I was born and raised in Alberta. I now reside in Southern Alberta. A little bit about my background, first off I am a huge lover of animals! I have devoted much of my time to a local rescue society over the last few years in hopes of making a difference to each and every animal that I have had the privilege of fostering and rehabilitating. I have been a pet owner all of my life. I believe that all animals should be raised in a loving environment and treated with the utmost respect. Because of this deep rooted passion I have always had, it was only natural that when I met my first French Bulldog I fell in love! After learning a bit about that specific breed I took the initiative and decided to further educate myself on all things French Bulldog. I was truly fascinated with their unique personality, unlike any breed I had ever owned prior. With the beginning stages of pursuing our dream of owning and operating our very own business I felt it necessary to educate myself even further in animal behavior. I am currently an animal behaviorist apprentice and am truly loving this aspect of the process. We not only want to be able to offer a reliable service but ensure people that any animal in our care are in good hands. Goals I want to offer a breeding program that will break the stereotype and go against other breeders standards. Especially with the French Bulldog, I aspire to improve known health issues with the breed. My business and morals are held to the highest standards. Im here to show you just that. I want to be able to help people better understand dogs and their behavior. I am here to provide any advice, questions or concerns with your puppies and adult dogs as I continue my force free education with dog training. What Testing we do here at Frenchie Kiss All the health testing we do is to allow us to make better choices in our pairings to try and breed healthier puppies in the future. I use these as a tool to make sure we are only breeding the healthiest dogs. As we know even with the most rigorous testing, we can never guarantee to produce perfect puppies. Our dogs are examined by a veterinary professional and those results are submitted via an application form to OFA. Breeders can share information about their own dogs and research potential breeding mates. Prospective owners can research breeds and common health risks, as well as potential parents, in order to pursue the healthiest offspring possible. OFAS for me requires to go to the vet to get many sets of x-rays. During these x-rays our dogs must be sedated to ensure they are getting the clearest radiographs possible. OFAS can start preliminaries at 1 years old. Before blood-based genetic testing became readily available, one of the main ways to track orthopedic issues in dogs was through x-rays. Instead of just testing individual dogs with owners, the OFA Certification process began building a database. The dog's information, including the breeder, birth location, and family connections, was a part of the database. The program is run exclusively through the University of Missouri, with several connections to vets around the world. Originally, the OFA Certification was established to discover hip dysplasia in dogs and is still a primary source to track any hip issues. Over the years, the expansion of DNA testing has led to several other genetic disease tracking. The OFA Certification also tracks the transmission of various heart diseases, and early discovery can help prevent major problems in the future. Dogs with cystinuria are deficient in a specific protein that is essential for the transport of cystine and other amino acids from urine. Normal kidneys reabsorb cystine so that only small amounts pass into the urine. However, dogs with cystinuria fail to reabsorb cystine, allowing large amounts to pass into the urine. Symptoms of disease include straining to urinate, blood in the urine, frequent urination of small volumes or inability to urinate. Dogs with cystinuria often have recurrent inflammation of the urinary tract and if not treated, urinary stones can cause urinary tract infections, kidney failure and even death. Testing Tips We have delt with stones in one of our own dogs. I recommend if any of these above symptoms arise to not wait to go to your vet. This way you and your vet can come up with a treatment plan. In the case if Cystine stones, we had to neuter our boy. Hyperuricosuria Common Symptoms Hyperuricosuria is an inherited condition of the urinary system affecting several breeds of dog. The SLC2A9 gene codes for a protein that allows the kidneys to transport uric acid from the urine. Dogs with mutations in both copies of the SLC2A9 gene are predisposed to have elevated levels of uric acid in the urine, hence the name hyperuricosuria. Dogs with hyperuricosuria most commonly present with symptoms of recurrent urinary tract inflammation, which include frequent urination, blood in the urine, and straining to urinate. They may also have loss of appetite, lethargy, weakness, vomiting and pain. Multifocal Retinopathy 1 Common Symptoms Multifocal retinopathy 1 is an inherited disorder of the retina affecting several breeds of dog. Affected dogs typically present between 11 and 16 weeks of age with multiple discrete circular areas of retinal detachment with underlying fluid accumulation that are visible on an eye exam performed by a veterinarian. These blister-like lesions are typically found in both eyes and can appear gray, tan, orange or pink and vary in number, size and location. Progression of retinal changes is usually slow and new lesions are not noted after 6 to 12 months of age. Occasionally as affected dogs age, lesions appear to heal and are no longer visible on an eye exam. PRA-crd4 occurs as a result of degeneration of both rod and cone type photoreceptor cells of the retina, which are important for vision in dim and bright light, respectively. Affected dogs can show symptoms of vision loss or have signs of retinal disease on veterinary ophthalmologic exam by 3 years of age. However, age of onset varies significantly in PRA-crd4 affected dogs, and has been reported from 1 to 15 years of age. Hereditary Cataracts Common Symptoms Hereditary cataracts is an inherited eye disease in dogs. Cataracts are opacities in the lens of the eye caused by structural changes in lens proteins. A normal lens allows light to pass through it to the retina in the back of the eye. Light cannot pass through the parts of the lens affected by cataracts and vision becomes blurry. Dogs with Hereditary cataracts most commonly present within a few weeks to months after birth with small cataracts that are visible on a veterinary eye exam. Cataracts from this disease will eventually affect the whole lens in both eyes leading to complete blindness between years of age. Of note, not all forms of cataracts are inherited and environmental factors such as UV damage can also play a role in the severity of disease. Degenerative Myelopathy DM, SOD1A Common Symptoms Affected dogs usually present in adulthood with gradual muscle atrophy and loss of coordination typically beginning in the hind limbs due to degeneration of the nerves. The condition is not typically painful for the dog but will progress until the dog is no longer able to walk. The gait of dogs affected with degenerative myelopathy can be difficult to distinguish from the gait of dogs with hip dysplasia, arthritis of other joints of the hind limbs, or intervertebral disc disease. Late in the progression of disease, dogs may lose fecal and urinary continence and the forelimbs may be affected. Affected dogs may fully lose the ability to walk 6 months to 2 years after the onset of symptoms. Even though this is said we will always test and not breed 2 carriers together ever. Carrier A 'Carrier' result indicates that your dog has inherited one copy of the mutation that has been reported to cause this genetic disease. Your dog may not be clinically affected by this mutation because two copies of the mutation are usually required to cause disease. Based on the mode of genetic inheritance for this particular disease, inheriting one mutant copy of the gene may result in the disease. Dogs with one copy of the mutation may have a milder phenotype as compared to dogs with two copies of this mutation. Based on the mode of genetic inheritance for this particular disease, inheriting one or two mutant copies of the gene may result in the disease. We breed responsibly and pay special attention to minimizing the known hereditary diseases by having all our parent animals health tested by a certified vet. Having worked and volunteered in shelters we have see too many dogs, especially large dogs being surrendered due to behavior issues.

