Our puppies associate clipping and brushing with attention and treats, and love it! Continue to make grooming a good time; be patient, reward with treats and praise while you clip nails and brush. Continue to clip nails every weeks, just a little tiny bit off each time! SUPPLIES Even if you plan to have your dog professionally groomed you will want to keep the following on hand: a good brush, comb, de-matting comb, nail clippers and blunt tip and thinning scissors. See our Puppy Prep Supply List page for links to our favorites. The hair that grows up from the bridge of the nose can cover your puppy's eyes and begin to obstruct his vision. You can trim this back using thinning scissors preferred or blunt tip scissors. Trim an inverted V shape across the nose on a diagonal. The thinning scissors will give a softer, less choppy look. Trim around the feet in a large circle, to keep the floppy look but remove the extra hair that your puppy is stepping on. While the adult coat is establishing, you will need to brush multiple times a week, this is the best time for your puppy's first professional trim. During this transition staying ahead of matting can become a challenge and you will see some shedding of the puppy coat as well. The Australian Labradoodle has beautiful furnishings that are unique to the breed and lend to its floppy, teddy bear like appearance. These furnishings should not be trimmed too short, and this is what gives some groomers trouble. Talk with your groomer and ask if they are familiar with the Australian Labradoodle groom as opposed to a regular Labradoodle, Poodle or Schnauzer groom. A picture is worth a thousand words so share pictures and the instructions below with your favorite groomer. Use scissors and thinning scissors only, never use clippers when trimming the head and face. The top of the head should round off to the ears, but be long and floppy 3. Outside of the eyes should be long. This is a part of the eyebrow and should taper down to meet the length of the front tip of the ear at the leather. The muzzle should be trimmed vertically, no horizontal lines should show. The entire muzzle should have a layered round shape if you are looking straight at it-like the base of a fat pineapple! Chin should be trimmed as part of the round muzzle no long beard 6. Ears should be trimmed to the leather around the edge and layered long and natural looking. Fur inside and just under the ear should be trimmed short to promote air flow. Fur in between the eyes should be trimmed to have a soft, natural look - not choppy. The body should be trimmed to loosely follow the dog's shape, to create a free flowing and natural look. Legs should be trimmed to look like a column, so the foot is not seen. The fur around the legs may be longer than the rest of the body to create this appearance. Fur underneath the foot should be trimmed flat against the bottom of the foot. TAIL 1. The tail should be brushed out and trimmed to match the coat on the legs; long, neat, and full. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. Australian Labradoodle Grooming Guide Choosing a Groomer Before you bring your Australian Labradoodle to the groomer, ask if they have had previous experience clipping Australian Labradoodles. Show your groomer some photos from our website so that they know exactly how you expect the clip to look. Labradoodle coats require a regular brushing and grooming routine. How often you have your Australian Labradoodle trimmed will depend on how fast their coat grows, your personal preferences in how long you leave them, how much maintenance you want to do at home, and how often you have them groomed professionally. You can expect to bathe and completely blow out their coat every weeks, and plan to have them trimmed approximately every weeks. For an adult Australian Labradoodle, you should allow on average, 60 minutes every two weeks for brushing time. If your Labradoodle is active in the water or hiking in nature areas, you may have to run a brush through them more often to remove debris or loosen hair clumping during the drying process post-swimming. Wait until your dog is dry, then run a slicker through their coat. Purchasing a small grooming table and arm, and training them to stand still during brushing and drying will save your back. But be warned that you need to always have a hand on your dog when they are on the grooming table or attached to a grooming arm. Never leave them or turn away or they can try to jump off the table and injure themselves. When your Labradoodle has short hair, an inch or two, regular brushing with a slicker can work just fine. Once the hair gets longer, it is important to make sure you are reaching all the way to the base of the hair by adding a metal greyhound comb. If loose hair is not removed near the skin, mats can begin to form. In separating your dogs coat with your hand, you can brush and comb all the way to the skin. Work backwards from the feet up to the body, and the tail to the head. Brush in the direction of the hair, but add small amounts of coat to each stroke. At approximately eight months old a puppy coat needs more frequent brushing during its changeover to the adult coat. Bathing: Australian Labradoodles need bathed and brushed out approximately once a month. Puppies can be bathed as needed. If you are going to bath your Australian Labradoodle at home, be sure to brush through the coat completely first. If you do it the other way around, any mats will get tighter when you get them wet. Also, watch that you do not pull on the mat while you are cutting it, and be aware of how closely the skin may be to your scissors. We also use a dematting tool to help break a mat into a smaller piece for easier removal. Then brush, comb, or gently work any mats out. Purchasing a commercial hair dryer is worth the investment and will speed up the drying process. Head: The lovable teddy bear look of your Australian Labradoodle is enjoyed every time you look at them, and every time you take them out and others look at them. No matter what length the body is trimmed, that adorable teddy bear face can make up the difference in winning hearts everywhere they go. A picture is worth a thousand words, so the photos and grooming card below coming soon will help to clarify the following worded instructions you will need to convey to your groomer to get exactly the look you want to see. It is best to print out the grooming card and take it with you at each visit to your groomer. This creates a more natural look and keeps the hair from poking at or covering their eyes. It also makes it easier to clean any matter out from