Therefore, through parentage Greta will be DM normal. Greta's PennHIP distraction index was 0. Her PennHIP test is shown below. Greta is going to be a big girl, like her sister, Dayna. At 10 months old Greta was 88 pounds. Since she still has a lot of growing to do, she is going to be a very big girl topping at well over pounds. I predict her to be about pounds when mature. She is a very sweet and gentle little lady with a loving personality. Greta has been easy to train and is very smart. She is a Salhaus puppy from Salhaus German Shepherds. She is a black and tan. Bravo is a black and silver. Gray is black and tan. Based on what we see right now, she is going to be a stocky girl. Tillie is the traditional Black and Tan saddle-back color.

Tillie is very clever and uses her intelligence to maneuver well while playing with the other dogs. Testing: Tillie has had her Embark testing completed and she is completely clear of over genetic health conditions that Embark tests for. Tillie's PennHIP distraction index was 0.

Her sire is Menard's Legendary Royalair's Natsu. Natsu is bicolor. Koa is black and tan, but she is a very light black and tan. Lady's color has been hard to figure out. We thought she was a black and tan. However, her true colors have finally come out and she actually is a dark black and tan sable. This is due to her under coat being a different color than her top-coat. Either way, as you can see by the photos, Lady has a lot of color. I predict Lady to be around pounds when she fully matures. Lady is very playful and energetic. If you are looking for a puppy to run with you or go on hikes, I highly recommend one from Lady. She is a very happy and an intelligent little lady who loves to have her belly rubbed.

American Pit Bull: Boxer Puppy Biting and Nipping When we talk about Boxer puppies biting children, both younger and older kids, toys or even biting at your feet, what most are actually talking about is nipping. There is a huge difference between the 2 words. A nip is a quick snap of the jaws, it can be done in the air close to a person or it can make skin contact yet it is a pinch type bite that often does not break the skin. Boxer puppies and even older dogs nip, not to attack someone, but to send a warning. The warning is not necessarily that of an impending attack… Boxer puppy nipping is done for one of several reasons: As play — Young pups are used to nipping at their littermates as a form of play and this may carry over as they transition into their new home. If a Boxer puppy is biting a lot, it may be an issue of the dog needing to learn the rules of the home and needing to learn that was used to be acceptable with other pups is no longer acceptable with his humans. A Method of Sending a Message — Boxer dogs of any age may nip for many reasons. Unable to vocalize, the nip is a message. Often it is a low growl, lasting just seconds, with teeth bared. In some cases, there will only be a growl as the dog lowers his back, hunches over and bares his teeth yet does not actually physically bite. On the other hand, an actual bite not a nip is a full force, aggressive action in which the jaws lock down and teeth puncture the skin. The dog intends to inflict injury and the person on the other end often receives it unless thick clothing gets in the way, etc. In the following section we will discuss how to stop a Boxer dog from biting in the sense that the dog is actually nipping and it is not a full force, aggression bite meant to do serious harm. Training to Stop Boxer Puppy to Stop Biting and Nipping Overview Many owners feel, and rightfully so, that a bite is a serious issue and a behavior that needs to be addressed immediately. For this reason, they feel that taking serious action is the only way to stop the behavior… and this is where things can go wrong. And this is because it does not teach the dog what he needs to learn. Yelling, hitting or otherwise intimidating a puppy or dog will only serve to make the dog afraid of his owner. Alternatively, some dogs will see this as a challenge. So, owners must choose: Fear or respect. For a happy, healthy environment in which humans and canines live in peace, the Boxer or any other dog should be taught to respect his humans, not fear them. In addition, for a dog that bites, physically isolating him will stop the problem short term…while the dog is taken away of course he is not biting anyone…. It is a huge mistake to miss out on a chance to train a dog to stop biting. Of course, in the rare chance that a dog is full out biting, causing injury and is clearly dangerously aggressive, the dog should be removed… And measures must be taken to keep the family safe from any potential attacks…but again, this does not relate to puppy nipping, play biting or nipping due to teething, etc. Training a Boxer puppy to stop biting takes a bit of mental will power. You may have heard this before: Ignore the puppy. There is no other way for a dog to interpret this, as it is canine mentality. His humans and any other animals in the home are his pack. Every single pack that exists has a leader. Having a leader is a defining element of a pack. Problems can arise when a dog does not have a clear understanding of who that leader is. Humans begin eating. Two to three minutes pass. Once the dog obeys, a delicious and healthy meal is set down for him. So, once a dog knows that his human is in charge, how does this training stop the Boxer from biting….? When a Boxer understands that his human s are his leader s , being ignored is akin to being rejected by pack. A dog will suddenly be very humbled. He will worry that his pack has turned their backs on him… he will question his behavior and, when done correctly, he will make the connection that his action of biting caused a major problem with his standing in his family…. If you were both on the floor, stand up. If you were holding him, place him down. If you were both sitting on the sofa, rise up. This means zero talking, absolutely no looking in his direction…nothing. As a Boxer puppy works very hard to gain attention of any one in the house, everyone even those who were not bitten should be completely indifferent to the dog. Allow 10 minutes to pass. Now, when you are doing this, 2 minutes may feel like 20, so take a look at the clock and then choose an activity flip through the TV, check your email, get a drink…do whatever you want, but do remain in the house so that your Boxer can see that you are ignoring him and wait it out. After those 10 minutes, it is time to speak to your Boxer, but not engage him in any activity yet. Many times, the puppy will test things out. Simply mull around near your dog, speaking a bit and acting matter-of-fact. Do not give praise. Wait things out for about 5 minutes. If your Boxer does not nip or bite at you, it will be time to go back to the position that you were in when the bite occurred. It is at this time that if your Boxer does not nip at you that praise and attention can be given. If the dog does bite again, the complete ignoring method of training must be done — this means that the dog is testing things to see if it was indeed his nip that caused his temporary outcast from the pack.

