Apricot, brown, white, gray, black, cream, fawn Suitable for: New dog owners, families with older kids, people with allergies Temperament: Intelligent, active, friendly, mischievous These dogs are the epitome of elegance, and they know it. They carry themselves with an air of aristocracy, as though they expect only the best. 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. There are disagreements over the geographic origins of the poodle. Some people believe that the poodle is a French dog, while others link its origins to Russia, Piedmont, and a Northwest African dog breed. This suggests that the poodle was originally bred as a water retriever. Because of this linguistic link, many believe poodle was originally bred in Germany. But how did they become so popular? They were originally used as hunting dogs, but their popularity began to grow in the early s when they were introduced to France. They became a favorite of the French aristocracy and were often seen in paintings and other works of art. In the late s, poodles were introduced to America and quickly became one of the most popular dog breeds in the country. There are many reasons why poodles have become so popular in the United States. They are intelligent, loyal, and make great companions. Poodle breed standards around the world vary depending on the kennel club or organization. The Federation Cynologique Internationale FCI , however, recognizes five poodle colors: black, white, brown, grey, and fawn. These are often seen in the darker feathering around the ears and the ruff tipping. This is not their only special physical characteristic. On the other hand, silver-beige Poodles are born with brown coats. As they age and mature, this color fades out. To know for sure which type of dog you have, you should know the color of the puppy when it was born in order to make a correct identification. They are gentle, affectionate, and intelligent dogs that make great companion animals. And if black is unharmed by a brown cross, brown is greatly benefited by a black cross to keep the color and pigmentation dark. Like all recessives, brown bred to brown breeds true. For instance, my Ch. Sherwood The Chocolate Dandy, the only brown to appear in many generations in a black-bred strain, when mated to a brown bitch invariably threw an entire litter of browns. Whereas, bred to a black carrying a brown gene, the browns, if any, were in the minority. Of course, to produce even one brown puppy, both black parents must carry a brown gene. On the Continent only the darkest shades of brown are recognized, such as the deepest shades of chocolate. But in England and with us, all the various shades are allowed, and there is no color that has as many charming color variations. These range from almost black chocolate-and by the way, all brown puppies, no matter what shade they are going to be in later life, are born very dark. The beautiful reddish chestnut brown is brilliant, and there is a shade which is almost liver colored. I had a bitch that was a dark walnut color like old furniture, and there are cinnamon browns both light and dark. There may be pale brown of cafe-au-lait and parchment shades, and of course the various shades of gold from rich old gold to pale champagne. The pinkish apricots and creams are all browns further diluted, with cream as the furthest dilution of all at the end of the line. The worst and commonest defect in browns is their marked tendency towards light eyes, pale yellow at their worst, with light pinkish eye-rims, lips, and noses. This robs them of true Poodle outlook and expression and gives them either a bold or a vapid expression. The eyes of all browns, dark or light, should be several shades darker than their coats and just as dark as it is possible to get them. Dark eyes are always surrounded by dark eye-rims, and the lips and nose are the same dark shade. One or two black crosses help to keep the eyes and pigmentation dark. A really dark-eyed brown is invaluable for the breeding of browns. In the lighter dilute shades, it is possible to get actual black eyes and correct pigmentation, which adds a hundred percent to the attractiveness of these charming colors. A brown puppy is whelped brown all over and ALWAYS has a brown nose and toenail, although they are sometimes so dark as to appear blk. The puppy should be an even shade of brown from it's head to it's tail and the all important place for the breeder to inspect on newly whelped pupsin between the pads of the feet. A brown remainig dark for a very long time will have no white hairs in the pads. If it is sprinkled with white hairs it will either be a lighter brown or it will get many white hairs in the coat early in life and become a cafe au lait shade. At six wks of age the puppy when clipped should be appreciably lighter on face, feet, and tail. If the face is the same color as the main coat it will stay darker longer. However, if the face is on the other hand , appreciably lighter at six weeks, it will lighten quickly and be a lighter brown at maturity. As the brown puppy grows the coat stays approximately the same color without appreciable lightening, and will stay about the same color until about 2 yrs. Those browns that start having many white hairs sprinkled through the coat will end up cafe au lait in color. From three yrs of age on, the brown poodles even more so than blks. They do lighten very much like the blues. I have never seen a brown so dark as to appear almost blk. They do alas fadesome lines earlier and more than others. Most of those glorious dark mahoganies are young dogs and this, I might add, is irrespective of the varietyStandard, Miniature, or Toy. I have been told there are some great "holding browns" in Europe but have never actually seen them. As I have said so many timesdifferent linesor families do different things. It has been my experience that browns seem to have an unusual change in their color pattern. Their tails will start turning many of degrees lighter than, for example, the feathers on ears even close to the skin, and from their lightened tails the lightening spreads, The blues also tend to fade in the same manner. Sun, chlorine, also sea water have a strong bleaching effectso brown dogs should be kept mostly inside. Those reports of browns with blk. This browning is due, again, to sun or chlorine factors and they will, become charcoal or grey dogs in their third to fourth year of life. A recessive color is one which is hidden or covered by a stronger or dominant color, such as black. Black being stronger will cover brown, like a blob of blackin dropped on a blob of brown ink. Thus, if a blk. If one or more puppies are brown, with this blk. Two blks. I have heard of blk. However, since different lines and families of poodles seem to act differently, it is, I suppose, accident eliminated possible. All I have ever seen is that in a litter of browns the darkest will be, at maturity, as dark or nearly as dark as the darkest parent and the lightest in the litter, as light or lighter than, the lightest brown parent. To obtain really dark browns they must either be bred from very dark almost nonfading browns or from blacks which stay black. Any fading or diluting factor will make browns fade out. The best way to achieve this is, of course, to take always the deepest black which holds it's color and the darkest brown which does not fade in every litter and breed them generation after generation taking care when doing so to also take the darkest eye and the best pigmentthis may be the best way to achieve the darkest color but it also could result in an otherwise less desirable dog. Even with all the problems and pitfalls possible in the breeding of these darkest browns, it is truly an exciting and sought after colorsought after also by our buying public. The public is most important, I am sure you will have to agree. They too will wait a long time for a really great colored brown for, as I have said, "those that love this color TRULY love and appreciate it. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. Next you will meet our canine Gentlemen in living color and view their slide shows, pedigrees, height, weight and any testing results. They are kind enough to put up with us and our all night puppy deliveries. They deal with cancelled plans because a sweet mom decides she just has to have her puppies right then! Blake, my husband, as you probably have already read, is the love of my life. On July 28, we welcomed our bouncing baby boy, named Dustin Blake Sauls. So at that time we decided for Blake to take on all the responsibility of our home and he become a stay at home dad. Blake can be found cleaning, cooking, washing clothes and his favorite duty, taking wonderful care of Dustin when I am unable to do so. Even when I am able, he is right by my side helping. Clearly, we are a team. Before he became a dad, he did a lot of our grooming prior to Darlene starting with us on a full time basis. He kept all of our water troughs, tubs and pools clean and disinfected. Blake helped with the mowing, weed eating and other lawn maintenance. Unlike my daddy, Blake was raised in the city. I am sure as a young man he never dreamed he would be working full time putting up fences, taking care of a mini farm or grooming a Standard Poodle. Not only has he hung right in there and learned a lot from my daddy, he truly loves his new farm life. Blake will still runs errands like picking up dog food and other supplies if needed. He will also transport a puppy to the airport to be shipped and does a lot of our personal regional puppy deliveries as well. In Blake became EMS certified, which has come in handy occasionally here at the farm and in our home. Blake is a very soft spoken, quiet and mellow blessing in my life. Simple things we do together bring certain tranquility to my life that I have come to treasure. I cannot imagine loving any one more and I thank God every day for blessing me with a husband and an amazing father to our son, like Blake. He is has spent several years being a builder so his expertise in the construction of our facility has been irreplaceable. His hands have touched every fence post, shingle, nail and painted wall on the property. You will occasionally see him doing a two-step dance step while singing this tune. He brings a sense of humor to everything he does. My daddy is very out spoken and a little loud sometimes. He is very driven and sometimes forgets to slow down and enjoy life. But on the other hand my daddy has always loved babies of any kind and the puppies are no exception. Quite often we find him holding a newborn or talking to an older puppy while giving them a pat on the head or a big bear hug. Luckily for my dad, we have been able to bring on two amazing young men who have taken over the very difficult and labor intensive duties that my he did in the beginning. You will read more about Zack and Cody below. My dad has gone back to his passion of driving a truck for a great company out of Wilson, NC, S. The twelve rolling acres, called Arrowhead Acres, located in Spring Hope, North Carolina is a long awaited dream come true for my mama and daddy. In Arrowhead Acres became our home as well. Blake and I are very thankful for our parents. Without their support thru the years, our life would have been much more difficult. Before my sister Holley decided to return to showing horses, my brother-in-law Brian could always be counted on to help when there was manual labor to be done. Brian puts on an air that he is not interested in the Poodles, but we know different and have caught him many times in the act of cuddling our Standard adults and babies! He loves the puppies too! He and my daddy would sometimes disappear for a couple of hours leaving us to tend to the canine members of our family and a while they will walk out on the back porch and yell, letting us know that our dinner is ready. We make our way to the house and walk into a meal of grilled chicken, steak or ribs with all the fixings. We can count on any one of the three to make us smile. Of course they are men and we are women, so they will make us cry from time to time. My little brother Luke and nephew Scott have always lent a helping hand. They love working with their daddies. They are like little men taking all the responsibilities assigned to them quite seriously. They both love to hunt with my daddy. Now that Scott is a teenager he works right along side with his dad at the tire shop he owns, Woodruff Tire, and can be seen driving a tractor around their farm. Luke has become a great helper here on our farm. When anybody needs a helping hand he is the one that always volunteers first. Luke can also be found out in the maintenance shop helping his dad change oil in our vehicles and farm equipment and sharping the blades for the lawn tractors. We never know what they will be into next. But he did such a good job we offered him a full time position which he graciously accepted. He keeps all of our water troughs, tubs and pools clean and disinfected. Our Standard adults have free feeding available at all times and Cody keeps all the feeders clean and inspected for bugs as well as keeping them filled with feed. This is not a hard job to do, but a hard job to do well! It takes up a lot of time. Cody helps Zack in the well care of our horses and keeps the stalls and barn clean. We concentrated on the two conformations of Standard Poodles. The Standard Poodle Club of America is, of course, made up of humans. They are pretty special, amazing and dedicated humans. They write the standards for the breed, and the standard has to some extent changed the original look and purpose of the Standard Poodle. Our primary goal is to enrich the very small gene bank of the Standard Poodle pedigrees, which is and will continue to be the best weapon against genetic disorders. The preceding statements may raise some eyebrows and ruffle some feathers. It might even become a topic on Poodle Forum, but we stand firm in our belief and respect those who disagree. We have added, in after lots of research and prayer, the ability to produce the very controversial colors of phantom Standard Poodles and parti Standard Poodles. Although these colors are permitted registration with the American Kennel Club, we hope someday these colors will be accepted on a higher level with AKC, by allowing the color variety in the show ring, just as in the cocker spaniels and other breeds of color are shown in the ring.

