Plot[ ] At a hospital, Butch J. Bulldog paces nervously, waiting for his baby to be born. He is, and Butch happily faints. Back at home, Butch teaches his new son how to walk, act tough, and bite cats by practicing on a dummy. One day, the young bulldog is playing with a ball when he wanders upon Sylvester. His training kicks in, and he attacks Sylvester, who proceeds to place the small bulldog under a tin can. However, Butch catches Sylvester doing this and exacts revenge by taking Sylvester to a shed and hammering the tin can onto his head and, as his emergence from the shed indicates, ultimately the rest of his body. Later, Sylvester is walking along while the baby bulldog is biting at his tail. He slaps the baby bulldog, only for Butch to catch up to him and wallop Sylvester in retaliation. After that, Sylvester reluctantly plays fetch with the baby bulldog and decides to throw the stick into a busy street, hoping the baby bulldog will be flattened. However, the young bulldog retrieves it successfully. Annoyed, Sylvester prepares to throw it again but Butch sees this and throws the stick into traffic himself, pointing for Sylvester to fetch the stick this time. Sylvester successfully retrieves it amidst heavy traffic, but is run over by a man on a scooter on the sidewalk anyway. Once again, Sylvester plays fetch with the baby bulldog again and throws a ball into a doghouse, which Sylvester boards up when the baby bulldog chases the ball into it. Sylvester plans to drop a lit stick of dynamite into the open hole on the top. However, Butch once again catches Sylvester and places the doghouse over Sylvester instead; Sylvester doesn't hammer out the nails in the boards in time, and it explodes. Sylvester sets up a booby trap of a dog bone hooked up to a shotgun. When Butch's son begins tugging on the bone, Butch gives Sylvester a stern look, prompting Sylvester to run over and plug the shotgun hole with his finger so the baby bulldog is unharmed, getting his finger shot over and over, including once in the face, as Butch's son tugs. The stork arrives and announces Butch has even more puppies to add to his family. Having had enough with dealing with more pesky baby bulldogs, Sylvester chases the stork, shooting at him. Censorship[ ] When this cartoon aired on ABC's The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show , the following scenes were edited: The sequence where Sylvester traps Butch's son in the doghouse and readies a dynamite stick to blow him up, only for Butch to appear and place the doghouse on Sylvester, blowing him up as he tries to escape. Several shots of Sylvester receiving painful blasts as he plugs the constantly firing gun and the scene of Sylvester getting his finger out and being blasted in the face were cut to make it seem like Sylvester was shot a few times off-camera. Cartoons , free of sound effects and voices. This short lacks a visible MPAA number on the credits card. The plot of this cartoon is a spoof of the Tom and Jerry cartoons with Spike and Tyke, where Spike is very protective of his son Tyke and would teach him to attack cats, particularly Tom at times. He would usually threaten and clobber Tom whenever he thinks Tom was annoying Tyke. This is one of the rare Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies cartoons to have only one animator, in this case Gerry Chiniquy. This is the only short where the stork , who is normally drunk, is sober throughout and delivers babies to the right parents. In this short, the only character who speaks on the camera is The Drunk Stork. Bulldog is meant to be the same bulldog as Hector the Bulldog from the Tweety and Sylvester cartoons, which Friz Freleng also directed at the same time. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Spike is a burly, gray bulldog wearing a red sweater, a brown bowler hat , and a perpetual scowl. Chester is a Jack Russell terrier who is just the opposite, small and jumpy with yellow fur and brown, perky ears. The first of these films was Tree for Two .The cat is Freleng's own Sylvester , but every time Spike thinks he has the cat cornered, a runaway zoo black panther appears in Sylvester's place, thrashing the dog instead. When Chester decides to have a go of it, however, Sylvester finds himself at the little dog's mercy. By the cartoon's end, Spike and Chester have switched roles; Spike is the fawning sycophant, and Chester the smug prizefighter. The characters' second outing was in the short film Dr. Jerkyl's Hide .Chester, of course, never sees this transformed Sylvester, thinking his buddy is being beaten by the tiny tomcat. The final loss of face for Alfie is his being thrashed by a fly that has also been affected by the potion, as it occurs in front of Chester's eyes. Later appearances[ edit ] They appear in Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island as part of the characters that visit the wishing well, where Spike wishes that Chester be as brave as him, after it happening the events of Tree for Two. Spike and Chester appear in the movie Space Jam .They are seen as a pair of paramedics during the basketball game, who take Stan Podolak away after he was flattened by the Monstars. A live action version of Spike and Chester appeared in a commercial for Kibbles 'n Bits. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Hector is a muscle-bound bulldog with gray fur except in A Street Cat Named Sylvester and Greedy for Tweety , where his fur is yellowish and walks pigeon-toed. His face bears a perpetual scowl between two immense jowls. He usually wears a black collar with silver studs. History[ edit ] His first prototype appearance was in 's Double Chaser. Hector's first true appearance was in 's Peck Up Your Troubles , where he foils Sylvester's attempts to get a woodpecker. His usual role is to protect Tweety from Sylvester, usually at Granny 's request. He typically does this through brute strength alone, but some cartoons have him outsmart the cat, such as 's Satan's Waitin' , wherein Hector as Satan convinces Sylvester to use up his nine lives by pursuing Tweety through a series of extremely dangerous situations. Later appearances[ edit ] Hector was going to have a cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit , but was later dropped for unknown reasons. In the cartoon, he plays Granny's loyal guardian. The show makes Hector's low intelligence his Achilles heel , as Sylvester is constantly outwitting him. Hector appeared in Looney Tunes Cartoons , where he appeared as a military sergeant who tries to protect Tweety from Sylvester. Henry Holt and Co.

Like his Poodle ancestors, your Cockapoo will be highly curious and intelligent. This makes Cockapoo puppies a breeze to train, as they easily pick up on positive reinforcement training techniques. As Cocker Spaniels were originally bred for hunting, this is a dog that loves to explore — spending hours happily rambling through a field guided by his nose if permitted to do so! Cockapoo Puppies Health Considerations Though generally very healthy and long-lived — with an average lifespan of around 13 years — our Cockapoos for sale are not without their unique health concerns. Like every breed of dog, there are a few conditions you should be aware of before you consider purchasing one of our Cockapoo puppies for sale. Understanding the risks allows you to know the signs and prevent small health concerns from turning into big ones. Cockapoo puppies are at somewhat elevated risk for developing the following conditions: Vision and Hearing Issues: Cockapoos may suffer from hearing loss in later life due to mass or polyps forming in the ear, causing infections and deafness. Vision problems may be attributed to cataracts, glaucoma and a range of other issues. Common in smaller dogs, this condition may create mobility issues for your dog, but can be treated with physical therapy. Finding a Cockapoo puppy for sale from a reputable breeder can dramatically — although, not eliminate — the risk of your dog developing some of these conditions. Their coat is usually, but not always, hypoallergenic. This dog loses only small amounts of hair when bathing or brushing. While all our Cockapoos for sale are low-shedding dogs, they have a variety of coat textures — each with its own maintenance requirements. Your Cockapoo will need to be brushed around four to five times a month, although straight coats can be brushed as little as two times per week. Consider purchasing this best-selling dog brush for your furry friend! Cockapoos should be taken to a groomer for a trim seasonally — around every three months — but should not have a trim until they are at least six months old. Meet Cockapoo Puppies for Sale.

