full american bulldog puppies
Post by Glitterbug » Mon May 03, pm Hi, We bought Piet home at 12 weeks and I was going to go for the medium crate by Petbrand these are the ones my breeders uses and sells but she recommended a large one. He is a standard F1b but will be big as both parents are big and he has huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge paws!!! He's now 18 weeks and getting bigger by the week. He is growing fast so I am glad we went for the bigger size. We use the vetbed wooly matt folded in half as he likes to move from the soft side to the metal floor of the crate as he gets warm - bless He was also used to this as again our breeder uses this. It's excellent as the moisture does not sit on the top and I chuck it in the washing machine and a quick whizz in the dryer and as good as new. On the first night we took him home I put a training pad in there just in cas and he did have to go. I took it out from then onwards and apart from once in 6 weeks is dry all night and during the day when he has his sleeps. I did start using the water bowl but he used it as a toy The crate is by out 2 sofas and again a wall so closed in at 3 sides so makes it a good den for him and he knew we were near when we were getting him used to it. We have a medium one for the boot of the car with a nonslip matt uinderneath and cut strips to put under the towels to stop him sliding on corners I have read that some doodles will go in the crates of their own accord for a snooze. Not our boy.Piet does now sleep on the floor during the day as well but will get up as soon as my rear leaves the sofa uh oh I sound like I am always sitting down!! Good luck and hope some of this has helped. Look forward to seeing the pics of the new arrival. Having troubles? See our alphabetized list of dog breeds here.

Buying the right dog crate sizes for your pets involves a number of important considerations. Pet crates are made of a plastic, aluminum, or collapsible metal material which is just big enough for your dog to stand and turn around in. When you have a dog, you will probably be faced with a challenge when it comes to deciding whether or not to crate your dog. You may feel that it is unfair to crate your dog and deny it its freedom to be out and about. However, both professional trainers and veterinary doctors can attest to the fact that crating your dog has a positive impact on its well-being. So crates as dog training tools are highly recommended by professionals. A crate allows your dog to satisfy its natural instinct to be in a den and this prevents it from experiencing problems that un-crated dogs feel.

House Training A crate is a good way to initiate house training by teaching the dog some form of routine. It greatly helps puppy potty training crate efforts and once your dog is properly trained, you can go to bed knowing that your dog can keep itself out of danger at night and when alone in the house. Appropriate crate sizing allows your dog to move around a little without giving them too much space where they can relieve themselves which enhances cleanliness. Confinement At times, your dog may be feeling anxious or over-excited and may be getting in your way. You can put your dog in the crate at such times to help it calm down from all the excitement around it. This is especially useful during mealtimes or when there is a lot of activity in the house that may be disturbing your dog. After the excitement has cooled down, you can let him out to play. Ensure that the size you use is not too small as this will make the dog uncomfortable. Traveling Traveling with pets can be daunting as they may not be ready to adapt to all the changes around them. With a travel kennel, your dog can relax in the crate as you travel and it will feel safe inside its crate because the crate is a familiar environment. Find the right dog carrier to match your traveling needs and don't forget to see whether yours requires a travel kit to make them IATA airline approved. For Your Dog Privacy Do you know that feeling you get where you want some time to yourself to think some things through or just rest? Well, dogs get that too and having a crate to retreat to helps them have some form of privacy and security which they can use to rest when they are having a hard time. It helps dogs have a place of solace to turn to when they are sick or stressed and this is important for the psychological well-being of the dog. The right crate will have been the size of a den, enhancing the privacy of your dog. A good crate cover can further support your pet's needs. This essential crate accessory also helps contain pet hair in and around the crate. Crate covers can be found here. Bowel Control If you choose the appropriate size of crate, your pet will not have extra space to use for relieving itself. Being in a crate will help your dog exercise control over its bowels as it will not wish to dirty its crate and it will thus wait until you let it out of the crate in order to empty its bowels. Associating the outdoors with emptying of bowels will make it very easy for your dog to control its urge to pass urine or defecate whilst in the crate. Involvement When there is a lot of activity going on around the house, people tend to put the dog in another room to avoid disturbance from the dog. This can make a dog feel lonely due to its social nature and can affect its psychology. A crate allows the dog to be with you in the room while activities are going on without feeling left out. A dog crate also enables the dog to tag along during trips due to the convenience it provides. In this way, your pet will not be left at home alone when you go out which will have a positive impact on its well-being. Given the highly social