From being in the movies to being the number one choice for commercials, print ads and funniest video stars, Labradoo dles are everywhere. With this profound movement of the love of all things Labra doodle, the purity and purpose of what Labradoodles were originally bred for has become convoluted with many types of doodles. The Labradoodle breed itself is be coming a confusing mixture of levels of breeds, types of infusions into the blood lines, etc. Australian Labradoodles are produced when multiple generations of the original Australian bloodlines, Rutland Manor and Teagan Park are bred together. These two kennels began breeding these dogs to create a hypo-allergenic, low to non-shedding dog.

These dogs are going to have a consistent temperament and trainability level.

Clearing our dogs for potential diseases not only ensures that our dogs do not have these issues prior to breeding, it also ensures that we will never produce puppies that could have these diseases. The hip and elbow testing does not guarantee that puppies will never have hip dysplasia, but it is the best method that we have to prevent producing puppies with genetic hip issues. Hip problems are often caused be environmental factors, but culling puppies for breeding purposes helps to reduce the risk of breeding bad confirmation. Temperament, coat and trainability for different types of disciplines are key in our breeding program. Creating perfect family members, guide dogs, therapy dogs and best friends begins with breeding the perfect parents. Years of care and experience have made us experts at accomplishing high standards set by the ALAA and our own personal goals for our dogs.

Like many large breeds, a German Shepherd dog is not considered fully grown until they are about 18 months old. Female German Shepherds continue to fill out until they are around two years old, while the male German Shepherd growth rate continues until they reach two and a half years of age. Males are larger and require more time to fill out their chest and abdomen. As you can see by the German Shepherd weight chart, these dogs can continue to grow until they are three years old, but the majority of growth occurs within 24 months. If your GSD is older than 36 months and continues to put on weight, contact your veterinarian to ensure weight gain does not lead to obesity. How big should a 6-month-old German Shepherd be? A six-month-old German Shepherd puppy will be quite large, as many German Shepherds undergo massive growth spurts between two and five months old. By six months, a male German Shepherd will weigh 53 pounds on average, whereas a female will weigh about 46 pounds. How much bigger will my German Shepherd get? There are a few ways to gauge how much bigger a German Shepherd will get. First, check your puppy's age. If your GSD is younger than two years old, they definitely have room to keep growing! Another way to tell if your pup still has a lot of growing to do is their paw size. Do their paws look large compared to their legs and body? This is a classic adolescent feature of a dog and means your pup is likely still growing! Most of the time, a dog will not grow bigger than its larger parents. What is the size of a full-grown German shepherd? An adult male German Shepherd is typically 24 to 26 inches tall, while adult female German Shepherds are 22 to 24 inches tall, according to the American Kennel Club German Shepherd Standard. The estimated full-size varies significantly between sexes. In terms of weight, an adult male German Shepherd weighs anywhere from 75 to 90 pounds. A female German Shepherd weighs notably less at 55 to 70 pounds. Please keep in mind that these numbers are only estimates to give you an idea of how much bigger a German Shepherd puppy may get. Some dogs will be both smaller and larger than these weight ranges when fully grown due to a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Learn all about your puppy's physical characteristics, breed history, personality traits, and more in our comprehensive guide. Preventive care is key in helping your German Shepherd live a healthy and long life. Helping your dog maintain an optimal weight is one of the best things you can do for their health.

