Beating or hitting Labradors when they behave in an undesirable manner will not help them become better trained dogs. Rather, they will become fearful of you, which will ultimately defeat the training process. It is easy to apply human morality and motivation to your Labrador. But the fact of the matter is that your Labrador is not human and 'just is' and 'just does'. For example, eating the sleeve of your best work shirt is not a conscious act on behalf of your dog to upset you. Oftentimes, the shirt was just there and it was chewable. Instead of becoming exasperated with and angry at your Labrador for chewing your shirt, encourage him to chew his play toy and reward him with praise for doing so. Clicker training facilitates the immediate delivery of positive reinforcement. Labradors are highly trainable because they are so food motivated and this makes clicker training ideal for them. The clicker itself is a tiny plastic box held in the palm of your hand. It has a metal tongue that you push to instantly make the sound. The method works by teaching the dog that every time he hears the clicking sound, he gets a treat. Eventually the dog will come to learn that clicks are always followed by treats and this is a very powerful incentive for Labradors. Once your dog makes this connection, you can use the clicker to instantly reward the Labrador for performing the right behavior such as sitting down. Over time, he will learn that sitting down when "on command" gets him rewards. Most dogs are constantly hungry. Labradors in particular are food-oriented and motivated. For example, if your Labrador is gnawing through your settee, encourage him to pick up his play toy and then reward him with a treat and make a great fuss of him. The treats can gradually give way to praise and, over time, your Labrador will learn not to chew on your settee. Cooked kidney is a cheap alternative to buying dog treats and is also very easy to prepare and cut up. Many dogs will even work for their regular dog kibble. Giving treats as a reward for the behavior you wish to encourage should be used only as a starting measure. Treats should soon be replaced with praise as the reward, otherwise the dog may become overweight or even obese. Some trainers recommend having a dog with attention problems have to earn every kibble in his bowl, instead of being fed large meals at one time. For instance, if your Labrador has taken to either launching himself at passers by or other dogs or barking at people and other dogs, then you should try to distract him. You need to temporarily interrupt your Labrador's stream of thought by talking to or commanding him or by an action such as stomping your foot. Prepare ahead of the actual distraction by working on distraction techniques with treats in low distraction settings and at home. Make sure you follow through with praise and treats. As you get more confident where it is quiet, increase the level of difficulty by walking around the block or near a dog park to work on his skills. Work up slowly to added distraction and you will both gain confidence in your Labrador's ability to handle a crowd. A professional dog trainer, such as one from the Association of Professional Dog Trainers APDT , is highly knowledgeable about dogs and can help you learn basic handling skills. Though it is an added expense, having professional assistance is beneficial because it helps you and your energetic dog communicate effectively. You may even consider consulting a veterinary behaviorist. These are veterinarians who have additional training and expertise in animal behavior. They are wonderful dogs. Be fair, consistent, and clear. They'll reward you in turn with love and affection! For weeks before you actually see any blood, there are physiological processes hormonal changes at work which will eventually trigger the heat cycle. So just because her vulva isn't swollen yet, doesn't mean this isn't related to her first heat. In addition, often there is little physical warning for the first heat in terms of vulval swelling - the body isn't prepared for what is about to happen! The 'naughty teenager' stage which people talk about, shouldn't really occur if you've trained the dog and raised the dog well - before this point. You will then have that training and work to fall back on. The 'naughty teenager' stage occurs because people have previously been relying on an immature puppy's sense of insecurity and attachment to the owner - an immature puppy in the wild by themselves, would die. They are therefore dependent on their attachment figures for safety. When the pup grows up, this is no longer the case. Unless training is there to take over from this temporary 'sticking with my people' phase, you can suddenly find you have an unresponsive dog.This doesn't explain the restlessness at night.At 7 months, my dogs would still be crated, so there wouldn't be a chance for them to learn to go wandering around the house at night. Night time is firmly established as a time for sleep that way Click to expand.Thanks for all the info Jo, I'd consider her pretty well trained so hopefully she doesn't take too many steps backwards. Sorry I should have made it more clear, by "at night" I just mean in the evenings. For example when we are sat watching TV she usually naps but lately she's been too restless to settle down. She is still sleeping perfectly throughout the night until morning thank god. They teach them how to play, how to clean themselves, and how to behave. A litter of puppies who recently faced the wrath of their mother has gone viral on TikTok in a video posted by 6. It has been viewed over 1. In the video, six chubby chocolate Labrador retrievers can be seen cowering in the kitchen after being told off by their mother. You're scared of mom right now? Stock image of a litter of chocolate Labrador puppies. Puppies have been filmed cowering in a kitchen after being told off by their mom. Mother dogs have very strong maternal instincts and will give their undivided love and attention to their litter. By roughly their fourth week, the transition from milk to solids takes place, known as weaning , and the mother will begin to slowly distance herself from her pooches, and start disciplining them as they become more adventurous and begin to test boundaries. Most dogs will make it clear when their puppies