the corner in the morning. Feet: Keeping your Labradoodles paws shaped nicely will help less water and debris attach to their feet as they are coming and going. We start trimming around their paws by around weeks of age to get them used to the action of having their feet picked up and worked with. You want to go around the bottom edge of their paw in a nice, rounded shape, snipping off longer hair so that it does not hit the ground. Your groomer can trim hair from the bottom of their feet with a clipper and a 30 blade. Nails should be trimmed regularly every weeks depending on wear. The hair under their tail should also be trimmed to keep the area clean. While the adult coat is establishing, you will need to brush multiple times a week, and I find this the best time to give your pet his first trim. It will be difficult to keep up with the matting in the longer coat, but with a trim, it is very manageable, and the beauty of the adult coat is better realized. Once your dog gets to 12 to 14 months, the adult coat will be fully established, and this is the coat you can expect to work with for your dog's adult life. I find that the picture to the right will help to clarify the instructions you will need to convey for your dog's face. It is best to print this picture and take it with you to the groomer. A three-fourths inch blade don't go shorter than one-half inch will keep your dog's coat nice and full but give a smooth consistent length all over. If you like your dogs coat longer, your groomer should have a guard they can use to achieve this. The legs are typically just a little longer than the rest of the coat if you trim the coat to three-fourths inch. FEET: The feet will need a "slipper" cut to achieve the floppy, full leg look. The leg will look like a column. TAIL: The tail needs to be de-matted and trimmed. It is also important to have the hair removed, either trimmed or pulled, inside the dog's ears.

Do you want to avoid dogs that shed the most, or is a long coat appealing to you? Labrador retrievers, with their short coats, may seem like a good option for those who want to avoid dog hair all over their furniture. But do Labradors shed? Because the Labrador retriever is known for its agility in the water, the breed has a very thick coat to protect it from both cold weather and cold water. So, it's likely that your Lab will shed more than you'd expect, judging by the Lab's appearance. Although it's obvious that certain dogs shed more than others, it may surprise you how much short-haired dogs actually shed. Dogs with double coats--both an inner coat and an overcoat--whether long or short, shed more than dogs with a single coat. Double-coated dogs typically were bred for colder climates, like the Akita, Alaskan malamute, or American Eskimo dog. A Lab's inner coat is short and dense to keep the dog warm, even when swimming, and the outer coat is longer and helps keep the dog free of dirt and water. This outer coat helps repel moisture, so the Lab can stay warmer longer. Your Lab has its own water-repellent jacket, which is why this breed is especially good at hunting and retrieving waterfowl. Luckily, there are many Labrador shedding solutions at your disposal to keep you and your dog happy and healthy.

These are the periods when you will see the most hair around your house,and it's crucial to brush your dog around these dog molting seasons. If you have a Lab puppy, be prepared for a big molting when the dog is becoming an adult. Just like we lose our baby teeth to get our adult teeth, puppies shed their softer puppy coat to grow in their coarser, more protective adult coat. Note that even in the heat of summer, you should never shave your Labrador retriever. You may think you are doing your Lab a favor by getting rid of the extra hair, but in fact the dog's body temperature is controlled partially by its hair, and removing a layer disrupts the dog's body temperature and ability to protect itself against moisture. Golden retriever shedding and longhaired Labrador shedding Golden retrievers, closely related to the Labrador retriever, and other longhaired Labradors may appear to shed more than shorthaired Labs. But you may be surprised to find that dogs that shed the most are not always longhaired dogs. But because longhaired dogs obviously have a longer outer coat, their hair is much more obvious and recognizable than short haired dogs. Just like a yellow Lab's coat may show up more obviously on your dark furniture, longer hair is going to have a more prevalent appearance in your home than short hair. Using the below grooming advice for Labs and retrievers, whether short haired or long haired, will help you keep your Lab's coat clean and fresh, and your home free of unwanted dog hair. Labrador grooming It's important to keep up with grooming your Lab, especially during Lab shedding season, as noted above. Grooming may sound difficult and time consuming at first, like something you can only pay professionals for. But keep in mind that Labrador grooming it's actually quite simple to do at home. Start with the right comb or brush. Labs need a high-quality bristle body brush to really get into their double coat and clean it. Also try a brush specific to shedding, like an undercoat rake, which helps get rid of all excess hair during shedding season. These rakes, or combs, have longer bristles to get down deep into the fur to get rid of all the dead hair that would eventually end up on your furniture and floor. Especially during Lab shedding season, be sure to use this brush once a week on your dog, and clean up the hair with a vacuum or broom right after you brush. FURminator as pictured above is a popular brand of combs and brushes for dogs. We recommend using the FURminator Undercoat de-shedding tool for Large Dogs Amazon link no more than once per week, supplemented with a light brush using the Curry Comb for Dogs , both of which help get rid of dead hair in their coats. Overuse can end up hurting dogs, so be mindful of that when using these yourself at home. Other Labrador shedding solutions Of course having outdoor-only Labs will keep unwanted dog hair off of your furniture and floors, but given their trainability and temperament, that is an unlikely solution for most! So here are more tips for keeping your dog's coat and your place clean: Baths Aside from grooming your dog with a brush each week, also consider giving your dog baths every other week at most, but preferably once a month. If your Lab is outdoors most of the day, or if you're returning from a special day out, a regular warm water rinse is preferred if it hasn't been at least two