one month german shepherd puppy

I am a veterinary assistant. We live in Rockanje, close to Rotterdam, The Netherlands. When Krijn and I where living together for just one week we already knew: We wanted a dog. A French Bulldog to be precise. At the time we already have fallen in love with the breed. We decided to go looking for a dog that needed to be rehomed. On the French Bulldog Forum we found her: Quinta. A beautiful girl that was just 6 years old. It was a bitch with FCI pedigree, but she was bred in a totally different way than we have in mind. Quinta was always outside in a cage. When she had puppies we suspect in every heat she could go inside the house. Looking at her behavior, we could not help but noticing her previous owners were not always nice to her. We were totally in love with her, and thankfully, she was totally in love with us. She learned a lot with us and was taught that people could be trusted and nice. So delightful to see a dog becoming so relaxed en comforted. Quinta developed to be a great dog, and we were addicted! Addicted to the breed. So we decided to take a puppy, Tyke was his name. When we bought Tyke, we did not have any breeding plans. But Tyke grew to be an athletic and healthy French Bulldog. Every now and then we participated in dog shows. Because Tyke exercised a lot in agility we decided to x-ray him. It became clear that he also looked good on the inside! Then everything started. Tyke was asked to be bred. My interest in the breeding world became larger and larger, as did my hunger to knowledge. During my hunt for information it became clearer and clearer to me that the road many breeders have gone was nothing for us. Information was not shared, and often the motives to breed are not in favor of the health of the dogs, or the breed overall. In Memoriam: Quinta Arount that time Quinta got worse. The consequences of her uninterested breeders became more obvious. Quinta was 8 years old and she could not run for an extended period of time. Halfway through our daily long walk she needed help. She could not keep up anymore. Quinta had a bad spine, wich is a big problem within the French Bulldogs. Because of her many litters and maybe collateral calcium insufficiency the condition of her spine was even worsened. On the day of her ninth birthday she lost control over her back legs. With pain killers and excercising she could be with us for a few more weeks. After that she relapsed. We had to euthanise her. I am still very grateful for all that Quinta has given us. She made us fall in love with French Bulldogs. Because of her I have a lot more insight in the abnormalities that occur within the breed. Breeding with wrong motives and to not look out for the best interest of the dog. It is terrible to see your beloved dog like this. I hope no other dog has to feel the pain that she must have felt during her whole life. She has been the biggest motivation in my passion to help the breed get better and healthier. After a while we went for the lookout. We wanted a girl that fitted into our vision in breeding. Bloodlines were searched and all over the world I came in touch with people that know the breed very well. Over a year we searched intensively. And there she was: Bulls of Crown Enchilada , we call her Yara. While she grew up she showed everything that we were searching for! In the meantime I had learnt a lot extra about genetics and health testing, and the abnormalities that occur within the breed. When Yara became 16 months old she underwent a lot of extensive health tests. Wich tests we execute and why is explained on this page. Yara is nowhere near perfect, but a perfect dog still has to be born. Early our home got a wonderful addition in Lucy. We are open about possible abnormalities that our breeding dogs have, and also that of the male we use for breeding. Our kennel is born out of frustration. Frustration about the mysteries that are kept in breeders, about the overall health of the breed and even about the individual dogs. Frustration that one seems to find some abnormalities totally normal. Frustration because often there is no transparency about the diseases that are within the breed, or that they keep their mouth shut on purpose about it. We do not claim to know it all. The only thing we can do is promise that we will try our utmost best to breed healthy French Bulldogs. That is what we aspire. That is what we stand for. About Hawbucks And then we must look for a kennel name that fits our needs. What name do we want dogs bred by us to carry? By all means it had to be something tough and sturdy, because French Bulldogs are no types for an elegant name. They are rude and ignorant. By coincidence the name Hawbuck showed up somewhere. Hawbuck is typical French Bulldog! It is an old American word. An unmannerly lout; a clown. This is totally fitting for a French Bulldog! French Bulldogs are not supposed to have sweet elegant names, because they are nowhere near elegant dogs! For example: they walk your socks off when they see something they want to go to. Often tricky to keep motivated to work together. In every breed discription you will find that French Buldogs are true clowns. And they really are. Not a day goes by that they do not make me smile. So the dogs that are bred by us will carry the name Hawbucks. And we are quite proud of that! What are we doing to improve the health of French Bulldogs? The nutrition How to care of your bully , by brushing and cuddles The cleaning is essential for the French bulldog, especially in the warmer months: harmful germs and bacteria could lurk on the coat, ears or between the fine lines of the face. The bath should be done but not too frequently , with neutral cleansings and the temperature of the water shouldn't be to hot. And then, you will have to dry your puppy very well with a towel, especially in winter. Other precautions we can mention are brushing, checking and cleaning the ears and wrinkles under the eyes as well as the feet, teeth and the area around the tail. All our puppies are weaned and fed immediately with our food. Health The French bulldog doesn't have particular health problems, but it's still necessary to pay attention to its physical conformation typical of the breed which could be the cause, for example, of breathing problems in the warmer months; vertical jumps or similar movements should be avoided in way to not overload the joints. Most of all, it is good practice to pay attention on the most common health problems in dogs as: ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, parasitic infections and various dermatological diseases. The nutrition The French bulldog needs to follow a balanced diet, taking the right amount of nutrients. If you decide to opt for fresh food, you must be aware to prepare complete foods every day, with the right amount of each nutrient. Dry food, on the other hand, is prepared in way to obtain the perfect balance of all the nutrients. So in this case, pay a particular attention to the ingredients and read the labels carefully in way to avoid the chemical antioxidants, which could cause carcinomas to your puppy. Download our guide!

