We do not use Australian Shepherds in our program. We introduced Merle into our program in .We are very proud of our Merle Bernedoodles. You can see several examples of our amazing Merle Bernedoodles below. Where does the merle gene come from and how it got in the poodle gene pool? I get this question all the time. I have done a lot of study of the merle gene in the poodle gene pool and believe that it was not caused by introducing another breed into the gene pool but, in fact, it is a mutation that occurred naturally. Merle is probably the most mis-understood and hotly debated dilution gene in the poodle. Many believe it must be a recessive gene because it doesn't affect the appearance of red, apricot and red or diluted colors such as blues and silvers. In addition, it can be hard to see or not evident at all on black and brown dogs cryptic. Not only is its appearance illusive to breeders but it has confused scientists and it is still not completely understood. The merle pattern has been studied many times and the last study released in emphatically stated that merle was caused by a mutation in the gene called SILV or PMEL.The research was believed to be so solid that tests were offered to breeders to identify Merle in their dogs. However, as of March the company who owned the patent for the test, Idexx, stopped offering tests as they discovered the scientists identified the wrong gene. SILV is not responsible for merle. The gene they decided was merle SILV actually turned out to be for a form of piebaldism- not merle. One theory is that piebaldism may be issue when connected to merle- or it may be piebaldism itself that is the issue. Another theory is "The Misidentification Theory. However, it is said - rightly so - that merles have often been misidentified as other colors. Then there is the "The Cryptic Merle" theory. This theory is actually a subcategory of the Misidentification Theory. Merle is what is called a "modifier. If merle acts on a black coat, the result is blue merle. If it acts on a chocolate coat, the result is red merle. And so on. The final theory I have is that that merles have been in the breed and that mere is a "natural" occuring pattern in the breed, and that merles have often been misidentified as other colors. When I called AKC to register Chuck and asked about the color code to give him they said to give him code and This refers to a a red and white dog with black markings. This leads me to believe that when looking at the color pedigree 5 or 10 generations back you would not know if the dog was actually a merle or a parti meaning merle could be in the pedigree without proper identification. Merle can affect all coat colors. The merle forms of brown and black are usually called "red" though this is not correct; red and merle are genetically different and "blue" as patches of blue are formed throughout the coat. Merle is a dilution gene just like the blue, chocolate in a traditional color but without the color of blue DNA. Merle has its own colours and DNA; a blue merle is a dog who has blue patches on its body, red and some are chocolate or "cookies and cream". Dogs who are recessive red can still be affected by merle, but the patches are either hardly seen or, if the dog is a clear recessive red, are not visible at all. Combinations such as brindle merle exist, but are rare. In addition to altering base coat color, merle also modifies eye color and coloring on the nose and paw pads. The merle gene modifies the dark pigment in the eyes, occasionally changing dark eyes to blue, or part of the eye to be colored blue. Since merle causes random modifications, however, both dark-eyed, blue-eyed, and odd-colored eyes are possible. Color on paw pads and nose may be mottled pink and black. Color on the nose may be black, blue, or red. You can see a perfect example of a chocolate merle in our stud Chuck. Merle Bernedoodles What is a Merle Bernedoodle? What are the most common Merle patterns in Bernedoodles? How is a Merle Bernedoodle produced? Merle is a term used to describe the pattern of a dogs coat. Merle is a dilution gene, that is, it lightens whatever the coat color would otherwise have been. The lightening is not spread evenly over the coat, but leaves patches of undiluted color scattered over the dog's body. Also, the lightening seems to work primarily on the black pigment in the coat. Merle refers to the pattern in the coat and is not a color as such. The white and gray patterns that appear on a black make them appear to have a blueish cast. These are called blue merles. Merle is a color combination in dogs' coats. Although most breeds that can have merle coats also typically have white markings such as around the neck, under the belly, and so on , and often tan points typically between the white and the darker parts of the coat , these are separate colors from the merle; some dogs do appear completely merled with no white or tan markings. Merle can also alter other colors and patterns besides the usual red or black. Utah Bernedoodles. If black, puppy has markings outside of the normal pattern for a parti puppy. Markings can range from silver, light tan, to dark brown, to red. These markings are found over the eyes, on the sides of the face, on the chest, on all four legs and feet, and under the tail. There is no white on the puppy or the white is very minimal. Unlike a phantom puppy, there is white present somewhere on the puppy. It is most common to only have white on the chest and sometimes the feet. These puppies most closely resemble a bernese mountain dog in their color patterns. It is more rare to get the white on the face with perfect berner markings, so please understand if leaving a deposit, you could be waiting a very long time for a puppy like this. The two non-traditional tri-colors we produce are sables and brindles. A sable is when the outer hair is a darker shade than the hair underneath. These puppies are a different color when they are shaved down. They commonly have places where their hair tends to stay darker like on the ears or tail. They may or may not have phantom markings and can have varying amounts of white. Brindle is when the puppy has stripes of different colors on their body. If all these colors werent confusing enough as it is, you can also have a sable brindle combination where the puppy has the stripes, but the hair underneath is still lighter too. These puppies will have varying sizes of patches. Several colors of hair create the "blue" and "red" color that these babies are known for. One puppy could appear to be several colors as its base coat. No two babies are ever the same!!! The phantom merles have those distinct phantom markings that we love so much! On average, these babies will appear to be three or more colors! These babies have large patches of distinct white, not just small spots of white hair mixed in which is common in merles. These puppies can appear to be five or more colors. The are the most unique color out there and are something extra special!!! A little about merles: Standard sized merle bernedoodles are especially hard to find. They are one of the few colors that are auctually harder to find in Standard size than mini. The reason being that standard sized merle standard poodles are difficult to find. The merle color is very uncommon in all poodle sizes. They can usually be readily found in toy and mini sized poodles. The toy poodle is then bred to a standard sized female to create the Moyen or medium sized poodle. This poodle as the mother cannot safely be bred to a bernese mountain dog. She will be far too small. If this moyen poodle is the father, the puppies will be a larger mini or very small standard size. These are not Large standard sized puppies that we are hoping to have. This merle moyen poodle should be bred again to a standard poodle in order to bring as much size as possible to the offspring, and then that puppy could safely breed for standard sized puppies. It takes several generations to safely and correctly breed for True Standard sized babies. It takes many years to create the perfect poodle to make these babies happen!

F1b Mini Bernedoodles will have a higher success rate for no shed, and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies.

Males tend to be larger than females, but beyond that, there is not a major difference between the genders. The differences are quite subtle, and both males and females make amazing pets. We think temperament is more important than gender when matching dogs to owners. If your Bernedoodle is very active outdoors, you will likely find a shorter clip easier to maintain. But many owners enjoy the look of them in a fuller coat. A curly coat is less likely to shed but more likely to become matted if not brushed regularly. Daily brushing will be required, as well as professional grooming every weeks. So be specific and show the groomer photos of how you want your dog to look. Also Avoid bathing your Bernedoodle too often, as it strips essential oils from the coat. There is no such thing as a fully-hypoallergenic dog; Bernedoodles tend to be allergy-friendly. Most people with allergies to dog dander i. Every Bernedoodle has a different coat. The curlier the coat the less it will shed. Most Bernedoodles have the wavy type coat that is low- to non-shedding. If you are allergic to dog saliva you will most likely be allergic to Bernedoodles. You will know if you are allergic to saliva if your skin will break out in hives when a dog licks you. We always suggest that if allergies are involved, customers should meet some Bernedoodles if they can. This has happened very rarely. Yes, you can find a copy of our contract here.