His personality is sure to be lively. A Springer Spaniel coat is an important indicator of its personality. A long-coat breed will need to stay logged in with deep water at least twice per week while a type such as the German Shepherd may only need medium sudsing sessions because his fur is short enough not to require much coverage or attention. Make sure your pet understands where he fits into this family by showing appreciation on either side. Weight, Size, and Lifespan: The Cocker Spaniel German Shepherd Mix , is a proud dog with an easygoing personality that makes it one of the most popular breeds. They have friendly eyes and their quick wagging tails give them high spirits. The females weigh 45 — 55 pounds while males can range from 40 up to 60 pounds but usually average around 52 lbs. You will need toys for him so he can keep his teeth clean and still have something interesting like furniture or shoes, but the best part about this breed is their interactions with people! He needs at least ninety minutes of playtime each day to stay happy and healthy. This way both parties know what may or may not happen in the future down the road if any issue arises during childhood which can oftentimes lead us into adulthood without realizing how much our lifestyle choices affect these outcomes. The English Springer Spaniel is often mixed with the German Shepherd Dog, and these two breeds share many common health problems. For example, they can be prone to joint dysplasia or hypothyroidism as well as other Raynaud disease-related issues such as dog tears on their paws from working in wet conditions all day long. Diet Requirements: It is important to know that overfeeding Cocker Spaniel German Shepherd Mix can lead to health problems such as elbow and hip dysplasia getting worse. A good diet for your pup would be a Raw Food Diet which will make them healthier than ever before. Post navigation. Coat German Shepherds have dense undercoats combined with medium-to-long, rough guard hairs. In contrast, Cocker Spaniels are known for their luxuriously long, silky coats. A cross of these two breeds could inherit any of these two types of coats or even a combination of both. However, other color combinations, as well as markings, can be inherited, especially from the Cocker Spaniel side. On the other hand, the GSD double-coat sheds quite heavily but requires brushing only once or twice a week. Make sure you keep it dry especially after every bath to reduce the risk of ear infections. All other grooming requirements i. Strength German Shepherds have impressive strength but the opposite is true of Cocker Spaniels. Nevertheless, Cockers are hardy dogs and can be quite athletic thanks to their hunting and sporting heritage. German Shepherd — Cocker Spaniel crosses are generally quite strong. However, they are not expected to compete in strength with purebred GSDs as they are smaller and less muscular. This should be unsurprising as the ability to run fast is an important trait among game dogs. Nevertheless, they could still be expected to reach top speeds of 30 miles per hour. However, they will still need regular exercise to maintain the muscle tone their bodies are built for. Generally, these sporting dogs will thrive with 30 minutes to 1 hour of exercise per day. Playing fetch or going on long walks are good options. Additionally, romping around with other canine companions would count as exercise. Trainability According to the dog intelligence ranking developed by canine psychologist Stanley Coren, German Shepherds belong to the top tier of dogs. Their intelligence enables them to master a command in fewer than 5 exposures. Mixing Cocker Spaniels with GSDs is likely to result in a less intelligent, although still a remarkably bright dog. Purebred Cocker Spaniels belong to the second tier of dogs, which means they can master a command within 15 exposures. Even if the two parent breeds differ in intelligence, any German Shepherd — Cocker Spaniel mix is still expected to be highly trainable. Apart from intelligence, they are eager to please and have a strong work drive. They are affectionate, patient with young children, and tolerant of other pets. Additionally, they are protective but less vigilant and more accepting of strangers compared to purebred German Shepherds. They also tend to be gentle and even-tempered. Health GSD — Cocker Spaniel mixes tend to be of good health but could develop severe health conditions that stem from the size difference of their parents. Or, they could develop organs that are disproportionate to their bodies. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to ensure proper development, monitor their overall condition, and address possible health risks early on. Additionally, GSD — Cocker Spaniel crosses that inherit floppy ears might be prone to ear infections. Much care has to be taken to keep the ear canals clean and the flaps dry. Lifespan Although some health issues might stem from the significant size difference of the two breeds, healthy Cocker Spaniel — German Shepherd crosses actually tend to live long and happy lives. In fact, they have a life expectancy of 10 to 14 years. To improve longevity, it helps to give your dog a high-quality, well-balanced diet as soon as you get them. This program was specifically developed so that mixed breeds can participate in various AKC events, including title recognition programs like Flyball and Diving Dogs. Finding a German Shepherd— Cocker Spaniel cross would be difficult because they are not very common. Enthusiasts of each breed prefer to keep their breeding stocks pure, typically to conform to AKC standards. If they are mated the male is usually the Cocker Spaniel as the potential size of the puppies could be too large for the smaller Cocker Spaniel to carry. Nevertheless, you might be able to find one caused by mismating or accidental breeding. And, they might experience some health challenges due to the size difference of their parents. Nevertheless, their more timid nature is a delight for households looking for loyal yet calm and affectionate companions. Any puppies that qualify as a German Shepherd Mix are a cross between a German Shepherd and another dog breed. In a mixed breed, you can get any mix of characteristics in the parent breeds. German Shepherds tend to be strong-willed, intelligent, playful, and loyal. To get a full idea of what to expect in your puppy, be sure to ask the breeder about the other dog breed in the cross and check out the mother dog in-person to get a general idea about size and temperament. On the German Shepherd side, you have an independent dog with high intelligence and a playful spirit. German Shepherds make great family pets and are born protectors. Because of their protective instinct, they can be suspicious of strangers. Socialization early and often can help curb this suspicion and make them more open to new people and situations. German Shepherds also tend to be loving and have a lively personality. The German Shepherd Mix can have any or all of these characteristics plus any characteristics from the other parent breed in the mix. Before buying a German Shepherd Mix puppy and bringing them home, be sure to talk to the breeder about the other parent breed. If the puppies are being family-raised around children, you should be able to get an idea of how they will do in a family setting that includes children. The German Shepherd is a moderately adaptable working dog that was bred to guard, work, and herd. They do not tend to do well in apartments and are best-suited for houses with yards. GSDs prefer to be with their families and do not like to be alone. They also tend to prefer cooler climates as they are sensitive to heat. With a German Shepherd Mix, you could get a moderately adaptable dog that is just like a purebred German Shepherd. You could also end up with a dog that is more like the other parent breed. Talking with the breeder about the other parent breed can give you a good idea of what to expect. German Shepherds can be prone to elbow and hip dysplasia. You will need to ask the breeder about the other parent breed in the cross to get an idea of any other health concerns to be aware of in your German Shepherd Mix. Health screenings, clearances, and the genetic history of the parents can help allay concerns about potential health conditions. On the German Shepherd side, training and obedience classes are highly recommended for novice dog owners. Although GSDs are highly intelligent, pick up on things quickly, and train fairly easily, they can be stubborn with an independent streak. Regardless of the other parent breed in the cross, you should be prepared to enroll in obedience and training classes with your German Shepherd Mix. The experience will be beneficial to both you and your puppy and will also offer some opportunities for socialization. You will still want to ask the breeder about the other parent breed in the cross to get an understanding of what to expect during the training process. Professional grooming a few times a year and the occasional bath is also recommended. Regardless of the coat type, your German Shepherd Mix will need to have their nails trimmed monthly and their teeth brushed regularly. Not every dog will allow you to do this, so try to get a tooth brushing session in at least a few times a week to reduce tartar buildup. This will help prevent dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. Plus, it will help cut down on bad breath! German Shepherds tend to have a high activity level. They were bred to run, herd, guard, and protect, so they are used to working and having a job to do. They are definitely not a lazy dog breed! Be sure to talk to the breeder about the other parent breed in the mix. You will still want to go in prepared for a high energy dog with the understanding that your German Shepherd Mix puppy may have an activity level closer to the other breed in the cross. If both are high energy dogs breeds, expect to end up with a high energy dog. A German Shepherd is a large dog breed that generally weighs between 55 and 90 pounds. They also usually stand between 22 and 26 inches tall at the shoulders. The other dog breed in the cross could result in a smaller or larger German Shepherd Mix. A German Shepherd generally lives for years. You should be able to expect a similar range in your German Shepherd Mix, but the other dog breed in the cross could affect this range. Featured German Shepherd Mix Article. The same holds if you are considering bringing a hybrid mix dog into your family. In this section, we take a brief look at the history and lineage of the German Shepherd dog and the Cocker Spaniel dog. German Shepherd history The German Shepherd is the second most popular out of American Kennel Club registered dog breeds purebred dog breed in America today. This dog was first developed in German in the s by a man named Captain Max von Stephanitz. He achieved his goal and the German Shepherd went on to become one of the most popular military, police, security, service, therapy, and pet dogs as well. Cocker Spaniel history The Cocker Spaniel is the 30th most popular out of American Kennel Club registered dog breeds purebred dog breed in America today. This dog breed looks like a plush lap dog and they do love laps but was bred to be a sporting dog to hunt birds. There are two distinct breed lines and both are registered: the American Cocker Spaniel and the English Cocker Spaniel. German Shepherds are known to be highly people-focused and want to please their owners. They are very people-centric dogs who want to be with their people as much as possible. German Shepherd Cocker Spaniel personality and temperament In this area, the German Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel have a lot more in common than their wildly differing outer appearances might suggest. Both dogs are intensely devoted to their families and are very driven to please their owners. So here it is hard to predict what temperament traits your puppy may inherit. An adult German Shepherd dog can easily weigh 50 to 90 pounds and stand anywhere from 22 to 26 inches tall paw pads to shoulders. The Cocker Spaniel as an adult typically weighs between 20 and 30 pounds and stands .From this, you can see how the size of your adult German Shepherd Cocker Spaniel mix puppy may vary quite a bit! Working with a later-stage hybrid breeder F1, F2 or later can help control for any size issues imposed by your living situation. In general, you can expect your GSD Cocker pup to stand between 14 and 24 inches tall and weigh between 30 and 70 pounds. However, Cocker Spaniels can also be surprisingly energetic, given their sporting dog heritage. German Shepherd training and exercise needs These dogs are working dogs to their core and their focus on tasks is unparalleled. While GSDs are now extremely popular as companion canines, they still need a lot of activity and exercise and do best when involved in work or agility of some sort. Training the German Shepherd becomes easier once you realize just how people-centric these dogs are. However, because the GSD is so smart, only positive training and reinforcement methods work well. Treats, pats, praise, and play are the best rewards. Cocker Spaniel training and exercise needs Cocker Spaniels are more all-around companion canine dogs and so as long as they have plenty of daily playtime and regular walks, they will typically be quite content as pet dogs. Cocker Spaniels are very smart and extremely sensitive emotionally. Only positive training and reinforcement methods should be used, as Cockers can get their feelings hurt very easily. Praise treats, and pats are great training incentives and rewards. But just how high that energy and drive to stay active is will depend on the influence your puppy gets from either parent dog. The German Shepherd coat is a thick, double-layer coat of a medium-length, thick, coarse, water-resistant outer layer and a thick, soft insulating under layer. Since maintaining coat function is of the utmost priority to keep the working GSD warm and dry, the coat sheds continuously year-round. The coat also sheds visibly and profusely at the changing of the seasons. You will want to keep your brush, lint roller, and vacuum cleaner handy during these times. You will need to commit to daily brushing and detangling sessions and regular bathing. Professional grooming may also be desirable, especially if your time is limited. The fine, thin hair can easily tangle and this can cause damage to the skin. Careful combing is essential — pulling on any mats or tangles can tear the skin. The coat should always be detangled before bathing or the tangles may become unmanageable. If the tangles are not groomed out daily, they may become so matted that there is no other choice but to shaving. This means you only want to choose a Cocker Spaniel if you have enough time to do at least one brushing and grooming session daily. If your puppy takes more after the GSD side, your time will be spent vacuuming, lint rolling and brushing. If your puppy takes more after the Cocker Spaniel side, your time will be spent brushing, detangling, bathing, trimming and perhaps making trips to the groomer. Here again, when you choose to work with a later-stage hybrid breeder F1b, F2 or later this can help you guesstimate the adult coat type of your GSD Cocker puppy with more accuracy. This can often strengthen breed health as well as contribute to other desirable traits. Should a Cocker Spaniel Mix take after their Spaniel parent, they will grow into a small, affectionate, and friendly dog that loves to cuddle and be around their favorite humans. Cocker Spaniels are known for their sweet personalities and charming looks. These little dogs love attention and are playful. They tend to get along well with children and other dogs. Although they do have a high prey drive and an urge to chase, they can get along well with other small pets in the household if they were raised together and have some extra socialization and training with them.

