Much harder is presenting consequence, perseverance and results in consecutive generations. We have got 26 dogs of this breed and 11 dogs are in our breeding program. ANCAE established because of main reason to preserve existed bloodlines of alano in pure form. Work of Senor Nebot was milestones in modern alano espanol breeding because of establish concrete bloodline and zootechnical background.

They primarily served as working dogs, assisting their masters in warfare, imprisoning the slaves and later were even used in the bull fighting rings for bull baiting as well as hunting boars along with other large games. At the beginning of the 20th century, their numbers began declining because of the changing scenarios. In fact, there was a reduction in big game hunting, bullfighting became illegal while modernized techniques were improvised for guarding livestock. By , their numbers fell drastically leading them to the verge of extinction. However, in the s some dog enthusiasts, as well as veterinary students, conducted surveys that showed the existence of this breed in the Basque region of Spain, used for cattle herding and boar hunting. Hence, began the efforts of restoring this breed, with a breeding program initiated and breed standards documented. The Spanish Kennel Club granted it official recognition in .It was even recognized as a breed indigenous to Spain by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture. It is present in small numbers in Spain, but not acknowledged internationally. To promote it in the United States, examples of this dog have been sent to North America. Certain canines are regarded similar to this breed like the molossers belonging to the Canary Islands namely the Spanish Mastiff and Dogo Canario, as well as the Cimarron Uruguayo a South American breed. However, studies conducted at the University of Cordoba, identified the Alano Espanol to be distinct from other groups as far as their genetic inclination was concerned.

Because of its fighting and hunting instinct, it possesses a dominating nature which can, however, be stabilized under the guidance of a firm master.

Though not aggressive, they are wary and nervous at the sight of a stranger, going on to attack them even without any warning on sensing a threat or danger. Known for their high stamina and intense pain-bearing capacity, they fight to their might when the situation arises, and tolerate any injuries, hence emerging as perfect guard dogs. Because of this tendency, they should be kept confined in a fenced area that is securely locked when the owner is absent, to prevent any unpleasant occurrences. They may share a comfortable rapport with other dogs particularly those they are brought up with unless they are confronted or challenged by them. However, since they were great hunters, it is advisable to keep them away from smaller pets. These working dogs mostly love staying outdoors, fit for homes with a large yard or garden rather than apartments.

History Less - The name of the breed comes from the Iranian tribe of Alani, nomadic pastoralists who arrived in Spain as part of the Migration Period in the 5th Century. These peoples were known to keep large livestock guardian dogs and pursuit dogs which became the basis for the many regional Alaunt types. Dogs of this type traveled with Spanish explorers and were used as war dogs as was their role in Eurasia before migration in the subjugation of Indian Native American peoples, as well as in the capturing of slaves.

Your browser does not support the audio tag. It has a primitive appearance whose general physiology fits him especially well for running at high speeds for long periods of time and firmly holding wild game or cattle for a long time when ordered. With a well-proportioned body structure, the rib cage is arched, not cylindrical, the chest reaches elbow level, with strong and solid shoulders and withers. The front legs are stronger than the back ones, and are straight whether viewed from the front or from the side. The paws are generally much larger than those of other dogs of the same size and weight. The profile of the Alano's backbone outline is slightly ascending toward the back end or, at least, straight, but not descending. The muscles in the hindquarters are well developed and the back legs show very well defined angles ending in strong feet. The belly is retracted inwards, giving him a more athletic appearance than other heavier molosser breeds. The neck is strong, powerful and wide, showing two double chins that should never hang to low. His head is brachycephalic Bulldog type in shape, squared in appearance and with a serious expression. The nose is large, wide and black with open nostrils. The ears are usually cropped, slightly rounded at the tip. Uncropped ears are medium in size and carried folded over the face. The Alano has very powerful jaws. The teeth are wide, well separated from each other with a very strong and firm scissors bite or inverted scissors bite. An under-bite is allowed if it is 2 mm or less. When walking, the Alano has the stride of a sly panther, because of its habit of carrying his head low, slightly and slowly bouncing it from side to side making its strong shoulders more visible. Alanos are tireless molossers that can maintain a constant, graceful, agile trot for a long time. When galloping, they are fast and flexible, fully stretching in and out their whole body in each step, sorting obstacles with enormous agility, making it look as if they will never get tired even if they were required to maintain the gallop for miles. Coat colors include yellow and wolf gray, fawns and reds in either light or dark tones , with or without tigering brindling and or black mask. Black and tan—always with tigering on the tan markings which is described in the Spanish standard as "negro y atigrado" translating as black and tigered. White markings are allowed, but only on the snout, neck and chest, lower legs, belly and at the tip of the tail; the white should never predominate the body. This breed is very affectionate with the family and people it knows. It is also extremely patient and good with children. They are reliable, stable, very obedient and bark very little. However, the Alano will watch strangers with suspicion, attacking with little warning, only when the situation requires it. When holding wild animals with its jaws, regardless of the size, nature, or aggressiveness of the animal, the Alano totally ignores feelings like pain or fear and will not surrender until he is told to do so or until he achieves the orders given. The Alano will fight to the death to follow orders, fighting the wild boar or the bull until the end. They are a fearless, loyal, devoted, hard worker. Well-balanced and stable, self-confidant with a very high pain threshold. Powerful and protective, but not aggressive. Because this breed is bred to function in packs as a team, he is good and sociable around other dogs, enjoying a good romp, playing and just having fun. However, the Alano will not back down if challenged by them. They can climb trees with amazing cat-like agility and are capable of leaping to great heights from a stand-still position. The Alano can be difficult to housebreak , which makes this breed best as an outside dog. Male Alano puppies tend to chew and be more destructive than female Alano puppies. The objective in training this dog is to achieve a pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs , we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader; lines are clearly defined. You and all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. That is the only way your relationship can be a success. Height, Weight Height: Males 23 - 25 inches 58 - 63 cm Females 22 - 24 inches 55 - 60 cm Weight: Between 75 - 89 pounds 35 - 40 kg ; always showing harmony between size and weight. Health Problems This breed has never been a bred for looks. Instead it is an ancient rustic dog that has been used to work hard in the country under rough conditions for ages, where only the fittest would survive. The owner of Curro states, "When injured or ill, their recovering time is also outstanding. For example: At the age of 80 days Curro caught parvovirosis Parvo virus in Spanish. The veterinarian gave me no hope for Curro to live more than a week after detecting the virus. It only took him 5 days to cure himself. Living Conditions Best suited to live in a yard and sleep outside, the Alano can stand hot and cold temperatures, dryness and humidity with no problem. For example: during inland Spain winters, the temperature reaches from the low 30's to the high 20's below zero Celsius. In the north of Spain, the humidity is extremely high. In the central area the weather is dry with cold winters and very hot summers, whereas the south could be dry or humid depending on the province but with mild to hot temperatures. The Spanish Alano always sleeps outside and will adapt to all these climates with no problem. Exercise If they are not being used as working dogs, but are a family pet, you need to give them a lot of daily exercise. At least three walks daily , one of them a bit longer in an open space where they can run and play, ideally in the country. Life Expectancy.

