bulldog, also known as the "Frenchie. In the US, the Frenchie was further developed, and breeders began to selectively breed for specific traits, including size, color, and temperament. One of the colors that emerged from this breeding process was white. While white Frenchies have always existed, they were not considered a separate color until the late 20th century when they began to gain popularity. It is worth noting that white French Bulldogs, like other colored Frenchies, can be prone to health problems such as breathing difficulties, skin allergies, and spinal issues due to their brachycephalic short-muzzled features. It is important for prospective owners to be aware of these potential health issues and choose a reputable breeder who prioritizes the health and welfare of their dogs. French Bulldog Popularity One of the reasons for the popularity of the white French Bulldog is their unique appearance. The pure white coat, combined with the breed's distinctive bat ears and compact body, makes for an adorable and photogenic dog. White Frenchies are also considered by some to be a more rare and exclusive variation of the breed, which can add to their appeal. Additionally, French Bulldogs, in general, have become increasingly popular in recent years, consistently ranking in the top 5 most popular dog breeds in the United States. The Frenchie's playful, affectionate personality and low exercise requirements make them a popular choice for city dwellers and families alike. Furthermore, the breed's small size and adaptability to different living environments make them appealing to a wide range of people, from single professionals living in apartments to families with young children. Appearance and Physical Features French Bulldogs, including the white variation, are known for their unique and distinctive appearance. Here are some of the key physical features of the breed: Size: French Bulldogs are a small breed, typically weighing between 16 and 28 pounds and standing 11 to 12 inches tall at the shoulder. They have a compact and muscular body, with a broad chest, rounded ribcage, and short legs. Head: The Frenchie's head is large and square-shaped, with a flat forehead and a short, wide muzzle. Their most distinctive feature is their large, bat-like ears, which are set high on the head and stand erect. Coat: White French Bulldogs have a short, smooth, and fine coat that is pure white in color. The coat is soft to the touch and requires minimal at hom grooming. Eyes: French Bulldogs have large, round eyes that are set wide apart. The eyes are typically dark in color, although lighter-colored eyes can also occur. Nose: The Frenchie's nose is broad and black, with wide nostrils that allow for easy breathing. Tail: French Bulldogs have a short, stubby tail that is either straight or screwed, meaning it has a slight curve at the end. The white French Bulldog has a charming and unique appearance that has made it a popular breed among dog lovers. However, it's important to note that the breed's distinctive physical features, including its short muzzle and compact body, can also make them prone to certain health issues such as breathing difficulties, overheating, and spinal problems. Prospective owners should be aware of these potential health concerns and choose a reputable breeder who prioritizes the health and welfare of their dogs. Temperament and personality traits White French Bulldogs, like all French Bulldogs, are known for their playful, affectionate, and sociable personalities. Here are some of the key temperament and personality traits of the breed: Friendly: Frenchies are typically very friendly and enjoy being around people. They are known for their sociable nature and are generally good with children and other pets. Loyal: White French Bulldogs are loyal and devoted to their owners, often following them around the house and wanting to be close to them at all times. Playful: French Bulldogs are playful and enjoy games and activities that stimulate their minds and bodies. They are a great choice for families with children, as they love to play and interact with kids. Relaxed: Despite their playful nature, Frenchies are also known for their relaxed and laid-back attitude. They do not require a lot of exercise and are content to spend their days lounging around the house with their owners. Affectionate: White French Bulldogs are known for their affectionate nature and love to cuddle and snuggle with their owners. They are often called "lap dogs" due to their tendency to want to be close to their owners at all times. Adaptable: French Bulldogs are adaptable and can thrive in a variety of living situations. They are a good choice for city dwellers, as they do not require a lot of space or exercise. They are also a good choice for families with children, as they are generally good with kids. Exercise and Activity Needs White French Bulldogs have a relatively low energy level and do not require a lot of exercise to stay healthy and happy. However, it's still important to ensure they get enough physical activity to keep them mentally stimulated and prevent boredom. To meet their exercise needs, it's recommended to aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise per day, which can be broken up into several shorter walks or play sessions. It's important to be mindful of the weather conditions and avoid overexertion during hot weather, as Frenchies are sensitive to heat. Also, keep an eye on their breathing during exercise, as they can be prone to respiratory problems. In addition to daily walks, you can also engage white French Bulldog in interactive playtime, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle games that require problem-solving skills. This type of mental stimulation can be just as beneficial as physical exercise and can help prevent destructive behavior. Trainability and Intelligence White French Bulldogs are generally intelligent and trainable, but they can also be stubborn at times. To effectively train them, it's best to use positive reinforcement techniques such as rewards-based training and clicker training. Consistency and patience are key when training a white French Bulldog. Short, frequent training sessions tend to be more effective than longer, less frequent sessions. It's also important to socialize them from a young age, exposing them to different people, animals, and situations to prevent behavioral issues and ensure they are well-adjusted and confident. With consistent training and socialization, white French Bulldogs can be well-behaved and obedient pets. However, it's important to understand their stubborn streak and use patience and understanding during training. Caring for White French Bulldogs Diet and Nutrition White French Bulldogs require a diet that is high in protein, low in fat, and free of fillers and by-products. Feeding dog a diet that is appropriate for their age, activity level, and size can help prevent weight gain, obesity, and other health issues.

However, they do shed moderately and require regular brushing to remove loose hair and prevent matting. Here are some tips for grooming White French Bulldog: Brush the dog's coat at least once a week to remove loose hair and prevent matting. Use a soft bristle brush or rubber grooming glove to avoid irritating dog's skin. Clean dog's wrinkles and folds daily to prevent infections and skin irritations. Use a damp cloth or baby wipe to gently clean the area, being careful not to get water or soap in dog's eyes or ears. Bathe dog once a month or as needed. Use a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo formulated for dogs to avoid irritating their skin. Health Concerns and Common Medical Issues White French Bulldogs are prone to several health issues, including hip dysplasia, respiratory problems, and skin allergies.