have pushed it too far, possibly by simply moving away or issuing them with a snarl or growl, or possibly a bark. Exercise Labradors are a breed that is meant to get exercise on a daily basis. If your Labrador has not been getting much exercise it could be why it has been being naughty. This would be more likely if it is naughtier on days where it does not get much exercise. Generally, it is recommended for them to get at least an hour of exercise per day. If your Labrador has not been getting that much exercise, it would help to make sure that it does, provided that it is healthy. Training If you have not given your Labrador much training then it will not know how it is meant to behave and it will behave the way that it feels like behaving. The way that it feels like behaving is unlikely to be the way that you would like it to behave. This is why it is important to give it lots of training. It would help to start by training it to do the basics such as to sit and stay using positive reinforcement training and then to build up from there. Attention The reason why it has been being naughty could be that it has realized that it results in you giving it more attention. This would be more likely if it tends to be naughty when you have not been giving it much attention and if you tend to give it more attention when it does it. Instead, it would help to give it attention throughout the day by playing with it, training it and exercising it. But, it would also help to avoid rewarding it with attention, when it is naughty, unless necessary. Fear The cause could be that something has been causing it to be fearful. This would be more likely if it starts being naughty at specific times where it might be fearful such as when there are fireworks outside. Location If your Labrador listens to you in certain locations but not in others, it could be the case that the location has something to do with it. The different distractions that it has in the new location can be too much for it to remember what you trained it to do before. Your best option here would be to train it again in the new environment as you did in the old environment. Instead, it would help to reward it when it is being well behaved and to avoid giving it rewards when it is naughty. In this case, it would help to give it lots of things to chew on and to train it to learn what is ok to chew and what is not. I have written more about this in this blog post. An issue with its diet The cause could be that there is an issue with its diet. An issue with its diet would be more likely to be the problem if it started being naughty, suddenly, after a change in its diet. It would help to make sure that no one else has been feeding it without you knowing and it would help to talk to your local vet about its diet when you next take it for a checkup. Separation anxiety The cause could also be that it has separation anxiety. This would be more likely to be the reason if it becomes naughty while you are away. In this case, you could try to reduce how anxious it becomes without you by doing something such as: Make it seem like you are about to leave by doing something such as picking up your keys Reward your Labrador for not being anxious and repeat these two steps a few times Make more moves towards actually leaving such as by picking up the keys and putting your hand on the door handle Reward your Labrador for not being anxious and repeat the process a few times Actually open the door and go outside for a few moments then come back and reward your Labrador Repeat the above, each time staying outside for slightly longer You can see more tips on how to do this in the video below: How to get your Labrador to stop being naughty Below are some options you have when getting it to be better behaved. Train it If you have not given your Labrador much training yet it would help to start doing so. By giving it training you should be able to get it to learn to behave the way you want it to and to improve your relationship with it. If your Labrador is being naughty then it will likely be trying to destroy things. You can watch the video below to see how. Exercise As mentioned above, it is important to make sure that your Labrador is able to get daily exercise. It is generally recommended for them to get at least an hour of exercise per day when they are healthy. If your Labrador is getting exercise daily but it is still being naughty, you could try wearing it out more by getting it to do things such as play fetch. Reduce its ability to be naughty You can also take measures to reduce how naughty it is able to be. Crate training Another option would be to give it crate training which is meant to give it an area to go and feel safe when done effectively. You can watch the video below to see how to train it to become comfortable in its crate. Get help If you cannot get your Labrador to start being well behaved, you could get the help of a dog trainer or behaviorist. By doing so you should be able to get expert advice tailored towards your dog and to see how to train it effectively. Things to consider Below are some things to consider about your Labrador being naughty. Be patient It would help to be patient when training it since it is unlikely that you will be able to get it to drastically change its behavior with just one training session. But, if you stick with it, you should be able to get much better results over the course of weeks and months. Avoid punishing it It would also help to avoid punishing it since it might not know why it is being punished and it could cause it to become resentful. Instead, it would help to change its behavior with the use of positive reinforcement training. When it first started doing it It would also help to consider what else happened when it first started being naughty since it could be the case that there was an event that caused it to start being naughty. If it started doing it suddenly it would be more likely to be due to things such as a change in its diet, teething, realizing that it gets rewards when it does it or a sudden change in its daily routine. When it misbehaves more It would also help to consider the timing of when it misbehaves since it could be the case that the timing has something to do with it. For example, if it is well behaved after getting exercise, it could be the case that it needs more