nature of dogs, it is important that they feel like they are part of your family and this can be done by ensuring that they spend a lot of time indoors as opposed to being left in the outdoors. By using a dog crate to confine your dog, you can have the dog stay inside even when nobody is around to supervise it as you can be assured of its safety and it will feel that it is part of the family. Leaving a dog in the outdoors makes it begin to exhibit some problem behaviors such as digging and barking which are caused by its isolation. Now that you have appreciated the importance of a dog crate, it is time to get down to business and choose the best one for your dog. Number If you travel a lot with your dog or if your dog needs a bigger crate due to its size, you can get more than one. You can leave one in your car for use during traveling and have another crate in the house which your dog can use when it is indoors. In this way, you will do away with the need to carry huge crates in and out of the house each time you want to travel with your dog. Purpose The reason behind getting a crate will influence the type of crate that you will buy. If you plan on using the crate mainly indoors, you can opt for a decorative one which does not have to be mobile. If you wish to use the crate as a means of travel for your dog, look for something portable. It is advisable that you seek the help of a professional trainer who will help you make the right decision when it comes to your dog. If you travel with your dog a lot, look for a crate which is easy to break down, light in weight and one that does not take up much space in the car. Soft crates are the best for use during travel and you should look for crates that will protect your dog in the case of a car crash. This is also useful in the case where you plan on taking a flight with your dog. Many soft-sided and plastic kennels are approved for use by airlines but you should check with the airline you wish to use to confirm the specifics of air approved crates for your dog's size. Doors Crates come in a single door, double door and triple door models. They each have their benefits and are suitable for particular needs. For example, a single door folding crate is an affordable option if you have a good spot for the crate that only requires a single entry. If your chosen area for the crate needs a side door configuration, the double door is an excellent choice. Finally, when training puppies or extra small dogs, it is often useful to have multiple door openings to tend to your puppy's every need. Chewing For dogs with a tendency to chew or anxious dogs, do not use a soft crate which they can chew through. Opt for a more durable, heavy duty product such as a plastic crate which can withstand the effects of chewing. However, there are dogs which can be really destructive and you should monitor your dog care within the first few weeks of crating in order to tell whether it can chew through the crate material or not. Having a distraction in the crate such as a toy or some dry dog food or treats can help reduce the amount of chewing. Choosing the right size reduces anxiety in dogs and makes them chew on the crate sides less. Storage Soft-sided and wire dog crates are very easy to set up and break down and are great choices if you do not plan to use the crate a lot. Plastic dog crates are harder to set up and break down and can be used if you have adequate room for storage. The temperature in the area where you live will have an effect on your choice of a crate. For hot places, go for a wire crate as this will allow air circulation, keeping your dog cool. To protect your dog from the sun, you can place a towel on top of the crate and you can have a fan installed in the crate for added cooling. If you live in a cold area, go for a plastic crate which prevents your dog from catching a cold. The size of your crate will also affect the ease of storage and you should take that into consideration. Duration If you plan on crating your dog for a small amount of time as you run a few errands, you can use a soft-sided crate. However, since these types of crates can easily be broken out of, you should opt for a wire crate or a plastic dog crate if you plan to leave the dog unattended for a long period of time. It takes a few minutes for a determined dog to break free from a soft-sided crate so should you choose to get one, be sure to monitor your dog. Types of Dog Crates Your choice of crate will be dependent on factors such as its purpose, the size of your pet, the nature of your dog, and the amount of time that your dog will spend in the crate. Soft-Sided Crates These types of crates are made of soft mesh material or a material with similar features to mesh. They come in different shapes and sizes and are a common option among dog owners as they are affordable, easy to carry due to their light weight and dogs adapt to them with ease.

They are also convenient to carry around because they are not heavy and storage is easy as they are easy to collapse. A huge plus with these crates is that most dogs love them. Cons They are made of soft material which is not durable and it is easy for dogs to chew on them.

One thing to keep in mind is that these dogs are immensely curious pooches with powerful noses, and this trait can lead them to wander off with a single-minded focus when on the trail of an interesting scent. This has caused them to have a reputation for being somewhat stubborn, but with good training, these dogs are typically obedient and eager to please their owners. The Bassetoodle is a rare and fairly new breed, and there is not much information about this unique dog. Dogs that are harder to train will require a bit more patience and practice.