weeks since the last bath. Too much soaping up can have a negative effect on your baby's skin, so we'd like to avoid that at all costs. Bathing as needed and brushing your pooch regularly will keep your dog's coat shiny and will clean away all of the dead hair underneath the coat. Vacuuming Investing in high-quality cleaning supplies for your home is crucial for you to be able to keep your furniture free of hair. If you have wood floors, be sure you sweep regularly and use a wet mop. For carpets, make sure you have a good vacuum that will pick up the coarse dog hair that your Lab sheds. Many vacuums are very effective on hard floors as well, so consider investing in one if you find you have excess hair sitting around building dust bunnies. Talk to your veterinarian about the right food for your dog, especially during Labrador shedding season. Your vet may even suggest certain vitamin supplements, like coconut oil or fish oil, that keep your Lab's coat shiny and healthy. The answer is yes,but remember that shedding is manageable for any dog owner who is willing to work at it. Be sure to use the right combs or brushes on your dog, and groom them regularly to get rid of excess hair. This is especially pertinent when it is dog molting season, which can occur twice or three times a year. Give your Lab regular baths and consult with your vet about the right food or vitamins for a healthy coat. Also equip your home with the right cleaning products and tools to keep your place spotless. Using this advice, you'll be able to live happily and dog-hair-free while allowing your dog to get rid of their unwanted dead coat hair. Canberra, Australia I know that thing about the proper undercoat giving a matt look is written somewhere but I don't agree with it. Both my dogs have had excellent coats proper undercoat, 'hard' feeling along the back, and highly water-repellent. My black dog was shiny as anything, almost to the end of his 14 years, and even Obi, though yellow, has a gloss in the right light. Both desexed. The only dogs I've seen who could be described as matt have: - had no undercoat and a short, very soft coat overall with no 'hard' feel anywhere - been very underweight and with a poor coat overall - been extremely stressed due to a stay in a boarding kennel. I wouldn't describe a really proper Labrador coat as feeling silky.It should feel a touch coarse, or wiry as Snowbunny described it. The two important features are the undercoat which is not usually found right along the top of the back so don't look for it there, it's more along the sides and the water-shedding characteristic. I think all these different answers show how much variation there can be in real life I've read on here that desexing can take away the soft feel of a Spaniel's coat in females anyway. Have not heard of it affecting Labradors. Labradors are famous worldwide for their heavy shedding double-layer Coat. However, these organizations also recognize a sparse undercoat or no undercoat at all. This, in simpler words, means that even though Labradors are meant to have a double-layer coat, there are a few of them with a single coat as well. Although Labradors with single coats are very rare, they do exist in a small recognizable number. Double Coat Vs Single Coat Labradors Comparison Labradors are double-coated dogs with a coarse outer coat and a soft yet thicker undercoat. The double-layer Coat is an asset for Labradors, and not only is it visually appealing, but it also serves many practical purposes. This outer layer has thick, strong, and coarse hair strands , which are also known as Guard Hair. During the heavy shedding season, Labs often shed the outer layer in the form of strands. At the same time, the second part of the Double layer coat in Labradors is the undercoat. This layer is more likely dense, woolly, and soft, unlike what you may observe in many dogs around. The inner layer or undercoat works as an excellent insulator that keeps Lab warm during winters and simultaneously cools during summers. During the heavy shedding season, Labs often shed their undercoat fur in the form of mats and clumps. The water-proof protection also comes in handy during weather conditions like rainfall and snowfall. Labradors are meant for surviving in colder climates, and thus their Double Layer Coat promotes insulation. It keeps the dog warm regardless of how harsh the outdoor conditions are. However, the insulation of coats keeps them protected even from heat, but in case of no grooming and brushing, their Coat can prove as a source of heating. According to the breed standards in the dog shows, individuals participating with Single Coat Labradors must be severely penalized. No breeder produces Single Coat Labradors on purpose since such dogs are regarded as inferior. Single Coat Labradors most likely show their skin under the Coat, the only layer of the Coat. It may appear similar to a human scalp with less hair. Single Coat Labradors have a longer hair growth cycle, and they do not shed very often. Single Coat Labradors are prone to UV damage and skin irritation. How do I know if my Labrador is single or double-coated? If you have got your Labrador Retriever from a reputed and certified breeder, you definitely have a double-layer coat dog. It is extremely rare that a certified breeder will ever breed a single-layer coat Labrador on purpose, given such dogs can find many surviving challenges in the real world. However, even if by any chance you get to grab your hand on a single-layer coat Labrador, you can spot the difference very evidently. Labradors with double-layer coats appear fuller and fluffier due to a denser undercoat. Whereas Labradors with single-layer coats appear weak, and you can easily spot their skin under the Coat. Despite how physically fit they are, these Labs will appear malnourished, like any street dog or abandoned dog. A single Coat means one layer of fur and nothing underneath. Such dogs often need a human-made second coat for insulation during harsh winters. At the same time, dogs with Double coats have a separate undercoat and top Coat, whereas the inner one is made of soft fur and the outer one is made of thick, coarse hair. Given their dense Coat, such dogs are well-suited for mountain regions. Example of Dogs with Single Coat Greyhound. By Tom Massey Dec 09, A photo of shaved pets like a Husky, a Labrador, or Pomeranian may be comical because their long coats can be styled into fluffy shapes, but few things will spark outrage from knowledgeable pet owners like the topic of shaving your pets. The president of the California Professional Pet Groomers Association