The pugs were inside warming themselves by the wood stove after running around outside in the rain. Pugnella was in her workshop hammering on something, and there was a wonderful smell of a mincemeat pie cooking that permeated the house. Pugnacious was sitting in his easy chair, smoking his pipe. He had just finished looking through the Holiday edition of the Ellsworth American. Somehow the smell of wool mittens there were 12 of them for the three pups warming by the wood stove always acted as a soporific. Have you wondered how he does it - how Santa flies to all the houses in a single night? In fact it slows down so much that Christmas night lasts for two years as far as Santa is concerned! Nash looked at them and scratched his head. A great professor named Stephen Hawking has some theories on how this works, because Santa is moving faster than the speed of light, and that does funny things to how time passes. But all we know is that Santa manages to deliver all his presents every year in a single night. That means a long time for Santa before his first plate of cookies. What do you suppose Santa eats to keep his strength up as he journeys to that first house? A single piece is so nutritious it keeps Santa fed for a whole week, so he takes it with him to feed him on the first part of his journey until he gets to the first house with the first plate of cookies and milk. Santa and the elves had been loading toys all night. The sleigh was riding low on its runners from the weight, but otherwise it seemed like a routine Christmas Eve. Santa was dressed in his green velvet working suit and looked very fit and hearty as he checked the harnesses for the reindeer. None of the reindeer were hitched up to the sleigh yet, because they had two hours before leaving. Every now and then the sky would light up as one of the reindeer would snort flying dust out of his nostrils, and more flashes as they kicked more flying dust up with their hooves. The Aurora Borealis that makes the flying dust was especially bright this year and made the flying dust powerful! Santa loved this part of his journey as he anticipated making all the boys and girls happy with their presents. There was the long journey ahead of course, and while it seemed to take years for Santa, it would all be done in a single night. Santa liked not having to rush. This was one of the most important jobs at the North Pole, and Mrs. Flour, of course, and eggs, and ginger and reindeer milk. No baking soda for this gingerbread, though. Claus used only the lightest, brightest flying dust collected from the giant mirror basket on the top of the house for leavening. And for energy, she used a special windmill to collect cosmic rays from the exact center of magnetic north. This was very difficult as the position of magnetic North changed every year, so she had to send the elves out to locate where to put the windmill to collect and process the cosmic rays. They got caught up on the sails of the windmill, and were collected in a special glass barrel as cosmic candy where they waited to be mixed into the gingerbread every year. The light from the barrel was every color of the rainbow and was so brilliant that Mrs. Claus kept it in a special cupboard until it was ready to be mixed into the gingerbread. On this particular night Mrs. Claus was having some trouble with her gingerbread. First the flour was too coarse and she had to sift it again, then the eggs were too small and she had to send the elves out to get more eggs. They were all out of Ostrich and Christmas Goose eggs, but she was lucky that someone had brought her Penguin eggs all the way from the South Pole. She was whipping the batter with her special whisk and humming Oh Tannenbaum happily under her breath as she checked the clock and saw that she was just going to make her deadline without a minute to spare. As she whirled around the kitchen her apron strings fluttered like streamers caught in a hurricane. A very handsome pug dog named Spunk was sitting out of the way next to the fireplace. Spunk was Mrs. Spunk was a handsome jet black dog with beautiful brown eyes - the only white was on the tip of his curly tail. Spunk always sat next to the fireplace because it offered the best view of the entire kitchen. He had been Mrs. Claus except perhaps for her special gingerbread recipe. Claus had a very special oven in the stone fireplace that Santa Claus had built centuries before. The oven had a big iron door adorned with a Christmas Tree design that had some very old magic in it - as the oven heated, the ornaments on the Christmas tree would change from dull grey iron to bright colors - blue for warm, green for medium, red for hot, and bright red for very hot. There were even some colors for in-between temperatures. It was very clever blacksmithing to create such a magical oven door, and it was also fun to look at. Right now Spunk was eyeing the oven and all was on schedule. The green indicated that the oven was almost ready. Claus was bustling around the kitchen and was at a critical point - adding the flying dust and cosmic candy to the batter. As she tipped the flying dust into the cosmic candy her hand slipped. The mixing jar fell on the floor, spilling some of the precious dust onto the tiles. She looked up to check the clock - it was late but she still had just enough time to finish! The batter glowed and glittered with power as she turned it into the giant gingerbread pan. Spunk jumped out of the way as Mrs. Claus opened up the oven door and put the pan in. Claus was sweeping up the glass and flying dust into the dustbin. Spunk barked and ran over to her to tell her that the oven needed to be turned down, but she closed the door before he got to her. Spunk was alone in the kitchen and the gingerbread was going to burn! Maybe even too weak to slide down the chimney! This was a terrible crisis! Spunk ran round and round the kitchen - he glanced at the oven - the ornaments blinked red and were starting to glow brighter. If they turned to purple all the gingerbread would be ruined. If they turned white, the whole kitchen would explode! Spunk had heard the elf repairing the oven say that when the oven got to white it was hotter than the sun in July! The controls for the oven were way up high on the fireplace chimney, far to high a reach for Spunk. The ornaments were starting to glow bright red and move to orange! Spunk raced over to the worktable and a tiny flash of light caught his eye. It was the cosmic candy and flying dust that Mrs. Claus had spilled. Suddenly Spunk knew what he had to do. He ran over to the spot and licked the tile. Mrs Claus had said it was dangerous, but it was the only way to save the gingerbread and to save Christmas. Even though it was only a few specks, Spunk hoped it would be enough to somehow help. Suddenly Spunk sat back on the floor and shot across the floor, trailing sparks and rainbows as he slid! He hit the wall next to the fireplace and stars shot across his vision. Suddenly he was flying! He looked at the clock on the wall - the pendulum was stopped - the fire on the logs was at a standstill, and even the dust motes in the air were motionless! He was in the Santa Claus time flow! Now he had all the time in the world, and he could fly! The colors on the indicators went back from almost orange to a brownish red, just right for cooking gingerbread. The gingerbread was saved and Santa would have enough food to last until the first plate of cookies! Christmas was saved! Spunk looked around the kitchen as he floated back to the floor, wondering how long the effect of the flying dust would last. The clock was hardly moving. It was only a little flying dust and cosmic candy, but Spunk was a lot smaller than Santa Claus. Claus was all out of ingredients. Spunk settled down feeling hungry. Spunk settled down for a nap, hoping that when he woke time would be sped up again. He looked in the trash can and found the broken bits of glass and some more of the flying dust. There was nothing to eat! He looked in the cupboards and found nothing. He took a deep breath and exhaled, and slowly floated up to the highest cupboards in the kitchen, opening one after another. Nothing to eat, not even a crumb. Spunk told himself that he just would need to be patient and either the cosmic candy would wear off or the 30 minutes would pass. Either way eventually Mrs. Claus would come back and all would be well. After the second week, Spunk was hungry and thirsty, but he noticed that the clock hands had started to move more normally. The third week passed and Spunk was so weak that he had a hard time getting up to check the clock to see if it had moved. Now it was showing twenty minutes had passed. Only ten minutes to go in normal time before the gingerbread was cooked and Mrs. Claus came back to the kitchen! He was skin and bones and his mouth was parched. Claus rushed into the kitchen. Much to her great surprise, everything was fine - the gingerbread was perfect, the multicolored steam rising with sparkles and stars as she removed the pan from the oven. She scratched her head with one of her knitting needles as she tried to figure out how the gingerbread was saved. As she set the pan on the table she heard a faint cough by the fireplace. Over in the basket there was a tiny black form, not much bigger than a Christmas cupcake. Claus in wonderment. He tried to get up but was too weak. When I left the kitchen 20 minutes ago you were happy, healthy and chubby. Sparky leaned down to look at Spunk. He sniffed Spunk and felt his hind toe. Then he jingled his elf had bell to see if Spunk could hear it. Have you fed him any? Then she looked at the oven. She looked at Spunk. Suddenly she knew. You saved the day! Did you fly? Spunk weakly wagged his tail. Claus wiped a tear from her eye. In fact, once he was better, Mrs. Claus made him her first assistant in the kitchen. Now you know why Santa has gingerbread to get started on Christmas Eve, but you also know why he needs your cookies and milk as he goes from house to house. Carrying toys and lugging them down the chimney is hard work! The puppies squealed with delight and ran into the kitchen to decide what kind of cookies they would make for Santa. Pugnacious grunted with satisfaction that the puppies were entertained for a while, re-lit his pipe and settled back in his chair to enjoy the latest Weekly Packet newspaper from Blue Hill.