Frenchies with pure-white coats will cost more than those with spots of other colors such as black throughout their coat. What White Frenchies look like While you may think that all White Frenchies look the same— this is not the case. As mentioned earlier, there are a few different variations of White French Bulldogs, with some having colors such as Fawn or Black throughout their coat. The Role of Color in Hearing You may be wondering how the color of the coat could affect hearing. A lack of pigment cells The reason for this is that these genes are associated with a lack of pigment cells which give the appearance of their coats. This affects the small hairs in the ear There are small hairs in the inner ear that are called cilia, and when there is an extreme lack of pigment cells, the cilia may not develop properly, resulting in deafness. Hearing tests can rule out deafness If you are interested in a predominantly white French Bulldog or are just concerned about the possibility of your new puppy being deaf, be sure to ask your breeder about performing a BAER test. Test for Health Issues. White merle Not all white Frenchies are albino, though this can be the case. White French Bulldogs should be bought from an experienced breeder who understands exactly how to breed healthy white French Bulldogs. White French Bulldog health problems White dogs are often thought to have inherent problems but, contrary to popular belief, not all white French Bulldogs are plagued with health issues. All Frenchies are susceptible to brachycephalic syndrome because of their short nasal passages and there are a number of other known health conditions that can afflict any purebred French Bulldog of any color. If a French Bulldog is white because of albinism — a genetic disorder characterized by a complete or partial lack of the pigment melanin in the eyes, skin, and hair — it will have a pinkish tinge to its skin and eyes. Deafness in White French Bulldogs It is often thought that albino white French Bulldogs are deaf, but there is no evidence specifically linking albinism and deafness. Hearing problems can occur in the trademark bat ears any color of French Bulldog and have various causes. A study of congenital deafness deafness at birth concluded that deafness at birth can occur in French Bulldogs but the presence of white fur seems to increase the likelihood of it occurring. There are high chances of health implications for such a Frenchie including deafness, blindness, or both. This is the main reason why two Merle Frenchies should not be bred and a responsible breeder will avoid this. White French Bulldogs Skin problems Just as fair skin people can burn more easily in the sun, so can white French Bulldogs. This means it is imperative to limit the amount of time they spend in direct sunlight to prevent sunburn and the possibility of skin cancer developing. Eye conditions in White French Bulldogs French Bulldogs, those with white coats included, can develop a number of eye conditions. These include cataracts, cherry eye, dry eye, and corneal ulcers. It is thought that white French Bulldogs are more prone to this condition. The range of white French Bulldog coat patterns and markings French Bulldogs can have white fur in their coats for three reasons: When only their skin cells do not produce any pigment. When they have albinism which causes a lack of pigmentation in all cells including fur and eyes. When they have a genetic disorder known as Leucism which causes a lack of pigmentation everywhere except the eyes. Some Frenchies are totally white and some have patterns that include white. There are also several Frenchie colors that have a white chest blaze. If a Frenchie is white because it has Leucism, it will look like an albino but will have colored eyes. A non-albino white French Bulldog usually has brown eyes. If it has no other colors, patterns, or markings, it is classed as solid white. It is very rare to see such a white Frenchie without a black mask but occasionally this may be a lot paler. White Pied French Bulldog Pied, also known as piebald is a term that simply means having two or more colors. With a Frenchie, Brindle typically appears as black stripes on a fawn background. A White Brindle French Bulldog is predominantly white with patches of brindled fur across its face, neck, and body. It effectively dilutes the intended color. Occasionally white Merle French bulldogs develop this color because they have inherited two dominant Merle genes, one from each parent. White French Bulldogs with the double merle genes are often deaf, blind, or both. There is also a chance of them having far worse physical conditions at birth. How much is a white French Bulldog? It is always difficult to state an exact price for a French Bulldog because they fluctuate all the time and depend upon many variables including fashion, availability, color, bloodlines, and demand. The French Bulldog is a popular dog and demand keeps rising. White French Bulldogs are expensive compared to other purebred dogs because they are not easy to breed. Also if someone specifically wants a white Frenchie, and a breeder notices a rise in demand for this color, this will lead to an artificially high price. If you spot a white French Bulldog for sale, ensure you are given proof of its health before you buy in light of the inherent health problems that can occur with certain types of white coats. Occasionally their eyes are light brown and sometimes they almost look black. Non-standard eye colors are blue or green. As white French Bulldog blue eyes are often linked to albinism or double merle, it is wise to have a sight test carried out on such a dog to ensure it has good vision. Are White French Bulldogs rare? White is one of the most common French Bulldog Colors. A French Bulldog often has white in its coat with other patterns and markings but it is quite rare to see a solid white Frenchie. Some breeders might attempt to breed a white litter but should never do this by mating two Merle dogs because of the health implications. Reputable breeders concentrate on producing healthy Frenchies as opposed to specific colors, so healthy white Frenchies should occur by chance only. Other useful White French Bulldog facts Lifespan The life expectancy of a healthy white French bulldog is 10 to 12 years, the same as any other color. However, Frenchie owners need to keep a close watch for problems, especially with hearing and sight. Annual vaccinations and health checks are essential as are a healthy diet and the right level of exercise. Air travel is not recommended for dogs with short nasal passages because of associated breathing difficulties. Also, white Frenchies and any other color cannot swim for very long because of their weight distribution, large head, and short muzzles so should be kept away from water or always wear a doggie life jacket. Size Like other colors, white French Bulldogs can weigh up to 28 lbs and reach a height of 11 to 13 inches. Frenchies are prone to excessive weight gain so ensure you feed yours the right amount to prevent it from developing weight-related illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease. Characteristics A white French Bulldog has a square head, a short muzzle, a wrinkly face, and bat ears. Its body is compact and muscular. In general, Frenchies have smooth, short coats that are easy to care for and require minimum grooming. Because of its short nasal passages, this breed tends to be a mouth breather and consequently drools more than the average dog! Frenchies can also be a bit smelly but there are ways to manage this. Temperament A white French bulldog has the same gentle, friendly temperament as those with other coat colors. They are great dogs to have around children because of their playful , outgoing natures. Being a sociable breed, the Frenchie prefers someone to be around most of the time and does not like to be left alone. Ideal for A white Frenchie can fit into many lifestyles. White French Bulldog names When you own a white French Bulldog, it just has to have a befitting name. Here are a few perfect names: Pure White. This is because White Frenchies have become increasingly popular, raising the number of breeders involved in their creation. It is important to note that white French Bulldogs can sometimes have health issues, such as deafness or skin problems, due to their coat color. As such, it is essential to research breeders carefully and ensure that any white French Bulldog you adopt comes from a responsible breeder who has taken steps to minimize the risk of health issues. However, they may not fare well in show competitions and conformation rings due to their association with deafness. Check out this unbelievably cute and happy White Frenchie: White Frenchie vs. Cream Frenchie White Frenchies have a pure white coat, while cream Frenchies have a slightly yellowish or beige tint to their coat. This color difference is due to a pigment called pheomelanin, which is responsible for the red or brown coloration in dogs. Cream Frenchies have a low concentration of pheomelanin, which gives them their cream or beige color. Regarding health, there is no significant difference between white and cream Frenchies. Both colors are prone to the same health issues that affect the breed, such as respiratory problems and skin allergies. However, it is essential to note that white Frenchies may be more susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer due to their lower pigment levels. As you can see, while these two colors seem strikingly similar, some key differences distinguish them. White Frenchie vs. However, White Frenchies have black noses, dark eyes, and black paw pads. On the other hand, an albino French Bulldog has a white coat with pink or blue eyes, a pink nose, and pale paw pads. Albinism is a genetic condition that affects melanin production, affecting everything, from color to skin, hair, and eyes. Albino Frenchies lack melanin, which causes their pink or blue eyes and pink nose and paw pads. This condition can also cause sensitivity to sunlight and other health issues.