agrees that these stylistic shaves can be cute and funny. They also believe that shaving stops their frequent shedding. Neither is true. It could also make them uncomfortable. So, the only way to truly curb shedding is frequent grooming. Fur certainly does grow back, but the in-between can greatly irritate your pet. Labradors are notorious for being shaved, and many pet owners will passionately defend their right to shave their labs. However, the fur of any animal is an extension of their skin. It is an essential mechanism of protection from external factors such as the weather. Though Labs shed all year long, their fur will completely blow out twice a year. When Labradors blow their coats, they transition from a thick winter coat to a lighter undercoat meant to keep them cool in the heat. Conversely, in the fall, leading up to the winter, their undercoat blows out once more to make way for a warmer undercoat. The Double Coat Design Like a host of other double-coat dog breeds , Labradors have two layers of fur or hair. The primary, top layer known as a top coat is more wiry and rough or abrasive to the touch. Under this second, softer undercoat, there is a layer of fine hairs that run very close to the skin. The undercoat provides a fantastic summer cooling mechanism and winter insulation. In essence, the undercoat is protection, and when you shave your Lab, you strip them of this vital protection. Each hair follicle is attached to a muscle known as erector pili, which raises and lowers the hair in an ingenious natural ventilation system. Worse still, you could risk pulling back the follicle and opening it up to exposure through shaving. This is a prime gateway for bacteria or fungus to slip inside the skin. Fur grows back, and the soft undercoat becomes more coarse and frizzy and is more uncomfortable for your dog. Both layers are controlled by muscles that move the hair follicles up and down. Using these hair follicles, air moves through the primary and secondary coats. When you shave both layers, the quality of the fur that grows back is not as effective at conveying air in this natural cooling system. Melanin is crucial to protecting the skin from sunburns and the effects of UV rays. In fact, the reverse is true. The only solution to shedding is proper grooming. It reduces the amount of fur your Labrador will shed at home. It also helps to distribute natural oils across his fur, making it shinier and healthier over time. Share on. But their double coats unite them. The Top Coat The first part of a double coat is the top coat. These are the hairs which are most like the coat of single coated dogs. The strands are thick and strong. For this reason, they are sometimes also called guard hairs. The purpose of the top coat is to: Repel water — whether in the rain, or swimming. Deflect things from damaging the skin, such brambles and low hanging branches. Catch dirt and debris before it can work its way into the undercoat or onto the skin, so it stays easy to brush away. The Under Coat The second layer of fur, which sets a double coated dog apart from a single coated one, is the under coat. The under coat, or base layer, of a double coat is dense and woolly. Undercoat hairs are much narrower, but more densely packed. Their purpose is to provide insulation from extreme weather conditions, so the dog can maintain a steady body temperature. Wolves — the wild ancestors of all domestic dog breeds — also have a dense under coat. So double coats are a wild feature, which double coated dogs like Labradors have retained throughout domestication. Many of the double coated dog breeds are working dogs. In particular, a lot of them are herding breeds and guardian breeds, who originally worked for long days on exposed grassland, in all seasons. Their coats protected them from rain and wind in winter, and also intense sunshine in summer. A double coat is also a feature of many retrieving breeds. Like herding dogs, they routinely spend long days outdoors. A thick double coat was especially valuable for waterfowl retrieving breeds, like Labradors. Their undercoat is so dense that they can swim into ice cold water to retrieve fallen game, and their skin will stay warm and dry. Finally, double coats even provide cushioning against some injuries. Working guardian dogs would occasionally have to see off hungry predators with sharp teeth. Retrieving dogs might have to run through tough vegetation like gorse. And the smaller double-coated terrier breeds originally had to race underground to trap or flush out prey. In all these situations, a dog with an undercoat is more padded against injuries than a dog without. Double Coated Dog Grooming Double coated dog breeds are frequently notorious shedders too. Although some, like the Miniature Schnauzer, are notable exceptions. This means that for a week or two, they shed their undercoat very profusely. The purpose is to replace it with an entirely new undercoat, more appropriate to the changing weather. To minimize the amount of shed fur which lands on your floors and furniture, double coated dogs can be brushed regularly. Some owners also use a deshedding tool such as a Furminator to take control of seasonal shedding. It also Helps to disperse oils from the root to the tip, keeping it in tip-top, shiny, waterproof condition. Removes dirt and debris. Improves your chances of spotting ticks buried deep down against the skin, before they can do much harm. It might also seem like a kindness in the height of summer. Some double coated dogs are safe to clip. For example the Miniature Schnauzer. Others should never be clipped. For example Labradors, German Shepherds and Huskies. On the contrary, it insulates their body from the sun, so their core temperature stays pleasantly cool. Do Double Coated Dogs Smell? But, if their coat does get soaked through, it traps moisture for longer. If they swim in open water, that moisture is likely to contain all kinds of algae and microorganisms too. Which can start to get a bit whiffy. So always make sure your Labrador is rinsed off and fully dry after a bath or swim. Brushing their coat will help to distribute natural oils that clear away odors too. This can upset the delicate chemical balance of their skin, causing itching and flaking. It can also make them more vulnerable to fungal and bacterial infections, which smell even worse! Are All Labradors Double Coated? Labradors are famous for having heavy shedding, double coats. According to the breed standard, all Labs should have a thick double coat. They might also need a waterproof coat to protect them from heavy rain, high winds or low temperatures.