Adoption Process Mini Goldendoodle Goldendoodles are mixes between Golden Retrievers and Poodles that are very affectionate, playful, and all around a very friendly dog. They are known to be a great breed for novice owners, but loved by experienced pet owners as well, as they are fairly easy to groom and get along well with children and other dogs. Highly intelligent, they are usually easy to train and have a high energy level that requires regular exercise. They are typically larger dogs that do not adapt well to apartment style living but would instead prefer to have a larger area to play, indoors or outdoors. This breed does not shed much which can make them great dogs for owners with allergies, but this requires them to be groomed regularly. Goldendoodles have a high sensitivity level but are generally friendly around strangers. They are gentle dogs that are highly social and not great as guard dogs or watch dogs but have done well in roles such as therapy dogs or other service dogs. These dogs do best when they are around the people they love and should not be kept outside or in an outdoor kennel; they will experience separation anxiety when kept away from their owners for long periods of time. When left for a while, they do best to be kept in a kennel temporarily, and their destructive behaviors can be avoided by providing them with toys to chew on and by having a radio playing in the background. Miniature Goldendoodles are usually a mix between Miniature or Toy Poodles crossed with a Golden Retriever, which usually results in a dog that is 13 to 20 inches tall and weighs on average 15 to 35 pounds. These sizes, however, can vary greatly depending on the size of the parents for each puppy. They are generally healthy dogs but, like all breeds, can be prone to certain conditions. This breed has a desire to please and are known for developing affectionate bonds with their owners which makes them an excellent breed for owners excited to play with them. This information is only a generalization and we make no guarantees on any breed related to personality, appearance, or typical health characteristics. Life Span Did You Know?

Because this dog breed is loyal and people-oriented, they love to be in your company and do not like being left alone for long periods of time. This means they can be prone to developing separation anxiety if you do not work with them on it early on. Instead, make sure your new Mini Goldendoodle puppy has an active role in your life. If you do need to leave them alone for a bit, make sure they have some comforting toys or challenging puzzles to keep them from getting bored.

Daily brushing is recommended to remove tangles and prevent mats. Bathing is occasional and can often be relegated to the dog groomer that is recommended you visit every weeks. The groomer can help handle some of this during visits, but you will still need to do some maintenance at home between visits. Nail trims once or twice monthly keep nails from growing too long. Weekly ear checks with careful cleanings as needed help prevent ear infections. Daily brushing, plus cleanings at the vet as needed, is good dental care for dogs and can help prevent painful dental diseases later in life. Although the parents of this breed have a lot of energy, a Mini Goldendoodle tends to sit in a more moderate activity range. Daily walks plus some playtime and time to run are usually enough for them. But, they are also likely to match their energy level to yours, so be prepared for some bursts of energy as well as plenty of cuddling on the couch.

Mini Goldendoodles generally live for years on average. Featured Mini Goldendoodle Article. Life Span Did You Know? The Goldendoodle originated in the s in North America and Australia, although it was first bred in .The idea was to create a breed with the great temperament of the family-friendly Golden Retriever along with the intelligence of the Poodle. The presence of the Poodle makes a highly trainable canine, and the Golden Retriever always aims to please.

Because of the high trainability of the Goldendoodle, it is not uncommon to see a first-time dog parent choose this breed. That means that grooming the Goldendoodle is not a difficult or time-consuming task. Give the coat a brush each day, clip the nails once a month, and brush their teeth once a week. Bathe the Goldendoodle when needed, but be careful not to over bathe this breed.

The temperament of the Mini Aussiedoodle relies on two things: The temperament of the parent breeds The training you provide to your Mini Aussiedoodle puppy Like any dog, the training and socialization they receive while growing up will largely determine their behavior as an adult.

Highly intelligent dogs can suffer from anxiety. Mini Aussiedoodles are no exception.