Articles Having an American French Bulldog can be an amazing and unforgettable experience. However, there are definitely some things you need to know about these breeds. So what is an American French Bulldog? American French Bulldogs are a mixed breed of bulldogs bred from a cross between American Bulldogs and French Bulldogs. If you have seen one, you know this dog breed is adorable, and these cute little fellas can make life on your own or with the family much more fun and entertaining. There is a lot to discuss concerning this mixed breed of bulldogs, like how do you take care of your American French Bulldog? Do American Frenchies get aggressive? What are their feeding requirements? How long do these American French Bullies live? Image from Instagram: bosabully Generally, American French Bulldogs have short, stocky bodies with short, sturdy limbs. This mixed breed of dogs, when compared to the parental breeds, is shorter than the American Bulldog breed but taller than the French Bulldog breed. An adult male American French Bulldog can grow up to a height of 18 to 24 inches with a weight of 35 to 80 Ibs, while an adult female American French Bulldog can grow up to a height of 15 to 21 inches with a weight of 30 to 65 Ibs. Aesthetic These canines have a sturdily built body with broad shoulders, giving this breed a more athletic appearance. In addition, American Frenchies have big, round brown eyes with black snouts, although there are exceptions. The physical appearance of an American French Bulldog depends on the dominant genetic makeup of the parental breeds. An American Frenchie can have a tail that is long and wavy, corkscrewed like an American Bulldog breed or stumpy and screwed like a Frenchie, depending on the dominant gene of the parental breed. Coat Type And Markings American Frenchies generally have short, smooth fine fur and come in standard colors like black, brown, white, cream, brindle, or fawn. They also come with different paired fur colors, such as brindle and white, fawn and white, black and brown, or brown and fawn; basically, two colors commonly interchange with a light and dark color, although there are some exceptions. American Frenchies are born with a black mask black fur that surrounds the snout and can extend to parts of the face, including the eye area. For instance, you occasionally see fawn dogs with distinctive black masks, while some dogs have light-colored masks. The pattern on an American French Bulldog does vary uniquely; the common patterns include spots, patches, markings, or gradients, and these distinctive bi-colored patterns can appear around the face, chest area, limbs, or body of bulldogs. American French Bulldogs also come in rare colors like blue, isabella, tan, sable, or lilac. These rare colors can combine together or combine with common colors, for example, a black and tan American Frenchie. Image from Instagram: mr. However, their lifespan shortens when these dogs succumb to health problems, no matter how minor or chronic. American French Bulldogs can develop some common minor health issues you need to be aware of: Skin Infection These breeds are prone to food allergies, and once your bulldog is allergic, the reaction can manifest in the form of skin infections like dermatitis, pyoderma, pruritus, scaling, and crusting. Your American French Bully can also react to skin infections in the form of rashes and hives under the paws and on the stomach region. Diarrhea Diarrhea is another common reaction to allergies in American French Bullies. This is not the only cause; there are lots of different reasons why your pooch can have diarrhea. But an allergic reaction is a common cause with this breed. Cherry Eye American French Bullies can develop red or bloodshot eyes because of a condition called cherry eyes. The third eyelid in dogs helps clean debris and mucus from the cornea as well as prevent injuries to the cornea. When the third eyelid becomes injured, dry, bloodshot, or red eyes can result. Back Pain American French Bulldogs have a delicate backbone, so it is important that your pooch does not apply too much pressure to the back. For instance, it is not advisable for your American French Bulldog to jump down from high places, like your bed or down the stairs, even though your pooch seems more than capable of doing so. Carry your four-legged furry friend, and make sure to support the spine while doing so. Respiratory Distress Syndrome Well, American French Bullies have small noses and narrow airways that make your bulldog prone to respiratory distress. As such, you should watch for breathing abnormalities in your pooch, like when your American Frenchie is having trouble breathing, panting loudly, or coughing. Deafness Tests are still being conducted, but results indicate that the gene responsible for hearing function relates to the gene responsible for skin color in dog breeds. Deafness in dog breeds can be hereditary; however, dog breeds with white pigmentation are more likely to be deaf. Thyroid Problems These problems occur when your American Frenchie does not produce enough thyroid hormones hypothyroidism or produces excess thyroid hormones hyperthyroidism. American French Bulldogs are not difficult to take care of, but you need to take note of their habits and routines to keep your pooch healthy. You should also never feed your American French Bully chocolate, candies, dairy products like milk or cheese , or salty foods. Pet Plate offers high-protein and grain-free meals as well as treats for your dog. These dogs are an active breed, so a minimum of one hour of exercise a day will do this justice and release some pent-up energy in your canine buddy. You can include daily walks in your exercise routine, but take breaks between short walks to rest and recuperate. Remember to make it fun because fun is the best training language for your dog. Bathe The Bulldog Regularly Well, aside from eating healthy and exercising routinely, you need to clean your pooch too. An unclean dog poses a health risk to both you and your canine buddy. Eventually, your pooch will shake out the bacteria and germs from its ears with the help of an ear-cleaning solution. If you intend to leave your American Frenchie for a long period, it can develop separation anxiety when left alone for longer than 6 hours. If you tend to leave it alone for hours every day, you can train your American French Bully to get used to your absence. Keep in mind before you leave your American French Bully that you need to make sure they are properly fed and that you have hidden any precious items. A puppy can hold its pee for a maximum of 4 hours and a full-grown pooch can hold for 10 hours. American French Bulldogs love cuddling. These breeds are real softies when shown love and care. They can be unbelievably gentle, caring, and trustworthy. These adorable-looking dogs also show exceptional loyalty and devotion. American French Bulldogs can be aggressive when treated the wrong way or when they feel endangered. These breeds are not known to be aggressive, but without training, they can display some form of aggression when surrounded by unfamiliar faces. American French Bullies love to spend time with families and children, especially when they are well-socialized. American French Bullies can also get excited when playing with small children or animals and can accidentally cause injuries. As puppies, they do bite quite often, especially when playing. Your American French Bully will grow out of this eventually, but you can take a preventive measure by not allowing your children to play rough games with their canine friends. As long as your pooch is properly trained, you can trust it with your kids. And these dogs shed two times a year on average. Shedding In the summertime, American French Bulldogs shed their undercoat to prevent overheating. In winter, they shed the top layer of their hair to grow thick coats that help them get through the cold season. The rate at which an American French Bully sheds in the summer can be higher than in winter because our furry friend needs to shed those thick undercoat layers of hair that kept our furry friend warm through the winter. With this tool, you can effectively remove loose undercoat fur without causing damage to the skin or ruining the topcoat. Removes loose hair: reaches through the topcoat to remove loose undercoat hair without cutting skin or damaging the.FURejector button: just push the button to release hair with ease. Hypoallergenic dogs do not cause any allergic reactions in people. American French Bulldogs are not hypoallergenic and not the best option if you or your family members have dog allergies. Many dog owners face the challenge of having to clean the hair left by their pooches, with little to no knowledge of how to groom their furry friends. On the other hand, we will introduce to you some grooming tips and equipment to best keep its fur in check. Bathing Even though American French Bulldogs have smooth short hair, and it looks like your furry friend needs a bath two or three times a year, weekly baths are more favorable because bulldogs are prone to allergies. Make sure to avoid the eyes. Your pooch may not be comfortable with face cleaning, but with time, your bulldog will get used to it. Shampoos are great when grooming your bulldogs, but it is important to always use the right shampoo. Given that these breeds are sensitive to allergies, we definitely recommend using Pro Pet Works All Natural 5-In-1 Oatmeal Shampoo because it is formulated for pets with allergies, and sensitive, itchy, or dry skin. The formula also helps in controlling shedding for your bulldogs and pets as well as providing other health benefits. The reason these breeds are expensive is that their parental breeds find it difficult to mate because of their narrow hips. They require artificial insemination and cesarean sections, which are costly procedures to perform. An American French Bulldog with features like rare coat colors tan, isabella, and lilac or a combination of only rare coat colors or rare eye colors like orange are a lot more expensive than its regular counterpart. One of the main differences between the French Bulldog and the American Bulldog is the nature of their ears. The Frenchie has bat-like ears, while the American Bulldog has normal flat-folded ears. Another difference is the body size of the two dog breeds. American Bulldogs have a larger body size compared to Frenchies. Can American French Bulldogs Swim? American French Bulldogs cannot swim because they generally have muscular bodies and short legs not meant for paddling underwater. Moreover, American French Bulldogs have brachycephalic skulls, or a flattened area at the back of their skulls, making it difficult to tilt their nose above water. Dogs French Bulldog Pete Decker. When you find a puppy, make sure you talk with the breeder about the parents of the puppy and meet the parents and see the kennel. When you meet with the breeder, the kennels need to be clean and the dogs should be well cared for. You also should check the way that the parents are behaving, since this can give you an idea of how your puppy will behave. American French Bulldog puppies are loyal, affectionate and enjoy the company of their families. French bulldogs came from England, and they are miniature versions of English Bulldogs. French Bulldogs were taken to France by craftspeople who got driven from England due to the Industrial Revolution. American Bulldogs have difficult pasts since they were used in things like bull-baiting for entertainment and gambling. They love being with their humans, and when they are apart it can cause separation anxiety. They are trustworthy and reliable when around a young child, particularly when they are socialized young. As an owner, you need to be firm and strong, otherwise, you might wind up with an intolerant stubborn dog. However, like any dog breed, they need proper training and socialization, and young children need to be taught how to handle these dogs respectfully. For the most part, they are playful, lovable dogs that provide endless fun for children. These dogs are not known to be aggressive or dominant, but again, proper training and socialization are key. Make sure to make introductions to other pets slowly and calmly—this is best done while your American French Bulldog is still a puppy. This is going to help your dog to be in good shape overall. Your dog should be fed two cups per day, total, if you opt for kibble. Wet and raw foods are also great but can be a lot more expensive. They need a lot of mental stimulation. Otherwise, they will become bored and look for ways to entertain themselves, meaning they could get into mischief. Lastly, they do best in moderate climates since extreme cold or heat can cause them distress, especially while exercising. These dogs love pleasing their owners and enjoy physical challenges. Taking them to the park and other places will expose them to a lot of dogs and people and help greatly with socialization and training. Look for things like cuts, lumps, or skin conditions that a vet should know about. You also should check their eyes, teeth, ears, and nails to ensure they are healthy. Brushing their teeth early on will help you with caring for their teeth as they get older. However, the Franch Bulldog is known to have its fair share of genetic health issues, and these may be passed on to your pup. Minor Conditions. Keep on reading to learn everything about French Bulldog puppies! French bulldogs All you need to know about Frenchies: a short summary History in a nutshell French Bulldogs were first bred as a smaller version of the English Bulldog in the 19th-century England. They were particularly popular among lacemakers in Nottinghamshire, who initially kept them to chase rats but soon fell in love with their small size and calm, friendly nature. After the Industrial Revolution, they had to move to southern France where lacemaking was still done by hand and took their dogs with them. Frenchies soon got popular in the circles of French artists, actors, writers in Paris as well as rich Americans visiting the city. In fact, they loved Frenchies so much that they took them to the US, where they finally got recognized by the AKC in .Frenchie Characteristics French Bulldogs are one of the most popular dog breeds thanks to their fun, adaptable, friendly nature and distinctive look. You can easily recognize them by their flat, heavily wrinkled faces and large, erect bat ears, which make them absolutely adorable. Despite having the strong, muscular body of a bulldog Frenchies are small in size: adult males usually weigh 20 to 28 pounds while females are 16 to 24 pounds. Frenchie Colors Frenchies come in a wide variety of different colors and patterns. There are standard French Bulldog colors like black, fawn, cream and patterns like pied and brindle, which are considered common for the breed.