They would go around with their masters to get their affection. The bassetoodles are curious dogs and would follow anything that comes their way. They would often get very nosey, enjoying sniffing your boxes, mail, purses, bags, dirty clothes, its bed or yours, and so on. Though they are affectionate, happy, and friendly in nature, they, at times, might display stubborn behavior. Being mischievous, their fondness might reach to such a level that they might, at times, jump onto people. They also love kids, and would play with them and other pets in the family. These silly animals would be ideal for anyone who is in of a faithful companion. However, care must also be taken that your kids to not get over-enthusiastic and jump or sit on their backs. This might prove to be dangerous since they are dogs with a long back. The bassetoodle also love to go out, get groomed or ride a car. Like their basset hound parent, they would howl more than bark. They would use their voices to let their family members aware of strangers or intruders, or just anything suspicious. They would also get noisy, if left alone for long hours, or are constantly provoked. They have a tendency to wander off if they find a scent, and if the owners are not keeping an eye on this. Care Exercise The playful bassetoodles love to play. Take them to the dog park every day, or play with your pet inside a safe, well-fenced yard since they can roam or follow scents. Though, regular exercise is also necessary. They love long walks. Take them out for daily walks with you, or for a little jogging. Also, make sure, you allow your dog to be without a leash for sometime every day, since they do not always prefer to be in a leash. Grooming These dogs are average to heavy shedders, and you need to groom them frequently. Brushing them at least 2 to 3 times a week is recommended. You can even bathe them once every two weeks to ensure cleanliness, as also to retain the sheen of its coat. A good brushing session would also resist the hair from matting. Trim them occasionally, including the regions around the anus and the eyes. Many owners love to keep the longer eyebrows and whiskers of their bassetoodle. Health Problems No breed specific health problems are reported, except for genetic and general dog diseases. Training These are quite intelligent dogs and are ever ready to please their masters, and hence, it is quite easy to train. Because it is natural for the bassetoodle to show obstinate behavior, you must train them with leadership. They should be dealt with firm authority and may require a firm, authoritative training style. This breed does well with agility, hunting, and obedience training. Begin training from the time you adopt your puppy from the breeders, or from a shelter or some rescue. Give them proper training about housebreaking, obedience, crate, etc. But make sure you choose the right quality of food, and those that abide by the nutrition level that they need. Bassetdoodle Description The Bassetoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Basset Hound and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. At almost 2 years old he weighs a little under 27 pounds 12 kg and is 14 inches 35 cm at the shoulder. Personality: very playful, dog and people friendly, higher energy level than a Basset, but not as hyper as most Toy Poodles. His wire coat sheds seasonally and needs to be stripped twice a year. It's a female; her father is a brown Basset short fur and her mother is a white Poodle, a little bigger than a toy Poodle. She is really fat; one reason is because her internal organs are too big for her body, but she is really cute. She weighs 23 lbs. She is mellow and peaceful inside the house and likes nothing more than to curl up beside you. When outside she is thrilled to see anyone! She loves kids, licks the cat's face clean every morning, and enjoys startling, but not chasing, our two birds. She wags her tail like crazy when she sees someone she knows! Her hair and toenails grow quickly and require regular grooming. I love those large windblown ears and the soft white Poodle hair with lemon and white Bassett markings! Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Click here for more information on this characteristic Bassetoodle Overview The Bassetoodle is a typically laid-back and easygoing pup that enjoys burning off energy before relaxing with their dog parents. While the Basset Hound is often associated with laziness, the Poodle contributes excitement and an inquisitive nature to this mix. Training the Bassetoodle can present some challenges. While both parent breeds are intelligent and have been used as working dogs, Basset Hounds are known for their stubbornness. Poodles, on the other hand, are highly trainable but can also display independent tendencies. Consistency and a firm approach to discourage negative behaviors are crucial when training this breed. Short daily training sessions lasting minutes are recommended to maintain their attention and facilitate progress. Enrolling in puppy classes or general obedience training with a professional can also be beneficial. The Bassetoodle may not be the best fit for novice dog parents, as prior experience with hounds and their stubborn nature is preferable. They can be strong-willed and require mental and physical stimulation. Without proper stimulation, they can become bored and frustrated, despite the love they receive. Separation anxiety is also a possibility in this breed. Dog parents who are frequently home or have the ability to bring their pups to work are well-suited for this breed, although it is not a strict requirement. Daily walks of at least 35 minutes are recommended for the Bassetoodle. Although they have lower exercise requirements due to their relaxed Basset Hound heritage, they still benefit from mental stimulation. Training sessions, scentwork activities, and other forms of enrichment can provide the mental engagement they need. It is important to note that Bassetoodles can exhibit behaviors that humans find frustrating, such as digging and excessive barking when they are understimulated or bored. Bassetoodle Highlights Friendly and affectionate: Bassetoodles are known for their loving and gentle personalities. They are very good with children and other pets, and they make great family dogs. Intelligent and easy to train: Bassetoodles are relatively intelligent dogs and are easy to train with positive reinforcement. They