Some of My Favorite Products For Dog Owners How to Stop a Labradoodle from Smelling Some dogs are only showered once or twice a year and every time you start filling the bathtub, the dog is suddenly nowhere to be seen. But if you manage to turn it into a habit, each bath time will be much easier. Bathing your dog approximately once a month is a good idea. Start by brushing it a bit. Mats will only get worse if they get in the water. I recommend using the FURminator Deshedding tool affiliate link Start by filling the bathtub so the water is about the knee-level of your dog. Having a non-slip mat is also helpful. Washing your dog. Now lift your dog into the tub all while praising and encouraging it a lot. Now hold the dog with one hand, and use the other hand to pour water over it. Use a sponge to wash the dog in its face. Be careful not to get shampoo in its eyes, as dogs hate that just as much as you and I. Now rinse your Labradoodle with clean, lukewarm water until all the shampoo is out of the fur. Drying your dog. Start by squeezing as much water out of the fur as possible using your hands, before you start using towels. One final thing is to check that the ears are totally dry, as bacteria thrive in moist dog ears. Fresh Food Diet Dogs are natural carnivores and they thrive on meat. But if the smell is more yeasty and heavy, it could be due to an ear infection. If your dog is scratching its ears, or shaking his head, or just appears to be in a state of general discomfort, take it to the vet, as they can quickly identify an ear infection, and provide the proper treatment. Of to roll in something smelly! Allergy Skin Problem The smell could also be because of the different types of skin problems. This is also something your vet will be quick to diagnose. You might notice they are swollen, and that could be an indication that you should take your dog to a vet and have the glands fully expressed. Another sign is that the dog will probably also be in a bit of pain when sitting or pooping. Or attempt to lick or even bite its rear end. So there you have it. Hopefully, this has given you some insight into the possible reasons, and means of how to fix the problem.

