parti labradoodle puppies for sale california
He is amazing. He is calm yet playful, affectionate, and a total love. Literally nothing phases him. He has been exposed to thunder, fire works, loud mechanical noises, vacuums right up to his crate, umbrellas, and all of the other things people find puppies dislike with no issues. He barked inside of the house for the first time ever two days ago, and it looks like he did so because we had a fox skulking around the house. He prefers to be with us all the time, but has no problem going into his crate when we need him to do so. He is quiet as a mouse from the time we crate him at night until we get him out in the morning typically between pm and 6 am. Training has gone very easily. He has occasional stubborn moments, but for the most part, unless we are working on something brand new or really difficult, we do not need to treat with food any longer as he is extremely responsive to praise and petting. He could not get over how smart and gentle Brady is. Brady is very social, both with people and with other dogs. He goes to puppy play group two days a week and his tail starts wagging the moment the van pulls up at the house to take him there. The biggest training challenges we have had with him came from his desire to meet and greet every person and dog he sees. The last big basic thing that we continue to need to work on is jumping up on new people. If we know someone new is coming to the house, we keep a leash on him and he is getting much better about not jumping. I would say he is 90 percent there. He walks beautifully on a leash until we are about fifty feet from returning to our house, then he gets the zoomies and either pulls or tries to grab the leash. We generally stop and put him into sit, down for few seconds, then resume the walk. Normally we only have to do that once. He is still a puppy, though, as you can see from his morning routine which I have in the video below! Catharines, on with Jamie and Billy. He is a mini bernedoodle from Sheena and Pickle .He is about 50lbs but thinks he is a 5lb lap dog. He has a wavy coat. Some words we would use to describe motley are affectionate, happy, goofy, friendly, smart, easy going and lazy. He is very laid back. He loves to sleep in and relax but will run around and play when the time is right. The cottage in the summer is his happy place where he will run around and swim and play like crazy. He loves to go for boat cruises. He is super smart, was very easy to train and has always been a huge love bug. He loves to snuggle. Almost every morning when our alarm goes off he knows he can come into bed so he will quietly come into our room and put his paws up and wait for a boost. He has the most expressive human like eyes that completely make my heart melt. Motley has been coming to work with me since he was 9 weeks old which has made him extremely social with people of all ages, shapes and sizes. He loves everyone and is not shy to lean on a stranger or sit on their feet. He is our office greeter and official mascot. Every person that comes into the office or meets him absolutely adores him. He is literally a celebrity around my office and in our neighborhood. When we are out and about we get stopped constantly with people wondering what kind of a dog he is and then commenting on how awesome he is. Because of his laid back nature and incredible social skills we decided he would make the perfect therapy dog. He passed his CGN test in April and has proved himself to be an amazing therapy dog on the few visits we have been on so far. Motley is our first dog and we could not imagine life without him! Sherry picked the perfect puppy to fit our family. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. She has captured our hearts, to the point where we are wondering why we waited so long to adopt a dog. She is the first dog for both of us. Waldo is a sweet, loving, mischievous, and funny little dog. Always wakes up with bounds of energy and so happy to see us. Whenever we take her anywhere, people always stop to pet her and ask what type of dog she is and gush about how gorgeous she is! I had my heart set on a puppy just like the one I saw in the picture. I stalked the SwissRidge website day after day. I will never forget the day Sherry called me out of the blue. We needed this black standard bernedoodle with a white cross on his chest, and a tan swirl over his eyes! From that day on, we knew this pup we named Raglan was going to be a wonderful addition to our growing family. He was an adorable pup, full of energy, dedication, and spunk. We loved him so much that we knew we had room for another. Our youngest daughter wanted a doodle she could bond with, something smaller, so the following Christmas Santa left a dog crate filled with toys with a note saying we were on the list for a mini bernedoodle. Sula was born the next month and our pack was growing! Sula added a new energy to our pack. She was a playful pup who tested any and all limits she was given. With the help of a local trainer, and a quick education in being the leader of my pack, Raglan and Sula were a dream come true. Now that we had mini and a standard bernedoodle, my love for SwissRidge doodles continued to grow, I hinted around that one more pup would complete our pack. A tiny bernedoodle would make our family complete. I never considered myself to be a small dog person, but there was something about these tiny pups that turned me around. My husband must be as crazy as I am because he contacted Sherry on his own and wanted to surprise me with my third benedoodle for my birthday! Raglan, was from the litter of Chantelle, an Apricot standard poodle, and Dominique, a handsome bernese mountain dog. Raglan is a wonderful pup but he did take sometime and effort to get him that way. Even though I read the books and studied the puppy handbook, I still made some mistakes. Luckily with the support of of a great trainer, I realized what I was doing wrong. Raglan is a wonderful companion and family member. He walks down the street like he is a Clydesdale horse and if one of his pack members breaks away from the pack he does not stand down until they return. He is loyal, loving, and with his long legged stature and winning personality he is the best of all worlds. Raglan will be four in June .Sula is a mini doodle from Juno, a bernese mountain dog, and Eddie, a poodle, born January 2, .She is a total love and attention hound. Throughout my day I always have the feeling that sometimes I am being watched. If I leave the house she will assume her position in the front bay window and wait for my return. Sula loves everything and everyone. She always wants to know what is going on. Whether you are driving a car, sitting on the couch, or yes even sitting at the kitchen counter, Sula is right by your side. She is very vocal and opinionated and will express her opinion any chance she gets! We only wish we knew what she was trying to say. Gibbs, is a tiny bernedoodle from the litter of Kia and Pickles born May 24, .He is as smart as he is adorable. Never having a small dog before Gibbs weighs 15 pounds at 11 months we decided to fly from Boston to California with Gibbs in a carry on bag not knowing what to expect. With a five hour flight ahead of us, we were prepared for anything and everything! Gibbs was unbelievable! I was truly amazed at how well he adjust to this new adventure. We knew Sherry was special the first time we emailed her. We knew she and her pups were worth every penny we would spend on them. Once you make the commitment to Sherry and her pups you will never look back, or wonder if you made the right choice. And then, when you hold your precious treasure in your arms for the very first time, you will not be able to control that warm and fuzzy feeling that will run through your entire body. The testing, the care, the follow through, and most importantly her love for her job are just some of the reasons why Sherry Rupke is the very best Breeder of the Pack. Murphy Uli Meet Uli. She is owned by the Cook family. Her parents are Molly and Pickle. She is a mini a f1b bernedoodle that weighs 20 pounds at 21 weeks. Her final weight should be in the high 30lbs range. I had no idea that a hybrid existed. My interest was peaked with the Bernedoodle, but there was the initial sticker shock for a pup. I tried to find a breeder in the US. Our family was in love with the Bernedoodle. I inquired with every US breeder that I could find. Not one was successfully breeding medium sized dogs. My search returned me to Swiss Ridge Kennels. I was drawn to the effort that Sherry puts into selecting the breeding pair. The US breeders that I had spoken with seemed to lack this forethought. My impression of their process was this: I have a beautiful, affectionate Bernese female and am rolling the dice with a male poodle — he seems like a great guy. I hope the mating is successful and I will analyze the puppies genetics and temperaments to determine if I am following the right breeding path. Granted, all hybrid breeders do this, and it is an art, but Sherry seems to take a more scientific approach before the mating occurs. And I figured, well if the Goldendoodle breeders have been doing it for years and years, then I will trust this stranger in Canada. After excellent breeding, and a lot of worrying on my part, Molly had her puppies. After fantastic early puppy care, Sherry selected a spirited female for us. Uli is a perfect fit for our active and loudish family. She arrived on her 8th week birthday and shipped from Ontario to Denver. The arrival day was very long for Uli, but you could not tell. The paper in her kennel was dry. When I do it again, I will fly to Sherry and bring the pup home in-cabin. All of the above breeding attributes were evident when we held Uli for the first time. Training is beyond easy. Uli loves to learn and please. Potty training was shockingly a breeze. Uli has the perfect combination of Berner and Poodle traits. She immediately adapted to each family member in a unique way. She must be a dog genius and is the perfect amount of spunk. She does not shed — not a trait that I thought I needed but a definite surprise, and now a requirement. Uli loves everyone that she meets, especially young kids. She believes every dog that she meets should play. Uli will play all day long but settles immediately when in her crate, on the couch or on the bed. The kids love how excited Uli is to see them after school, and you can hardly see her wagging tail. She has the most beautiful multicolored coat and white tipped, black tail. She loves to cuddle. Thank You Sherry!! They are both owned by the Hutchins famiy. But alas, Finley is too quick for little Beckett. As the weeks pass and Beckett matures, the distance between them in their cat-and-mouse game lessens. In a matter of time, Beckett will have Finley by the tail, matching her step by step. They bring so much laughter, joy, fun and lightheartedness to our everyday life. He is owned by the Fairman family. He has a great temperament and if you can believe it a great sense of humour. He is very intelligent which is both a plus and a minus. On the plus side he was basically house trained from the time he walked in the door. We have to think very hard to remember him having an accident in the house. He was very easy to train. In each of the 3 or 4 training classes we attended he was always in the running for the best dog in the class. On the negative side if you are not consistent and develop your role as the leader of the pack you will quickly find that he starts training you. We have never had any issues of aggression towards humans or other animals since we have had him. In fact he at times can be overly friendly and become over excited when greating someone new. He is definitely a conversation piece. We have not met a person yet who in not immediately smitten by him and wants to take him home. We were in Hilton Head last March and walking the beach or in town we were constantly stopped by everyone wanting to pat him and find out more about him. Sherry at Swiss Ridge is great. If you take the time to fill out your questionnaire completely and honestly she is very good at matching you with a pup that matches your family. I asked if she could provide me with a mini that would be close to 50lbs. Bernie at his last check up weighed in at 50lbs. As stated prior his is the perfect dog for our family and our stage in life. Sherry has always been there to answer any questions we have had in a timely manner and has always been very supportitive. As much as I feel my opinion is biased over the summer Swiss Ridge held its first annual Doodle Romp. Over 80 owners from all over North America attended. It was at this event that I realized that Bernie was not the exception but the norm when it came to Swiss Ridge Doodles. Both the owners and dogs seemed cut from the same cloth. With over 80 dogs engaging in various forms of free play and interacting with a large number of humans there were not any issues of aggressiveness or inappropriate behaviour that I witnessed. Swiss Ridge owners are very special and dedicated to the breed as witnessed by the Swiss ridge group on face book. Here you find owners who share their good times the rough spots and very good advice and support. Some tips I can give are 1- find a good training book and enroll your pup in puppy classes and others as needed. As stated the doodles are very smart dogs who are easily trained but you need to know how and be consistent to establish you and your family are the pack leaders. Because dogs are pack animals when you bring your pup home crate him in your bedroom at night. They want to be part of the pack. This was something we came to understand by accident and had reconfirmed in talking with other and reading training materials. You can not go wrong with a doodle especially one from Swiss Ridge!! Sherry does a great job providing well mannered healthy pups that meet the needs of their owners. As soon as we can convince my wife Bernie need a sibling for company I will be in line for a standard doodle. Good luck feel free to ask if you have any further questions. So below we have created a list of questions you should ask the breeder. If you have looking such as searching for a service or watch dog and cannot find one at the shelter, it is a good idea to get one from a reputable breeder.

List of the Questions you should Ask the Breeder: 1. How long have you been experiencing the breeding of this breed the breed you are planning to get? They should have good experience in it.