I am familiar with common and uncommon health problems they may face so when my boyfriend and I decided we were ready to adopt our own english puppy finding a reputable breeder that prioritizes health was most important to us. Erica and Mitch of Bruiser Bulldogs are just that. They are experienced, ethical and quality breeders. I was referred to them by my friend that I trust after I saw their gorgeous healthy puppy. Our Puppy Primrose is the light of our lives! Bruisers was there to assist us every step of the way. We would highly recommend Bruisers Bulldogs to anyone looking for their own happy, healthy pup! Leah H. We were lucky to have come across Bruiser Bulldogs and even more so the fact that they were near our family and hometown made it even better. We have had Clementine Callie for four months now, and she is a wonderful dog. Her personality is amazing, and I think part of it is breeding and the other part is Erika and her family lovingly raising the puppies in their home with plenty of attention and snuggles. I also was impressed that, rather than send the puppies out right at 8 weeks, Erika kept ours for a few extra weeks because she was tiny and not read to leave her mom yet. It's that care that differentiates Bruisers from other breeders. Emily R. Erica was easy to work with thru the entire process from application to adopting and now beyond as we host our new family member, Chief. Her on-call support and willingness to provide open, honest advice to all of our questions and concerns continues to be appreciated. We would highly recommend Bruiser Bulldogs to anyone looking for an English Bulldog to join their family. Elizabeth W. Lady L.

Her knowledge on bulldogs is outstanding. We had many questions on the process and she always knew what was best for the puppy. We've had Penny formerly Blair for two months and she is very healthy, energetic, playful, and sweet. She is great with other people and dogs. We are so happy with our pup. When we are ready for bulldog 2, we will only consider Bruiser Bulldogs. Mitch C. Bowser was born April and is an integral part of our family. When we were first exploring English Bulldog breeders our biggest concern was the overall health of the dogs. We decided to work with Erica at Bruiser Bulldogs because we liked their focus on improving the breeds breathing abilities and the fact that the puppies are raised within her family environment before coming home with their new owners. Bowser also breaths clearly and our vet was impressed with his overall health from the moment we brought him home. All that said we know English Bulldogs have a predisposition to many health issues and that his current health can not predict the future. With that In mind its important to start with a breeder that open to answer any of your questions as Erica has ours, and that strongly believes in improving the breeds overall health profile. Adam B. My sister ended up finding Bruiser Bulldogs and we knew right away that they were the breeder for us. In September we ended up driving 9 hours to pick up two Bruiser bulldog puppies- one for my husband and I and one for my mom. Jackson and Penelope have been nothing but a joy. They are both very athletic and healthy. They are also HUGE snugglers and always want to be with you. It is an absolute pleasure having these two bullies in our lives! Erica is very knowledgeable about the breed. She is very hands on throughout the process and is just overall a kind and honest person to work with. With all that being said I cannot recommend Bruiser Bulldogs enough! Collyn C. One of the reasons we chose Bruiser Bulldogs was due to the claims about breeding for health. During our first visit at our vet's office, he told us that our pup was one of the healthiest English bulldogs he had ever seen. He is healthy, happy and social. Would recommend to anyone. Christina S. We seen our dog on their website and sent them an Email. Mitch called us and personally walked us through the process and made sure we had the right dog for our family.

Australian Labradoodles are multi-generational Labradoodles where often another breed has been introduced to the mix. The Australian Labradoodle was created to achieve a breed with more predictable and consistent traits. Fun Fact! The Australian Labradoodle does not have any Australian dog breeds in the mix. The most common ones are parti, white, apricot, chocolate, black, merle, lavender, cream, silver, or different shades of brown. Another interesting thing is that they can change color over time! So if you have an apricot colored puppy, they will likely have a red coat a few years later. The color will also either darken or fade as they grow older. Coat, Shedding And Hypoallergenic Level Thanks to careful and continuous breeding, Australian Labradoodles have low to non-shedding coats. If you have allergies or asthma, they might be perfect for you. In addition, there are three types of coats they can have: Fleece coat — silky, soft, and lightweight coat. It can be either wavy-straight or have a soft curl. This coat type tends to be low to non-shedding and allergy-friendly. Wool coat — cotton-like feel and resembles lamb wool. This coat type requires more brushing and maintenance than a fleece coat. On the other hand, it is usually non-shedding and even more allergy-friendly. This type of coat can have a doggy odor and is the least allergy-friendly. F1 F2 Coat Description Coats are usually more wavy than curly, which grows to a typical length of inches. May or may not have an undercoat. Coats are more likely to be curly than wavy, and grows to a typical length of inches.