Dog Food: Every dog needs to eat correctly, and finding the best food for your dog can be challenging, as the market is absolutely flooded with products. By Chris The last thing you want to hear is that the new Labradoodle you just brought into your life is going to be smelly. But why does my Labradoodle smell so bad? Can if be fixed yep! The truth of the matter is that all dogs stink, but some stink more than others. Labradoodles in particular can be more susceptible to certain odours for a variety of reasons. The primary reason why Labradoodles can be more prone to smelling like any Poodle mix is because they are very active, love the outdoors, and LOVE water. This already sounds like a recipe for disaster. It means that there is a greater chance of them getting dirty, which increases the likelihood of infections, allergies, and dragging who knows what throughout your house. Aside from their active lifestyle, there are a multitude of other reasons why your Labradoodle may smell. All of which we will cover below. Why Does My Labradoodle Stink? Labradoodles can carry a smelly odor for a variety of reasons. However, the most common reasons are typically; ear infections, a dirty coat, allergies, gas, dental issues, or anal glands. A Red Labradoodle puppy sits on the grass. Ear infections In general, all doodles are prone to ear infections due to their Poodle inheritance. Poodles inner ear hair can block the airflow, and cause bacteria, and moisture to build up inside their ears. Outside of the inner ear hair, Labradoodles also have long, droopy ears which can mean that they are more likely to trap dirt, grease, and other unwanted substances which can lead to infection. If you notice your dog scratching their ears, or shaking their head more than normal, or is in a general state of discomfort. They likely have an infection, which will have to be dealt with immediately by taking them to the vet. Both the Poodle and Labrador have garnered massive reputations for being spectacular hunters, and water dogs. This combination means your Labradoodle will also inherit much of the same traits. While this fun-loving nature is part of why we love Labradoodles, it can also mean more is being dragged through the house, and latching onto their coat. A beautiful black Labradoodle puppy! Photo by Bennilover CC-by-SA no modifications Allergies Another common problem many Labradoodle owners run into is their dog smelling due to an allergic reaction. This could be because of a new shampoo, new food, or even a reaction to fleas. Tying into the aforementioned point of doodles being very active, they may run into situations where they smear themselves in something unpleasant, which can result in a plethora of negative results. Fleas can easily latch onto dogs , and once their saliva gets into the dogs bloodstream, the dog can become infected, or develop an allergic reaction. Dogs much like humans can become allergic to just about anything, so be conscious of any new shampoos, diets, or materials in their environment, as they could be having an adverse effect to these products. Allergies may be present if you notice excessive itching, swelling, or irritation in any of these areas. Gas diet One of the biggest culprits when it comes to your Labradoodle stinking is due to gas, which can generally be linked directly to diet. While all dogs get gassy from time to time, if it persists, or if there is an unusually foul smell present. It could be a sign to change their diet. Dogs are natural carnivores, which means they need meat to live a healthy lifestyle. Look for a fresh food diet that helps eliminate bad smells, as they are far more natural due to the removal of additives, and ingredients found in typical dog food. This can be most commonly due to gum disease as bacteria gets trapped in the gums, or plaque build up. The good news is that plaque can be easily removed by you at home, however if the issue persists and turns into calculus, or tartar then this will have to be professionally cleaned. Labradoodle puppy eyes are remarkable. Anal glands The final option that could be present is your pup having issues with their anal glands. Also, if you notice a strong and rather fishy smell coming from your Labradoodle, this is typically not normal, and could be the result of anal gland issues. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should definitely take your dog to the vet, and have the glands looked at professionally. How to Stop a Labradoodle from Stinking? When it comes to removing the stink, a lot of it will depend entirely on what the exact issue is. If you fear that your dog breed may have an ear infection, dental problems, or anal sacs, then you are likely going to have to schedule an appointment with your local vet. However, if the issue can be narrowed down to something more simple such as an allergy, gas, or a dirty coat. These are things that you can change from home. Grooming Away the Smell This is without a doubt the most important step to take to removing the stink, and will go a long way in preventing it down the road as well. When it comes to Labradoodles specifically, they love water which can make the grooming routine even more paramount as mats only get worse with water. The next step you should seek to take is to regularly bathe your dog. A huge deterrent for owners is the reaction their dog has as soon as you turn the tap on. However, if you turn it into more of a habit once a month , the dog will become much more comfortable, and the entire process will become much easier. While washing your dog, make sure to take it slow, go through the entire coat, and make sure to shower the dog with loads of praise, and positive reinforcement treats. After the bath, the drying portion is also essential as any moisture leftover could just put you back at square one. Start by squeezing out as much water as possible before using the towel, and pay extra close attention to the ears! The best Labradoodle foods are nutritious and packed with protein Clean The House and Dog Areas Post grooming, the next most important factor for removing any unwanted stink is by staying on top of the house cleaning. Remember to sweep up, and vacuum any remaining hair left over after the grooming session, but even making it into a regular routine would be beneficial. Many people underestimate the importance of regular vacuuming and hair removal, but together with daily grooming will go a long way in preventing odor. There are also a variety of electric air filters, and purifiers that help to remove any unwanted dust, odour, and chemicals, leaving your room smelling good, and clean. Labradoodles are without a doubt one of the most adorable breeds in the world, however they also combine two breeds that can be very smelly for different reasons. While this can provide us with some much-needed entertainment, it also puts them at a greater risk to infections, dirt, and obtaining a smelly coat. Aside from their active lifestyle, they can be more prone to certain infections, allergies, and food sensitivities that can make them smell. To put it simply, there are a variety of potential factors, but as long as you are diligent in finding a solution, and open-minded to all of the possible outcomes.