She adores and loves everyone she meets and they adore her. From the day we got her in early October, she has been a joy to have. She has the run of three acres on our property and loves to run and swim. The picture I have sent you is Woof with her constant companion Smudge. We got the kitten at the same time we got Woof. They are inseparable. They play and explore together and sleep together. She loves her groomer and is wild about her vet. She sailed through her neutering with flying colors and looks forward to her monthly appointments. The cat is usually the instigator. In another picture she was about 4 months old at the time. She adds so much to our day to day family life. She is so attentive to their needs always. She can play rough with my son when he is wanting to play rough and tumble with her. And Piper can be the best lap dog around as well. She seems to know what the vibe is in the house at all times. It really is amazing. With this being our first dog, we were a little worried about not having a say at what puppy we got. But as everyone told us — Sherry knows best. You truly do, Sherry! Piper has fit into our crazy hectic lifestyle. She loves her car rides around for carpool and her plane rides out to our vacation house with us. She loves to swim, run, jump, and chase just about anything. Piper is a tiny bernedoodle and has definitely showed us the larger side of the tiny breed. She is 26 lbs. She has very long legs, a beautiful coat, and the cutest little underbite. She has been extremely healthy, eats like a champ, never sheds, and is very smart. We love our Piper Sierra! Thanks, Sherry!

Gibbs is a tiny bernedoodle from the litter of Kia and Pickle, born May 24, .He is as smart as he is adorable.

He is a tiny bernedoodle owned by the Williams family. Born August 13, .Hendrix was born and his parents are Zoey x Stitch. He has SO much personality. He is spunky, playful, and very smart, yet he is also incredibly cuddly and sweet. He is a dog you can wrestle on the ground with, but will also sit in your lap and cuddle. He LOVES my other dogs and has found his place right in the middle…he respects my 75 pound German Shepherd, Stella, as top dog, but has put my 90 pound Goldendoodle, Woody, in his place — bottom of the pack! But Woody is very submissive and fine with that. I was on the fence about getting a tiny Bernedoodle, as I have always been a big-dog person; however, since I already have two big dogs, I felt it was best to get a tiny, and I have to say, I really love his size. He looks bigger than he weighs because of all his hair, and he is easier to travel with. I have taken Hendrix on trips with the family when he was around 3 months old and could still go in a carrier under the seat of the airplane, and he was perfect on every flight, sleeping the entire way. He mingled with many unfamiliar dogs, was all around the horses, rode around in the golf cart, stayed in the hotel with us, and he received many compliments about how well behaved he is and how adorable he is. The most difficult thing about Hendrix is when he does do something naughty, it is SO hard to punish him because he is so darn cute, and, when he gets in trouble, he is REALLY remorseful and you can tell he feels really, really bad! He has a way of making YOU feel guilty! Thank you for producing such a wonderful, fun breed, and bringing so much joy and love into not only our lives, but everyone else who has the privilege of owning one of your dogs. I know that there will be another Bernedoodle in my future. He is owned by the Douglas family. Thanks to the people at SwissRidge Kennels, we brought him home with more than enough information to incorporate him into our lives. Sherry gave us a lot of information in person at the pick up and backed us up with everything written out in our puppy package. Before getting Paco it was a long and fretful wait, wondering what kind of pup we would get. We knew we would not be disappointed as we had a friend with a SwissRidge standard Bernedoodle. We had our doubts and discussions as we are retired and thought we would not ever get a dog again. Having always had a dog in the house or two and a cat, we missed having one. We are thinking we hit the jackpot with Paco. He has met several new people with the waggiest of little tails for everyone. He is learning simple commands already. He is still not on the loose as we are keeping him safe until he gets all of his shots. We are learning what works and trying to be consistent. This puppy is proving to be very adaptable. He does have his moments, but so far time-outs have proven to settle him down. In two weeks, he meets the grandchildren. We are sure they will be lifelong pals for Paco. She is the obliging passenger on the imaginary bus, comes along for the ride on the kayak and will play fetch or chase whenever the boys ask her to. She loves to join us for great long hikes and, despite being a tiny, will keep up with us and walk the distance. In the summer, she loves the water and will play on the beach or swim in the lake. At puppy daycare she always finds a best friend to snuggle with, but will get right in and play with the others regardless of size. Her best friend is a large dog five times her weight. Both of these puppies have had training by our in-house trainer, Lucas. Bella loves neighborhood walks, hiking, Frisbee, a good game of fetch, and swimming. She is so personable with everyone of all ages. She visits with me in an extend-a-care facility and just seems to sense when she needs to be gentle. It is difficult to have a walk without being stopped on the street to be told how cute she is. Bella house-trained very quickly and easily learned obedience commands. She has a very high energy level but that affords her the ability to enjoy the active lifestyle that we lead. She is never far from her owner and enjoys car rides, vacationing or just hanging out. Bella gets professionally groomed about every five weeks to prevent matting and then only requires a quick daily brushing. It also makes it easier when she spends a great deal of time outside hiking, swimming and playing in the snow. She does not shed with the exception of some hair in the brush when she is groomed. Bella has experienced zero health issues. She has so many goofy facial expressions and mannerisms that just make you happy all the time. She loves to snuggle and follows me everywhere. We love our little fur ball. My hubby never thought he would want a smaller pup but Brittany has stolen his heart, too. She gets along great with children. Thank you, Sherry, for making our family complete! She is so precious! Although we were anxious to get her home, we decided it would be best for us to leave her for four weeks of imprinting. I am so thankful we did! The imprinter did an amazing job of establishing her crate-training schedule sleeping six hours from night one at home and got her basic commands up and running! She adores her toys and is already starting to play fetch. She is very curious about the world around her, taking every opportunity to chase butterflies, watch the birds, or sit and observe cars and people passing by. She is such a delight! We had never before seen a breeder so well loved, respected and trusted. Nor an entrepreneur willing to be so open and honest as to let a social media community of thousands discuss the good, the bad, the great, the ugly about their SwissRidge dogs. The forum of support that Sherry had created and allowed to flow for the benefit of her clients was simply amazing to us. Our family decided that a dog from Sherry was worth the investment, especially since we were looking for a lifetime family member. That decided…deposit in …. This is crazy talk!! AND we have to drool over the pictures as they are updated with no clue which one we are getting?? Have I entered the twilight zone?? Although this approach at first seems ridiculous, it quickly became clear that there was a method to the perceived madness…temperament testing and family matching. All I can say is that Sherry indeed has the magical touch when matching puppies to families. We have kept in touch with the other families in our litter and I can confidently report that each pup is indeed the best match for each family! Crazy, right? Fenway was 2. Right from the beginning she was a positive bundle of energy. She loved her crate, was not much of a nipper, and potty trained within a week. She is the social butterfly of any group and makes friends with all dogs. Her boyfriend at school is a three-year-old German shepherd. She is confident, cuddly, super intelligent and obsessed with balls and toys. She also works with me as a volunteer therapy dog through the Burlington Humane Society. Her disposition of being social and confident lends her well for this important position. You were absolutely correct in your book about all of the puppy phases and attention a puppy needs — I referred to it often. Finn is a great dog — happy, curious, funny, sweet — all of the attributes we wanted! We love watching him learn and grow. Finn is our boat dog and his favorite place is out on the dock with my husband or even better, in the boat fishing. He enjoys the breeze when we are up and running and is right there when we catch a fish! He can launch about halfway across! He is particularly fond of the 3 year old and she loves walking him on his leash around the backyard. She can tell him to sit and stay and he will do it! It is so cute to watch their friendship and innocence. We leave the crate door open at night, but he prefers to sleep with his pack in bed! He just wants to be touching us somewhere! Thank you for your excellence in breeding such a fantastic pup! She weighs 8. Harley gets along incredibly well with other dogs. She lights up our life on a daily basis. Our experience with Sherry was and is amazing. Bo was a surprise birthday present a year ago and he was by far the best birthday present I could have ever received. Bo has a huge personality for a little 10 lb. He absolutely loves people, especially kids, but also loves every dog he sees. He loves walks and runs and hates being wet. Bo is also a great travel companion on airplanes with no issues at all. Bo completes our family for now but we definitely want a second doodle down the road and would choose none other than a SwissRidge. Sherry is one of the most calm, helpful and smart people I know, which was extremely helpful for me as a first time dog owner. Around 6 months old, Bo developed a prolapsed urethra and required surgery to fix the problem. Throughout the whole process, Sherry stayed very involved and wanted to help in any way.

However, these Bernedoodles are much more difficult to take care of, so be wary of that! Wavy Coat — Most F1 Bernedoodles have a wavy fur which requires daily brushing, and it occasionally leaves loose hair around. Pups that have this type of fur bring more health benefits to the table, while also being less demanding to take care of. When Do Bernedoodles Shed Their Puppy Coat As soon as the Bernedoodle puppy reaches nine months of age, it starts to lose its baby coat and begins its regular hair growing process. Remember that you have many options to choose from and it depends solely on your preferences. How to Reduce Shedding If your pup does end up shedding more than usual, you can follow some simple tips to ease your troubles. Regular brushing — Prevent loose hairs from falling everywhere, while also putting an end to matting and tangling by brushing your Bernedoodle every few days. Medicine for dog allergies — Allergies can cause dry skin, and in turn increase shedding. Use upholstery covers — Upholstery covers are easy to clean and save you a lot of time that you would usually spend dealing with loose puppy hairs. Conclusion So, do these dogs shed? The answer is that it depends on the individual pup and several other factors. In general, bernedoodles are not considered a high-shedding breed. If you are concerned about Bernedoodle shedding, be sure to ask the breeder about the coat type of the puppy you are interested in and whether or not the dog has been neutered. Do F1 Bernedoodles shed? Are Bernedoodles hypoallergenic? Do Bernedoodles shed more than goldendoodles? Not really. Both of bernedoodles and goldendoodles are known for their lack of shedding. If this factor is an important one for you, then picking one of these breeds is definitely a good idea. And the reason for this is that, while one of its parents the Bernese Mountain Dog is a very heavy shedder , its other parent the Poodle is one of the lowest shedders in dogdom. That said, the amount of fur this breed drops ultimately depends on its lineage. But as a general rule, the more Poodle the breed has in its genes, the lower the shedding. And as a general rule, the more Poodle your Bernedoodle is, the less hair you should see floating around the home. This is because Bernese Mountain Dogs are, without exaggerating, one of the heaviest shedding dogs in the world. In contrast, Poodles are about as close to non-shedding as it gets, which is one of the reasons why so many dogs are crossbred with Poodles. So, what do they mean? And what impact does this have on shedding? This variety is considered low shedding. F1BB Bernedoodle: This breed consists of .There are other variants of the Bernedoodle, but those are the main ones. But both are low shedders overall. In any case, the main thing to remember is that the more Poodle-like the Bernedoodle is, the less likely it will be to shed heavily. Recommended: Go here to see our top-rated vacuums for dog hair and dander Other Factors That Can Contribute to Shedding The reality is that all dogs shed. The difference is how much each breed sheds, which is largely determined by the individual breed and its hair growth cycle. There are also several specific things to the Bernedoodle that can make a big difference in how much hair you will end up finding on your floors, furniture, and clothing. And they are its coat type, the size of the Bernedoodle, and whether it has a single or double coat. This coat can be more challenging and time-consuming to groom but will likely shed less because it means the Bernedoodle likely takes more after the low-shedding Poodle. Also, the dead hairs are more easily trapped in a curly coat, so the hair tends to come out more during brushing instead of falling onto the floors. On the other hand, Bernedoodles with a straight coat tend to take more after the high-shedding Bernese Mountain Dog. And therefore, small dogs will drop less hair than large dogs. Regarding Bernedoodles, they come in three sizes: tiny, miniature, and standard. This is thanks to their Poodle genes as Poodles come in toy, mini, or standard, whereas Bernese Mountain Dogs come in one size: large. As a side note, this is another reason why some prefer adopting a Bernedoodle to a purebred Bernese Mountain Dog; Bernedoodles can be a lot smaller depending on the parents. Single v. Double Coated Bernedoodles Other than having curly hair, one of the defining traits of a Poodle is that it has a single coat, which means that it only has one layer of fur. In contrast, Bernese Mountain Dogs are double-coated. This means it has two coats: an outer layer of fur that is longer and a thick, wooly undercoat. And the reason for this is that they are naturally preparing for the change of season. And in the lead-up to winter, they will blow coat and grow back a thicker, warmer coat. As I mentioned earlier, the general rule is that the lowest-shedding Bernedoodle is always the one with the highest percentage of Poodle in its genes because, unlike Bernese Mountain Dogs, Poodles are very low-shedding. But once you go beyond the F1BB, it kind of defeats the purpose of adopting a Bernedoodle in the first place because the dog would have almost no Bernese Mountain Dog in it by that point. For example, the Goldendoodle is another popular doodle crossbreed, which is a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. So the Goldendoodle may shed a bit less than an F1 Bernedoodle. However, an F1B Bernedoodle will typically shed less than an F1 Goldendoodle as the former has more Poodle in its genes. Some Bernedoodles are considered hypoallergenic, which means they may be better suited to people with pet allergies. However, there are some important caveats here. First and foremost, no dog is truly hypoallergenic , so all dogs even hairless varieties have the potential to cause problems for those with pet allergies. That said, some dogs are more allergy-friendly than others. And this tends to be dogs that shed less hair because dander attaches itself to dead fur. Whereas, since Bernese Mountain Dogs are heavy shedding dogs that produce lots of dander, they are the exact opposite of a hypoallergenic breed. So it all depends on the individual Bernedoodle. In general, a Bernedoodle will be less hypoallergenic than a Poodle and more hypoallergenic than a Bernese Mountain Dog. The single best way to reduce shedding is to brush your Bernedoodle regularly. Which brush should you use? In general, a slicker brush, metal comb, or pin brush can work well for both Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs. So any one of these can serve as a good all-round brush for your Bernedoodle. So I recommend checking that out if you want to know more. Ideally, brushing every day or every other day is optimal. Does bathing help? Bathing your dog once a month with a good quality dog shampoo can make a world of difference, especially if you finish that routine with a blow dry and thorough brush. Be sure to use an appropriate shampoo, though. What about trimming? This is because Poodle coats can get knotted and tangled, and debris can get caught up in the curls, so trimming can make life easier. And this is especially true if your Bernedoodle has a double coat. It is not recommended to remove this because this is what helps insulate your dog in both hot and cold weather. What else can you do to reduce shedding? Assuming you have a solid grooming routine in place, one other effective way to limit how much fur your Bernedoodle drops is to ensure its diet is optimal. Not to mention, there are some natural shedding supplements that can be beneficial, too. For example, the increase in shedding may be because your Bernedoodle is losing its puppy coat which tends to happen at 9-to months of age , it could be blowing coat due to the change of season, or you may simply have a predominately Bernese Mountain Dog variety. However, things like allergies, fleas, and numerous health-related issues can cause dogs to shed excessively. So if you have any doubts at all, it may be best to contact a veterinarian.