A bored, ignored, or under-exercised German Shepherd can often become a destructive one. They also can be sensitive to their surroundings and large gatherings can be off-putting. With a longer coat, they tend to prefer cooler climates and are sensitive to heat. The German Shepherd is a generally healthy breed, but there are some potential health concerns and good breeding practices make a big difference. Potential health concerns to be aware of in a German Shepherd include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia , and degenerative myelopathy.

They get bored easily and especially with repetition, so continued training with your German Shepherd throughout their life will be necessary. German Shepherds have a medium-to-long double coat. They will shed year-round and heavier as seasons change. Brushing a few times a week is usually sufficient; brushing daily is even better and your GSD will likely love you for it. Bathing is occasional on an as-needed basis. Ear checks weekly with careful cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. German Shepherds are high-energy working dogs. Not only do they require a lot of daily activity, but they also are a herding breed that was made to run, guard, and observe, so they need a job to do to be happy and healthy. Daily walks plus playtime, time to run, and other activities are usually enough for a GSD, but they will likely be up for more activity if you are.

Gallery Pine Winds Pine Winds Labradoodles, located 25 miles north of Kansas City, Missouri, began with one dog and the desire to volunteer as an animal partner therapy team. I retired from teaching after 34 years and with all three children grown I decided to pursue this adventure by purchasing my first labradoodle. Marley joined our home as a puppy, became a Canine Good Citizen, and continued on to pass her evaluation enabling her to be registered as a therapy dog with Pet Partners. Occasionally she was bred and produced puppies with exceptional temperaments, several becoming therapy dogs as well. Most importantly the puppies have become excellent fur members of families. Mia, my second dog, is a puppy from the breeding of Marley to another labradoodle who was a registered therapy dog. Mia became a registered therapy dog as well. Poppy, Mias offspring, is now my registered therapy dog. My dogs are working dogs whether they are visiting, enrolled in agility classes or taking refresher obedience training. Mia, Poppy and Rosie are proven to represent the best of temperaments and mind set a labradoodle should possess. I have two breeding dogs so I am able to spend quality time working with each puppy.

Anyone can be added to the Waiting List with a completed deposit, but KC Bernedoodles reserves the right to the first pick of all litters. Puppy reservations are made in order of cleared deposit.

Once the customer has decided they want to purchase a puppy, they must email us stating so. Customers must remit the deposit amount in either cash, check, or through digital deposit. We will provide the account information for the deposit. Cleared deposits are the only way to reserve a puppy; no cleared deposit means no puppy reservation. Deposits are nonrefundable.

When the puppies are born, they are given a color-coded collar. Puppies are discussed by their collar color, though our kids have a tendency to name them as well.

We make every effort to lead you through the process of choosing the best companion for your individual needs and lifestyle, so please let us know your situation and preferences. Failure to choose within that 2 hours forfeits your turn, and you will move to the end of the line. The key is to let the puppy have the time it needs with its mother and siblings, and transition the puppy to its new family as soon as it is properly able, in order to bond with them early and well. This usually happens at around 8 weeks. By pick up time your puppy will not be dependent upon its mother since it will have been weaned starting around week 4.

Annie Debo Me — first-time dog owner with a thousand questions… HWT — a thousand answers delivered immediately with knowledge, credibility, and patience. I wanted to meet and spend a few minutes first with mom Maizie and HWT obliged — Maizie was so friendly and low key — the perfect demeanor. After that, I met dad Gunner — an absolutely regal poodle who totally changed my mind about poodles… Tall, super-healthy, active, fun to watch. Lastly, I met the pups who were as cute as they could be. I spent the next several weeks getting to know them through regular visits. Brenda and Andy were always patient with my requests to spend time with the litter, and it was reassuring getting to know Andy and Brenda through the process… super-high integrity, genuine, really serious about doing their best. For me, that counts. And after spending all that time with them, I like keeping in contact with the HWT community and the other pups in the litter. Plenty of contact after the sale makes raising my puppy easier. People ask, what kind of dog is that? I carry HWT cards with me to let people know where to learn more. Erik Renaud Awesome experience as a first time pet owner. I asked a lot of questions and they responded quickly and provided the answers and beyond. They met me at the airport to pick up my puppy and we spent some time together. Andy and Brenda are really caring people. I had more questions after we were home in NC and they were happy to answer and we have kept in touch. The Puppy Culture training that they do has made a huge difference. My puppy is such a good listener. Amy Smith.