Learn More Labradoodles, one of the earliest of all the Doodles, make terrific family pets. These loveable dogs are great with adults and children alike. However, early Labradoodle training and socialization are critical to their development. They require a calm yet firm and consistent hand to ensure they know how to act both in and away from home. With a bit of research, some hard work, and a little patience, you can develop a secure, loving, and mutually respectful relationship with your pet. Below we have outlined different types of training, listed a few must-have items, and have included some top tips for dealing with common obedience issues. Training is the very last thing on your mind as they wriggle sweetly about in your arms and lick your nose. You just want them to feel happy and loved with their new family, right? Well, guess what… the very best way to make your new canine friend feel quickly at home with you is to establish clear boundaries from the get-go. This is more about setting ground rules so as to not leave them confused when they are allowed to do something one day and suddenly not the next. Training is all about developing a consistent routine. For example, make sure to feed your new puppy and let them out to do their business at the same times each day. This all goes towards helping them feel comfortable and secure in their new environment. The owner would do everything they could to establish their alpha status over their dog and use this status to control them. As our knowledge of dogs has improved, we have moved away from intimidation and coercion for shaping long-term positive behaviors. We know now that it may seem effective in the short term, but the end result is a fearful pet that is more likely to lash out when they feel uncomfortable. Many modern methods encourage good behavior rather than discouraging bad behavior — although this is done in slightly different ways. Despite what some trainers may tell you, there is no one-size-fits-all method for training your dog. Positive Reinforcement Positive reinforcement is based on the theory that dogs will repeat any actions for which they are rewarded. Treats, verbal praise, and play can all be used to mold behavior. This method also focuses on developing positive associations with both you and with training that will have your pup clamoring to learn even more. With this style of training, unwanted actions are simply ignored. The idea behind this is that owner attention is simply another form of reward — whether you are telling your pet that they are being good or bad. Not acknowledging an unwanted behavior removes the positive reinforcement, so it is less likely to be repeated. The issue with this is that some bad actions can be their own reward, e. In such circumstances, the owner might respond by removing a favored treat or toy. This is known as negative punishment. It differs from positive punishment, which would be shouting and hitting. Clicker Training Reliant on the same principles as positive reinforcement, clicker training is often utilized by professional trainers. Best for Clicker Training Compare Products Benefits of the clicker include marking the exact point at which your dog does what you want them to do. In this way, they will know precisely what they are being rewarded for. With long-term use, the sound itself can even become the treat — your pup will derive pleasure from a job well done. However, your dog needs to first be trained to associate the clicker with a treat. This is done by asking them to carry out a behavior they are already familiar with, using the clicker when they do, and promptly administering the treat. Any issues with the dog are considered to be the fault of the owner. The dog is simply a mirror in the process, reflecting what the owner is doing and feeling. The owner needs to figure out what they are doing wrong. Similarly, a dog that has developed a close attachment with its owner will mimic their actions in order to please them. If they sit on the ground, their pup will copy them — they are learning by example. This copying behavior also extends to other dogs that they have an attachment to, so proper socialization is vital to the process. Another important aspect of this method is allowing the dog the freedom to develop and make the best use of their natural instincts. Dogs are often trained off the leash, and much of the training and associated games focus on hunting, defending, and retrieving. In this way a strong bond is developed between the dog and the owner. Relationship-Based Training This hybrid of other training styles also relies on a strong connection between a dog and its owner. It depends upon this cooperative relationship to achieve mutually beneficial results. However, relationship-based training does require greater patience than other methods, especially in the early stages while the bond is formed. They also need to understand what motivates the animal and make effective use of this knowledge. While positive reinforcements are applied, the owner also sets their pet up for success by carefully controlling their environment. Training will first occur in a quiet place free from distractions and new puppies will have their house access limited while toilet training. By far, the biggest requirement is high-value rewards to reinforce behavior. By high-value rewards, we mean things that your pup absolutely loves. Best Training Treats These can be a good option. However, moderation is essential with snacks. Go for healthier options and consider alternative reward options like toys. The latter is particularly recommended for training, for younger dogs that still pull on the leash, and for giving you a lot more control of a more powerful pup. Many seasoned dog owners also swear by crates for things like toilet training , for making traveling with your pet that much easier, or for just giving them a place to call home. Yet, it also means that they will happily run rings around you if you let them. The sad truth is that plenty of beautiful but boisterous Doods have ended up being kicked out of their new home because their inexperienced owner did not know how to properly train them. Here are a few issues you may encounter while teaching your Labby D the right way to behave in your home and around your family. They are opportunistic eaters and will happily chow down on whatever they can get their cute little paws on. While counter surfing may seem funny the first time it happens, it can quickly become super frustrating. Probably the most effective way to prevent your dog from stealing food is to just remove temptation in the first place. Use positive reinforcement methods to help your pup understand what is expected of them. Avoid giving them mixed messages by feeding them off the counter or table you are trying to prevent them from jumping up to. Jumping Up Most Doodles, Labby ones in particular, are incredibly sociable dogs, but they need to learn how to behave around other animals and especially around people. Socialization training is a key aspect of getting your dog ready to be out in the real world. The more people they meet and spend time with, the less exciting it will all seem. Over-excitement is usually what lies behind jumping up behaviors and barking ones covered below. Pushing the dog down is the natural response, but to them this is all part of the game. Instead, you need to withdraw attention. Simply turn and walk away. You might then encourage your pup to sit when new people approach them and ask that the person only pets them when they are doing this. Barking Labradoodles are not usually nuisance barkers. If they are spending a lot of time making noise, chances are something is seriously upsetting them. Barking can signal everything from boredom to separation anxiety. This can help you understand how best to manage it. Socialization can make your pooch feel more comfortable around people, and other dogs, while access to toys may make them happier about being left home alone. Training can then be used to encourage your dog to refrain from barking. As with other unwanted behaviors, avoid rewarding them with your attention when they are barking. Provide them with treats only when they are quiet and calm. You may also want to train them to respond to a command that will tell them to quit barking. Pulling on The Leash Leash pulling can be a major issue for most canines before they walk properly to heel — young, excitable Labradoodles are no exception. Walking calmly at a much slower pace than they would like does not come naturally to canines. Pulling is also self-rewarding for dogs. They are getting to where they want to be, often at a quicker pace than before. However, this daily tug-of-war is likely to be far less fun for you and your poor arm. The quicker you can get your pet leash trained, the better. When they start to pull, simply stop and wait for them to return to your side before moving on again. See Also: Click the image Digging Digging is another activity that many active dogs love. This behavior can be difficult to combat because the digging itself is the reward — it can be a lot of fun for them. There are several possible solutions to prevent your back yard constantly resembling a churned-up cow field. The easiest one is to keep your pal stimulated and occupied. Up your exercise game — throwing in active play alongside frequent walks to keep them plenty busy. Finally, you might consider providing your pup with their own special place to dig and encouraging them through positive reinforcement to restrict this behavior to that part of the garden. In our experience, it does seem to work…until they simply find a new place to dig. Good thing poop is abundant! Biting and Mouthing Nipping and chewing are normal puppy play behaviors done with love and fun in mind. Aggressive biting in this breed signals an often serious underlying issue. Puppies will lightly bite their playmates as part of a game. Older dogs will rarely engage in such behaviors. Chewing, on the other hand, could be a sign that your young dog is teething , or that your adult dog is bored. Determining which one your dog is doing and identifying the possible reasons why are crucial. Both teething and boredom chewing is usually easily cured by providing appropriate chew toys. Biting especially in older dogs could indicate that they are stressed, fearful, or in pain. Your veterinarian will be able to provide you with further support with this issue. Eating non-food items is not just antisocial, it could result in some pretty serious health problems, including intestinal blockage that requires surgery. However, they can be pretty good fun to chew. Chances are your pooch is just looking for something fun to do to relieve their boredom. Dogs also instinctually chew to keep their teeth clean and their jaws strong and healthy. The simple solution as covered with avoiding chewing behaviors is to substitute your socks for a much more interesting-looking chew toy. Then aim to keep your socks and other chewables well out of their reach — especially dirty ones which seem to be by far the bigger draw. Consistency is crucial for helping your dog to understand the rules of this game. Get into a fast pattern of letting them out at the same times each day first thing in the morning and last thing at night are both vital and taking them to the place you would prefer they relieved themselves. Keep in mind that there will be accidents and setbacks — there always are, but given time your dog will learn. Refrain from punishing or reprimanding your pet when they do slip up, as this could make them anxious, which will make the problem even worse.