And as for Bernese Mountain Dogs, this adorable, friendly giant makes for an excellent family companion, given their affectionate nature. The only drawback is that the latter breed sheds a lot. With a Bernedoodle, not only do you get an awesome companion the whole family will love, but you can spend more time relaxing and less time cleaning up loose fur! Do you have a Bernedoodle? If so, how much does it shed? And what has been your experience with grooming? Let us know in the comments section below. But what is it about their coats that make them so special? Do Bernedoodles Shed? Bernedoodles are known for being a low-shed to no-shed breed. Their minimal shedding makes them a very allergy-friendly breed. Bernedoodle Coat Types Bernedoodle coats can vary in thickness, consistency, and color. In an F1 first generation breeding, you might get a puppy with a coat that looks more similar to a Poodle and get another puppy with a coat just like a Bernese. As a breeder begins to breed this first generation of Bernedoodles with other Bernedoodles, they are able to achieve more consistency and predictable traits shed level, color, size. Their coats can have a various range of colors as well. Some might be black and white while others may be black and brown or even solid black. This coat most resembles the coat of the Bernese. Some may even have a few other colors thrown in here and there. Generally, when an individual is looking to buy a Bernedoodle, the type of coat takes precedence over the coat color. Thicker hair will help them survive cold winters better while also giving them protection from the heat of summer. This is also something aspiring Bernedoodle owners consider when choosing a puppy. Bernedoodles usually come in one of three coat types: straight, wavy and curly. This coat is very free-flowing and often has a kinked or wavy appearance. The curls on this coat are usually tight with a soft texture much like what you would see on a Poodle. Curly coats may still shed, but they shed the hair upon themselves rather than on your floor. Unfortunately, this shedding upon themselves is what makes it necessary for them to be brushed daily and trimmed frequently. The curly coat Bernedoodle is usually the most suitable for owners who have an allergy to dog dander. This usually amounts to times per week. They also need to be professionally groomed every weeks to keep their paws, eyes, and private areas maintained. What About Allergies? Are They Hypoallergenic? No dog is truly non-allergenic. In the case of Bernedoodles, they are allergy-friendly because of their single coat. While all coats types are considered to be allergy-friendly, the curly coat is considered to be ideal for severe allergy sufferers. The reason is that, as stated above, no dog is non-allergenic, and the reason for this is that there is no dog that does not produce an allergic response of some kind. This is what makes allergic people miserable. Every breed of dog carries a different amount of these allergy-provoking proteins. The seborrheic level is the level of oil the dog produces. Certain oily-haired dogs, such as Labrador Retrievers, carry a large amount of these proteins. The less amount of oil a dog has in its skin, the less dander it will produce. Since the poodles are one of the least oily breeds of dog, Doodles and other dogs created by using Poodles are going to be more hypoallergenic and have fewer body odors. Therefore, Bernedoodles are more allergy-friendly. Most dogs have two coats: an undercoat and an overcoat. The undercoat, which is a softer coat, acts as an insulation to keep the dog warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The overcoat, a slightly more course topcoat, has stiff hairs that shield it from dirt or debris and repel water and moisture. Bernedoodles do not have the two coats. Bernedoodle puppies should be brushed regularly regardless of the coat type, although, curly coats will require brushing a little more frequently. When the Bernedoodle gets about nine months of age, he will start losing the coat a little by little. Related Questions Do Bernedoodles need to be brushed often? Because Bernedoodles shed so little, they should be brushed regularly, but the frequency of brushing can be determined on the type of coat. Curly coats will need to be brushed on an almost daily basis while straight coats can get by with being brushed only a couple of times a week. Do Bernedoodles mat easily like the other Doodle dogs? Bernedoodles do have a tendency to become matted if they are not brushed regularly. This is particularly true with Bernedoodles who have the curly coat. The curlier the coat, the more likely it is to become matted if not brushed. Can coat type be determined through breeding? Coat type absolutely can be determined through breeding. If the breeder is experienced, he or she can determine exactly what kind of a coat the litter will have based on which sire and dam are being used for the breeding and past genetics. This is where F1, F2, F3, and multigenerational breeding comes in handy. Conclusion With so many wonderful dogs out there, one would often wonder why aspiring dog owners would choose a mixed breed dog like the Bernedoodle. Related Posts:.
I recently reserved an English bulldog puppy. He was born 4 days premature by C-Section and has 7 other littermates. His mother is a red and white, kc registered family pet and his father is a kc registered red and white stud dog who participates in shows. My puppy opened his eyes around 2 weeks old and started walking around 3 weeks old. Fast forward to now, he is 6 weeks old tomorrow. When we saw a video of him walking at 3 weeks old, he seemed to have some weakness in his back legs but we passed it off as normal because he had only just started trying to walk. His siblings seem to have some leg issues too. Another pup in the same video had one leg that seemed to go out to the side, as if stretching. They walk on wooden floor and the grass outside. They are being weaned onto puppy food and are drinking from a bowl etc. Everything else with my puppy is fine, his eating and drinking habits, his toiletry habits etc. They are all booked in to see the vet on Monday and then I am viewing my pup on Tuesday. I am just looking for some piece of mind. Should I be concerned about his legs? Is this true? Any help or advice is welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Not all mini Goldendoodles are equal, there are a few different versions to choose from each having a little different genetic background based on the pups parents. We will explain all the differences in Mini Goldendoodle puppies and how they are bred below. We raise all versions of the mini goldendoodle breed. F1 Mini Goldendoodle Pups. A F1 puppy is also known as a First Generation puppy. The puppies mother is a Golden Retriever and the pups dad is a Mini Poodle. This version of mini goldendoodle usually has soft wavy or curly puppy fur. They will shed until they lose their puppy fur, after shedding they will shed a lot less, but will shed. This version is partially hypoallergenic and usually requires low maintenance. F1 mini goldendoodles usually need to be groomed every 6 months along with daily brushing to keep their curly hair from matting and getting tangled. The dogs usually grow up having great temperaments similar to golden retrievers. They usually get about inches high at the shoulder and range in weight from pounds. F1b Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1b is known as a second-generation mini goldendoodle with the pups mother being already an F1 Goldendoodle and the pups dad being a mini poodle also. So the difference between F1 and F1b is that the mom is not a golden retriever but an actual F1 Goldendoodle. They also have very soft curly hair but with almost no shedding. This F1b version is semi-hypoallergenic and a better choice for anyone who has pet allergies. The F1b also should be brushed on a daily basis but will need to be groomed more frequently then a F1. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is recommended to keep their coat in perfect condition. F1b Mini goldendoodles get around 18 to 20 inches tall at the shoulders and range between pounds in weight. F1bb Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1bb goldendoodle is also known as a third-generation mini goldendoodle. This mini goldendoodle version has a coat more similar to a poodle than of a golden retriever. This is because the pup is more of a poodle than a retriever. Making it the very best version for anyone with pet allergies. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is required to help prevent knots or matting. This version is super intelligent and loving, and usually seems to have more energy than the other versions of Mini goldendoodles. This version is usually smaller in size, weighing around pounds and only getting inches tall at the shoulders. The smaller size makes them a great size for smaller homes and apartments.