Is the Labrador Sharpei hybrid the right pet for you? What is a Shar Pei Lab mix? Most Labrador Sharpei dogs have almond-shaped eyes and black or dark brown noses. Their small, folded ears are reminiscent of those on the Labrador. How big does a Shar Pei Lab mix get? As mentioned above a full-grown Shar Pei Lab mix stands 18 to 25 inches 45 to 63 cm tall and can weigh between 40 to 60 pounds 18 to 27 kg. Some breeders may try to pass off a smaller hybrid as a mini Shar-Pei Lab mix. These undersized dogs are most likely bred from so-called Miniature Labradors, which are Labs that carry the gene for dwarfism. Regular-sized Shar Pei and Lab hybrids often have a compact, muscular physique. What is the temperament of a Shar Pei Lab mix? Shar Pei and Labrador mixes tend to inherit the independent nature of their Shar Pei parent. These dogs will prefer spending time with you to being alone. Shar Pei and Lab mixes, like Shar Peis, are also adaptable. They can easily adjust to a variety of living situations and environments. Training a Shar Pei Lab mix The most important factor in training a Sharpay-Lab cross is asserting your authority as a pack leader. Be firm during training sessions, but make sure you reward good behavior as well. With consistent training, your Lab and Shar Pei mix will quickly pick up and master commands and non-verbal cues. Early socialization is crucial for the Lab Shar Pei crossbreed, as this dog needs to learn how to properly behave around other pets and younger children in the household. Is the Shar Pei Lab mix hypoallergenic? Use a damp cloth to clean these folds regularly so you can prevent skin infections and allergies. Feed your Lab Shar Pei 2 to 3 cups of dry dog food daily. This amount of food should be split into 3 or 4 meals a day to prevent bloat, which commonly affects the Labrador and other large dogs. Ideally, the kibble should be large in size to keep the Labrador Sharpei from quickly gobbling it down. You can also keep your dog from eating too fast by using a slow feeder bowl. Keeping your Lab Pei at a healthy weight Their large size and healthy appetites make these crossbreeds prone to obesity. Shar Pei Lab mixes tend to put on weight quickly, so try not to go over the recommended daily amount of food for these dogs. Daily exercise also helps in keeping your Shar Pei and Lab crossbreed fit. Long walks, runs around the neighborhood, and short hikes are all activities that this hybrid will enjoy. What health problems do Labrador Shar Pei mix dogs have? As mentioned in the first paragraph a Shar-Pei and Lab mix has a life expectancy of 8 to 10 years, but several conditions can affect its health. As in most large dogs, hip and elbow dysplasia is common in this crossbreed. Histiocytoma , a skin cancer, also commonly affects Shar Peis. This serious skin condition could manifest in the Shar Pei Lab cross as well. Like its Labrador parent, the Lab Shar Pei can be prone to heart conditions, muscular dystrophy, and progressive retinal atrophy. The Shar Pei can also pass down to the Shar Pei and Lab mix a predisposition to respiratory problems, cherry eye, and deflated muzzles. You may have better luck looking for these dogs at breeders of Shar Peis and Labradors. You can get in touch with these breeders to see if they have any Shar Pei and Lab mix puppies:. We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. The result is a medium-sized dog that hopefully offers the best of both worlds. Generally, a Lab Pei should be a friendly and loving member of the family like a Lab but have the guard dog instincts of a Shar-Pei and raise the alarm at home when something is not right. They should be intelligent and highly trainable like a Lab but have the independence of a Shar-Pei that allows them to tolerate being left alone for extended periods of time. They should have a coat somewhat like a Lab but less wrinkles than a Shar-Pei, meaning fewer skin issues. This is the ideal breeders are looking for when they mix a Labrador retriever and a Shar-Pei, but this kind of breeding can be unpredictable. As a result, it is often difficult to know exactly what to expect from any Lab Pei puppy. Read on as we take a closer look at the most important characteristics of the parent breeds and how they are likely to combine in a Lab Pei to help you decide if the Lab Pei is the right dog for you! Breed: Mixed breed combining Shar-Pei and Labrador retriever Height: 18 to 20 inches Weight: 55 to 70 pounds Lifespan: 8 to 12 years Coat: Short-to-medium coat with medium shedding and block color Trainability: Intelligent but stubborn and sensitive Energy: High energy but with a tendency to overheat Temperament: Loyal but wary of strangers and relatively independent History Of The Breed The Shar-Pei originates from southern China and seems to be a very old breed, as it closely resembles statues of dogs dating from the Han Dynasty around 2, years ago. It is certainly a basal breed that predates the modern breeds of the 19th century. In China, they were used as guard dogs in the early 20th century, but the breed almost became extinct by the s due to war, famine, and political turmoil. The breed was saved in the early s when Matgo Law, a businessman from Hong Kong, appealed to international kennel clubs to help save the breed. Following intensive breeding, much of it unscrupulous, the Shar-Pei was recognized by the American Kennel Club in .In the United States, Shar-Peis are often bred to be smaller than the standard, measuring no more than 16 inches tall and having extra wrinkly skin! They were bred to retrieve game from land and water. Labradors are known for being highly intelligent and naturally friendly, which is why they make excellent working dogs, especially in roles as service dogs. The Labrador is among the most popular breeds both as a pet and guide dog. Breeders started experimenting with mixing the two breeds in the s. The aim was to reduce the shedding of Labrador coats by mixing it with the lower shedding Shar-Pei and to improve the credentials of the Lab as a dual companion and guide dog. While this breeding has been relatively successful, mixed breed dogs can still be somewhat unpredictable. Appearance Both Labrador retrievers and Shar-Peis are medium-sized dogs, though Labs are notably the larger of the two. This is why you can always expect the Lab to be the mother in an Z1 Lab Pei. Labradors usually measure between .Shar-Peis are smaller, measuring 17 to 20 inches and weighing 35 to 45 pounds. It is unusual to see a Lab Pei that measures more than 20 inches, and they typically weigh 50 to 60 pounds, but they can be heavier, up to around 70 pounds. The dog will be a solid block color. Labs are black, chocolate, or golden. Shar-Peis can be any block color other than white, but they are most commonly black, red, fawn or cream. They can appear like their color is textured, but this is more due to folds of the skin creating dense areas rather than actual color. However, Shar-Peis do have a distinctive black tongue, and the skin around the muzzle also tends to be darker. You can expect your Lab Pei to be any of these solid colors. Labrador retrievers are known for their thick and soft double coat, which is beautiful and protective but also sheds a lot! The Shar-Pei has a short, harsh, and bristly coat that is low-shedding. Breeders will try to prioritize the low-shedding coat in Lab Pei puppies, but it is not always possible to control for this, and your dog could have either coat. Labradors have an athletic build with a square and long muzzle and long floppy ears. Shar-Peis have a melon-shaped head with a flat, broad muzzle. While they have athletic bodies, their heads are proportionately large. They also have clam-shell ears and excess skin that causes deep wrinkles. How these physical characteristics will combine in a mixed pup is difficult to predict. Very often you will see dogs with the longer muzzle of a Lab but the clam-shell ears or a Shar-Pei, though slightly longer than normal. Skin wrinkling is expected, but to a much lesser extent than on a purebred Shar-Pei. Whichever coat your dog receives, they will need quite a bit of grooming! Lab coats need to be brushed regularly to remove excess hair and limit shedding. Wrinkle coats mean frequent bathing to keep bacteria that can form in skin folds under control and prevent infections. Temperament Labrador retrievers and Shar-Peis have opposing temperaments. Labs are innately friendly dogs that love everyone and get on well with children , strangers, and other animals. Meanwhile, Shar-Peis are naturally wary and can be aggressive. They are likely to bark at strangers and chase and attack smaller animals if not properly socialized from a young age. From a Lab Pei, you can expect something between the two. They will probably bond quickly with your family and can be taught not to chase the cat if socialized early, but will continue to be wary of strangers, making them a better guard dog than a pure Lab. Labradors are highly intelligent and motivated to please, which makes them very easy to train. They bond quickly and are innately loyal, so they are easy to control, even if you are a first-time owner. Shar-Peis, on the other hand, are less intelligent, so they need more training to master new skills, and they can also be stubborn. They are quite independent and will test you if you show weakness. They are also very sensitive, which means that they can respond badly to any kind of punishment. When you mix the two, the result is often a dog that can tolerate being left alone for much longer periods but would really prefer to be around you! Energy Labrador retrievers are known to be high-energy dogs that need lots of exercise, usually at least an hour a day. But Shar-Peis are lazier, needing only about half that. They are also prone to overheating due to their wrinkly coat and breathing issues due to their relatively flat nose. When you mix the two breeds, what you often get is a dog with lots of energy that might not be able to keep up with itself. Always have water and shade on hand for them to recover. Labs love to swim , and their coats are designed for that purpose. Shar-Peis can either love or hate the water. Also, make sure you dry your dog thoroughly after swimming, especially if there are any wrinkles. Both Labs and Shar-Peis can be prone to weight gain as they tend to overeat. This is because they are unable to tell when they are full, and loving parents seeing empty bowls give them more food. Health Both Labradors and Shar-Peis are prone to specific health conditions due to breeding practices that make these prevalent. This is not to say that your dog will definitely have any of these conditions, but they are things you should monitor for so they can be dealt with swiftly and effectively if they do affect your dog. Watch out for elbow and hip dysplasia, which is when joints form incorrectly, resulting in mobility issues and pain later in life. One of the main reasons this happens is overexerting puppies, exacerbating growth issues. Avoid this by limiting your dog to five minutes of exercise per day per month of age while they are a growing pup. A four-month-old pup should only have about 20 minutes of exercise a day. Progressive eye issues are also common, and most Labs and Lab mixes will lose at least some of their sight as they enter their senior years. Shar-Peis can have the additional issue of entropion, which is when the eyelashes grow inwards. This can be painful and cause blindness if not treated swiftly. The skin of Shar-Peis comes with various health warnings, which are partially mitigated by mixing with a Lab. Nevertheless, still keep an eye out from chronic skin allergies and dermatological issues. Ear infections are also an issue, and they can be worse in Lab mixes as they tend to have longer ears that can completely close the ear canal. Shar-Peis can also inherit a chronic disease that causes short fevers that can last one to three days and swelling around the ankles. A vitamin B12 deficiency is also very common in Shar-Peis and their offspring. A Lab Pei will have a life expectancy of 8 to 12 years, and they will probably enter their senior years at around the age of seven. Read more about senior dogs and their specific needs here. You can expect Shar-Pei Lab mix puppies to be quite expensive and relatively difficult to find. While Shar-Peis are not at risk of extinction any more, they are still relatively rare when compared to other breeds. Labradors are popular, but as well as being bred as pure, they are also popular in many mix breeds. Interested in adopting a rescue dog? Find useful articles in our rescue dog archive.