This makes them much easier to train than other breeds. The fact that they are so people-focused means they usually enjoy learning new skills and tricks. How do you discipline a Labradoodle? Disciplining dogs is rather an old-fashioned idea based on erroneous notions about how dogs live in the wild. However, some owners may discourage bad behavior by removing a treat or favorite toy for a while or by withdrawing their attention. What is the best way to train a Labradoodle? There is no best way to train any dog. Most owners swear by rewarding good behavior with treats, games, praise, or using a clicker to help your dog better understand when they are doing something right. However, it takes time and practice to find the right method and to get it to work for the both of you. A fair amount of patience is needed — especially in those very early days. Your little baby is not going to understand everything you are trying to teach them right off the bat. With the focus of our program being on breeding and raising labradoodles that are intelligent, willing to learn and eager to please our puppies are well suited for families that are novice dog owners to the most experienced trainers and anyone in between. It is also important for the health and well being of the dog. Teaching basic behaviors such as come, stay, place, off, leave it, etc. These commands will build on the foundation we instill in our puppies through our use of Puppy Culture early rearing techniques. Finding a trainer to work with before bringing a puppy home is important as learning appropriate behavior from the beginning is key. This is far easier than trying to correct bad behaviors later. We recommend finding a balanced trainer that uses a combination of positive reinforcement and correction techniques. Even for experienced puppy families working with a trainer is ideal. Depending on where families live there may be several options in the area, or a family may need to travel a distance to find a good trainer to work with. Finding out this information before adding a puppy to the home will ensure a family has the time, and financial means to dedicate to raising a well behaved companion, not one that jumps on people, bolts out the door, does not come when called, or other dangerous and discourteous behaviors. This data is evidence that a breeder cannot simply state that because a Labradoodle is a certain generation, there is a guarantee of minimal shedding. If a breeder states that an F1b litter will have all puppies with minimal shedding it would be prudent to reevaluate the knowledge that breeder has of coat inheritance. At JNB Stables we did a considerable amount of research to ensure that we never mislead our families about the coat type of each puppy. Through proper selection and using the limited genetic testing for coat variations available we can pair our dogs to produce litters that have the best chance of minimal shedding puppies with the exception of earlier generations where we KNOW there will be coat variation. We can evaluate each puppy's coat as they grow and make a strong approximation of that puppy's adult coat. However due to recessive lab coat genetics that can unexpectedly come into play, we do not make any guarantees in regards to shedding nor allergy friendliness of the coats of our puppies. If allergies are a large concern, we can set up a meet and greet with our dogs or past puppies with coats similar to the litter you are interested in to evaluate any reactions. So — why an F1, F1b, F2 or multigen Labradoodle? Their temperament and intelligence are what make our Labradoodles so exceptional! The Importance of Training Labradoodle The grooming requirements of a Labradoodle will vary greatly depending on the coat type. Those with a hair coat shedding will be much lower maintenance than one with a fleece or wool coat. A Labradoodle with a hair coat will need to be brushed once a week depending on the coat length, and will likely need to visit a groomer once every weeks. They are easy to bathe at home and are less likely to have matting or felting. Fleece or wool coated Labradoodles will need to be brushed multiple times a week, those with longer coats will require brushing daily. If time to groom is a concern these coats can be kept shorter, but brushing several times a week to prevent matting will be needed especially around the ears, muzzle, collar, legs and tail. Labradoodles with wool or fleece coats can be bathed at home but after they dry blow drying is preferred they must be completely brushed out using the line brushing technique. These Labradoodles need to visit the groomer every weeks. This extra time and expense needs to be taken into account before a family considers choosing a Labradoodle. Grooming can be done at home to save money in the long run, we groom our own dogs at JNB Stables. There is an initial investment of the equipment including a grooming table, quality clippers and scissors, and a dryer. There are many videos on YouTube to demonstrate how to groom a Labradoodle, so it is not hard to learn. But it is time consuming, it can be tedious and the resulting area will have hair.Consider these factors before deciding if grooming a Labradoodle in the home is best choice. Combining the eagerness to please, devotion and drive of the lab along with intelligence, affectionate demeanor and non-shedding coat of the poodle produced the first generation, or F1 Labradoodle. This first generation had esteemed qualities from both parent breeds, but these puppies still had moderate shedding hair coats and were not as allergy friendly as their poodle parent. To create coats with more of a poodle influence these first generations were again back crossed to a poodle creating an F1b to obtain the fleece coats that are desirable in the breed. Though many of the puppies had less shedding than the F1 Labradoodle, there are some that still had moderate shedding. By selecting the puppies with more desirable coats that also inherited the best qualities of both breeds they set the foundation for the next generation, the F2 which is an F1 x F1b, F1b x F1b, F1 x any higher generation or F1b x any higher generation , to try and produce puppies with even more coat consistency. Each subsequent generation to produce a third generation, or F3, a cross of an F2 x F2 or higher generation is needed that is produced through proper selection produces puppies with a higher percentage of minimal shedding coat consistency. Once a breeder reaches puppies that are multigens both parents are true third generations F3 or higher the coat consistency is almost completely minimal shedding with desirable fleece quality. Puppies that inherit more of the poodle coat genes may inherit the harsher wool texture. This coat quality is still likely to have lower shedding but may not be as desirable as the fleece coat. What does this information mean for owners? Knowing a puppy's generation can help future owners to understand the likelihood of shedding in a litter they may be interested in. The chart below shows the data we have gathered from owners of Labradoodles all over the world and the shedding they experienced with their dog. All Rights Reserved Privacy Policy.

These mistakes may seem innocuous and sometimes cute—but they're anything but. Solving your puppy's behavior problems starts with you learning. Many first time pet owners think they're prepared to raise and train a Labradoodle without possessing the proper tools for the job. What I am about to share with you will put old-school training methods to shame. I am a hardcore Labradoodle enthusiast by every definition. What started as a love for dogs quickly turned into an obsession to understand Labradoodle behavior; allowing me to formulate the most effective and ethical principles backed by science and years of experience. I am here to tell you that teaching your Labradoodle good behavior, as well as tricks and concepts—while maintaining integrity—doesn't have to be complicated! I encourage you to please keep reading as I reveal to you Key dog training principles that will allow you to have a powerful bond and enjoy an exceptionally behaved pet. So I thought, "What could possibly go wrong? Imagine my frustration when in just 3 months after adopting "Oliver," he: Constantly urinated and defecated inside Chewed through all my shoes, socks and furniture Growled, barked and lunged at family, neighbors and friends Jumped on anyone walking through the front door; even small children Barked non-stop when I left the house; which left my neighbors feeling exasperated Refused to listen to me and ignored any commands that he previously learned Begged at the dinner table, ignoring his own food Chased around the neighbor's cats and small animals. .Learn to Correct and Prevent Some of The Worst Labradoodle Problems Today My precious little pup Oliver would climb up on our furniture and perform a series of systemic barks and howls; as if he was giving a speech to a sea of pups! Feeling frustrated, I took him to dog training classes. Although his behaviour slightly improved, it wasn't even a week later when Oliver was back to his old routine of ignoring my commands and chewing on my antique French Rug; a not-so-stylish gift from my grandmother. On top of it all, he only seemed to obey commands when the dog trainer was around. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I was on a mission to figure out why traditional dog training didn't work for my dog. I spent countless hours after work studying dog behavior and essential dog training principles. Months into my research, my hope, as well as my coffee, was running out. One morning after a long night of research I looked at my books and notes, and stumbled upon a startling realization: They were all dog training books. .Not Labradoodle training books! In the moment of clarity, I was also astonished by the sheer amount of inaccurate and outdated information that dog trainers and ordinary pet owners blindly accept and follow. I was beginning to understand why so many Labradoodle owners grew tired and confused—eventually giving up altogether. This teaches your puppy to avoid pain and discomfort, rather than learning how to communicate effectively. Sadly, many Labradoodle owners just like you are blindsided by inaccurate information; compromising your integrity, as well as the respect and trust of your puppy. This will exert immense stress and anxiety on to your pet; drastically slowing down training progress and causing him to exhibit countless behavioral problems. Pet owners that entertain old-school training methods end up with dogs who live in a state of perpetual fear—leaving owners feeling exasperated. What baffled me the most is that it took me months of extensive research to distinguish the right way to train your Labradoodle, from the wrong. How many pet owners have the time or patience to read and study a mountain educational material? Suddenly, I wished that I had known the truth when I first adopted Oliver to prevent behavioral problems from developing in the first place. To my own surprise, these key training principles were so powerful and effective, I was able to reverse behavioral issues within weeks. My new mission was clear: delineate my keen understanding of key Labradoodle training principles to dog owners who are desperate for information that actually works. I began working with my Labradoodle in an attempt to filter out training techniques that were ineffective, and only stuck to what worked. After many months of trial and error, I compiled what I believe is the "bible" of dog training methodology. I still remember writing in my black notebook in red ink every time Oliver complied with a new concept ridiculously faster than the average dog would using traditional methods. This way I was able to discover how to effectively communicate with my dog, as well as the ins and outs of Labradoodles. For the longest time, I could not figure out why my little Energizer-Bunny loved to chew all my furniture to shreds. Or why he thought it was amusing to knock over my new crystal vase. Today, Oliver knows better than to chew on things other than his toys. We have a mutual understanding based on respect. I decided to share my findings with family and friends to help them build a bond with their dog. The feedback was overwhelming! I began receiving questions, as well as thank-you cards, e-mails, and gifts like it was Christmas morning. Several months later, keeping up with questions became impossible. Many people only got a piece of the pie, but wanted the whole thing! I needed a better way to get this powerful information to every dog owner.