are eager to please their owners and love to learn new things. Low-maintenance: Bassetoodles are relatively low-maintenance dogs, but they do require some regular exercise and grooming. They should be brushed at least once a week to prevent mats and tangles. They may also need to be trimmed or clipped every few months, depending on the length of their coat. Versatile: Bassetoodles can adapt to a variety of living situations, including apartments and houses. They are also good with a variety of activities, such as hiking, swimming, and playing fetch. Health: Bassetoodles are generally healthy dogs, but they can be prone to some health problems, such as hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and eye problems. It is important to have them regularly checked by a veterinarian. However, both parent breeds have rich backgrounds and are highly regarded. Initially prized by French aristocrats, Basset Hounds later became popular among commoners after the French Revolution. These hunting dogs were valued by those who needed companions they could follow on foot, as they lacked access to horses. Basset Hounds made their way to Britain in the midth century. Millais started his own breeding program and collaborated with Lord Onslow and George Krehl on their respective programs. As for the Poodle, it is one of the oldest breeds specifically developed for waterfowl hunting. While its origins trace back to Germany, the Poodle became its own distinct breed in France. French hunters utilized the Standard Poodle primarily for duck hunting and the Miniature Poodle, a mid-sized variant, for truffle hunting in the woods. However, by the mids, the Poodle had become the most popular breed in the country, maintaining this position for over two decades. Bassetoodle Size The Bassetoodle is a substantial mixed breed, characterized by its stout legs that give the impression of a smaller size despite its weight. As a crossbreed, the Bassetoodle does not have a standardized breed standard. Therefore, their coat colors can vary, drawing from the palette of both parent breeds. However, it is common to find Bassetoodles with white coats adorned with brown and black markings. Their coat texture often leans towards the curly and wavy patterns inherited from the Poodle parent. Bassetoodle Personality The Bassetoodle is known to be generally good-natured and affectionate towards familiar individuals, but they can display a standoffish demeanor towards strangers. It is crucial to prioritize socialization from a young age for every dog, regardless of their inherent temperament. Proper socialization helps prevent reactivity towards people or other dogs, which can limit their experiences in life, such as visiting dog-friendly establishments or enjoying playtime at the dog park. Consistent and positive reinforcement training during their early years is key to enhancing their overall quality of life, as well as your own. It is important to establish firm and consistent training practices, and if behavioral issues arise, seeking the assistance of a professional trainer can be beneficial. Bassetoodle Health The Bassetoodle, like many dog breeds, may be prone to certain health conditions that require attention and care. It is important to be aware of these potential issues to ensure the well-being of your Bassetoodle. Here are some health concerns that can affect this breed: Hip Dysplasia : Bassetoodles may be susceptible to hip dysplasia, a condition characterized by abnormal development of the hip joints. It can lead to discomfort, pain, and mobility issues. Obesity : Bassetoodles have a tendency to gain weight, so it is important to provide them with a balanced diet and regular exercise to prevent obesity. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial to avoid putting extra strain on their joints and overall health. Bloat : Bassetoodles are also at risk for bloat, a serious condition where the stomach fills with gas and can twist on itself. Prompt veterinary attention is necessary if bloat is suspected. Panosteitis : This condition involves inflammation of the long bones, commonly seen in young dogs. It can cause lameness and discomfort but usually resolves with proper care and management. Glaucoma : Bassetoodles may have a higher predisposition to glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye. Regular eye examinations and early detection are important to prevent vision loss. Allergies : Like many dogs, Bassetoodles can develop allergies, which can manifest as skin irritations, itching, or gastrointestinal issues. Identifying and managing allergens can help alleviate these symptoms. Intervertebral Disc Disease : Bassetoodles may be prone to intervertebral disc disease IVDD , a condition that affects the spinal discs. It can lead to pain, nerve compression, and even paralysis if left untreated. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are crucial for the well-being of affected dogs. Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for managing and minimizing the risk of these health issues. Additionally, staying attentive to any signs of discomfort or unusual behaviors and seeking veterinary care when necessary will contribute to the overall health and happiness of your Bassetoodle. Bassetoodle Care The Bassetoodle, like most breeds, thrives on daily exercise to maintain their well-being. While they have a playful nature, a significant portion of their stimulation can come from mental activities, alongside regular physical exercise. Ideally, this breed should engage in at least a minute walk each day. In addition to walks, Bassetoodles enjoy both indoor and outdoor playtime, such as playing fetch or engaging in a game of tug-of-war. While a backyard is not a requirement, it can be beneficial for this breed to have a space where they can release any excess energy. It is worth considering that Bassetoodles may not be the most suitable choice for apartment living. Although they are easygoing and can enjoy themselves in smaller spaces, their characteristic loud howl may become bothersome to other tenants Bassetoodle Feeding To ensure optimal health, the Bassetoodle should be provided with a diet appropriate for a small breed with medium energy levels. They are often motivated by challenging puzzle toys as well. When working on trick-training or rewarding good behavior, consider using low-calorie treats like sweet potatoes. As each dog has unique dietary requirements, it