How much exercise does an 8 month old German Shepherd need? You may ask whether an 8 month old German Shepherd is still a puppy. Yes, it is, despite its size and more adult look. These dogs become complete grown-ups when they are two-year-olds. If you are an owner of this breed or want to adopt a puppy, you need to know what it looks like and feels and how it behaves at the age of 8 months. To learn all these details, continue reading this article. Size and Appearance Your smart and cute little friend does not look like a fluffy cub anymore. It has sufficiently grown within the previous month and looks almost like an adult dog. It continues growing, so you need to measure your pet regularly to see whether it develops appropriately. The height of an 8 month old German Shepherd differs between males and females. Male Shepherds are inches cm tall, and females grow around 18—20 inches cm. These dogs continue growing until they are 2 years old and completely mature. GSDs can differ individually — much depends on their inherited features. Males can weigh lbs 28 kg , while females are smaller — lbs kg. The weight can also be hereditary. In addition, food habits can influence it a lot. Your German Shepherd may have floppy ears at this age, though most dogs of this breed have upright ears already. This can also be caused by genetics. However, it can be a result of poor nutrition or trauma in some cases. That is why you need to provide your pup with appropriate food and chewing toys to strengthen its muscles and help the ear tap upright. If you suspect your doggy could have been accidentally injured, go to your vet instantly. In general, your German Shepherd looks fully grown, but its bones will be hardening for the next 6—12 months, so you need to be very careful about its nutrition and exercise. It also has all the adult teeth, so it needs more chewing toys for this reason too. The coat has two layers already but continues to thicken. It will gradually become more lustrous. Your doggy starts acting like an adult Shepherd, so it becomes more independent and reacts to other animals and people, showing signs of aggression. It is also more active and curious, so it may become bored easily if not controlled. It will try to test boundaries and challenge you for alpha status. Another problem is excessive chewing. It will chew everything it sees, and your clothes, shoes, and furniture may be seriously damaged. Some other issues include digging potholes and barking loudly. Remember that your doggy is a predator, so barking, showing aggression, chewing, and even biting is part of its natural behavior. You need to control these destructive habits and socialize with your pet by walking in the dog park or outside the house. Walking on a leash is an essential skill to teach it. Buy chew toys, and never leave your pup alone for a long time. Provide your doggy with new opportunities for exercise and training, but never punish it for doing something wrong. If your pet plays roughly, chases, bounces, barks, growls, and bites, stop it immediately. There is no exact standard of sleeping time, but the overall daily sleep needs to take 15—20 hours, while an adult dog sleeps 12—14 hours. Ideally, the pup needs 2—3 hours of sleep during the daytime and all the other sleeping hours — at night. It may no longer wake you up for a potty break if it is healthy and properly trained. Provide it with a comfortable place to sleep and avoid too noisy games before bedtime. Since your pet is immensely energetic at this age, it needs a lot of exercises to develop its muscles and remain active and alert. The exercise should be regular. As for walking, add 5 minutes to every month of its age, so the average exercise time now should be 40 minutes. Walking is the most beneficial kind of exercise. It will help your doggy explore the surroundings and socialize. Your puppy generally needs at least 90 minutes per day to play and explore things. Divide the exercise into two or three shorter sessions for running, walking, swimming, playing fetch, and training. Mental stimulation is also very important. Interactive games, obedience training, and playing with puzzle toys will also do much good during these sessions. Remember not to overload your pup with exercise because it may be harmful to its development and health. However, you need to keep an eye on any inconsistencies in its appearance and behavior to prevent or stop undesirable conditions. Many German Shepherds are prone to elbow and hip dysplasia. This condition can start developing when the joints are not formed healthily. Bloat is a serious life-threatening issue that displays by restlessness, vomiting, and drooling. It happens when you feed a dog just once a day, and it gulps its food very quickly. Then, the stomach may twist and trap gases inside. If you notice the slightest signs of this condition, go to see your veterinarian immediately. Your doggy may also be prone to allergies, so excessive scratching can be the first sign that you need to think about visiting a vet. Your dog has already been immunized against all severe infections by this age, so the next vaccination will be at one year. Groom your pet properly. Its coat needs regular brushing. Do it twice per week, or you may need to brush it every day if it is a shedding season. Your pup needs appropriate toys, so buy them for it. They are rubber chew toys, interactive toys to avoid boredom, and rope toys to play tug-of-war or fetches. Consider the size, material, and durability of the toy you are buying. Feeding At this age, your puppy continues gaining weight. However, you need to be careful not to overfeed your doggy because obesity can cause many health problems in the future. There is a rule to feed a German Shepherd puppy three times per day at the age of 3—6 months and two times per day at the age of 6—12 months. The food has to be balanced and regular. Feed your pup at approximately the same time of the day, in the mornings and in the evenings. The amount of food matters a lot. Your puppy needs around 12 oz g per meal, so it should be at least 36 oz approximately 1 kg every day. You may choose between two-times and three-times feeding and equally spread the food between these portions. Young German Shepherds need the right combination of good fat, carbohydrates, and protein in their diet. Whole grains, vegetables, and lean meat will be the best choice if you want to feed your doggy with products. The kibble should be of the best quality if you prefer to feed your puppy with it. Look at the labels on the pack to see how many cups to feed to your pet. Never give your pet too much food at once because its stomach is too delicate to cope with large meals. That is why dividing all the food into smaller meals is strongly recommended. They will create a special feeding plan for your pup that can help it stay at a healthy weight. Training Training is the most important part of your care and establishing closer bonds with your pet. Training an 8 month old German Shepherd involves improving its behavior and getting to know more about its surroundings. It will be easier to control your dog in the future if it is properly trained. If a German Shepherd is not trained properly, you may face aggressive behavior after a while. So, your doggy has to be properly potty-trained and socialized. While potty training is completed at an earlier age, socializing is essential at any time. Training your pup can be fun and enjoyable if you know how to do it properly. The first thing you need to consider is establishing rules and limits. Your energetic and curious pup needs more structure and discipline not to get in trouble or become unruly. Teach your doggy patience and self-control by setting a rule of sitting in front of you for a while before you give it food. Then, you need to think about how good your pup is at obeying basic commands. German Shepherds at this age are very intelligent and eager to please their owners, so teaching commands now is quite rewarding because your pet will learn everything very quickly. Be consistent. If you give a command once but never repeat it in the same situation, your doggy will understand that this command is not mandatory to obey. Use positive reinforcement and never shout at or punish your pup for disobedience. Positive reinforcement means you need to reward your pet with treats, praise, or petting every time it has done something correctly. Never overtrain your doggy. German Shepherds have a rather short attention span at this age, so try to make your training sessions short and encouraging, or your pup will get bored or tired. If you see a problem with paying attention, break up your sessions into even shorter parts throughout the day. You should always be positive while training your dog. If you are not, it is probably better to consult a dog trainer or trust the entire training job with a specialist. You can also teach your doggy to do little tricks like playing dead. Pay attention to recall training because your dog needs to come back to you when you call it, even if there are some distractions. This skill is lifesaving because your pup may sometimes get loose from the leash and be injured. Final Thoughts German Shepherds are unique dogs. They are very intelligent, curious, and energetic at any age, so they need a lot of exercise and have some specific care needs. Your 8 month old GSD will also need a lot of training related to socialization. You also have to provide it with proper nutrition and a balanced diet. Be aware of possible behavioral problems. Your pet may sometimes be If you provide your pet with appropriate shelter, food, exercise, playtime, and training, you will get the best and most loyal friend ever. The height can be different for males and females. Your boy may get inches cm of height, while girls usually grow smaller — around 18—20 inches cm. Is the age of 8 months too old to train a German Shepherd? It is never too late to learn something new for your doggy. At this age, German Shepherds are especially intelligent, curious, and ready to learn new things and please their masters. However, potty training has to be completed much earlier. Your energetic pup needs a lot of exercise at this age. It is about 2 hours or even more. However, if we talk about walking, your pup needs 40 minutes of walking time. Other exercises may include games, playing with toys, jumping, or swimming. If you notice that your pup is tired, think about splitting the whole time into two or three sessions. David W.