What Sets Us Apart We know that German Shepherd breeders are a dime a dozen, and that good breeders are as easy to find as poor ones. One of the many things that sets us apart from the crowd is devotion to puppy raising. At Austerlitz Shepherds we practice passionate puppy raising. We devote ourselves fully to raising each and every puppy in our care. Every litter has two full time puppy raisers, Susanne and Rebecca, both experts in training, behavior, and early puppyhood development. We work tirelessly to ensure our puppies benefit from the excellent genetics they inherit. We understand completely that our hard work creates lasting benefits to the behavior and health of every dog we place. Here is a short breakdown of just what you get when you join the Austerlitz Shepherds family. We knew upon first exposure that Puppy Culture would improve our already rigorous puppy raising protocol, and we have been joined by some of the best breeders in the world because Puppy Culture has fast become the Gold Standard in puppy raising. From early neurological stimulation, emotional stability exercises, teaching puppies to communicate needs politely, handle frustration with aplomb, early positive crate training, and early toilet training, Puppy Culture builds a calm, confident, and adaptable puppy that is a pleasure to add to your family. Training: Our professional trainers start teaching puppies life skills like Manding asking politely , toilet skills, crate skills, and how to settle down. We also introduce basic training skills like sit, down, hand target, attention, leash walking, and coming when called. Crate Conditioning : The Crate Conditioning protocol we designed is so popular we now teach it to other breeders, fosters, and new puppy owners all over the world. We introduce crates early, condition puppies to see their crate as a wonderful place to be, play lots of crate entry games, and build tolerance to confinement. We teach puppies early that crates are a safe place to enjoy their favorite things. This will help make transitioning to your home less stressful for everyone. Early crate conditioning prepares puppies to grow into dogs who are calm and confident when crated even away from home at trials, shows, or when traveling with your family. Car Conditioning: Puppies are socialized to vehicles. They learn that vehicles are fun to climb into, fun to play in, and safe enjoyable places to relax. Puppies receive several vehicle exposures, including at least 1 hour in actual driving time. This prepares your puppy to be a confident and happy traveler that can easily accompany you to shows, trials, or for long family trips. Just Long Enough: We keep our puppies a minimum of 9 weeks and a maximum of 10 weeks. German Shepherds often experience a strong fear imprinting period around 8 weeks. This makes placement at 8 weeks riskier for long term behavioral health than placement after 9 weeks. By placing in that golden window between 9 and 10 weeks you avoid the risk of transitioning during a fear imprinting period, yet the new family still has several more weeks during the Critical Socialization Period to socialize your puppy to your own individual lifestyle. Sure, this is more work for us, but with the help of Puppy Culture, our crate conditioning, and toilet training protocol, we are able to make the most of this extra week. New owners benefit from a slightly more mature puppy with more training, crate, and toilet skills. Argent and Snapdragen all loaded up and ready for a road trip to their new homes in Ohio. When this is not possible, we can meet you half way, or deliver your puppy to your door. This protects both the behavioral and physical well being of your puppy.

Your AKC Registration includes a complementary 30 day pet insurance policy. Before you take your puppy home you will be provided with an abundance of educational material to help you prepare for your puppy raising experience, then on Puppy Pick Up Day we continue this education by preparing a day long educational puppy raising summit for our puppy families. You will get to practice your training on our fabulous and skilled demo dogs, and then with your own puppy. You will learn how to teach your puppy to love grooming, and how to trim nails and clean ears. While we are flexible with scheduling, attendance at our educational summit is both free lunch included and required of all new puppy families. This extends beyond pedigree research, sound breeding practices, and health testing and into how we raise our puppies. Everyone loves puppies, they are so cute and sweet, but did you know there are important developmental periods your puppy will go through before ever joining your household? In our desire to raise the most behaviorally sound, confident, and stable puppies possible we implemented the game changing Puppy Culture puppy raising, training, and socialization protocols almost seven years ago and are extremely pleased with the long term benefits our puppies, and their owners, get from this evidence based program. To learn more about Puppy Culture watch this video. We have also developed our own cleanliness training program to ensure our puppies learn house training foundations and are easy to house train in the new home and Crate Conditioning program that focuses on creating confidence while confined and ensuring our puppies are easy to crate train. During this time puppies needs consist of a caring mother, warmth, grippy and dry bedding, and lots of time for the hard work of growing. Our work is lite during these day since GSDs are excellent mothers, consisting mainly of ensuring the puppy box is warm, dry, and draft free and the dam has all the privacy she wants. Highlights of our work during the first 21 days. Stable puppies have Early Neurological Stimulation started on day 3, puppies who are struggling in any way have Simulated Maternal Stimulation 3. As soon as puppies start urinating on their own a designated potty zone is introduced as the earliest foundation for our cleanliness training process. Dam is allowed as much privacy and rest with her puppies as she desires. We start conditioning the puppies to enjoy grooming by gently stroking them with a soft human baby hairbrush. Nails are trimmed weekly from week 1 through send home. Box is kept clean, warm, and private to ensure our dams are happy. A content and relaxed dam is our goal early on. Bottles are offered to puppies in very large litters, or any puppy who needs a bit of help gaining weight. Very large litters will need a larger area, this area also has a baby potty zone. One of our four foundation females, Eyleen. Zap making it clear she would like privacy with her newborns Andeigh and her puppies. By week four our puppies are up on their feet, walking, starting to interact and play with each other, and the critical socialization period is underway. The dam is needing to spend more time away from her puppies, and the puppies start learning about how to be a dog from our skilled, puppy loving, nannies. The nannies role in socializing the puppies to the ways of dogs is invaluable. While the tasks and work a skilled breeder does are too many to list, here are some highlights. Puppies are moved to a larger, more interesting area, and cleanliness training continues with a designated toilet area. Puppies are offered solid food Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy three times per day dam can still nurse the puppies at will in large puppy pans. Group feeding at this age fosters enthusiastic eating. Regular socialization opportunities with our skilled puppy raising nanny dogs, and with us. Grooming soft brushing and nail trims continue. Puppy Culture work continues please look over the link for more info on the PC work. In the heart of the house the puppies have more opportunities to become accustomed to household sights, sounds, and have lots of opportunities to socialize with us and the nannies. Puppies have meals offered three times per day now, at first in a puppy pan, and in later weeks in individual bowls in crates. We are continuing to work with the Puppy Culture protocols and this work will continue right through until send home, as will cleanliness training, and socialization. Puppies build confidence through a rotation of age appropriate experiences Puppies learn that a caregiver leaving them is normal, as the dam comes and goes at will, teaching puppies to trust in caregiver return. At week four puppies continue learning to prefer being clean by using a potty zone. Skilled puppy loving nannies help the puppies learn trust different dogs. Puppies learn to enjoy resting in crates from week 4. Puppies learn to potty outside when they have access to our spacious puppy patio via a doggie door starting at week 5. Different types of toys are rotated daily. Puppies learn to form bonds with humans through frequent, predictable, and enjoyable interactions. Things get busier and busier as the weeks go by, there is so much puppies need to be exposed to and learn to love, in these first few weeks that benefit them throughout their lives. Putting in this work is our number 1 priority during these formative weeks. While there is too much to mention, some highlights of our work during weeks 6,7,8 are: 1. Socialization to environments call the Enrichment Effect , people, and dogs is in high gear. It is not enough that puppies are exposed to things, they must form happy and positive associations with these things to feel confident about them in the future. So we curate our puppies daily lives, showing them exactly what is age appropriate and ensuring they learn only what is beneficial for them, this work is laid out for us in the Puppy Culture protocols. Our Crate Conditioning program is started. This work focuses on creating calm and confident feelings around crates and confinement in a curated and incremental manner. New families receive a complementary enrollment in our crate training course for the new puppy owner. Cleanliness training continues, we will add a litter box to the indoor potty zone and puppies will now have access during the day to the outdoor puppy patio via a doggie door from their pen. The large area also decreases bickering and tension between puppies. Of course all new families will receive complementary enrollment in Poop School: House Training. Sound Conditioning: At weaning we start pairing all types of sounds with playtime, mealtime, and other fun activities this teaches puppies that random sounds are fabulous and mean good things are going to happen. Puppies also have access to the outdoors via the puppy patio and so can habituate to the ambient noises of our location livestock, wildlife, road noise, human noises, mowers and tractors, etc and since their puppy corral is in the heart of the house they are also exposed to all the noises of our busy household. While it is not beneficial for puppies to be pushed into learning skills like an adult dog, there is benefit to curated learning of some important life skills, and further as part of the Enrichment Effect we focus on helping puppies learn how to communicate needs to us in a socially acceptable way Manding , to love to problem solve and seek out novel experiences Enrichment Seekers with us and their environment, and how to use their behavior as a path to reinforcement. Confidence building continues Confidence builds as puppy have a variety of age appropriate experiences Socialization with new people continues Puppies learn that new people are awesome and trustworthy Puppies continue to learn that crates are for resting, eating, chewing and are happy places to be. Puppies learn to love being crated. Through a thoughtful rotation of age appropriate activities At week 5 the doggie door to the puppy patio is opened and puppies can go outside To potty, play, and rest on our spacious and safe puppy patio. Play is learning for puppies, puppies raised in experience rich environments grow into smarter, better adjusted, and more confident adults. Puppies become braver and more capable at each activity.