Here at Family Affair we will continue to learn and grow.

Final Thoughts A 3 month old German Shepherd is still fluffy and cute, but it has changed a lot in comparison to its early days. It has become pretty tall, about one foot in height, with long paws and an extreme desire to chew something. Put away all your shoes, socks, or clothes because they may suffer badly from its teeth. Instead, buy entertaining chew toys and collect all your patience. You need to take proper care of your pup and keep its immense energy under control. So, you need to know how to train your German Shepherd for a happy and healthy future. This guide will help you learn more and let your ideal doggy live a long life full of positive experiences and adventures. If you have a boy, its height will be about inches cm. Girls are a bit lower at this age — they are about inches cm tall. You can also notice the increase in weight. The 3 month old German Shepherd weight can differ depending on several factors. Males can weigh pounds kg , while females weigh pounds kg. However, they can be even smaller if they belong to a working line. The gender difference becomes apparent at this age. The weight can also depend on the diet you feed your pup. The changes in appearance also include the teething stage. At this time, your pup has all its milk teeth, so adult teeth growth starts. It will last for a few months until all the puppy teeth will be replaced. You will notice one more dramatic change. It concerns the coat. Its fluffy and fuzzy nature will disappear because the adult fur starts growing. You will see a racing stripe on the back to show that the puppy coat has started to be replaced. Your pup still has floppy ears that can stand straight from time to time. Though, you need to understand that during this period, the ears will not stand up steadily because teething needs a lot of calcium, and the ear cartilage cannot harden properly. You will see a lot of improvements and a steadier ear position in a month or so. Remember not to pat your little one on the ears or head, or you may damage the cartilage. It will last until your puppy is 6 months old and is characterized by immense energy, curiosity, and getting into trouble here and there. That is why socialization and training are so important in this period. German Shepherd puppies at this age are very energetic. Though they look more grown-up than ever, their puppy nature always gets them into trouble, so you need to remain as patient as you can to train your little one the proper behavior. Your pup may jump at people and bite them. Praise it with a treat if it can abstain from doing that. Since your 3 month old German Shepherd puppy is full of energy, it needs a lot of exercise. Keep it busy all the time, but not make it do something heavy for a long time because it may have severe negative consequences on its health. Take it for walks as often as you can. A minute walk is enough. The distance your pup can walk is up to 6 miles 9. Moreover, your doggy needs a lot of other exercises. It can be a combination of playing fetch, running, and aerobic activities. You can make it play with a rubber toy or do some strength training. Once again, one-time sessions should not be very long. If you cannot take your pup outside for a walk because it is very cold, play with it inside. It can be playing with a puzzle toy or hiding something in the house and asking your dog to find it. If you have a car, you can take your puppy on a ride to provide it with more experience. Overexercising can lead to problems with joints, so you need to be very careful. The sleeping schedule of your puppy also changes a little at this age. It is approximately hours per day. It can also wake you up at night and require playing or going potty. It is normal at this age. The fastest sleep for it is before dawn. If you hesitate about how much your German Shepherd should sleep now, or whether it needs some sleep during the daytime, you can consult your vet. Health and Care Your 12 week old German Shepherd grows fast, and it looks healthy. However, you need to be aware of possible health issues at this age to be careful about. The first thing you have to keep in mind is weighing and measuring your doggy regularly. At this point, you should also provide it with the second set of vaccinations. It includes parvovirus, parainfluenza, hepatitis, and distemper. Keep to a healthy and nutritious diet. If you have any doubts about the possibility of hereditary health conditions, get a DNA test. It is especially important if you want to prevent degenerative myelopathy. Even if your pup is healthy and merry, you need to take care of it regularly. Healthy diets, frequent walks, and enough exercise are all indisputable components of good puppy care. Remember to groom and brush your doggy just twice per week. Changing the coat to an adult one will lead to excessive shedding. Try to help your pet get rid of the fur that is not needed anymore. You can even develop a specific schedule for grooming or make an appointment with a professional if you are not sure how to do it properly. That can be a regular playdate with your dog-loving friends and their pets. Or you can help your pup meet new friends when you are walking with it in the park. Potty walks are an essential part of care. A 3 month old GSD can hold its bladder for an hour or so. That is why you need to keep an eye on it and let it eliminate whenever it is needed without unnecessary inside accidents. Your little one needs only healthy nutrition to grow strong and intelligent. Be attentive about treats. Obesity can cause other health problems with the heart, kidneys, and joints. Develop a feeding schedule and try to stick to it. If the puppy leaves some food in the bowl, take it away. Never leave the leftovers in the bowl, or your puppy will come back to them later, and it will be impossible to establish a feeding schedule. That will lead to potty accidents and digestion issues. The diet has to be rich in protein, but be sure that it does not contain too much fat. The food should also contain phosphorus, calcium, and vitamins. You can use vitamin supplements meant for German Shepherd puppies, but never opt for those that are for humans or adult dogs. The schedule is very important for your pet. If you establish it at three feeding times per day, try to keep to it. Distribute the amount of food evenly throughout all meals. Never feed your doggy immediately before going to bed. Provide it with enough water. Fresh water is essential for puppies, so the bowl full has to be around all the time. You do not need to take it away. It starts understanding what is going on around it. So, it needs proper training at this age. It should also learn how to interact with other animals and people. Obedience training is essential at this time. Your puppy may not master all of them at once because its attention span is rather short, so be patient enough to repeat them again and again. Only after you see that your pet is confident about these commands, you may continue with more complicated ones. Never punish or beat your puppy if something does not go well. Positive reinforcement is always your priority. Never forget to praise your little dog and give it treats if it has done something well. Your doggy should also know how to deal with other dogs. If you have a friend with a dog, invite them to your place or pay a visit to them with your pup. Your doggy will feel more confident if it knows how to build trust and socialize with other living beings. Training is very important during this period. So, if you have not started doing it yet, begin your training sessions immediately. Your doggy should see a leader of the pack in you, so be as persistent and confident as possible. If you have some difficulties, it is better to seek the help of an expert. You should be prepared to spend a lot of time training your pup. It may not be so easy at first, but it is certain to be rewarding. The height of your puppy changes very quickly because its intensive growth continues.

You will notice some changes in the sleep schedule of your pup. It needs less sleep, but the overall sleeping time is about hours per day, including day naps. The puppy can still wake you up at night for playing or potty. Though, this will happen more rarely. How far can a 3 month old German Shepherd walk? How much exercise should a 3 month old GSD get? The puppy needs a lot of exercise at this age. At least 30 minutes per session can help it grow smart, alert, and strong. Walking and running for about 15 minutes can be a part of this exercise. However, you can include playing games into the sessions. Final Thoughts The first thing you need to remember when you have decided that a German Shepherd is a good breed for you is to be ready for taking a huge responsibility. Be patient and positive. Never punish, shout at it, or beat it. However, you have to be consistent and demanding to let your 3 month old German Shepherd puppy feel that you are its leader, and it should follow and trust you.

At 6—8 weeks, their first shot from the vet is due. Smith, Shutterstock 12 weeks is a turning point for your pup. Their coordination will come on in bounds, as will their learning and social skills. They will be eager to learn but easily distracted, so have plenty of patience. If you become angry, it will stunt development if they become fearful of you. Your pup is officially into the juvenile period now. All of his puppy teeth should be developed by now and are normally very sharp. So, beware of your fingers when playing. At 12 weeks of age, puppies can start to eat three to four set meals a day with measured amounts. Purpose-made dog-approved chew toys are best, not teddy bears or old shoes. As they grow through this period between three and six months, GSD puppies are more juvenile than babies. They will be more boisterous and energetic. But on the plus side will feed easily, be more friendly with animals and people alike, and more than likely be housetrained if you have managed them correctly. They will be stubborn at this age when training and could ignore you, or not come when called. The best approach is to ignore any sassy attitude and only praise and fuss when back to being obedient. His internal organs and systems are fully developed and functioning as they should, while the skeleton is still growing. His full set of adult teeth should be present and correct. Your GSD is now becoming independent and will want to roam different areas and interact with their world on many more levels. Be aware that they could weigh 50 lbs at 6 months, so caution is needed with control and safety as they explore. He may also seemingly forget commands that he has been taught. It is best to ignore, not mollycoddle, any fearful reactions to new things to not reinforce the negative behaviors. By 6 months of age, you can reduce the feedings to three per day, now paying attention to the total calories consumed. Between the ages of 4—6 months, he will shed his puppy coat too. He might still be a bit goofy, gangly, and stubborn when it comes to training. German Shepherd females are reaching sexual maturity at this age. They may have their first estrus heat period. So, be mindful of letting them off the lead during this time if other dogs are around. At 9 months, your GSD can be tested for heartworm and treated if needs be.

Making it the optimal time to stimulate them as much as you can with obedience training and work activities.

Their unique personality and quirks should be apparent and set them apart as your dog. They will have developed vocal and body language traits that you recognize and use for their needs. If male, he will be reaching sexual maturity and cocking his leg when urinating. He might also be looking to challenge dogs and humans for the title of pack leader.