Moreover, your German Shepherd puppy will become more active and playful at eight months. He may become more independent and assertive and even challenge you for alpha status. He may also start to test boundaries, challenge rules, and have some behavior issues. The most challenging part of raising 8-month-old German Shepherds includes dealing with their excessive chewing on everything like shoes, clothes, and furniture. Your German Shepherd will also dig huge potholes, bark excessively, and have aggressive tendencies around other people. Try to control this destructive behavior by walking him to the dog park or outside the house whenever possible. Instead, provide your GSD pup plenty of opportunities to exercise and train so he can learn good behaviors. Physically, your German Shepherd puppy will be almost fully grown, although his bones will continue to harden for another 6 to 12 months. His coat will also continue to thicken and become more lustrous. There are a few things to keep in mind when teaching your dog, and here are some of them. Establish Rules and Limits An 8-month-old German Shepherd will likely be full of energy and curiosity. Provide him with structure and discipline, or else he may become unruly. Establishing rules and limits does not have to be complicated. For example, you may want to set a rule that your German Shepherd must sit before you give him his food. It will help him learn patience and self-control. It is especially true for German Shepherd puppies, who are intelligent, eager to please, and quick to learn. However, keep in mind that an 8-month-old German Shepherd is still working on mastering basic commands. Provide Positive Reinforcement Positive reinforcement means rewarding your dog for good behavior with treats, praise, or petting. Remember, puppies have short attention spans, so keep the sessions short and sweet. If your pup is having trouble paying attention, try breaking up the session into smaller intervals throughout the day. With patience and positive reinforcement, you can teach your basic dog commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and off. You can also begin teaching your dog tricks like rolling over or playing dead. Do Recall Training Recall training is an essential skill that every dog should know. Recall training teaches your dog to come when called, even when there are distractions. It can be a lifesaving skill if your dog ever gets loose from their leash or yard. Here are some of our top picks for toys for 8-month-old German Shepherds. Rubber Chew Toy To find the perfect rubber chew toy for your 8-month-old German Shepherd, look for one made of durable rubber and sized appropriately for your dog. A rubber chew toy will not tear easily and is less likely to be ingested. Additionally, chewing can help reduce anxiety and provide a sense of calm for your pup. Avoid toys with small parts that could pose a choking hazard. Instead, opt for a solid toy that your dog can enjoy for months. Interactive Toy Your German Shepherd puppy needs interactive play to avoid boredom. Good engaging toys keep your dog occupied, interested, and happy for long hours. Rope Toy A rope toy is perfect for playing tug-of-war or fetch with your German Shepherd. Fetch is a classic game that dogs of all ages enjoy. When selecting a rope toy for your German Shepherd, you must consider the following: Size — Make sure the rope toy is large enough for your dog to carry in his mouth comfortably. Material — Ropes made of natural fibers like cotton or wool are usually best for puppies, as synthetic materials can be harsh on their tender gums. Durability — Because German Shepherds are known for their powerful jaws, the rope toy must be durable enough to stand up to heavy chewing. Look for toys made of multiple strands of rope, as these are typically more difficult for dogs to destroy. It can cause a lot of pain later in life and make it hard for your dog to get around. German Shepherd dogs are also known for having sensitive stomachs, so watch what you feed them and how often. Some may do well on one food, while others might need a more sensitive option. Moreover, German Shepherds are prone to something called bloat. Signs of bloat include restlessness, drooling, and trying to vomit with no results. It happens when the stomach twists and traps gas inside, which can be very dangerous. Finally, German Shepherds are also prone to allergies , so if you notice your dog scratching too much, it might be time to visit the vet. By familiarizing yourself with these common health concerns, you can help ensure that your German Shepherd puppy stays happy and healthy for years to come. At eight months old, German Shepherd puppies started to grow into their adult size! A good rule of thumb is to provide at least one hour of exercise per day, divided into two or three shorter sessions. It can include walking, running, playing fetch, or any other activity that gets them moving. German Shepherds are also intelligent and energetic, so mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity. Try giving them simple obedience training, playing interactive games, or providing puzzle toys to keep their minds challenged. It means they should ideally get around two to three hours of sleep during the day and the rest at night. German Shepherds are usually pretty good at sleeping through the night, but young puppies may need to wake up for a potty break once or twice. If you have an 8-month-old German Shepherd, ensure that he gets enough rest by providing a comfortable place to sleep and avoiding too much excitement before bedtime. Also read:. However, the maturity of a German Shepherd puppy should be a lot higher as the puppy begins to behave more and more like a fully mature German Shepherd adult. But it is still possible to notice slight adolescent or teenage behavior in the puppy. They still remain curious, but they should be less prone to accidents from playing or any movement in general. Speaking of playful energy, the 8-month General still retains the same amount of energy as the 7 month German Shepherd puppy. It can also become a lot more dominant especially with its owners as you would often find your lovely puppy companion challenging you for alpha status in and around the home. You can achieve control with proper training practices. The high intelligence of the German Shepherd in general should make training sessions a lot easier for you as they tend to learn faster than some other dog breeds. However, you have to ensure the training sessions are handled properly using the right training methods while exercising the needed patience during your training sessions. Your puppy does have a high tendency to become destructive if left alone for too long without the proper channels to exercise. Some of these behaviors that might develop in your puppy include chewing almost everything they can find in the house including shoes and clothes, excessive barking mostly at strangers and he may also begin to test boundaries with both you and other familiar faces. As your puppy begins to reach its peak in physical growth and development, the bones become a lot denser and more difficult to break. They can also begin to show more aggression toward other dogs in the vicinity. This is their attempt at being more protective of what they love. This is because the German Shepherd puppy should be a lot more comfortable being independent or alone. They can stay in their cages at night and not result in howling to get your attention. It is still recommended that you regularly visit your vet for frequent evaluations of your German Shepherd puppy. With that being said, your German Shepherd should be 2 months closer to its next round of DHPP vaccination shots and deworming. This should be administered to the puppy at 12 months or 1 year, put that in your schedule. Asides from regular checks at the vet, your puppy needs to be properly groomed at 8 months. They have a high propensity to shed a lot of their fur at this stage of their life. Regular brushing of fur is required to prevent coat matting. Also, dental care is highly required as your puppy should have grown its full adult teeth by now. Spaying and neutering of your puppy could be considered at this stage due to the high sexual energy that should be building up in your German Shepherd at 8 months of age. If left to roam freely, your German Shepherd might end up mating with most dogs of the opposite sex it can find, so always keep them on a tight leash when leaving the home on walks to gardens or places where other dogs might be in. To deal with the excesses of aggression, dominance, and compulsive behaviors that your 8 month German Shepherd puppy might exhibit, proper training should be considered for the German Shepherd as it is highly crucial. Luckily, training your German Shepherd can be easily achieved due to their high intelligence trait. As stated earlier the growth rate for the German Shepherd at 8 months is heavily reduced or slow. Instead of a much notable increase in overall height and size, what is more, apparent is that the German Shepherd bones should be a lot harder now as bone density should be high. What this means is that your puppy should be a lot more resilient. For the male German Shepherd puppy at 8 months old, expect the size range to be between 62 lbs and 65 lbs. Female German Shepherd puppies are a little smaller in size than male German Shepherd puppies but they still count as large dogs. The height range for the female German Shepherd should be between 18 inches to 20 inches. Your German Shepherd still has a lot growing up to do as they keep improving in growth for the next year and a half. The exact height of a German Shepherd puppy can be influenced by some factors like diet or nutrition and even the breeding line of the German Shepherd does have a slight influence on the growth of each individual dog. Aside from an increase in the size of the German Shepherd, there are other notable physical changes that could happen to an 8-month-old. One would be the further thickening of its coat as the coat should become a lot more lustrous. Their ears should have stopped growing but should stand upright or perky. This means their appetite should be quite high as their calorie intake should also be quite high. However, it is highly essential that you develop a proper feeding schedule for your beloved puppy. The schedule should help you reduce the possibility of overfeeding your German Shepherd puppies by properly rationing each food serving to spread across the day. This way, you can avoid causing them stomach pains from eating too much and even reduce the possibility of obesity for your puppy as they are quite prone to this. Their food should contain lots of carbohydrates, proteins, and even fats. Proteins should be the most dominant nutrient in their kibble mix followed by carbs and then finally fats. Invest in whole grains, lean meats like chicken, turkey, and fish, and vegetables alongside fruits like bananas and apples for your puppies. One meal in the morning, noon, and in evening. Try to create enough time intervals for the meals to be fully digested before another meal. Always provide good drinking water for your puppies too. Also, ensure your puppy eats early before they fall asleep. Sleep at night should be better for both you and your puppy at 8 months of age. Still, they are rapidly growing creatures and they do need all the sleep they can get to be fully active and strong throughout the day. It is thereby recommended that you provide them with a minimum of 14 to 17 hours of full sleep each day for them to be energetic and playful. Ensure they go to bed early so they can quickly get most of their sleep hours at night leaving room for short bursts of naps during regular activities. Try to force them to sleep early at night by engaging them in some light exercise and training after each last meal of the day. Take them on walks or play some games with them. You however must ensure they go to sleep early. The easiest and most basic way to exercise your German Shepherd puppy can be through regular walks. Due to their high bone density, your puppy can be able to handle an hour of intense exercising by 8 months of age. You can split this into two minute walks or three 20 minutes walks each day. To achieve the best results go at a slow pace, do not force your puppies to run until they are adults as it can affect their bones and joints causing defects like EIC. Asides from that, your puppy can also partake in other activities like tag and fetch. Engage them in mental exercises like puppy puzzles with the promise of a reward at the end to keep them stimulated and interested. Exercising is quite crucial for the German Shepherd. If left without properly being exercised, they can become pretty destructive, especially around the house or the yard. Training is also quite crucial for the German Shepherd puppy as well as for you as it helps establish a stronger bond between you and your puppy. One thing about proper training of your German Shepherd puppy to consider is the method of training that is being employed. For you, the best method to be employed is positive reinforcement training which deals with rewards for good behavior and a less harsh but firm punishment for bad behavior.