This unique dog is bred from German Shepherds and carries many of the same characteristics, yet it also carries the recessive white furred coat gene. Read on below to find out more about this special breed of dog and whether they could be the right pup for you. This is because the White German Shepherd carries the recessive white furred gene, which is just the same as some humans carrying the recessive blonde haired gene. This color never really stuck, and therefore the White German Shepherd never became as popular as other colors of German Shepherds. They are very popular working dogs who are known for their work as police dogs, military dogs and herding dogs. They are also very popular family dogs because of their loyalty and protective nature. They were first discovered by Von Stephanitz who spotted the German Shepherd at a dog show and decided that this breed was the perfect standard for a working dog. Horand was the first breed standard for the German Shepherd breed and was bred alongside dogs with a similar appearance to give German Shepherd litters. They are thought to have first appeared in the United States in and were recognized by the AKC in .Appearance White German Shepherd puppies look like little balls of fluff and are extremely cute! By 1 year of age, they should be at their adult height. You should always buy from a reputable breeder because sometimes breeders try pass off German Shepherd mixes for pure white German Shepherds. The White German Shepherd can weigh anywhere between 50 to 85 pounds with a male weighing more than a female. They are classified as a large dog breed and stand tall at 22 to 26 inches at the shoulder. Again, females are normally shorter than the males. They are a very muscular and athletic breed, which is no surprise because they were bred for their working capabilities. They are very strong and wear a proud posture and have erect ears. Their feet are big too, even when they are puppies! Coat The White German Shepherd has two different types of coat — short coat and long coat. If your White German Shepherd has a long coat, it will typically be much longer than other German Shepherds in the breed. The fur is thick and straight and does require quite a bit of grooming, although we will go into more detail about that below. When they are a puppy, their coat is normally super fluffy. It does become more coarse as they get older, but their ears remain fluffy. Their coat is also a double-coat which helps add protection against harsh winds or rain. Color Of course, the coat color of the White German Shepherd is white! This is what makes them stand out and a unique breed. The white coat recessive gene only impacts the fur color and does not have any effect on their skin or eye pigment. This makes identifying a white German Shepherd very simple and also closely resembles their wolf ancestors. In every other aspect, they mirror the appearance of a standard tan German Shepherd with the same dark brown eyes. They are very protective and make excellent guard dogs or watchdogs. They are also extremely loyal and love to be around people, which makes them a great family dog as well as an excellent working dog. They may also bark at strangers, but this is just because they are trying to protect you! A White Shepherd is an active dog and needs to be mentally stimulated. As we mentioned above, they are originally a working dog and love to be outside running and playing. Lifespan The life expectancy of a White German Shepherd is relatively long. They can live between 12 to 14 years. Many of the problems they are more likely to develop are the same problems that other breeds of German Shepherd deal with. The most common health problem for the German Shepherd dog breed is elbow dysplasia and hip dysplasia. Dysplasia is a condition that is seen in many large dogs and is a disease of a malformation of the joints. The joints can become very painful and may worsen over time causing lameness. The best way to ensure your pup is less prone to any of these conditions is to buy from a reputable breeder and to ensure you get health clearances from both parents. You should also check your dog often for any signs of these issues and take them to the vet regularly for checkups. Daily Life Now you know all about the characteristics and traits of this unique German Shepherd breed, it is time to take a look at what daily life with them is like. We will look at what to feed this dog, how much exercise they need and what grooming of this big breed should be. It comes as no surprise that this is a high maintenance dog breed, but they are worth it! It is recommended that you feed them a diet specially formulated for large dog breeds and you should always check the back of the dog food packet to see how much food you should be feeding your doggie based on their weight. Experts recommend that a White German Shepherd should be eating around calories a day, which is around 3 cups of food. As a puppy, they should be fed three times a day which can then be decreased to two meals a day as an adult. However, if you have a busy lifestyle then this can just be one meal a day. Their food should be healthy and nutritious. It should cover all the nutrients that a dog of this size needs, including proteins, fats and carbohydrates. High-quality dry kibble is a great option, although some dog owners opt to feed their pup raw food. Exercise It is not a surprise that this breed of white dog is very active and has high exercise needs. As a working dog and a breed that is often used as a police dog, they need lots of mental and physical stimulation to keep them happy. You should ensure that you are exercising your German Shepherd for 60 to 90 minutes a day. This includes walks, playing and mental games. Your doggie will want a big back yard to run around in too, so they will not be getting the exercise they need if you live in a small apartment. Without adequate exercise, they can develop unwanted and destructive behaviors due to frustration and boredom. Family Compatibility A White Shepherd makes an excellent family dog. Because they are so loyal, they will want to protect you from anything harmful, which makes them an excellent guard dog. However, you will need to train them from a young age to understand that not everything is a threat, otherwise they may well bark for hours! We mentioned above how much exercise a German Shepherd needs. As a working dog, they need lots of physical and mental stimulation, so they are the perfect pet for those who are outside a lot. Because they are a large dog, they also need a good amount of space. This includes a back yard that they can run around in. Your German Shepherd will not thrive in a small apartment as they will feel like they are being cooped up and may begin to exhibit destructive behaviors. This breed does have a naturally high prey drive, so you will need to take care when introducing them to children for the first time. That being said, when socialized properly, White German Shepherds love children and will even take your children under their wing. The older your dog is, the harder it will be to introduce them to new things and people, but it still can be done. They also get on very well with other family pets, so there will be no issue there and they will become a loved family member. Training The White German Shepherd is a very intelligent dog and is therefore very easy to train. Their ease of training means that they make a great family dog as well as a dog for couples or individuals. You should train them from a very young age and always use positive reinforcement. This can include verbal praise and yummy treats to show them that they are doing a good job. German Shepherds can be a little stubborn, so you should never punish them or scold them. They are great detectives too, so hiding treats and getting them to sniff the treats out makes a fun game to play! Grooming Unfortunately, your White German Shepherd will shed all year round. This is because their coat is so thick. One way to minimize shed is to ensure that you brush them at least two to three times a week. Bathing is not necessary often — only when they look dirty. Brushing their teeth is very important to prevent dental decay and gum disease, although you can give them dental chews every day to help keep their teeth clean. One way to ensure that grooming your German Shepherd is not a traumatic experience for them is to begin grooming them from a young age. This will show them that there is nothing to be afraid of.