Our puppies are raised in our nursery area and brought into the house or to the front yard daily [weather permitting] for playtime and socialized by any of our 6 little girls:] they also have a doggy door for outside access. They will be up to date on shots and deworming, they will have a shot record, a vet certificate, a signed health contract, and a small food kit. Our puppies will range in coat types from curly to wavy.
She makes very little noise at all. Inside, there might be the occasional audible sigh when she is trying to communicate something. She is so well-behaved at home. She does not go to the bathroom in the house and thinks that pee pee pads are for resting on. She loves going for rides in the car and also enjoys meal time- she is food motivated! She prefers being with the company of her humans. A good licky mat and calming treats keep her occupied when left alone at home and when she is bored with that, she will just wait by the door until your return. She responds pretty well to a firm tone, She sometimes gets extra excited when she sees other dogs so be mindful when walking her on leash because she will occasionally grumble. I take her on short walks in the morning, evening and sometimes late afternoon and then one longer walk when I can. As far as people go, she is not shy — Champagne is very comfortable going right up to anyone and smelling them. She is excited to go out and she gets playful when you are trying to put her harness on. But she definitely does not play rough. She will make someone a very sweet, gentle companion!! They are loyal, intelligent and beautiful animals and it breaks our hearts to think of them suffering or dying in shelters. Our team is made up of dog lovers who give up their time to find loving forever homes for our dogs. Most of our dogs come from shelters where they have been abandoned.

That really is it! History Where are German Shepherd Dogs from? Perhaps never in the history of any breed has such concerted effort been put into improving a dog, mostly due to the formation in of the Verein fur Deutsche Scharferhunde SV, an organization in Germany devoted to overseeing the breeding of the German Shepherd. Breeders sought to develop not only a herding dog but also one that could excel at jobs requiring courage, athleticism, and intelligence. During World War I, they were the obvious choice for a war sentry. The Wolfdog was later dropped as it caused many people to fear the dogs. How big do German Shepherd Dogs get? The double-coat, with a thick undercoat that sheds twice annually, loses hair continuously but can be maintained with regular brushing one or two times weekly. What are the German Shepherd Dog colors? Black, tan, solid black and solid sable. How long do German Shepherd Dogs live? Lifespan: 10—12 years What are some German Shepherd Dogs facts and information? The German Shepherd held the number one spot in American popularity for many years. Although presently it has dropped from the top spot, the German Shepherd remains as one of the most versatile dogs ever created, serving as a police dog, war dog, guide dog, search-and-rescue dog, narcotics- or explosives-detecting dog, show dog, pet—and even shepherd.

Not all of our rescue Shepherds are lucky enough to go directly into a foster home; some have to start in a kennel. Every rescue dog must be in a foster home before it can be adopted. In a foster home it will experience the love, care, and attention it needs and deserves while it is waiting to be adopted and we will observe the personality of the dog to help place it in the best possible forever home. Our network of rescue volunteers is there to help you with advice, and Rescue pays for the care of the dog including food and authorized veterinary expenses.

With their signature bat ears and expressive eyes, French Bulldogs, or "Frenchies" as they are lovingly known, have captured the hearts of many dog lovers around the globe, consistently ranking among the most popular breeds. Renowned for their easy maintenance and the ability to thrive in apartment living, French Bulldogs are a city dweller's delight. Their small size, typically weighing under 28 pounds, makes them perfectly suited to compact urban spaces. However, their charming personalities and heartwarming companionship are universally loved, irrespective of city or countryside living. This breed's laid-back nature does not mean they're devoid of fun and play. On the contrary, French Bulldogs can be quite playful and are known for their often comical and entertaining antics, which only further endears them to their owners. Their affectionate demeanor, combined with a remarkably low barking tendency, makes them a joy to have around the house. French Bulldogs are sturdy, compact, and stocky, with a powerful muscular build that contradicts their small size. They have a smooth coat that comes in a variety of colors, from fawn and brindle to white and grey. Their facial expressions are human-like, and they're known to "talk" using a complex system of yawns, yips, and gargles. However, owning a French Bulldog does come with responsibilities. Their brachycephalic short-nosed nature makes them prone to certain health issues and less tolerant of extreme temperatures. Despite their muscular appearance, they are not the best swimmers, and care should be taken around bodies of water. Our stud Power is a thick and wrinkly handsome Blue Fawn!

As a hybrid dog, the Golden Irish will inherit the physical and behavioral traits of both its parent dog breeds, however, not all Golden Irish dogs will inherit the same characteristics even if from the same litter. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with both the Golden Retriever and the Irish Setter if you are planning on adopting a Golden Irish as the breed can have more characteristics of one parent breed than the other. Golden Irish are known for being very loyal and affectionate dogs with exceptional agility. They are very friendly and should make a wonderful companion or family dogs. Golden Irish are active dogs that require regular exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Exercise is essential as it helps them burn off excess energy, maintain a healthy weight, strengthen their muscles and bones, improve their cardiovascular health, and prevent behavioral issues such as boredom and destructive behaviors. The intensity necessary may vary depending on their age, health, and lifestyle. Responsible dog owners should ensure that their furry friends get plenty of exercise to keep them healthy and happy.