These sizes reflect the weight and height, from the smallest to the biggest. Speaking of temperament, we need to look at the following question before we go any further… Are Pitbulls Aggressive? Yes, and no! To answer the question fully, we need to look to the past. The Pitbull breeds were originally created for fighting, so aggression was encouraged. However, these dogs were also bred to be loyal and affectionate towards their owners. All Pitbull breeds are descended from the Old English Bulldog, which is now extinct. Bulldogs were created for the bloodsport of bull-baiting, where bulls were placed in a ring while dogs attacked them. Some were forced to fight against each other. Some were placed in pits where they had to catch and kill as many rats as possible. The pit that was used for fighting is where the Pit Bull name came from, as new breeds based on the Bulldog were created for these bloodthirsty pastimes. These were Pit Bull Dogs, shortened to Pitbull over the years. Why is all this relevant? Because these dogs had to be aggressive if they wanted to survive, and large amounts of money were at stake. They possessed a trait known as gameness, which gave them the instinct to fight to win or to die in the attempt. Eventually, dogfighting was also outlawed in most places, but continued illegally as it does today, unfortunately. However, as these dogs began to be bred as companions rather than for fighting, their gentler nature emerged. The vast majority of Pitbulls today have, thankfully, never seen a fighting pit and never will. They have been used as working dogs on farms, especially across the U. Are they aggressive? Well, they have the potential to be aggressive, as do most dogs. Any dog that is fearful, in pain, feels threatened, or has been abused may show aggression at some point. Pitbulls from fighting lines, that is, one or both parents were bred for fighting, will certainly be more predisposed towards aggression. However, Pitbull pups from an ethical, responsible, and reputable breeder will be far less likely to be. A well-adjusted, properly trained, and socialized Pitbull is a joy to behold and a pleasure to be around. So, are Pitbulls aggressive? In the past, they definitely were. Some still are today, but these are unfortunate creatures that were either bred for fighting or mistreated and in pain. This has a bearing on our Pitbull Poodle mix, as many of you will understandably be keen to know whether this unique designer dog might also be aggressive. Photo from: wild. Some people call it the Pit Boodle, or simply the Boodle. Others use the name Pitbull Poo, or the Pitdoodle. Which one is your favorite? Can you think of another? Pit Boodle seems to be the most popular at present, though whether this remains the case is yet to be seen. In the future, it may be that some of these breeds become established and accepted as purebred dogs. Photo from: rubythundr Without a doubt, the Pit Boodle makes an amazing family companion. She has the strength, loyalty, and affection of the Pittie, and the intelligence and humor of the Poodle. Will she be aggressive? This depends on how you treat her! Dog aggression towards humans is almost always a result of bad treatment. True dog lovers rarely have a problem with aggressive dogs. She might sneak off to find a quiet place on the 4th of July or any other occasion when fireworks are being set off. Looking for a kid-friendly dog? Then, the Pitbull Poodle mix might be the one for you, as they adore being around young children. Her lively, energetic nature, and her ability to form strong bonds with family members very quickly make her an ideal family dog, even for first-time dog owners. You should always use positive reinforcement when training, as this brings the best results. This breed will not respond well to harsh words and shouts. The curly Poodle coat tends to be a looser curl, making it easier to brush out the loose hair. A good family pet? Pitbull Poodle Mix Breeders Photo from: mylittlefurfamily One of the most important aspects of getting a puppy is the place where you buy it. You must be certain that the parent dogs have been cared for and kept in good conditions. Look for a small-scale, local breeder if possible. Visit them and ask if you can take a look around the kennels. Ask lots of questions, and check whether they have health screening and a health guarantee. Be prepared to answer any question about your home and lifestyle, as a good breeder will want to know where their precious pups are going! Avoid buying online at all costs. This is a major outlet for puppy mills, where dogs are produced simply to make money. Pet stores and backyard breeders are also best avoided for the same reasons. You should steer clear of anyone who plays on the fact that a dog is rare, as they are using this to justify charging more. Check out reviews for breeders online to see what ordinary people have to say about them. Take your time about it, and never be rushed into making a decision! Pitbull Poodle Mix Adoption One way to avoid breeders and potential puppy mills altogether is to head down to your local rescue center or dog shelter. Fees are usually higher if they include things like spaying and neutering, vaccinations, etc. This is because selective breeding in purebred dogs, sometimes over hundreds of years, has narrowed the gene pool, resulting in a range of genetic defects. Mixing two breeds sometimes avoids this by injecting fresh genes into the hybrid pups, making them much healthier than their purebred cousins. Even so, there is still a possibility that your Pitbull Poodle mix might suffer from some of the following conditions: Hip dysplasia — A malformed hip joint that makes it painful for the dog to walk. Ear infections — These are common in most dog breeds, especially those with floppy ears. Ear wax can build up and dirt gets stuck inside the ear canal. This provides a warm, moist environment for bacteria to thrive in, leading to infections. Heart disease — This one is always a cause for concern! There are several different types of heart disease, but Toy Poodles and Miniature Poodles are particularly prone to dilated cardiomyopathy the heart becomes enlarged, thin, and weak, and is unable to pump the blood properly. In Pitties, the main heart problem is aortic stenosis. Dogs with this condition have a narrow aorta, meaning that the heart has to work harder. It is treatable, but can lead to heart failure. Obesity — Extra weight puts strain on the heart and joints. It can also lead to diabetes and cancer. Obesity often happens in old age, when dogs are less active but still eating the same amount of food as they did when they were younger and fitter. It is always best to feed your dog the appropriate amount of food according to its age and activity level. The Pitbull Poodle mix has a lifespan of between 9 and 15 years. Why is there such a big difference? Small dogs generally live longer than big dogs, so the hybrids that use the Miniature and Toy Poodles will probably live longer. The larger Pitbulls, such as the American Pitbull Terrier and the American Bully, account for the lower end of the scale, as they can be pretty big dogs. These two breeds have a lifespan of between 8 and 12 years. So, how can you make sure that your Pit Boodle sticks around for at least 15 years? First, find a good breeder! As we mentioned above in the section about breeders and several times elsewhere! Second, you need to feed your pup good-quality dog food , only give it healthy treats, and make sure that it has plenty of exercise. You should also take it for regular check-ups at the vet, as this will help to identify any potential problems early. Nevertheless, you need to remember the general rule that the bigger the dog, the shorter its lifespan. Pitbull Poodle Mix Price Photo from: mylittlefurfamily This is a rare crossbreed, which may affect the price. All of these factors will affect the final price! This means that any price we suggest here will be a rough estimate based on the limited information available. This proves the point that many factors influence the price of puppies, but you should never be tempted to go for the cheapest option without thoroughly checking out the breeder. A pup that is sold at a bargain price may not be healthy, which is why the seller wants a quick sale. However, someone could try to sell you a puppy at a premium price to trick you into believing that it is of the best quality. Sadly, there are too many unscrupulous people out there. Shop around, do your homework, and keep your wits about you. Some people say it is, others disagree! To be fair, both may be right. It all depends on which particular breeds are involved and which genes are dominant in the offspring. In many cases, a Pit Boodle has a curly coat like the Poodle parent, which is famous for its hypoallergenic qualities. Then again, the pup may favor the Pitbull side, with its short, smooth coat type — although this is quite rare. We also need to keep in mind that hypoallergenic simply means that the dog is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than some other breeds. In Summary Photo from: dogsoffleashes Who would have thought that you could mix the Poodle and the Pitbull? But, is this the doggy friend of your dreams? Its appearance will vary depending on which size of Poodle and which Pitbull breed was used. It could be as small as 15 inches or as tall as 24 inches. It could weigh as little as 30 pounds or as much as 70 or even 80 pounds. This dog will need at least 45 minutes of exercise each day, as well as some quality playtime. It is great with kids, especially after being properly socialized. Your Pit Boodle will probably have a dense, smooth coat that could be black, blue, gray, fawn, silver, cream, brown, cafe-au-lait, or brindle. If you do find that it becomes too much for you, try using a professional groomer. This is a good idea once in a while anyway, as it keeps your dog looking in top condition. It sounds like an unlikely combination, but the Pitbull Poodle mix is already making waves, and it looks like it might become popular. Fans of traditional breeds are fearful that hybrids will make purebred dogs extinct. It has to be said that this is a real possibility in some cases, as trends and fashions change. The main issue here is that whatever breeds are available, they are healthy, loved, and cared for. Related Links:. Brush their teeth regularly even if chewable treats are given and take them to the vet from time to time to ensure that your health habits are checked and okay for your pitbull poodle mix. If you give your dog table food, chances are, it will develop illnesses brought about by human food. Opt to stick to dog food pellets, soft meat, etc. Bloating: this is a common thing among different breeds. Bloating leads to gastric dilatation-volvulus if not addressed immediately and may lead to death. Hip dysplasia: Poodles are prone to have joint dysplasia most commonly in the hip and pelvic area. This occurrence happens when joints pop out of the socket, causing immense pain for the hybrid. Pitbull Crossed With Poodle Food Requirements Make it a point to ensure and prioritize the type of food you allow your dog to eat because this will significantly affect its longevity of life and health status. Take note of the size and needs of each breed it came from so you may plan a specific diet for your hybrid. Treats are good for training as well but refrain from making it a daily habit to lessen weight gain. Make sure you choose snacks that have low caloric content. Take note of the nutrients needed to ensure a proper diet. Always choose foods that are rich in protein, as they are high energy dogs. Make sure to avoid typical dog allergens such as wheat, corn, and potatoes. Your dog might be prone to skin diseases as well, and its best to strictly follow feeding instructions. If you look hard enough, the market offers a lot of high-quality foods you can give your pitbull poodle mix. Instinct takes pride in improving the coat of any dog that stays on their dog food for a while. High-energy dogs will surely benefit from all the protein this brand gives. It also contains oat fiber for proper digestion, and dried cranberries, blueberries, and spinach as antioxidants. It includes chicken, fish, and whitefish meal. Antioxidants such as Vitamin E, beta carotene, fruits, and vegetables are incorporated to boost the immune system. Oatmeal, barley, brown rice, and rye are included to promote digestion and L-carnitine for fat burning. Their product has natural microorganisms to help aid digestion in line with the incorporation of lentils as a fiber source. Considering that your gorgeous mixed breed is a medium-size dog, you can offer them either the best dry dog food for small dogs or the best large breed dry dog food — it may surprise you to find out which parent they take their taste for food after! Whichever brand you settle on, make sure that it is only the best dry dog food kind as going for the worst dry dog food may have dire consequences on the overall health of your pooch. Pitbull Poodles Exercise Requirements Your boodle is a product of two very different breeds: one is highly active, and the other focuses more on the intellectual aspect so it would be best to choose equipment or toys that can exercise them physically, as well as train their minds and awaken their sensitivity. Make sure you schedule play time with your dogs, whether its walking or running or playing in the park to ensure that they have a healthy lifestyle. You can also incorporate exercise in your home. Try playing hide and seek or fetch in your backyard, anything to keep your dog going and panting. Physical and mental exercises are essential to avoid putting your boodle in an idle state, which can lead to depression, boredom, and destruction. Try your best to plan any form of activity that will keep your pups active physically and mentally. To improve your exercise regimen, here are some toys you can purchase: Canine Hardware Chuckit! Classic Launchers: This is perfect for the non-athletic, stay at home type of owners. This product is also ideal for the energetic side of your hybrid, without giving you the sore arm from repeatedly throwing the ball. FluffyPal Chew Toys For Puppies Small Dogs And Medium Dogs: This product is an all-in-one type because it can be a teething toy which can remove tartar, a potential favorite toy, and it also has a vanilla scent to counter any dog drool smell. Not only does it exercise your hybrid, but it also teaches it about rewards and positive outcomes when they follow a command. Hear Doggy! With the balanced need for exercise, you can choose to specify activities that will enhance their physical and mental abilities. Make sure you have enough space for them to run around and play. So this can be a bit of a challenge because you need to exercise both aspects. Pit bulls tend to exercise wanting the alpha position, which needs training that involves firmness, confidence, and a strong will. A poodle is an intelligent type and will be a bit challenging to train, so they need more patience and understanding. Always start training once you establish what you want and need for your pup. Train your puppies before reaching a year old, starting from simple commands until more difficult ones. Here are tips to make training easier for your boodle: Plan What You Want To Teach: To avoid confusion for your dog, make sure you have a plan as to what commands you want your dog to learn. Schedule Shorter Sessions: The reason for this is to have a higher attention span. If you think long sessions bore your hybrid, cut them down to at least 30 minutes to an hour to ensure, you have their full attention. Practice Positive Reinforcement: a poodle is an intelligent breed, and they remember when you praise them for doing something right. They tend to be shy and aggressive towards new people, which might be the case for your boodle. You can visit the vet and ask for tips, or you can bring them to the park until they familiarize themselves with different people and dogs as well. Potty Training: This is an essential type of training for almost all dogs. It saves you effort and money, and it also lessens the stress of accidentally