As English Bulldog Breeders, how do you breed for a healthier Bulldog? Like all things in life, breeding for health is simply a matter of priority. We are blind to many of the breed priorities that distract other bulldog breeders from improving the health of their Bulldog. We focus on health and personality and very little else. We are not interested in winning a blue ribbon in the show ring. Rather, we test for things like elongated soft palates, narrow tracheas, stenotic nares, luxation in the patellar tendons, heart defects, cherry eye, optic cilia, entropion, ect. We focus and prioritize creating healthy bloodlines, therefore our bulldogs are typically much healthier than the breed as a whole. After breeding for health, what other priorities are you focused on? Our true desire is to create the perfect family bulldog. We also believe a bulldog bred for the correct personality is essential to the family unit as well. A Bruiser Bulldog is bred for intelligence and playfulness. We want our bulldogs to be full of personality and some quirk. We believe a full personality along with a little stubbornness is the true North star of the bulldog breed and is what makes them unique among other breeds. We look for these personality traits in our adult bulldogs and continue to create bloodlines that reflect these qualities and produce high quality English Bulldogs for sale.

The Golden Retriever is well known for their mellow, happy go lucky personality and their intelligence. The Poodle is known as a very intelligent dog with a very loving personality. At Doodle Creek we select the best possible temperaments in both breeds to create a wonderful combination of the two breeds. We are committed to producing healthy English Goldendoodles with loving, happy, playful, fun personalities. The English Goldendoodles tend to be very alert, eager to please and intelligent. They have a goofy, playful personality and they thrive on being with people. Their love for people has won them over as one of the most popular breeds on the planet! When careful breeding practices are implemented, the English Goldendoodle makes the perfect companion. They are typically a mild mannered dog with a moderate energy level. Their exercise requirements are not excessive so two minute walks a day works well. The tend to be inquisitive dogs and love to explore making them great dogs for hiking, camping or going on family outings. If they are introduced to water at a young age, most will acquire a love for the water. They are very adaptable and will adjust to most any new environment. They do well in either urban or rural settings. Appearance The English Goldendoodle to me is the most stunning dog ever known to man! They are known to look like Teddy Bears with a beautiful round face and sturdy structured body. They have a much prettier face and sweet, kind eyes. Their ears are well placed as well which gives the English Goldendoodles a rounder look in their face. This is a large part of why we have chosen to go with the English Golden Retrievers in our breeding program. Every breeder creates their own look and we focus on bringing you the prettiest English Goldendoodles possible. Every puppy has a unique and different look but in general, they have that round face, stocky body and beautiful stance with the tail set similar to that of an English Golden Retriever. They typically have a fluffy, to wavy coat that is low to non shedding. We have been breeding English Goldendoodles for many years now and we know the combinations of parents that work well to produce stunning puppies. Breeding is an art and creating that great look without compromising on temperament and health is key to bringing you a beautiful puppy with a great personality. Finding a breeder who produces the look you are wanting in your Doodle is critical. Sizes We breed a variety of different Doodle sizes. The estimated size of your Doodle is determined by the size of both parents. Standard Doodles pounds and inches tall - This is the result of breeding a full sized Standard Poodle with an English Golden Retriever or an English Goldendoodle. Medium Doodles pounds and inches tall - We have Moyen Medium Poodles here that we breed to full sized Doodles or Retrievers. This results in a nice medium sized companion. They come in either F1, F1b or Multigen generations. Mini Doodles pounds and inches tall - This is the result of any number of combinations depending on the size of the parents. It is not possible to have an F1 Tiny Doodle because breeding the smallest Poodle possible to a full sized Golden Retriever will still give no guarantees that the puppy will be in the pound range. Tiny Doodles only come in the F1b generation at Doodle Creek. These dogs typically have low to non shedding coats. Some will have the straighter coats with a loose wave to it. These coats will sometimes be low shedding. Others will have the fleecy coats and will shed very little to nothing at all. If you are wanting strong Retriever characteristics and you are okay with possibly some shedding, this would be a great option. If you have allergies, you may want to consider the F1b or Multigen breedings. These dogs will quite often look very similar to the F1 English Goldendoodles in that many still keep that nice, fleecy coat type. The litters normally have a few with the fleecy coat types and a few with the curly coat types. The fleecy coat typed F1b puppies are typically extremely low to non shedding. The F1b is an excellent choice for those who suffer from allergies. Multigen English Goldendoodles - Through our years of experience, we have now come to the point where we use our trusted genetics and we will breed two totally unrelated Goldendoodles together. We do all the proper DNA testing to ensure that we are getting the low to non shedding offspring from these matings. We have found that the Mulitgens are just as good as the F1b for those with allergies as they are also low to non shedding. The advantage of breeding Mulitgen English Goldendoodles here at Doodle Creek is that we are able to get more of the colours we are looking for in our puppies such as the tri colour, black and white, brown and white, or the merle. Coat types Our English Goldendoodles have several different coat types. Most are very low to non shedding. They turn into a loose curled coat as an adult and have a very soft feel. They are low to non shedding. The curly coat is similar to that of a poodle. They are typically non shedding and are wonderful for allergies. They get that beautiful, messy look to them and are very attractive looking as adults. They will often be low shedding but shed much less than a Golden Retriever. In the photos below we have posted the puppy photo on the left and one as they became adults on the right. This will give you an idea of what to expect when you get a puppy from either coat type listed here.