Interestingly the cross is quite similar to early golden retrievers as seen in this painting. The Golden Retriever has been bred for lighter colors in recent years because this is favored by the AKC. Our Golden Irish puppies tend to be darker in color. How'd we start? Growing up my wife's family raised Pekingese. She loved their dogs and the litters of puppies that came and went. We wanted our children to have a family dog and to share the puppy experience with them and so we chose to raise Golden Retrievers. My family had a Golden Retriever growing up. My wife always dreamed of having a Golden Retriever or Irish Setter. We got our first Golden in and named her Mandy. We had 4 wonderful children ages 7 to 17 and our lovely dog Mandy. Mandy went everywhere with us. We lived on acres along the Calapooia River where the children would explore with Mandy at their side. Our 2 boys were passionate about the outdoors and loved to hunt and wanted a specific dog to train. It wasnt hard to convince their mom, but took a little longer to convince me. But convince me they did. They chose a male and of course named him 'Big Red'. The boys did an amazing job training the 3 dogs. We had the 4 dogs and plenty time and attention to offer them with the energy and passion from the 4 children. Cody and Mandy had their first litter of puppies in .The puppies were all healthy and delightful. The experience was just as my wife remebered as a child and she was happy that our children were able to enjoy the same experience. It was rewarding to place the puppies in wonderful homes. The pleasure and excitment the families portrayed as they picked up their puppy was addicting. The friendships we gained were rich. Ginger, trained by Josiah, was the cleverest dog we ever had. We were planning to breed Ginger with Cody. In the summer of Ginger came into heat so we would put Ginger and Cody in seperate kennels, on a cement slab, when we went to town. We were waiting for her to be in midcycle to breed her. I came home at dusk, one night, and let her out and she immediatly disappeard. We ran for a flashlight and found her in Big Red's Kennel. Big Red was our Irish Setter. We were devastated and felt like we had failed as breeders. However, we found that the puppies were extremely smart and farther advanced as they aged compared to our Pure Goldens as puppies. They were much calmer than most Irish Setters, and were more athletic than most Golden Retrievers. We knew these dogs would be a hit, and they have been. The first families to contact us were families specifically looking for the mix. They shared their stories of growing up with Golden Irish Mixes. Over and Over we heard how they were the best family dog they ever had. Why we Continue The Golden Irish was not merely something stumbled on by accident. The original accident was precipitated by a years long love of both the Golden Retriever and the Irish Setter. I was fascinated with the grace and freedom that contrasted the Irish Setter from more conventional setters in the story. He, rather, romanticized the hunt as a thing natural to the dog and foreign to the dogs human companion. Big Red knew what he was doing when he hunted. Big Red was the master hunter and Danny was his mere apprentice. Irish Setters can be strong willed. They are intensely loving and loyal but they do not have the level of automatic obedience seen in some breeds. They are majestic animals who do require some work during training to reach their potential. Unfortunately, because as the world has urbanized, the required space for an Irish Setter to shine has become rare, and this magnificent breed has seen declining popularity. Irish Setters are creatures of the open fields and the ubiquity of automobiles has ensured open fields are rare. We are fortunate to live in an area of the country still rural enough to allow the Irish Setter to run. But even we have to find time and space to give our dogs this opportunity. After almost 20 years experience with both Goldens and Irishes I have concluded that the main character trait differentiating the Golden Retriever and Irish Setter is patience. The Golden Retriever was bred to patiently wait for the hunt. The Irish Setter was bred to go out and make the hunt happen. Both love to chase things. Both can have seemingly boundless energy. Both are loyal companions. The Golden Retriever will wait for the ball to be thrown and the Irish Setter will grab the ball and expect to be chased. The Irish Setter is proactively invoking the hunt, whereas the Golden Retriever is awaiting its arrival. We were no experts at first and have learned a lot in 20 years. It turns out the patience of the Golden Retriever tends to be inherited by the Hybrid making them more suitable for Urban environments. It also turns out that the grown dogs can be stunningly beautiful. We have improved our breeding over the years and no longer hesitantly advertise. Through our hard won experience we are able to consistently breed Golden Irishes to our own very high standards. I recommend looking at the images page to see some of the stunning photos we have collected over the years. We have been raising Golden Retriever Irish Setter Hybrids for more than 15 years and have insight that only comes through experience. Packer Pictured above as an adult and a puppy Packer is one of our favorite puppies from our first litter. He went to a family in Alaska who were kind enough keep in contact and send us pictures. Packer and his family came to visit us in on our new property. We have been on the Blue Mountains above Weston, Oregon going on 7 years. Life Span Did You Know? Although a mixed-breed dog can take on any combination of characteristics from either or both parents, a Golden Irish tends to be a friendly, social, affectionate, and energetic dog that loves spending time with their families. Although the Golden Irish is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable canine organizations. Golden Irish are great for single owners and for families. They are loyal to their favorite humans and also love to meet new people. Because they are friendly, playful, and love attention, they tend to get along well with children and tend to make great playmates for them. They also tend to get along well with other dogs, but can have a high prey drive. As long as they have been socialized well with smaller pets in the household, they tend to be fine. But, they may still chase them from time to time. Golden Irish also tend to be open and friendly with strangers as long as they are properly socialized and trained. A Golden Irish is a moderately adaptable dog breed. Their high energy and urge to chase makes them a better fit for larger homes with fenced-in yards where they can run. But, as long as you dedicate plenty of time every day to giving them the exercise and mental stimulation they need, they can adapt to living in an apartment or a home without a yard. They tend to do well in most climates. As with any dog breed, they are sensitive to heat. They do relatively well in the cold. But, depending on how harsh the winter is, you may need some winter dog products to help protect their paws and keep them warm while out on walks. Because they thrive on attention, they should not be left alone for long periods of time. Are mixed-breed dogs healthier than purebred dogs? Just as mixed-breed dogs can take any combination of traits from their parents, the same is true for health conditions common to the parent breeds. They could inherit a mix, all from one, all from both, or none. They can also be prone to developing allergies. As a barrel-chested breed, they are also at risk for bloat. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues on to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both of the parent breeds. You can also ask about any available health clearances or test results. The Golden Irish is a highly intelligent dog breed. They are eager to please and pick up on things quickly. But, they can become bored easily and may inherit a little bit of an independent streak from their Irish Setter parent. In general, these dogs are a good fit for owners of any experience level. If you find yourself with an independently-minded Golden Irish or their energetic personality offers a challenge, you can always enroll in puppy training classes to help you manage it. Puppy training classes tend to be a good idea regardless of whether you actually need them. Not only do they strengthen the bond you have with your puppy, but they also often offer opportunities to socialize a puppy. Plus, your Golden Irish will love the chance to make new friends. A Golden Irish tends to have a long, silky coat that sheds moderately year-round. Bathing is on an as-needed basis. Ideal dental care for dogs starts with brushing teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day. This can help prevent painful dental diseases, like gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss, later in life. Vet-approved dental hygiene chews and a dental care diet formulated for your dog can help supplement your efforts. The Golden Irish is a high-energy dog breed that requires a lot of daily activity to be happy and healthy. Daily walks plus some playtime and time to run are usually enough for this dog. But, they will also likely be up for more activity if you are. These dogs also tend to be versatile and athletic. So, once puppies finish growing , you can try a bunch of different activities to see what you and your dog like best. They tend to love trips to the dog park. Swimming, running, playing frisbee or fetch, hiking, training for dog sports, and more can all be great activities to try once your Golden Irish has finished growing and developing. A fully-grown Golden Irish usually stands inches tall and weighs pounds. A Golden Irish generally lives for years. Golden Irish Puppies for Sale.

He currently lives with three kids the youngest of which is .He also can not go to a home with cats. His ideal home would have someone who is home most of the day, although he can be left for several hours and do just fine. Titus gets spurts of silly playfulness and enjoys playing with toys, especially bones and toys that make noise. He has a couple of habits his foster family would like you to know about. He likes to sleep on couches and dog beds. He loves going outside but, due to arthritis, he prefers not to go for walks. Also, he likes to carry his food bowl around room to room when he's eating…you can always find him by following the trail of spilled food. He'd do best if his bowl is stabilized so he can't move it. And speaking of food, Titus came to the rescue extremely overweight. His previous owner, who had him for about five months, worked very hard with him and helped him lose ten pounds. He has lost an additional 13 pounds while with his foster family. He is also a little picky with the food he will eat. Through trial and error, we've discovered some that make his 'favorite' list. Recent medical records state that Titus has arthritis, and he recently started taking medication. The medication is definitely helping him. He can do some stairs like when going outside, but he currently lives in a two story house and will not go up an entire flight of stairs. He also has some lipomas, likely due to his old age. If you think you'd like to meet Titus to see if he'd be a good fit, you can check him out on the KAR's website. His foster parents are BValade. Please complete our online application form if you are interested in adopting Titus. A volunteer will contact you as soon as possible.