is advisable to consult your veterinarian to determine the best food options for your Bassetoodle. Their expertise will help ensure that your pup receives a balanced and appropriate diet for their specific needs. Regular brushing sessions, typically two to three times a week, are recommended to remove debris and prevent matting. Pay special attention to their long ears, as they can impede proper air circulation and increase the risk of ear infections. Bathing should be done as needed, usually no more than once a month, to keep the coat clean and fresh. For more intricate grooming tasks like clipping or complex coat maintenance, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a professional groomer who is experienced with this breed. Keeping their nails at an appropriate length is essential for their comfort and overall well-being. This breed is known for being affectionate and well-behaved around children , making them great family pets. While proper introductions are necessary, they can also form strong bonds with other dogs in the family. However, due to their hunting background, they may not be suitable for households with small animals like hamsters. On the other hand, Bassetoodles can generally coexist well with cats. While they may initially be cautious with strangers, this breed tends to have an easygoing nature and is generally friendly with almost everyone. Bassetoodle Rescue Groups As a designer breed, dedicated rescue groups specifically for the Bassetoodle may be limited. However, there are numerous deserving dogs in shelters waiting for their forever homes. Remember, adopting a rescue pup is a wonderful choice. Bassetoodle Breed Organizations Finding a reputable dog breeder is one of the most important decisions you will make when bringing a new dog into your life. Reputable breeders are committed to breeding healthy, well-socialized puppies that will make great companions. They will screen their breeding stock for health problems, socialize their puppies from a young age, and provide you with lifetime support. On the other hand, backyard breeders are more interested in making a profit than in producing healthy, well-adjusted dogs. They may not screen their breeding stock for health problems, and they may not socialize their puppies properly. As a result, puppies from backyard breeders are more likely to have health problems and behavioral issues. But before you make that life-changing decision, it makes sense to do your research. Bassetoodles can be stubborn, which means that first-time dog owners can find them a bit of a challenge in terms of training. Choosing to work with a professional dog trainer is the best way of finding out the methods that will suit these dogs the best. If you or your neighbors are sensitive to noise, you should know that these dogs love to howl! While they might not bark as much as some other breeds, they are capable of making quite a racket. They also love spending time with their humans — so much so, that they can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. Bassetoodles are registered with several breed registries. The Bassetoodle will follow its nose anywhere. This hybrid breed has inherited the superior tracking ability of its Basset Hound parent. In terms of scenting capabilities, the Basset Hound is the second most capable breed at sniffing out and following a scent. Their Bassetoodle progeny are also keen trackers as a result! While tracking a scent, the Bassetoodle will let out a loud bark. A throwback to their Basset Hound parent, this bark is designed to let handlers locate their dogs. The Bassetoodle combines the best of both parent breeds. Your pup may look more like their Poodle parent but have the character of a Basset Hound or the other way around! The best way to be sure this is the right breed for you is to familiarize yourself with the temperament, personality, and appearance of both parent breeds. They will be quietly loyal rather than constantly seeking affection. This is especially evident when they find an irresistible new scent trail to follow. They will simply switch off from everything else, put their nose to the ground, and track! With pack dog parents on the Basset Hound side of the family, these dogs want to be around people and other dogs. A Bassetoodle left alone for a long amount of time during the day will soon start to suffer from separation anxiety. This can lead to undesirable behaviors, including howling, barking, and chewing or clawing your furniture. Bassetoodles are intelligent and excellent problem solvers. Are These Dogs Good for Families? The smaller size and short legs of this breed make them great around kids or elderly family members. Make sure each animal has a space of their own to retreat to if they feel the need. If you click and purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Learn More The Bassetoodle is another up and coming Poodle mix that we expect to become more popular in the upcoming years. In this guide, we learn everything about the Bassetoodle, including their appearance, activity levels, temperament, health, grooming, and much more. Both Basset Hounds and Poodles are among the most well-known dog breeds out there. The Basset Hound is instantly recognized by its long body and short, stubby legs. By combining these two purebred dogs, it results in an easygoing and loving Doodle with a great personality. From the Basset Hound parent, Bassetoodles inherit their friendly and gentle demeanor, whereas the Poodle heritage contributes to their high levels of intelligence and, of course, the hypoallergenic coat. In terms of the Bassetoodle size, they can be created by using either Standard, Miniature, or Toy Poodles. However, the most popular choice for this Doodle is the Miniature Poodle. However, as Doodle breeds keep on trending, we expect to see more of the Bassetoodle in the near future. Bassetoodle Physical Appearance Color Bassetoodle puppies can inherit a variety of coat colors that originate from their purebred Basset Hound and Poodle parents. Most commonly, Bassetoodles come in brown, tan, golden, black, white, cream, red, and blue coats. Additionally, they may also inherit beautiful patterned coats, such as the gorgeous bi-color and tri-color coats, the latter being one of the most recognizable Basset Hound coat colors. Some puppies may take more after the Basset Hound parent, whereas others resemble more of the Poodle. And, some puppies will