exercise. In this case, you could try giving it more exercise in the mornings. Aggression Begging The first two problems are more commonly seen when your Labrador is still young. The last two can happen at any age. If you get mad or yell, they may believe that it is your way of showering them with care. So, to correct their behavior without indulging them, you will need to redirect their attention. For example, if your Labrador is chewing on something they should not, calmly stop them. Once they stop, give them a toy that they can play with instead and provide them with a treat afterward. This will help your Labrador understand that they do not need to misbehave to get your attention or to have fun. If you need ideas on what toys you can have your Lab play with, you can refer to our post on the most popular dog toys here. Tip 2: Have a schedule. If your dog does not have a schedule, they are more likely to misbehave because they feel bored or anxious. Labradors like structure and schedule, so it would be best to create one. Try to feed, walk, play with your Lab at the same time each day. You can also implement a routine for normal sleeping times. Since your Labrador will know what to do and when to do it, they will encourage them to misbehave less. Tip 3: Give them obedience training. However, basic obedience training is actually a crucial part of stopping Naughty Labrador behavior. As we mentioned earlier, Labradors like structure. If they know that they have to listen to you, they will recognize it as a structure that they will have to follow. By giving them basic and regular obedience training, it will help you break their destructive habits. Check out this post for a list of tips on how you can teach your dogs to sit and stay. Tip 4: Engage them in physical exercise. A Labrador retriever owner going on a jog with her Lab Labradors have tons of energy. When they do not use that energy, they are more likely to start chewing up your furniture to release it. You need to make sure your Labrador gets enough exercise to be less likely to misbehave. When your Labrador is a puppy, they need five minutes of exercise for every month of age. For example, three-month-old Labs need 15 minutes of exercise, while four-month-old Labradors need 20 minutes. When your Lab becomes an adult, the amount of exercise they will need will depend on their age. Healthy and normal Labradors usually need at least one hour of exercise every day. If your Labrador is relaxed, they probably need 45 minutes. To give your dog some exercise, you can play fun games with them like fetch or tug of war. You can also give them regular walks several times a day. If you want to work out with your Labrador, you can go on a jog or a run together. Tip 5: Prevent possible bad behavior. Preventing bad behavior is just as important as correcting bad behavior. If your dog likes to chew up the pillows, you can put them away while you are not home. You can put a fence around your garden to protect it. Doing small things like this will keep them from creating bad habits. Tip 6: Engage them in mental exercise. Labradors usually get bored because they are smart dogs that need to be mentally stimulated. Just like their other muscles, their brains need exercise, too. You can use some ways to challenge your Labrador, including giving them a puzzle toy or teaching them new tricks. You can also play find-the-toy or hide-and-seek with them! Tip 7: Keep them inside the house. Labrador Retrievers are a social dog breed that wants to be near you and your family. Your Labrador will feel lonely if they spend too much time outside away from people. When your Labrador feels lonely, they will be more likely to dig, howl, bark, or chew to try to catch your attention and cure their boredom. Therefore, you may want to keep them inside the house with you. Tip 8: Reward properly. You might be tempted to give your Labrador a treat to stop them from barking, chewing, etc. However, giving them treats will make your labrador think that their Naughty behavior is acceptable. Instead of giving them treats when they misbehave, you need to learn how to properly reward and discipline them. Drawing a clear line between good and bad will help you teach your dog how to behave well. Only give your dog rewards whenever they listen to you. They will want to continue being good if they think that they will please you and get a reward for their good behavior. Tip 9: Establish dominance. If you let your Labrador do whatever they want whenever they want, they will think that they are the alpha of the pack. You need to establish your dominance to show them that you are the leader. To establish dominance without yelling or harming your Lab, be firm with them to show them that you are in charge. You can also follow the other tips above, e. All in All It is important to correct bad Labrador behavior as early as possible to keep it from getting out of hand. You can also refer to this post if you need other tips on how to discipline a young dog. Teaching your Labrador retriever proper behavior may take time. Still, the love and affection that you will receive, in turn, will be worth it. Post navigation. Changing naughty Labrador behavior Would you like all that to change but not sure where to start? You can also get my free training tips by email. And then find some ways to get you back on track. What is Naughty Labrador Behavior? The chances are your dog has a few naughty behaviors. Most dogs pick up a few bad habits along the way, especially if their owners are inexperienced. The most common problems experienced by people struggling with their Labradors are Pulling on the leash Ignoring the recall, and not listening generally Chewing and destructiveness Rough and boisterous play The last two tend to feature most strongly in the first eighteen months. But the first two can occur in Labradors of any age. So how can we fix these problems? Improving Labrador Behavior We usually need a two pronged approach to fixing naughtiness. Obviously we need to get going on some training. But training takes time. For example, while you are teaching your dog not to barge through the front door without your permission, you could put a baby gate across your hallway to keep him behind it. Or have your dog trail a houseline so that you can pick up the end and control him when necessary. It