There are, however, some things you can do to reduce the problem to a significant level. Follow the given tips to make sure that you are able to help your pug breathe better while they are sleeping. Move Him Moving your pug is the simplest way to stop them from snoring. However, this is a very temporary solution. Moving will make your pug stop snoring for a short while, but it will take them only a few minutes to start snoring again. As mentioned above, if a pug is sleeping on his back, the snoring volume will be maximum. Give Them a Sleeping Pillow Most of the time, when pugs are asleep, their airways get blocked due to the angle that their face is at. Elevating their head to a height of about four inches from their entire body will free their airways by moving the tongue and jaw forward. You will see that pugs naturally like to sleep with their head lifted as well. Most time, pugs sleep with their paws tucked under their heads. While this much elevation does not help them much, it does give you a clue to what they require. While you can prop them against a pillow as they are falling asleep, there is no guarantee that they will sleep the same way throughout the night. This way, if their head falls off the pillow, they can rest it on the side. Get Them a Small and Round Bed Most people would want their pugs to sleep in luxury and want them to have as much sleeping space as they want. However, giving them a round bed is the luxury that they need. If the pugs curl up, the pressure from their esophagus is significantly reduced. Therefore, they have more room to breathe in and out. Let Air Circulation Not be a Problem There is no doubt that stuffy rooms make breathing difficult for just about anyone. Make sure that some cross-ventilation is possible in the room. This will allow your pug to have access to fresh air as they sleep. Therefore, make sure that you have a fan or a humidifier running in your room. This will allow your pooch to sleep comfortably and snore less. When your pug intakes smoke, the tobacco-induced air damages their nose and throat membranes. The chances of your dog producing more phlegm in their throat increase multifold. Another more subtle effect of second-hand smoking should be noticeable. If you smoke inside, the room is going to fill with smoke, and that will suffocate your dog. It would help if you never smoked inside, especially in the presence of your pug. Keep Their Environment Clean There are two things you need to take care of in this respect. Along with that, make sure that the sir around them is always clean. This is a crucial step to prevent allergies. Pugs are most likely to pick allergies from pollen or other air-borne irritants. They will then sit or sleep in their bed, covering the linen with pollutants. Therefore, cleaning the bed linen regularly will reduce their chances of catching allergies. Check for Nasal or Oral Infections Any nasal or oral infection can increase snoring. This is because when the mouth or nose are irritated, it is more likely that your pug cannot breathe easily. The higher the breathing problem, the more the snoring. Infections can cause blockages within the air-tracts of your pooch. Therefore, whatever little air they are taking in from their nostrils will not reach their lungs adequately. This will cause them to gasp for more air through snoring. Keep a Check on Their Airway Passages Sometimes you might see that your pug might snore even when he is awake. These blockages might not allow air to let in properly, so the pug has to struggle to get some air in. There is another sign of airway blockage that you should look for. If you notice that your pug has stopped snoring out of nowhere, do not rejoice. That is also something to be worried about. It is possible that your pug is not snoring because he cannot breathe through this nose at all. Objects such as grass in the nose can cause significant respiratory issues ad, even tumors. Many issues, such as abscesses and decay, can make the airflow get blocked. Consult a Vet If you can see other signs of allergies, make sure that you rush to a vet. Even if you do not suspect allergies but the snoring is getting louder, make sure that you get your pooch tested. Regular visits to the vet will help you catch any major respiratory issues before they cause too many problems to your pug. Getting them frequently is necessary is because pugs can catch allergies from just about anything, and they are tough to see. If your pug is overweight, all the extra weight will add additional pressure on the soft palate and pharynx. Therefore, your dog will have a more challenging time breathing than the other pugs around him. You must make sure that your puppy has a healthy lifestyle that does not pressure any of his respiratory organs. You can set your pug on a healthy and acceptable diet to reduce weight. Keep Them Moving Following a healthy lifestyle has many benefits for your pooch. Not only will take keep the pug in shape, but it will also better their breathing mechanisms. Only a minute walk is enough to keep your pug active. Related: Are Pugs Hyper? Wrapping Up There is no doubt that pug snoring can be annoying at times. However, there is only a limit to which that snoring can be adorable. Snoring is an inevitable problem with the way pugs are bred, and there is nothing that can be done to do away with it completely. However, there are a few things you can do to ease the volume. Solving snoring issues in pugs is essentially solving the breathing issues they have while sleeping. Pug Sleeping Habits Overview Just about any Pug owner will agree that this breed gets a bit of a bad rep in regard to sleep. The Pug is sometimes thought of as a lazy breed; a dog that takes over your favorite chair and sleeps his life away, snoring as if he doesn't have a care in the world. While it may be true that a Pug does tend to snore - and make a few other interesting noises - he does not sleep more than any other breed and he is not lazy at all. In fact, Pugs are super animated, very personable and eager canines that often are curious, emotional and expressive. They thrive on attention and tend to mimic their owner's mood and vibes. If you sleep a lot, your Pug is not going to pace around the room; he'll be right by your side. And if you're active, he'll want to be right there as well; in fact many Pugs need to have limitations set because they'll push themselves to far and can have overheating and breathing issues. One element that may make it seem as if a Pug sleeps a lot is that he is so obvious when he does it. Other dogs may retreat quietly away and an hour later, an owner may wonder 'where's my dog? In this section we are going to cover: How much Pug puppies should sleep Normal amounts of sleep for adults and seniors Reasons why a Pug may have trouble sleeping Things that may cause a Pug to sleep too much Common questions about Pug sleeping habits Emma, 20 months old, photo courtesy of Helen Gastaldo How Much Sleep is Normal for Pugs Newborns - Newborn Pug puppies - from 1 day old to 3 weeks - sleep just about all of the time, up to 22 hours per day. They will mainly only be awake to eat; after that's it's right back to bed, warm and safe next to the dam and littermates. The age of 3 weeks old is a huge turning point; at this time both hearing and vision are working well and with this comes a new found curiosity. A heightened interest in exploring his little world and for playing with siblings will cause the pup to stay awake a bit longer now. From 3 weeks to 8 weeks, a puppy will sleep anywhere from 20 to 21 hours per day. Puppies - Owners of new puppies often want to know how much Pug puppies sleep because they worry about the pup being overtired and perhaps sleeping too much and missing out on things. The first couple of months - age 2 months to 5 months - a Pug puppy will sleep from 18 to 20 hours per day. This includes both nighttime sleep and naps taken all throughout the day. This is a really funny stage, because often a Pug puppy will be so interested in his world that he struggles to stay awake. It's not uncommon for a Pug to zonk out in the middle of playing or even eating, resting his head on the rim of the bowl because he just couldn't make it to his bed. Each month that the Pug matures, he will sleep a bit less and stay awake for longer periods. By 6 months old, many Pugs are on the sleeping schedule of adults. Adults - Adult Pug dogs sleep roughly 14 per day. There are some reasons for sleeping less or more discussed ahead. This may seem like a lot - especially when compared to how much we get- however most of this will be done at night. When you subtract 8 or 9 hours of nighttime snoozing from the average of 14, this leaves 5 to 6 hours of on-and-off again naps. The amount of naps will depend on how much the Pug sleeps at night and most will shadow what their owners do. It's very common for this breed to start getting tuckered out when lights are dimmed and their humans are relaxing before bed. It's typical for a Pug to drift off about an hour before his human family; he'll try to hang on but will conk out as the house quiets down and everyone is relaxing. Then, most will pop right awake as soon as the alarm goes off of if they sense that their human has awoken. It's rare for a Pug to stay sleeping in the morning while everyone starts their day. Since canines - like us- need a good amount of deep REM sleep, if they do follow their owner's sleep schedule of 8 hours a night, this leaves a good 6 or so hours that will be napped away during the day. And if an owner is only sneaking in 6 or 7 hours with the Pug following suit, this makes for a lot more napping of up to 7 or 8 hours during the day. So, how much you actually see your Pug snoozing will depend a lot of your own schedule and whether or not you are home with your dog or are away at work or school. Seniors - As a dog ages, there are many changes… decreased metabolism, a slowing down that reduces activity, etc. These are gradual changes, so you may not notice that your Pug sleeps an extra 20 minutes or so; but as the years pass, this adds up to falling asleep an hour earlier than usual and it is then that it really becomes apparent. When a Pug Has Trouble Sleeping With puppies, it can take a while for puppies to accept their schedule; many may seem downright nocturnal, making you wonder if somehow an owl was crossed in the Pug's bloodline. It takes a couple of months for a pup to understand the cues of a day winding down and feeling isolated can cause a puppy to stay awake whining or barking at night. For those of any age, this breed will show appreciation for many of the care elements you provide and often won't be shy at all to announce when things are not right. Here are the top reasons why a Pug may not be sleeping as good as usual: 1: Quality of the bed - Choosing the right bed for your Pug is important for this breed that tends to have hips and back issues. Keep in mind that beds do not last forever; after 4 years or so, cushions can lose buoyancy and won't be as supportive as they once were. Also, a puppy may be outgrowing his smaller bed and seniors may a thicker mattress to better support aching joints. This has a base of 2-inch medical-grade memory foam, water-proof inner and outer fabric, and a cover that is resistant to mold and dust mites and washable. Pugs need a good place to rest but still like to be close to the 'action' so that - if they happen to prefer it, they can join in. While it is a good idea to give your Pug his own space - especially if you want him to get used to that area for when home alone - it should in a quiet corner of an familiar room that is used by the family such as the living room or den. Some owners may move a Pug's sleeping area further away if the dog snores loudly or is otherwise causing a disruption; however, a compromise should be made so that a Pug doesn't feel quarantined. Additionally, any chronic snoring noises should be evaluate by the vet for possible stenotic nares, elongated palate and other issues common to brachycephalic breeds. Drafts, which can cause interrupted sleep, are common near windows and doors, but can also be found hear exterior walls. Keep in mind that any cold spots may only be near the floor, so you may want to get down to your Pug's level to access things. With sleep apnea, a dog will stop breathing for 10 to 20 seconds, repeatedly throughout the night. While some stay asleep, many will gasp and wake up. This can cause sleep deprivation, which often manifests as troubled, moody behavior the next day. Reasons a Pug May Sleep Too Much Dogs will vary the amount of time that they sleep by an hour or so, just like humans. However, whenever there is a marked increase in how much a Pug is sleeping this is reason to take note. Possible reasons include: Mimicking- As we touched on a bit earlier, this breed is notorious for copying his owner. Even if you don't sleep much, if you spend a lot of time watching TV or zoning out with video games, etc. After all, very few Pugs will run around and stay super active if the owner is plopped on the sofa, aside from young puppies that may have high energy levels. Lack of Stimulation - If a dog has nothing better to do, he'll often do one of two things: bark or sleep. This breed often chooses the later and you really can't blame him. Dogs need interaction, challenges, sights to see and scents to smell! It's best for a Pug to have a fun session of command training after dinner, be taken for a late evening walk and have some interactional playtime as opposed to just lazing around. A dog's world is as small or as large as you allow it to be. If a Pug is kept at home without much going on, he's going to sleep more. If he's taken to different places, goes on new walking routes, is challenged by learning new commands, etc. Illness or Injury - Any time that a dog suddenly sleeps much more than normal, this is a red flag that there may be a medical condition. For puppies that appear to be suddenly weak and dizzy, this is a possible sign of hypoglycemia, most often seen in those 2 to 5 months old. With adults, any condition that causes the body to fight off disease or caused discomfort will make a dog sleep more. If you notice that your Pug is sleeping much more than usual, you cannot attribute it to any of the issues mentioned above and it lasts for longer than 3 days, this is your signal that it's time for a vet visit, even if there are no other symptoms. I'd swear my Pug does dream, he moves around and even seems to mumble. His eyes move around under his lids too when he's asleep. A: Yes, absolutely. Studies have proven that dogs do dream and quite often. They have eye twitching, lip movements and even vocalizations that you wrote about that point to REM sleep. REM sleep is the phase of deep sleep when dreams occur. It is believed that dogs and other animals can have complex dreams full of memories of actual events. So that's pretty cool; our Pugs are most likely having dreams about us. Q: Should my Pug sleep in my bed? Aside from hogging the mattress is there anything wrong with it? Would it be interpreted as spoiling? A: While you'll want to hold off until your Pug is housebroken, there's nothing inherently wrong with a Pug sleeping in his owner's bed. There are some cons, however. Due to heavy shedding you'll have to be prepared for how much fur may end up on your sheets, blankets and pillows. Also, know that once your Pug is allowed to sleep in your bed, that spot is claimed. Also, if an owner is currently single, some thought should go into the future when someone else may want the other side of the bed. Q: Is it okay for Pugs to sleep on their backs? My Pug will fall asleep, belly up, and his paws up in the air. It's pretty comical but I'm wondering if this can cause breathing problems or anything else? A: While this is not the 'normal' canine way of lying down to sleep, a small percentage of dogs do sleep this way. If your Pug finds that sleeping on his back is the optimal position for him and he must if he's doing it , this might actually be his way of breathing better at night. When curled up, this constricts the neck and makes breathing a bit more difficult. But if a Pug naturally lies on his back, neck extended back, this will open up the windpipe and may offer him better airflow though the nasal passages. Q: Is it normal for a Pug to sleep with his mouth open? My Pug does this and kind of drools while he's sleeping. A: Being a brachycephalic breed, Pugs are prone to stenotic nares, which essentially means narrowed nostrils. This can make it hard for a Pug to breathe correctly out of his nose. Excessive drooling while sleeping is a possible sign of sleep apnea. And snoring is a sign as well. But, with that said, if your Pug seems fine otherwise and the drooling is not too bad, it's nothing to be concerned with. Did you find this article helpful?