Breeds The link has been copied! Pugs are undeniably adorable. With their wrinkly, short-muzzled face and curled tail, they're hard to resist. But what's the price of a pug? Understanding the costs and expenses of owning a pug is essential for anyone thinking of welcoming one into their home. In this article, we're going to break down everything you need to know. The Initial Cost of Buying a Pug The first cost that comes to mind when considering getting a pug is the initial purchase or adoption fee. Depending on where you acquire your pug, these costs can vary widely. This variation is due to factors like lineage, breeder reputation, location, and color of the puppy. Adoption is another route to consider. These fees often include initial veterinary check-ups and vaccinations, making adoption a cost-effective and life-saving option. Ongoing Pug Maintenance Costs Once you've welcomed your pug into your home, it's essential to understand the ongoing maintenance costs. These include expenses for food, grooming, and routine vet visits. With their shedding fur, regular grooming sessions are necessary to keep your pug looking its best. Remember, a healthy pug is a happy pug! The Cost of Pug Healthcare Pugs are brachycephalic breeds. They're prone to health conditions like brachycephalic syndrome due to their short noses and compact skulls. Treating such conditions can become costly, with expenses reaching into the thousands. There's also the chest area of your pug to consider. Pugs can suffer from obesity, which puts pressure on their chest and can lead to further health issues. Regular check-ups and a proper diet can help prevent this. This tiny chip could be a lifesaver if your pug ever gets lost. Additional Pug Costs to Consider Training costs are another factor to bear in mind. Pugs can be stubborn, but with the help of positive reinforcement , they're quick learners. Insurance is also essential. And then there's the cost of making your home pug-friendly. Pugs aren't known for their athleticism, so you might need to invest in doggy steps or ramps to help your pug get around. If you've ever wondered about the cost comparison between a pug and a French bulldog, here's a quick overview. In terms of initial purchase price, French Bulldogs are usually more expensive than pugs. However, maintenance costs, such as feeding, grooming, and regular vet visits, are relatively similar for both breeds. The key difference lies in the initial purchase price. The Holiday Effect Don't forget the effect of holiday guests on your pug expenses. Pugs are social creatures and love being part of the action. However, holidays can bring a host of potential hazards for these little guys. Additional expenses might pop up, from emergency vet visits due to accidental food ingestion to the cost of boarding if you're going away. Ensuring your guests know how to interact safely with your pug is crucial to avoiding these additional costs. The price of a pug goes far beyond the initial purchase or adoption fee. From food to vet visits, insurance, and more, it's essential to understand the full range of costs before bringing a pug into your home. Every pug deserves a loving, prepared owner who can provide for their needs. Understanding the costs is the first step to becoming that owner. Remember, the joy and companionship a pug brings are truly priceless. So, what's the price of a pug? It can vary, but the love they bring to a home is invaluable. If you're ready for the commitment, the cost will certainly be worth it. Beyond the Price Tag: The Real Cost of Owning a Pug When discussing the price of a pug, it's essential to understand that the financial aspect is only part of the picture. Owning a pug, or any pet for that matter, requires an investment of time, energy, and love. Pugs are social animals. They crave human companionship and attention. Leaving them alone for extended periods can lead to destructive behavior or even separation anxiety. Hence, the real cost of owning a pug extends beyond your wallet to your lifestyle and routine. Pug Expenses: Factoring in Time Time is a significant factor when owning a pug. They require regular exercise, albeit less intense than some other breeds, to keep them healthy and prevent obesity. Walks, playtime, and training sessions take time, and this is a cost that potential pug owners should be ready to bear. Then there's grooming. Though pugs aren't the most high-maintenance breed when it comes to grooming, they still need regular baths and nail trims. Their facial wrinkles also require cleaning to prevent infections, adding to your time investment. Unseen Costs: Pug Lifespan and Healthcare Pugs have a relatively long lifespan, typically living between years. This longevity, while a blessing, means a long-term financial commitment for owners. As pugs age, they may develop health issues that require regular medication or special diets, adding to the overall cost of pug ownership. The Emotional Cost of Pugs Finally, we can't discuss the price of a pug without mentioning the emotional investment. Pugs are known for their loving and affectionate nature. They quickly become part of the family, worming their way into your heart. But with this deep attachment comes the emotional cost of dealing with health issues or the eventual loss of your pet. While this is a part of owning any pet, it's a cost that potential pug owners should prepare for. This smart collar could be the answer to several concerns pug owners face. Fi Dog Collars and Pug Safety A significant concern for any dog owner is the safety and security of their pet. Fi dog collars come with built-in GPS tracking, providing peace of mind if your pug ever gets lost. It's an alternative to microchipping and can be a lifesaver, ensuring your pug is traceable at all times. Health Tracking with Fi Collars Pugs, with their cute, compact bodies, are prone to obesity. A crucial part of keeping your pug healthy is monitoring its activity levels. That's where Fi dog collars come in. Fi collars track your pug's daily steps, helping you ensure it gets enough exercise. This tracking can be instrumental in preventing obesity and the resulting strain on your pug's chest and overall health. Fi Collars and Training Your Pug Positive reinforcement is key when training pugs, and Fi dog collars can play a part in this process. The collar's tracking feature can help you monitor your dog's behavior when you're not around. You can then use this information to reward good behavior, helping your pug learn faster. A Fi dog collar's tracking capabilities can help you keep an eye on your pet during the festive chaos, ensuring they don't wander off amidst the excitement. How much does a pug puppy cost? The cost of a pug puppy can vary widely depending on the source. What are the ongoing expenses of owning a pug? Ongoing expenses for pug owners include food, grooming, and routine vet visits. Additionally, insurance, training costs, and pet-friendly home modifications can add to these costs. What health issues are pugs prone to, and how do they affect the cost of ownership? Pugs, being a brachycephalic breed, are prone to issues like brachycephalic syndrome. They can also suffer from obesity, which can strain their chest. These health issues can lead to significant veterinary costs. How does a Fi dog collar contribute to the cost and care of a pug? Fi dog collars, while an added expense, offer benefits like tracking your dog's location and monitoring their activity levels. These features can contribute to your pug's safety and overall health, making the collar a worthy investment. Is the cost of owning a pug worth it? While owning a pug comes with considerable expenses, the joy and companionship they offer make the cost worth it for many owners. It's important to understand these costs and be prepared for them before deciding to get a pug. Conclusion: In conclusion, the cost of owning a pug extends far beyond the initial purchase price or adoption fee. It's a long-term commitment that involves financial, time, and emotional investment. Understanding these costs, which range from feeding and grooming to healthcare and training, is crucial before welcoming a pug into your home. In comparison to breeds like the French bulldog, while the maintenance costs are similar, the initial purchase price is usually less. However, unforeseen circumstances like the arrival of holiday guests can lead to unexpected expenses. Introducing tools like Fi dog collars can help manage some of these costs. The collars assist in ensuring the safety, health, and behavior of your pug, adding to your peace of mind.

Pugs are often considered expensive due to a combination of factors, including their popularity, demand, and the costs associated with breeding and raising them. Here are some reasons why pugs may have a higher price tag: Breeding challenges: Pugs have a unique physical structure with a short snout, which can lead to health issues. Breeding pugs requires careful selection to minimize these problems, which can increase the cost of obtaining healthy and well-bred puppies. Health concerns: Pugs are prone to several health conditions, such as respiratory problems, eye issues, and skin allergies. Responsible breeders undertake health testing and provide necessary veterinary care, which contributes to the overall cost. Limited availability: While Pugs are a popular breed, finding a reputable breeder can be challenging. Responsible breeders may have a limited number of litters each year, which increases demand and drives up prices. Popularity: Pugs have gained significant popularity over the years due to their charming appearance and friendly temperament. Increased demand for Pugs can drive prices up, as breeders can charge more when there is high demand for a particular breed. Breeding expenses: Responsible breeders invest a considerable amount of time, effort, and money into breeding and raising their puppies. This includes expenses such as health checks, vaccinations, proper nutrition, and socialization. These costs are passed on to potential buyers. So just be ready for more than the price of a puppy — unexpected vet bills, food , treats, toys, etc. This is pretty much the same price as a Pug from any reputable breeder, as you would expect to get a purebred Pug from a reputable breeder.