is also about teaching dogs good default behaviors — ways to behave in common everyday situations. Ways to greet guests for example. So, one way to be good is for a dog to obey your commands or cues as we now call them. Another way to be good is for a dog to know how to behave in certain contexts, without being given any cues at all. Hopping into his basket when the doorbell rings for example, instead of barking and lunging at the door. Both these approaches form an important part of any good dog training program. Well the good news is, that all dogs can be trained, even the naughtiest ones. The bad news is that it will take a little time, a little knowledge and a little effort on your part. Properly structured modern training methods are fun! So essentially, we are going to be talking about training. Why Labrador Training Gets Neglected Some people never get started with training their dog for all manner of reasons. Often because they are just not sure where to start. Maybe you have tried training your Labrador and failed? Perhaps you have a really difficult dog? Or perhaps you are really short of time? For example, a dog that is straying too far on walks can be taught to stay closer to his owner using the About Turn Walk. Sometimes there are so many problems or a single problem is so bad, that the simplest solution is to start from the beginning again. In fact, there is never any harm in starting over. Pretend he knows nothing. Invent new names for some of the skills he needs to learn, and start from scratch using effective training techniques. A great way to get started is with my Foundation Skills course. This helps you gain the skills you need in order to successfully re-train your dog. And it helps your dog learn how to work with you, and focus on you. Have you failed in training before? It can be very difficult to get going with re-training a dog when you have failed in the past. It is really worth remembering that most people fail many times before they succeed. At a whole range of tasks and endeavours. And dog training is no exception. You can change any one of these factors The fact that you failed before is a really bad excuse for not starting. Are you worried you are too soft on your Labrador? If you think you are too soft to control your dog, think again! All you need is a willingness to find out how reinforcement actually works. And to apply the tried and tested methods that work. Modern training is fun for both of you! Is your Labrador a Difficult Dog? The concept of the difficult or naughty dog is a very common one. Believing that the dog is the problem has its advantages. The problem with blaming the dog, is that the problem never gets fixed. Taking Responsibility for your Dog Training The answer to most dog training or behavior problems is to bite the bullet and take full responsibility. This can be a bit daunting, but it is the only way to resolve any problems that you are having with your dog. This is often less challenging than you might think. You are going to be changing his behavior by taking control of its consequences. Short of time? It is amazing what you can achieve in just a few minutes a day. For most of us, the hardest part is just getting started. And modern training is really quick! Can you find ten minutes each morning and each evening to spend with your dog? And ten minutes, morning and evening, five or six times a week, is all you need to get started. If you make a habit out of dog training it will become as natural as cleaning your teeth. So start small, and build up slowly. Begin with just three minutes a day. At the same time, every day. Make a habit of this three minutes, rain or shine and before you know where you are, it will be second nature. Then and only then, start to increase the length of your training sessions. Build up to your ten minutes gradually. Make this the habit you never break. What you need is information In order to effectively change naughty behavior, you also need some basic information. You need to know how dogs learn from the consequences of their actions, and how to control those consequences yourself. You can find a great deal of this training information on this website, and on our training site dogsnet. My book Total Recall explains how to do this when teaching your dog to come to your whistle. The whole book focuses on this one important skill. You can buy Total Recall from Amazon by following this link. What can I do in just three minutes? In a three minute session you can do some clicker training. Keep a bag of little pieces of dog kibble and a clicker handy at all times , and all you need to do is grab them and start. Something simple is best. And simple skills are a useful way of engaging your dog when he is in new or distracting situations. You can train your dog There is only one difference between good dogs and bad dogs. And our intelligent and quick witted Labs thrive on training. Not only does your dog have enormous potential. You do too! You can train your dog. By yourself if necessary. You have all the ability it takes. You just need to give yourself a chance.

Typically a Black Poodle is bred with a Black Lab, but since black is a dominant color, sometimes another color of poodle red, chocolate, etc , can still have black puppies. Black Labradoodles have become wildly popular for their sweet, lovable nature, familiar black color, low-shedding and hypoallergenic coat characteristics. Labradoodles come in other colors, such as chocolate, yellow, cream, parti-colors, and occasionally red, but some people love the sweet nature of a Black Labradoodle. Many first generation Black Labradoodles f1 will shed. We recommend getting an F1b Black Labradoodle if you're worried about shedding or have dog allergies.

A Black Labradoodle is the happiest when they are surrounded by people that they love.

While other Black Labradoodles receive the excitable and almost immature nature of the Labrador Retrievers. As the Black Labradoodle becomes more common and breeders are crossing them with more consistency the discrepancies are becoming less of an issue and the breed is becoming more consistent. It is important to realize that the AKC does not yet recognize Black Labradoodles as an official breed, though most other registrations recognize them. The AKC actually does not yet recognize any of the doodles.