German Shepherds stop growing between 2 and 3 years. This is when they fill out too. It starts to slow at around the age of 1, but he will continue to grow until he reaches maturity. During this time, they are considered to be adolescents. This is the same for their mental maturity too. This is the same for all German Shepherd types. Females tend to mature faster, both physically and mentally, than male German Shepherds. There are different stages within this time frame before maturity. And these are the neonatal stage 1—2 weeks , the transitional stage 2—4 weeks , the socialization stage 4 weeks to 3 months , the juvenile stage 3—6 months , and the adolescent stage 6 months to 2 years. Research has shown that neutering dogs can affect their growth. But how exactly? But early indications show that early neutering can increase the length of time that the bone grows. Meaning potentially taller dogs. But this also poses questions about whether this affects the joint alignment and whether it can cause any problems. And for the German Shepherd breed and his heightened propensity for hip dysplasia, this is a concern to be aware of. But waiting for full skeletal maturity also poses risks. Because neutering for females can reduce mammary cancer. If spayed before her first heat, it can eliminate the chances of this type of cancer altogether. As they will be able to offer you tailored advice for your German Shepherd. Dangers of Growing Too Quickly or Stunted Growth The dangers of growing too fast can affect their skeletal development. Conditions caused by growing too quickly are joint dysplasia and osteochondrosis. By feeding him a kibble that is designed for large-breed puppies will help control the rate at which his bones grow. This is because they have the optimum ratio of calcium and phosphorus levels in the food. So, always feed him large-breed puppy food during his developmental stage. This is most common in German Shepherds, but also in some Labrador Retrievers. It is an inherited disorder of growth hormone deficiency, and it will make the affected pooch always appear puppy-like. Growth Distinctions of Different German Shepherds. This also means that you will have to care for the puppy even more than ever. Proper medical attention, regular walks, etc. But how exactly do you care for such a puppy? The weight of a male German Shepherd increases at a very high rate, about 1 kg 2 lbs per week, and thus at the age of 9 weeks, it would weigh 9 to 10 kg 18 — 20 lbs. As for the female counterpart, the weight is slightly smaller by 2 kg, or 4 lbs. At this point, both dog genders should be 12 to 15 inches in height. With that said, a puppy that weighs 3 to 4 kg 6 to 8 lbs less than expected is probably not fed correctly, the same goes for the other side. Training If you are wondering, you indeed can train such a young puppy, although it can learn much fewer tricks than an adult dog would. Mainly what you want to focus on is bite inhibition, as random biting is an extremely often problem throughout all individual German Shepherds. Other tricks may include: The give paw command. Quite easy to teach and simple to learn, especially for a German Shepherd. It would be a good idea to teach a puppy these tricks, as they may be necessary for further training in the future. Without it, the dog may be overly aggressive in the future. So be careful. It is obvious, that leaving a dog without care would be equal to abandoning it. So, it is fully up to you to feed, groom, heal and play with that German Shepherd of yours. On the bright side of things, the said puppy is much more independent than before and will help you care for itself. Pay attention! Analise that information and fix the diet if needed. The amount of things you have to worry about is increased. Additionally, the pet at this point actively learns from its environment.

Your tiny, cute German Shepherd puppy will likely grow into a medium-sized or large dog. Females will probably weigh in on the medium side, while males can get pretty big. GSD puppies experience a phenomenal rate of growth, especially before six months, so be ready. Just remember that dogs as big as male German Shepherds are at risk for joint problems because they grow so quickly, and overfeeding them can exacerbate those problems as they get older. Factors Effecting German Shepherd Size German Shepherd size is dependent on age, but there are many other factors too. Female Shepherds are smaller and lighter than males. How your dog is fed and exercised will play a part. In this article we will look at the height and weight of GSDs at different stages of their development. And at what you might expect your cute German Shepherd puppy to measure and weigh when they are a full grown German Shepherd Dog. German Shepherds are the third most popular dog in the USA right now, having been recently nudged down a place by the French Bulldog. The breed belongs to the Pastoral group of dogs traditionally used as herding dogs. Some shepherd breeds were also used to guard livestock. German Shepherd Dog size is linked to this important role. The German Shepherd temperament is also tied in with this purpose and has made them uniquely suited to work as a service dog. With the right training, German Shepherd dogs also make excellent family pets. Working German Shepherd Size Because of their dual purpose as both herding and guard dogs, they are one of the larger shepherd dog breeds. He also turned to refining them into good police and guard dogs, creating a very versatile breed still in demand as herding became less common. German dog breeds became unpopular during the second world war and lovers of the breed began referring to them as the Alsatian dog, to protect their dogs from anti-German sentiment. They are easily trained, so they make good show and work dogs. Specifically with weight and growth rate. Being overweight can be harmful to German Shepherd health, just as it can to other breeds. Black German Shepherd puppies weigh the same as pups of other colors Weight issues in adult dogs is not the only area of concern, GSDs are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, which has been linked in some cases to overly rapid growth in puppies. They also suffer fromosteochondritis dissecans, disorders of the pancreas, panosteitis causing lameness, eye and ear issues, and allergies. And are vulnerable to bloat. In addition, some GSDs have deeply sloping backs and angulation in the legs that may be causing health issues. German Shepherd Puppy Size An average weight of German Shepherd puppies, according to a giant census study of dogs in Italy, is about grams or 1. A baby German Shepherd can range from 0. By about a week of age, they will weigh 1. This is one of the reasons why large breed-specific dog foods exist: to control the growth of these dogs in a way that will maximize their health and minimize joint problems. But up to 3 or 4lbs either side of that is normal. At this age most puppies are settled in with their new families and are on three meals a day. At this age pups can look quite gawky and skinny. Growth rate starts to really slow down now and many dogs will look a lot less puppyish than they did a month ago 9 month old German Shepherd puppy By nine months, your Shepherd will weigh between .At that point, the dog is about 90 percent of his or her adult weight. But in the coming months your pup will fill out, look less gawky, and may carry on gaining weight for another months. Bear in mind that this should be muscle gain, not fat, so keep an eye on that waistline! German Shepherd puppies generally stop growing significantly in height by nine months for males, eight months for females. Males may get an extra inch by 15 months and females slightly less than that by months. They reach their adult weight at 36 months. GSDs, like many larger breeds, are considered fully grown by about 18 months, when they have reached 98 percent of their growth. A golden shepherd golden retriever shepherd mix may be very similar but a shepherd mix dog where one parent is much smaller, will not. The answer is no, not really, though it is possible to harm your dog by overfeeding either as a puppy or an adult. German Shepherd dogs will no longer grow in height after 36 months of age, or three years. Dog individuals vary, just like human individuals do. You can ask your vet for a weigh in and a check up to discuss any concerns Average German Shepherd Height On average, male German shepherds reach a larger size when adult than females. So your girl German Shepherd is likely to be a little smaller than her brothers when she is full grown. The German Shepherd breed standard specifies that a good height for adult male German Shepherds is inches at the withers. For females, a size of inches at the withers is about right. How tall is a German Shepherd — length vs height These dogs are longer than they are tall. Fully grown male German Shepherd size is usually between inches tall and lbs. And adult female German Shepherd size is typically within inches tall and lb. However, you can expect your male GSD to weight about 80 lbs by 18 months of age, and 84 lbs by 36 months of age. Female German Shepherd weight is going to be less than male, the average weight at 18 months of age is about 62 lbs. But a good weight for females can like anywhere from lbs, and a good weight for males will be anywhere from lbs, depending on individual factors. Shepherds are often not as greedy as some other popular dog breeds, but obesity can still be a problem in this breed. Remember that exercise or lack of it is rarely at the heart of excessive weight issues in dogs. The problem is almost always too much food. Red German Shepherd Some slight weight loss may occur naturally in an old german shepherd. Older dogs may lose their sense of taste or smell and have less of an appetite than they did when young. However, there are certain breeds that are easier to train than others. Thankfully, German Shepherds fit into that category because they are very intelligent and quick learners. This includes house training , crate training , basic obedience commands as well as learning tricks. We recommend attending a puppy kindergarten class as part of your German Shepherd puppy socialization strategy. Once your pup knows their basic obedience commands, you can enroll them in Schutzhund training aka IPO. Partnership and teamwork between yourself and your dog are the basis for this type of training. Note that the Schutzhund environment is not a place for dogs with aggression issues, neither towards other dogs nor people! If they pass that initial level which includes a temperament test, they can move on to IPO 2 minimum age 19 months and IPO 3 minimum age 20 months. That said, protection dog trainers recommend starting training classes that include bitework and high jumps once your German Shepherd puppy is 12 months old. Dutch and Czech are two other languages that commands are frequently taught in. Stanley, my former long-haired GSD dog walking client, started going to Schutzhund training when he was a little over 12 months old. His owners practiced commands in German with him on a daily basis, and I remember getting a print out of his German commands as they asked me to use them on our walks as well. Lots, ha! German Shepherds need a minimum of 2 hours of physical exercise per day, but generally speaking, the more exercise you can provide your GSD with, the more they will thrive. Remember, German Shepherds are high-energy, athletic dogs bred to be active all day long, especially if they come from a working line! Physical Exercise Ideas for German Shepherds As far as physical exercise, this can be a mix of walks, runs, bike rides, fetch and playtime. This is Nala, one of my former pet sitting clients. She was crazy about frisbees and balls. One of my favorite ways of increasing the energy and calories a dog burns on a regular walk or hike is by using a doggie backpack. Mental Stimulation for German Shepherds Besides providing a good physical workout, dog backpacks also burn mental energy. As you probably know, bored dogs can quickly become destructive as they figure out ways of entertaining themselves. For example, chewing up your furniture and shoes, scratching doors, raiding your kitchen trash can or digging up your flower beds. So do yourself a favor and make sure your GSD gets plenty of exercise on a daily basis. Remember, a tired dog is a good dog, and that applies to German Shepherds as much as it does to any other dog breed! Former GSD client Remi pooped after a long walk. Bottom Line So, how big does a German Shepherd get? Well, German Shepherds are medium to large size dogs, so they can weigh anywhere between lbs. That said, the average expected weight for a male GSD is between lbs, and the average expected weight for a female GSD is between lbs. Both reach sexual maturity somewhere between months and are considered fully grown at about the 2 year mark. Keeping that in mind, your GSD breeder should be able to give you a good general idea of how big your German Shepherd puppy will grow to be! Helps ease anxiety in their new home.