Still, they have only recently come into trend over the last two decades. What Is A Designer Dog? This can include cross-breeding two breeds or even breeding a purebred dog with another purebred dog that has similar characteristics but is not quite the same as its parent breed for example, the Australian Shepherd crossed with the Miniature Poodle. There are pros and cons that come with owning designer dogs. The pros of owning a designer dog are obvious. We love the variety of looks and personalities that come with designer dogs. Designer dogs are also great because they can be hypoallergenic which is perfect for those who suffer from allergies or other skin sensitivities. Designer dogs also have the added benefit of hybrid vigor. But what exactly is hybrid vigor, and is it fact or simply theory? Hybrid vigor also called heterosis is the idea that crossbreed dogs may be healthier than purebred dogs thanks to their widened genepool. The theory suggests that as you combine genetic material from two different sources, you will get offspring that are more resistant to disease and could even have better immune systems. However, hybrid vigor is a widely controversial theory , and there are many who point out that genetics are genetics and therefore it is impossible to predict whether a hybrid puppy will indeed be healthier. We should also take into consideration predictability when it comes to hybrid dogs. Crossbreed dogs could be more like one parent breed over the other, and may even inherit certain genetic health issues or temperamental traits of one breed over the other. Or, this dog could be a perfect mix between his two parents, which is often what people are hoping for. But as none of this is guaranteed, the breeding and selling of early generation crossbreed dogs has certainly stirred the pot in the canine kingdom. Should any of this stop you from investing in a Mini Aussiedoodle? Of course not! The Miniature Poodle was first bred in Germany in the s, although it has been suggested that they may have originated as far back as Roman times. However, they did not become popular until they were brought to France by Catherine de Medici after being introduced to her by her Italian husband. The Miniature Poodle became a favorite of the French aristocracy and was often used as a lapdog by royalty, and was even beloved by Queen Victoria herself! Miniature Poodles are a size variety of the Standard Poodle, and as such they are active, intelligent, athletic, and friendly. The Australian Shepherd is descended from sheepdogs imported from Australia around who were bred with other types of dogs for different tasks such as herding cattle or sheep, protecting livestock from predators like wolves or coyotes and rounding up stray animals. Though he is called the Australian Shepherd , this purebred is actually considered an American bred dog. They are highly intelligent and energetic, and are happiest when they have a job to do. Mini Aussiedoodle dogs are famous for their intelligence, which makes them easy to train. They love to learn new things and will follow commands with precision. You can start by using treats or verbal praise as rewards when he does something right or performs an action correctly on cue. Once he has mastered these basics, move on to more advanced commands such as walking on a leash or coming when called by name. Mini Aussiedoodle dogs can outsmart their owners, however, and they can even be prone to stubbornness if training is not kept fun and game-like. Stay on top of training and begin as early as you can with this clever canine to ensure he grows up happy and well-rounded. Training a mini Aussiedoodle requires patience and consistency, as well as games that keep them focused and motivated. Avoid aversive training methods like scolding or force, and instead use positive reinforcement like treats, praise, patience, and consistency. The Mini Aussiedoodle comes from two athletic and work-oriented parent breeds. As such, this is a dog that is going to require consistent and routine exercise each and every day. This exercise can come in the form of long walks, jogs, runs, swimming, or hikes, meaning he will make a wonderiful companion for the versatile and adventurous dog owner. With that being said, the ideal owner for this mixed breed will be a person or family who lives in an area where they can take their dog outdoors on a regular basis. And although the Mini Aussiedoodle is not eligible for show by most major breed clubs due to the fact that he is a crossbreed, you might still consider getting him involved in agility classes or other sports that will keep him active and engaged. Remember, without the proper exercise each and every day, the Mini Aussiedoodle could be prone to stress, anxiety, depression, and destructive behaviors. And this brings us to number four. Like all dogs, the Mini Aussiedoodle could be prone to behavioral problems if his needs are not met. This is especially true if your Mini Aussiedoodle is left to become bored during the day. Mental stimulation is incredibly important for this crossbreed, as it can help reduce anxiety that can reduce a number of health issues and problematic behaviors down the road. The best way to keep your Mini Aussiedoodle entertained and stimulated is by giving him plenty of engaging toys and by keeping him on a regular exercise schedule. The Mini Aussiedoodle needs daily outdoor time so he can run around and get his exercise fix. You might also consider investing in puzzle toys for intelligent dogs. These toys keep your Mini Aussiedoodle occupied by helping him think about how to solve the puzzle. The Mini Aussiedoodle could potentially have a hypoallergenic coat if he inherits this trait from his purebred Poodle parent. However, keep in mind this is not guaranteed. If you are looking to find yourself a hypoallergenic Mini Aussiedoodle, your best bet will be to go through breeders who offer later-generation crossbreed puppies. You also have the option of adopting a dog over the age of one whose coat is already established. How often do you need to groom a Mini Aussiedoodle? This can be a difficult question because the coat type of your Mini Aussiedoodle can vary based on his genetics and the generation of crossbreed he is. It is important to know that different grooming methods will work for different types of dogs. For example, if you want to groom your dog at home, you will need the right tools and products to do so. Regardless, there are several basic steps you should take when it comes to grooming your Mini Aussiedoodle, which we have listed below. Brushing: Brushing your Mini Aussiedoodle regularly will help keep his fur clean and healthy. You should brush him at least once a week. If your dog has longer hair like his Aussie parent breed or a curly coat like his Poodle parent, brushing may need to be done more frequently. Trimming: Both the Australian Shepherd and the Poodle are known for having coats that can grow out. To make grooming easier and reduce the chances of your Mini Aussiedoodle developing tangled mats, we suggest keeping your Mini Aussiedoodle in a puppy cut. Bathing: Bathing your Mini Aussiedoodle is another important grooming task. Dogs need regular baths to stay clean and smelling fresh. Dog nails that are left to become too long are prone to cracking, splitting, and breaking, which is painful and can lead to infection and other issues. Ear Care: Ear care is important because ear infections are common in Mini Aussiedoodles due to dirt and wax buildup inside the ear canal. Dental Care: Dental problems are common in older dogs but they can also affect younger dogs if they are not taken care of properly. Furthermore, smaller dogs like the Mini Aussiedoodle are often more prone to dental disease than their larger counterparts. The standard-size Aussiedoodle may not be the ideal apartment dog, but the Mini Aussiedoodle does have the potential to adapt well to smaller living environments due to his smaller size. Of course, it is still very important that this clever and athletic dog has his needs met each day. A Mini Aussiedoodle can make a good apartment dog if he gets enough exercise in the mornings and afternoons. He will also need plenty of attention and mental stimulation from his owners or a caregiver throughout the day. As long as his exercise needs are met, he should be able to live happily in an apartment environment without any problems whatsoever. The Mini Aussiedoodle can do excellent with children and other pets when he is well trained and socialized at an early age. The Mini Aussiedoodle loves to play with children and will also protect them if needed. He is also very protective over his family and will bark to let everyone know if he senses danger or if someone is approaching the home. Although the Mini Aussiedoodle does very well with other dogs and even cats in the home, he could have a high prey drive. This means he may not be the best addition to a home with many other, smaller pets like rodents, birds, or reptiles. Mini Aussiedoodles May Have Some Herding Or Hunting Instincts This is a dog that should be walked on a leash and harness to ensure he does not chase smaller prey into busy streets. Like their parent breeds, Mini Aussiedoodles may chase smaller animals like squirrels or rabbits when outside. They may also have herding instincts , which means they could try to herd people, especially very small children. Luckily, consistent training can help alleviate these behaviors, as can working with youngsters on how to respectfully behave around their furry family member. Even then, he may not be able to help going after smaller animals like squirrels or rabbits when outside, so be sure you always walk your Mini Aussiedoodle on a leash and harness to keep him safe. They do not do well left alone for long periods of time without proper exercise beforehand, as they can develop behavioral problems like destruction when bored or lonely. Remember, the Mini Aussiedoodle is extremely intelligent and social , making him excellent candidates for doggy daycare. If you do have a busy schedule, you might consider this or even consider hiring a trusted dog walker or pet sitter to stop by your house to provide your dog with time and attention throughout the day so he does not become stressed or bored. Although your Mini Aussiedoodle could have the advantage of hybrid vigor, he could also be susceptible to inheriting any of the same genetic health issues as his purebred parent breeds. With a lifespan of between 12 and 15 years, the Mini Aussiedoodle is most prone to suffering from conditions like: Cataracts. Lifespan Sociability If you ever lay your eyes on a Miniature Aussiedoodle litter in person, you may find it impossible to avoid coming home with at least one puppy. As adorable as they are, though, owning one has its fair share of challenges. As mentioned above, these dogs have energy levels that rival their intelligence—and their IQs are off the charts. This mix, a combination of the Labrador and Poodle, was incredibly intelligent, loyal, and best of all, hypoallergenic. It made dog ownership possible for thousands of people who had previously been too allergic to own a pet. Among them was the Aussiedoodle, and after that, it was just a matter of time before the Miniature Aussiedoodle came along. Miniature Aussiedoodles kept both those traits, but those are far from their only redeeming qualities. As you might expect from a herding breed, Australian Shepherds have boundless energy, which they passed on to their little designer cousins. Their herding background allows them to get along well with other animals, including dogs. This means that every Miniature Aussiedoodle puppy is a mystery. It may take strongly after one or the other parent breed, or it may demonstrate an equal mix between the two. They tend to be very loving and affectionate to people of all ages, as well as other animals although they may have a tendency to herd anything they come in contact with, which goes over great with cats. While that friendly demeanor makes them great pets, it limits their utility as guard dogs. Also, while other dogs love to be around people, these dogs need to be around people. Are These Dogs Good for Families? In fact, you might need a family to own one of these dogs, as their energy levels and need for companionship could be overwhelming for just a single person. Image Credit: ariesa66, Pixabay Things to Know When Owning a Miniature Aussiedoodle: Owning a Miniature Aussiedoodle is a sizable investment of both time and money, so there are a few things you should know about these dogs before you take the plunge. You need to give them plenty of exercise more on that in a second and feed them a healthy, balanced diet if you want your dog to live a long, happy life. We recommend feeding them a high-protein kibble in portions that are appropriate for their size. This can come in the form of a couple of long walks, some spirited games of fetch, or agility training. Notice we said that an hour is a minimum. For example, you can work in a training session after an extended walk, or give your pooch a treat puzzle after playing fetch. Even better, given their stamina and intelligence, your Miniature Aussiedoodle should take to it like a fish to water. Your dog is sure to love Puzzle Dog Toys Also, try to resist the urge to let your dog off-leash in public areas unless you have him incredibly well-trained. These pups have a tendency to wander, and if you let them loose, you may never see them again. You should socialize your puppy as soon as you bring him home, and continue to do so for the rest of his life. Also, formal training classes are a good idea, but you should supplement them with at-home training every chance you get. Many dogs are non-shedding, but some individuals can lose a little bit of hair. One area you will have to pay attention to is their ears. Check them regularly for dirt and grime, and clean them as needed. Minor Conditions. Both of these parents dog breeds are considered affectionate, loyal, and extremely intelligent.