Although the color is called "blue" in the dog world it is almost a gun metal gray. Silver Labradoodles are a lighter silver color than a Blue Labradoodle.

Rare colors in French Bulldog puppies can be exceptionally expensive and there is some debate about how healthy a rare colored Frenchie can be. Frenchies are one of the few breeds that come in a bewildering variety of colors. Most Frenchies are Brindle. This is a dark colored coat mixed with lighter color strands of hair and the most frequently found color in the Frenchie. Fawn is a lighter tan colored coat that can range from very light to a dark reddish tan. These French Bulldogs often have a darker face mask and ears with some brindle streaks thrown in for variety. The third most common color in this breed is white. White French Bulldogs have a very porcelain white coat and most of the time come with a darker mask. Frenchies with tan points - black and tan Frenchie, blue and tan Frenchie, lilac and tan Frenchie, chocolate and tan Frenchie etc. Trindles - French Bulldogs which have brindle in their tan points. All black French Bulldogs - with no trace of brindle is also quite rare. The Blue French Bulldog is one of the rarest colors. For that reason alone people pay very high prices for them. There is usually a waiting list for blue aren't so much blue as gray puppies. You can expect to pay twice or triple as much for a blue French Bulldog than the average price for a standard French Bulldog. Blue Frenchies are quite striking however can be prone to Color Dilution Alopecia or CDA ;a recessive inherited condition that causes patches of hair thinning or loss. This is most commonly seen in dogs with blue or fawn coats. The puppies are born normal looking, but the hair thinning and loss symptoms can start at 6 months up to several years later. It is most often associated with Blue Dobermans. CDA is not curable but it's fairly easy to manage. It is important to mention that our blue Frenchie never suffered from any symptoms to his coat. Not all blue Frenchies will be prone to the coat problems however, your vet can help you keep your blue French Bulldog healthy and happy if any issue arises. Blue Frenchies get cold easily - Some owners have stated the blue Frenchie gets cold easily, we are unsure if this is just a myth or based on actual research. Either way French Bulldogs can't regulate their body temperature well. Having any Frenchie in cold climate is not ideal due to their short coat. If you live in a cold climate there are ways you can keep your Frenchie warm. Always dress your French Bulldog with our specially tailored for Frenchies hoodies , Frenchie pajamas etc. The blue Frenchie skin condition can also impact your grooming regime. We have not experienced any of the above with our blue Frenchie. We also know plenty of the standard color Frenchies who suffer from skin conditions and allergies. We are not trying to promote or discourage buying the standard or rare colors we simply don't discriminate over colors. We love all our French Bulldogs friends that come in all colors of the rainbow. What are the different coat colors of a Blue Frenchie puppy? All Blue Frenchie - meaning all blue without any other colors to the coat. Blue Pied Frenchie - Frenchies with blue coats and patches of white or cream on their bellies, chest, legs etc. Blue fawn Frenchie- Frenchie coat that looks like a mix of blue and fawn. Blue brindle Frenchie - Blue coated French Bulldog puppy with brindle streaks. Blue merle Frenchie - a combination of different patches and streaks that are irregular and unusual. Blue and Tan Frenchie - Blue coated French Bulldog puppy with tan points usually around paws and face. A sable Frenchie usually looks like a fawn Frenchie with darker black hairs covering throughout the coat. There are rare Frenchies with cream or tan sable coats as well. Isabella French bulldogs Isabella color in French bulldogs come from dilution of the recessive gene. A Frenchie puppy can be born with a blue coat and mature to a more of a pale greyish brown or golden coat. For a puppy to acquire this rare coat color he or she needs to have the genotype dd. DNA of an Isabella Frenchie puppy will be ddbb which means that he or she will have two copies of each chocolate and blue gene. The Isabella Frenchie is the only lilac that is testable for the chocolate gene therefore some French Bulldog breeders consider the Isabella to be the true lilac. This rare French bulldog color is usually the most expensive due to their stunning looks and variety of rare coats. Isabella Frenchies usually look different with lighter shades of noses and eyes. Why are they so much more expensive than other popular breeds? Most Frenchies can't have live babies the normal way. They have narrow hips that aren't designed for natural birth. The high price tag reflects the expense of artificial insemination and c-sections to deliver the puppies. They also require constant attention and care when they are born. They require many health and genetic exams. These dogs have always been expensive. Reports have it one of the wealthy individuals named Robert Williams Daniel who survived the Titanic had his Frenchie along with him.