The Labrador Retriever has grown to be the most popular dog breed in America. The fishermen found that these dogs had great endurance and strength, so some used them to tow barges. For a while, these trusty fishing dogs waned in popularity in Canada due to a tax imposed on dog owners. Fortunately, British travelers coming to port decided to bring the dogs to England. The breed was refined by English hunters to be better suited for retrieving game and named the Labrador Retriever. Since the 20th century, the Labrador Retriever has grown to be the most popular dog breed in America. Physical Traits of a Labrador Retriever Labs have thick, sturdy bodies, broad heads, and long, otter-like tails that help them to steer themselves in the water. Their webbed toes make for better paddling and keep snow from clumping up between them. They grow to be between 21 and 24 inches at the highest part of their back and may weigh pounds. Labs have an inner coat that is thick and soft to protect their skin from wetness and cold temperatures. Their special double coat makes them waterproof!

Obesity is one of the most common health issues for Labradors, and hypothyroidism and diabetes are also not uncommon for the breed. When a dog becomes overweight, exercise can be tough on their joints and cause them pain. Moderating their treats and making sure to measure the proper amounts of food at mealtime are other ways to keep their weight in check. You can also opt for dog-safe fruits and veggies as an alternative to higher-calorie, processed treats.

These natural retrievers love to chase after toys and bring them back — in the yard or the water! Balls, rope toys, ring toys, Frisbees, and dummies will all work well for a game of fetch. Take them to the beach, a lake, a pond, or a backyard pool and let them paddle around. Playing a game of fetch or chase in the shallow waters near shore can also be lots of fun. Just to be safe, you may want to investigate purchasing a dog life jacket. Nose work, or scent work, involves hiding objects marked with various scents for your dog to track. The activity can be especially stimulating for Labrador Retrievers because of their natural drive to hunt, but any breed of dog may enjoy it. How to teach your Lab to do nose work: Get scents. Essential oils like anise, birch, and clover are great choices for nose work. You can douse the object with the oil or inject the scent using a special syringe called a scent injector, which you should be able to find at your local sporting goods store, or online. Choose the mark. Dummies work great for essential oils. Get a few and douse each one with a different smell! You can use plush dog toys, pieces of cloth, or strips of leather for scent marking too. It can also be fun to leave a scent trail to the objects. To do this, drag the scent-marked objects along the ground leading up to their hiding place, or squeeze some drops of essential oil on the way to the chosen hiding spot. This is standard in her line. I have attached a few photos below, each more unflattering than the previous and yes, she looks huge in the one at her water bucket, but this was taken two days after the one with the flowers. Anyway: she has a very hard, thick coat, with a very strong wave down the back. I know that not all Labs have the wave, and that it doesn't make her any better or worse than any others. People comment on it a lot—usually along the lines of "does she have poodle in her? She doesn't look all Lab" yeah, whatever , but to me she just has a pretty typical Lab coat. Maybe a little on the thick side. But typical. However, I have a friend who has a Lab rescue who has a very soft coat. It's not really long-haired, but it's certainly longer than my puppy's, and it's very soft. Not all the way to fluffy—but soft. By way of asking and hoping not to offend anyone : are soft-coated Labs common? I'd thought that my friend's dog was a mix, but when I first asked him—years ago—"So, what else is he? I'm really just curious, nothing more. My friend's dog strikes me as having something other than Lab, but I just can't place it. Flat-coated retriever? I wonder if he has some of that in him.I only know what I don't think it is. The dog looks very lab-y in face and body; it's just the coat that seems inconsistent but I admit that I may be wrong about most Labs having hard coats. Last edited by Abulafia; at PM.