However, the market price of a Pug will vary greatly based on a few important factors, such as the blood line, breeder reputation, location, and coat color. However, compared to other dog breeds, Pugs are not very cheap. Though you can certainly find one for much less, the average cost of a healthy Pug from a good breeder is not something to scoff at. There are plenty of factors that can determine how much a Pug will cost you. For instance, location, breeder reputation, pedigree and colors can all play a factor in Pug price. Location Unfortunately, the price of a Pug can vary depending on where you are. In some countries such as the UK , these dogs will likely cost a lot more. And even in the same country, the price will vary by location state, city, region, etc. If you must pick up a Pug in a certain region, then there is very little you can do. Driving for more than 10 hours one way may require an overnight stay. Pedigree and Lineage The pedigree or bloodline of a Pug will matter in regards to price. In fact, this may be the most important factor for price variation seen in all dog breeds, including Pugs. According to Business Insider , the prices of pedigree dogs such as Pugs are climbing to an all-time high. So what exactly is a pedigree dog? These dogs have at least 3 generations without any crossbreeding. Anything less is technically not a pedigree dog. However, there has been concern and controversy over the overbreeding of pedigree dogs. These dogs are bred over and over again using dogs from the same family. Inbreeding can lead to a lower life expectancy in Pugs, as well as potential degenerative diseases and mutations. Rather, the opposite is likely to happen. Pugs with a superior lineage will cost much more than a Pug without. And when I say superior lineage, I really mean champion lineage. Champion dogs are those that win an event at an AKC event. Sometimes, these dogs can command a hefty premium if they have an impressive long list of ancestors. Another great reason to go with AKC registered Pugs is that you can confirm the lineage of the pup. Reputable Pug Breeder There are two types of breeders you can purchase a Pug from: reputable and non-reputable breeders. I always highly recommend finding a reputable breeder. However, just like in every industry, reputation comes with a premium price. By reputable breeders, I really mean responsible breeders. The American Kennel Club inspects thousands of kennels each year and provide certification to those that breed responsibly. But because these breeders are recognized and recommended by the AKC, their puppies do come with a premium. These colors are fawn and black. Selling different colored dogs for different prices is frowned upon. However, even reputable breeders do this. Unfortunately, this is a classic example of supply and demand. In addition, expect the apricot, silver and apricot fawn colors also see a markup in prices. Less common dogs cost more. Personally, I think the classic fawn Pug with a black mask is the most attractive. No matter what color, all Pugs will be loving dogs and companions. To sum things up, the key is to shop around. There are so many great adoption websites with plenty of Pugs that need a new home. The first site I highly recommend is Adopt-a-Pet. With just a quick check, I already see plenty of Pugs on that marketplace! Another fantastic website is PetFinder. Have a check for yourself! Visit Your Local Animal Shelters Adopting a Pug from an animal shelter is always the best, that is, if you can find one. Do a simple Google search for shelters near you and check Yelp too! When doing your research, check to see if they have a website. It might be a good idea to check that before driving all the way there. It really depends on the shelter, but adoption fees can vary a lot. Are Pugs Worth the Price? But are they really worth the cost? Pugs are some of the most entertaining dogs you can find.