stepping on unwanted stuff. Throughout history, pit bulls are known and recognized as dangerous and aggressive. On the other hand, poodles require mental stimulation and constant socialization. A mix of the two breeds will still require socialization training. Your pitbull poodle mix can be stubborn at times, but they are also easy to train. Make it a habit to remind family members that your dog needs to exercise, so that you can take turns as to who will take the dog out for a walk. Having a big space is ideal for the energetic side of your dog. Goldendoodles are a mix between Golden Retrievers and Poodles. All mixed breeds are unique, but the Goldendoodle and Pit Bull mix is genuinely one of a kind. Its parent breeds are vastly different in appearance, temperament, and size. The Pit Bull is stocky with thick muscles and a square, flat face. It has a short, bristly coat. The Goldendoodle is tall, long, and lean. It has a long, curly coat often defined by its shimmering gold or deep red color. Not only are both parent breeds different in size and appearance, but they also come from very different backgrounds. This is quite common for mixed breeds, especially Doodle breeds. Fortunately, the parent breeds of the Golden Pit Boodle have a rich history that stretches back hundreds of years. We can learn a lot about this new, unique mixed breed by learning about its ancestors. The breed originated in England in the s. As an intentional cross between a Terrier and a Bulldog, the Pit Bull was bred to be a fighter. Violent sports such as bull baiting and bear baiting were common amongst the poorer English communities. The country eventually banned the baiting of animals. Ratting was a sport in which rats were placed in a pit, and people would bet on how many rats a dog would be able to hunt and kill. The cross between a Terrier and Bulldog created a nimble, athletic, and ferocious dog. Pit Bulls helped hunt game and herd livestock in their early years in America. Pit Bulls were eventually introduced to the United States. Their skill and aggression made them the perfect fit for dog fighting. Pit Bulls had other roles in America as well. They helped hunters, farmers, and families. Their checkered past has lived on with them over the decades. Even though dog fighting is illegal in all 50 states, Pit Bulls still carry the reputation for fighting. Despite their reputation, Pit Bulls are friendly towards their family and children. If raised correctly, this strong-willed dog can be an excellent addition to any household. The American Kennel Club does not recognize Pit Bulls due to their historical affiliation with dog fighting. The breed was developed to be aggressive, but it has been proven that they can be pretty sweet given the proper training and environment. These bans affect living communities such as apartments and condos, but they can also affect cities, states, and countries. All this is to say that the Pit Bull comes with some baggage. I have met Pit Bulls and Pit-mixes that are gentle and sweet. My own Bernedoodle has played with these dogs plenty of times. Their aggressive nature can be overcome and is by no means a dominant trait for every dog of this breed. Goldendoodle It is believed that Goldendoodles were first bred by Monica Dickens, the great-granddaughter of the English author: Charles Dickens, in .The recognition of the Goldendoodle came about because of the success of the Labradoodle hybrid breed. Breeders started mixing Golden Retrievers and Poodles intentionally to create a similarly successful hybrid breed [1] rover. Goldendoodles have surged in popularity due to their sweet temperament and adorable looks. They inherit great qualities from both parent breeds: the Golden Retriever and the Poodle. At the time, hunting was becoming a trendy sport in Scotland and England. This particular mix was bred with the intent to aid hunters in the retrieval of waterfowl and upland hunting. Upland hunting refers to the hunting of upland game, which are non-waterfowl birds such as pheasants, quail, grouse, etc [2] orvis. Golden Retrievers are still used in hunting but have become one of the most popular household pets in the United States and the world. Their sweet-temperament intelligence makes them a great choice to be used as a service dog, guide dog, or therapy dog. Poodle Poodle originated in Germany in the s. They were bred to be waterfowl hunters. The iconic Poodle cut was developed to give the breed versatility while keeping warm in the frigid European rivers and lakes. Often mistaken as French natives, these water dogs gained popularity across Europe for their athleticism and intelligence. The standard Poodle was eventually bred down in size to create the Miniature Poodle. The Mini Poodle was used as a circus dog in some parts of Europe. Once the Poodle was introduced to America, it was bred down further to create the Toy Poodle. The Toy Poodle was ideal for city dwellers since they were small and easy to carry around. As one of the most intelligent dog breeds, the Poodle, of all sizes, has enjoyed popularity worldwide. Appearance The appearance of the Goldendoodle-Pit Bull mix varies on a few different factors. The most significant factor will be the parents of the litter. The parents will be the best way to determine the size and appearance of the puppies. A male Goldendoodle could be used as the stud, or a male Pit Bull could be used as the stud. The same is true for the mother of the litter, or dam. The generation of Goldendoodle that is used for breeding will affect both size and appearance. For example, an F2 Goldendoodle might produce a litter that has more wavy or curly hair. Goldendoodles also come in different sizes based on the size of the Poodle parent. Without going further, you can see that the parents will determine the size of a Golden Pit Boodle. For this section, I will assume the appearance and size of a standard Golden Pit Boodle. Most often, Doodle dogs will have inherited curly or wavy hair from the Poodle. In this case, the Golden Pit Boodle coat is medium-length with curls or waves. The Goldendoodle has a long, curly coat. The Pit Bull has a short, glossy coat. On rare occasions the Pit Bull can have a long coat — which is called a fluffy Pit Bull. The mix of the two creates a medium coat that is wavy or curly. Coat Colors.

In fact over millions of years, magnetic north wanders considerably and occasionally reverses so that the magnetic north pole has been near the geographic south pole at some periods in the earth's history.

Life Span Did You Know? The German Shepherd is one of the most versatile, well-recognized, and popular dog breeds in the world. The modern German Shepherd is descended from a family of various German herding dogs. Breed standards were not developed until the late 19th century when Captain Max von Stephanitz, a German cavalry officer, worked with Arthur Meyer and other breeders to develop the ideal German herding dog. Stephanitz and Meyer wrote the breed standard in and the American Kennel Club recognized the German Shepherd as a member of the Herding Group in .Although they were originally bred as herding dogs, they were also bred for versatility, which made the German Shepherd an all-around working dog that could excel in a variety of applications. German Shepherds are one of the common dog breeds employed in K-9 units in both police and military applications. They also make great service dogs and, of course, are still awesome herding dogs and farm dogs! The German Shepherd is a strong-willed and highly intelligent dog. They have a playful, energetic spirit and tend to get along with children, other dogs, and other pets, which makes them a great family companion. A born protector, the German Shepherd will provide a great sense of security for their family while their loving and lively personality will make them fit right in as a companion. German Shepherds are naturally protective and can be wary of strangers at first. A well-socialized German Shepherd will bark to alert you and tends to warm up to strangers once introduced. German Shepherds are dogs that were bred to herd and work. This, plus their high energy, makes them a better fit for homes with fenced yards where they can run. They can adapt well to larger apartments as long as plenty of time is dedicated to ensuring they get enough exercise, mental stimulation, and attention every day. A bored, ignored, or under-exercised German Shepherd can often become a destructive one. They also can be sensitive to their surroundings and large gatherings can be off-putting. With a longer coat, they tend to prefer cooler climates and are sensitive to heat. The German Shepherd is a generally healthy breed, but there are some potential health concerns and good breeding practices make a big difference. Potential health concerns to be aware of in a German Shepherd include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia , and degenerative myelopathy. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. So, make sure you are asking about the health and genetic history of both parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. As a barrel-chested breed, the German Shepherd is also at risk for bloat. While the German Shepherd is highly intelligent and highly trainable, they are generally not recommended for novice owners. If you are a novice dog owner, enroll in puppy training classes or enlist the help of a professional dog trainer; not just for your dog, but for yourself as well. Training assistance will help you grow in experience and build a strong bond between you and your German Shepherd puppy, which is essential. Also, the GSD has a thirst for training and fulfillment. They get bored easily and especially with repetition, so continued training with your German Shepherd throughout their life will be necessary. German Shepherds have a medium-to-long double coat. They will shed year-round and heavier as seasons change. Brushing a few times a week is usually sufficient; brushing daily is even better and your GSD will likely love you for it. Bathing is occasional on an as-needed basis. Ear checks weekly with careful cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. German Shepherds are high-energy working dogs. Not only do they require a lot of daily activity, but they also are a herding breed that was made to run, guard, and observe, so they need a job to do to be happy and healthy. Daily walks plus playtime, time to run, and other activities are usually enough for a GSD, but they will likely be up for more activity if you are. With their versatility and athleticism, you can try a lot of different activities when puppies finish growing and they are cleared for higher-impact things. A fully-grown German Shepherd usually stands inches tall and weighs pounds. German Shepherds generally live for years on average.

parti labradoodle puppies for sale california - Remember, prevention is key! Ensure your German Shepherd has access to fresh water at all times. Encourage regular hydration breaks during outdoor activities, take a portable dog water bottle with you when outdoors, and add moisture-rich foods to their diet. Follow a summer diet for your German Shepherd for extra hydration. Protect the paws! In the summer, surfaces can heat up quickly! Walk your dog earlier or later in the day to avoid paw burns. And follow a summer grooming routine for your German Shepherd to keep them healthy. Just like with any other climate adjustment, introduce them to the heat gradually so they have time to get used to it. As your German Shepherd gets used to the heat, you can slowly increase the length and intensity of walks. With time and gradual exposure, your pup will handle hot weather more safely in the heat of summer. While it might seem counterintuitive to leave their dense fur unshaved, the long guard hair and shorter downy coat serve as a critical cooling system in the heat and must remain intact to work efficiently. Instead of shaving your German Shepherd in summer, stick to a safer grooming routine: After swimming or water sports, use a gentle shampoo to wash away dirt and keep their skin healthy. Brush them at least 3 times a week but 4 to 5 times is better with a deshedding undercoat rake to remove as much dead fur as possible. Always check their paws after every walk for rocks, debris, or pad wear. Wash their paws and dry them off. Finally, rub in a skin soothing balm to keep their paws in healthy condition and prevent blisters from forming. This grooming routine in the summer keeps your German Shepherd feeling more comfortable in the heat without destroying their coats or removing their in-built air conditioning. Exercising Your German Shepherd in Hot Weather When the temperatures start to rise, it can be tempting to take your pup out for a long walk or run. Keep exercise indoors or in the cool of the evening or early morning. Find places to safely swim, or give your dog their own paddling pool. Focus on indoor enrichment , brain games for dogs , and mental stimulation. Most importantly, always carry a portable bottle of water for your German Shepherd that they can drink from easily. My walks have become less stressful since I bought a water bottle for my GSD to drink from. She quickly becomes hot even on our early morning walks, but the water helps her keep from overheating. Hot Weather Cooling Tips for German Shepherds German Shepherds require extra precautions during hot weather to prevent heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Follow these tips to keep your German Shepherd safe during hot weather: 1. Provide plenty of hydration. Always have fresh, cool water available for your German Shepherd to drink. Keep the environment cool. Ensure that your German Shepherd stays in a room with access to air conditioning or a fan. They need access to cool, shaded areas to rest. Limit physical exertion. Avoid taking your German Shepherd for walks or playing outdoors in hot weather. Instead, engage in boredom-busting activities when the weather is hot. Limit exercise outdoors when temperatures are 80 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Groom them regularly. Provide cooling aids. You can provide your German Shepherd with cooling aids, including cooling mats, cooling vests , and bandanas. These products help regulate body temperature and keep your dog cool. Avoid hot surfaces. When walking your German Shepherd in the heat, avoid hot surfaces like asphalt or pavement. Opt for grassy areas or walk in the early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler. Never leave your dog in the car. Cars can become incredibly hot quickly, even with windows open. This can be fatal for German Shepherds. With the windows open, heat stroke still happens! If you exercise your German Shepherd, prioritize early mornings or evenings when the temperature is cooler. Exercise indoors if possible, or in shaded areas. Plan activities for early morning or later evening when it is cooler. Watch their paw pads. Avoid taking them on the pavement or hot sand. Walk them on the grass or bring them to shaded areas with cooler surfaces. Consider using protective boots if necessary. Always check their paws after going outdoors for a walk and apply a paw balm to keep the skin from blistering. Watch for signs of overheating. Watch for signs of overheating, including heavy panting, excessive drooling, lethargy, and vomiting. If you suspect your dog is experiencing heat exhaustion or heatstroke, seek medical attention immediately! While they have a good heat tolerance of up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit your German Shepherd still must have ways to keep cool in the heat. How to Help a German Shepherd in Hot Weather: Give your dog plenty of fresh water Find shade outdoors for them Limit their exercise to early mornings and late evenings Deshed their thick coats regularly with an undercoat rake Provide cooling aids such as a cooling vests when outdoors Use a dog portable water bottle during your walks, especially for puppies Avoid hot surfaces and choose grass and shaded areas for walks Never, ever leave your dog in the car! Apply a soothing paw balm to prevent blisters Know the signs of heat stroke and get vet help immediately!