Medications Obesity Note: All dogs snore occasionally, however, brachycephalic dog breeds such as the Pug are prone to snoring more loudly and more often. Sleeping Positions Another common issue that can cause loud snoring is the position your Pug sleeps in. Sleeping on the back makes it harder for air to flow freely through their airways. It also causes their flesh on the back of their throat to relax and block the airway. If Fido is snoring too loud, you can try switching up their sleeping position to help the airflow more smoothly. Check out these Pug dog beds that may help both you and your dog get better sleep at night. Obstructions An obstruction in their nasal passage can occur from them sniffing objects while playing outside or inside. If something gets stuck in their nose or throat such as stones, grass, leaves, sticks, or small toys, and etc. Those small objects can create nasal obstructions that can lead to snoring. If the loud snoring is due to an obstruction, the snoring will usually stop when the obstruction is cleared. Genetics Due to their brachycephalic nature, these dogs are more prone to snoring due to genetic predispositions. Their short snout and shallow faces are a part of their genetic disposition which makes them prone to snoring and other breathing problems. Most dogs with allergies usually develop skin problems or excessive sneezing and coughing. However, if your dog is already having breathing issues, the allergies can make breathing more difficult at night. This alone will help your pooch and you sleep more soundly at night. Just make sure that you have a nice comfortable dog bed to provide them great support at night. As Mindy my black Pug dog got older, she started snoring. Something like a cold can make it more difficult for your pooch to breath during the night, which in turn makes the dog snore while sleeping. As soon as the cold goes away, Fido should go back to their normal sleeping routine. Medications Medications such as; antihistamines or muscle relaxers can make your Pug snore louder than usual. Obesity Just like in humans, being overweight or out of shape can cause your Pug to snore. Limit their food intake or change up their feeding schedule. You can even start exercising them more to help them lose weight. Start off by taking them on a minute walk in the early morning or evening. The most important thing to remember is to start out slow! Do All Pugs Snore? Yes, this brachycephalic dog has a short skull with a short muzzle, which makes it hard for them to get sufficient air to breathe at night or in the heat. All dog breeds can snore, but Pugs and other flat faced breeds are well known for this noisy sleep behavior! In many cases, the causes of snoring can be quite easily treated. For instance, allergies or obstructions can cause dogs to snore. So, you can make sure the air in your house is clean, and provide a pillow for your Pug to sleep on. But, sometimes, Pug snoring is linked to their face shape. Pug Snoring Problem Pugs are a popular breed, well known for their flat, wrinkled faces. And, one of the many problems associated with this is snoring, or other similar sleep disturbance issues. In fact, this issue is so common that there have been several studies and owner surveys on Pug snoring. These studies consistently found that over 50 percent of Pug owners experience or witness these problems. Brachycephalic dogs have shortened facial bones caused by generations of breeding short-nosed dogs together. It may hang down their throat and obstruct their airways, causing trouble breathing and noisy snoring. In fact, this trait is something breeders have worked hard to create over the past few decades, because flat faced dogs became a popular trend. Looking at older pictures of Pugs, you will see that they had much longer snouts than their modern counterparts. The problems associated with Pug face shapes can cause trouble breathing, trouble regulating their heat, eye and dental problems, and more, as well as just noisy snoring. Whilst it is common for Pugs to snore and have trouble breathing, it should be questioned whether this popular appearance is worth the associated issues. Some owners have success with different shaped beds, providing a way for their Pug to sleep with their head elevated. Others use air purifiers, or help their Pug lose weight if they are overweight. However, since this is usually a problem caused by their face shape, the above solutions may not work. For many owners, the best fix is surgery. But, owners must be fully aware of the risks of surgery, so speak to your veterinarian if your Pug is struggling to breathe whilst sleeping, and discuss this as an option. If you currently do not own a Pug, but are preparing for this common issue, you can reduce the likelihood of snoring by choosing a Pug with a longer muzzle and open nostrils. Though many Pug owners will say that snoring is normal, it is still not comfortable or necessarily pleasant for your dog. But, since it is a conformational problem, there is no simple fix. In most cases, Pugs will not be able to breathe easily without surgery. You can try the other suggestions above, and may see some improvement. Invest in a pillow to see if an elevated sleeping position helps your Pug, or speak to your veterinarian about taking further action. Or, choose a different small breed with a healthier face shape. A Summary Unfortunately, most Pugs snore so loudly because of their face shape. And, this is not a simple problem to fix. Even with surgery, some owners still observe breathing trouble whilst their dog is sleeping. And, some owners find success with tools like a round bed, or a pillow for sleeping. Readers Also Liked. This mostly occurs when there is an obstruction in the passageways preventing air movement. Brachycephalic dog breeds struggle to breathe normally because of their flat faces and small nostrils. And the first step to putting a stop to this is by understanding what causes them to snore so loudly. Here are the leading causes: 1. When your pug sleeps on their back, the flesh on the back of their throat blocks airways, preventing air from moving freely. If this is the reason your pug is snoring, it should end once the obstruction is removed. Genetics As aforementioned, pugs are brachycephalic and are prone to genetic tendencies. French bulldogs, pugs, and Boston terriers are among other dogs prone to brachycephalic issues. This causes breathing problems that cause animals to snore more than other dogs. Allergies If your pug is already having a snoring problem, allergies can worsen their snoring. There is so much stuff that pugs can be allergic to, including dust, pollen, dirt, or even passive smoke. The treatment will reduce the snoring issues and allow your pug to have a night of quality sleep. Medication Side Effects Just like you, some drugs can cause your pug to snore. If your pug is on muscle relaxers, pain killers, and health problems like antihistamines, they might snore louder than usual. This is simply because the cold makes breathing more difficult hence the louder snoring. All this should stop immediately when the cold ends. Obesity As a pug owner, you ought to know that they love to eat and hate exercising in equal measures. So, if your dog has been adding weight lately, this may explain the snoring. Take your pug for 2- 30 minutes walks in the morning to avoid the sun and preserve their energy. Note that obesity not only causes snoring but also leads to other serious problems. Propping them on a pillow, with their head raised at least four inches from the rest of their body, can control the snoring. Here is a soft pillow from amazon that your pug will love 2. Keeping a fan helps increase air moisture and helps them breathe easily. A humidifier view on Amazon that will put moisture into the air might be a good choice to help reduce snoring. Make an effort to smoke outside. If your pug is overweight, consider increasing their activities and put them on a diet. Keep their Beddings Clean If your pug is prone to allergies, vacuum their beddings every two days and a full machine after every two weeks. This will eliminate any grains or other allergens that they may bring from their outdoor activities. Have their Teeth Checked Sometimes dental problems can lead to snoring problems. They include. Talk your pug to the vet. Sleep in a different room. What other dog breeds snore loudly? How can you stop a Pug snoring? When do you need to take them in for a vet visit? Consider this your guide to the nightly nose opera of your Pug. Is it normal for Pugs to snore? Here are a few symptoms to watch out for: Sudden snoring out of nowhere Snoring that abruptly or drastically increases in intensity Wheezing or choking Problems breathing while both awake and asleep Why do Pugs snore so much? Pugs are a brachycephalic breed. This means that they have short, broad skulls with smaller airways compared to other dogs. Other causes of snoring can vary. For example, Pugs tend to be on the chunkier side, and obesity can put pressure on the sinuses and cause wheezing noises as oxygen is pushed around the compressed space. Sleeping on the back can also worsen snoring since it allows the throat muscles to relax and unintentionally block the airway. Other reasons for Pug snoring can range from diet and medication to the weird stuff that they sniffed during your nightly walk. Since their nasal passages are so small, even a single blade of grass can cause an obstruction! Additionally, snoring can be a symptom of other conditions like stenotic nares pinched nostrils and hypoplastic trachea growth abnormalities in the windpipe. If you notice any other medical issues cropping up at the same time as the snoring, they might have a single underlying cause, and it might be time to take your pup to the vet. Why has my Pug suddenly started snoring? Sudden snoring can be benign. For example, your Pug might just be getting older, or they might have discovered that they love sleeping on their back in their soft new doggy bed. Sudden snoring can also be a sign of something wrong. It could be an obstruction in their airway, a reaction to a new environmental allergen, a symptom of a genetic respiratory disorder, or even a side effect of unintentional weight gain! How do I stop my Pug snoring? There are several things to try to stop a Pug snoring. Buy a round dog bed. This encourages dogs to curl up for sleep, which can take pressure off their esophagus and allow oxygen to move more freely through their airways. Give them pillows and blankets. Keep them cool. Consider putting an oscillating fan in the room with their bed or kennel. Keep them active. Clean their face. Make a habit of wiping down their face folds and wrinkles. It can help to prevent bacterial infections while also giving you a chance to surreptitiously check for nose or mouth obstructions. Another option is nose or soft palate surgery. Instead, think about your individual Pug and their health, habits, lifestyle, and sleeping patterns, and make decisions from there. Good luck!