Change in behavior: Your French Bulldog puppy will be in pain from time to time and might even be irritable. Try to distract them with teething toys and lots of attention. Mild fever: If you have ever had kids, you will know that they can get a little hot when teething. French Bulldog puppies are the same. Misaligned teeth: As the adult teeth come through, they might not always push a baby tooth. Your French Bulldog might have a bit of a redneck look at the two teeth sit together until the milk tooth falls out. Recommended French Bulldog teething toys All puppies need something to chew on when new teeth are coming through. They will try to chew your shoes, furniture… pretty much anything. To help your French Bulldog puppy when teething, instead invest in some teething toys that are hard and durable enough to give their gums relief. There are two teething toys we used with our own puppy which always worked a treat. Not only is a great for French Bulldogs to get their teeth around, but you can also put treats inside of it to mentally challenge them as well. What we also used to do was place ours in the freezer before letting our teething puppy have. That way it was really nice and cold and helped to soothe his sore gums. My second recommendation is the Nylabone dog chew on Amazon. This is how much they will end up chewing it! You might have to hide things, reduce their access to certain rooms, and keep a close eye on them. Chew proof your home: You might need to install stair gates to restrict access to certain rooms where your prized furniture is located. You might have to move things above their height. Nothing is safe from a teething French Bulldog puppy! Give them frozen treats: As well as chew toys, a piece of frozen carrot or an ice cube can really help to soothe their sore gums. Keep them exercised: French Bulldogs that have energy to burn will chew more than those that are tired out. Give your French Bulldog puppy a couple of walks a day and provide plenty of indoor play time too. Keep them entertained: Bored French Bulldogs tend to be destructive. Get their toys out to keep them mentally challenged and distracted whilst teething. Puppies can cause utter devastation whilst teething. You just need to look at how chewed the corner of our wooden dining room table was during the teething phase. French Bulldog teething can last a while and your furniture will know it! Did You Know? If you find that your French Bulldog continues to chew on things after teething has finished then it could be the sign of something else. This can include stress, boredom, worms, gastrointestinal problems, or even a dietary deficiency. What other owners say I am part many different French Bulldog social media groups, and recently asked people about their own experiences with their own puppies and teething. Bored French Bulldogs will start chewing your things when they teethe. Nylabone and Kong Toys are two of my faves. Bully sticks and Himalayan cheese sticks are good. We also use real bones from the meat department at our local store, frozen so they last longer, and our dogs love them. If your French Bulldog is teething and eats dry food try and soften the biscuits as chewing hard food can be a big turn off put for them as their gums can be quite sensitive. Puppies crave different things at different times and are learning what their teeth can do in addition to the teething that they are going through. I recommend 20 different teething toys and rotate them. They hate the smell and it will stop them chewing your stuff. And give him chews. It is boredom that makes them chew more than anything. Just put a knot in each end and wet them, then freeze them! He loved it and still just loves playing with tea towels now at nearly 2 years old. Would recommend putting the tea towel in a food bag when freezing. How much pain they are will vary from puppy to puppy — our own dog had quite mild teething pain from what we could tell, but it depends on the dog. But, almost all of them will chew. You can expect to see little teeth on the floor or stuck into things they have chewed on, plus those little blood spots I mentioned. At this time of their dental development, your puppy will need your love and support, plenty of chewable toys, patience, and understanding. You might also like… If you enjoyed this guide to French Bulldog teething ages and how long it all lasts, then you might also like these other French Bulldog puppy related articles:. Open their mouth slowly and gently, and check if their teeth and gum are all fine. Repeat this often so that later on you can save yourself some biting. Those harmless-looking little teeth can be really sharp! Using a toothbrush and toothpaste might come to your mind first, which is definitely an option, although not the most fun one. Make sure that you get a toothpaste which is specifically designed for dogs and is vet-approved! You should never use human toothpaste, as fluoride is a poisonous substance for dogs. Giving dental chews and sticks to your Frenchie is one of the easiest ways of keeping their teeth clean as they are designed to rub all the plaque away. Puppies usually love chewing on these, so they can be used as an everyday treat after mealtime. You simply need to peel it and give it to your baby in whole times a week. You can easily recognize it from its yellow or brownish color, and since it appears close to the gums, it can cause them to get inflamed and even bleed. Bad breath and excessive drooling can also be signs of tartar, as well as loss of appetite in rare cases. After anaesthetizing your baby, your vet will use ultrasonic scalers to remove the tartar by the gum line and then will polish the teeth. With the passage of time, their gum gets inflamed much easier due to the bacteria in their mouth, which will then slowly lead to their gum slowly disappearing around their teeth.