When your German Shepherd is the ideal weight, you can feel their ribs, although they are not easily seen, and they are not covered in a layer of fat. There should be a defined waistline when your dog is viewed from above and a noticeable tummy tuck when they are viewed from the side. Underweight German Shepherds While German Shepherds are growing, they will be thinner and look gangly until they fill out in adulthood. It is sometimes recommended to keep your growing German Shepherd marginally underweight but not unhealthily thin while their joints grow and strengthen. Purina defines two levels of underweight: thin and slightly underweight. Thin: Ribs, hips, and spine are easily felt, and there is no fat covering the sides and back. There is noticeable muscle loss around shoulders and thighs, an overly pronounced waistline from the top view, and an overly pronounced tummy tuck from the side view. Slightly underweight: Ribs can be easily felt, hips and spine may be slightly visible if your German Shepherd has shorter hair, but there is no fat covering. There is an obvious waistline from above and a marked tummy tuck from the side. If your German Shepherd is underweight or thin, speak to your veterinarian. It could be that they are just growing quickly, often becoming lightly underweight after a growth spurt and then putting weight on until the next growth spurt. You may just need to change their food or feed them larger and more frequent meals. However, their low weight may indicate parasites or another underlying medical condition. Elderly German Shepherds can struggle with being underweight. This is why senior dog foods typically have a higher calorie count. Overweight German Shepherds It is important to prevent your German Shepherd from becoming overweight while they are growing. Extra weight on developing joints and muscles can cause problems. German Shepherds can also suffer from hip dysplasia, which is worsened by excess weight. Other excessive weight-related conditions include diabetes, pancreatitis, heart problems, respiratory problems, kidney disease, and arthritis. Related: German Shepherd Joint Problems: All You Need to Know Your German Shepherd is not likely to become overweight in the first 9 months of their lives because their growth rate easily matches their calorie intake. When your German Shepherd reaches 9 months, growth slows down significantly, and you may need to adjust their food quantities to account for this sudden reduction in calorie requirements. A helpful tip is to switch to low-calorie treats during this stage, especially considering training needs to intensify, and people often use treats for positive reinforcement incentives. And instead of switching to a calorie-restricted food or reducing the amount you feed your German Shepherd, speak to a veterinarian about switching from puppy food to adult food. Purina defines four levels of overweight: slightly overweight, markedly overweight, obese, and clinically obese. Slightly overweight: Ribs can be felt slightly, but there is an obvious layer of fat covering the ribcage and back. There is a slight waistline when viewed from the top, but it is not clear. There is a slight tummy tuck towards the hind legs when viewed from the side. Markedly overweight: Ribs are not easily felt, and there is an obvious layer of fat over the ribcage. There are fatty pads along the lower back and at the base of the tail, making the waistline absent when viewed from above. Obese: Ribs are difficult to feel because of the fatty layer covering them. There are significant fatty pads along the lower back and at the base of the tail, making the waistline absent when viewed from above. And the tummy bulges outward and sags slightly when viewed from the side. Clinically obese: Ribs cannot be felt under the fatty layer. There are significant fatty pads around the neck and legs, along the lower back, and at the base of the tail. The waistline is absent when viewed from above. The tummy significantly bulges and sags when viewed from the side. Miniature German Shepherds are much smaller and have completely different development requirements and problems. Final Thoughts The weight and growth charts provided in this article are designed to provide guidelines for the developmental milestones your puppy should be reaching in the first years of its life. Male German Shepherds are bigger and heavier than females, and from weeks old, these differences become apparent. Although males and females have different weight and height targets at each stage, they should hit the same percentages of their adult weight at the same age. If your puppy is slightly above or below the average weight or height at a given age, it does not mean that there is a problem. However, if your German Shepherd puppy starts to fall more and more behind, or if they miss other developmental milestones other than weight and height, it may indicate an underlying medical condition, and you will need to take your dog to see a veterinarian. Deficiencies in weight can compromise growth and the general condition of your German Shepherd, and excess weight can cause joint injury and other serious medical conditions. Keep all of these things in mind and be observant of your growing pup and how you approach feeding and training in accordance. By doing this, you will ensure that you have a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted German Shepherd for many years to come!

Their beauty, athleticism, smarts, attitude. To me it was the perfect package. So I went out looking for one. Of course, I made all the first time buyer mistakes as well. I knew nothing of reputable breeders, health testing, titles and temperment evaluations, and I bought my first female Lily out of the paper. She is not conformatally correct, but luckily she had a friendly, though shy temperament and beyond all luck, she lived until 3 months shy of 14 years old! Lily was your typical velcro dobe and was happiest when she was right next to me. In , When Lily was 5, I decided to add to my doberman family, and this time looked for a top notch breeder. Someone who was breeding for health and solid teperament, and was active in the dog world working and putting titles on their dogs. He sold me a male out of a great litter, and I named him Strider. Strider was everything you could ask for in a doberman. He was a great example of the breed both physically and mentally. He was beautiful and bomb proof and bold as brass. He was funny, full of himself, and beyond confident. Friendly with both humans and dogs, he became a certified therpay dog and went to hopspitals and old age homes regularly to visit people who wanted to spend time with a dog. I lost Strider just shy of his 7th birthday to complications of Lymphoma. He did six months of chemo and two half body radiations and was cancer free to the end. Many thanks to the team at the OVC in Guelph. He was such a good boy. After I lost Strider, I decided to persue a dream I had always had, but not been able to fulfill. To show my own doberman in the conformation ring and get a championship. With my work schedule for the past 20 years, that would have been impossible. Working on stage and only having Mondays off really does not leave you much opportunity to go to dog shows or competitions on the weekends! One of the trade offs for a life in the theatre!!! So in January , I blocked off time and bought myself a 'show dog'! I contacted Sandra Hunter of Bruda Dobermans in Chicago, and I was lucky enough to get one of the two show males she had held back. I named him Rudolph, as I got him just after Christmas, and as he is red and looks like a reindeer. Rudy was to be my first 'show' dog and boy did he teach me a thing or two about training a dog for the ring! Rudy finished his Canadian Championship owner handled in Novemeber of .Rudy is also involved in agility. The show bug caught, and I wanted a great quality bitch to show and to hopefully become my foundation bitch of my own breeding program in the future. As they say, the universe shows you the way and things happen for a reason. I was not really actively looking for said bitch, as Rudy was still young and I had things I wanted to do with him first but a casual email turned into one of the best things that could have happened! Their male special Gage, was a dog that not only was so impressive to look at but who reminded me a lot of Strider. Both American and Canadian Grand Champions and both exceptional representations of the breed. Quite the accomplishement as Gage is owner handled by Greg. So it came to be that I would get a show bitch from this fantastic breeding, and I named her Vega after the star! Vega, the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. Vega has been extensively studied by astronomers, leading it to be termed "arguably the next most important star in the sky after the Sun. Bold as brass. She is beautiful and bombproof. She's never spooked, she adjusts to new situations in seconds, and is happy and inquisitive all the time. A little Jumping bean! She was an easy dog to handle in the ring and I finished her Canadian Championship at 8 months, with a best puppy in group. She finished her American Championship with 4 Majors, 2 of which she won on the competitive Florida circuit. Fantastic support, mentorship and friendship. And that is what I intend to offer all of my own puppy buyers in the future. Support, mentorship and friendship.