This is a valid concern for pet owners, especially those who are sensitive to odors or have allergies. Do Labradoodles Smell? Being a mix between a Labrador and a Poodle, they have a coat that sheds less than other dogs. Various factors can cause a Labradoodle to smell. Some Labs may have a stronger smell than others, depending on various factors. Here are some reasons why some Labs may smell more than others. If a Labradoodle is fed a poor-quality diet, it can cause them to have a stronger odor. Image Credit: litthouse, Pixabay Skin Issues Labradoodles are prone to skin issues, such as allergies and infections. If a Labradoodle has a skin issue, it can cause them to have a stronger smell. This is because their skin may produce more oils or bacteria, which can contribute to their odor. Odors can also be the result of parasitic or bacterial infections which will need to be treated. In most cases, these issues can be treated with a shot or oral medicine. General signs of skin infections will include redness, rashes, itching, and gnawing. Ear Infections Labradoodles are also prone to ear infections, which can cause them to have a strong smell. As a result, the infection can cause discharge and inflammation in the ear canal, which can produce a foul odor. Regular ear cleaning and veterinary care can help to prevent ear infections and reduce their odor. You can clean their ears with cotton swabs and a canine ear cleaning solution. Some of these factors are controllable, while others are not, unfortunately. Here are some other factors that can affect Labradoodle smell. Coat Type Labs can have a range of coat types , from curly to wavy to straight. The type of coat can affect the amount of natural oils and dander that the dog produces, which can impact their smell. Curly-coated Labradoodles typically produce less dander, while straight-coated Labradoodles will usually produce more. For example, if a Labradoodle spends a lot of time outside, they may be exposed to more dirt, pollen, and other environmental factors that can contribute to their odor. Similarly, if a Labradoodle lives in a home with smokers or other pets, their odor may be more noticeable. Image Credit: litthouse, Pixabay How to Reduce and Prevent Labradoodle Odor While Labradoodles do have a natural odor, there are several things that owners can do to reduce and prevent their odor. Here are some tips. This also includes cleaning the ears, trimming their paw pads, and taking note of any skin infections that might be signs of parasites. This is definitely the case if your dog is suffering from any allergies or digestive issues. Good dental care for Labradoodles includes regular brushing, dental chews in the form of treats , and vet dental cleanings a couple times a year. Regular Veterinary Care And then there is the routine veterinary care that will help your Labradoodle to maintain its health and prevent any issues before they start. Your vet may also help prescribe certain shampoos to help minimize odors with your Labradoodle. All dogs produce some amount of dander, which can cause an allergic reaction in some people. However, Labradoodles produce less dander than some other breeds, which can make them a better option for those with allergies.

Are all Labradoodles the same? Labradoodles come in a variety of sizes, coat types, and temperaments.

Sure, all dog breeds may give off a unique odor, but some Labradoodles can particularly be more susceptible to some smells than other breeds. However, the smell can be mild and not too overwhelming or offensive as far as stinky dogs go. Read on to learn likely reasons why Labradoodles might stink and what you can do to ensure your dog always remains clean and fresh. Why Do Labradoodles Smell? Labradoodles might smell more than other dog breeds because they feature coat characteristics that make them more pungent. Moreover, they love spending time outdoors, thus increasing their likelihood of allergies and infections, which might make them stink more. Besides their active lifestyle, there are several other reasons why a Labradoodle might smell, as seen below. Ear Infections Generally, all Doodle varieties are susceptible to ear infections due to their Poodle lineage. Poodles tend to have internal ear hair, which can easily block airflow, thus causing moisture and bacteria to build up in the canal. If it accumulates for a while, it can cause ear infections, often producing a nasty smell inside your Labradoodles ear canal. Not only that, but this breed also features droopy and long ears that are more likely to trap grease, dirt, and other unwanted debris inside. If the stinky ears appear heavy and yeasty, look closer because that is where the smell is likely coming from. Fortunately, you can prevent this issue by regularly cleaning your Labradoodles ears.