Increase in stress hormone levels We want our puppies to have the best start possible. So we ensure our sires and dams are provided what they need to be happy, relaxed and not stressed out. Some just love relaxing in the shade with their favorite ball Some of our dogs love watching tv with their favorite toy or nursing puppies The Neonatal Period: 0 — 14 Days: Did you know Newborn puppies are helpless and respond only to warmth, touch, and smell. They cannot regulate body functions such as temperature and elimination. But amazing changes are taking place in their little brains and their body weight will double by 10 days. We take advantage of this period by neurologically "jump starting" the puppies when they are between days old. Military in their canine program developed a method in an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio Sensor" was developed. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the sixteenth day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development. The "Bio Sensor" program was also concerned with early neurological stimulation in order to give the dog a superior advantage. Its development utilized five exercises which were designed to stimulate the neurological system. Each workout involved handling puppies once each day. The workouts required handling them one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. Listed in order of preference, the handler starts with one pup and stimulates it using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup. It is not necessary to see that the pup is feeling the tickle. Time of stimulation 3 - 5 seconds. This is an upwards position. The pup while on its back is allowed to sleep. Time of stimulation seconds. Place the pup on the towel, feet down. Do not restrain it from moving. These five exercises will produce neurological stimulation, none of which naturally occur during this early period of life. These exercises impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected, the result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance. Benefits of Stimulation The benefits that have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises are: Improved cardio vascular performance heart rate Stronger heart beats More tolerance to stress Greater resistance to disease In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations. Secondary effects were also noted regarding test performance. In simple problem solving tests using detours in a maze, the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, whined a great deal, and made many errors. Their stimulated littermates were less disturbed or upset by test conditions and when comparisons were made, the stimulated littermates were more calm in the test environment, made fewer errors and gave only an occasional distress sound when stressed. Puppy Culture, Transitional Period: 14 — 21 Days. In this amazing week We see the puppies transform. Their eyes and ears are open, but sight and hearing is still limited. Tail wagging begins and the puppies begin to control body functions. They are becoming real puppies who can toddle, and play. During this time Did you know that puppies have developmental periods, and those developmental periods are defined by behavioral markers? It is important for both breeders and puppy owners to be able to correctly identify these behavioral markers, because something that is extremely beneficial one week, could be very harmful in the next week, depending on what developmental period the puppy is in. The period between the time the puppies eyes and ears open is known as the Transitional period. This is because useful vision and hearing are thought to be necessary for puppies to enter into the next period of development. This week we offer fresh goats milk in a shallow pan for the puppies to start lapping up. For the transitional period these are tactile items the puppies can explore by scent, sound, and texture. Enriching the environment optimizes brain development and is continued until the puppies leave for their new homes. German Shepherds develop very quickly and have a strong desire to be clean. As soon as their eyes open they will attempt to move away from their sleeping area to potty. This helps the puppies to define a sleeping area and a potty area preserving their natural desire to be clean. Clean puppies are easier to house train later, and have fewer accidents. We continue to adapt the potty area from potty pads to litter pans as the puppy's grow. The Critical Socialization Period: 3 to 12 Weeks Did you know The critical socialization period in dogs begins at just three weeks old, and is over when the puppies are 12 weeks old? And, the prevention of common behavior problems begins when the puppies are just three weeks old? What does it take to socialize a puppy? The Enrichment Effect Puppies receive an expertly enriched environment, in which the benefits will last a lifetime. This continues every week until the puppies leave. Here at Rodina Straze we are truly dedicated and take full advantage of the Critical Socialization Period, to help each puppy be the best it can be. Activities by the week Puppies are introduced to solid foods and their area begins to expand. The litter box is introduced Puppies begin receiving visitors as socialization starts. Startle Recovery exercises prime puppies for the challenges of a busy life. Foundation exercises for the prevention of separation anxiety. Nails are trimmed weekly so puppies become accustomed to body handling and grooming Week 4 Puppies are moved into a larger weaning pen, with age appropriate enrichment. Crate training starts. Crates are introduced to the weaning pen doors removed , comfy beds are placed inside to encourage puppies to nap in the crates. RS additional training and experiences We have a beautiful screened in porch area with age appropriate enrichment equipment for the puppies. By opening the door from the inside puppy area the puppies can come and go as they please. This area allows them access to fresh air and sunshine at an early age, yet they protected from the elements. They also experience all the sights and sounds of being outdoors as people and cars go by. Puppies also spend time with our cat "Jack" and Chihuahua "Phoebe" as they both love puppies and this accustoms the puppies to other dogs and cats. Week 5 Puppies learn to communicate with us in socially acceptable ways. Puppies are taught what is called "Manding" which is an automatic sit in front of a person the puppy is interacting with. It is not a required behavior, or a rule, but rather an acceptable behavior taught to replace jumping on a person. Clicker training starts and puppies start learning their core skills: Attention, Manding asking politely , and Come. Fear starts: At five weeks puppies are for the first time, capable of experiencing true fear. We expertly guide the puppies through their fear period, avoiding any experience that might cause lifelong fear problems, and building more emotional resilience as we go along. Crate Training continues puppies are encouraged to run into their crates. We also begin to feed the puppies lunch in their crates. Barrier challenges are introduced, to help the puppy learn to problem solve and handle frustration. RS additional training and experiences Puppies are introduced to the "Skinner Box" Puppies are moved into their outside Puppy enrichment building and yard during the day. This specially designed building and yard allows them to have room to run and explore at their own pace on different surfaces and obstacles in or outside. Puppies spend time in their puppy yard with our Chihuahua "Phoebe" getting them accustomed to small dogs. Session are kept short, puppies have naps and learn to relax when visitors come over, all skills they will need in their new home Puppies get to practice their training in real life settings, they get to Manding ask politely for petting instead of jumping. Puppies show off their enrichment seeking abilities and build confidence on novel object challenges. They learn to love strange and unusual footing, heights, and noises. Puppies nap in crate with door open. Eat and have chew time in their crate with the door closed. RS additional training and experiences Scent games are started to imprint hunt drive. Puppies are exposed to the car and short car rides. Marker words are introduced We start chaining behaviors in fun short training sessions Week 7 Problem behavior prevention protocols are started.