Video: Shar Pei Lab Mix Puppies Temperament and Behavior These dogs generally have an even, protective, loving temperament which they inherit from their parents. If they take mostly to the sharpei side, they might at times be independent, dominant, alert, lordly and brave. Like their parents, they would try to protect their family members. They are emotionally responsive, loving, smart and kind. Though they are not aggressive to strangers, but would warn-bark if they come across intruders, strange noises or anything suspicious. Thus they make a good watchdog as well. They are good with kids and other pets provided they get the right training, and at the right age. This intelligent dog is ready to please you. However, in return, they would expect some attention and affection from their loved ones. They can adapt and establish itself very easily with family life, and thus makes a good apartment dog. Care Exercise Because they are average to large-sized dogs, the Lab Pei needs a pretty good amount of daily exercise. They need lots of physical activity all day, and a spacious apartment is always good for them. Their exercise requirements can be fulfilled through long walks and jogging. This should keep a balance between their physical and mental health, and prevent them from being flippant and destructive. They have a high playing instinct and would enjoy if they get an open yard to run and play around. But make sure the yard is fenced and safe before you untie your dog from its leash. Grooming Because they have a short coat, the grooming requirement for these dogs is moderate to easy. Brush them once to twice a week so as to retain the natural glow. Also, note whether your dog does not enjoy water like its sharpei parent. In that case, bathe it very rarely, may be once a year, if you think they are really untidy and in need for one. Dogs with wrinkles are susceptible to skin infections. If your pet has some wrinkles, cleaning them regularly by wiping the folds with a moist cloth. Rest of the grooming part, including nail-trimming or brushing teeth, are similar to other pet dogs. Health Problems Just like most other cross breeds, no breed specific issues have been determined in the lab pei. Dysplasia is a common issue with larger dogs, and both their parents are vulnerable to this. Similarly, other problems like entropion, luxation, cherry eye, ear infections, stenotic nares, tight lips, malocclusion, hypothyrooidism, demodectic mange, oleosa, hot spots, skin odor, etc. This might tend to make them disobey the trainer. In that case, a very firm hand, and some good amount of patience is required for it to be trained. You can consult a professional trainer the moment you find your dog displays the slightest behavioral issue. Give them socialization and housebreaking trainings from the time you bring them home from the breeders. Train the puppies consistently and with firm hands. Praise your dog or give them treats whenever it finds success or displays obedience. Stick to the same routine diet like the other large-sized dogs with the same energy levels. If you would go for dry foods like kibbles, be sure that you stick to quality and that, you are providing it with the right quantity of food. I have a 7 year old Sharpei Lab named Tyson. He has black fir and big brown eyes that are just full of love when I look in them. He makes me laugh and smile. He is always by my side. Not a complaint about him. Lifespan Sociability The Lab Pei is known to be protective of his estate and family. If he takes after his Shar-Pei parent more than his Labrador parent, there is a very high chance that he will guard his home. Although not aggressive, he will stand his ground and will not appreciate strangers coming to the house. In addition to his sometimes-overwhelming protectiveness, he can also be independent and stubborn. The Lab Pei needs a firm owner that is going to step up to the challenge of being the top dog and never allowing the Lab Pei to think he is. Training with any Shar-Pei mix is a lifelong requirement, not a quick 1-month obedience course down at your local center. But there is no doubt about it, this dominant dog is hard work and he needs an experienced dog owner. Being part Shar-Pei he will also not appreciate other animals or pets, especially other dogs. Even if he is well-socialized and the initial meet-up with other pets went swimmingly, he is known to change his mind overnight. So, if you have other pets or are planning to have other pets in the family home, you need to move on to another mixed hybrid altogether. Being the only pet also means that he will get your undivided attention. He is affectionate and loving with his family, and loves a hardcore afternoon snooze most days. He loves human companionship, but he is not over needy or anxious without you around. They usually inherit the hippopotamus muzzle. This means he will probably inherit the larger-than-life muzzle that really does look like a wrinkly hippo face. Scientific studies have shown that the Labrador can now blame his bottomless pit of a stomach on a missing gene. He may or may not inherit this genetically mutated gene, but either way, you need to keep an eye on his food intake to prevent him from becoming obese. They will be a water baby. If you can incorporate water into his exercise routine, he will love you forever. As we have already mentioned, this is exactly why you need to be an experienced dog owner who can show him the ropes and teach him the family hierarchy. If you find he challenges you as top-dog, correct him straight away, and if you still struggle, then you might need to reach out and seek professional help. He is also a confident dog both in the form of protecting his family and with strangers. Although he will be suspicious and aloof at first, as soon as his master welcomes them into the fold, he will warm up to them as well. If he takes after his Lab parent, he might even request a belly rub if they give off a friendly vibe. He is also courageous and will protect his family and estate if he feels he needs to. Full of love and loyalty, his family will be the apple of his eye. He will always be thinking of ways to impress his master, hoping for verbal praise and cheeky treats. He will always be up for a game of fetch or flyball and will spend hours and hours playing with his family. This makes him a fantastic companion for a family who loves to spend time outdoors, having fun, or adventuring. Being a well-balanced dog, he also knows when to be calm in the home. If you and your family are enjoying a relaxing Netflix evening, he will happily sit back and relax with you. The Lab Pei is a very intelligent dog, thanks to the Labrador passing on his intelligent genes. Especially if you tempt him with treats. Are These Dogs Good for Families? Firstly, he is not very tolerant of grabby, overzealous children. Like the best of us, he can get quite grumpy when annoyed, so he is best placed with older children who will know when he needs his own space. Secondly, because of his Shar-Pei genes, this pooch can be very dominant. This means that he might not respect younger children as being part of the pack or above him in the hierarchy. He needs to be with an older family that has experience with dominant dogs and can handle the potential pack challenges. Once he does understand the family dynamics, he is known to settle very well into family life. Also, many protective dogs have an affinity for the younger pack members, too, and the Lab Pei is one of these dogs. His Chinese Shar-Pei parent is famous for not liking the company or sight of other dogs, so this guy is strictly to be homed as the only dog. He extends this dislike to most other animals, so the Lab Pei really needs to be the only animal in the house. You need to bear this in mind when you are exercising him in public as well. You will undoubtedly come across other dogs and animals in the neighborhood. Socialization is key to minimalizing his dislike towards animals. You need to ensure that your yard is secured so that he cannot escape, but also because he will guard his perimeter. Coming nose to nose with another dog at the gate is dangerous, so remove this chance and secure all fencing and gates. Read through his following requirements so that you know exactly what he needs to live his best life. Feed him a high-quality dried kibble that is both age and breed size-appropriate. Dried kibbles are a great way to keep his teeth clean, as the hard kibble pieces help to break down the buildup of plaque. As tempting as it might be to feed him his favorite treats, an overweight dog is an unhappy one and obesity leads to untold health concerns. Always follow package instructions and switch him to a weight management kibble should he start piling on the pounds. Being intelligent, you should aim to mix up his exercise activities when possible. He will love to fetch and retrieve, so why not combine this with his love of water and get yourselves down to the local doggy lake? As he will probably not like other dogs, you need to keep him on a leash and be able to control him when faced with other dogs. Not only will it make walkies more enjoyable for both of you, but if he comes face to face with another dog, you know you can handle his power. This guy packs a lot of power, so you need to be a strong owner. Socialization is the most important part of his training, not only as a puppy but throughout his entire life. Keeping him cooped up all day long will only reinforce the fact that other animals are the enemy. Ensuring that he meets animals and other dogs of all shapes and sizes in a controlled environment will limit the amount of fear-aggression he displays. Obedience training is also important because of his dominant personality. If you are an experienced dominant dog owner, then you will know how important it is to maintain obedience training throughout his life. No matter how cute and squishy his face is , he needs to learn his place in the pack. It will shed moderately throughout the year and then probably experience a full blow-out during the shedding season. Brushing him 2 to 3 times a week will keep him looking fresh and healthy. Because of his skin rolls, he will need to be cleaned with a specially designed skin-fold ointment that will prevent bacteria and skin infections from developing. How often you do this will be dependent on how many folds he has. His eyes and ears will also need to be cleaned regularly and ensure that his nails are the correct length otherwise you risk paw injuries. Bathing him with a gentle shampoo once every 8 weeks or so is advised to keep him smelling clean. Take a note of the below health concerns that are most common to the Lab Pei and make yourself aware of the symptoms. Minor Conditions.