The breed was then brought back to England and America, where it gained popularity as a companion dog. The French Bulldog comes in various colors, including fawn, brindle, and black. However, the white French Bulldog is a more recent breed variation. This is because White Frenchies were initially considered a fault in the breed standard due to their association with deafness. Today, white French Bulldogs are a popular variation of the breed and can be found in many countries around the world. They are known for their affectionate and playful nature, making them a great choice for families and individuals. Even molecular and gene testing centers identify the e allele in white dogs. However, experts have identified other genes for the white color in dogs. For example, Dr. Little allocated white spotting and extreme white spotting almost all white to the S locus. He also theorized that a Cch allele faded phaeomelanin to cream, Ce faded phaeomelanin to white, and Ca caused albinism. Some link whiteness in dogs to the Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor MITF , which has been linked to deafness too. They have a short, smooth, and fine coat that is predominantly white. Their coat is soft to the touch and requires minimal grooming. The head of the White French Bulldog is large and square-shaped, with a very short muzzle and a black nose. Their eyes are round and dark in color, and their ears are erect and bat-like. The White French Bulldog has a short, sturdy neck, broad shoulders, and a deep chest. Their legs are short, muscular, and paws compact and round. They have a short and smooth tail that is either straight or slightly curved. The average height of a White French Bulldog is between 11 and 12 inches cm , and they weigh between 16 and 28 pounds kg. They are friendly and sociable with their family and love to be around people. They make great companions for families with children, as they are patient and gentle with kids. These dogs are also very loyal and protective of their family. They have a strong instinct to protect their loved ones and will bark at any perceived threat. These are sassy dogs with big personalities, so plenty of socialization is vital. White French Bulldogs are moderately intelligent and easy to train. They respond well to positive reinforcement techniques and are eager to please their owners. They can be stubborn sometimes, but with patience and consistency, you can train them to obey commands. One thing to remember is that White French Bulldogs can be prone to separation anxiety. They do not like to be left alone for long periods and may become destructive if bored or anxious. Providing plenty of exercise and mental stimulation is essential to keep them happy and healthy. Here are some of the most common health issues: Deafness White or partially white dogs are more likely to be deaf. Other white dogs like Norwegian Dunkerhounds and Cocker Spaniels also reported high deafness levels. Sunburn and Skin Problems White French Bulldogs have a higher risk of sunburn and skin problems due to their light skin color. It is best to keep them indoors during peak sun hours and to apply pet-safe sunscreen to their skin when they go outside. Skin problems like allergies, hot spots, and skin fold dermatitis are also common among Frenchies, and it is vital to keep their skin clean and dry to prevent these issues. Breathing Difficulties These dogs are susceptible to Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome due to their short muzzles. This causes wheezing and sometimes dry heaving. Eye Problems White French Bulldogs are also prone to several eye problems. Brachycephalic ocular syndrome, glaucoma, corneal ulcers, dry eye, cherry eye, and entropion are some of the eye problems that can affect Frenchies. Regular eye checkups with a veterinarian catch any eye problems early on. Musculoskeletal Issues Musculoskeletal issues like hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, and intervertebral disc disease are common among Frenchies. These issues can cause pain and discomfort for the dog and may require surgery or other treatments. Neurological Issues Neurological issues like hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, can be seen in some Frenchies. This condition can cause seizures, blindness, and other neurological symptoms. Dental Issues Their crowded teeth and narrow jaw can lead to dental problems such as misalignment, gum disease, and tooth decay. The compact space in their mouths makes it challenging to maintain proper oral hygiene, increasing the risk of plaque and tartar buildup. Mild to Moderate Issues Mild to moderate issues such as allergies, ear infections, obesity, and stomach sensitivities are also common among white Frenchies. However, they still require regular grooming to keep their coat healthy and shiny. Here are some grooming needs for a white French Bulldog: Brushing Regular brushing is essential to keep the coat of a white French Bulldog in good condition. It helps to remove loose hair, dirt, and debris from the coat. Using a pet grooming glove can be a great way to brush a French Bulldog, allowing for a gentle massage while removing loose hair. Bathing White French Bulldogs should bathe every month or as needed. It is essential to use a dog shampoo and conditioner that is gentle on their skin. After bathing, it is crucial to dry them off thoroughly with absorbent towels to prevent any skin infections. Nail Trimming Regular nail trimming is essential to prevent overgrowth and discomfort for your furry friend. It is best to trim their nails once a month. Use dog nail trimmers to avoid cutting the quick of the nail, which can cause bleeding and pain. It is essential to clean their eyes and ears regularly with ear and eye wipes explicitly made for canines. This will help prevent any infections and keep your dog healthy. Sun Protection White French Bulldogs are susceptible to sunburn due to their light-colored coat. It is important to apply sunscreen to their nose, ears, and any other exposed skin when they are outside for extended periods. Use sunscreen made for dogs to avoid any potential harm. Dental Care Brush their teeth at least twice weekly to remove plaque and alternate with a canine mouthwash. Diet and Nutrition White French Bulldogs require a balanced diet to maintain optimal health. A diet that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates is best. Protein is essential for muscle development and maintenance. Some good protein sources for White French Bulldogs include chicken, turkey, lamb, and fish. Exercise Requirements White French Bulldogs require regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight and prevent boredom. The amount of activity they need depends on age, weight, and overall health. Generally, they need at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. White Frenchies can find it difficult for them to breathe, especially in hot weather. Owners should be mindful of the temperature and avoid exercising their White French Bulldog during the hottest parts of the day. These dogs are below average in intelligence but are eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. Crate training, obedience, and socialization are key training aspects. Avoid using punishment or physical force during training, as this can damage the bond between you and your dog.

However, before deciding to adopt, there are a few essential things to consider. French Bulldogs are known for their affectionate and playful personalities but also require much attention and care. They are prone to specific health issues, such as respiratory problems and skin allergies, so it is crucial to prepare for potential medical expenses. When adopting a White French Bulldog, it is best to check with local animal shelters and rescue organizations. These organizations often have French Bulldogs available for adoption and can provide valuable information about the breed and its needs. Some French Bulldog rescue organizations include:. Facts French Bulldogs are a popular breed of dog, known for their characteristic Frenchie face and bat-like ears. They come in a variety of colors, including brindle, black, and fawn. However, one coloration that is becoming increasingly popular is the white French Bulldog. White French Bulldogs are just like any other French Bulldog, except they have a white coat. Breed Overview Small to medium 11 — 12 inches Weight: 20 — 28 pounds for males, pounds for females Lifespan: 10 — 12 years Colors: Fawn, fawn and white, fawn brindle, brindle, brindle and white, cream, white and brindle, white and fawn Suitable for: Families looking for a playful, easy-to-groom lapdogs that does not require a lot of space. Read on to learn more about these gorgeous dogs. 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. Lacemakers in the area raised a lot of toy-size Bulldogs during that time in an effort to breed smaller dogs selectively. The toy bulldog became a mascot for this profession as a result. During the decline of the lacemaking industry in England, many workers relocated to the French countryside, where they developed distinctive traits in these smaller and smaller dogs. So, although originally from England, the breed was refined and improved in France until it became what we know today as the French Bulldog. One of the earliest depictions of an all-white French Bulldog is from this period, a white-glazed terracotta statue made in France sometime in the s. During the s, the colors in existence began to diversify. In a short time, there was an explosion of interest in more unusual colorations and a wide variety of colors and patterns present in French Bulldogs today. Breed standards allow some colors and forbid others. This is because some colors are connected to genetic defects, and, depending on its markings and parentage, the all-white Frenchie is a dog that can have serious hereditary health issues. In the Breed Standard , however, the AKC lists a number of disqualifiers that limit the type of white Frenchie that can be recognized. Some of these limitations are to stop unhealthy white dogs from being bred. These disqualifiers include a dog with blue or green eyes, or even any traces of blue or green in their eyes, noses with a color other than black, although cream and fawn-colored dogs may have other lighter colored noses , and all coat colors other than those specifically described which includes merle. Many factors contribute to the rare presence of white French Bulldogs, including the genes for albinism, leucism, merle and double merle, and brindle or piebald. Albinism A white French Bulldog is not necessarily an albino dog. In fact, albino characteristics are not a significant cause of white Frenchies, because albinism is a recessive trait, meaning both parents must pass it on to their pups. Albino puppies are prone to sunburn and have congenital sensory issues, so they may not live very healthy lives. Leucism In leucism, pigmentation is partially lost. Leucistic White Frenchies have spots of another color on their white coats. Leucism differs from albinism in that albinism is a complete lack of pigment. Leucism does not affect the color of the eye, while albinism does. Brindle or Piebald Brindles or piebalds are white French Bulldogs with markings. As long as they have a majority of the color white on their bodies, they are considered White Frenchies. There are many white-coat color and color markings allowed by the Breed Standard, including white and brindle, cream, cream and white, white and fawn, and white, brindle, and fawn. Merle genes can produce mottled patches of color on solid or piebald coats, blue or odd-colored eyes, and affect skin pigmentation. These dogs will also be white, but they are much more likely to have eye defects or be deaf. Even if these pups are born sighted and with hearing, they are much more likely to go blind and deaf as they age. French Bulldogs with blue eyes are likely to carry the merle gene or albinism, and they are prone to several eye diseases, as well as deafness, and skin cancer. It is important to be aware of this when caring for a White French Bulldog and to take steps to help keep their skin healthy and free of irritation. You might want to limit their time outside or keep them shaded. You can also purchase doggie SPF for their sensitive parts. A Cream-Colored or Piebald-Colored Frenchie Will Be a Healthier Dog You are better off with a very pale cream colored or white with minimal piebald markings dog because these dogs will not have problematic genetics. Dogs bred with these colors are less likely to suffer from health issues, such as blindness, deafness, and skin issues. For this reason, it is important to only buy French Bulldogs from reputable breeders who follow the breed standard. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the suitability of a white French bulldog as a pet will depend on a variety of individual factors. However white French bulldogs can make great pets for the right person or family. They are typically friendly, playful, and loving animals that enjoy spending time with their human companions. They are also relatively low-maintenance pets, requiring relatively minimal exercise and grooming. There are many factors to consider when assessing whether a white French bulldog would make a good pet for your home. Conclusion In conclusion, the white French Bulldog is a unique and beautiful dog that deserves to be loved and appreciated. They are playful, loving, and make great pets. If you are considering adding a French Bulldog to your family, consider giving a white French Bulldog a chance. They may just be the perfect dog for you. However, if you are interested in owning a white French Bulldog, be sure to do your research and find a reputable breeder. Not all white French Bulldogs have been created in safe, responsible ways, and not all white French Bulldogs will be recognized by the AKC, so do your homework before buying your forever pup! See also:. Are white French Bulldogs all unhealthy? The Genetics The genes that carry color instructions have specific locations loci on the canine chromosomes. Different dog breeds have different color genes. Which is why some colors only happen in some dog breeds. There are just two basic pigments in the canine genome. The first pigment is eumelanin. It is black, but can be diluted or modified when other genes act on it. The second pigment is phaeomelanin. Which expresses in a range of reds from very light cream all the way to deep red. As you might imagine, color genetics can get quite a bit more complicated from here. White vs Albino French Bulldogs There are a number of genetic factors that can contribute to the appearance of a white coat in a French Bulldog. The C series of genes, sometimes called the albino locus, can restrict pigment expression to certain areas. It can also lighten existing pigment. This can result in an all-white French Bulldog with the characteristic pinkish skin, nose and eyes. However, to date, canine researchers have only located the gene responsible for albinism in the Doberman dog breed. No albino gene has yet been found in French Bulldogs A pure true albino French Bulldog would lack pigment in all areas where pigment is normally present. The eyes would look pinkish, blue or amber, depending on how light passes through the iris. The skin would also appear pinkish because the blood vessels show through. A partial albino French Bulldog lacks pigment in only parts of the body. He may display a white single color or other color in the non-affected areas. Leucism looks a lot like albinism. But it is caused by different genes that prevent the pigment cells from doing their job properly. Partial leucism is actually the genetic mechanism behind common canine markings such as the popular piebald color pattern. Or a predominantly white coat with a small percentage of markings of other colors. If those markings are sufficiently light or dilute, this gives the appearance of an all-white, single color coat. Here are some examples from the official French Bulldog Breed Standard of white-coated Frenchies with coat color patterns present: White and brindle Cream ranges from light ivory-white to a more yellow cream Fawn ranges from a very light yellow to a more reddish gold White and fawn Fawn, brindle and white Double Merle Genes There is one more way that a white French Bulldog has a predominantly white coat. One way is for a French Bulldog to inherit the merle color pattern gene from one or both parents. A French Bulldog with one merle gene is called a single merle. This happens when only one parent contributes the merle gene. A double merle occurs when two French Bulldogs carrying the gene for the merle coat color pattern are bred together. This will produce a dog known as a double merle or false white, that can be predominantly white-coated. However, this type of breeding will never be done by reputable breeders. It can create very serious lifelong health issues for the puppies. These include organs and nervous system development, as well as vision and hearing. In fawn or cream coat colors, this can create the appearance of a pure white coat. Piebald Spotting with White Coat A coat that is at least 80 percent white but includes 20 percent other colors on the body is called a piebald spotting. This means each parent dog must contribute these genes in order for them to take effect. The spotting color areas of pigment ranges from breed standard-accepted colors ex. Spotting typically occurs on the face, along the back, rump or around the shoulders. For very light colors like fawn or cream at the light end of each spectrum, the coat may appear to be a single solid or self color. In the extreme white fawn or cream, the visual appearance is often of a single self or solid white coat. These Frenchies may lack pigment in the eyes, nose and mouth. White French Bulldog Health Canine researchers discovered the white coat color is associated with certain health issues. This is typically true across dog breeds because the responsible genes are linked to pigment rather than breed. Deafness Dogs that have all-white or predominantly white coats can inherit hearing loss or deafness in one or both ears. This is called pigment-associated hereditary deafness. It could be cause by a lack of pigment in the inner ear canal. This can occur with the following dogs: White albino dogs White solid self dogs Dogs with the piebald or merle gene that are predominantly white-coated One limited study predicted that white French bulldog puppies have a 25 percent chance of bilateral deafness hearing impaired in both ears. They also have a .Skin Sensitivity Just as light-skinned people tend to be more apt to get sunburned, the same holds true for very light-skinned dogs. With increased incidences of sunburn comes a higher risk for eventual skin cancer. Including skin lesions and tumors. Eye Defects and Blindness Eye defects and disorders can occur with some white French Bulldog coat types. This includes: the possibility for missing eyes smaller-than-normal eyes malformed eyes non-functioning eyes. These defects can occur individually or together in one or both eyes. The merle and double merle gene expressions present the most risk for eye health issues. Developmental Issues The merle and double merle gene expressions can influence the development of major organs and the nervous system. In some cases, French Bulldog puppies are born with severely life-limiting health issues that they do not survive. French Bulldogs shed somewhat all year long but most noticeably during the changing of the seasons. When brushing and grooming your white French Bulldog, know that sometimes white-coated dogs have more sensitive skin. Choose a brush with rounded tips and gentle bristles. They have hardly any markings and if they do they are rarely visible, located around the rump area or on the head. This is an extreme piebald French Bulldog. Notice how there is a small amount of black markings on the head. What Does Piebald Coloring Mean? Are Pied French Bulldogs Rare? Pied French Bulldogs are relatively rare. Pied Frenchies can be AKC registered if the coat is white with brindle, cream, fawn or black patches which suggests that it is an acceptable coat to breed which makes it less rare. No, not all white French Bulldogs are albino. In fact majority of white French Bulldogs are not albino, they just have a white colored coat. In contrast, albino French bulldogs have a complete lack of pigmentation in their skin, hair and eyes making their skin a pinkish shade and their eyes pink or pale blue. Often French Bulldogs with white coats with dark eyes and noses are thought to be albino but they are not. Albino Frenchies need to have pink noses and pink skin around their eyes. An Albino French Bulldog has a fully white coat due to a lack of pigmentation as there is reduced production of melanin in the hair, skin and eyes. It is a result of a genetic mutation called tyrosinase full albino or tyrosinase-positive partial albino. An albino French Bulldog will have eyes that appear pink due to the lack of pigmentation that results in a pink hue around their eyes and noses. A dog that has a pink hue around its nose but not their eyes may not be albino. Albinism is the least common cause of a white coat for French Bulldogs. Leucistic French Bulldogs Leucism is a skin condition in dogs such as Frenchies that causes white or pale skin and hair. There are defects in pigment cell differentiation or migration from the neural crest to skin or hair during development which results in having a lack of cells that can produce pigment. In contrast to albinism, leucism does not affect the eyes. Most French Bulldogs who have leucism will not have pinkish hue eyes like albinos. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a French Bulldog with leucism and one with albinism so genetic testing can be performed to be certain about it. A cream French Bulldog is relatively rare as it is a recessive dilute from the fawn color coat. Generally this type of French Bulldog has an off-white coat. It is hardly ever pure white. Double merle French Bulldogs have created a lot of controversy in the dog world with many official bodies refusing to register dogs that are a product of merle-to-merle breeding. This is because they are a result of bad breeding practices and are affected by ocular defeats and deafness.