free female boxer puppies - Brindle 2. She needs plenty of exercise and lots of play! Given that both the Boxer and the Pitbull were bred for use as working dogs, these breeds are very energetic, so your Boxer Pitbull Mix requires a lot of exercise. This is what a well-exercised Boxer Pitbull Mix should look like: The Boxer Pitbull Mix is very playful and will need lots of toys at home. Careful, though! With her strong jaw and love of chewing, this dogs can destroy a chew toy within minutes. When you take her out, take a ball or a Frisbee to play fetch. She will love it! You should take her out for a brisk one-hour walktwice a day. If you are running, twenty minutes to half an hour should be enough. If your dog tires you will notice her slowing or beginning to pant excessively you should stop for a five-minute break and hydrate her. I recommend taking out a collapsible doggie bowl in which you can give her water. A note on exercising your Pitbull Boxer Mix puppy This advice on exercise applies to the adult dog only, as when large-breed puppies do too much running and ball-chasing this can cause long-term injuries. With your Pitbull Boxer Mix puppy, it is best to do lots of short walks and indoor play until she matures, at about 1 year — 16 months. Watch this 11 week old Pitbull Boxer Mix. She is curious, playful, active, and absolutely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Whatever the weather — not with this dog! In rainy weather, she will need a doggie coat to keep her warm. During summer months, it is best to take her out in the early morning or the evening when the sun is less intense. She may still need sunscreen, but make sure you purchase one without zinc oxide, as it is toxic for dogs. The Pitbull is also a very affectionate dog when well-socialized, who will lick you all over if you give her an inch. She was in fact bred for both work and companionship , and due to her gentle nature, is beginning to be used more and more as a therapy dog. Both Boxer and Pitbull are also great with children , which makes them excellent family dogs. The Boxer is very patient and protective, while the Pitbull is solid, a people-pleaser and highly trainable. So mix them together and what have you got? A companionable, affectionate dog who fits in perfectly with a family, wants a lot of attention and gives in return. It is, of course, worth noting that as puppies they are going to be more hyper, and so their contact with children must be supervised. Also, your dog must be well-exercised to be around children, as if not she will be incredibly excitable and could knock over a small child. Her guard dog instinct is strong, which can be useful if there is an intruder or attacker. These are courageous dogs who used to risk their lives baiting bulls, so have no doubt that she will defend you and yours if necessary. If this instinct gets out of hand, however, it can become a problem. You must make sure that you socialize your Boxer Pitbull Mix from a young age with as many people as you can. Invite friends and neighbors to your home and provide her with a positive association by having the person give her a treat when they arrive. As long as you train her well and stay consistent, this dog will be the friendliest dog around. She might be too hands-on for older pets Providing they are both socialized properly, both breeds can get on well with other animals, particularly Boxers. As for play style, Pitbulls can be rough and Boxers like to use their front paws when playing much like a boxer… oh, that makes sense! People are also beginning to look past the negative stigma around Pitbulls and realize their high intelligence and trainability, too. Director of Operations at Universal K9 claims that out of the hundreds of dogs he has trained for police work, the Pitbull, Kiah, is one of the top three he has ever placed. These dogs can be stubborn, though, meaning that you need to be firm and consistent with them. As long as you are in charge, your Boxer Pitbull Mix should pick up basic commands quickly. Make sure you do enough repetition and provide rewards and lots of praise. As puppies, they are boisterous and energetic little characters. You will need to be assertive in order to get their focus. She is a moderate shedder Though these dogs have a short coat, they are moderate shedders and will require a good grooming session once a week. They will probably lose more fur in the Spring, from April through May, so it may be a good idea to brush her twice a week during these periods. She will also need her ears checked monthly, either at the vet or with a reputable groomer. She is usually healthy but has some potential health concerns The Pitbull Boxer Mix is generally a healthy breed, as both pure breeds are as long as she gets sufficient exercise, of course and as I mentioned in the intro it can live for up to 13 years. Having said that, it is always worth being informed on any potential health issues this breed can develop, so here are the main ones your dog could be prone to: Cancer While the majority of Boxers are healthy , they are at risk of an aggressive form of cancer called hemangiosarcoma , which occurs in the blood vessel cells. It can be difficult to detect, but signs can include weakness, a distended abdomen, difficulty breathing and weight loss. If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, talk to your veterinarian as soon as possible, as this cancer can spread rapidly. Hip dysplasia This condition consists of a malformation of the hip joint, where it is unstable or loose in the socket. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals shows that this condition occurs in both breeds , although Pitbulls are more susceptible. Severe cases can lead to arthritic joints and lameness. Signs can include walking or running with an altered gait and reluctance to fully extend their rear legs or jump. Weight control helps enormously with this condition; keep her slim, as any excess weight will put stress on her joints. Heart disease The Boxer is prone to a heart problem called aortic stenosis , which in most cases of the disease the dog is born with. This disease causes narrowing of the aortic valve, which puts pressure on the heart. Symptoms can include rapid breathing or difficulty breathing, sudden loss of consciousness, and congestive heart failure. If your vet picks up a heart murmur, the diagnosis can be confirmed with an X-ray and a cardiac ultrasound. Allergies Pitbulls can have various allergies , so your Pitbull Boxer Mix may be susceptible. They can be treated with antihistamines, and in the case of skin irritation, you should use shampoos specifically designed for sensitive skin. Conclusion Are you a family with children without any older pets? Are you ready to dedicate your days to plenty of exercise and play with your new lively companion? Can you give her the consistent training she needs? If the answer is yes to all of the above, you are more than ready to own a Pitbull Boxer Mix, and she will be more than happy to have you. Have you got a Pitbull Boxer Mix and a story to share? Comment below! About Alexandra Animalso I was raised to be a dog person. My first Shepherd grew up as I did and wanted to be where I was at all times. I got my second dog as a 16th birthday present, and her loyalty for me was just as strong as my first. I hope that my contribution to Animalso will help others find dogs who give them that same unconditional love. Had her posted on the local shelter site but no takers. We have a year-old Chihuahua and 8-year-old Yorkie so keeping the new dog inside is not possible. For a temporary measure we put a cardboard box with lots of pillows and blankets warmed in the dryer on the porch swing. It has since warmed up into the range. She appears to be happy running around outside and sleeping on the porch swing near the now chewed up box. We have ordered a dog house for her and are having her spayed tomorrow. We are a late middle-aged couple but I hope to be able to walk with her at least once a day. I hope you can wish us well for rescuing her. Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Click here for more information on this characteristic Bullboxer Pit Highlights The Bullboxer Pit is a mixed breed dog. Bullboxer Pits may tend to overeat. Owners must be diligent about monitoring diet. Bullboxer Pits have often been used as farm or guard dogs, due mostly to their loyal nature and powerful strength. The most regularly seen coat colors are brown, tan, yellow, and black. Although their coats are easy to maintain, Bullboxer Pits do shed all year long. Brushing can help. Due to their exercise requirements, physical strength, and need for training, this breed might not be best for novice dog owners. Boxers came on the scene in Germany back in the s; the dogs were often used to transport supplies and ferry messages to troops during the first two World Wars. The American Pit Bull Terrier was first employed in blood sports and used in baiting bears and bulls. The first ever Bullboxer Pits can be traced back to a German dog breed called the Bullenbeisser, which is now extinct. Due to the care and attention Bullboxer Pits require from an owner, many of them can end up in shelters. Bullboxer Pit Size The Bullboxer Pit is often described as a medium-sized dog, although they are also stockier and sturdier than many other middle-sized canines. Most weigh in at 50 to 80 pounds and range in height from 16 to 20 inches. Female Bullboxer Pits can often be a little smaller than their male counterparts. Bullboxer Pit Personality Bullboxer Pits have often been used as farm or guard dogs, due mostly to their loyal nature and powerful strength. These dogs can be especially devoted to their families, and often become very protective of any children in the household. Very upbeat walks—or even jogs—are required, so the owner must also be able to maintain a healthy and regular exercise routine. Around two hours of exercise per day is required—adding agility training or even swimming to the daily sessions can help vary things up. Apartment dwellers may find that many buildings do not permit Bullboxer Pits to live with them. Some of the more common health problems Bullboxer Pits suffer from include: Obesity due to overeating. Pitoxer Description The Bullboxer Pit is not a purebred dog. 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 any of the breeds in the hybrid. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. He's 11 months old soon to be 1 and enjoys chew toys, meat sticks, long walks on the beach literally and generally giving everyone love. He was a bit shy at first, but once he got to know me he came around. He has a high dislike for other dogs from being attacked at a young age, but he is a good dog all around. He is a energetic little guy who is constantly pestering his mom to play with him. He loves his treats and is starting to learn basic commands very quickly. When the day is over and it's time to call it a night he's the first one to cuddle up with you and is off to dreaming most likely of chasing his mom around the yard within minutes. He has been a great addition to the family, and unlike his parents when they were his age he has been great at not chewing on things other than his chew toys. I've only lost one hat to his playfull chewing, which is considerably better than countless shoes, cords, hats etc that his parents had destroyed by the time they were 4 months old. I look forward to watching him grow up and turn into what I'm sure will be the most popular and handsome dog on the block. She is a great dog. She is very loving and has more Pit Bull characteristics than Boxer. She has the Boxer lips and lower jaw that sticks out a little further than the upper. He is very fast, hence his name. Rocket is a fast learner. He learned many tricks including high five, shake, sit and lie down at only 4 months old. Rocket loves to learn! He loves Meaty Bones. He is a loving dog like a Boxer but also strong and muscular like an American Pit Bull. I rescued Rocket from people who were feeding him raw meat and kicking him just when he was about a month old. He is the best dog I have ever had. His mother was a Pit Bull and his father a Boxer. He's very sweet and sleeps a lot. He's a climber! He's also very smart. He already knows sit, stay, lie down, come here, his name, go potty, as well as a variety of other words that indicate where to go crate, bedroom, outside. He is so gentle that he can attack a balloon playfully for 35 minutes before popping it.Everyone loves him and he's changing everyone's attitudes about Pit Bull type dogs or Pit Bull mixes.