Allergies Labradoodles can also be stinky due to allergic reactions from a new diet, new dog shampoo, or even an extreme reaction to a flea infestation. You can tell that your Labradoodle suffers from a flea allergic reaction if you notice excessive swelling, itching, and even irritation in the affected areas. Dental Issues Generally, all dog breeds are susceptible to bad breath. Foul breath due to dental issues is often a result of plaque buildup and bacteria getting trapped in the gums. Thankfully, plaque can easily be removed without a professional having to intervene. But if the plaque progresses into tartar or calculus, you might have to get your dog professionally cleaned.

Either way, give your dog a fresh food diet to help get rid of foul smells. Fresh foods are a better alternative because they lack the ingredients and additives found in most commercially produced dog foods that can exacerbate the foul smell. Whichever the case, you can get rid of the foul smell by bathing your Labradoodle and performing basic grooming practices. Image Credit: Chedko, Shutterstock 6. Anal Glands If you notice a strong and fishy smell coming off your dog, this is not normal for this breed and is probably due to issues in the anal glands. If your Labradoodle is experiencing issues in its anal glands, it might appear to be in pain while sitting down, swelling in the affected area, or even attempting to bite or lick its behind. How to Prevent or Stop Your Labradoodle From Smelling To successfully prevent and get rid of the pungent smell in your Labradoodle, you first have to ascertain the root cause of the problem. If the smell arises from medical issues, it is pertinent that you take your dog to the vet for further analysis. Otherwise, there are several things that you can do at home to prevent it. They include: Proper Grooming Practices Grooming is undoubtedly the easiest way to get rid of the pungent smell from a dog, and it will go a long way towards preventing the stink in the future. Proper grooming techniques for the Labradoodle involve brushing its coat with a high-quality brush to get rid of debris and mats. After brushing, consider giving your dog regular baths. While some dog owners may opt to bathe their dogs once or twice a year, experts recommend you give them a good wash every month or so. Sure, some dogs may not enjoy being bathed, but for a Labradoodle owner, make sure that your dog gets comfortable with the whole process. After bathing your dog, make sure you dry his coat completely because any residual moisture content can make the grooming process null and void. So, as much as you might be using a damp towel, try as much as you can to squeeze out the water before using it on your pooch.

You can opt for an automatic-release air freshener that is often free-standing. You need only plug this device in the rooms that your dog spends most of its time in and voila! Your house will be stink-free. Moreover, you can opt to purchase purifiers and electric air filters to get rid of odor, dust, and other chemicals from your home, thus leaving it fresh and clean. Vacuum or sweep your house to get rid of any leftover hair from the initial grooming. Even though some dog owners might underestimate the overall value of regular hair removal and vacuuming, if combined with daily grooming practices, it will go a long way toward keeping your dog and your home odor free. Image Credit: cottonbro studio, Pexels Conclusion Labradoodles are considered mild stinkers because the odor is not as offensive and pungent as you might find in some dog breeds. Thankfully, your local vet can fix some of these medical issues. All dogs have their own unique odor, and some Labradoodles inherit coat characteristics which make them more pungent than other dogs. Do Labradors smell? Unfortunately, Labradors are considered to be one of the smellier dog breeds. This is largely due to their double coat, which consists of a coarse top coat to protect against bumps and scratches, and a soft undercoat that acts as an insulator. Labs also produce more natural oils from their skin than most other breeds. These features combine to make their coat water repellent perfect for swimming in icy cold water to retrieve waterfowl but also rather pungent — especially when wet! The natural oils are one source of their decidedly doggie odor. And Labs that frequently swim in ponds or lakes also pick up smells from those places — especially if dirty water is allowed to soak into their undercoat, and not washed out before it dries. Do Poodles smell? On the other hand, Poodles smell less than most breeds. All dogs have their own unique scent, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, diet, etc. And it should also be noted that every dog releases distinctive smells from their ears, mouth, and feet caused by natural bacteria and fungi. Do Labradoodles smell? So Labradoodle is likely to have one parent that smells most than most, and one that smells very little. Whether or not your Labradoodle smells really comes down to the type of coat that your pup inherits. Labradoodles with a single coat smell less than those with a double coat. Why Does my Labradoodle Smell? From misadventure to diet, and from bad breath to infection or skin allergies, there are a number of reasons why your Labradoodle could be smellier than normal. Bad breath is a common complaint among dog owners. There are four main causes: 1. Bacteria in the mouth The most common cause is bacteria in the mouth which produce volatile sulfur compounds. It can make their drool seem stinky. Regular toothbrushing and professional cleaning can improve halitosis in many cases by removing plaque build up. Peridontal diseases Tooth decay, gum disease and abscesses in the mouth or jaw can also cause bad breath. These need attention from a properly qualified veterinary dentist. Disorders of the gut Digestive problems due to poor diet or an imbalance of bad gut bacteria can also produce foul-smelling gasses which travel back up the esophagus. When this happens, it can usually be remedied by a change of diet. Which is why, if your Doodle has persistent halitosis, you should always enlist a vet to help find out why. To protect against infection, dry their ears gently and thoroughly every time they go in water. Other signs that your Labradoodle has an ear infection include scratching his ears, rubbing his head, inflammation of the ear, and discharge from the ear canal. If you suspect your dog has an ear infection, visit the vet. They may prescribe antibiotics to help them recover. When it comes to overpowering bad smells, a dog with excessive gas is one of the worst. It could be caused by the fiber source used in his kibble. Beans and other legumes, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, and foods containing lactose such as cheese, are other common food causes. And make sure you leave a gap between exercise and eating. Participating in vigorous exercise right before or after meals can cause flatulence and put your Labradoodle at risk of the life-threatening condition known as bloat. Chronic gas is also a sign of some health problems, including parasites, irritable bowel syndrome, and intestinal disease. All dogs have two small anal sacs which secrete a lubricant to help them pass feces comfortably. If these glands are blocked or the dog has an anal gland infection, this secretion becomes extremely stinky and very painful for them. This could be caused by a poor diet, or by structural abnormalities in the anal glands. Labradoodles are particularly prone to skin allergies and infections, which can produce a pungent scent. Wet dog is a strong smell all on its own, but if their skin stays damp it can lead to skin infections. Bacterial and yeast infections have a strong smell and might also be related to allergies. Irregularities in the glands or thyroid problems can also be underlying causes of smelly skin infections. How to Prevent a Labradoodle from Smelling A smelly Labradoodle is not always caused by something ominous. It could be that your pup just needs a bath with doggy shampoo. Washing and especially drying, a dog with thick curly hair can be a bit daunting so do check out our guide to getting your dog dry after a bath. Regularly washing their bedding is also something that can reduce nasty smells that often gets overlooked. Do you have a smelly Labradoodle? Tell us about your experiences in the comments.