She is my amazing sweet girl who has boundless energy, patience and loves everyone. She is very loyal to me and my family and wants to be were we are at all times. She is confident and agile with excellent recall and manners but can show her stubborn Pei streak from time to time. She loves to travel and enjoys swimming and rolling in the mud but is just as happy to nap on her dog pillow at home for hours. And snow, she loves snow and ice more than anything else. She is very good with kids, cats , dogs as long as they show no aggression towards her family , small animals and other people. She is protective when someone adult approaches when we are out of the house but listens well and accepts loves and pets once I give her the command to stop, she has never barked at a child , ever. Even as a 6 month old puppy she sat nicely and let three year olds love on her. She is not a vocal dog unless something is wrong, otherwise, she is pretty silent. She is extremely sensitive to tone, I use my stern voice and that is all it takes for her to know she did something wrong, heavy hands are never good but especially with this girl. She can smell a bit and gets dry skin if I don't use oatmeal shampoo but she loves loves the water so bathing is very easy. She sheds about a 7 on a scale of 10, 1 being the least amount of shedding as possible. She is very food motivated and is extremely willing to please, training was a breeze with her but be careful, the Lab side can bring on obesity daily quick. My girl has had Entropion and needed 2 surgeries for eye tacking, one when she was 6 months old when I found her and another when she was 4. Due to the length of time her previous owners let pass without eye tacking, she struggles to see some things if they are in shadow or reflect light. I love my Pig and think everyone should have a dog as amazing as her. This breed can be a challenge if you don't know how to be the pack leader. Shar Pei's are not for 1st time dog owners even though the Lab mellows out the intense protection desire and stubbornness a Pei has. This mix will still have these traits, just in lesser intensities. It is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Shar-Pei. 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 was tied to a stake in a rural area, and was chronically pregnant and producing puppies. When rescued, she was about 2 years old based on her vet exam. On July 7th we will celebrate 10 years together. Brooklyn is too intelligent for her own good, very sweet, inquisitive, loyal, and loving. I truly believe her mission on earth is to give love and healing. After having her for 2 years I began training her for therapy dog work. She took to it immediately. She has always had an affinity for those injured, ill, or disabled. Our travels have taken us to local hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, and patients at home on hospice. She has been my partner at work for the last 6 years, with the last 2 years coming to the office with me. She was my "administrative assistant. They are very close. I feel she exemplifies both the best traits of the Lab and Shar Pei. This picture is Brooklyn at the beach when she was about 3 years old. I found him in the street at about 6 weeks old. He was flea infested and had worms so I took him to the vet that day. He is now healthy and happy. He is extremely active, loves to chew everything and has to sleep in the bed with me. I can't go anywhere without him or he whines. I think he is so adorable! He has a curled tail with black on the tip and some dark spots on his tongue, his ears are floppy and he has some white on his chest. At first he hated the bath but now he is learning to love the water and swims at the beach! They were found as very young puppies, walking along the freeway together. They are littermates, but couldn't be more different! Kazu the black one is very loyal, follows me around the house, gazes at me, etc. She's very excitable and has trouble—after 5 years—understanding that jumping when someone comes in isn't okay. She's a very happy dog who even wags her tail when she eats. She's quite aloof and bossy. Her affection is on her terms and she's the only dog I've ever seen who sulks. She does love to play, however, and frequently brings her rope to me, wags her tail, looking for some playtime. He loves to jump and play in the water. He is wary of strangers but once he knows you, he loves you. We didn't really know what to expect with this hybrid, because there are few out there. She has turned out to be a terrific little dog. The puppyhood was difficult, and she displayed typical Lab behaviors. Lucy would chew on everything and everyone! Now that she has passed the one-year mark she is really coming along. Lucy is extremely friendly, loves children and other dogs, and rarely barks. She is loyal, but not jealous, and is very smart. She responds well to both verbal and hand commands, and is a great exercise partner. One negative, though she has the great Shar Pei wrinkles and short hair, she does shed quite a bit. I wish that more people knew about this great hybrid! We feel very lucky. We got him from the local animal shelter when he was 8 weeks old. He was housebroken in less than 2 weeks. He is one of the smartest dogs I have ever encountered, and very affectionate. His only problem is he is extremely skittish. Since he has never been mistreated here, I can only assume it is just his nature. But I am still very glad we chose him. We have 19 grandchildren, so it was very important that whatever we got, it had to be good with them. He has both been great with all from 20 years, right down to newborns. Responsible Lab breeders will test their breeding stock and avoid passing diseases on to future generations. Your Shar Pei Lab mix breeder should provide proof that your puppy has healthy genetics on the Lab side. Additionally, there are health issues which are inherently associated with the Shar Pei skin folds. The unique Shar Pei head makes the breed prone to eye, ear, and respiratory problems. Conditions such as cherry eye, ear infections, and deflated muzzle are common. A particularly aggressive type of mast cell cancer is often seen in the Shar Pei. They are also prone to a type of skin cancer called histiocytoma. Shar Peis should always be monitored for abnormal lumps and bumps. The skin folds of the Shar Pei can lead to a serious skin condition called pyoderma. Pyoderma is a bacterial infection of the skin. While mild superficial cases are common in many breeds, Shar Peis can suffer from severe cases, due to moisture trapped in the skin folds. Hip and elbow dysplasia and skin problems are the most common. Reputable breeders will health test for dysplasia and provide buyers with certified test results. The skin issues can be more problematic, as pyoderma is associated with the Shar Pei wrinkles. Your Lab Pei puppy may grow up to have deep folds or moderate folds. This can determine how serious the skin problems will be. Special care always needs to be taken with the skin, ensuring that it remains clean and dry. The actual lifespan for Shar Peis may tend to be even shorter, from years, depending on health issues and the individual dog. Shar Pei Lab Mix Shedding The Lab has a double coat, consisting of a soft thick undercoat and a dense weather-resistant top coat. Labs tend to be fairly heavy shedders, and they will lose their undercoats in warm weather. Shar Peis, on the other hand, have a much shorter, rougher coat, and are less prone to shedding. Lab Pei Grooming Coat characteristics and grooming requirements are important to many people interested in the Lab Pei. While both breeds have short coats, they differ in both texture and grooming requirements. Labs require regular weekly grooming and will need to be brushed a few times a week during shedding season. However, a Shar Pei has unique grooming requirements because of the wrinkly skin. Health and temperament are of particular concern. A Lab Pei with excessive skin folds will require a significant amount of care to keep the skin clean and healthy. Other health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, cancer, and eye disease should also be kept in mind. Potential owners should be careful not to assume that they will be getting a Lab Pei that perfectly combines the sunny Lab disposition with a few cute wrinkles! There are no temperament guarantees with mixed breed dogs, and the Shar Pei can have a challenging temperament for novice owners. Good training and socialization is a must for the Lab Pei. A Lab Pei may do best as an only pet in homes with adults and older children. Similar Breeds If you love the idea of this mixed breed but shy away from the health concerns or potential temperament issues, there are other mixes to consider. Since they are not as common as some other Lab mixes, finding one may require patience. As these dogs have so many potential health concerns, adopting an adult may be the kindest and best thing to do. Please make sure to consider whether you are able to offer the needed care for this mix. And remember that there may be a wide variety in appearance, with everything from coat color to size. This is true in the case of the Labrador and Shar Pei mix. Animal shelter search engines like Petfinder allow potential adopters to narrow searches by breed. Unsure if your dog is a true Lab Pei? Genetic dog breed tests are widely available. So you may be able to find a Shar Pei Lab mix puppy. However, there are a few things to note. Avoid buying a Lab Pei puppy sight unseen from a seller on the Internet. Your puppy could be coming from a large scale, for-profit breeding operation known as a puppy mill. Breeding animals used in mills are often kept in inhumane conditions and are not health tested for genetic diseases. For more specifics on finding a puppy, take a look at our puppy search guide. Shar Pei Lab puppies are available from breeders, but potential buyers need to be very careful about ensuring that they pick a reputable breeder. It is always best to work with local, small breeders who welcome potential buyers into their homes. Your breeder should be able to provide you with genetic health test results. Not all health issues have genetic tests, but many do. Here are a few curated suggestions for products for Lab mixes like the Lab Pei!

Exercise Adequate exercise and physical activities are recommended for this average large sized Lab Pei breed. He has a high instinct to play and run around so a fenced yard or off-leash spacious zone where he can run and interact with other dogs is ideal. An ideal balance between their physical and mental health should be maintained, and prevent them from being flippant, bored and destructive. They have a short coat, which makes brushing twice a week adequate to remove the loose fur and debris and shall maintain the natural glow. However, when untidy or you may bathe him maybe once months for proper hygiene. If your pet has some wrinkles and folds on their skin, it is essential that these folds be cleaned on a regular basis and wiped properly in order to prevent bacteria and yeast buildup. Ears should be cleaned and checked on a regular basis for signs of infection and nails trimming and teeth brushing as done to other similar pet dogs.

Training Give them socialization and housebreaking training from the time you bring them home from the breeders. Train the puppies consistently and with firm hands. Praise your dog or give them treats whenever it finds success or displays obedience. The Lab Pei should eat 2 to 4 cups depending on the size of good quality dry food like kibbles every day. Meals should be small but frequent instead of one large meal once a day to prevent bloating. The Lab Pei dogs have a tendency to overeat and hence become obese. This gives rise to a high risk of developing hip dysplasia and joint problems is a recipe for disaster. Thus they should be fed with a controlled diet with the right amount of calories and nutrition to prevent them from being over-weight. Shar Pei Lab Mix Puppies Your Lab Pei puppy will need to be put on a diet specific for large breed dog puppies to help maintain a slower growth rate. Feed him over several meal periods and ensure he has plenty of toys to keep him mentally stimulated and out of trouble. Typically 1 cup per 6 pounds of body weight should be sufficient for growth of pounds per week. Too much exercise may tire him out but can also result in joint injuries that may plague him the rest of his life. Video: Lab Pei Puppies Playing.