It is a designer dog with an unknown origin, but if it is like most other designer dog breeds, then it was likely bred in the s or very early in the s. Unlike the German Shepherd Corgi mix , the current idea is that it was created with the goal of achieving a breed with a stronger sense of smell. This is common knowledge as that is the only way to achieve a designer dog breed status with a mixed breed dog. To understand the breed a little better, it is probably best to take a look at their parent breeds. This way, you can get more of an idea of the history of why this designer dog was created in the first place and how your Beagleman will behave as it grows older. Everyone knows that the German Shepherd is famous for being a police dog because of its discipline and immense intelligence. It is a much-studied breed and has proved to be an amazing companion. However, their protective nature requires early and patient training. They are also really playful and extremely athletic, a favorite amongst active owners. It might be a good idea to brush up on some German Shepherd facts to understand them even further. The Beagle is known to be a lovely companion but is also a hunting dog breed. As with the other parent breed, Beagles are used within law enforcement because of their sensitive noses and sense of smell, making them one of the breeds of choice as sniffer dogs. They are extremely friendly and are also hard workers who make amazing companions. Funny enough, Beagles are actually considered not to be that intelligent as they tend to follow their nose and ignore everything else. Read more about the best-behaved dog breeds and smells dogs hate. The German Shepherd Beagle Mix Are Pretty Popular Dogs The two different parent breeds are immensely popular in their own right, but the combination of the two breeds has resulted in a dog that has grown in popularity. They are actually being adopted just like their parents as dogs for law enforcement because it inherits a lot of the similar traits of their parents but with a heightened sense of smell. What makes them popular as well is their exclusivity. There are very few breeders for a Beagle Shepherd, making them very rare and harder to get than one of their parents. The Beagleman has inherited a lot of its athleticism and energy from its parents, making them a popular choice of dog for families with kids. It is important to remember that you should always choose a pup that suits your lifestyle. Although they are popular dogs, it would be a little unfair to get a Beagleman if you are unable to fulfill the needs of the dog. So, ensure that this dog is for you before taking the step and picking a puppy. They are hyper-intelligent dogs that can also learn more intricate and elaborate tasks relatively easily. Their razor-sharp wit is a lovable trait, but the Beagle gene could come out and make them come across as pretty sassy. There are quite a few instances where they will just get a bit of an attitude. They feel that they already know what you are asking them to do, so they tend to not listen properly. Maintaining their attention is important then so that they fully understand your commands. It could rival an elephant, so how you train them is important as they will not forget for a long time. Punishment of any sort should be avoided when training these pups. With that long memory, there are instances where these dogs have held grudges against their owners for long periods of time. Rewards and constant repetition are the best ways to train one of these little dogs. As puppies, it is important for them to know what they can and cannot chew. They are chewers, so make sure that you draw that line at a young age when they start chewing their feet , and everything else, or your furniture and shoes will be at risk. This breed is also known to be yappers and barkers, so it is important to try and teach them when it is appropriate to bark and how much they should engage in various scenarios. Introduction to other pets is also important while they are young. It is in their nature to hunt so knowing that your other pets are friends is important. Early socialization with other pets and strangers is good to help prevent any future issues when meeting new people. Even though they are relatively easy to train, some professional training would be very beneficial to help control your puppy in certain situations. The Appearance of the Shepherd Beagle Mix Is a Bit of a Lottery The thing with a hybrid cross-breed is that there is generally no set of exact standard characteristics that you can expect. The same is true for a Beagleman, and there is a set of general characteristics or features that your pup could have and grow into. You will only know for sure as the puppy grows up. There is only one common thing for every Beagle Shepherd: all of their eyes are brown. To get an idea of how big your pup will be when it grows up, you can take a look at the size of the parents, and you will get a rough estimate. Their coat is a combination of the German Shepherd and Beagle. It is typically pretty dense and will either be medium or short and be a straight hair texture. Their bi-color or single-color coat is a bit of a chance, as there are four different possibilities of red, silver, white, and black. There have been instances of tan and liver color coats, but those are rare. There is a chance that the puppy could adopt the double coat of their German Shepherd parent. Basically, it is a complete lottery in which color coat, whether it is a combination of one, two, or three colors, your pup will inherit. The Beagleman is considered a medium-sized dog, but they can weigh anywhere from 20 to 70 pounds depending on which parent they take after most and even which gender they are. And for a larger family dog, the Golden Retriever German Shepherd mix is the way to go. But be prepared for spring when your Beagleman will lose its winter coat and shed quite profusely. This is where a daily brushing routine will be best to reduce the amount of hair around the house. Their nails can grow long pretty quickly, so frequent nail trimming would be beneficial if you want to protect your furniture or any wooden floor. These dogs are prone to tartar buildup, so their teeth should be monitored. A good way to help combat this and keep their teeth healthy is frequent brushing. Once a week should help keep them all healthy and good. You can get away with bathing your dog every few weeks, but water can find its way into their ears, especially if they inherit floppy ears. So make sure to dry their ears properly and carefully. You will also need to clean their ears once a week with a specific solution to help prevent future infections. Read more about why puppies lick their feet and why dogs shake their heads. Because they are so smart, they are super easy to train, but they need a higher level of stimulation, or they get bored. This boredom then leads to a destructive outlet where they will act out. When it comes to toys, apart from a really good chew toy, more interactive dog toys are a good choice. This need for stimulation also moves into needing attention from their owners. It is a pretty common occurrence for Beaglemans to have separation anxiety , which is another reason why they act out. A good idea would be to have another small intelligent dog for them to play around with while you are busy. Their overall temperament is a pretty amazing combination of all the lovable and desirable traits of their parents. There is a strong chance that they will be super noisy, and another way they act out is to bark for more attention and entertainment. They are naturally very curious and like to adventure on their own and explore so very strong communication skills are also important to keep them mentally involved. Read more about why dogs sleep-bark and when puppies get easier. A balance needs to be struck where if you live in a smaller space, you will need to take them out on walks and runs more often. If you live in a home and have a large garden area, you can burn off some of their energy with 30 minutes of playtime. The larger space will let them stretch their legs more and love to be outdoors. While an apartment lifestyle could potentially work, it is not the ideal living space for them. The risk of them getting sick is relatively high. Keep them inside where they will be nice and warm with you. You can expect to wake up with them on your bed in the morning as they are pretty clingy with their owners and love to be around you. But who would complain about that? Just make sure that you have a small pet hair vacuum to help contain the spread of hair as they shed their winter coat in the spring. Read more about why your dog is sleeping on you and why puppies have loose stools. Being cross-bred means that the different genes from each breed help to fight and counter any genetic concerns of each other. The outcome is normally a hybrid that is much healthier than a purebred. There is a potential for this hybrid to inherit Intervertebral Disc Disease , mostly when they are older. This is a progressive degeneration of the spine that could be slowed with surgery but, unfortunately, cannot be stopped. Obesity is another common health concern that would be the result of overfeeding and lack of exercise, particularly with this breed, as they need a lot of exercise. Unfortunately, both of the parent breeds are prone to epilepsy, and that trait is still found in the Beagleman. This can be controlled to an extent with various medications that are available. Hip dysplasia is another concern that is common in most dogs of this size. A Beagle Shepherd does adopt a few health concerns from its German Shepherd parent gene pool as well. These come in the form of mainly intestine issues. These are the most common issues they inherit, particularly bloat and pancreatic issues. This is where a strict and specific diet comes into play for these dogs. Consider following a slower and more spread-out feeding schedule. Firstly, you should always serve your dog an appropriate portion size which is determined by their build and weight. Their diet should be made up of mostly protein and fat with a limitation on the amount of carbohydrates. Whole proteins such as chicken and beef are preferred. With their susceptibility to bloat, it is better to serve your pup four to five small meals instead of two large meals throughout the day. They burn a ton of calories with the high energy output they have, so replacing them is essential to maintain a healthy weight. Sugars should be avoided as this hybrid struggles to process sugars. However, as long as they do get the exercise that they need, a few treats here and there are fine to give your companion. They want to go-go-go almost all the time. This is something to remember when you get one of these pups. You are inheriting an exercise buddy who will be by your side on all your excursions. A long run will make them smile with joy as they love to run and hike. It is not recommended to take them off the leash in wide-open spaces as their tendency to follow their nose will kick in, and they will not listen to you. A strong leash is needed to take them on walks and keep them on track. A lack of exercise could lead to physical and even some behavioral problems. They are naturally working dogs and have a strong body composition that needs to be worked on daily. They do also have a lot of stamina, so it will take some time to get those energy levels drained a little. While Beaglemans are working dogs, if you have wide open spaces at home, consider getting a German Shepherd Australian Shepherd mix or a Border Collie German Shepherd mix. They would be best suited for a larger family as they are incredibly social and will soak up as much attention as they can. Even though they are a medium-sized breed, they are pretty good with children. Although it is best to introduce them to your smaller children while they are young to understand boundaries. These dogs are immensely protective of their family and will always be willing and waiting to play with everyone. Their social nature means that they will jump from one family member to another and, with their genetic traits, will be extremely alert to any potential dangers at night. They are companions, though, and do need to be around their owners almost constantly. Although they make fantastic family dogs, they are not really best suited to the elderly due to their exercise needs. Beagle Shepherds are also not ideally suited to anyone who lives alone and is a working professional. They will bark a lot to attract your attention, not ideal if you work from home and are in meetings during the day a lot. Extended periods of alone time will cause them to act out since they need to be around you most of the time. However, these dogs will need intense training and socialization. Pros of Owning a Beagle Shepherd Mix Puppy Because of their intelligence, you can teach them a wide range of different tricks. There is even an option to get some extensive coaching that will allow them to perform much higher level acrobatic and exotic tricks. If you already live an active lifestyle, then this dog will be your absolute best friend. If you live a somewhat active lifestyle, then your Beagleman will encourage you to be more active with the immense amounts of energy that they have and need to burn off. So enjoy and embrace that this dog will almost force you to venture into the outdoors and go on adventures with them.