Possibly even more important is how to know what to vaccinate for and how often vaccines should be administered to our dogs. Generally speaking for adult GSD's, the most important things to vaccinate for are canine parvovirus and also for canine distemper. There are many combo vaccines on the market that can be purchased that containe vaccines to cover several things such as distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis, etc at one time. Many factors are important when deciding on which combo shot to purchase and give your GSD when needed - for example, depending on the age of the animal to be vaccinated, it's actual vaccine history, it's current health, etc. Never vaccinate a sick or injured GSD. For optimal immunity German Shepherd puppies can be vaccinated at 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 weeks of age, and then every 3 years as adult pets. If, however, there are any degenerative or immune mediated diseases or history of cancer, then the pet should be evaluated to determine the necessity of vaccinations after the puppy hood series has ended. While a vaccination for rabies is required by law in most states, and must be administered by a licensed veterinarian, many German Shepherd owners, for financial reasons, will choose to vaccinate their pets at home for all other infectious diseases. Administering GSD vaccinations: When using any vaccines that must be mixed first, there are four simple steps to follow in vaccinating dogs. Shake mixture thoroughly. Since most vaccinations are given by subcutaneous injection just under the skin , the most convenient area to give the shot is located in the shoulder area, just behind the neck near the collar area. Other important factors in giving GSD Vaccinations: Always use a separate sterile needle and syringe for each injection, and a fresh and clean needle for each dog you're giving a vaccine to never share needles among your pets and then safely dispose of all used needles and syringes. As always, if you have any questions about administering your own GSD Vaccinations yourself, contact your veterinarian or your German Shepherd breeder.

It provides protection against two of the most deadly viral diseases that affect dogs — canine distemper and canine parvo. Since puppies do not retain antibodies against any disease for long. The maternal antibodies already present in their system remove the antibodies produced via vaccination. So, it is absolutely necessary to keep vaccinating your puppy at an interval of 2 to 4 weeks against Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza and Leptospirosis DHPPiL until they are about 20 weeks old. Once they have received their final dose of DHPPiL you need to repeat the vaccine booster after 1 year. Sadly, rabies has NO cure. We often tell ourselves that as long as our dogs are not bitten by a feral dog or animal, there is no risk of rabies. Now, rabies is commonly spread through bites. However, it spreads through the contact of the saliva of the affected animal with the blood of the recipient. So, if any infected animal licks a small open wound, there is a good chance of the transmission of the virus. There is no point taking such a huge risk especially since there is no way to prevent rabies transmission after a bite from an infected animal. When it comes to rabies, prevention via vaccination is the ONLY way. Get your pet vaccinated against rabies by the time they are 90 days old. If they received their anti-rabies vaccination when they were younger than 45 days, they will require a booster vaccination when they are 90 days old. There is a common belief that it is not prevalent in India. Note: canine coronavirus only affects dogs. It usually presents as digestive distress. It is extremely easy to confuse canine coronavirus infection with canine parvo. It spreads quite easily and rapidly. Eating from an infected food bowl, sniffing infected poop or pee, and licking infected surfaces can cause your dog to become infected. So basically, every time your puppy or dog goes out for a walk, they are at risk of being exposed to canine coronavirus. The only way to ensure that your dog never gets infected is by getting them vaccinated on time against canine coronavirus. Kennel Cough Vaccine For Dogs and Puppies Puppies and dogs are frequently exposed to kennel cough especially when they visit boardings and doggy parks. The name itself states that it can spread quite easily between dogs at kennels. It is a very common bacterial infection seen in shelters or any other place that houses multiple dogs. Although treatable, it can result in severe respiratory distress, especially in flat-faced brachycephalic breeds. The best decision is to protect your pup from kennel cough with just one jab.