What is the breeding process at Snowy River Doodles? Our breeding program focuses on producing puppies with excellent temperaments, sound health, and beautiful coats. We carefully select our breeding dogs from top-quality lines, ensuring the highest standards in health and temperament. Our puppy has begun potty training and crate training. What does that mean? We use a litter box placed in their pen starting at three weeks of age and gradually make the pen larger as they begin to recognize the potty area. This trains the puppies to potty in one area. When you go home, that area will be outside. At six weeks, they begin spending time outside. At this time, they also start eating at least one meal a day in a crate by themselves and they spend some time in a crate for a few hours during the day. We put an old towel and chew toy in the crate with them. Do you ship? No, we no longer ship puppies. We feel that there are enough labradoodle breeders across the country to find one locally and there is no need to put a puppy through this stressful process. I am willing to meet owners at the Philadelphia or Harrisburg Airport if you wish to fly in and take your puppy back home with you under your seat. Please inquire if you are interested in this. There are additional fees and requirements. Our Labradoodle puppies are raised in a loving home environment where they receive early socialization and basic training. We introduce them to various sounds, surfaces, and experiences to ensure they are well-adjusted and prepared for life with their new families. Can I visit Snowy River Doodles to meet the puppies and their parents? At Snowy River, we prioritize the health and safety of our puppies. Only families with deposits will be able to visit once puppies are 6 weeks old. And meet the parents at that time. His parents are Tally and Huey. Tina was very responsive throughout the adoption process and you can tell she really cares about her dogs and where the puppies go. Eli has a huge personality and is such a sweetheart. Training was pretty easy as he is super smart. He adapted well when we added our daughter in and is very patient with her. We love our Eli so much and he has added so much to our little family. Thank you Tina for the best companion and snuggle buddy. He is smart, funny and still, at 6 years old, very mischievous! He is the second doodle I got from Snowy River Labradoodles. Sadly his brother, Baxter has crossed the rainbow bridge. They have the most wonderful temperament and are just so much fun. Tina does a wonderful job working with the puppies and is such a pleasure to deal with. There has never been and never will be another dog like her! She smiles at us, she stands up and hugs us when we get home, she brings pure happiness to everyone she meets! She is a little more timid when going out in public so pet therapy is not in her future career. She is still the sweetest! She comes around and gives everyone in our family love, not missing anyone. When you arrive home, she always goes and grabs her babies to show you. She knows so many tricks and was so easy to teach! Our year-old daughter taught her sit, roll over, shake, jump through a hula hoop, tell a secret, weave between your legs, high five and even how to push a button to ask for a treat. She likes to put on dog shows for our company! We really did our research before purchasing our first doodle and man did we choose right when we came to you! We sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

How to Keep Your Golden Retriever Safe on the Water Even if your dog does know how to swim, there are a few things that you can do to help keep them safe. Remember the Sunscreen Humans and dogs are quite similar when it comes to sun exposure. While we can agree, there are big differences between the species, there is one similarity in that the sun can be as harmful to the skin of your dog as it is to your own. This will make it easier to swim in the water as they are learning, and will keep them afloat if they get tired. They are not used to this new activity and may not have the endurance to spend that long in the water. If you let them overexert themselves or swim for too long, they can get overly tired. This increases the risk of drowning. Short little spurts into the water are best. This allows your dog to get used to the water and swim a bit, building up her endurance, so she can swim for longer and longer as time goes by. So cute!

Short swims also allow your golden retriever puppy to develop a sense of their own level of endurance. They will begin to learn just how much effort it will take to swim a specific distance. A young puppy will learn the same thing over time. These steps include: Take your puppy to a small, calm lake or swimming pool. You and someone else should go into the water in case something goes wrong. Gently guide your puppy into the water. Let the puppy feel the water a bit before turning back towards the other person you brought with you. Keep them close to the shore or steps of the pool. The best way to do this is to have one of your hands on the stomach and the other at the base of the tail. This is a good time to talk gently to your puppy and be positive and upbeat. Once their legs are under, you should notice that even while holding them, your dog is moving their legs and paddling. This is the time for praise and positive reinforcement to let the dog know they are doing well. The other person on the shore should call for your dog to come to them. You can release the dog a bit, adding a bit of balance as necessary. When you feel they are comfortable and ready, release completely and let them swim the rest of the way. Continue with this. Take them back out into the water and let them swim back to the person on the other shore for as many times as it takes. Conclusion Your Golden Retriever puppy is sure to love spending time on the water with you and the rest of the family. There are a few simple precautions you can take to make sure that your puppy will be safe when they bounce into the water. But if you learn how to watch them, protect them from getting too tired or too burnt, and you teach them how to swim, your puppy will have the time of their lives. A clip of four golden retrievers playing in the pool with their dad recently went viral on social media and users just can't get enough of them. In the video , shared on TikTok on Thursday by the dog's owner under the username Thegoldensloanes, the four golden pups can be seen in the living room begging their dad to go jump with them in the pool and play, refusing to take no for an answer. It didn't take much to convince their dad, who immediately got changed into a bathing suit and jumped with them into the pool. The happy dogs can then be seen jumping in and out of the pool. The heartwarming video comes with a caption that says: "All four dogs got in the pool yesterday! Many of you have asked where is 4 in videos. Well, she went in, got out. Requested her towel. According to PetKeen , unlike many other breeds, golden retrievers have a dense outer coat that repels water, and their undercoat provides them with a layer of insulation that protects them from the cold. While most golden pups love water, there are some that don't like getting wet, and that is also normal. Moreover, while some goldens dislike water when they're young, they might grow to love it as they get older. The video quickly went viral on TikTok, attracting animal lovers from across the platform.