Buying a well bred French Bulldog can help avoid a lifetime of vet bills and care. You are much more likely to get a happy, healthy dog who can enjoy a full, rich life. Merle is a pattern in a dog's coat. Merle French Bulldogs can have tiger stripes, spots, or patches. These come in different colors and patterns and are determined by heredity and genetics. Health issues can occur when two merle dogs are bred, therefore breeders usually mate a merle parent with a solid coat parent. While Merle French Bulldogs can be quite exotic and strikingly beautiful, this kind of breeding can come with a number of serious problems from skeletal defects to blindness to deafness to increased fetal mortality. This is why it is extremely important to choose a reputable Frenchie breeder. The blue merle is the rarest of colors that exist in the Frenchie breed. They are best described as gray with spots or how we like to call them cookies N' cream. They are so different from the standard common French Bulldog however, being that rare may not be a great thing especially when one considers all the health problems blue and merle Frenchies can have. It is important to mention that some merle French Bulldogs can live a healthy uneventful life. It is critical and essential to find a reputable breeder with good breeding practices especially when considering a rare color Frenchie. Also expect a blue merle to come with a hefty price tag. One of the most in-demand of rare colors is the Lilac French Bulldog. The lilac Frenchies are only produced occasionally and usually by breeders limited to the West Coast of the United States. They have a purple lilac coat color that can be quite attractive. Price is always higher than the already expensive standard French Bulldog puppy. Excellent Lilac Frenchies have a distinct color and vibrant eyes. This happens when they receive a combination of chocolate and blue DNA from both parents. As you can imagine, this rarely occurs. The Lilac coat can range from cool blue to a very classy looking silver and purple hue. Some have white markings on their chest and face. Another rare trait are their light colored eyes. This remains from the time they are puppies throughout life unlike the standard French Bulldog. The rarest colors of French Bulldogs are blue, lilac, blue and tan, and chocolate and tan. Add that Merle coats. A blue merle is perhaps the rarest of them all. In a world where a standard French Bulldog costs several thousand dollars, these rare colors can sell for tens of thousands. Since rare color Frenchies are prone to health and genetic problems , it is extremely important to find a reputable breeder who uses responsible breeding techniques with the right precautions otherwise you may be sinking your life savings into a dog that will be at the vet all the time, will be sick and may die prematurely. Rare Frenchies are just that - rare. Active breeders may only see one every few years if at all. Most rare colors are produced by breeders who specialize in producing them at a more frequent rate. Breeding rare color French Bulldogs is serious business. Most rare color breeders are running family operations dedicated to become experts in producing the highest quality rare French Bulldogs possible. Breeders expect to spend a significant amount of time answering your questions and sending you information.

People spoke of dog types or variants, not breeds; their description was more vague, and their appearance could vary widely from one specimen to another.

These organizations also began to classify and define the breeds of dogs they recognize. That was when the problems of consanguinity and the dog business began.

Health and breeding information Breed diseases of the Sheltie Shepherd Sheltie Shepherds are becoming increasingly popular because of their intelligence, friendliness and boldness, and great character. They are also referred to as Shelties. However, these dogs can also have some health problems. Therefore, it is important to understand what diseases can affect these hybrids and what can be done to keep them healthy and happy. This hybrid breed is prone to several eye diseases, including hereditary cataracts. Other eye diseases that can occur include retinopathy, glaucoma, and pigmented retinal epithelium abnormalities. Some hybrids may also be prone to severe bone and joint disease. Often these diseases occur at an early age. The most common are dysplasia of the hip and elbow joints, and osteoarthritis. The Sheltie Shepherd is also prone to allergies, especially atopy. Atopic dogs suffer from chronic allergic reactions that make them more susceptible to infections. It is therefore important to monitor the pet's condition and choose an allergy-friendly food. It is also prone to endocrine disorders, atypical Cushings disease, diabetes mellitus and liver disease. The best way to prevent potential problems is to have a regular visit to the veterinarian. This will allow further difficulties to be detected and treated early. A good veterinarian can also perform and recommend tests to check the dog's genes if the dog's parents are not known. Regular exercise, a good diet, and an appropriate level of care will also help prevent possible illness. Breed characteristics of the Sheltie Shepherd.

Keep your energetic dog busy with long-distance walks and hiking to keep him from becoming destructive. This mix of exercise will help you avoid tiring out quickly, which can be bad for both his health as well as yours. A tired dog is always better behaved compared to one who has been running around nonstop. The Sheltie requires a bath barely once in a while. They have an eagerness to please their owners, making them a great candidate for obedience training courses or canine sports such as agility where they can excel in competitions against other dogs with no qualms about barking when they feel happy enough. A well-fenced yard with regular walks around town makes up part of our expected routine life. This is the type of dog that will want to take control. They are intelligent and need someone with firm leadership skills, but can be trained if you break up training sessions into shorter ones daily or each day for half an hour at a time so their attention span stays higher than theirs.