Their enhanced muzzle length gives them a superior sense of smell compared to regular Pugs, making them natural explorers. They love sniffing around the house, the yard, and while out on walks. One of the most prevalent issues is Hip Dysplasia , a condition that affects many breeds but can be particularly challenging for a heavy dog like the Retro Pug. Another concern is their susceptibility to separation anxiety. This emotional distress can occur when the dog is left alone for extended periods. It's not uncommon for Retro Pugs to develop destructive behaviors or excessive barking when feeling anxious. Despite these concerns, the Retro Pug's health issues are less severe compared to their Pug relatives. Their elongated muzzle makes them less prone to breathing issues, a common problem in brachycephalic breeds. Exercise Needs Retro Pugs are energetic dogs that require regular exercise. Short walks, games of fetch, and even agility training are great ways to keep them active. Remember, an older dog may need less strenuous exercise. Diet Their diet should be high in protein and low in fats and sugars. Be cautious about overfeeding as these dogs can quickly gain weight, contributing to Hip Dysplasia. Grooming Retro Pugs have a short, dense coat that requires minimal grooming. Regular brushing can help keep their coat clean and reduce shedding. Socialization Socializing your Retro Pug is vital.

Puppies need more frequent meals, but portion control is essential to avoid overfeeding. A diet rich in high-quality protein is vital for their growth and development. Introduce them to different sounds, sights, and experiences. This helps in building their confidence, and it ensures they grow into a well-rounded and well-behaved dog. Gentle walks and light play sessions can keep them physically active without straining them. Diet Changes Older Retro Pugs may have different dietary needs. Depending on their health status, they might require a diet low in calories but high in fiber and quality protein. Always consult with your vet to determine the best diet for your aging Retro Pug.