They are mouthy and will be sure to bark and let you know if they feel uneasy or somewhat stressed. You will have hours of entertainment with one of these pups by your side. They are loyal and incredibly loving, so if you need an emotional support animal or therapy dog, then a little Beagleman is a top choice. They will almost never leave you alone. They will need constant attention, and if you cannot provide that, they will howl almost endlessly. So if you live in a shared space or in close proximity to others, this could be an issue with neighbors getting upset. Due to their diet needs and potential health risks, they can be pretty expensive to own. The main thing is that they require a significant amount of time. You will need to set aside a fair amount of time each day to give them the attention that they need and exercise them. Are Beagle German Shepherd mixes suitable for families with children?

If you love playing with your pet, the Beagleman is for you! This dog absolutely loves playing and exercising, just like the parent breeds. However, a regular walking activity might not be enough with this hybrid. You have to let it loose and let it run — having outdoor activities is a must for this breed No need for a security system. The Beagle is a known hunting dog that belongs to a family of hound breeds. This explains the howling! You can expect your Beagleman to howl loudly, especially when it is stressed. If there is an intruder, you will most definitely know right away. You will have an intelligent pet and friend. The Beagleman is no different. You can enroll your pet-child in a training school for dogs to learn tricks, or you can train it yourself. You might be surprised at how intelligent this designer dog is. You cannot live with them in a shared apartment or room. The Beagle Shepherd is very active, and they love playing around. If you are sharing a space with people who want peace and quiet, they might not approve of having a Beagle Shepherd living with them. They can get noisy. Beagle Shepherds sometimes howl as if they are hunting. This is a hereditary trait from Beagles who love to hunt and howl. If you are living with other people, this howling might wake them up and cause disturbances You need to have time and energy for them. This breed also loves playing and going outdoors, so you have to put aside time to bring it outside. If their energy is not released, it can blow in a destructive way that can lead to damaging furniture or howling for no reason. It is a cross between the Beagle and the German Shepherd. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. He was a puppy in this pic. When he was 9 and a half months old he weighed fifty pounds and at that age standing up his paws were at my chest, but I'm only 5'1 so that's not saying much. He's great with kids and other dogs , though a male dog is harder for him than a female. I can't find much information on this hybrid, but he is an amazing dog. He is sweet, protective and very goofy! He is easy to train , but he won't do much without treats yet. He is very active, but he'll play till he's completely worn out, then he can sleep forever. He doesn't howl but every once in a blue moon, and seems to take after the German Shepherd more, though he's got the telltale floppy ears. I wish I knew how big he will get, I figure no more than sixty pounds though! She runs around a lot in the backyard like she is still a puppy. She likes to chew on stuff even with her chew toys. She is good at annual checkups. She smiles with her teeth sometimes. It looks mean but she isn't. She doesn't like cats. She doesn't like to be left alone for long periods at a time, which is like 2 hours.

I have been breeding and raising doodle puppies in Alaska for quite awhile now and there are so many backyard breeders in Alaska who are breeding their dogs without any health testing and only doing it for profit. They have no puppy culture in raising these pups, and are potentially passing around risky genetic diseases to their offspring that will cause you nothing but heartache and huge vet bills in the future. Ask questions, trust your gut, and know that if your raising quality puppies that they won't be cheap. If your looking to purchase a lower priced doodle, ask us about our flexible payment plans.

We live in Anchorage, Alaska and have 4 young and adventurous children. Our doodle journey started in when we bought our first home and decided it was time to welcome a fur-baby into the family. My husband wanted an active, well tempered dog that he can take with him to the station, and I wanted a medium size family dog that was hypoallergenic to cuddle with. After much research we came across the Goldendoodle and Bernedoodle breed and fell in love. We decided we wanted other families to experience the same love we have for this breed. We believe in raising happy healthy puppies and my kids love to help raise and care for each litter. The best part of it all is we get to meet new families who love our doodles just as much as we do. We raise our pups in our homes with our children, and we also allow our guardian families to help whelp and raise our pups also. We believe in raising our pups in a loving, loud and busy Alaskan household. This type of environment raises happy and healthy pups who are confident and trainable for you and your family. Welcome to the Dela Doodle Family. The exact date this new breed was invented is unknown. Still, it seems likely that several people have been breeding them since the late s when they first emerged in an attempt to create a hybrid breed similar to the Labradoodle. Like its fellow Doodle breed, the Goldendoodle was designed for allergies due to their low shedding coats. A hypoallergenic coat combined with an endearing and friendly temperament is why the Goldendoodle has become one of the most popular hybrid dogs in the country. The Goldendoodle is a unique breed of dog with a remarkable history. Currently, there is a new generation of non-shedding Goldendoodles. The creation of deeper generations has shown remarkable progress in achieving better results with this coat type. Goldendoodles are highly social, outgoing dogs that thrive on human companionship. They have a great desire to please and learn from their owners. This trait makes them perfect candidates for service and therapy work or search-and-rescue operations where they can use those skills to help others in need. The Top 5 Disadvantages of the Goldendoodle Goldendoodles need a lot of daily exercises, so they might not be the right dog for a sedentary lifestyle. They should be walked outside and allowed to play for about an hour each day, or else they can become destructive because they are bored. In that case, it may engage in behaviors such as chewing, constant barking, and digging. People who work long hours are probably not the best candidates for Goldendoodle ownership. Although Goldendoodles are hypoallergenic, caring for those non-shedding coats can be expensive. They will need daily brushing to keep their coats healthy and clean. The Goldendoodle loves his family and always wants to be involved in family activities. However, that makes this breed prone to separation anxiety. Goldendoodles are incredibly loyal dogs who depend on their owners for emotional support, just like humans. However, this can have its drawbacks because if you spend a lot of time away from home or work long hours, the Goldendoodle may not be suitable for you. Your pup can develop separation anxiety and other behavioral problems when left alone all day without human contact. Preferable Pups always recommend using a breeder who thoroughly tests all pups for hereditary illnesses before adoption. Here is some information on the best Goldendoodle Foods. The color lightens over time. This color mimics the golden tones of the Golden Retriever. Goldendoodles come in a variety of colors and also a wide array of patterns. The most popular are brindle, merle, parti, tuxedo, abstract, phantom, and sable. By working with reputable breeders, you can find the Goldendoodle puppy with the coloring and coat pattern you are looking for. Size The Goldendoodle comes in three sizes, depending on whether it has a Miniature, Medium, or Standard Poodle in its genetics. Miniature Goldendoodles can weigh up to 20 pounds; Medium Goldendoodles can weigh up to 45 pounds; large Goldendoodles typically range between 50 — 75 pounds.