RS additional training and experiences This week the puppies are brought into our training center and begin working on more formal skills. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. We have all of our breeding dogs genetically tested, independently scored for hip and elbow health, and evaluated by a qualified veterinarian in order to determine if they are not only able to breed, but able to breed in a way that is safe for them and safe for the puppies that they will be creating. Our puppies get all of our free time and plenty of specifically budgeted time for them too. We raise them to be stellar family companions and future competitors in any venue. They receive Early Neurological Stimulation and Puppy Culture in order to give them the best start in life so that they can go on to succeed in the ring, and more importantly, as an excellent addition to your family. The difference is that, while we love the chamipion lines and buy and breed them too, we also go the extra mile to make Champions. All of our dogs that we breed are titled in some way. In fact, we ensure that all of our breeding stock is not just titled in conformation how they look , but also in some kind of sport that holds value to the breed. Some buyers don't see the point in this when they are just buying a family pet, but by working hard to title our dogs before breeding we ensure that the breed is still capable of being the amazingly built and high performing dogs that anyone familiar with the breed has come to know and love. These titles don't just prove their work ethic, but also ensure high trainability for your future puppy. I was able to choose my pup and breeder had knowledge of what I was looking for and suggested just the right dog for me. My pup is almost one and flying through different training skills. Eager to learn and her health is top notch. I highly recommend zeitgeist GSD to all! Was given useful information and education on why or why not a German Shepherd was right for our family. Brianna and her family are amazing and very helpful. So glad our paths crossed and we got to add Echo to make us a family of 7. A waiting list will be created at the announcement of the breeding.

We have a few litters a year, and all of our dogs are raised in our home. We believe that raising pups in our home versus outside in a kennel, benefits their overall development. Our pups are well socialized and desensitized before leaving our home. All of our puppies are exposed to children, a wide variety of people, other dogs, and cats. We do this, all in hopes, of handing off the best puppy possible. We health test ALL of our dogs prior to adding them to our breeding program. We take pride in what we do, and we do it with lots of love and care, just ask any of our StrongArm Families! We wanted to be different than the other breeders out there, we wanted to make sure that we stood out.We wanted our owners to remember their experience here at StrongArm German Shepherds, and even brag about it.Thats why we decided we needed to focus on the experience. We strive to be the breeder we never had, one that offers lifetime breeder support, yearly reunions, and one that our families will never forget. We strive to be the best breeder we can be.And we feel that shines through in our StrongArm puppies! During the playdates, our common love and passion for the breed sparked an incredible friendship, and so began our adventure together.Highly knowledgeable on German Shepherd's and the whole process of getting our puppy was awesome. They walked us through everything. Even got puppy play dates prior to picking up our new little one. They are awesome!! Thank You Tim, Amy, and Jamie!! Kendra D. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. Prenatal Stimulation - Petting the Dams abdomen activates the parasympathetic system. Facilitating relaxation, emotional attachment and socialization. Puppies from a petted mother have greater tolerance to handling than puppies from a mother that is not petted. We use the T-Touch method on our dams to release tension and induce relaxation. Biotinus Testing - We start getting to know our puppies immediately after birth by performing the Biotnus test also known as the vigor for life test. Combined with other tests and observations, we get a better understanding of each individual pup and their potential future. Early brain development is enhanced by created more neuro synapses. This early stimulation has significant lasting effects, which include improved future performance, as well as the ability to withstand stress better than non-stimulated pups. We provide gentle daily handling from birth, which has shown to improve a pups ability to thrive. Daily touching exercises helps desensitize pups to being touched in various ways, resulting in low body sensitivity. From birth, each puppy is imprinted and nurtured with individual attention. We rub their toes, massage their ears, put our fingers in their mouths, etc. This allows for positive association with people and conditioning for future tugs, pulls, bumps which may occur in their environment. It includes behavior patterns which are developing, attachments to people, and preferences for stimuli they have been exposed to. We assist this process with various stimuli, activities and handling, so that the puppies will have low fear, low anxiety and high confidence during this critical time frame. We also work on bonding and separation exercises. We want our pups closely bonded to humans and strive for an equal balance of dependance and independence. We begin early nail trimming and grooming exercises resulting in good long lasting behaviors. Environmental Enrichment - Research shows dogs raised in a sensory rich environment develop thicker cerebral cortexes, have more synaptic contacts between neurons and have higher levels of neuro-endocrine transmitters in thier brains than those raised in a non-stimulating environment. The results show that dogs raised in an enriched environment tend to be more inquisitive, adept at performing difficult tasks, and are more intelligent because of their experiences while young. We take the pups outdoors frequently and provide positive reinforcement for proper elimination. Puppies are well on their way with basic house training if not completely house broken by 6 to 8 weeks of age. For behavior training we provide a foundation of good behaviors. We try and introduce crates into their environment for early introduction to crate training. At about weeks of age we start individual play sessions, where we learn each puppies personality, strengths and weaknesses. We begin leash walking and individual property walks by 7 to 8 weeks of age. We want your dog to be obedient and trainable in every aspect, but able to be loyal and loving family member as well. On the farm, our pups are exposed to people, traffic, loud noises including gun fire , different types of flooring and dogs of different sizes, as well as horses. They have an excellent foundation to move forward with confidence. Puppies are evaluated and temperament tested in attempt to place them in the best possible home. All of the puppies are identified with color codes collars from the moment they are born. This allows us to keep track of each puppies growth and health. We used thick, rubber flooring over linolieum, as a base of our whelping pen. As our puppies grow, so does their immediate world. First by the expansion of their indoor pen. And, with the addition of toys, objects such as beds, a litter box, and climbing objects. We have seen our puppies using the litter box as early as 2 weeks of age. This makes the transition to using the restroom outdoors much easier for them. As soon as the puppies begin eating, they are generally ready to begin exploring their outdoor world as well. This is when we really begin to see their personalities develop. We have strict guidelines for visitors with our puppies, that must be followed to avoid outside contaminations. This provides great early socialization for the pups, and, allows for their new owners to receive some early bonding time. Puppy Culture is a program used by Breeders and Puppy owners, all over the world to improve the lives of their puppies and to limit behavioral issues by helping puppies to cope with and move past things that would otherwise cause issues as adults. We believe Puppy Culture is a valuable resource for caring and ethical breeders, along with new and old puppy owners, rescues, and is a fantastic add-on to attending a good puppy preschool. Breeders especially, by using Puppy Culture, you can improve the lives of your puppies with just a few minutes each day and it dramatically makes a difference when comparing a puppy raised by Puppy Culture vs a puppy raised the alternative non puppy culture method. Less issues, more brain development, more bonding, more balance and the ability to adjust better, why wouldn't you! Fits the puppy The Puppy Culture Exercise Booklet is an important guide to raising a puppy in a healthy and safe way. If every puppy owner would read and follow these guidelines, a huge number of behavioral issues and fractures could be avoided! Indispensable for new puppy owners, and great wisdom and guidance too for breeders to pass along in puppy packages. Puppy Culture takes into account all the things that we have always believed in and done and puts it in an easy to follow puppy raising manual! We are now utlizing this formal foundation for rearing our puppies. Because we switched to a structured program, you can easily pick up the exact same structure once the puppy goes to your home. Puppy Culture is focused on the first 12 weeks.Puppies learn about pottying in the potty tray when inside and preferably outside, so this helps the transition to potty training when they go home. Puppies learn about crate training while they can still do it with the security of their siblings at first, and later as they learn to be comfortable crating on their own. Puppies learn about clicker training when their brains are little sponges soaking up information. They learn to do things to get things, which is the foundation to a solid adulthood. They learn to sit, down, stand. We play scent games with some of the puppies. They learn touch. Puppies learn about "Come" from their first meal. Meals are moved around to different places with different footing and obstacles. When we blow a whistle during their first few meals, they quickly associate the whistle with the food. As they grow older, the puppies learn find the source of the sounds the whistle.Every family goes home with an exact whistle so that they always have that great recall. We include all types of environmental exposures, manding focus and attention , socialization and the best part is you can continue raising a puppy the puppy culture way once the puppy arrives at your home!!!