inherit their traits from both sides of the lineage. It all boils down to their genetics. Similarly, the Bassetoodle can come in three different coat types. On the other hand, some Bassetoodles inherit the straight Basset Hound coat that tends to shed, and others get a wavy combination coat inspired by both of the purebred parents. For people who struggle with dog allergies, a curly-coated Bassetoodle would be the safest choice. However, the Poodle genes usually work their magic even in straight coat Bassetoodles. Although straight-coated Bassetoodles are not an ideal choice for allergies, they still shed much less compared to the purebred Basset Hound parent. So, the best way to predict the size of a Bassetoodle puppy is by looking at its parents. Surprisingly enough, the Basset Hound is a medium to large-sized breed with an average weight of 40 to 65 pounds. But thanks to their short legs, these pups only grow up to 15 inches tall. Based on weight, the Standard Poodle would be the perfect size to pair the Basset Hound with. Miniature Poodles weigh between 10 and 20 pounds with an average height of 10 to 15 inches measured from the shoulder. In contrast, Standard Poodles weigh around 38 to 70 pounds with an average height of 24 to 27 inches. Quite tall compared to the Basset Hound! So, how big will a Bassetoodle get? Although the Bassetoodle is not as established as some other Doodle breeds, we can make some pretty accurate guesstimates of their height and weight. When the Miniature Poodle is used in the mix, Bassetoodles usually weigh between 20 and 30 pounds, and they stand between 12 and 16 inches tall at the shoulder. However, if either Toy or Standard Poodles are used to create Bassetoodles, we can expect there to be much more variation in terms of size. Just like the Basset Hound parent, Bassetoodles tend to come with shorter legs and longer bodies. But, thanks to the Poodle genes in the mix, it will be slightly more balanced out compared to the purebred Basset Hound. To create hybrid breeds like the Basset-Poodle mix, breeders can use either a purebred Basset Hound and Poodle parent, or produce later generations, such as the first-generation backcross Bassetoodle, or even second-generation Doodle. Sounds confusing, right?

Hypo- means less hypothermia is having a lower than normal body temperature. No dog can be said to be completely non-allergenic.

It is a cross between a Standard Poodle and a Labrador Retriever. This designer dog breed originated in Australia around .The main goal of the Labradoodle was to create a hypoallergenic guide dog for people living with disabilities who were also allergic to dog fur and dander. Now, they are still a popular choice for service, guide, and therapy dogs and are also a popular companion dog. Labrador Retrievers and Poodles are both friendly, gentle, intelligent, and affectionate dog breeds. The Labradoodle tends to be similar. They are open and friendly and crave human attention and affection. They are happiest when they are with people. Labradoodles also tend to have an energetic and playful personality. They get along well with children, other dogs, other pets, and strangers. They are alert enough to bark or let you know when someone is at the door, but they are not generally good watchdogs or guard dogs as they are more interested in making friends. A Labradoodle is a highly adaptable dog breed. They do very well in homes with space to run and they can adapt well to apartment living as long as they are given plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They also do well in most climates. As with any dog breed, they are sensitive to extreme heat and cold. Because they enjoy being around people, they do not generally like to be left alone for long periods of time. They can also become bored if not given enough attention, exercise, or mental stimulation, which can result in destructive behavior. This dog breed is generally healthy, but they do have the chance of inheriting common health conditions from both of the parent breeds. Some health conditions to be aware of include elbow and hip dysplasia, ear infections, progressive retinal atrophy, hypothyroidism, and epilepsy. Good breeding practices can reduce the likelihood of passing on many of these health issues. Be sure to talk with the breeder about the genetic history of the parents and ask to see any health clearances; this can help allay potential health concerns. A Labradoodle tends to be eager to please and highly intelligent, which makes them highly trainable. They are a good fit for dog owners of any experience level. As with most dog breeds, Labradoodles respond best to training that is consistent and uses positive reinforcement. There are some grooming tasks that are common to every dog breed. When it comes to coat care, it can vary with a Labradoodle. Poodles have a low-shedding coat that is also high maintenance in terms of brushing, trimming, and professional grooming. Labs tend to have a higher shedding coat that needs minimal brushing and grooming. For the most part, a Labradoodle will have a low or non-shedding coat that will need to be brushed a few times a week. But, they can have a higher shedding coat should they take after their Labrador parent. You may also need a few professional grooming sessions throughout the year. Nail trimming once a month is usually enough to keep movement comfortable and prevent longer nails from snagging on things. Proper dental care for your dog will help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Drop-down ears are more prone to infection because floppy ears are more likely to trap moisture, dirt, and debris. This will make grooming throughout their life a much more enjoyable process for both you and your dog. It can even become a bonding time for you both as well. Labradoodles tend to be high-energy dogs. They require a few daily walks plus some time to run and play in order to stay happy and healthy. They certainly love to play and you may tire out before they do sometimes. They may calm down a little as they get to be a couple of years old, but they tend to be quite energetic as puppies. Going swimming with your dog , taking a hike with them, going on a trip to the dog park, playing a game of fetch, and more are all great supplemental activities to ensure your Labradoodle gets plenty of exercise. You can even train them to compete in dog sports like dock diving, flyball, agility, obedience, and more.