The Earliest Records of White Toy Poodles in History Though the origin of the poodle has been debated between France and Germany, it has been well established that they most likely originated in Germany as water dogs. Their intelligence, athleticism, and obedient nature led breeders to produce smaller versions of the breed, which ultimately led to the Miniature Poodle, referred to as the toy poodle until .These smaller dogs were much easier to travel with and performed well in the circus for traveling venues. The white toy poodle that we know and love today did not exist until the 20th century when they bred the breed down even smaller. At first, many birth defects, health issues, and behavioral concerns were common in the toy poodles until more strict breeding practices were implemented. Eventually, the toy poodle was perfected into a healthy, well-rounded replica of the larger poodles. Their popularity soared even more from the s through the s when many prominent public figures openly owned and showed off their beloved poodles of all sizes. To this day, white toy poodles and many other coat colors and patterns remain a very popular companion breed thanks to their loving, devoted, and friendly nature. They are also extremely popular among allergy sufferers since they do not shed. Recognition of this popular breed was established shortly after these clubs were founded. While they may come in different sizes, each variety is held to the same breed standard. Image Credit: NicoPerez, Shutterstock 2. The Classic Poodle Haircut Serves a Purpose Rather than being a distinct fashion trend for the breed, the classic poodle cut is meant to increase functionality in the water. Fur grows to a certain point and then is shed, while hair continuously grows. Image Credit: Jagodka, Shutterstock 5. Many Designer Toy Breeds Are Created with Toy Poodles There are plenty of popular pedigreed toy breeds for small dog lovers to choose from, but designer hybrids breeds have been growing in popularity over the years to bring out the best traits of both parent breeds and fewer genetic health concerns. Toy poodles contribute to many designer breeds like the Cockapoo, Yorkipoo, Pomipoo, Schnoodle, Peekapoo, Shihpoo, and more. Granted, the toy poodles came a bit later when selective breeding took place to make a more size-friendly version of the breed. They Are High Maintenance It may come as no surprise that these elegant dogs may be a bit more on the high-maintenance side. Their unique coats require regular grooming to prevent tangles or mats. Unlike a lot of other breeds, poodles do not shed, and their hair will continue to grow, a grooming session once every 6 to 8 weeks is generally the recommendation. Smaller dogs are highly susceptible to dental disease and proper hygiene is an important preventative measure. Image Credit: Natallia Yaumenenka, Shutterstock 8. White Toy Poodles Are Incredibly Intelligent Poodles are a very intelligent breed, and you can surely expect that your tiny white toy poodle will be a smart cookie in a small package. These dogs are alert, responsive, lively, and eager to please, making them easy to train. They are very devoted to their owners and will genuinely enjoy the challenges and rewards of positive reinforcement training. Although they may not have the size of the standard poodle and were bred for companionship, they do have daily exercise requirements that need to be met. Owners should expect to set aside around 60 minutes per day for this breed to expend their energy and get in some needed physical and mental stimulation. They Can Make Great Watchdogs Toy poodles may be incredibly friendly, but they can be a bit territorial and may not come off that way with strangers. If a Toy Poodle hears anything unusual or suspects anything out of the ordinary, you can expect to be alerted. They are prone to excessive barking, so it is recommended to start training at an early age to get control. Toy poodles fit the criteria for being the ideal family dog. Unlike some other toy breeds that have less tolerance for young children, these dogs are known for being great with little ones. Of course, this is based on the individual dog, and one should always remain cautious with any dog around small children. Not only are they very loving and affectionate, but they are also small and easy to train. Their intelligence and eagerness to please were one of the reasons breeders selectively bred them into this tiny, toy size. While no dogs can technically be considered hypoallergenic, since poodles have hair as opposed to fur like most dogs, they are much more allergy-friendly and are extremely popular among dog lovers that suffer from allergies. These little tikes require a good amount of activity and mental stimulation to prevent them from becoming bored and destructive. They will need to get in their daily dose of activity to thrive. Something to consider is that white toy poodles are very attached to their family and do not do well when left alone. This is a breed that commonly suffers from separation anxiety. They have the potential to make wonderful pets if owners are prepared to meet their physical, mental, and higher-maintenance grooming needs. Image Credit: Jagodka, Shutterstock Conclusion The white toy poodle is one of the many coat color variations of the beloved toy poodle. The poodle breed is among the most popular dog breeds that have been around for centuries. They were selectively bred into three different recognized size varieties so that dog owners could enjoy the wonderful qualities of the breed in a size that suits them best. In the beginning, there was only Standard Poodle breed but later on, smaller Poodle types were developed by different breeders. The smaller Poodles became more popular because they were purebred as they developed from two Poodles. These dogs became first popular in Paris and the Toy Poodles were a popular choice of the elite class. For this reason, the Toy Poodle dog breed also became the national dog of France. Toy Poodles were also found in circuses very commonly because of their high intelligence. It was very easy to teach them new tricks and the public also praised them a lot. However, they are not similar and you can distinguish them by their eye colors. White Toy Poodles become the best family companions. Their height is a maximum of 10 inches and their coat is either harsh, curly, or dense. Origin: It is often believed that Poodles are associated with France because they were very popular there. However, some say that this breed first originated in Germany and then found its way to France where it became a very popular choice as a family companion. Several theories are used to explain the origin of Poodles. One of these theories explains that the ancestors of these dogs were Barbet from North Africa while the other says that they were from Asia and were used for herding. There is no proof as to which of these theories