History The Mini Aussiedoodle is a designer dog breed developed in the United States during the designer breed craze of the s and s. Various breeders wanted to create a canine breed that combined the high intelligence, obedience, and companionship traits of the Mini Australian Shepherd and Mini Poodle breeds. The result of these pairings led to one of the most intelligent designer breeds that exist today. After existing almost 50 years, one of the best family dog breeds for children is the Miniature Aussiedoodle! Size Living up to its name, the Mini Aussiedoodle is small in size, regardless of gender. Both male and female Mini Aussiedoodles can grow 12 to 18 inches tall and weigh 15 to 25 pounds. We mean it. A Mini Aussiedoodle must get at least 40 to 60 minutes of daily exercise to run, play, and even work in order to put their energy levels to proper use. When trying to entertain this breed, a short walk will not suffice. Mini Aussiedoodles need walks, jogs, dog park adventures, and stimulating games like fetch or scavenger hunts to make them happy. A great benefit to this energetic characteristic is that training a Mini Aussiedoodle can involve tons of running, fetching, and working commands for farmers and anyone who wants their fur baby to pull his weight in the family! This means that you can also indulge your furry cutie in agility or obedience training exercises, especially after your Mini Aussie pup turns a year old.

Their intelligence and eager-to-please attitude ensures that they will be super trainable. If left alone, Mini Aussie pups can develop destructive behaviors that can damage your home. Therefore, you need to have someone inside the house at all times with your Mini Aussiedoodle, preferably a family member who can play with them. Grooming The Miniature Aussiedoodle is a low-maintenance pooch. This helps prevent ear and dental infections that can be detrimental to their health. Training The Miniature Aussiedoodle is intelligent and loyal. Without sufficient training, a Mini Aussiedoodle can exhibit bad behaviors as adults. Miniature Aussiedoodles are the perfect dogs for all types of households ready to give them the love, care, and training they need. Smart and active, Mini Aussiedoodles are the ideal companion for you and your family members as long as you have the time, energy, and patience to meet their needs. Beagles may have been bred to hunt in packs at the behest of their English gentleman owners a few hundred years ago, but today this small-sized purebred has become a hardy companion dog. Willful dog breeds are difficult to train unless the owner dedicates a lot of time, patience, and consistency with dog training. We at Petland Florida have been obsessed with this athletic, impressive, and highly intelligent breed for a while. Up to 10 in. Aussiedoodles could inherit either a curly and tight coat like the Poodle or a soft and wavy coat like the Aussie Shepherd. Dogs that inherit a coat like the Aussie Shepherd will need a lot of daily grooming and maintenance. Their coat also traps odours which is why you need to bathe them frequently. The colours seen in the breed are black, brown, white, cream, apricot, silver, beige, merle, chocolate, tri-colour, red, blue, cafe au lait, and combinations thereof. Do Aussiedoodles shed? Aussiedoodles shed but they shed very little compared to average dogs. It all depends on canine genetics. Generally speaking, F1b poodle mix crosses are less likely to shed than the first generation cross. Are Aussiedoodles hypoallergenic? Dogs produce allergens in multiple forms. Aussiedoodle Temperament and Personality What temperament is the Aussiedoodle? Are Aussiedoodles hyper? Aussiedoodles make excellent pets because of their happy and cheerful temperament. These deeply affectionate dogs love kids and make excellent companions for them. Before you go on to purchase or adopt an Aussiedoodle, please note that this is a high-energy dog with an exuberant nature. This means it could get hyper-excited around young ones. Your dog means no harm -it simply cannot control itself. Because of their high energy, they can be overwhelming for some owners — especially people with limited mobility or even for families with young kids. Their high excitability and energy mean that they often accidentally drop or break things. So, you might want to puppy-proof your house and also supervise all interactions between your dog and young kids. Obedience training combined with tons of physical activity can go a long way in helping your Aussiedoodle tone down its natural exuberance. Are Aussiedoodles hard to train? The smarter the dog, the more responsive it is to training. Since the Aussiedoodle is very smart, it is also highly trainable. Most Aussies are known to respond well to positive reinforcement training reward, praise, etc. It is important to be very consistent with the training. Keep the sessions short and end each session with plenty of playtime and fun. This will help you see results faster. Can Aussiedoodles be left alone? Aussies love their humans and usually hate being left alone for prolonged periods. Some Aussiedoodles are also known to suffer from separation anxiety accompanied by symptoms like crying, excess barking, whining, chewing furniture, digging, urinating indoors, etc. You need to train your dog to stay alone right since it is a puppy. As such, no dog should be left alone for more than hours daily. If needed, hire a pet sitter to watch your pet or, if possible, get a companion dog to give it company. Do Aussiedoodles like to cuddle? Aussies love napping as much as they love to exercise. But your pet still needs exercise and without it, it could become destructive, bored, and even depressed. Who should get an Aussiedoodle? The ideal owner for an Aussiepoo is someone who can devote time to this fairly high-maintenance dog breed. Also, Aussiedoodles require quite a bit of grooming including regular trips to a professional groomer. Since they are gifted with high intelligence, they need an owner who is willing to train using positive reinforcement, not punishment and also provide them with adequate mental stimulation. How Much Does an Aussiedoodle Cost? When searching for an Aussiedoodle puppy on sale, you must search for a reputable breeder. The best breeders spend a lot of time and money on finding the best dogs for their breeding programs. They conduct various health checks and only breed dogs that are cleared for eye problems and joint issues. This price can vary from breeder to breeder based on the location, size of the dog, and other factors like bloodline, coat type, level of shedding, colours, etc. Unfortunately, due to their popularity, Aussiedoodles are popular dogs for puppy mills and backyard breeders. The puppies are often kept in horrific conditions and they end up with health issues and temperament problems. So, make sure you research your breeder and find a responsible one who raises the puppies at home. What to Feed Your Aussiedoodle? In the first few days after your Aussiepoo puppy comes home from the breeder, feed it the same food the breeder was feeding it. Puppies have sensitive digestion and you do not want to overwhelm them with drastic food changes. Later on, your vet or breeder can guide you into selecting the right diet as your Aussie grows. If you plan to transition to a new food, make sure to do it slowly by mixing the old food with new food. If the parents of your Aussiedoodle are healthy, your pet should not have any health concerns. However, the breed is known to be sensitive to certain medications just like its Australian Shepherd parent and it is recommended to get MDR1 genetic testing. In addition to drug sensitivity, Aussiepoos are known to suffer from the following health problems: Hip and elbow dysplasia — in this condition, the affected joint gets worn out causing pain and lameness in the affected dog. Colobomas — Iris coloboma is characterized by the lack of iris development in the puppy. Thyroid issues — These could include hyper or hypothyroidism. The affected dog might show symptoms like unexplained weight gain, mental dullness, cold intolerance, dull coat, and dark pigmentation on the skin. With proper care and a healthy diet, most Aussiedoodles live for an average of years. Subscribe for doodle breed information and exclusive offers on the best products for your pup!