Von Stephanitz had in his mind what a good working dog should be and a few generations of breeding fulfilled what Hektor envisioned. Horand von Grafrath is known to be the first German Shepherd Dog. Horand von Grafrath was bred to other similar styled dogs that were believed to have the same traits as what Von Stephanitz was looking for. His most successful offspring was Hektor von Schwaben. Von Stephanitz is widely credited for being the founder of this incredible breed. Von Stephanitz had intended for his breed to work as herding dogs, however, as Germany became more and more industrialized he saw the need to make it working dog. He convinced the German government to use the breed. The breed initially became popular in World War 1. Many American and allied servicemen grew attached to the breed during the war and brought them back to the states after the war was over. The Allied troops fell in love with the breed but not with the fact that it had German roots. It became common for police departments and those looking for true working dogs to import their dogs from Germany because the American dogs had such bad health problems. This cool dog comes from the Shetland Islands which are between Scotland and Norway. This is also where Shetland Ponies and Sheep originated. They were created by crossing the Border Collie with other smaller dogs. They are of course a herding dog and were bred to herd and protect sheep. It made its way to England and Scotland in the 19th century. Unfortunately, they started being bred with other breeds and it really started to taint what they had started as. Today, most Shelties here in the United States have descended from dogs that were imported from England between the two major World Wars. Today there are not a lot of these dogs on their native Shetland Islands. We adopted him at 9 weeks old from a responsible breeder who wanted the loyalty, intelligence, and looks of these two great breeds! She did a wonderful job with our Sheeno! He is very smart and very loyal. He loves affection and never leaves my side. He has a very mild temperament and is great with children. At the age of 7 he still loves to romp and play like a puppy, but once inside he's a complete couch potato! It is a cross between the Shetland Sheepdog and the German Shepherd. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. She weighs about 60 lbs. She is the friendliest dog I ever met and loves everyone; she is great with young children and even newborns. She never growls and only barks at squirrels or other animals that are around when she is in the backyard, she never bites. She loves to play with other dogs and is very good with cats. She is pretty hyper and needs to run around a lot, but once she gets out her energy she is calm and just wants to sit or lie down next to you and be petted. She is super smart and learned all her commands and even some tricks within the first months I had her; she learnt her name the same day I got her. She loves winter and playing in the snow. If a Shetland Sheepdog Mix takes after their Sheltie parent, they will be a small, fluffy dog with a charming, affectionate personality. These dogs tend to be energetic, playful, and a good addition to a family. Shelties tend to be loving, affectionate, and intelligent dogs that get along well with children, other pets, and other dogs. They tend to alert bark and are initially reserved towards strangers, but tend to warm up once introduced as long as they have been properly socialized. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect the same from a Sheltie Mix. You can also meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like and the behavior she is modeling for her puppies. The breeder should have started some socialization and training, but it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home. The Shetland Sheepdog is a highly adaptable dog breed that can do well in homes with fenced yards as well as apartments. They are sensitive to heat and extreme cold, but do well in most moderate climates. Because they thrive on attention from their families and get bored easily, they do not like to spend long periods of time alone. If the other parent breed is also highly adaptable, then you should be able to expect the same from a Shetland Sheepdog Mix. The other parent breed will introduce their own potential quirks, so you do want to talk to the breeder about them. Are mixed-breed dogs healthier than purebred dogs? 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. Shelties are intelligent and sensitive dogs that pick up on things quickly and are eager to please. They tend to be a good fit for owners of all experience levels. If the other dog breed is also highly trainable, then you can expect the same from a Sheltie Mix. Not only do they reinforce training, but they also offer opportunities to socialize your Sheltie Mix with other dogs, other people, and new situations. A Sheltie Mix can inherit a coat similar to one of their parent breeds or a coat that is truly a mix of both. If they take after their Sheltie parent, their coat will shed year-round and shed heavier during seasonal shifts. Daily brushing and the occasional bath are recommended to keep a Sheltie coat healthy. Cutting nails once or twice a month keeps them from growing too long. Weekly ear checks and careful cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. Daily tooth brushing plus cleanings at the vet when needed is a good start for dental care. Shetland Sheepdogs are energetic and playful, but they are not high-energy dogs. They tend to sit in a more moderate range and daily walks plus playtime and time to run are usually enough for them. They are athletic dogs that enjoy being active with you, so they will likely be up for more if you are. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect a Sheltie Mix to sit in a moderate activity range as well. If the other parent is a high-energy breed, then you will need to be prepared for the potential of a high-energy dog. Fully-grown Shelties usually stand inches tall at the shoulder and weigh pounds. The other parent breed can have a big effect on this, especially if they are the mother, so you need to talk to the breeder about them. Shelties generally live for years on average. The other parent breed may affect this slightly, but you should be able to expect a similar average life span from a Sheltie Mix. Sheltie Mix Puppies for Sale.