Most German Shepherds find that sensitive dog food is best for their delicate digestion. Remember, portion control is key. Establish a regular feeding schedule, keep treats for training rewards not their main meal , give lots of fresh water, and always adjust the amount you feed your pup so they maintain a healthy weight. A comfortable space to unwind. Choose a German Shepherd-sized dog bed that suits their size and sleeping style. Some dogs love to sprawl, while others prefer to curl up. Crates are also essential, not just for training but for their safety too. A crate is a perfect place where your pup can lay their head when they need time away from the stress of life. All of these cozy spaces are great for when you want your pup to have time to relax and unwind. An exercise program to satisfy their high energy needs. Daily exercise is their secret sauce for a happy and well-behaved pup. Aim for at least 90 to minutes of daily activity, but remember, it varies from puppy to adult. Every German Shepherd, from puppy to senior, needs a good walk. So, gear up, grab that leash, and head out for some quality exercise time with your furry athlete for double the fun source. An enjoyable social life. Socialization is essential for a happy doggie life! Regularly schedule playdates or trips to visit other dogs they like to let them meet and enjoy their pals. It helps your four-legged buddy become a better-behaved, well-rounded pup. Think of it as a confidence booster. It helps them feel less anxious, more adaptable, and ready to conquer the world, one playdate at a time. When it comes to dog interactions, safety is the name of the game. Always supervise and pick up on cues. A wagging tail can mean excitement or nervousness. Keep things positive and fun to avoid any puppy drama. It takes time and the right training for a less social German Shepherd to make friends with other dogs. Socialization is part of what German Shepherds need to enjoy their doggie lives. Even if they have you as their human best friend, they still enjoy their own kind, too. A fun range of brain-stimulating activities. You see, German Shepherds are more than just muscles and fur. Now, onto the fun stuff! These are like brain teasers for your pup. Puzzle toys, with hidden treats or kibble, keep them thinking and problem-solving. Even better? There are entire training programs that help you brain-train your dog at home! A training plan to help them thrive. Training your German Shepherd for good house manners is not just about avoiding chewed-up shoes or gnawed furniture legs. German Shepherds thrive when they understand expectations. This makes them not just happier members of your household, but easier to get along with too. Start with the basics. German Shepherd puppies can get easily distracted, so simplicity is key. When training these spirited pups, set them up for success. Create a distraction-free environment, and use treats or toys as rewards to keep them motivated. Positive reinforcement goes a long way. Break down commands into smaller parts and reward them for each step in the right direction. This approach helps them grasp concepts quickly and builds their confidence. So, when it comes to training for house manners, remember the magic trio: simplicity, patience, and baby steps! A grooming routine to maintain their skin and fur. A well-groomed German Shepherd struts around with confidence, and a clean, shiny coat is just the tip of the iceberg. Regular brushing not only keeps their fur untangled and mat-free but also stimulates blood circulation and spreads those natural oils for a luscious coat. This grooming inspection can prevent little problems from becoming big ones when you catch them early. But a good scrub keeps those pesky parasites away and gets rid of any funky odors. But not any shampoo will do! There are always tasty dog chews that can help on top of brushing. And ear wipes can make cleaning their ears easier and help you spot ear infections before they run out of control. Grooming keeps your pup comfy, stylish, and in tip-top shape. A health plan for preventive and regular care. Now, German Shepherds often come with their own set of health concerns, like joint issues, sensitive stomachs, and even skin problems. Catching problems early can save you and your furball a ton of trouble down the road. Stay on top of their appointments and routine exams. A loving owner who gives lots of attention and cuddles. Despite their sometimes stoic exteriors, many German Shepherds crave your love and attention. Set some time aside every day to pet your German Shepherd, talk to them softly, and just tell them how awesome they are. Your German Shepherd relies on you for their needs, and when you provide them with the right care, it can make a world of difference in their comfort and happiness. Nutrition: Feed them a well-balanced diet suitable for their age, size, and activity level. Comfortable Space: Create a cozy environment with a comfy bed and a secure, clean living area. Exercise: Keep them active with regular walks and playtime to channel their energy. Socialization: Help them become confident and sociable by exposing them to various people, animals, and places. Mental Stimulation: Challenge their sharp minds with puzzles, brain games, and interactive toys. Training: Teach them basic commands, maintain simplicity, and use positive reinforcement. Grooming: Regular brushing, bathing, dental cleaning, and ear care ensure their comfort and well-being. Healthcare: Schedule regular vet visits to keep them in top shape and address any concerns promptly. Love: Always shower them with affection, quality time, cuddles, and play! Due to their high energy and intelligence, they take lots of time and attention. They are also high maintenance in the grooming and exercise departments. Despite all the time they require, they are worth every minute. Their love and loyalty is unmatched and there is no greater companion than a faithful German shepherd dog by your side. Whether you own one or are planning to get one in the future, there are 17 items that you must have if you own a German shepherd. They are: 1. Good Quality Crate There are many good reasons to teach a dog to use a crate and very few excuses not to. Just a few reasons why crate training is a good idea include, they may be crated at the vet so being familiar with one will help them be calm; they may at some point in their life need to travel in a crate; during an emergency, they may need to be crated for their own safety; a crate is the perfect place to keep your dog when home repair is being done and other strangers are going in and out of the house; when recovering after illness or injury; it is a great training tool, a safe place for an unsupervised puppy. Strong Leash and Collar German shepherds are incredibly strong and very determined. The last thing you need is a collar or leash that will break at the wrong moment. Even better, owning several leashes and collar styles can come in handy. Some tools that can help are educational books, videos, clickers , tugs , treat bag , high value treats , crate, leash , and slip collar. Since German shepherds are so intelligent, there are many things you can teach them so these tools are just the tip of the iceberg. Your plans will depend upon the tools you need so these are just the basics that everyone can use. Chews and toys German shepherds have powerful jaws and they love to chew, especially puppies. There are some companies that make durable rubber dog chews such as Ruff Dawg and Westpaw that are great for German shepherds. Some of these can hold treats to help keep their interest. German shepherds also need lots of exercise and love to play. You can do both at once by playing games of fetch, Frisbee , tug , and more. Nothing will make your German shepherd happier than spending time playing with you and their favorite toy. Good Brush German shepherds shed and shed a lot. To reduce the amount of pet hair in your home, a good deshedding brush is great and a slicker brush will also help remove loose fur. Shampoo and conditioner Despite their shedding, German shepherds are relatively clean dogs unless they get into something that makes them dirty. However, they will need to be bathed so a good Ph balanced moisturizing shampoo and conditioner will help keep them clean and remove dead fur. Since they are also known for their sensitive skin and some have allergies, there are special shampoos that can he kept on hand to reduce itching, seasonal dry skin, or to heal skin irritations. Fenced Yard German shepherds need lots of exercise and a place to safely run and burn off some of their energy. They also have a high prey drive and many love to chase small animals and such so a fenced yard will also help keep them safe should they encounter wildlife or see neighborhood animals. Healthy Food Notorious for their sensitive digestive systems, German shepherds do best on a high-quality diet formulated for large breed dogs and puppies. Storage container for food To help keep food fresh and preserve nutrients, an airtight storage container is perfect. They make them large enough to store an entire bag of food, which is a huge plus. But they are also yummy and fun and like all dogs, shepherds love them. Food and water dishes Depending on the dog, the best food and water dishes are either stainless steel or ceramic. If your dog likes to dig in their water, a heavy bottomed bowl can help reduce spills. If your dog eats too fasts and gulps their food, a slow feeder can help slow them down and make mealtimes more enjoyable. Some bottles have a built-in dish that the water squeezes into so they are super convenient. Our favorite is a bowl with a leak-proof lid for the car that also helps keep the water cool. Dog poop bags Another must for going out with your dog is a supply of dog poop bags. There are containers you can attach to their leash or you can just keep a supply in the car and put one in your pocket. Either way, to avoid embarrassment, they are a great to have on hand. Dog bed Since German shepherds are over 50 pounds when grown, they are considered large dogs. They love a good dog bed that is comfy but also supports their back and joints. Even if they sleep in your bed, their own dog bed is a great idea. Nail clippers Since German shepherds are so active, their nails should be kept trimmed unless they wear them down themselves. Even if you have