The winner of cutest pug in the world is.His cute little puppy paws probably smell like popcorn yes thats a thing! We'll dive into more details on each of these: 1 Illness or injury. As with any sort of strange behavior, health issues are always a top concern. Not feeling well almost always manifests as changes in mood. Any physical issues such as limping, favoring a certain part of the body, or inability to walk or run as usual point to some sort of injury or condition. What to do: When in doubt about any possible health issue, contact the vet. Eating changes or gastrointestinal issues are just a few reasons to contact the veterinarian and schedule a checkup. If you have a female Pug that has not been spayed and is therefore entering in and out of heat cycles , this can cause her to feel moody. Heat typically occurs twice per year. It can last 2 to 3 weeks. In addition, it is believed that some dogs feel abdominal cramping, which can lend to the bad mood. What to do: You can help by allowing your Pug to retreat if she wishes, being sure that she has a great bed to rest on, and if she appears to be in discomfort placing a warm heating pad next to her abdomen can help be sure that this is set on warm, not hot, and that your Pug cannot chew on any cords. Ky Ky, at 2 years old, photo courtesy of The Van Allen Family 3 Loss of a companion If a Pug no longer sees a friend animal or human , this can have a huge impact on him. This is generally most severe if a person, dog, or other is no longer part of the household. But, a Pug can also feel quite down even if he does not see a regular visitor. If your Pug is feeling sad or down for this reason, it will be important to allow him to grieve the loss. If it was a household member that is gone, it will be normal for a Pug to roam the house looking for him, or to gaze out of a window waiting for that person to arrive. What to do: It can be hard to watch a Pug feel unhappy like this. While you will want to give him time to accept the loss, there are some things that you can do. It can help to engage your Pug in an activity that is new to him. This can be a walk in a new neighborhood, or a visit to a new place. Any sort of safe location in which he can see new things, hear new sounds, and smell new scents can help to perk him up. This can be a lake shore, hiking trail, pet store… any place that is novel. When you find a spot that your Pug seems to enjoy and that has let him shake off his bad mood for a while, try to make that a new ritual for both of you. Take him there as often as possible, but at least once a week at minimum. And of course, this is applicable to a negative change. Some examples include: Spending less time with his human A new household member human or pet A move to a new house Changes in the household vibe such as more noise, more visitors, etc. What to do: How you help your Pug come out of a funk will depend on what type of change triggered him to start to feel depressed. But, if the situation is already occurring, you can: Be sure to keep both pets separate in regard to where they eat, rest, and sleep. Even if you envisioned your Pug having a new best friend, that sort of bond cannot be forced. Until the two are ready, they should feel as if they have their own areas for food, and to rest both during the day and at night to sleep. If this is a matter of having two Pugs or two dogs, you may need to help them decide who the leader is. Hopefully, your Pug already sees you as the alpha. But with more than one pet, there is also an alpha dog, the leader of the animal pack. Normally it is the older dog; but, it is not always so and can also depend on gender. If the dogs are unclear about where they stand, you can help them by doing things for the alpha first. This applies to the order in which the food bowls are placed down, leashes are attached, dogs are let out, etc. Bowls in a certain corner of the kitchen, toys to the side of the sofa, etc. Dogs can feel wary until they understand that they are occupants and not just visitors, so it can take some time. Each day, walk your Pug from room to room. And when you take him outside, walk him around the perimeter of the yard. He may seem irritated or withdrawn. Any sort of commotions should be kept to a minimum. And if some of these sorts of things cannot be avoided, set up an area for your Pug to retreat to if he has the urge to get away from things. Now, this kind of odd behavior is just fine! Lilly 2 years old and Ky Ky 2 years old , photo courtesy of The Van Allen Family 5 Boredom While a Pug may be perfectly happy to sit by you while you watch TV, and may seem just fine laying down while you do some household chores, ongoing monotony can really start to wear on a Pug. Some windows of down time are just fine. Days, weeks, or months on end can end up making a Pug rather depressed. Also, as a Pug matures, issues with boredom can increase. This is because as he ages, his comprehension of the world strengthens. What used to satisfy a puppy may not be enough for an adult Pug. He should have at least 2 walks per day, a session of some type of learning commands, a trick, heeling, etc. Pugs should have toys that encourage independent play. Some great ones to get are those that speak or make silly noises. The Animal Sounds Babble Ball is great too; this lets