Should a Doberman Mix take after their Doberman Pinscher parent, they will be a large, powerful, and protective dog that is affectionate with their families. They may look imposing as they grow, but they are playful, energetic dogs that can make great family pets. Doberman Pinschers are quintessential protectors. As such, they require a lot of training and socialization to become a happy, well-balanced, and well-mannered dog. A properly socialized and trained Doberman is fiercely loyal to their families and is also a loving companion with a fun personality. As long as they are properly trained and socialized, they tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and even other pets. If a Doberman Mix takes after their Doberman Pinscher parent, then you can expect a similar temperament. However, the other parent breed will likely introduce some other potential traits and quirks, so you do want to ask the breeder about them. You can also meet the mother dog in-person to get an idea of her temperament and to see the behavior she is modeling for her puppies. The breeder should be starting socialization and training. Dobermans are moderately adaptable dogs. Because of their large size and high energy, they are better suited to homes with yards where they can run. They can adapt to apartment living, but you will need to dedicate a lot of time every day to making sure they get the exercise and attention they need to be happy and healthy. Doberman Pinschers do well in most climates. As with any dog breed, they are sensitive to heat. Because of their short coat, they may need to bundle up in some winter dog products to stay warm on walks during the winter. They also do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. If the other parent breed is similar in terms of adaptability, then you can expect the same from a Doberman Mix. You still want to ask the breeder about the other parent breed so you have a better idea of what mix of traits and quirks a Doberman Mix puppy could end up with. Mixed-breed dogs are sometimes healthier than purebred dogs. The other parent breed will have their own set of potential health concerns, so you want to ask the breeder about them. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to help avoid passing issues on to puppies. So, you should be planning to ask about the health and genetic history of both of the parents anyway. You can also ask about any relevant health tests or clearances that have been done. Doberman Pinschers are also one of the dog breeds at a higher risk for developing bloat and a Doberman Mix will likely have the same risk. Bloat in dogs is a serious condition that can quickly become fatal if gastric torsion occurs. Although Dobermans are highly intelligent dogs that pick up on things quickly and are eager to please, they are also strong, powerful dogs with a strong will as well. If they are not socialized properly or well-trained, they can become unmanageable, destructive, and pushy. Because of this, a Doberman Pinscher is usually better suited to more experienced owners. Novice owners can do well with this breed, but obedience classes or enlisting the help of a professional trainer is highly recommended. The other parent breed could make a Doberman Mix easier or more difficult to train. Make sure you ask the breeder about them and then be prepared to enroll in training classes either way. A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one of their parent breeds or a coat that is truly a mix of both. Should a Doberman Mix end up with a Doberman coat, it will be short and will shed a little year-round. A quick daily brushing and the occasional bath is enough to keep this coat healthy. Good dental care for dogs is often overlooked, which is why gum disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Brushing teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day helps prevent painful dental diseases later in life. A Doberman Pinscher is a high-energy dog breed that needs a lot of exercise to be happy and healthy. Daily walks plus playtime and time to run or another activity are usually enough for this dog. But, they are happy to be active with you, so they will likely be up for activity if you are. These dogs are powerful, athletic, and versatile. So, once puppies finish growing , you can try a wide variety of activities with them. You can try hiking, swimming, running, playing frisbee, training for dog sports, and more. If the other parent breed is also a high-energy dog breed, then you can expect your Doberman Mix to be a high-energy dog as well. Even if the other parent breed has a lower activity level, you will still need to be prepared for the potential of a high-energy dog. A fully-grown Doberman Pinscher is usually inches tall and weighs pounds. The other parent breed can affect this, so you want to ask the breeder about them and also pay attention to which breed is the mother. Although it is not a guarantee, you can also meet the mother dog in-person. This can give you some idea of what size to expect in a fully-grown Doberman Mix. A Doberman generally lives for years. The other parent breed may affect this slightly, but you can likely expect a similar life span in a Doberman Mix. Featured Doberman Mix Article. Life Span Did You Know? The Doberman Pinscher is one of the dog breeds that make good guard dogs. In fact, they are known as one of the most effective guard dogs in the world. The Doberman Pinscher was first bred by a man named Louis Dobermann, a German tax collector around who wanted a guard dog that was also a suitable companion. The Doberman breed was created with a melting pot of different breeds that include the Old Shorthaired Shepherd, Rottweiler , Black and Tan Terrier, and the German Pinscher , among others. There was a time when Dobermans were bred with the intention of creating an aggressive breed, which led to a reputation that still precedes them. The AKC recognized the Doberman Pinscher in as a member of the Working Group and they are still one of the most popular working breeds. Today, the Doberman can be found as a loyal family companion and working as search and rescue dogs, military dogs, police dogs, therapy dogs, and service dogs. They are even one of the popular show dog breeds and are often found competing in dog sports. The Doberman may grow into a large, powerful dog with an intimidating reputation, but they are loving and affectionate with their families. In fact, one of the facts about Doberman Pinschers is that they are extremely affectionate towards their owners. They tend to get along well with children, dogs, and other pets in the family. They are protective and are initially suspicious of strangers, but they tend to warm up once introduced as long as they are well-socialized. Because they are protective and vigilant watchdogs, a Doberman Pinscher will bark to alert you. But, they do not tend to bark a lot unless they have been trained into it or are poorly socialized. In addition to ongoing socialization, you can also train your dog to stop barking early on to keep it from becoming a nuisance. Doberman Pinschers are moderately adaptable dog breeds. Although they can adapt to smaller homes if enough time is dedicated to giving them the exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need every day, their large size and high energy level can be an obstacle in small living spaces. They are best suited to homes with enough room for them to move around and fenced yards where they can run. They are sensitive to heat. Their short coat also does not provide much insulation from the cold, so they may need some winter dog products to stay warm while out on walks when temperatures drop. As a protective and affectionate dog that bonds closely with their families, Dobermans do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. They also get bored easily and can become destructive if they are left on their own. Good breeding practices make a big difference in the health of puppies. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. Make sure you are asking about the health and genetic history of both parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. As a large, barrel-chested breed, the Doberman Pinscher is at risk for bloat. The Doberman Pinscher is one of the smartest dog breeds in the world, so it is no surprise that they pick up on things quickly. Although a Doberman can be eager to please, they also tend to be strong-willed. Once you have a strong bond with them and their respect, they will strive to please you provided expectations are clear and consistent during training. Training classes or working with a professional trainer are recommended, even for experienced owners. If not socialized well or trained properly, these dogs can become destructive, unmanageable, and aggressive. Doberman Pinschers have short coats that shed a little year-round. Weekly brushing or brushing a few times a week along with the occasional bath is usually enough to keep their coat healthy and looking great. Cutting nails once or twice a month keeps nails from growing too long. Checking ears weekly and carefully cleaning them as needed can help prevent ear infections. Ideal dental care for dogs starts with daily tooth brushing and cleanings at the vet when needed. Starting a good dental care routine early and maintaining it consistently can help prevent painful dental diseases later in life. Doberman Pinschers are high-energy dogs that are very energetic, very playful, and also very hardworking. They require a lot of exercise every day and need a job to do to be happy and healthy. Daily walks plus playtime, time to run, and other activities are usually enough, but Dobermans will often be up for more activity if you are. They are athletic and versatile dogs, so once puppies finish growing and developing, you can try a lot of things with them. Playing frisbee, running, hiking, swimming, and more are all things you and your Doberman might enjoy together. Doberman Pinschers tend to excel at agility, tracking, obedience, rally, fly ball, dock diving , and more. Fully-grown Doberman Pinschers usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds. Doberman Pinschers generally live for years on average. The U. Marine Corps Dobermans of the Pacific were dedicated to the war effort and increased the fame and popularity of the breed. Twenty-five military dogs died during the battle for Guam. Featured Doberman Pinscher Article.

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.

The modern German Shepherd is descended from a family of various German herding dogs. Breed standards were not developed until the late 19th century when Captain Max von Stephanitz, a German cavalry officer, worked with Arthur Meyer and other breeders to develop the ideal German herding dog. Stephanitz and Meyer wrote the breed standard in and the American Kennel Club recognized the German Shepherd as a member of the Herding Group in .Although they were originally bred as herding dogs, they were also bred for versatility, which made the German Shepherd an all-around working dog that could excel in a variety of applications. German Shepherds are one of the common dog breeds employed in K-9 units in both police and military applications. They also make great service dogs and, of course, are still awesome herding dogs and farm dogs! The German Shepherd is a strong-willed and highly intelligent dog.

German Shepherds are naturally protective and can be wary of strangers at first. A well-socialized German Shepherd will bark to alert you and tends to warm up to strangers once introduced. German Shepherds are dogs that were bred to herd and work. This, plus their high energy, makes them a better fit for homes with fenced yards where they can run. They can adapt well to larger apartments as long as plenty of time is dedicated to ensuring they get enough exercise, mental stimulation, and attention every day. A bored, ignored, or under-exercised German Shepherd can often become a destructive one. They also can be sensitive to their surroundings and large gatherings can be off-putting. With a longer coat, they tend to prefer cooler climates and are sensitive to heat. The German Shepherd is a generally healthy breed, but there are some potential health concerns and good breeding practices make a big difference. Potential health concerns to be aware of in a German Shepherd include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia , and degenerative myelopathy.

Daily walks plus playtime, time to run, and other activities are usually enough for a GSD, but they will likely be up for more activity if you are. With their versatility and athleticism, you can try a lot of different activities when puppies finish growing and they are cleared for higher-impact things.

NEADS places a high premium on these qualities because our assistance dogs need to be structurally and psychologically sound in order to assist someone with a physical disability. Our program places dogs with those who can benefit from both the functional and emotional support the companions provide: picking up a dropped article, opening a door and holding it open as the client passes through in their wheelchair, retrieving a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and many other tasks. Many of these tasks help people who have limited dexterity or mobility. Our rigorous standards are based on 35 years of experience training assistance dogs for those with a physical disability, autism or hearing loss.

By Sandra C. At times, it can seem like your new puppy is made of poop! But is this normal? Do puppies really poop more than adult dogs, and why? Here are the answers to everything you wanted to know about how often puppies should be pooping. How Often Should a Puppy Poop? In general, puppies poop a lot. They are small, with an intestinal tract that is still developing. In general, the younger the dog, the faster that the food will move through their digestive tract. It is not uncommon for a puppy to defecate times per day. Some will eliminate even more frequently. The good news is that the pace of pooping will slow down as the dog matures. Although a 2-week-old puppy may defecate at every feeding, by 12 weeks, they may be down to only 4 times per day. By 6 months, it may be 3 times per day. An adult dog usually poops once a day , but they could go up to 3 times a day. Pay attention to the frequency as well as the consistency, color, texture, and any coatings. If you suddenly notice that your puppy is defecating more than usual, look for any changes in color, consistency, or coatings, and pay attention to how your puppy is acting. Look for signs of discomfort and monitor your puppy for 24 hours. Almost all puppies are also born with intestinal parasites. This is one of the reasons veterinarians recommend deworming and testing stool samples frequently while they are young. This is rare in a healthy puppy! If your puppy suddenly starts producing less poop or straining , they may have eaten something that is causing an intestinal blockage. A possible intestinal blockage is an emergency situation. Anything your puppy chews, such as pieces of a chew toy or squeaker, can cause an intestinal blockage. When Should a Puppy Poop? Most puppies need to poop shortly after eating, but this can vary. It takes time for them to understand when their body is signaling they need to go, so training your puppy to go outside may take some time. After you feed your puppy, wait a few minutes, and then take them outside. Look for signs that your puppy needs to go, such as looking around and starting to sniff the floor. They may begin to circle and posture as if they are about to go. As soon as you notice the signs that pup is getting ready to go, get them outside quickly to aid in house-training! Puppy poo can be extremely variable in appearance, which can make it challenging to determine what is normal. As a rule, however, puppy stool should resemble a soft, large Tootsie roll. It should be brown and well-formed not soft or runny or too hard. The size of the stool will vary with the size of the dog, the time of day, and their diet, but pay attention to especially large or small stools. A small amount of mucus covering the stool is normal, but this should not be blood-tinged. Over time, your little pooping machine will go less and start to fall into a consistent pattern.

Guest Contributor .How often a puppy poops and the consistency of the poop are good indicators of the presence of any diseases or digestive complaints. Depending on their age, most puppies poop between four and five times per day , typically shortly after eating. There is a significant difference in bowel movements between dog breeds, and their bowel habits will change as your dog ages. However, the key to a healthy, well-functioning digestive tract is a good diet regardless of age. High-protein puppy food can help ensure your puppy is pooping regularly and getting the nutrients they need. As a result, they should poop around four to five times per day. By the time your puppy reaches eight weeks, he or she should have a more stable diet and better control of their bowels. Your puppy may begin to poop once or twice per day at predictable times, a trend that should continue for the rest of their life. Diet Effects How Often a Puppy Poops What you feed your puppy at all stages of development impacts their defecation frequency. Knowing how much to feed a puppy, what to feed the puppy and how often to feed a puppy are things to consider when properly caring for your new pet. As your dog grows, these questions will be answered by how they behave when eating and how often he or she goes to the bathroom. A proper diet should involve routine and healthy food. Your dog should be fed the same amount of food at the same time of day to establish a pattern the dog can follow and adapt to. Dehydrated dog treats are an excellent incentive to reward your puppy for following proper eating and pooping habits while also boosting the protein and antioxidants in their diet. Your growing puppy should be fed grain-free dog food to provide all the essential nutrients like fiber, beta-carotene, omega 9 fatty acid and Vitamin E, without extra filler grains that might be harsh on their digestive tract. It is also important to prevent puppies from eating table scraps or other food they might find around; they cannot digest most foods and this could cause stomach and intestinal problems. These assessments can tell you if your dog is eating the correct diet and can show the presence of different diseases and problems your dog might have, like parasites and internal bleeding. These symptoms could indicate food allergies or gastrointestinal disease. It is important that all dog owners set their puppies up for good lives by feeding them a proper diet.