FAQ Page Email Us "At the time Ginger became a part of our family my sons were young and both had allergies that made a Golden-doodle the perfect breed for us. She has proven to be incredibly smart, easy to train and extremely loyal. When we picked Ginger up from Red Ridge Doodles it was evident that she had been well socialized with children, which was important to our young family. Ginger had already learned a few tricks and was comfortable in her kennel before we took her home. Kris was extremely professional helping us with the international adoption process. Ginger has had a clean bill of health at every check up. I have and will continue to recommended Red Ridge Doodles to family and friends. We looked at many breeders, rescues, spoke with contacts that had Goldendoodles and emailed numerous folks. Out of all the inquiries that we sent, only one response made us feel comfortable and that response was from Kris at Red Ridge Doodles. Right off the bat, without even speaking to us, she wrote back with a personal and helpful response that you could tell she put some effort into, versus just "Yes, we have a puppy for you. Want it? As the puppies were growing up, Kris sent us with at least updates per week with photos and videos. She included information specific to our puppy, his personality and development. She shared milestones and also some great tips and tricks on puppy rearing, training, etc. We are several provinces away and her emails made us seem so much closer. Harley is the smartest, most laid back, and loving pup and we know we owe it to the way he was raised. We can't even imagine our lives without Harley in it, and couldn't have asked for a better addition to our family. Thank you SO much, Kris - we're so glad we found you! What was not so magical was losing Kahlua last August, and then Monty, so unexpectedly in January. I could not have predicted how much it would affect me! What a gift you have given us! Thank you! It has gotten worse as time progresses and I rarely can leave the house. My husband and daughters are away most of the time and my extended family all live hours away, leaving me alone and without company and support. After smoking for 10 years, I decided to quit cold turkey. I believe it was destiny when I found Kris right at this time. My reward for quitting was a puppy. Kris was absolutely amazing to work with, answering texts, phone calls and emails at any time of the day with knowledge and patience. We live 3 provinces apart so Kris needed to match our needs and choose for us. I needed a dog who could stay with me all day when I couldn't get up, who would be a watchdog yet accept when people come in the house unannounced, and be able to live with cats and other dogs. She sent personalized videos of Huey's milestones and training achievements. Her training and socialization program is beyond what I ever expected. When we picked Huey up at the airport, our lives changed forever. He has become my company and therapy he has been recommended for a certified therapy dog and is exactly what we needed. Huey is smart, can sense when I'm having a flare and stay quiet right beside me, is so friendly yet watchful, and gets along with every person and animal he meets. I can't recommend Kris highly enough for the quality of her puppies as well as her immense knowledge and dedication to breeding and training a well-rounded dog.

Dogs from this cross typically were bred to each other over future generations, whereby the Australian dogs are also know as "Multi-generational" Labradoodles. The resulting labradoodles subsequently have been bred to each other, continuing the multi-generational tradition. Even when the other types of Labradoodles are bred on for generations, the result is not an Australian Labradoodle, as the attributes of the infused breeds were not included in their ancestry. The Australian Labradoodle Club of America was founded exclusively to foster and protect the original Australian Labradoodles that have come directly from Tegan Park and Rutland Manor breeding stock, or their offspring. Our mission is to maintain and improve the quality and soundness of the Australian Labradoodles, and to carefully monitor the further development of the breed. All member breeders are carefully screened to help ensure the future of the Australian Labradoodle. Our member breeders must breed to the highest standards. We have Breeder Mentors to assist member breeders and to help new breeders get off to a good start.

Registration : ALAA.Apricot vs Red Labradoodle The main difference between an Apricot Labradoodle and a Red Labradoodle is the intensity of the red color of their coat. Apricot Labradoodles often have peachy undertones in their coat and sometimes they are so light that they are nearly cream in color. Wavy and curly coats are the most common while straight coats are usually seen in reverse Labradoodle generations where the Labradoodle has been bred back to a Labrador Retriever instead of a Poodle. Their coats feature light, loose waves and give Labradoodles a teddy bear appearance. You usually find Red Labradoodles with wavy coats in first generation litters. Red Labradoodle Curly Coat Curly coats are the next most common coat type. They are much denser and thicker than wavy coats and more closely resemble the coat of a Poodle. Red Labradoodles with curly coats are usually seen in back-cross generations where the Labradoodle has been bred back to a Poodle e. F1b, F1bb and F2b Labradoodles. Curly coats are usually more hypoallergenic than other coat types. They are usually not as hypoallergenic as wavy or curly coat Labradoodles as they usually are from a generation that has a higher percentage of Labrador Retriever genes than Poodle genes. Hardly any straight hair Labradoodles have red hair but it is possible.