Should you notice your dog acting disoriented, begin to shiver during your walk, has difficulty walking, or is lethargic, it is time to get him home immediately. If left out in the cold too long, your GSD will become sluggish and ultimately unresponsive. Lasting injury or death can result from untreated hypothermia. Dogs love rolling around in the snow, and some breeds like Labradors love a dip in icy water. But if your dog gets wet, he will be more susceptible to hypothermia. As German Shepherds cannot tolerate the cold as well as the Great Pyrenees or Huskies who are acclimatized to colder temperatures, it is best to avoid winter water time. If your German Shepherd is hypothermic, you will need to warm him by: Getting him inside a warm place Wrapping him in blankets or coats warm these on a radiator first if you can Call your veterinarian Are German Shepherds Good in Hot Weather? For greater insight, check out this article, Can German Shepherds Overheat? Heat Tolerance Explained. German Shepherds, like all dogs, cool themselves through panting. Heat loss through sweating from the paw pads and nose is minimal. Nonetheless, panting loses its effectiveness as the temperature rises. On humid days, dogs must pant even more vigorously. Our dogs feel more uncomfortable on humid, steamy days, just like we do. Thicker coats, like that of the German Shepherd, decrease heat loss from the skin. Without proper attention, your dog may face heatstroke at higher temperatures than other dogs can tolerate. This clever multi-tiered fountain is the perfect size for German Shepherds. The free-flowing water lures your dog to drink more, and the continual water circulation keeps the water fresh and clean. Check out my German Shepherd, Willow, in the below photo. She loves sunbathing — but only for a few minutes! You should never shave your German Shepherd in the summer or at any time of year, for that matter. Your dog can also suffer from red and inflamed skin that becomes painful and easily irritated. Consistent exposure to direct sunlight is also associated with skin cancer. Besides, your dog is programmed to blow his undercoat shed heavily in summer to regulate airflow and enhance cooling. A shaved dog no longer has that cooling system and is more likely to suffer heatstroke. Signs of heatstroke in German Shepherds are: Vigorous panting or labored breathing Dehydration and deep red gums Trembling, disorientation, or seizures Salivating or foaming at the mouth Vomiting and bloody diarrhea Collapse or unconsciousness If you notice these signs in your dog, get him to a shaded and cooler temperature. Pour cool tap water not cold to avoid shock over your dog and let him drink small amounts of cool water. Towels can be placed beneath him in minor cases, and consult your vet. On hot days, walk your dog early morning and late evening when it is cooler. I get my German Shepherd out at 6. I usually take Willow to a nearby wood where the trees shade her. I also take a dog water bottle like the Tuff Pupper PupFlask from Amazon to ensure I always have emergency hydration when my dog needs it. This flask is a great size, is quick and easy to use, and has a cool reversible leaf-shaped bowl that lays flat over the bottle when not in use. My German Shepherd Willow cooling off in the river. Senior German Shepherds and Temperature German Shepherds become more sensitive to hot and cold weather as they age as they have a reduced capacity to maintain their body temperature. Temperatures your dog enjoyed while young may be too much for them as a senior. Dogs lose the ability to control their body temperature as they age. They are more vulnerable to hypothermia in the winter and heatstroke in the summer. Additionally, if your senior GSD develops arthritis common in older dogs , they will feel discomfort during cold or damp weather. The more sedentary senior lifestyle also means many older dogs are prone to weight gain. An obese dog is at greater risk of heat stroke and heart conditions. German Shepherd Puppies and Temperature German Shepherd puppies are more sensitive to temperature due to their smaller size. GSD puppies have boundless energy. If given a chance, they will play in the sun until they overheat. While puppies love playing and rolling around in the snow, they can quickly start to shiver if exposed to the cold for too long. You will need to watch your pup closely and get him warm at the first signs of hypothermia. Final Thoughts German Shepherds can tolerate high or low temperatures for a short while but will do better in cool to moderately warm weather due to their thick double coat. Ensure your dog has plenty of water when it is hot, and look out for shivering when the temperature drops. While you can keep your German Shepherd in an outside kennel in a temperate climate, your dog will be much happier indoors with the family. The ideal temperature for a German Shepherd and the perfect environment is in your house. Related Posts You May Like:. Breed Info One of the reasons why German Shepherds became among the most popular breeds in the world is that they can tolerate all sorts of climates. In fact, early GSDs were bred to herd sheep even in intensely cold weather. Do German Shepherds Get Cold? Just like any other breed, German Shepherds do get cold. But thanks to their robust bodies and double coats, they tolerate low temperatures better than most breeds. In fact, many GSDs love playing in snow. Whereas, the outer coat act as guard hairs to repel moisture and keep the cold from reaching the body. It is important to note, however, that the density of undercoats differ between individual dogs. Body Structure German Shepherds have robust bodies that allow them to stay comfortable in low temperatures. They have a good ratio of muscle and fat to keep their vital organs insulated. Additionally, dogs in general have a remarkable paw structure, which features a network of blood vessels that ensures blood is warmed up before it is pumped back throughout the rest of the body. Additionally, many GSDs will instinctively engage in physical activity when the weather gets cold in an effort to keep their bodies warm. How cold is too cold for a German Shepherd to be outside? Besides, they benefit tremendously from the physical and mental stimulation. There are several factors that could make your German Shepherd less tolerant of the cold. These include: Age German Shepherd puppies have not had the chance to develop their robust bodies and lush coats, and so will have a lower tolerance for frosty weather. Health If your dog is malnourished or has an underlying health condition, they might not have enough fat and flesh to insulate their vital organs. It might not take much to make them feel too cold. Undercoat Not all GSDs have thick or woolly coats. Dampness Guard hairs can only do so much. Ways to Tell if Your Dog is Cold The more time you spend bonding with your dog, the better connection you have. When dogs shiver, their muscles use stored energy to create small involuntary movements in an effort to generate warmth. Needing to Curl Up At the onset of cold weather, many dogs will try to become more active to keep their bodies warm. But eventually, they will instinctively try to preserve their energy and keep warm by curling up. They do so by burrowing or nesting, ideally in proper beddings. Even when standing, they will try to preserve body heat by hunching their back and tucking their tail in. Showing Signs of Stress When they become uncomfortable in the cold, dogs will exhibit signs of anxiety. German Shepherds are particularly vocal, so they might howl , bark , and whine. Lethargy As their bodies focus on keeping their vital organs warm, dogs often become lethargic when they feel too cold. This might be accompanied by dilated pupils. Ways to Keep Your Dog Warm in Colder Weather As winter approaches, a good rule of thumb is to keep your dog indoors unless supervised for potty and play. Generally, these are what you need to keep them safe and comfortable in cold weather: Keep them indoors. The most important thing to keep your dog safe in frigid temperatures is to let them stay indoors. Always make sure they have proper shelter than protects them from snow, wind, and rain. Ensure access to fresh water. Proper hydration will help your dog tolerate the chilly weather. Provide proper beddings. Give your dog thicker blankets so they can bundle up when they want to. You can even roll the blankets up and shape them in a circle so your dog can nest. An elevated bed keeps their body further away from the cold as they sleep. Increase their food servings. Just being in frosty weather makes your dog use up more energy. So, feed them more food to keep their bodies from using their fat and muscle stores for energy. Protect their paws. Additionally, if you have a long-coated GSD, make sure you keep their paws trimmed short since their fur can soak up dampness from the ground and make them more susceptible to hypothermia. Get some clothes. Dog clothes are generally unnecessary for GSDs unless temperatures reach critically low levels or your dog is particularly sensitive to the cold. In those cases, additional insulation through dog sweaters or vests will be helpful. Avoid bathing. Instead, brush them often to remove dirt and debris, remove loose hair, and keep their skin and coat healthy. What to do if you Suspect your Dog has Hypothermia Hypothermia is a serious condition caused by exposure to low temperatures. It could lead to heart failure, comatose, or even death. If a vet is not immediately available, take the following steps: Step 1: Dry them up. Soak up what you can with a towel and use a hairdryer to dry them up and give them warmth at the same time. Step 2: Keep them warm. Step 3: Check their temperature. Otherwise, watch them closely as they warm up. Step 4: Monitor their progress. Check their temperature every 10 minutes. As soon as their body temperature returns to normal, you can remove the heat but keep them bundled up. Final Thoughts The bodies of German Shepherds are built to tolerate the cold much better than other breeds. However, they do still feel cold and excessive exposure to low temperatures still poses severe danger. What naturally prepares your Shepherd for cold weather? Your German Shepherd has a few characteristics and instinctual behaviors that will help keep her warm. Shepherds have a thick double-coat. Most German Shepherds have a medium-length outer layer of guard hairs with a thick fleecy undercoat. Their outer coat is dense and the stiff hairs usually lie flat. Orvis News points out this coarseness also means the coat has a water-repellant quality. Its purpose is insulation, and it serves GSDs in both hot and cold weather. In the frigid cold, the undercoat is further insurance that body heat does not escape. You should note that German Shepherds can have three varieties of coat lengths in addition to the standard plush. Short outer coat with a normal thick undercoat. Long-haired with an undercoat — These dogs also have feathering which consists of tufts on the ears and pants on the hind legs. Their hair will be much thicker in appearance than other feathered breeds like the Golden Retriever. Long-haired dog with no undercoat A German Shepherd has a low surface area. Animals living in colder climates often have a larger body mass than those who do not. Have you ever wondered why a Chihuahua struggles to stay warm at 45 degrees Fahrenheit while a Labrador seems in Paradise? It is not solely because of their coat. Large-breed dogs have less surface area over which heat can escape. Per the AKC , the breed standard for the German Shepherd calls for a height of 22 to 26 inches at the top of the shoulders and a weight of 50 to 90 pounds. As you probably know, many Shepherds are much larger than the breed standard. Muscles keep your dog warm. Although not as buff as a Staffordshire Terrier or Bull Mastiff, your Shepherd has great muscling under his fur. Muscles generate heat through metabolism and as a last resort through effective shivering. Dogs have special attributes to keep warm. According to Dog Discoveries , all dogs have basic traits and behaviors to stay warm when it is cold out. Your German Shepherd is better adapted than some other breeds. Bushy tail to cover face when sleeping — Dogs will often sleep in a curled position to minimize heat loss and GSDs have exceptionally bushy tails to keep nose and eyes warm. Piloerection — When your German Shepherd puffs up, her guard hairs and undercoat trap cold air away from her skin and body. A German Shepherd in his prime can handle temperatures 20 degrees Fahrenheit fairly easily. He can tolerate temperatures even as low as to degrees Fahrenheit for short periods and as long as he stays dry. Some Shepherds should not be exposed to extremely cold temperatures because of their decreased ability to cope. Puppies — Very young dogs are small, lack muscle mass, have minimal body fat, do not have a proper fur coat, and have underdeveloped temperature regulation centers in the brain. They cannot shiver effectively and have a large surface-area-to-body-volume ratio. Senior dogs — Aging dogs lose muscle mass and immune functions and sometimes their hair. Do not subject elder dogs to extremes in temperature for long periods. Sick dogs — Dealing with the energy needs of an illness, especially chronic, prevents your German Shepherd from handling cold weather effectively. Chronic illness may lead to loss of muscle and fat. Dogs without an undercoat — If your dog does not have an undercoat, avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below freezing, regardless of his coat length. Dogs lacking condition — Dogs who are malnourished or suffering from another cause of weight loss do not have the energy stores to cope when it is exceedingly cold outside. Even a balmy 45 degrees Fahrenheit may be too cold for them. What do you need to provide your dog when it is cold? Have you acclimated your dog to