Recently, a friend asked if she could bring her Golden Retriever puppy over to learn how to swim in my pool. Having longer hair than my dogs, I wasn't sure what the impact might be on our pool, or if a Golden Retriever's coat could handle pool water. Can Golden Retrievers swim in a pool? Most Golden Retrievers love to swim in swimming pools. Pools with properly balanced water can be a safe, controlled environment to introduce your dog to swimming. While it will require additional maintenance, your Golden Retriever can most definitely swim in your pool. After thorough research, we let Dixie train in the pool. There were steps we needed to take before and during to ensure her safety. Also, we learned some highly effective methods to make sure the introduction to water went well, and what maintenance would be required after we finished. I turned off my pool pump because I knew Dixie would lose hair in the pool. It is much easier to skim hair off the top with a net instead of clogging up my filter. I also tested my pool levels with these strips from Amazon to ensure the chlorine was not too strong. Sunrise Pool Service recommends chlorine level for a pool is milligrams per liter. Once I had prepared the pool, I let Monica know it was time to teach Dixie to swim! Making sure Dixie was safe when she was around the pool and other water was the most important thing to Monica and me. Before we brought Dixie out of the house, we made sure she knew basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. This ensured that when we introduced Dixie to the pool, she would be safe. Teaching your dog basic commands like sit, stay, and come is a good idea as it teaches your puppy that you are in charge and builds respect between you and your pup. These commands are also useful when socializing your dog or introducing them to new situations, like the pool. If you haven't already taught your dog these basic commands, check out this video , it's what we used to teach Dixie. First, we brushed any loose hair out of her coat with a grooming brush. Then we trimmed and filed down her nails so no rough edges could scrape the pool or us as she learned how to paddle. We gave her a quick bath with the hose to ensure Dixie didn't bring dirt into the pool. Pre-bathing allowed us to introduce Dixie to water and remove any debris caught in her luscious double coat. How to Get your Dog in the Pool? Since Golden Retrievers are well known for their love of water, we thought Dixie would jump right into the pool. This was not the case. Dixie danced around the water's edge as Monica called her from inside the pool. She wouldn't even so much as dip a toe into the pool. We eventually got her in the pool, but we had to try some different techniques before she took that leap of faith. Using Commands Dixie knew the command "Come" like the back of her paw, and she loved the rubs and kisses she got in reward for running to Monica. We had Dixie sit and stay a few feet away from the pool's shallow end, then Monica, who was in the pool, gave the "Come" command. Dixie leaped from her sitting position and ran towards Monica, then abruptly stopped at the pool's edge, whining for Monica to come to her. Using Toys After trying commands didn't work, we decided we needed some higher value rewards for the pool. We played fetch with Dixie on land to reduce the stress she was showing towards the pool. After a few rounds, she began to calm down, so we decided to try the pool again. We lobbed her ball onto the first step of the pool, hoping she would at least put her front paws onto the step so she could get her ball. Dixie did not take the bait. Using Other Dogs After hours of trying to get Dixie in the water, Monica and I decided to throw in the towel for the day and try again when she was older. Throughout all the festivities of attempting to convince Dixie to get in the water, my dogs were going nuts because they wanted to go swim. I let my dogs out of the house to let them play with Dixie; the three of them love playing together. The dogs sniffed at Dixie, played for a few minutes, and then my pups were sprinting for the pool. To our surprise, Dixie was tight on their tails. My dogs jumped into the water and started paddling around. After observing for a few seconds, Dixie jumped in after them. Dogs are social, pack animals, so it makes sense that Dixie followed the lead of two older dogs accustomed to what she perceived as scary. While using other tricks to get your dog into the pool may work for you and your pup, the old "Monkey see, Monkey do" trick seemed to work best for Dixie! My dogs love hanging out in the pool. Usually, they lay on a big foam raft and doze in the sun. The day Dixie learned how to swim, though, they didn't climb up onto the raft. They just kept jumping off the shallow step and swimming in circles. I assume they were showing Dixie the ropes as she was following them around. Monica and I wondered, how long should they swim? The American Kennel Club recommends limiting swimming time to a maximum of 10 minutes. Dogs can stay in the pool for longer if they relax, but continuous swim should be monitored and limited as many Golden Retrievers do not know their limits. In the end, we had to drag the dogs out of the pool, a significant improvement from Dixie's original hesitation! What to do after swimming in the pool Once we had all three dogs out of the pool, it was time to take care of both the dogs and the pool. Dogs Just like humans, chlorine from the pool can cause a dog's skin to dry out. We took all the dogs to the shower and gave them each a quick bath with a moisturizing shampoo to prevent their skin and hair from drying out, which can cause dandruff and increased shedding. I knew my dogs didn't have any allergies to the pool because they'd been swimming in it for years. However, we made sure to monitor Dixie for any signs of itching or allergies since it was her first time in the pool. Once bath time was over, we dried the dogs off and gave them some dog food. I added some chicken broth and water into their bowls. As dogs swim, they can unintentionally swallow some pool water, which can cause them to become dehydrated. Adding chicken broth or water to your dogs' food after swimming is a yummy way to get them rehydrated. Pool As the dogs ate their food, Monica and I began the process of cleaning the pool. I used this skimming net to get all the dog hair off the surface of the water. Monica put my pool vacuum back into the pool to get anything that sunk to the bottom or was still clinging to the sides. I also made sure to turn my pump back on and retest the chemical balance of the pool. Final Thoughts Swimming is an excellent source of entertainment for your Golden Retriever. The tool allows you to monitor your dog in a controlled environment to learn how to swim. While most Golden Retrievers have a natural affinity for water, some dogs may hesitate to jump in the pool. There are many different ways to acclimate a skittish pup to the pool. If you decide to let your Golden Retriever swim in your pool, be prepared for extra maintenance on both your dog and your pool. Make sure to wash your dog after pool time to prevent dry skin and other allergy issues. Most importantly, make sure to monitor your dog in the pool and never leave them unattended while swimming. Stay safe and have fun! Some retrievers are scared of water and that can make it hard to teach him to swim. In this post we teach you how we go about when teaching our golden retriever puppies how to swim. Once she becomes comfortable, then you can bring her out to the lake or the sea shore and coax her to try it out. How to introduce puppy to water The first thing that you must remember is that your dog must be trained or must be obedient enough or at least, possess the basic obedient skills before you take him to the waterfront. He needs to know that there is nothing to be afraid of, so take him to the waterfront and make him stand in shallow water. It is a good idea to introduce him to water from a young age. And as he grows up, he becomes more comfortable with getting into water and even diving into the same to fetch items. You need to train your dog to come to you when you call out to him, so that when he is in water, he can come towards you once he hears your summons. Rather than pull the leash, it is safer this way. You can introduce your pup to water when he is just eight weeks old. And once you get him used to water, transitioning from a walk along the shores to a fully fledged swim should not take that long. You can also bring another person as well. Now gently lift your golden retriever in your hands, walk into the water, and then gently submerge your pup but make sure that you have your hands under his belly. Your pup is a little panicked at this stage; so you need to talk to him gently, coo in his ear if necessary, but make him feel relaxed. Now, when your golden retriever starts paddling his legs, praise him and use positive reinforcement to make sure that he understands. It is important that you do not force your retriever to swim or stress her out, she must learn to love the water on her own Now gently release your pup and point her towards the shore and see if she can make her way towards the same. Continue the same process and extend the duration each day until she starts swimming with pleasure. Congratulations, you have managed to make your golden retriever take to water. But here are a few safety tips that you may want to review, before you end up throwing your retriever into the deep end of the pool. If you have a dog that is very afraid of the water, an alternate approach would be that you start out by first finding a unpopulated place with calm and shallow water. Get your dog used to the sight of the ocean or lake by walking your puppy on the beach. Try to get close to the water and encourage your puppy to get her paws wet. When the puppy is comfortable, you can start steering your dog towards more deeper waters. Remember to have the leach on while doing this exercise, so that you more easily can steer the puppy. It is also not necessary that the puppy swims the first time while you are doing this exercise. The most important part of this exercise is that you show your dog that the ocean is not dangerous. Our puppy Umbra loves long walks by the ocean! Safety Tips: Do not throw your dogs off the pier or into the deep end: if your pup has still not learnt to swim properly, then he can end up drowning. That is why it is important for you to teach your pup all the basics of swimming so that she is prepared for the same. Invest in a flotation device for dogs: This is a good idea and a nice move; you can invest in a flotation device that helps keep your pup afloat as she tries out the basics of swimming. These flotation devices are designed to help your dog to learn swimming and at the same time, stay afloat. For example if you plan to teach your pup how to swim in a fast moving river then it makes perfect sense to try out the flotation device, and anchor the same safely. Bring a buddy: Introducing another dog that loves swimming may well be the trick that will get your retriever into the water. Most dogs follow other dogs and seeing one enjoying swimming is bound to cause your pup to try out the water. But make sure that the dogs get well with each other and do not fight as that somehow defeats the purpose. Swimming pools: These are often the best location to start training your pup. Slow introduction: chances are that your pup is somewhat terrified of water. Given this you may want to help calm down your retriever, talk in soothing tones and introduce her slowly to water. So you need to lead by example, so get into the water slowly and start paddling. Then coax your dog gently to try out the same as well. You can also use a flotation device so that in the event of anything going wrong, he has a safety net. Rewards: One of the most effective ways to train your dog is to offer him a reward after praising him for acceptable behavior. Now, you can employ the same trick at the swimming pool and coax your dog to get into the water. And once she does, use positive reaffirmation to show that you are pleased with her behavior Be supportive: It is important that you are supportive of your pup; remember that she is panicking right about now, and you need to soothe her fears down. Once they start to panic most dogs raise their front paws to get out of the water. This often results in pushing them down further, so make sure that you are supporting your pup during the initial training period. Try placing your hand under her belly, this should help support her as she starts to use her front paws. You can also place a hand under her rump for additional support. Your dog will require additional support until she becomes better versed with the basics of swimming. Four paws: Chances are that your golden retriever will only use her front paws to paddle, so you need to encourage her to use all four paws when swimming. Once she gets the hang of it, encourage her to retrieve small objects. Soon, you should be able to get the message across and your pup would soon know the meaning of these water words. Check the weather as well as the currents: It is important that you check the weather and currents of the local body to assess if it is safe taking your dog out for a swim. Do note that rip tides can be quite powerful and it is never a good idea to take your dog swimming in inclement weather either. It is important that you assess the local conditions including the current tide as well as the weather before you take your dog swimming, And make sure that you go along to supervise her swim, so that you can always jump in after her and rescue her if needed. It is important that you take care to check all the local conditions before you take your retriever for a swim. Next, Feed And Reward Your Dog Now that you have managed to teach your golden retriever to swim, there are a few things that you need to take care of right away: Wash and pat: It is important that you use lukewarm water to wash and pat her dry. Now, she can adjust to the room temperature and feel comfortable. Hot food: Make sure that you have selected a nutritious brand of food for your dog. It is important that she nourishes her body soon and hot piping food should do the trick. Do remember that meat happens to be the main source of nutrition for your dog so select food items which feature the same. Consult a vet: You can always consult the vet about the best food items to purchase for your dog. Small portions: Do remember that your golden retriever is still a pup so you need to feed her in small portions. If you are not sure about the schedule, you can, consult a vet and the number of times that you would be required to feed your dog, in the course of a single day. It is a good idea to go in for stainless steel bowls for both water as well as dinner. The one reason that you may want to opt for stainless steel bowls is on account of the fact that they come less bacteria. Health treats: You can also provide your pup with some health treats. It is important that you do not force her to get into water as that can serve to increase her anxiety levels. Just follow the steps listed here and you should be able to teach your dog to swim in no time at all. And in due course, you should be able to take your pup for a swim. Just remember that it is important that you support your pup all through the various stages and ensure that she does not have to panic and that you are with her, during this process. And make sure that you assess the local conditions, prior to heading to office. Soon, your pup will not bark on seeing the water or start whining the moment she ends up in war. But as mentioned earlier, these are just during the initial stages and soon you should be able to watch your golden retriever have tons of fun, swimming in the water. Related Articles.