You may find yourself monitoring their bowel movements and observing their poop. You may begin wondering how often do Golden Retriever puppies poop and if that frequency is normal? In general, healthy Golden Retriever puppies will poop four to six times per day. However, their poop frequency depends on their age, diet, activity levels, hormones, stress, and how much and often they eat. As puppies age, pooping frequency gradually declines to once or twice per day as adults. Becoming a puppy poop inspector and poop expert is essential for a pet owner. We start with frequency. How often should a Golden Retriever puppy poop per day, including factors that impact frequency? Golden Retriever puppies poop a lot. It is pretty normal for Golden Retrievers puppies to poop four to six times per day. My Golden Retriever Bailey used to poop upwards of eight times per day, but he was a big plump puppy. Bailey was a pooping machine. Age Young puppies poop more. As your Golden Retriever puppy grows and gets older, it will poop less often. That means that your little Golden Retriever puppy will need to do his poop business quite frequently. The good news is that as Golden Retrievers puppies get older and larger, they gain more control over their intestines. They then gradually poop less often until eventually, it becomes similar to humans at one to three times per day in adulthood, with once to twice per day being the norm. At about 1. Puppy Size Size is also a significant determinant in how often your Golden Retriever puppy goes poop per day. The larger the Golden Retriever puppy, the more it typically will need to poop. Larger puppies typically eat more food and possibly more often due to their larger size, and what goes in must come out. So, all that extra food taken in means more poop coming out. For example, our Golden Retriever puppy Bailey was an enormous puppy for his age. He typically pooped upward eight times per day. Both how much it is fed and how often. As discussed in the previous section, a bigger puppy needs more food, and more going in means more coming out. Additionally, how often they are fed also impacts how much they need to go. More food and eating more frequently means more that needs to come out. But another factor is the type of food. If the food is higher in fiber or a brand your Golden Retriever may be sensitive to, poop frequency can increase. Changing the type of dog food often causes an adaptive period where the puppy must poop more. For example, when transitioning to a new food, vets typically recommend only mixing a quarter or half of a cup of the new food with the usual brand. Doing so helps the puppy transition with fewer issues. Another potential diet factor impacting frequency is snacks. Often the types of snacks and amounts can mean more poops for puppies. Bailey enjoys liver snaps, and when we started training him as a puppy, those snacks increased. And so did the number of his poops per day. Stress If you find your Golden Retriever puppy is not pooping within the range of four to six times per day, it is often due to stress. This is not unusual when the puppy is brought home, away from its mother and littermates. Now, the puppy is in a strange house with unfamiliar people and strange smells. That adds up to mega-stress. And stress means it can impact bowel movements by causing constipation. It can also affect hunger and appetite, so your puppy might eat less until it feels comfortable and safe. A decrease in poop frequency may also occur when you leave your puppy at home for the first time. However, during this separation period, your puppy must adjust to periods of being alone, and its anxiety levels increase. Again, stress or anxiety can impact digestive processes and appetite, causing constipation or reduced poop frequency. Exercise Exercise is essential for Golden Retriever puppies. Lack of sufficient exercise slows the transit of poop through the intestinal tract. As a result, a puppy or adult Golden Retriever will often return to regular bowel movements when exercised more. However, if exercise amounts are sufficient, there could be other reasons for decreased bowel movements or constipation. Specifically, the size, consistency, shape, color, smell, and composition of the poop can provide health indicators or potential issues. If you are walking your Golden Retriever, then inspecting poop is often a byproduct of picking up after your puppy I hope you are doing that. However, if your puppy has not yet had all its vaccinations and walking is not an option yet, you should still regularly inspect its poop. For walks, you will have to do it the old-fashioned way hand in the bag. But for the backyard, I recommend a pooper scooper as a handy helper. It is a vital action to ensure your puppy is pooping enough and that the poop is healthy. Below, we discuss each factor to look for to ensure healthy puppy poop. Amount of Food The size of the poop is usually in proportion to the amount of food being fed. For example, suppose your puppy is being fed the recommended amount for its size, and the poop seems small. In that case, that may indicate a potential issue. Generally speaking, the poop size should be relatively proportional to the amount of food that the puppy is eating. If you feel your Golden Retriever puppy regularly produces smaller-than-average poops, take a picture with your cell phone. Consistency Consistency refers to whether the poop is hard or soft. Puppy poops can range from watery to very hard and everywhere in between. A healthy poop should be soft but relatively well-formed. You should have little problem picking it up with a poop bag, and the poop should stay well-formed. If you have trouble picking up the poop or it is very mushy or liquidity, the dog may have diarrhea or other issues. In contrast, hard poop or pellets can indicate constipation. This puppy poop is mushy and not well-formed and not easy to pick up. Both diarrhea and constipation that do not resolve quickly as in a couple of days can indicate health issues. Shape Golden Retriever puppy poop shape should be sausage or log-like. Usually, there will be one or two pieces. It may be S or snake-shaped that is good. The poop should be moist or soft but well-formed and retain its form when picked up. If the sausage or log-shaped poop is quite hard or in the shape of round balls or pellets, the puppy is most likely constipated. Obviously, if it has no shape or is very watery, and picking it up is nearly impossible, diarrhea is most likely the issue. Or, at the least, something your puppy ate did not agree with it. In either case, watery or hard stools that do not resolve in a day or two require intervention, and you should chat with your vet. Often color is a tell-tale sign that something is off and action needs to be taken. The typical color of puppy poop should be light to dark brown with little to no additional color variations. Brown is good. Other colors may not be; however, be mindful that what your puppy has eaten may affect the color. For example, food colors or grass may affect the color of the poop. Be especially concerned if the poop is one of the brighter colors noted, such as red, orange, or yellow. Composition Puppy poop composition is simply what the poop is made up of. There should be no objects in the poop, such as plastic or small sticks. Red streaks could mean blood, and small whiter particles that look like rice could mean worms. It should not be overpowering and cause your eyes to water or want to make you run from the area screaming. A consistently strong odor may mean the puppy has issues with the food or is not digesting it properly. Another culprit could be snacks and human food. Too many snacks or feeding the dog-human food could signal that the puppy is being overfed or that the food is causing gastrointestinal issues. Not mushy, watery, or hard Light to dark brown Well-formed like a sausage — it can be S-shaped One or two segments. But what if your Golden Retriever puppy is pooping only once or twice per day? Is that normal? A Golden Retriever puppy that is only pooping once or twice per day is likely suffering from constipation. While pooping once or twice per day may be expected for an adult Golden Retriever, it is typically not enough for a puppy. It is equally important to watch your Golden Retriever puppy taking a poop as it is to inspect the poop. If your puppy is only pooping twice per day, often watching your puppy as it attempts a bowel movement will confirm constipation. Suppose the puppy struggles to push poop out, is visibly uncomfortable, or makes multiple attempts without any success. In that case, you are likely witnessing constipation. You may observe your dog circling excessively, scooting dragging the bottom along the ground or squatting frequently, or even crying out in severe cases. Constipation can be caused by many factors, such as too much or little fiber, a change in diet, an addition to the usual diet, such as snacks or human food, lack of exercise, dehydration, or not enough water. Other issues could be medications, stress, hormones, underlying health issues, or injuries. Constipation can be serious. If your puppy does not improve within 48 hours, call your veterinarian. To ensure your Golden Retriever puppy has consistent and healthy puppy poops, there are three main areas that you can focus on. First on the list is diet. The ideal time to discuss food with your veterinarian is when you take your puppy to the veterinarian for its first visit. It is also essential to ensure that your breeder advises you of the food brand they are using to feed your puppy. Also, beware of snacks and human food. Additions to the diet, either the ingredient or the amount of food, can cause issues. If you need some snacks for training your puppy, ask your veterinarian what is appropriate and if the meal size should be reduced. The concern with reducing food size or amounts is the reduction of vital nutrients needed for your growing puppy, so talk to your vet. Also, make sure your Golden Retriever puppy always has access to plenty of fresh water. Dehydration is a recipe for constipation. As discussed, regular and enough exercise is vital for the digestive process in dogs. Being sedentary seems to affect digestive efficiency and transit time. Exercise for your puppy improves transit time. So, make sure your Golden Retriever puppy has enough exercise daily. Combined with a healthy diet and enough water, this will ensure healthy poops. How much exercise? A good rule of thumb is this: Golden Retriever puppies need about five minutes of exercise per their age in months, twice daily up to a maximum of 2 hours. Keep in mind that this is a general rule, and some Golden Retriever puppies will need more if they are incredibly energetic. For example, my Golden Retriever Bailey far exceeded that exercise requirement. He was and is today a highly energetic and active dog that needed more than the recommended exercise to satisfy his needs. Lastly, be mindful of stressors. But unfortunately, stress and anxiety can affect digestion and reduce appetite. Stress is most often seen in puppies when they are first brought home from the breeders and the puppy adjusts to their new home. Another stress for puppies is if everyone in the household works, and the puppy must be left alone. However, you can take steps to reduce the strain on your puppy during this separation stage, and you read about them here: Raising a Golden Retriever Puppy While Working: Guilt-Free Solutions. Last, Golden Retrievers are a sensitive dog breed and do not do well with aversives, punishment, or loud physical reprimands such as yelling. Doing so can add stress to your puppy. Aside from bowel issues, you may be setting your puppy up to be insecure or have behavioral problems. So, you have a Golden Retriever puppy, and pooping four to six times per day, and even up to eight, can be expected. That means you will be doing a lot of running to get your puppy outside before he makes a mess in the house. Puppy poop messes in the house are an inevitable part of having a puppy. However, you can do a few things to help the process and make potty training more manageable, such as knowing when to take your Golden Retriever puppy out to poop. Knowing the signs of impending poop-dom is proactive versus reactive step. In addition, learning the routines associated with when it has to go poop is a vital step. Some of those routines are discussed below. After holding it all night, the puppy may be ready for a poop. If not for a poop, then most definitely a pee. I would suggest not delaying this step. As adults, we should have control over our bladders and bowels much better than a puppy, so forget everything until the puppy has had time to go. Take your puppy out immediately after waking to go potty Naps are similar to nighttime, and after a rest, especially following a meal, the puppy might need to poop. At the least, the puppy might need to pee, so take it out, and if a bowel movement is also in order, they will typically do both. After Meals Puppies usually must go for a poop after meals. Typically, you do not have to wait more than five to 30 minutes before seeing the little one sniffing, squatting, or doing circles. Puppies often need to suddenly have a bowel movement quickly during play. This is because play stimulates the digestive tract. Because puppies do not have control of their intestines, things can happen quickly. When he was a puppy, our Golden Retriever Bailey would suddenly try to run and disappear into another room. Or he would abruptly stop and then start to squat. Usually, before bed, the puppy will likely take a pee since the last bowel movement is usually after supper. However, it is precautionary. Too many snacks, stomach upset, or food from supper that took a bit longer in transit might need to come out. Better safe than sorry, right!! Four to six times is normal, and even up to eight times is not out of the ordinary. As a result, they can be pooping machines. Become a poop inspector. Also, monitor how much and frequently you feed your puppy. If poop looks unusual, or your puppy is going too much or little, then call your vet to ensure everything is A-Ok. With puppies, safe is always better than sorry. In the very least, you want your dog to be comfortable. That is why you are looking at this article in the first place. A grown Golden Retriever should average 1 to 2 bowel movements per day. How often should Golden Retrievers poop? Young Golden Retrievers might poop 3 to 5 times per day. As your dog gets older, he might only have 2 bowel movements per day. Really quick, before I explain how I get my retrievers on a schedule for one or two bowel movements a day, let me explain something that I am really excited about. There really are so many things that we need to know when it comes to new dogs. That is why I started this website for people that love Golden Retrievers and Labradors as much as I do.