out 20 funny animals sounds, including frogs, goats, horses, and more. That is just one, the Multipet line of toys has a bunch of different animals, each is a good sized stuffed animal, sturdy, and lets us fun sounds. Are there any errands that you run without your Pug that you actually could take him with you for? Are you sure? As long as you have a safe car seat for your Pug , and keep him on leash and harness, let him to be your companion for shopping and running errands as much as possible. When a Pug Acts Restless The Pug breed can get a bad rep sometimes, being thought of as a touch lazy and inactive. But, Pug owners know that this breed actually has a pretty good energy level. With Pugs, there is usually a good balance of activity and rest. Mood changes that include agitation, restlessness, or irritation definitely point to some sort of problem. Reasons for acting restless include: Pent-up energy most common reason Health issue or injury possible We'll dive into each of these: 1 Pent-up energy The Pug is often underrated in this regard. But, Pugs can get very disturbed if they are not allowed to release their natural energy. This is very common in the winter , when weather keeps both owners and dogs inside more often, but can also happen just from not getting outside enough for his daily walks. Frank, photo courtesy of Nina Coley What to do: 1- If you do not take your Pug for two walks per day, now is the time to start. If cold weather is getting in your way, place a lined vest on your Pug like the Kuoser Waterproof Windproof British Style Plaid Dog Vest , be sure that his paws are protected from the cold and he has traction via a good paw wax, and dress warmly yourself. Of course, a concern with this breed is overheating; however, as long as your Pug appears to have the energy, you take a break every 15 minutes, and bring along water to for him to re-hydrate, you can often extend walks. Playing fetch or teaching commands are always good choices. If your Pug knows all of the basic commands, take it up a notch by teaching him some tricks. Any of these sorts of odd behaviors may be red flags of a hip, bone, back, or other physical issue. However, if a Pug suddenly acts afraid for no apparent reason, this can be worrying. Whining and cowering down Reasons for acting afraid include: Actually being startled or scared Feeling uncomfortable, mostly due to temperature We'll dive into each of these: 1 The most common cause is the one you assumed; the Pug is afraid of something. The tricky part is trying to figure out what it is, if the reason is not clear. In some cases, this can be related to the incredible sense of hearing that canines possess. A puppy or dog may have heard an alarming noise that his human simply did not pick up on. This may be other dogs barking, police sirens, or other such noises. If so, the episode should be over quickly. In other instances, the cause can be a mystery. It can be random things… a dog may see his reflection in a mirror and get spooked studies show that canines cannot identify their own reflection , or even a former tumble down steps that now make a dog wary when he goes near them. What to do: How you act will have a big impact on how your Pug interprets things. Since you are his leader, he will look to you for cues on whether or not his behavior is valid. If you coddle him, swoop him up, and offer soothing words of concern, that will just be giving affirmation that he should be scared. It is best to acknowledge that he has sensed something. And then, show him that all is well and re-direct his attention. Be sure that your body language conveys what you are saying. If you coddle him, swooping him up and offer soothing words of concern, that will just be giving affirmation that he should be scared. Sometimes shivering, cuddling up close, and other such behaviors can be misinterpreted as a Pug being scared, when he is actually trembling and seeking warmth due to feeling chilled. Though this breed has a thick coat, this does not make him invincible to the cold. And being a small dog, cold intolerance is not uncommon. What to do: Check your house for drafts and air currents. In the winter, some spots that you do not normally access, but your Pug does, like the floor can have drafts. You may wish to place clothing on your Pug like a soft shirt or vest. Once he has another layer on his core body, he should feel more comfortable. Or use his eyes to follow unseen things across the wall? If so, you are not alone. Lots of dogs react to things that their humans cannot see or hear. The reason for this is due to incredible canine hearing. Dogs hear things that we cannot hear without special instruments. We only hear things in the frequency range of , Hz. But, your Pug hears things in the much larger range of , Hz. And, your Pug can hear noises from 4 times the distance that you can. So, if your puppy or dog is reacting to something that you can neither see or hear, changes are that he is behaving that way for good reason. What to do: Do the exact same thing as stated above in cases of a Pug acting afraid with no reason. Acknowledge that he is noticing something, and then re-direct his attention. This is a pretty even-keeled breed, so any sort of strange, weird, or odd behavior usually has a root cause that should be assessed.