We can gain better insight into the traits and personality of the Miniature American Shepherd-Poodle mix. It is believed that the breed originated in California sometime in the s. This fact alone makes the breed unique since many recognized dog breeds, such as the Poodle, have a history that spans over a couple of hundred years. If you compare the Miniature American Shepherd side by side with the Australian Shepherd, you will notice they look nearly identical. The breed gained popularity due to its small size. Like other miniature dog breeds, people are drawn to owning a dog that is easier to travel with, maintain, and care for. Despite its small size, the MAS is a workhorse. It is a versatile working dog that is well-suited for various tasks, including herding, obedience, agility, and search and rescue. It is an active and energetic breed that requires regular exercise and mental stimulation. Like the Australian Shepherd, the Miniature American Shepherd is known for its strong work ethic, intelligence, and trainability. Eager to learn, smart enough to get it after a couple of tries, and they NEED to have a job…like learning tricks, or herding something. Over time, the breed gained independence and was recognized by the American Kennel Club in .Several other kennel clubs and breed registries around the world also recognize it. It helped the dogs keep warm while retrieving game in the chilly waters of Germany. The Poodle is often mistaken for a French-natives. Once the breed began to spread across Europe, French nobles took a particular liking to the breed. They are athletic, cute, and very intelligent. How could they not fall in love? France eventually adopted the Poodle as their national dog. Poodles come in three different sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy. Miniature Miniature Poodles were bred by selectively breeding Standard Poodles to create smaller versions of the breed. Even though Mini Poodles are slightly smaller than Standard Poodles, they have the same general characteristics and temperament as the larger breed. Toy The Toy Poodle was bred down even further from the Mini. Toy Poodles were the perfect solution for those that lived in a city. The dog is small enough to live comfortably in smaller apartments and can travel with its owner easily. Below is a rating of each major behavioral category for the mixed breed. This is due to both parent breeds having many possible coat colors. The mix can have the following coat colors: Black. The Mini Aussiedoodle, also sometimes referred to as a Miniature Aussiepoo, is a smaller version of the larger Aussiedoodle. It is a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Miniature Poodle. Their smaller size and sweet disposition make them great companions as well as therapy dogs and emotional support dogs. Miniature Aussiedoodles are friendly, affectionate, devoted to their owners, and highly intelligent. They are lovable balls of fluff with a lot of energy that get along with children, other animals, and other people. Their friendly nature and openness do not generally make them good guard dogs. But, they can be good watchdogs in the sense that they will let you know when someone is around. They may inherit the herding instinct from the Australian Shepherd side. That, paired with their playful nature, could culminate in your Miniature Aussiedoodle attempting to herd family members to keep them in the same place. Training early on can curb any herding tendencies that start to show. Mini Aussiedoodles adapt well to any living situation, but can be more sensitive to weather. Due to their smaller size, they are less able to handle very hot or very cold weather. That is something to keep in mind when you take them outside during the summer or winter. In the winter, keep their coat groomed at a normal or a little longer length and bundle them up with some winter dog gear to help them handle the cold better. They do tend to do best in a home with a yard where they can run around. But, with proper exercise and plenty of attention, these dogs can adapt to apartment living as well. They crave attention from their families, so do not like to be alone for long periods of time. This mixed dog breed can sometimes develop separation anxiety. Oftentimes, a good workout before you leave plus some challenging puzzle toys can help them handle alone time a little bit better. There are health issues to be aware of with any dog breed and mixed breeds are no different. Sometimes the genetic variation in the mixed dog breed can result in some immunity and sometimes the mixed breed is still susceptible to the health conditions common in both parent breeds. Mini Aussiedoodles are generally very healthy dogs, but some health conditions to be aware of are deafness, allergies, epilepsy , hypothyroidism, and hip dysplasia. The genetic history of the parents and the results of any health tests can help you determine what to expect and allay any potential health concerns. Between their intelligence and their higher energy level, Miniature Aussiedoodles are highly trainable, but they can also be a handful. Dog owners with some experience with high energy breeds tend to be a better fit for this mixed dog breed. Novice owners can have success as long as they live an active lifestyle, are capable of handling a high-energy dog, and are willing to enroll in obedience classes to help them nail positive training techniques. Mini Aussiedoodles love having a job to do and are eager to please. This mixed dog breed will pick up on things easily, but will also tend to get bored. Ensuring they have a job to do goes a long way in keeping this energetic pup occupied. They also tend to be athletic, so can be good candidates for dog sports like rally, obedience, flyball, and agility. Because of the mix between the Australian Shepherd and the Miniature Poodle , coat colors and patterns will vary with the Miniature Aussiedoodle. The texture will be soft and will likely be low-shedding with some hypoallergenic properties. However, their coat is not low maintenance. It can be long and straight, curly, or anything between. You will want to brush your Mini Aussiedoodle a few times a week to keep their fur free of tangles and to prevent matting. You will also want to get them professionally groomed every months. Their ears will need to be checked regularly to ensure they are clean and dry and their nails will need to be trimmed once or twice monthly. Daily tooth brushing is ideal to prevent tartar buildup. Getting your puppy used to having their paws and ears handled and introducing them to having their teeth brushed early on will make grooming and care much easier as they grow. This is a moderate to high energy mixed dog breed that needs plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation to remain happy and healthy. Walks a few times a day and active playtime every day should be sufficient. This pup requires an active lifestyle, so engaging in more rigorous activities like swimming, hiking, dog sports, or taking trips to the dog park are also a good idea. Ongoing training and ensuring your Mini Aussiedoodle always has a job to do will keep your pup happy and generally well-behaved. If left without a job or proper exercise, they will often find ways to entertain themselves, which can result in destructive behavior. Miniature Aussiedoodles usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds. With mixed breeds, looking at the size of the parents can give you a good idea of what to expect as your puppy grows. The Mini Aussiedoodle generally lives for years. Featured Miniature Aussiedoodle Article.