When you have a new retriever puppy, you have to get her on a regular bathroom schedule. It is going to be one of the most important things you can do in your effort to potty train her. The more frequently your puppy goes to the bathroom outside instead of in the house—or worse in her crate—the faster she will recognize that her bathroom space is outside. In addition to helping with the potty training process, getting your new puppy on a consistent schedule for bathroom breaks is also important for their health. What if my Golden Retriever or Labrador is not pooping? If you notice that your dog is not having bowel movements when you take her outside, she might be constipated. The moisture in the food might help move things along. Exercise is also a really good way to get the bowels moving. Go play catch with your dog and you might find that she is emptying her bowels after a few retrieves. If your dog remains constipated for more than a few days, you really need to get her into the vet. It is possible that the bowels or intestines are obstructed. In that situation, it will take a medical procedure to fix the problem. If your dog gets constipated, make sure that you keep her hydrated. A regular schedule will help your Lab or Golden stay healthy If you have a house-trained or crate-trained retriever, she will do everything in her power to wait until you let her out. The best-case scenario, if you forget to give your dog a potty break is some carpet cleaning. Make sure that your family is aware of how your Retriever asks to get outside when the urge arises! The worst-case situation, however, is that you can actually cause a condition called If you have a regular exercise routine, you will notice that one of the first things that your dog does is empty her bowels and bladder. That is because her body knows that she is about to be running and jumping around. She does not want that extra weight. Better to just leave it all behind. My schedule for my Labradors is to get them out for exercise first thing in the morning. The very first thing I do is walk them over to the part of my property where I want them going to the bathroom. Once they have completely relieved themselves, then we go play. Sometimes is a bike ride. Other times we just play fetch in the park across the street from my home. Then we repeat the process about an hour before I want to go to bed. And, as a result, my 8-year-old Labrador takes a poop in the morning and most of the time another between 7 and 8. They hit the average of one to two poop breaks every day. For example, your retriever might have: urinary tract infection. Dec 23, Jul 16, This post may contain affiliate links. We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. Bringing a new puppy home is one of the most exciting—and terrifying—times for all new pet parents! While my dog is a senior now, I remember his puppy days vividly and know that I was completely clueless about how often puppies poop. Needless to say, I was completely unprepared for the amount of poop a tiny puppy can create! It is completely normal for young puppies to pee and poop much more frequently than adult dogs. Technically speaking, how often a puppy should poop in a day depends on a lot of factors. Most young puppies poop between one and five times a day, depending on their age and the amount of food they eat. Bear in mind, younger puppies need to poop more frequently than older puppies. And if you are raising sibling puppies , be prepared for a lot of poop and even different pooping schedules. More often than not, a healthy puppy will need to defecate after eating or within 30 minutes after the meal. Therefore, if you feed your puppy four times a day, you should expect a minimum of four poops each day. If you are taking care of newborn puppies, you should expect them to poop even more frequently. During their first week of life, newborn puppies need to nurse every two hours; therefore, your new pup should poop every two hours throughout the day. As your puppies grow and get older, they will eat less, and consequently defecate less often. As stated, health problems are one of the factors that can affect the number of times your puppy will poop in a day. Puppies with health issues may poop more or less often depending on the type of health issue they are dealing with. Since dogs are creatures of habit and like to follow a routine, you can expect that your puppy will poop around the same time every day. If this is your first time raising a puppy, you may have trouble grasping the frequency of their bowel movements. Luckily, once you survive the first week with a new puppy , you will have an idea of how many times puppies should poop in a day and what is normal for your pup. Even if you are fairly certain about the number of times your puppy will poop in one day, there are several factors that can cause your puppy to poop more. Listed below are the most common reasons why your puppy is pooping more than usual. Eating More Young puppies are still growing and developing and naturally need to eat more food than adult dogs. As your puppy starts to grow and fill out, you may have an urge to start feeding them more. In the end, everything that goes into your pup must come out, so with more food comes more poop. Besides causing your puppy to poop more, the extra calories can lead to obesity and growth abnormalities. Therefore, err on the side of caution and talk with your veterinarian or canine nutritionist first. Eating More Fiber Like people, dogs can experience many health benefits from eating fiber-rich foods. It is worth mentioning, there are two types of fiber—soluble fiber and insoluble fiber—and both support a healthy gastrointestinal system. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool, thus speeding up its passage through the gut. Soluble fiber, on the other hand, encourages water retention in the stool, making it softer and easier for your puppy to pass it through their intestines. Eating fiber-rich food is great for your puppy and supports their digestive health. But as often happens in life, too much of a good thing can be bad, and eating too much fiber can cause your puppy to poop more often. If your puppy is on a high-fiber diet, start transitioning them to a moderate- or low-fiber puppy food. Stress You may be surprised, but puppies can experience nervous poops and feel the need to eliminate frequently in stressful situations. Figuring out that your puppy is stressed-out is not an easy feat, but pinpointing the stressor may be even more difficult. If your puppy is pooping more often than usual, try to think about what could be the reason behind their stress and anxiety. Many things can cause stress and anxiety in young puppies. Identifying and removing the stressor is the only way you can help your puppy and put a stop to nervous poops. Medication Increased elimination is a common side effect of many medications. Certain types of pain relievers, diuretics, and antihistamines can cause your puppy to poop more often than usual. However, while some puppies poop more, others may develop constipation depending on their digestive tract. Furthermore, certain medications can also cause increased urination in puppies. If your puppy is pooping and peeing more than usual, they might be at risk of dehydration and further complications. So, if you notice any of these side effects, consult your veterinarian right away for advice and a potential change of treatment. If you thought picking after your puppy is the closest you are going to get to their poop, think again! So before you pick up the poop in a doggy bag, you should inspect it. Color Healthy and normal puppy poop should be brown in color. However, variations in color are completely normal and depend on how hydrated your puppy is and the type of food they are eating. Furthermore, black stool can be a sign of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Stool with red streaks or red stool can indicate that your puppy has bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Green bits in normal-colored brown poop are most likely traces of grass your puppy ingested on some of their walks. Constipation, on the other hand, might be tricky to spot since the poop may come out in firm pieces or fragments. However, if you pay close attention to your puppy, you will notice that they are straining and having a hard time pooping when constipated. However, if your pup has diarrhea or constipation for more than two days, you should take them to the veterinarian for a full checkup. Any kind of mucous coating can indicate that your puppy is having a large bowel inflammation. If your puppy strained while pooping, you might notice a small amount of blood coating the stool. However, you should pay attention to any sudden changes. Watch out, or rather sniff out, any sweet or extremely foul-smelling puppy poop. These types of changes can indicate a bacterial infection or other health problems. Anything except grass in small amounts can be a sign of concern and calls for further inspection. Healthy puppies should poop between one and five times a day, usually right after a meal or within 30 minutes after eating. But, how many times puppies should poop depends on a lot of factors such as age, breed, diet, amount of exercise, and health issues. Newborn puppies, for example, need to nurse every two hours and should poop after every meal throughout the day. In most cases, a puppy will want to poop as soon as they finish eating their meal, while others will defecate within the next 30 minutes. Keeping this in mind, you can design a consistent eating schedule and a regular pooping routine. With this information, you can start house training your puppy from a young age and avoid cleaning puppy poop from your favorite rugs and carpets. There is a general belief that puppies can hold it one hour for every month of age. So, a three-month-old puppy should poop four times a day. However, your pup may poop more or less frequently depending on the amount and type of food they are eating. Most puppies will poop after every meal, and the frequency of the meals will dictate how often a puppy will poop in a day. Generally speaking, puppies can go up to 48 hours without pooping. However, not having any bowel movements in two days is a clear sign of constipation and can indicate other health problems as well. It is never too soon to start potty training your new puppy, and you will make much more progress by starting house training your puppy as soon as you bring them home. A nine-week-old-puppy is at the right age to start potty training both indoors and outdoors. You should establish a toilet area and start teaching your puppy self-control using positive reinforcement techniques like praise and rewards. And if you have any concerns about the amount of poop your puppy is producing, or lack of it, consult your veterinarian and take your puppy for a full checkup. Related Articles:. Along with the joy, comes the responsibility of taking care of them properly. As a new pet parent, one may wonder how many times a day their Golden Retriever puppy should poop, and what is considered normal. In this article, we will explore the topic of Golden Retriever puppy poop and what is considered normal and not normal. Generally, a Golden Retriever puppy should poop between 1 to 5 times a day, depending on their age, diet, and activity level. As a rule of thumb, puppies younger than 6 months old may poop more frequently due to their developing digestive system. However, as they grow older and their digestive system becomes more efficient, their poop frequency may decrease. In addition to poop frequency, the consistency of the poop is also important to consider. Normal poop should be firm, moist, and have a cylindrical shape. It should not be too hard, too soft, or contain blood, mucus, or undigested food particles. I always ask my puppy parents and other breeders if it looks like a tootsie roll or not. For example, if your puppy has diarrhea, it may be a sign of a gastrointestinal infection, parasite infestation , or food intolerance. Similarly, if your puppy is constipated, it may be due to dehydration, lack of fiber in their diet, or a medical condition such as an obstruction in their digestive tract. Early detection and treatment of health issues can prevent them from becoming more serious. If your Golden Retriever puppy is pooping less than once a day or not pooping at all, it may be a sign of constipation. Constipation can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, lack of fiber in the diet, or a medical condition such as an obstruction in the digestive tract. In addition to constipation, another abnormal poop behavior is straining or difficulty pooping. If your puppy is straining to poop or appears to be in pain while pooping, it may be a sign of an obstruction or blockage in their digestive tract. These conditions can be serious and require veterinary treatment. Golden Retriever puppies have high energy levels and require regular exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being. A lack of exercise can lead to constipation, while excessive exercise can cause diarrhea. Golden Retriever puppies require a balanced diet that provides them with the necessary nutrients for their growth and development. Feeding your puppy a high-quality puppy food that is appropriate for their age and size can help maintain their digestive health and prevent issues such as diarrhea or constipation. In addition to a balanced diet, providing your puppy with access to fresh water is essential for their overall health and well-being. Sum It Up A Golden Retriever puppy should poop between 1 to 5 times a day, depending on their age, diet, and activity level. Normal poop should be firm, moist but not too much , and have a cylindrical shape. Eat a tootsie roll. Sources: American Kennel Club. Constipation in Dogs. Diarrhea in Dogs. How often your golden retriever poops will be determined by a few factors, though. Do golden retrievers poop a lot? Golden retrievers poop based on how often they are fed, what they are fed, the health they are in, and how often they can relieve themselves. They will poop approximately times a day when they are puppies and, depending on the factors listed above, will poop about times a day as an older dog. With all the factors that go into the bowel movements of your golden retriever, there may not be an exact number to help you decide if they are pooping a lot or a little, as the choice would be based on your own perception. How often you feed your golden retriever will depend on the type of food, weight, and age of your dog. Keeping that in mind, I will give approximate feeding instructions for puppies and adult golden retrievers of average health. Puppies Puppies are most often recommended to be fed three or four times a day. Puppy food will have feeding instructions on their containers. Make sure you check with your vet and read the food instructions, first. Check the ingredients, too. Avoid food with corn or by-products as they are hard for puppies to digest and can lead to health problems. Check that their poop is solid to know if the food is setting okay with their stomachs. Your puppies will need to poop as much as they ingest, so keep that in mind when you are scheduling their feeding and potty breaks. Each time your puppy eats, they will need to go outside not long after. Puppies will need to time relieve themselves every couple of hours, minimum, to at least pee if not poop. Older Dogs Older dogs need to eat approximately twice a day. A good schedule would be once in the morning and once in the evening. Take care to schedule potty breaks after each meal, as well as outside of them. Older dogs will also need care to avoid foods with corn or by-products, as well. Making sure the first ingredient is meat is important to make sure they are getting the right kind of nutrients. Corn can cause them to not get the nutrients they need from food, and it can cause health issues. As with puppies, what dogs ingest they will need to evacuate from their bodies in one form or another. Being sure that they have healthy stools and urine is key to a healthy dog and your understanding of their needs. Check with your vet to find the best food and schedule for your golden retriever. Health Concerns and Poop If your dog is suffering any ailment, their urine and poop are often the first signs of trouble. Some common ailments for dogs and the poop and urine signs to look for are dehydration, urinary tract infections, worms, and constipation.