is the most accurate therefore the ancestry of these dogs is still unclear. As mentioned before, Toy Poodles were developed late after the Standard Poodles. Each of these Poodles had different roles, as the Standard Poodles were used to hunt while the Miniatures were used to sniff. The Toy Poodles were adorable so they were the best for a family pet. How this breed made its way to the United States is still unknown but all of these three versions were registered together by AKC in .What are the distinguishing qualities associated with white toy poodles? It is a friend that can be pretty sharp despite his little size. However, he is capable of much more. And in terms of his performance, he easily outperforms a significant number of other individuals who are members of his species. Even throughout the Middle Ages, some in the circus community were aware of his exceptional brilliance. The white toy Poodle dwarf, which is the smallest and healthiest form of the Poodle breed, is an excellent pick for a companion animal for the home. In addition to that, he is an excellent choice for a companion for unattached people of any age. He possesses an above-average learning capacity as well as a high level of social competency at the same time. The toy poodle is lively and eager for an intellectual challenge; all it needs is a wise spouse. Despite this, it has a high degree of adaptability, along with being user-friendly, and is an excellent fit for virtually any way of life. The only noticeable difference between White Toy Poodles and other Poodles is their white color. Otherwise, they have the same temperament, intelligence, and coat type as the other Poodles. The only thing that differentiates them is their color and size. They are adorable because of their white color, otherwise, they have the same characteristics and behavior as all other Poodles. Knowing these factors will make you fall in love with this amazing dog breed. White Toy Poodles are smarter than they look: One of the biggest misconceptions people have about White Toy Poodles is that they are only beautiful but not intelligent. However, this is wrong because Poodles are among the most intelligent dog breeds all over the world. Due to their intelligence, these dogs are a popular choice for people who are first-time dog owners. This is because they can easily adjust to families and they are easy to train as well. Toy Poodles can read the mood of their Owners: One of the most interesting things about this breed is that they can read the mood of their owners. These dogs are sensitive and they can easily detect any change in your mood or emotions. Due to this characteristic, these dogs are considered the best family pets because they can feel you. When you are happy, they will love to play with you, but when you are sad, they try to make you feel better; they cuddle and snuggle up. Also, there is one thing you need to understand. Any anger or harsh treatment from you will affect these dogs as they are more sensitive than any other dog breed. Therefore, you must be careful in your behavior and the way you are interacting with these dogs. But the hairs on their body resemble much the human hairs. It simply grows like human hair. Also, you will not find dog fur on your couches and sofas. But you have to brush their hair more frequently and trim them when required. They need as much exercise as a bigger Poodle: Due to the small size of these dogs, it is often considered that they do not need much exercise as a bigger Poodle does. However, the reality is the opposite. Toy Poodles need exercise as much as a bigger Poodle needs, otherwise, the dogs may show antsy behaviors just like the bigger breeds. Moreover, this kind of behavior can lead a Poodle to destructive acts. Their hairstyle was a Stylish trend: Back in the past, the trademark haircut of the White Toy Poodle was considered very classy but some people considered it silly too. Some naysayers said that with this hairstyle, the dogs looked less like competent pets and more like show dogs. However, the purpose of the haircut was not just fashion or modeling. The dogs had different roles to play. Their hairstyle helped them cross the water bodies and protect them from the chills of streams and rivers. Color Genetics: There are different color options that you will find in Toy poodles, but this color often changes with time as the dog grows older. Among all the colors, white is the most common color in Toy Poodles. However, the hair type is classified as black because these dogs have dark eyes and black noses. This feature makes them different from Albino Poodles. At present, the White color in Poodle is still a mystery because no gene is directly responsible for this color. The sad thing about Poodles is that they are prone to deafness because this problem is often associated with dog breeds of white color. General Appearance: The only thing that makes these Poodles different from others is their white color. They have a fanciful style, moreover, their coat is usually dense but sometimes it can become harsh because the hairs grow into curls. Due to their coat, and small size, these Poodles often give a cute teddy bear look. Average Size of White Toy Poodles: According to the breed standards, a Poodle is considered Toy if its maximum height is 10 inches or less than 10 inches. But a Poodle taller than that will be considered a Miniature Poodle. Moreover, the average weight of White Toy Poodles ranges between 6 to 9 pounds and not more than that. Intelligence, Behavior, and Traits of White Toy Poodles: The white color has nothing to do with the personality traits of this breed, so you can expect all Toy Poodles to behave in the same way. However, some factors play a major role such as the training and environment they are living in. These dogs are excellent family companions and they do very well with other pets at home. As a pet owner, you have to be responsible and take care of a lot of factors of their good emotional and mental state. They are the healthiest dogs and they would rarely fall into some illness. Make sure you are getting your dog from a trustful dog breeder who can provide you with all the information. This is because the health depends upon its parents and the breeding conditions. However, there are some diseases peculiar to this breed. Not all the members fall victim to these health problems but still, you should be aware of these if you are looking for a White Toy Poodle. Deafness Deafness is one of the most common health problems in dog breeds with white coloration. It can be a struggle for these dogs but they can still live normal lives and adapt to the conditions. The symptoms of hypothyroidism include the unexpected gain in weight and baldness also. Epilepsy: This is one of the most serious health conditions compared to all others and it is characterized by seizures. It can either be inherited or can be the result of some other illness.