Female Pug: Which Is Better? The initial cost of a puppy alone will set you back at least a few hundred dollars. But why are they so expensive? There is no one factor that directly determines how much a Pug puppy will cost. There are multiple factors often working hand in hand. Getting some background knowledge in these things will give you a better grasp on what makes Pug puppies so expensive and where your money is going. This will also help you figure out the right Pug that fits within your budget. Here are some of the major factors affecting Pug prices: Age: As a rule of thumb, puppies typically cost more than adult dogs. This is no different when it comes to Pugs. Pug puppies are typically more expensive as the process of breeding can cost the breeders a lot of money. From health screenings to vitamins and sometimes even c-sections, it takes a lot of money to keep the mama dog happy. Appearance: Although there are only two registered Pug colors in the American Kennel Club, Pugs can often be seen in a wide assortment of shades. Rarer brindle coats tend to fetch a higher price than solid colored pups, and fawn or apricot Pugs with a black mask are also experiencing a rise in cost. A Pug from a reputable breeder, although expensive, will have perfect health, a good temperament, and no pre-existing medical conditions such as PDE or Pug dog encephalitis. A lot of reputable breeders also breed dogs from champion bloodlines, which ensures that the Pugs will inherit the best traits from their parents. A Pug with a superior lineage will cost significantly more than a regular Pug. Health Screenings: A vast majority of Pug breeders usually screen their puppies for pre-existing health issues before selling them. Healthy puppies with no signs of underlying medical issues will usually have a heftier price tag than others and will save you vet expenses in the long run. Training Received: Although Pugs are good family dogs, they can be quite stubborn and challenging to train. So if a Pug breeder trains their puppies before selling them, expect the price to be relatively higher than usual. Bringing home trained puppies is always worth it, though, as it saves you time and effort. These are just some of the most significant things that affect the price of a Pug dog. Of course, this list is by no means complete. Rescues generally have a lower price tag for their Pugs. What makes the deal even more ideal is that most shelter dogs have already been fully vaccinated. Additionally, many of them have already been dewormed, spayed or neutered, or even microchipped in some cases. Here are some of the initial expenses for your Pug puppy: Food and Treats: Deciding between wet or dry food is crucial in the first few days that your Pug dog comes home. If your Pug is a picky eater, you may need to try out different brands and flavors to see which one your pup likes best. This also applies to doggy treats. Ultimately though, stainless steel bowls will withstand more wear and tear. Crate: For first-time dog owners, a crate is one of the most important things to invest in. Crate training your pup is important, as it introduces them to a safe space when they feel overstimulated or unsafe. It also helps transport your Pug dog to places like the vet or during car rides. Leashes and Collars: As soon as you bring your new dog home, it is important that you get them acquainted with a leash and collar. Some dogs take a while to get adjusted to wearing harnesses, so starting pups with a collar while getting them used to daily walks is optimal. Toys: Pugs often have a reputation for being lazy, sleepy dogs, but this is not the case at all. A well-stimulated, happy Pug will be playful and alert rather than spend most of its time sleeping. Enrichment objects such as chew toys and puzzle toys are sure to keep your puppy busy and your slippers and charging cables safe from bites. Grooming Essentials: Although they have short fur, Pugs are double-coated. This means that they shed more than other short-haired dogs. Deworming, Flea, and Tick Medications: A lot of Pug breeders typically cover deworming, flea, and tick prevention before selling their puppy. Initial Vaccine Shots: Before a Pug puppy turns one year old, they need to complete their first set of vaccine shots. The usual shots most dogs need are for distemper, parainfluenza, rabies, parvovirus DHPP , and hepatitis. Neutering or Spaying: If you have no plans of breeding your Pug, it may be good to consider neutering or spaying them. If done at the right age, getting your dog fixed will help prevent the risk of some cancers and uterine infections. Dog License: While it may seem unnecessary at first, licensing your dog is a great way to have a permanent formal record of your ownership. This is especially helpful if your dog gets lost. Licensing also lets people know if your dog is up to date on its rabies vaccinations. A microchip will come in handy if ever you lose your pooch. It does not, however, work as a GPS tracker. If your lost puppy gets taken to a shelter or a clinic, they can easily scan the chip and contact you immediately. These include vitamins , pet-safe wipes, poop bags, and a poop scooper. A few toys should do the trick, but make sure to provide them with at least a few puzzle toys to get their brains working. Pugs thrive on attention and most are happy with an hour or so of playtime in the yard, two walks per day, and an occasional trip to the park to socialize with other dogs. Training your Pug beyond basic obedience training is a great way to bond with them and provide mental stimulation. Pugs are eager to please and attentive to their owners, so teaching them tricks or training them in agility are excellent ways to occupy their minds and enhance your relationship. Pugs only eat about pounds of food per year and are mostly healthy, although setting aside extra cash to deal with emergencies is a good idea. Food, medication, and pet insurance—if you purchase it—will be the highest regular costs, but occasional vet visits and extra medication for potential eye problems could become significant outlays as well. Additional Costs to Factor In Most Pug owners have success training their dogs themselves, but some people still opt for professional training. Dog sitting is another additional cost that only applies to some people. Before you purchase your new buddy, make sure you can budget enough money per month to cover food and medication costs. It is also a good idea to have money set aside to cover unexpected medical expenses. Training games, obedience training, and makeshift agility courses are excellent inexpensive ways to keep your Pug happy and make for some great owner-dog bonding time. Your upfront costs could be significantly reduced if you adopt a dog from a local shelter. The main drivers are food, medications like heartworm and flea and tick prevention, and pet insurance. You might also like:. Pin it to remember the Price of Pugs Why are Pugs so expensive? So just why are Pugs so expensive? One reason is because Pugs, like most other Brachycephalic dogs with flat faces and large heads , are most often born via cesarean section. Pugs are also susceptible to numerous orthopedic and hereditary diseases—so reputable breeders will conduct testing on both parents to help ensure a healthy litter. This test screens for Hip Dysplasia and Patellar Luxation. Breeders also have the option to test for Elbow Dysplasia with this screening. This important test screens for Necrotizing meningoencephalitis NME , a fatal brain disorder that can kill Pug puppies. This metabolic disease breaks down the red blood cells of a young Pug. The price will depend on several factors: The location of the breeder. The rules of supply and demand pertain to dogs as well so larger metropolitan areas are often more expensive. The pedigree of the parent Pugs. Pugs that have participated in sanctioned competitions have more expensive litters. Whether the Pug is a show quality dog or a pet quality dog. Show quality puppies with a future in competitive dog shows and breeding are more expensive. The age of the Pug. Puppies are definitely more expensive; you may occasionally find a breeder selling a retired breeding Pug or a Pug that originated at the breeder but has been returned. The color of the Pug. AKC recognized two colors : black and fawn. The Canadian Kennel Club recognizes fawn, silver fawn and black. The Federation Cynologique Internationale and the Kennel Club of the UK both recognize silver sometimes called silver-fawn , apricot often called apricot-fawn , fawn and black. The less common the color, the more expensive the dog. Attend a sanctioned dog show and talk with Pug breeders and competitors for recommendations. Ask your veterinarian for recommendations regarding reputable breeders. Do an online search for complaints. Check the Facebook page of the breeder and read through comments. Remember, however, comments can be deleted by the page owner. When you find a breeder and want to determine if they are reputable: Ask for references. The breeder should be happy to share the name and contact information for customers. Ask questions. Lots of questions. The breeder should be glad to share the test results from the health tests and screenings. Ask how often the dogs are bred. Ask to tour the kennels. Are they well maintained? Do the dogs look healthy? Beware of operations that will not let you tour the kennels and breeders that want to meet you in a parking lot to hand over the puppy. Be prepared for questions. The breeder should ask YOU questions as well; be suspicious if the breeder has no questions about your past history with pets, your living situation, etc. Ask if the breeder will take the Pug back if necessary. Ask for a contract. If medical problems are diagnosed, the breeder should readily take the pup back and provide a full refund. Pug breeders may adopt out of the area but, nonetheless, you will want to go to the breeder to meet the parents, view the kennels and bring home your puppy in person. This will add to your expenses—but breeders that transport a puppy by air are putting the dog at risk. If you want to buy a Pug online, please think again. There are numerous scams; people spend thousands of dollars for a dog and never receive a puppy. AKC warns potential pet parents to be wary of any seller asking for payment by Venmo, in gift cards or as a wire transfer. Dogs purchased from puppy mills can mean years of heartache and expensive veterinary care. The pros of purchasing from a Pug breeder: You may be able to select a puppy—including a choice of color and gender. A reputable breeder will be passionate about Pugs and will a resource for years to come. The cons of purchasing from a Pug breeder You will pay more for a Pug from a breeder than a rescue or shelter. If you find a breeder who has Pug puppies for sale at prices far lower than you are seeing from other breeders, you must suspect you are dealing with a backyard breeder who has not done health screening, with an online seller who is operating a puppy mill or is running a scam. You will need to wait until puppies are available. You will need to do your own due diligence to select a reputable breeder. Pugs in rescues are far less expensive that those at a breeder. Pugs under a year old will be the most costly. The dogs that are up for adoption at Pug rescues may be there for a variety of reasons: Death of an owner. Lost Pugs that the rescue had seen on shelter websites. Pugs a breeder no longer wanted. Whatever the reason, the Pugs in rescue may or may not come with papers, depending on whether or not the dog was surrendered with papers. You may also find Pug rescues at pet expos and special events in your area. Rescues will often have a booth with information on the rescue and a few adoptable dogs. Most dogs at purebred rescues are pulled from shelters, often open-intake shelters that may not be no-kill shelters. You will be able to adopt a Pug for far less money than purchasing a Pug from a breeder.

Click on the link of adoptable Pugs in the top left corner; you can then enter your zip code to see Pugs near you. The listings will include both rescues and shelters. Unlike adopting from a Pug rescue, dogs at a shelter will generally be housed at the shelter although an increasing number utilize foster homes whenever they can, especially for puppies. If the dog is housed at the shelter, you may not know a lot about his or her personality. Talk with the shelter staff and ask if the dog has been temperament tested and if they can tell you if the dog is skittish, shy, outgoing, has any prior training, etc. And while you may see dogs listed as a Pug at a shelter, that may or may not mean they are Pugs, purebred or mixed. Shelters use their best judgement, often while intaking many dogs, so sometimes the accuracy of the breed is questionable. Since Pugs do have such a distinctive look, however, you can use your judgement to see if the dog displays usual Pug characteristics and markings. Ask the shelter if they have any background on the dogs; you may be surprised to find a puppy whose purebred mother came in as a pregnant lost dog and gave birth at the shelter. It definitely happens. The Pros of Adopting a Pug from a Shelter You are saving a life, not only of the dog you adopt but of the next dog who will be rescued due to the kennel that is now clear.