Cockapoo Puppies Health Considerations Though generally very healthy and long-lived — with an average lifespan of around 13 years — our Cockapoos for sale are not without their unique health concerns. Like every breed of dog, there are a few conditions you should be aware of before you consider purchasing one of our Cockapoo puppies for sale. Understanding the risks allows you to know the signs and prevent small health concerns from turning into big ones. Cockapoo puppies are at somewhat elevated risk for developing the following conditions: Vision and Hearing Issues: Cockapoos may suffer from hearing loss in later life due to mass or polyps forming in the ear, causing infections and deafness. Vision problems may be attributed to cataracts, glaucoma and a range of other issues. Common in smaller dogs, this condition may create mobility issues for your dog, but can be treated with physical therapy.

Details Anyone with a cockapoo knows they make great pets. Their ability to get along with anyone, from young children to fellow puppies, makes them perfect for any family. Each one of our cockapoos undergoes extensive training, which helps them assimilate well into different environments. This blog offers extensive information about these designer dogs to help you determine whether a cockapoo is the right choice for your home. Some cockapoos have long curly coats and dark hair, while others are bright white with straight fur. Most cockapoos come from American or English cocker spaniels and miniature poodles and thus tend to be on the small side when it comes to size. The typical miniature cockapoo is less than 15 inches in length and weighs approximately 15 pounds. Even smaller cockapoos can be bred using toy poodles. These dogs, known as teacup cockapoos, are generally less than 10 inches in height and weigh less than six pounds. On the opposite end of the spectrum are maxi cockapoos, which are taller than 16 inches and can weigh anywhere between 20 and 65 pounds. While the cockapoo breed is highly adaptable to different environments, smaller apartments are generally more suited to the miniature or teacup variations. Cockapoos from a reputable breeder are usually hypoallergenic and undergo minimal shedding, making them the perfect pets for anyone susceptible to allergies. However, these dogs also require frequent grooming to prevent their fur from matting, as well as baths to keep them clean. However, with the proper training, cockapoos can be taught to enjoy tasks like grooming, bathing and trimming. Health Problems Most cockapoos have a lifespan of about 15 years, which is standard for a small dog. However, as a crossbreed, cockapoos are more susceptible to the health issues found in their purebred parents. Proper grooming and regular veterinarian checkups can also help guarantee the health of your puppy and extend its lifespan. Personality Traits Although cockapoos vary when it comes to appearance, they all share some key personality traits. No matter what size your cockapoo pup is, you can expect it to be friendly, affectionate and obedient. Bred to be companion dogs, these designer breeds can get along with just about anyone, including strangers, young children and other dogs. They fit well into families of all shapes and sizes and love nothing more than spending time with their owners. Most cockapoos have moderate energy levels and need about 15 minutes of exercise per day. Their needs can be satisfied with a walk around the block or a game of fetch in the yard, which makes them easy to care for. Another trait commonly found in cockapoos is intelligence. Cockapoos tend to have high brainpower and benefit from mental stimulation, which can come in the form of chew toys or scavenger hunts. For the best results, training should be implemented at an early age. Our training includes: Housebreaking. Life Span Did You Know? The Cockapoo is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Miniature Poodle, a Cockapoo and either of the original parent breeds, or two Cockapoos. They are one of the most popular designer dog breeds. The American Canine Hybrid Club recognizes both mixes. The Cockapoo can also be referred to as a Spoodle or a Cockadoodle. With some of the most affectionate dog breeds as parents, well-socialized Cockapoos are affectionate family dogs that thrive on attention and affection from their favorite humans. They tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. Provided they are properly socialized, they are even open and friendly with strangers. Cockapoos are highly adaptable dogs. Provided they get enough daily attention, mental stimulation, and exercise, they adapt well to larger homes as well as apartments. They do well in most climates, but are sensitive to heat. Due to their small size, they may also need to bundle up with some winter dog products while on walks in the cold. Because they thrive on attention and bond so closely with their families, these companion dogs do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. They can also be prone to developing separation anxiety if you do not work with them early on. Potential health concerns to be aware of in Cockapoos can include elbow dysplasia , hip dysplasia, cataracts, and glaucoma. Good breeding practices and screening make a big difference in the health of puppies. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to ensure they are not passing preventable issues to puppies. Make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. With some of the best dog breeds for first-time owners as parents, the Cockapoo is also a great fit for owners of any experience level. They bond closely with their owners and are sensitive to them. This, along with their intelligence and eagerness to please, means they pick up on things quickly and respond well to rewards and praise. They could have a coat similar to a Mini Poodle or a coat similar to a Cocker Spaniel. In either case, you will need to brush them daily to remove tangles and prevent mats and visit the groomer every weeks. Weekly ear checks along with careful cleanings if needed can help prevent ear infections. Daily dental care for dogs helps prevent painful dental diseases later in life. Daily brushing, along with cleanings as the vet when needed, is ideal. Cockapoos may be small dogs, but they are also playful and energetic. These dogs sit in a moderate activity range and will often match their energy level to yours. Daily walks plus some play sessions throughout the day are usually enough for these dogs, but they will also usually be up for more activity if you are. They also tend to be versatile and athletic.