cold weather? Even if your dog is accustomed to staying outdoors in all conditions for eight to 12 hours, she needs basic amenities. Not only is it the law in many areas, but it ensures her comfort and well-being. Freshwater — Although it seems common sense, water provides the hydration necessary for all metabolic processes, including staying warm. Shelter — Your German Shepherd needs shelter from the wind. A doghouse will also protect from rain, sleet, and snow, and provides additional insulation. Generally tired with low energy A dry nose and gums Loss of skin elasticity If you take your dog inside and these symptoms or behaviors do not improve quickly, then you need to take your dog to the veterinarian immediately. Intervention at this stage is critical to avoid a potentially life-threatening issue. Note on skin elasticity According to dr. Jerry Klein, the chief veterinarian for the AKC, skin elasticity is probably the easiest way to check if your dog is dehydrated. Watch carefully as it falls back into place. In well-hydrated dogs, the skin instantly will spring back to its original position. T he skin of dehydrated dogs, on the other hand, will take longer to fall back into place. Always make sure that your dog has a clean supply of fresh water at all times. Though as a general rule, dogs should drink about an ounce of water per pound of their body weight per day. Additionally, make sure that your dog always has access to shade. Just like you seek out shade on a hot day, so does your dog. A dog kept in the hot sun without access to shade can quickly overheat and begin to dehydrate. However, this aspect of grooming a GSD is often misunderstood. Similar to an insulated home, it actually traps cool air and keeps it in. So, do not be overly eager when brushing your GSD. Take care to lightly brush your GSD and remove only the hair that is already shedding on its own. Removing more hair than that will disrupt its natural layering and may cause your GSD to become too hot. Cold weather All of my German Shepherds have loved the snow. You may have experienced that they love to chase snowballs and just romp around having a good time. But in this instance, I still keep a close eye on them because even though the air temperature is warm, they are still walking on the frozen ground and the pads on their paws are still susceptible to freezing on ice and snow. This is different for dogs that are acclimated to the cold weather. Typically, German Shepherds, once acclimated, can stay outside in very cold weather for long periods of time. But if you have a mostly inside dog during the winter, it is the sudden change in temperature that you need to be careful of. So use your common sense, consider how much time your dog does spend outside, keep an eye on your dog and adjust accordingly. Bringing your dog inside from the cold After a walk in the snow, it is good practice to thoroughly dry off your dog when it returns inside. Not only does that lessen the smell of a wet dog, it also protects your dog from a few potential hazards which you may not have occurred to you. While your dog is walking, especially if you live in a city, it can step on a number of things that are harmful to it. And since dogs have a tendency to lick their paws, they can ingest these things. Frostbite Just like you, your dog can get hypothermia or frostbite. Be aware if your dog is experiencing frostbite. It can actually take several days before there is any clear indication of frostbite. At that time, the frostbitten area may become inflamed and painful to your dog. So check on these frequently. It is also a good idea to trim the hair between its pads. Cold weather and cars Just like you would never leave your dog in a hot car during the summer time, the same goes for leaving your dog in the car during winter. In cold temperatures, your car is basically a refrigerator. Be aware of this, and do not leave your dog in the car on a cold day for an extended period of time. This is because snow and ice will mask the scents that your dog is used to following to find its way back home. This happens to many dogs each winter. So in addition to keeping your dog on a leash during walks, make sure that it has a snug-fitting collar with the proper identification tags in case your dog does become separated from you. Feeding considerations Staying warm burns calories. So be aware of this, and make sure that your dog is getting a high-quality diet in the proper amounts. You may need to increase how much you feed your dog during the winter if it spends a fair amount of time outside. If you are unsure of exactly how much your dog should be eating, consult with your veterinarian, as each dog has its own individual requirements. Puppies If you are dealing with a puppy during hot and cold weather, keep in mind that they are not as developed as their full-grown counterparts. Because of this, they will be much less tolerant of heat or cold. Afford your puppy the same considerations that you would to a child in these circumstances. The key being to not overdo it in any one area with your puppy — spend less time in the heat, spend less time in the cold, be extra attentive to any signs of distress. And if possible, make sure that your puppy lives indoors. While a GSD can live outdoors, it is not recommended at a young age. An outdoor puppy is at a much higher risk to develop an illness or be adversely affected by extremes in weather. Final thoughts Although GSDs can live and thrive in just about any weather, your dog still needs all of the basics like food, water, and shelter. Especially if you live in an area that experiences extremes in weather. Treat your GSD with the same consideration that you would a person whom you deeply care about — because your dog most certainly cares about you, and it deserves as much love back from you as it gives to you. Avoiding Common Hazards As German Shepherd owners, you may often wonder, how cold is too cold for my dog? Long-haired German Shepherds can even withstand colder temperatures due to their thicker coats. Long-haired German Shepherds can withstand colder temperatures due to their dense fur. Age: Older dogs and puppies may have more difficulty handling colder temperatures because their body fat and metabolism may be different from adult dogs. Size: Larger German Shepherds may be more resistant to cold temperatures because they have a greater body mass, which can help generate heat. Health: If your German Shepherd has any health issues or a compromised immune system, it may be more susceptible to cold-related illnesses, such as hypothermia. Adaptation: Your German Shepherd can acclimate to different temperatures over time. If your dog is exposed to cold temperatures gradually and consistently, it will better adapt to colder weather and be able to tolerate a wider range of temperatures. They possess a double coat that consists of a dense undercoat and an outer coat made up of longer guard hairs. The undercoat provides insulation against the cold, while the guard hairs offer protection from moisture and dirt. The bushy tail also serves as an additional feature that helps to conserve body heat by wrapping it around their body when in a resting position. Behavioral Adaptation Aside from their impressive coat characteristics, German Shepherds also demonstrate certain behaviors that help them adapt to colder temperatures. Here are a few: Seeking shelter: Your German Shepherd will instinctively find sheltered spots to rest in when the weather gets colder. This could include finding a cozy spot indoors or seeking cover from wind and snow outdoors. Curling up: You may notice your GSD curling up tightly when resting in colder temperatures. This behavior helps conserve body heat by reducing body surface area exposed to the cold. Increased activity level: German Shepherds tend to be more active during colder months. Remaining active helps generate body heat, which in turn keeps them warm and better adapted to the cold weather. Effect Of Age On Cold Tolerance German Shepherds are known for their cold tolerance, but age plays a significant role in how well they can handle harsh temperatures. Puppies Puppies are more sensitive to cold temperatures than adult German Shepherds. Their bodies are still developing, and they lack the full double coat that protects adult German Shepherds from the cold. To keep your German Shepherd puppy warm and keep the cold from reaching their body, you should: Provide a warm, dry shelter where they can escape the cold Use blankets or dog beds to insulate against cold surfaces Limit their time outdoors in extremely cold weather Dress them in a dog sweater or coat if necessary Keep a close eye on your puppy when they are outdoors and bring them inside if they show signs of discomfort or shivering. Older Dogs A senior German Shepherd may also be more susceptible to the cold due to health issues, a decrease in activity levels, or loss of muscle mass which may make it harder for them to generate body heat. Like puppies, older dogs may not be able to withstand temperatures as low as adult German Shepherds can. Check for cold-related health issues such as arthritis, which can be aggravated by cold weather. Prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures and snow increases the risk of your dog developing hypothermia and frostbite. Here are some signs to look out for: Shivering: This is a primary indicator of cold weather discomfort and the onset of hypothermia. Lethargy: If your dog appears weak, unresponsive, or disoriented, this may indicate their body temperature has dropped significantly, and they are experiencing hypothermia. Pale or discolored skin: This could be a sign of frostbite, particularly on the extremities like the ears, tail, and paws. If the skin appears different from usual and feels cool to the touch, it may be due to frostbite. Swelling or blisters: These could also indicate frostbite, as the affected tissues might become swollen or even develop blisters. If they spend a significant amount of time outdoors, provide a waterproof and insulated dog house to protect them from snow, ice, and wind. Provide thick, warm blankets or a cozy dog bed for your pet to snuggle in, and ensure that their sleeping area is sheltered from drafts and raised off the cold ground. In colder temperatures, consider bringing your dog indoors to keep them warm and safe. Proper Nutrition And Exercise Maintaining a nutritious diet plays a crucial role in keeping your German Shepherd healthy during winter. Cold weather requires more energy for your dog to keep warm, so consider increasing their food intake slightly, especially if they spend a lot of time outside. Ensure that your German Shepherd has access to clean, fresh water at all times, as dehydration can make them more susceptible to cold-weather illnesses. However, make sure to keep your walks and outdoor play sessions shorter in colder weather to prevent overexposure. Monitor your dog for signs of discomfort, such as shivering or reluctance to move, and make sure to dry them off thoroughly after being out in the wet or snowy conditions. Regular brushing helps to remove dead hair and stimulates the growth of new, warm fur. These items help protect their feet from the cold ground and keep their body temperature stable. Make sure to properly measure and select the appropriate size for your dog for maximum comfort. When choosing dog boots or jackets, look for waterproof and insulated materials, as these will best protect your pet from the elements. Avoiding Common Hazards While winter can be an enjoyable time for your German Shepherd, certain hazards should be avoided to ensure their health and safety. Here are a few tips: Climate: Be aware of the cold climate and its effect on your dog. Bring them inside if you notice any signs of hypothermia or discomfort. Keeping your dog hydrated is essential for their overall health. Doghouse: If your German Shepherd spends any time outdoors in their doghouse during the winter, make sure it is well-insulated and draft-free. Provide them with a warm and dry bed to help maintain their body temperature. Salt: Roads and sidewalks are often treated with salt and other chemicals during the winter months. By monitoring their body temperature and making a few small adjustments, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable winter experience for you and your furry friend. David W. I admire German Shepherds. They are magnificent dogs! I have been dealing with dogs, namely German Shepherds, throughout my life. I have been working part-time as a dog trainer and instructor for about 5 years, dealing mainly with German Shepherds. So I know a bit about these animals. Therefore, I decided to share my knowledge and experience about this fantastic breed. If you need help with advice and care tips or want to know more about German Shepherd dogs, welcome to this blog. Dogs vary individually regarding tolerance to temperature and although adaptable, German Shepherds have limitations too. Although dog coats are adorable and you want to see your dog sporting the latest fashion, a coat is not necessary for your German Shepherd. These dogs are born with a coat of their own. German Shepherds have thick double coats of fur that provide an amazing job of keeping them warm. Strictly from a physical point of view, German Shepherds are equally able to cope as indoor or outdoor dogs. However, these dogs become extremely attached to their human families and crave interaction and reassurance. Since German Shepherds have a lush double coat of fur, physically they are able to withstand significantly cold temperatures, but that heavy coat also causes discomfort and poses potential dangers in extremely hot climates. Having a good combination of indoor and outdoor activity is ideal. Should German Shepherds Sleep Outside? German Shepherds can sleep outside however as a puppy they should not sleep outside until around four months of age. Younger puppies cannot regulate