How do I leave a review of my Golden Retriever experience? Life Span Did You Know? The Golden Retriever has been an AKC-recognized breed since and was commonly used as a gun dog and for retrieving small game such as waterfowl, and for companionship. The Golden Retriever originated in the Scottish Highlands. The first Lord Tweedmouth, Dudley Majoribanks, is credited with developing the breed and keeping detailed records to create the ideal gun dog for the terrain. Great discipline and a gentle spirit make the Golden Retriever a perfect retrieval breed since the goal of this task is to bring the trophy back as undamaged as possible. Golden Retrievers first appeared in dog shows in at a British dog show. They also started appearing in the United States around the same time as they were brought across the Canadian border. They gained popularity with sport hunters and in general. Their popularity really took off in the s and they are consistently one of the most popular dog breeds. If you are not the sporting type, bringing a Golden Retriever into your family as a pet is just as rewarding because they are one of the most loyal and jovial breeds out there. One of the facts about Golden Retrievers is that they are the epitome of friendly and make fantastic family dogs. Golden Retrievers are considered one of the friendliest dog breeds. They tend to be good with kids, other dogs, other pets, and even strangers. Goldens love attention and they bond closely with their families. They are affectionate with them, and also just about everyone else. Although they do tend to get along with everyone, they love being around their favorite humans the most. They will bark to alert you and can end up barking a lot if you do not train your dog to stop barking early on. Golden Retrievers are highly adaptable dogs. They thrive in homes with yards where they can run. They can also adapt to apartment living as long as they get enough daily exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. These dogs do well in just about any climate, but are sensitive to heat. As one of the most affectionate dog breeds , they are not at all happy about being left alone for long periods of time. Although super-friendly and attention-loving, Goldens can also be sensitive to their surroundings; make sure they feel included, but have a quiet place to go if things get too noisy or overwhelming. Potential health concerns to be aware of in a Golden Retriever include progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts, elbow dysplasia , and hip dysplasia. Good breeding practices make a big difference in the health of puppies. Reputable breeders screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of the parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. Goldens are considered one of the best dog breeds for first-time owners. They are highly trainable dogs that pick up on things quickly and are eager to please. These traits make them a good fit for owners of all experience levels. It also helps them excel at obedience competitions. As one of the smartest dog breeds , Golden Retrievers can get bored easily. Because they pick up things quickly, they can get bored with too much repetition in training. If your dog has mastered the command, move on to something more advanced or another activity. You can also enroll in puppy training classes for some variety in training and also some socialization. Golden Retrievers have a long double coat that will shed a little year-round and will be heavier twice a year as the seasons change. Brushing a few times a week and daily brushing during seasonal shedding along with a bath as needed is usually enough for at-home care. You will want to go to the dog groomer for a professional trim a few times a year, especially as the seasons change. Nail trims once or twice monthly keep nails from growing too long. Daily tooth brushing, along with cleanings at the vet when needed, is ideal. Golden Retrievers are one of the most active dog breeds. Daily walks plus some playtime, time to run, and other activities are usually enough to keep these dogs happy and healthy. But, they are high-energy dogs that will likely always be up for more activity if you are. Much like the Labrador , they also tend to have an extended puppyhood. They tend to start winding down a little around the age of 3 and settle into your lifestyle, but they will still be high-energy dogs that require a lot of daily activity. Goldens are known for being versatile and athletic dogs. They tend to love swimming. Once they are done growing and the vet clears them for higher-impact activities, you can try other things too. They are one of the dog breeds that make good running partners. You can also teach them how to play frisbee or play fetch. Training for dog sports is another good option.