Things to Think About When Considering Standard Poodle Adoption If you are contemplating Standard Poodle adoption, you owe it to yourself and your potential new companion to understand this breed's needs. Standards are generally happy, outgoing, and intelligent pets, but they also require a bit more maintenance than the average dog. These Dogs Need Exercise: Standard Poodles are fairly large dogs with a great deal of energy to spare. They need daily exercise and mental stimulation to be happy. Poodles Must Be Groomed: Poodle hair grows continually throughout these dogs' lives. In addition to home grooming, plan to take them to a professional regularly. There are a ton of great rescue groups active on social media, including Facebook, but not all are reliable. Watch for these traits to determine if a group is focused on rescue and has a good reputation. Transparency: Make sure the organization is transparent. Legitimate rescues openly share information about operations, including the adoption process, medical treatments provided, and the animal's living conditions. Check nonprofit status: Check if the organization is registered as a non-profit and has a clear, reputable record. Watch out for too many purebred dogs: Be wary of rescues that always have a high number of popular or purebred dogs available. It could be a puppy mill disguised as a rescue. Outrageous fees: Out of the ordinary adoption fees without an explanation, like past medical expenses, could be a red flag. Check reviews and comments: Always research reviews, look for recommendations, and watch for warnings. Maybe someone had to move, the dog's owner passed away, or the dog has a health issue. Don't hesitate to ask why the dog is up for adoption and what steps they have taken to to correct or treat any issues the dog might have. A reputable shelter won't hesitate to share this info. Taking the time to sort these issues out means you have a better chance of finding the right dog for you.

Beneath the curly, hypoallergenic coat is an elegant athlete and companion for all reasons and seasons. All three varieties have the same build and proportions. At dog shows, Poodles are usually seen in the elaborate Continental Clip. Most poodle owners prefer the simpler Sporting Clip, in which the coat is shorn to follow the outline of the squarely built, smoothly muscled body. All Poodles can be trained with great success, as they are highly trainable and very intelligent. They do have a weaker bone structure than some other small breeds, but are still a tough little dog.

There are quite a few champions in the pedigrees and they're laid back compared to some bloodlines. The Standard Poodle began its development as a retrieving water dog more than years ago. With a crisp, curly coat as protection against the elements, superlative swimming ability, and off-the-charts intelligence, the Poodle was, and still is, a magnificent retriever. Hunters wanted their dogs to have free range of movement in the water, but they also wished to protect vital areas of the anatomy from the cold. They shaved the legs, neck, and tail but left the chest, hips, and leg joints coated. The rounded tufts on the legs, hips, and tail tip are called pompons. Note the spelling: Cheerleaders have pom-poms; Poodles have pompons. Elegant Poodles of the Standard and Miniature varieties found favor among the nobles of France and, eventually, all of Europe. An excellent nose brought the Poodle additional work as a truffle hunter. The Standard was bred down to the Miniature.

You can be confident the available puppies and their pictures shown are accurate and up to date. We are 5-month-old Standard Poodles weighing about lbs. While I love to play with my foster siblings, I really just want calm space to hang out with my humans and other fur friends. I wake and jump into bed to give my foster parents good morning snuggles! I enjoy a light morning snack and spend the rest of the day napping and hanging out with the humans while they work. After work, all bets are off, and I make sure to get all the puppy zoomies out. My leash training is going well, but I often try to chase the leaves and get distracted by unfamiliar sights and smells. I love to go outside to play, chew on a stick or take a walk. I also enjoy down time with humans to cuddle and get lots of belly rubs. I start my day at am, go potty, then breakfast. After I like going outside to chase squirrels and play. I then have dinner around pm and in my crate by 10pm for bed. I love learning tricks and am very food motivated! I also like to try and outsmart my foster parents when they hide my treats or sticks, I bring inside. I am very curious and love to explore, play, eat, and cuddle. Now that I am older, I can make it through the night without any potty accidents but I need to go outside as soon as I am up, usually around 7am. I eat breakfast then it's right back outside for my next potty break! I like to have a chew bone and play for a while, then naps. I like to sit on the couch next to my foster mom, or lay on my back sprawled out on the floor. I love going for walks and am learning to not pull. I bark a little at other dogs but I am very dog and people friendly. Nights are pretty low key, I may play a little before bed time, where I prefer to sleep next to my foster parent's bed. I love to cuddle if you'll allow me up too! Since I am still a puppy, I need reinforcements with potty training, proper leash walking, and learning what and what not to chew on. I am just a super sweet girl and can't wait to share my love with you!