someone else trim their nails, a good quality nail clipper is good to have on hand in case you need to trim or cut a nail. If you prefer, a nail grinder tool can be used. This is not a complete list but things to consider putting in your kit include the phone number for animal poison control, blood stop powder , bandages, ace bandage, Gas X and Benedryl, Zymox Otic Ear Treatment, etc. Tags and microchip One of the most important things you can do for your dog is to keep their Identification tags and microchip information up-to-date. With no way to reunite them with their family, they are lucky if they are rescued but many dogs are euthanized simply due to overcrowding or they are injured before arriving at the shelter. To protect your dog from becoming a statistic, always keep their ID on them and your contact information current. No one thinks their dog will be the one to get lost but, sadly, it happens all the time. We hope you find this list helpful. As always, please feel free to share with your friends. Feeding and grooming 1. Traditional leather collars with an engraved tag are a popular choice. They can be personalised with up to 25 characters of information which will help someone return your pup to you. But here at Happy Puppy HQ, we love them! If your puppy reaches the end of their leash quite suddenly, a harness distributes the impact over a large area of predominantly muscle, rather than concentrating it on a small area of delicate throat tissues. And they make it easier to safely control your puppy during training. Travel Restraint Most people want to be able to travel with their dog. But there are some things to buy German Shepherd puppies that will make this easier. Puppies who travel unrestrained in vehicles can be somewhat mischievous however! It can be all too tempting to try and climb into your lap or your footwell, for a bit of attention. Furthermore, unrestrained dogs are more likely to sustain serious injuries in a collision. However, if your GSD puppy is a destructive chewer, this kind of crate might not last long. Another Alternative A great alternative is anchoring their harness securely to the seat belt plug. This will keep your puppy in place, and distribute the impact of a crash as safely as possibly over his body. So one of the things to buy a German Shepherd puppy is a leash. Young puppies are very receptive to new experiences, so teaching them to accept wearing a leash is easiest while they are still young. Most GSD puppy parents find that they need two types of leash. The Two Types First, a short lead for keeping their dog under close control near traffic and whilst walking on the sidewalk. Crate People tend to have mixed feelings about dog crates. But used responsibly, they have heaps of advantages. They can become a cosy den for your puppy, which he will learn to associate with being safe and relaxed in. They can make toilet training quicker and easier. And they prepare your dog for being unavoidable crating in the future, for example if they ever need to stay at the vet, or travel by air. Our crate training article is all about how to choose the best crate, and use it correctly. And this article is all about choosing the right size for a German Shepherd. So add some bedding to your list of things to buy a German Shepherd puppy! If you decide to move onto something more supportive as they grow up, our review of the best beds for German Shepherds will help you find the perfect next step. Many of them are available in standard crate sizes too — perfect for making the bottom of a crate as luxurious as can be! Puppies are curious, playful, and at times even total trouble-magnets! Creating a safe place in your home where you can leave them for a few moments to visit the bathroom or answer the door protects them from harm and gives you peace of mind. Your puppy zone should ideally have wipe clean floors in case of toilet accidents, and you should invest a little time teaching them to associate it with good things — by leaving treats in it for them to find, and returning their favorite toys there when they leave them lying around. Toys Like all puppies, German Shepherd pups have stacks of energy. So, toys should be a priority on your list of things to buy a German Shepherd puppy. They love to play, and playing plays a valuable role in developing their muscles, motor skills and coordination. In fact, GSDs have pretty tough teeth and jaws, even from a young age. So we recommend choosing toys designed with durability in mind. Food and Water Bowls All puppies need access to clean, fresh water. And whilst we recommend using most of their daily food allowance as rewards during training, you might also like to give them small meals in a bowl. In fact it is estimated that bloat causes the death of approximately 1 in 7 GSDs. Food Your puppy should come home with a modest supply of the food they were weaned onto by their breeder. This will minimize the possibility of them etting an upset tummy. Our article on the best diets for German Shepherd Dogs will give you some food for thought. Are they just the start of a slippery slope towards canine obesity? Well, we think treats have an important role to play in successful German Shepherd training! But the best way to capture a new behavior, or advance an established area of training to the next level, is by offering a high value food reward at first. Pieces of cooked chicken or small cubes of cheese are equally effective. Some we Like You may need to experiment with a few brands to find out which your GSD will work the hardest for. These basics belong in every dog owners kit: A brush, for removing loose hair, debris, matts and tangles — German Shepherds need their coats brushing at least two or three times a week. Shampoo, for when they roll in in something stinky. Toothbrush and Toothpaste These could be considered part of general grooming supplies. Medical procedures such as setting broken bones and corrective surgery for bloat cost several thousand dollars. Most insurance plans have the added bonus of including public liability cover. However, we selected them for inclusion independently, and all of the views expressed in this article are our own. Puppies bring a lot of joy to the family, but they also need a lot of attention. You must be prepared with all the supplies your puppy needs before he arrives home. Some of these supplies are basic while others will depend on your lifestyle. Some of the essentials that a German shepherd puppy needs include; leash, food, beddings, toys, insurance, collar, microchip, id tag, food, crates, treats, poop bags, grooming tools, among others. It helps to locate you if your puppy goes missing. Collar Find a sturdy collar for your puppy. It should be adjustable to accommodate growth. Do not tighten the collar so much; there should be a space where two fingers can fit in well but no more than that. Leash A recommendable leash for a puppy should be stretchable to about 6 to 10 feet in length. Always buy a leash made of dog-friendly materials. Crate When your new puppy gets home, he does not know what is expected of him. He will poo or pee anywhere that he wants, and this means a lot of cleaning work for you. A puppy dog crate will spare you all that stress; let me stay in the crate and let him out only when he needs potty breaks. Never force him to enter a crate. Buy a big crate which will still be useful as he gets old. If you like traveling a lot, buy a crate that can easily be folded for easy transport. Bedding A crate without a bed is very uncomfortable. Buy washable and comfy bedding materials that will fit in the crate. Bedding that does not allow leakage has an added advantage as your puppy will pee on it once in a while. Check out these dog beds that you can buy for your German Shepherd. Puppy Food On many occasions, the breeder or rescue center will give you the leftovers or tell you the puppy food brand that the puppy was feeding on. It is important to continue feeding the same food for some time before introducing a new diet. Consult your vet for advice. Treats Healthy puppy treats are important when potty training your puppy, convincing him to enter the crate or when training basic commandments. Refer to your vet for advice on the ideal treats for your puppy depending on his health. Food and Water Bowls Buy food and water bowls that are easy to clean and heavy to prevent being dragged everywhere by your dog. Make sure that you clean them daily to avoid your puppy feeding and drinking contaminated food and water. Always have them in pairs in case you want to travel. Poop Bag Poop bags are needed when you go out with your puppy either in the park, swimming, hiking, or long walks. Microchip A microchipped puppy will be easily traced whenever he goes missing. It takes less time to reunite the owner and the puppy compared to the Id tag method. Buy the one with clear sides to see the remaining food. You should also buy Food scoops to help you to measure the right amount of food to feed your puppy to avoid overfeeding. A Dog House An outdoor dog house should be well sheltered to offer protection for your puppy. It should be big enough to allow him to stand and stretch comfortably. You should not keep your valuable carpet inside as he will shred it as he plays. Do not keep your puppy in the dog house in the first days of arrival, keep him inside a crate, and keep it near your bedroom. This will make him feel your presence hence reducing the night cries. Toys Buy all types of toys for your puppy like; tug toys, teething toys , toy balls, puzzle toys, and plush toys. They will help in entertaining, distracting, and mental stimulation for your puppy. Grooming tools To ensure that your puppy is neat and attractive, buy nail cutters, shampoo, canine toothbrush and toothpaste, towels, dog wipe, dog mouth wash, and combs. Reliable Vet Have contact details for a reliable vet for emergency cases and normal checkups. A Groomer and Trainer A groomer is necessary to assist you in keeping your puppy looking nice. A professional trainer will assist in training and giving remedies for some bad puppy behaviors. If you need to travel or go to work, a pet sitter and boarding facility will take care of your puppy in your absence. Always keep their contact details. Insurance Pet insurance reduces the cost of medical bills in case your puppy gets ill. Carol is a paw parent, and her love for dogs started when she was just 5.