But don't worry, we're here to help. In this article, we provide a comprehensive A-to-Z guide for dog vaccination in India - covering everything you need to know about what shots are available, when they should be administered, and more! Why vaccinate your dog? There are a number of important reasons to vaccinate your dog. Vaccinations help protect your dog from a variety of serious and potentially deadly diseases. They also help reduce the spread of disease among dogs and from dogs to humans. Vaccinating your dog is one of the best things you can do to keep them healthy and happy and is an important part of responsible pet parenting. So here's a quick rundown of the most common vaccinations dogs need. All dogs should be vaccinated against rabies, and booster shots should be given every one to three years depending on state law. Parvovirus: Parvovirus is a deadly disease that can affect dogs of all ages, but puppies are especially vulnerable. The virus attacks the gastrointestinal system, causing severe vomiting and diarrhoea. Parvovirus can also cause heart problems and death. All dogs should be vaccinated against parvovirus, with booster shots given every one to two years. Distemper: Distemper is a highly contagious disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems of dogs. It can cause severe coughing, vomiting, diarrhoea, seizures, and death. Puppies are especially vulnerable to the disease. All dogs should be vaccinated against distemper, with booster shots given every one to two years. Leptospirosis: Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects the kidneys and liver of dogs. It can be transmitted through contact with contaminated water or soil. The disease can cause severe kidney damage and death. All dogs should be vaccinated against leptospirosis, with booster shots given every one to two years. Infectious Canine Hepatitis: Hepatitis is a viral disease that affects the liver of dogs. The symptoms can range from loss of appetite and thirst, fever and bleeding. It is usually spread through contact with contaminated or infected urine, saliva or faeces. Non-core Vaccines for Dogs: There are a few vaccines that are considered "non-core" for dogs, which means that they are not necessarily required for all dogs. However, your veterinarian may recommend them based on your dog's lifestyle and risk factors. Bordetella kennel cough is a bacteria that can cause respiratory infections in dogs. It is often spread through close contact with other dogs, so if your dog socialises with other dogs regularly, your veterinarian may recommend this vaccine. Canine ParaInfluenza is a virus that can cause respiratory illness in dogs. It is most commonly spread through close contact with other infected dogs. You might want to get this vaccine once you discuss it with your veterinarian. Lyme Vaccine is used to help prevent Lyme Disease, which is caused by a bacteria transmitted by ticks. If your dog spends time in areas where ticks are common such as woods or tall grass , your veterinarian may recommend this vaccine. Coronavirus: The canine coronavirus CCoV is a virus that can cause intestinal infections and abdominal discomfort in dogs. It is most commonly spread through close contact with other infected dogs, therefore, if your dog socialises with other dogs regularly, you can consider administering this vaccine once you discuss it with your veterinarian. They will need a booster shot every weeks of core vaccines until they are 16 weeks old. After that, they will need an annual booster shot. Our pets have increased risk of diseases as they are susceptible to various organisms in the environment directly or indirectly. Vaccinating your pet is much economical than treatment against diseases. The common diseases against which the pets can be vaccinated include — Rabies, Infectious Canine Hepatitis, Canine Distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis and kennel cough. However, this temporary maternal protection wanes by the age of 6—9 weeks. To continue and enhance this protection, vaccinations are available to protect the animal from contracting various highly contagious diseases. There is a large anti-vaccination theory that floats around human and animal vaccination protocols. However, keeping in mind the kind of diseases that are endemic to India or are largely prevalent, we need to compulsorily ensure that we do not just vaccinate our little pets on time but also remember to give their boosters on time. An important thing to remember is that different veterinary doctors can have different vaccination protocols. This protects the puppy from deadly life-threatening airborne viruses such as Parvo and Distemper. Around 8 weeks of age, a combined cluster of vaccines commonly known as 5-in-1, 7-in-1, 9-in-1 or in-1 is given with a Booster Shot after 21 days again. These protect your puppy from viruses such as Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Distemper, Leptospira, and some other deadly diseases, which can be fatal for your puppy. There is a base level protection against five diseases and in the rest of the vaccines, there is increased protection against more strains of Leptospira. This vaccine is a once in a lifetime vaccine that protects your pet sufficiently from Kennel Cough. Animals are often susceptible to the infection when their immunity is compromised due to some other reason. The kennel cough vaccine is often recommended before you can board your dog at a hostel or foster. For Pet Cats, there are 3 core vaccinations that are vaccinated together in one injection commonly known as Feligen or Tricat in India. This can be given to a kitten between 6 to 8 weeks of age followed by a booster at 16 weeks of age. Anti-Rabies Vaccination is also given to cats, following exactly the same protocol as dogs i. Now you know all the important Vaccinations your pet dog or cat should receive in the first year. So, what are the other important things to remember about Pet Vaccinations? Some vaccinations are required to be given boosters annually, and some are required once in three years. Be sure to ask your vet about when vaccine boosters are required and post reminders for yourself. I would recommend setting a reminder or an alarm on your phone since so many apps are equipped for this purpose. Insist that your Vet gives your pet a complete once over before administering any vaccination. Vaccines should not be administered if your pet is running a fever or in any poor health condition. Vaccines must be given to healthy animals only. Some pets do not mind injections and do not even realise they are being given a shot! However, some pets are sensitive and will yowl incessantly at the prick. If this happened the first time around, the next time, you can request your vet to use a thinner gauge needle or an insulin syringe needle. Distract your pet while he or she is getting a vaccine. Holding them firmly while being injected is extremely important. You can also speak to them, lift their front legs or tap them on the nose to distract them. You may observe that your pet is slightly dull the day after vaccination or is not eating well. If this persists for more than 24 hours, please visit your vet. If you feel a lump at the point of the injection, which is increasing over a month or larger than 2 cm or is simply present for more than 3 months, please make sure that your Vet is aware of this. Also, remember, that if you ever need to travel abroad with your Pet, timely vaccination along with their records is absolutely critical, so be meticulous about storing your Vaccination Certificates and records. When these pests are allowed to grow, there will be a host of health complications. The following is a suggested schedule for eradicating worms check with your veterniarian for clarifications and ways to identify a worm infestation - every fortnight for pups aged three months or younger, once a month for those between three and six months of age, once in two months for puppies between six and twelve months of age and after that point, every three months. Otherwise, vaccination has to be given as early as possible. The booster dose is given 3 weeks after the first dose after which it must be given annually. The first anti-rabies vaccination is given when the puppy is three months old and the booster dose must be given annually. Both de-worming and vaccination on a regular basis are essential to avoid serious health problems for your pet. Your veterinarian will give you a vaccination card that will contain dates and names of vaccines given.