their body temperature and are more susceptible to sickness and disease. A German Shepherd puppy also needs this time to bond with its human family. As your German Shepherd matures into adulthood, they may prefer sleeping outside but, in a bed, with close proximity to the family. If your dog is going to be sleeping outside you need to provide a well-insulated kennel to protect them from colder temperatures. During the warmer months, it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation and airflow for the kennel. Despite having a warm coat of fur, additional warmth is necessary for your German Shepherd during colder temperatures. Just as you do for your own bed, keep plenty of blankets for your dog in the winter months. If your Shepherd already has a blanket used during the warmer months consider switching it out for a blanket better insulated for colder temperatures. As previously mentioned, ensure that your German Shepherd has adequate sheltering. Give their kennel or shelter an inspection to ensure that it is dry and prevents drafting. Whenever possible an elevated shelter, preferably about four inches off the ground, is best for keeping your dog warm. Inspect their paws after being in the cold and wipe away any ice or snow to check for cracking and drying out of the pads. If you have a German Shepherd that cooperates, you may want to have them fitted with booties to protect their paws from the elements. Their stout bodies and double coats make it easier for them to endure colder temperatures than most other breeds. Shepherds possess a low surface-area-to-volume ratio which means there is less surface area over which heat escapes. Muscles generate heat through metabolism and although not the buffest, German Shepherds have great muscle tone underneath their fur. Activity Levels German Shepherds are a highly active dog breed and need adequate time outdoors. While your dog cannot spend all of his time outdoors in freezing temperatures, he can manage short amounts of time in extremely cold temperatures. Just like their owners, being in the cold too long can cause them to get sick. Coughing Coughing is a definite sign that your dog has caught a cold. Similar to the common cold of humans, dogs can catch a cold that produces similar symptoms. It is important to watch for other symptoms that indicate something more serious than the common cold. Sneezing Your German Shepherd can sneeze due to allergies to various elements such as dust or pollen. However, it can also be a sign that your pup has a cold. Just like humans, German Shepherds get colds and it makes them feel lethargic and feverish just like you. While a runny nose may be because of allergies or just because they are excited to see you, it can also be a sign of infection and a runny nose accompanying other symptoms may warrant a trip to the vet. How to Treat a German Shepherd with a Cold? If your German Shepherd has a cold, there are things you can do to make them more comfortable as they recuperate. It is most effective and safe to place a humidifier in the area where your German Shepherd sleeps, however, if not available place your dog in the room with a hot steamy shower running. Even if your Shepherd has food and water left over from the day, provide fresh food each day instead of leaving the old. If needed, get them out to do a stroll around the block, but make sure that they are getting plenty of rest. Give Your Dog Plenty of Fluids Hydration is a priority for your dog with a cold especially because it helps them breathe by thinning the nasal mucous. Make sure that your dog is drinking by checking their water intake and if they just do not feel like drinking water offer something like chicken soup low sodium of course. Nutritious food is vital for recovery which means offering something that will appeal to your dog like chicken and brown rice. When to Consult with a Vet? With rest and extra love and care, your German Shepherd should feel better in no time. But if that cold seems to drag on and your dog is not feeling better then it may be time for a trip to the vet to rule out something more serious. Final thoughts Overall, German Shepherds can tolerate the cold, but as with any dog breed, they have their limits. While cold temperatures do not bother these dogs, prolonged exposure to extreme cold weather is unhealthy and not reasonable for this breed. As long as they are not forced outside for long periods of time, it is safe to say that German Shepherds can be safe in the cold thanks to their thick fur. Yes, German shepherds get cold. Because of the way they are built accompanying their thick double coats, German shepherds tolerate lower temperatures easier than other breeds. A German shepherd can tolerate chilly temperatures for a long time or freezing temperatures for a short period. We Recommend The coat will keep your dog warm and cozy, so that they can play outside or sleep comfortably throughout the day even in freezing weather. A Sable German shepherd has longer and fluffier hair than the average German shepherd , which will be able to withstand colder temperatures easier. On the other hand, like most breeds, they can also become acclimated rather quickly to the changing seasons. Age Due to their body mass and size, puppies cannot tolerate cold temperatures like adults. On the other hand, a senior german shepherd temperature will not withstand cold weather as easily as an adult because they cannot regulate their temperature as they age. During these conditions, your German shepherd should avoid going outside as much as possible to decrease the risks of hypothermia and getting sick. Overall Health If your German shepherd eats a well-balanced diet and generally stays healthy, it will be able to withstand cold temperatures longer, however, if your dog is sick or has a health condition. German shepherds are very capable of coping with extreme weather conditions based on their muscle metabolism, paw-blood circulation, energy level, and body structure. Thin and Dense Double Coat German shepherds with shorter hair tend to have a thin layer of fur as their undercoat. Their undercoat functions perform well in extreme cold and hot temperatures. Muscle Metabolism German shepherds can manage their body heat well due to their high muscle mass. Muscle mass maintains high metabolic rates, which allows for an overall high body temperature. Paw Blood Circulation German shepherd paws develop a large amount of blood supply which helps them with circulation. Their heavy padded paws are why they can tolerate walking on sweltering pavement and in the freezing snow. Although they may seem like they have loads of energy playing in the snow or running around the yard, they may not realize they are cold. Pay close attention to their body language. Instead, allow them to get used to the cold with small doses every time you go out with them. Burrowing — is not just a playful method to increase activity. Stress signs — barking, whining , and even howling mean that your dog is showing signs of anxiety. Hunched back or tucked tail — usually happens after they have made attempts to get warm and failed. If your GSD stays out any longer in the cold, they will get sick and develop hypothermia. Pale or Bluish gums — a definite sign of hypothermia. Signs of Hypothermia include: Fur and skin are frozen to the touch Sleepy or lethargic behavior Body temperature lower than 95F Slowed heart rate Labored breathing and trouble walking Sometimes coma While signs of hypothermia may not be present immediately, you should always watch your dog after being out in the cold. The best thing you can do if you suspect your dog has hypothermia is to use warm blankets that just come out of the dryer and place hot-water bottles in and around their bedding. Call a vet immediately after you have warmed them and seek professional guidance. Never put hot-water bottles directly on your pet as you may risk burning them. Coats are best for senior dogs, sick dogs, and puppies. You might also consider buying durable dog boots. Keep walks shorter and ensure your home is warm for when you get back. During bathroom breaks, keep their fur dry as soon as they come inside. Here are some common questions asked by other German shepherd owners. Do German Shepherds Like the Cold? Do German Shepherds Like Snow? Yes, German shepherds love snow. A German shepherd in the snow is like a toddler at a candy store. What is the Perfect Temperature for a German Shepherd? In the summer, temperatures above 95F are too hot. Can German Shepherds Live Outside? Even though the German shepherds are very affectionate and family-oriented dogs, they can surely live outside. Especially if the shelter is provided to keep them safe from windchill and other weather conditions. After ten to fifteen minutes in below-freezing temperatures, your German shepherd should come inside to get warmed back up. The best way to tell whether your dog is managing is by paying attention to their body language. German shepherds are drawn to warmth like humans , so it can be irresistible not to want to curl up in front of a hot burning fireplace. However, fireplaces are dangerous and can cause burns at an unsafe distance. Keep your GSD at least five feet away from the fireplace at all times. Does a GSD have a low surface area? Yes, the GSDs have a low surface area. It means that they lose less heat through their skin. German shepherds are large breeds with a fairly regulated internal heat system. Their paws circulate blood the most, which helps as it will either help them stay cool or warm during sweltering and cold weather. Also, take note of the conditions the weather has outside.

Long-haired GSDs can withstand even colder temperatures. Yet, factors like age, health conditions, activity level, and weight may also affect their ability to stand the cold weather. Unlike some breeds who were bred to live and sleep in the snow, like Sebastian Huskies, Saint Bernards, and Malamutes, German Shepherds were bred to live and work with people and livestock. The fact is, the German Shepherd is a breed of dog that has a double coat. This means that there are two layers of fur. Their outer coat is long and coarse, and it is there to protect the dog against snow and ice. The undercoat is thick and soft, and it insulates the dog against cold in the winter as well as heat in the summer. Many owners have shared that their GSDs literally love the snow. Their pooches were fine even after being out in the snow for one to two hours. And when they are cold, they will come inside. Depending on their coat length, age, weight, lifestyle, and diet, German Shepherds will do alright even below zero, as long as they are on the move and are not left outside for a prolonged period of time. How cold is too cold for your German Shepherd? If the temperature gets too far below, your dog will have trouble regulating its temperature. However, there are a few exceptions to this. For example, if your pup is a long-haired German Shepherd with a thick fur coat, eats a healthy diet, or is muscular, he may be able to withstand even lower temperatures. How long can your German Shepherd stay in below zero temperature? Your GSD can go outside for 15 to 20 minutes at below-freezing temperatures for potty breaks. All dogs also have ways to retain heat. For one, their bushy tail can be used to cover the face and keep it warm while sleeping. Also, as a German Shepherd curls up, he retains heat better while sleeping. Raising the coat hairs also helps to trap heat and keep the body warm. These factors include: Age German Shepherd puppies have a thin fur coat that makes winter very hard on them. Their muscles are also underdeveloped, making it hard to regulate body heat well. Feeding your puppy a highly nutritious diet and giving them a warm coat can help them stay warm during winter. On the other hand, older dogs may also have trouble regulating their body heat as well. Over time, older dogs lose their hair and muscles, and their immune systems may dwindle as they age. It is usually best to not take a senior German Shepherd into the severe cold too often. In case you live in an area with a very cold winter, you may keep your young or old dog warm with a vest while going outside. Activity Level If a German Shepherd is highly active and always on the move, he can keep himself warm on a chilly day just by staying busy. This should not be a problem if your dog is healthy. They can run for at least several hours a day for sure. This is a dog who is bred to go all day regardless of the temperature, and all that activity helps to keep your Shepherd warm. Weight If your German Shepherd is slim and seems to be losing weight, this means he may not have enough muscle and body fat to keep him warm. Both of these are important to maintain heat. In really cold weather conditions, the body fat can be converted to extra energy to keep your pup warm. Protein from meat and salmon is a calorie-dense nutrient. And many of the high-protein diets are extremely high in calories and can lead to being overweight. Health conditions If your dog eats a balanced diet and has enough physical and mental stimulation during the day, he is a happy and healthy dog that can stay active to keep himself warm in cold weather. However, when your dog is sick, their bodies automatically take extra energy and direct it toward healing. This leaves very little energy left to help the dog stay warm. This is why it is best to keep any sick German Shepherds inside where it is nice and warm. What to look for when your dog reacts to colder temperatures? Again, not all German Shepherds have the same ability to regulate their body heat temperatures, and they may struggle with colder temperatures. If it seems like your dog is shivering when it gets colder, you need to keep them inside or give them some added layers of protection. Simple cold-weather caring tips for dogs You may assume that your Shepherd will be able to handle the cold with no problem.