Some breeds, ones that never want to go for a run or fetch a ball, have this trait because they are physically unable to keep up with their canine cousins. One of the traits that sedentary pups have in common is often a flat face. History and Original Purpose The original Pug was a small dog with a substantial muzzle. But they have been selectively bred over the last century to achieve the flat-faced look they have now. Show guidelines for the breed suggest a flatter face being desirable, and this has really got out of control. The Jack Russell was designed for fitness and exercise, as expert ratters. They became family pets in more recent years due to their loving and loyal personalities, but have always been first and foremost a working farm dog. Retro Pug Appearance As a mixed breed, the appearance of the retro Pug can be quite unpredictable. Hybrid dogs can inherit any mixture of qualities from their parent breeds, which is part of the huge debate over mixed breeds vs pure breeds. You can read more about that debate here. Size The retro Pug will be a small mixed breed, as both of its parent breeds are similar sizes. Jack Russell Terriers will grow to between 10 and 15 inches tall. They will weigh between 13 and 17 pounds as a healthy adult. Pugs, on the other hand, are slightly smaller. They will grow between 9 and 12 inches tall, weighing 14 to 18 pounds as an adult. A mix of these two breeds will fall somewhere in the middle of these statistics. But, it is going to be a small breed. Face Shape Some retro Pugs will have flatter faces than others. This means, they can still suffer from the same health problems that brachycephaly causes. Not only does the mixed breed try to combat the short snout, it also tries to tackle the shallow eye sockets of brachycephalic dogs. Coat and Colors The best way to predict the color of your mixed breed is to take a look at its parents. Black and fawn are the main colors of the Pug breed. Whereas, the Jack Russell Terrier is mostly white, with black, brown, or tan markings. The amount of markings will vary from one Jack Russell to another. Pugs have a short, glossy coat. But Jack Russells have dense, double coats that are either smooth, broken, or rough. Take a look at the parents to predict what type of coat your Jack Russell Pug mix will inherit. Retro Pug Temperament This breed has a loving temperament. They are friendly with both children and adults, and generally fit in well in most homes. Their small size certainly helps! As well as being social, Pugs are also affectionate and loyal dogs that form strong bonds with their families. They are an intelligent breed that often responds well to training. They can also be quite brave and loud. Jack Russell Terriers are fearless, confident, and loyal dogs. They are active, but also often quite vocal! This breed has a lot of energy to burn each day. Not getting enough exercise can result in unwanted behaviors, such as destructive tendencies. Training and Exercising your Retro Pug Both parent breeds are intelligent dogs, so they are likely to enjoy training, and learn quickly. They will respond best to positive reinforcement training. The Jack Russell parent breed needs a lot of exercise. This is partly to reduce destructive tendencies that result from boredom. But, they also need it to keep healthy. Pugs also enjoy exercise, and need it to stay healthy. But, unfortunately, their facial structure makes it difficult. Brachycephalic breeds tend to overheat more easily than other breeds. Plus, their flat faces makes it harder for them to breathe normally, as their oxygen flow is restricted. This difficulty breathing also makes swimming quite a dangerous form of exercise. So, take care of your mix when exercising it. Some retro Pugs will have flatter faces than others. Special Care Many people believe that mixed breed dogs are healthier than purebred dogs, thanks to increased genetic diversity. However, mixed breeds can still be prone to the health conditions of their parent breeds. Responsible breeders will health test dogs they are planning to breed from to minimise the risk of passing these issues on. Pug Health The main health problem that Pugs suffer from is due to their facial structure. This breed is brachycephalic. Because of this they suffer from: Overheating. Owners looking for a constant companion Temperament: Loyal, loving, fun, daft, energetic The Retro Pug has been bred in an attempt to reproduce the positive traits of the Pug but without the negative health complaints that arise as a result of the snout and facial features of the Pug. As a result, the Retro does have a slightly longer life expectancy and tends to be healthier than the Pug. Otherwise, owners can expect the same fun-loving dog that requires a lot of attention and companionship. Dogs that are harder to train will require a bit more patience and practice. Proper exercise, nutrition, and hygiene also play an important role in the lifespan of your pet. More social dogs have a tendency to run up to strangers for pets and scratches, while less social dogs shy away and are more cautious, even potentially aggressive. This companion breed not only needs but craves attention and companionship from its humans, and this starts from puppyhood. If you will be going out during the day, whether to work or school, and you need your puppy to get used to being alone, you should start with short sessions when they are young and build up over time. This is also the best time to start training and socializing the Retro Pug. Training a young Retro Pug means teaching it what is considered acceptable behavior and what you believe is unacceptable. House training is one of the first steps, and the Retro Pug will usually take to this well but you will need to be consistent and use positive reinforcement. This means encouraging and rewarding positive behavior while ignoring negative and unwanted behavior. This means that it can be difficult to find a Retro Pug. It also means that it is unlikely that you would find Retro Pug puppies in shelters and rescues. This mixture means that they are intelligent dogs that get along with most people and animals. But it also means that they can be a little on the independent side. Are These Dogs Good for Families? They are quite robust for small dogs, so they get along with children as well as with adults. The Retro Pug has a similar disposition and it will usually get on well with all family members, as well as visitors and strangers. If your family goes out to work and school all day long, you might find that the Retro Pug exhibits signs of separation anxiety, including destructive and other unwanted behavior. It gets along with other dogs and because it is about the same size as cats, will usually get along with them, too. However, the Terrier in the Retro Pug can change this. Ensure your Retro Pug is well-socialized from a young age and, if you do want to integrate it into an existing group of animals, take introductions slowly and carefully. It can also get on with dogs and cats, although it may require more careful introductions than with a regular Pug. But, the Retro Pug needs companionship and might struggle with a family that is out of the house for long stretches. It also has some other requirements and traits that mean it might not be the best pet for all owners. This means that it will usually have a bigger appetite and it also means that you can provide more exercise to help shed the pounds and keep your Retro Pug in good shape. Expect to provide an hour of walks a day. The breed can also do well in agility and other canine sports classes, which can help provide mental and physical stimulation while building a bond between the two of you. This combination means that the Retro Pug is a little more challenging to train than the standard Pug. You will need to be very consistent with your training techniques and you should use positive reinforcement training techniques. Sign up for puppy classes as soon as possible. These not only teach some of the basic commands that you will need, but they also teach you how to train your dog, and they allow for some good, early socialization between your puppy and other dogs and people. Its coat is short and easy to look after, but you are still responsible for other grooming needs. Claws also need regular clipping, typically every 2 months. Claws may only need trimming every three months or so if the dog is regularly walked on an abrasive surface like concrete. As such, the breed is largely free of these and eye-related problems that are found in the Pug. Overall, the mixed Retro Pug is considered a healthy breed with a longer lifespan than the Pug. Minor Conditions. Their stocky build, smushed faces, huge eyes and curly tails are truly heart-warming to behold, but there are a few things you should know before you make your decision. Firstly, pugs and retro pugs are two different dog breeds. The origin of the retro pug breed As I mentioned in the introduction, retro pugs and traditional pugs are two different types. I will start with the origins of the older breed, i. The origins of the traditional pug go back hundreds, if not thousands of years to ancient China, where they were the beloved pets of the nobility and royalty. The long breeding resulted in the now familiar smushed face, which the ancient Chinese believed was very fashionable at the time. In the s, the breed was introduced to Europe and from there spread to the rest of the world. A classic pug The name retro pug, on the other hand, is very misleading, as this breed was first bred in the s by German dog breeders. To this day, the retro pug is not an official dog breed, only a designer breed, as the breed is an experiment. The original aim of the German breeders was to breed a more hardy, healthier breed than the traditional pug. For this reason, they experimented with several crosses until they finally arrived at the Jack Russell Terrier. Jack Russel Terrier Since retro pug is a designer breed, you never really know how exactly the puppies of crossing the pug and Jack Russell parents will look like. When breeding, the aim is to select individuals that inherit the longer nose of the Jack Russell Terrier, as this will prevent the respiratory diseases that are so common in pugs. Retro pug vs. Thanks to crossbreeding, the retro pug inherits several characteristics from the Jack Russell Terrier breed. The most striking difference is the size of the nose: while the traditional pug has a flat nose, the retro pug inherits the longer nose of the terrier. Their longer noses allow them to breathe more easily and thus better regulate their body temperature in extreme hot or cold weather.