Basic Pug Facts Pugs belong to the companion classification of dogs. Despite their stocky, muscular build, they are part of the toy group. Fully grown, these pups are 10 to 12 inches tall and weigh between 14 and 20 pounds. The average Pug life span is 12 to 15 years. With their gentle, playful personalities and sturdy bodies, Pugs make great canine companions for families with small children. Breed History Pugs are one of the oldest dog breeds around. Some enthusiasts claim they can be traced all the way back to the Shang Dynasty, which ruled China from B. While Pugs did originate in China, most people agree that it was likely closer to B. Here are some of the highlights: In ancient times, Pugs kept Tibetan monks company in their monasteries. Portuguese traders brought the breed to Holland in the 16th century. In the Netherlands in , a Pug named Pompey famously saved his famous pet parent — William the Silent, Prince of Orange — from Spanish assassins by barking to wake his master. In the early 19th century, Queen Victoria popularized the breed. No one is certain where the name Pug originated. Still others speculate that the name evolved from Puck, the mischievous fairy from "A Midsummer Night's Dream. These shorthaired dogs have a sleek, double-layered coat that comes in a variety of colors, including black, fawn, silver fawn, and apricot. Pugs are square and thickset with round, flat faces, deep wrinkles, large dark eyes, and velvety ears. Pugs also have a classic underbite, which gives them a comical, faux-grumpy expression. In this case, your veterinarian might recommend orthodontic treatment. Pugs are incredibly friendly people pleasers who have a great sense of humor and love showing off. They even seem to enjoy being dressed in adorable costumes. Pugs have a serious side, too. If left alone for long periods of time, Pugs can get anxious or depressed. They are welcoming to strangers when their pet parents approve, but they still know how to guard their castle. Although what they lack in yapping, they make up for in other sounds…like wheezing, snorting, and snoring! You better believe it! Although they have short, glossy coats, these wrinkly wonders are heavy shedders. Aside from the shedding, Pug grooming is relatively low-key. Bathe your pooch as needed, and trim their nails every few weeks. Thoroughly clean and dry inside the folds using these wrinkly dog care tips to avoid infection. In addition, Pugs are prone to dental issues, so your pal may need more frequent dental cleanings. Pug Parent Tips Be aware that Pugs are brachycephalic dogs, meaning that their flat faces naturally constrict their airways. Your pup will get winded easily and have a tough time regulating their body temperature. Even a pleasant summer day can lead to dangerous heat exhaustion. Pugs do much better when living in an air-conditioned home with plenty of access to shade and water whenever they do head outdoors. Some airlines actually ban Pugs from the cargo space due to their difficulty regulating body temperature. Pugs are naturally a little lazy and typically sleep 14 hours a day. Try taking your furry friend on two short walks a day. Take breaks if your pup seems pooped. Training Pugs are curious and intelligent, but can be obstinate, so the sooner you begin training, the better. Crate training is typically most successful in terms of housebreaking, and enrolling your canine companion in puppy classes at 10 to 12 weeks is ideal. Make sure to approach all training in a supportive and loving way. Pugs are sensitive little pooches, and severe training may hurt their feelings. Common Health Issues The breathing concerns associated with Pugs are probably the most well-known health issue they face. These can include pinched nostrils, elongated soft palates, and reverse sneezing fits. Unfortunately, this lovable breed is also prone to: Eye injuries: Those big round eyes are vulnerable, and your Pug may suffer from proptosis a bulging, dislocated eyeball , scratched corneas, conjunctivitis pink eye , or a painful entropion muscle spasm that causes the eyelid to fold inward. Orthopedic conditions: Sixty-four percent of Pugs end up with hip dysplasia.

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.

It should be a rectangular box with walls high enough to keep the puppies in. It should also have soft, clean bedding and a source of heat. Keep the box protected from any disturbances, especially quarantined away from other dogs or animals. The bedding should be soft and uneven, such as an egg-crate foam with towels on top. This will prevent your puppies from developing flat chests or splayed legs. Use an adjustable heat lamp to keep your puppies warm. If all of them are huddled under the lamp, turn it up. If all of them are huddled on the opposite side from the lamp, turn it down. Put the litter in the whelping box with their mother and keep constant watch over them for the first few hours to ensure that your bitch is prepared to assume her motherly duties. Sometimes moms can be aggressive, even towards their own offspring. As soon as you see her relax and start cleaning her pups and allowing them to feed, you can be sure that she has acknowledged them as her babies. Sometimes they can be slow on the uptake. Their mom will generally stimulate these behaviors by licking their genitals and anus after each mealtime. If they do not, you will have to simulate her motherly duty. Use a cotton ball dipped in warm water to rub the appropriate places after the puppies have fed. Start weaning the litter off of breast milk as soon as their teeth begin to appear, around four weeks. Start by bowl feeding them with a high-quality puppy formula like Esbilac. Then, mix in some finely ground, high-quality puppy kibble to create a mushy gruel. Introduce dry food alongside mush to encourage puppies to start eating it by choice. This is old enough for your puppy to be healthy and well-socialized but still young enough to not have attachment problems that would make it more difficult to adjust to a new home. The vet should have checked the puppies immediately after the c-section to ensure they were all healthy and free from obvious defects. After that, take the puppies in to start their vaccination cycle at six weeks. The new owners will generally take care of many of these; just be sure that they know they need to register the puppy with a vet right away and continue the cycle of vaccines and parasite control. AKC registration will show prospective buyers that you have certified purebred dogs for sale. The AKC advocates for the responsible ownership of dogs and promotes purebred dog events, such as the Westminster Dog Show. Go to source You can do this via mail or online. Expect a two to six week turnaround time. Show your puppies with their mother in the facility where they were raised. Be able to produce pedigrees and health certifications for both parents that show they have been screened for common defects, and provide health guarantees for your puppies. Responsible breeders will have their parent dogs screened for common defects, including brachycephalic airway syndrome, spinal malformations, hip and reproductive issues, and be able to produce independent certification from a vet that their stock tested negative. Make sure that they're ready to be committed pet owners. Signing a contract to seal the deal will establish you as a credible and transparent breeder while protecting the interests of you, the owner s , and the puppy.