We fell in love with Doodles when our son raised a puppy to be a future service dog and we wanted to do more. You can read more about how we began this journey by reading Our Story below. We understand how difficult it can be to identify reputable breeders from the puppy mills and online brokers, so we have partnered with TellTail. Feel free to click the TellTail badge to verify our ID and confirm our identity. We are also happy to connect by phone so you can feel comfortable in who you are choosing to raise your future family. Our Story My husband and I have been married 30 years and have two sons. Over a dozen years ago, we fell in love with Doodles when our youngest son raised a Doodle puppy to be a future service dog as part of his Eagle Scout Project. In the blink of an eye, we welcomed Luke, a shaggy doodle puppy into our home and hearts and my son spent a year taking this sweet boy with us everywhere. This was our introduction to Doodles and we were smitten - low shedding, low allergen, affectionate and Muppet cute. We set about learning all we could about responsible breeding practices, canine health and longevity, canine genetics, inheritable diseases and their prevention and very importantly the best methods of puppy raising to shape future temperament. During our deep dive into all things Doodle, we considered many breeds, including Goldendoodles and Labradoodles. We wanted a medium size since not all veterans had large homes and yards. We prioritized health, trainability, intelligence and friendliness. And of course we needed to ensure we had the low allergen, low shedding qualities that would make them easy to live with and take into restaurants and retail establishments. We loved the Goldendoodle puppy we raised, but his energy level was high and Goldens and Labs are know for maturing slowly, essentially staying a puppy until they are a year or two years old. It was essential to us to include a working breed that comes into their brains quickly as this would be an important trait for a service dog. And knowing what traits were important for a service dog, meant they would then also be excellent for therapy work and as family companions. So we began our program with Australian Mountain Doodles at the time, we called them Aussie Bernedoodles , as well as Bernedoodles and Aussiedoodles. To my knowledge, we were the first to do the Aussie Bernedoodle cross which combines the good natured, calm and strong attributes of the Bernese Mountain Dog, the smart, work-oriented Australian Shepherd and of course the versatile, intelligent, low shedding, low allergen Poodle. We consider ourselves fortunate to have been raising these amazing Doodles in Southern California since .In , we made the decision with extended family to re-locate my parents and ourselves in order to be more present in their later years. So we rounded up the Doodles and my coffee pot okay there was a lot more involved but those were essential and made the transition to the Oregon Coast where we continue to raise healthy, affectionate, family-friendly, hypo-allergenic Bernedoodles and Australian Mountain Doodles. This is a family affair and we are devoted to our Doodles full time. This means no vacations, no out of town weddings, no being away for more than a few hours and every day begins and ends with their needs being put first. It takes a huge commitment and a lot of passion to devote ourselves so entirely to placing healthy, happy puppies with new families. We are always evaluating, refining and striving to improve our program. We try to do what is best for our dogs and future puppy owners while trying to maintain a balance with our family. Below are some photos from a trip to Knotts Berry Farm with the Doodle that started it all. We would like to see every family pet come from a responsible source. If you truly love dogs and want the best for all canines, you should also support the idea of responsible breeding. If the only dogs you deem acceptable are the messes made by irresponsible breeding or negligence, purchased through the proxy of rescue, and you demonize the practice of breeding or the expansion of healthier hybrids, then what you are saying is that the only dogs that should have a place in this world are those bred irresponsibly. Better breeding goes hand in hand with responsible rescue. The critical window to set puppies up for good adult behavior is when they are weeks of age with being the most critical. Our puppies are raised in a loving environment and from healthy, happy parents who were genetically tested to be free of common issues so they can live long, happy lives with their people. We take great care, raising each puppy to ensure they are well-rounded and prepared for their new life with you. When making decisions about our breeding programs, we prioritize the physical and emotional health, and well-being of our breeding dogs above all else. Healthy, happy moms make for healthy, happy puppies. We ensure the moms feel loved and cared for so that they in turn are excellent tenders of their puppies. The puppies are held everyday and weight checks are done regularly to ensure they are gaining weight and thriving. Every puppy in addition to mom is loved on and nurtured every day. We follow and utilize three methods of early neurological stimulation and handling for our puppies, timed to coincide with specific periods in the puppies life where they are most receptive to it. This method utilizes tactile and thermal stimulation and 3 positioning exercises, done once daily when the puppies are days old. When puppies receive consistent, non-traumatic handling, they become more outgoing and friendly and show less inclination to be fearful when they are older. This encourages the puppies development into an emotionally balanced mature dog and ultimately a better family companion for you. Puppy Culture is a comprehensive guide as to what can be done with and for puppies at each point in their development to ensure the best possible outcome for the puppy. It's a "how to" on raising confident, happy puppies, using early neurological stimulation, enrichment and resiliency exercises to encourage the best out of each puppy at each stage of its development. Puppy Culture utilizes clicker training however we believe the doodle breeds we are raising are easily motivated with treat training and rely on that method instead. So many breeders underestimate the role a good gut biome plays in the health of their breeding dogs. What mom is eating while pregnant and lactating, passes to the puppies and affects their health as well. This is huge! The fact that breeders have the ability to influence the health of their puppies into adulthood for their future families is a game changer. We feed a nutrient-dense, biologically appropriate food to our dams and sires. We include prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, goats milk, fresh foods and veggies and no inflammatory grains or excess carbohydrates. We raise chickens and ducks using fermented organic feed, sprouted barley and fresh scraps from our garden so our canines have the very best natural eggs for their meals. We rotate proteins and products, including raw, lightly cooked, freeze-dried, air-dried and a small amount of Farmina kibble in different varieties. All of this is done to support their gut, skin and coat health. We believe in the most natural approach possible. We use no pesticides around our home, We exercise great caution to only use necessary deworming protocols and minimize toxic chemicals on and around our dogs. Protecting their immune system improves gut health and consequently the health of their future puppies. We ensure our adults and puppies lead happy lives. Some of our pack live with different family members so we still have great influence on their condition, feeding and vet care. I groom them at my home so they regularly visit and hang out. A few live in local guardian homes that we trust. They whelp and raise their puppies in our home. They love and trust us and are comfortable going through such a momentous and emotional time as childbirth with us close by. I cannot emphasize enough how stress on mom channels as stress in the puppies and can influence their future personalities. Happy moms make happy puppies.

She absolutely adores her half brother Lefty Australian Bernedoodle from SwissRidge and they spend most of their days chasing and wrestling each other. She is a social butterfly at the dog park. She makes sure to spend as much time playing with the other dogs as she does soaking up the attention of their owners. She gets very excited when meeting new people. She loves walks and since day one with us has been very good on the leash. She is cautious around water but will wade in the water when she is feeling brave. She is a joy to be around!

While he can play rough, at home, he is always gentle with anyone he meets for the first time, especially children. Because he is so intelligent, a bit of training would not hurt. He is very sneaky, which makes me laugh. I wake up every day, happy to see his face. I thank SwissRidge every day for bringing him into my life. Sherry, you are an amazing, responsible breeder. It is not a business, as much as a calling for you — to bring joy to so many families. I am so lucky to have found you and SwissRidge. Hudson has brought so much happiness and love into my life. I could not have asked for more. He has the sweetest demeanor and loves to cuddle. Trek likes to go swimming, hiking and play fetch, but is perfectly happy sitting next to us on the sofa. He has always been eager to please and always wants us to be happy with him. Trek actually knows how to make my husband and I laugh. If we are grumpy and just not in the best of mood, he will bring us one of his squeaky toys. If we ignore him, he starts squeaking it but does it in such a way it sounds like he is scolding us. Never fails to make us laugh and change our mood. He is just an all-around perfect dog and has brought so much joy and laughter to our home. He loves every person he meets and every critter he encounters. Trek is a true testament to a wonderful breeding program.

It largely depends on the type of coat that they have.

If you already have a Poodle, the cost of getting them groomed and styled for the teddy bear aesthetic depends on their size. Can Teddy Bear Poodles Swim?