Photos courtesy of Angie Louter of Louter Creek Hunting Poodles By Nathan Ratchford Long before standard poodles were perceived as fancy cover dogs by the mainstream media, they were hardcore hunting dogs prized for their utility in the water. And as it turns out, there are still a handful of dedicated breeders producing world class hunting poodles in North America that are finding their way into our duck blinds and wild bird covers. Advertisement History and Development There is much debate surrounding the origin of the standard poodle. Despite the common claim of it being French, most of the evidence points to Germany. But their real utility began when the matchlock saw popular use in and later with the invention of the flintlock. Both firearms revolutionized duck shooting for market hunters and the like. In this new era of water and gun, the poodle thrived, spreading across Europe in the following centuries. They were swallowed up by England channel hunters in the early s and were favored for a long time by market hunters across the North and Baltic sea. The hunting poodle faced challenges from the beginning in North America. The American Kennel Club AKC unfavorably placed the poodle in the non-sporting group from the start, where it still remains. The Canadian Kennel Club CKC also grouped standard poodles into the non-sporting group in , after only briefly having them in the sporting group. This was no doubt in part due to the introduction of the much smaller, non-sporting, miniature poodle. Modern Hunting Poodles Many of the same qualities that have allowed standard poodles to dominate competitive obedience events for decades are also traits that distinguish them as a gun dog. Poodles are recognized to be one of the smartest of all K-9 breeds, and that intelligence has serious benefits in the field. Rich Louter of Louter Creek Hunting Poodles has been training and trialing hunting dogs for several decades and has been specializing in hunting poodles for over thirteen. Another poodle trait that makes them so successful in working capacities is their eagerness to please. In fact, they do much better without it. They are very sensible dogs with a deep connection to their handlers. Advertisement With their long history of water work, a poodle is completely at home in the duck blind. They are not built for hunting big open water like a Chessie, but they do very well for the average duck hunter. With given opportunity, they also have proven to be fantastic trial dogs in both the retriever circuit and in upland tests. Many of the most accomplished poodles in the testing world have been handled, bred or trained by Rich Louter himself. Size and Considerations The standard hunting poodle is around pounds for males and pounds for females, standing inches at the shoulder. With this tall, athletic frame, they are light-footed and capable of great endurance in the field. They have keen noses, and their natural intelligence can nourish some great cover identification and bird-finding ability with proper exposure. They are easy keepers around the home. They are very family-oriented and want to be close to their handler. Poodles are completely hypoallergenic and do not shed, but their coat does need the appropriate trim and some maintenance. If you want to consider a standard poodle for your next gun dog, make sure to go see the parents work yourself. You should also watch how the dog handles. Ensure that the breeder is being responsible in health checks and conformation. Observe the dog around the home. Watch its temperament around children. You should expect to see what you want yourself in a gun dog. With a bit of research and the right breeder, finding a good hunting poodle is a completely achievable target for any wingshooter. More Articles From Breeds. You gotta be kiddin' me! But three factors have long masked the poodle's hunting talents from the general public's view. First, although considered a single breed, the poodle has three sizes: standard over 15 inches at the withers , miniature 10 to 15 inches and toy under 10 inches. Even the most gullible hunter cannot picture a toy or even a miniature poodle tangling with an outraged, crippled Canada goose. Granted, some folks do hunt miniatures on smaller birds, but in general when we speak of hunting poodles, we mean only the standard size. Second, those outlandish dog show coifs that move us to mirth prevent us from visualizing such a dog with all that hair actually hunting anything--except possibly a place on the couch. I'll admit to getting an occasional few minutes of entertainment listening to some dog show handler who has never hunted in his life explain how those fancy trims protect the dog when retrieving in water. In fact, those who hunt their poodles clip them down pretty close to the skin all over, so all that hair is no problem in either water or cover. Advertisement Third, poodles have a reputation as circus dogs, trick dogs, great entertainers--dogs that do humiliating things no self-respecting retriever would even consider. Truth is, the poodle simply has more talent--more smarts, if you will--than most other breeds, so they can do much more than "just" hunt. They love to be trained, love to entertain and love to please, so they will do anything the boss really wants them to do, whether in the circus ring or duck blind. From the Middle Ages, Europeans have always considered the standard poodle a hunting dog. According to Canadian breed historian Emily Cain, Europeans categorized it as a spaniel. However, the French breed name, caniche, comes from chien canard, or "duck dog," so they have also classified it a retriever. In , when CKC recognized the toy poodle, they put both sizes into their non-sporting group. Since , when UKC initiated their retriever hunt tests, several standard poodles have earned the highest titles awarded in those tests. Largely due to the persistent but gentle prodding of poodle breeder and hunter Dr. Grace Blair, in AKC permitted the standard poodle to participate in retriever hunting tests. Since then, several poodles have earned the highest titles awarded in those tests. Clearly, the standard poodle has excellent credentials as a working retriever. Hunters all over the country use them successfully in hunting, and run them just as effectively in various retriever hunt tests. However, most hunting poodles stand much taller, with males 24 to 26 inches and females 22 to 24 inches. Such males weigh 45 to 60 pounds; such females weigh 40 to 50 pounds. These dogs are tall and lithe rather than short and stocky. Being lean and muscular, they have boundless energy and great stamina. Being highly athletic whence comes their trick-dog image , they move with attractive grace and style. Now for the typical hunter's No. The coat may be any of several solid colors, most commonly black, gray, brown, apricot and white. Notably, this coat doesn't shed. That makes it every homemaker's favorite among canine coats. No dog hairs on the rug, sofa, bed or wherever. Then, too, this coat is hypoallergenic, which makes it the choice of dog lovers who are allergic to breeds that shed. Since it doesn't shed, if left untrimmed the coat will grow continuously. When it gets long enough, the fur braids itself into long cords that drag on the floor. Thus, every poodle must be trimmed regularly, which is a time-consuming job, even for a professional groomer, and an expensive job for amateurs who choose not to trim their own poodles. But--and for hunters this is a most important but--no law, rule or directive requires a hunter to keep his poodle in those outlandish dog show trims that make the dog look like a sissified male lion. Au contraire, the hunter may, can and should keep his poodle's coat trimmed down to somewhere around one inch long all over. At that length it curls tightly up against the skin. Although trimming a poodle this way takes time and effort, it requires neither tonsorial skill nor artistic talent. Of course, it must be done frequently, say once a month. Thusly trimmed, the coat protects the dog in all but bone-chilling water. It will also protect him from upland briars and brambles. It does pick up burrs, but the boss can easily pluck them out with a dog comb or rake. To help slide them out easily, some hunters first spray a little cooking oil on each burr. Several years ago, a lady told me about being grabbed by a man as she got into her car in a shopping mall parking lot. Her poodle came out of the car, attacked the man and frightened him off. Another woman told me that when a houseguest once accidentally wandered into her daughter's bedroom, her poodle grabbed the intruder's skirt and tugged on it to lead the woman out of that room. When protecting their owners, poodles seem to have good judgment, applying no more force than necessary. Incidentally, both of these aforementioned poodles were also hunters that had earned advanced hunting test titles. The typical poodle loves to learn to do new things. He loves performing, especially before an appreciative audience, and he's tireless when working. However, he learns quickly and is therefore easily bored, much like the brightest human student in class. Thus repetitive drills, like those for the three parts of the blind retrieve lining, stopping and casting , can bring out the creativity in a bored poodle. After mastering, say, a particular line, instead of repeating it perfectly over and over, he may experiment and try new things, which is counter-productive in drills. For this reason, the trainer must be more creative than his dog. He must drill him in ways that don't seem repetitive, like mixing in shot flyers or fun dummies between repetitions of a given drill. The typical poodle also needs a training program that is predominantly positive. He wants to please, so if the boss 'splains what he wants well enough, the pooch will need few corrections. Expressed appreciation for a job well done works wonders with a poodle. An over-corrected poodle shuts down, quits cold and may not revive for some time. He is a house dog, not a kennel dog. Living in the house allows him to bond strongly with the boss, and figure the boss out from the canine perspective. Since he wants to please the boss so much, this understanding can make him seem like a mind reader in the field. He needs that to develop properly in the field. He can hunt waterfowl in any of the various ways: from a shore blind, from a boat, from a field blind and in jump-shooting. He may not take to water as naturally as a Chesapeake Bay retriever, but he can learn to love it, especially if given an early start as a puppy. Neither has any problem body-slamming an irate, crippled Canada goose and bringing it back alive. This took training, but they took to it quite easily. They like to please.