Should a Lab Mix take after their Labrador Retriever parent, they will be a playful, energetic, and affectionate dog that loves their families. Labrador Retrievers are energetic dogs that tend to have an extended puppyhood. They are also social, friendly, and tend to be patient and gentle with children. This makes them fantastic pets as they also tend to get along well with other dogs and even other pets, despite their retriever tendencies. If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, then you can expect the same from a Labrador Retriever Mix. You still want to ask questions about the other parent breed as they are bound to introduce some potential quirks of their own. Although Labs are happiest with room to run, they adapt well to apartments as long as they get enough exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. They also do well in most climates, but do not like to spend long stretches of time alone. If the other parent breed is also highly adaptable, then you can expect the same from a Labrador Retriever Mix. Are mixed-breed dogs healthier than purebred dogs? As with purebred dogs, health often depends on reputable breeding practices. Just as a mix can inherit none of the conditions common to their parent breeds, they could also inherit all of them or some combination of them. From the Labrador side, potential health concerns to be aware of in a Labrador Mix include patellar luxation , hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and cataracts. The other parent breed will likely introduce some other potential conditions to this list. Reputable breeders screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. Labrador Retrievers are highly trainable dogs that can be a good fit for owners of any experience level. First-time owners may have a challenge at first with their high energy and exuberance, but tend to be successful. If the other parent breed is also highly trainable, then you can expect the same from a Labrador Retriever Mix. If the other parent breed tends to be more challenging to train, then you will want to be prepared for that potential and be ready to enroll in puppy training classes if you need them. A Lab Mix can end up with a coat similar to one of their parents or a coat that is truly a mix of both. Should they inherit the Labrador Retriever coat, it will be short and will shed throughout the year with heavier shedding as the seasons change. Weekly brushing and the occasional bath keep a Lab coat healthy. Trimming nails once or twice monthly keeps them from growing too long. Because dental care is often overlooked, gum disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Brushing teeth every day or using an enzyme toothpaste daily in addition to cleanings at the vet as needed helps prevent painful dental diseases later in life. Labrador Retrievers are high-energy working dogs that need plenty of exercise and a job to do to be happy. If the other parent breed is also a high-energy dog breed, then you should expect a Labrador Mix to be a high-energy dog as well. Even if the other parent breed sits in a lower activity range, you will still want to be prepared for the potential of a high-energy dog should they take after their Lab parent. Fully-grown Labrador Retrievers tend to stand inches tall and weigh pounds. The other parent can have a big effect on this, especially if they are the mother. Labs generally live for years. Although the other parent breed could affect this slightly, you should be able to expect a similar average life span from a Labrador Retriever Mix. Featured Labrador Mix Article.

There are measures you must take as a responsible pet owner to keep your dog healthy. Veterinarians claim these diseases have been linked to the way your dog consumes food, leading dog owners to see their beloved family member suffer during and beyond mealtimes. Imagine a bowl designed for pets that cause less bloating, less mess and most importantly, a healthier lifestyle! Our bowl not only allows them to enjoy their meals; it extends their lifespan by reducing these health problems. Enhanced Pet Bowl The Enhanced Pet Bowl helps all breeds, whether it is your cat, dog or rabbit they will all benefit from this amazing bowl. It helps elevate the bowl to allow more comfort and ease for your dog. It allows him to keep his nose out of his food and breath while also allowing him to easily grab his kibbles. Christina S. English Bulldog I'll be the first to say I was skeptical. Every boxer I have had always takes a mouth full of kibble and drops all over the floor. The price and cost of shipping are a bit much but well worth it. My boxer no longer drops kibble everywhere and eats her food much slower than before and is clean. Torie L. Boxer I love this bowl and wish I had this years ago! My pug eats so much better now without choking on his food. I also highly recommend getting the stand with it, especially for older dogs. Rammy is 12 and has developed some arthritis in his spine. It makes my heart happy to see him eat without having to curve his spine to reach his food on the floor. Collin J. Pin 0 Shares Anybody who owns a Frenchie will know how motivated they are by their stomachs. However, this can cause them issues such as flatulence, bloating, and choking… some of which can be reduced just by using a specialist French Bulldog food bowl. Why do French Bulldogs need special bowls? Let me explain… As a brachycephalic breed with flat faces and shortened necks, Frenchies can struggle to eat and drink from standard dog bowls. If they end up eating too fast, they are prone to bloating and possibly even choking. This can be exacerbated with the wrong type of French Bulldog food and water bowl that lets your Frenchie chew, swallow, and drink too fast. If you scroll down you will see my choices on the best food bowl for a French Bulldog, but first let me explain why I recommend what I do. What food bowls to avoid with your Frenchie I am not a fan of plastic food bowls for a number of reasons. Firstly, they scratch easily, and bacteria can form in the scratches on the plastic and be very hard to remove, even with cleaning. This presents a potential health hazard to your Frenchie, as does the possibility that your dog could also have an allergic reaction to plastic. What is the best material for a French Bulldog food bowl? The best French Bulldog food bowl will be made from stainless steel. I like bowls that are scratch resistant, simple to clean, and harder to tip over if trodden on by your Frenchie. Dishwasher safe and sturdy, I like stainless steel food bowls with rubber underneath, so they stay put when your Frenchie is eating and drinking. What size bowl do I get for my French Bulldog? We have a large stainless-steel bowl for drinking water which we change every day, and a slighter small food bowl. There is one consideration here though; if you have a large feeding bowl you might be tempted to put too much food in it, and over-feed your Frenchie. Handy Hint: The most important aspect is feeding your Frenchie the right amount of food. How high should the food bowl be off the ground? And lastly, many Frenchie owners say you should use elevated feeding bowls that are high off the ground to avoid bloat. This opinion appears to be changing in recent years, with this interesting statement found on the DailyPuppy. Studies have shown, however, that raised food bowls do just the opposite. These feeders can make your pet more vulnerable to bloat, says veterinarian Jon Rappaport and other experts. Basic slow feeding bowl This stainless-steel slow feeder is ideal for Frenchies. This stops them from eating their food too quickly, or in too large a gulp, therefore helping to prevent choking or bloating. When we introduced this food bowl to our Frenchie, we noticed his vomiting reduced. Before he would probably be sick once a week because he was eating too fast. Slanted mess-free dog bowl An alternative French Bulldog food bowl is a slanted model. Admittedly it is slightly off the ground, but not high enough to cause any issues. The primary reason for the design is to alleviate neck pressure on your Frenchie and make eating not as messy! Stainless-steel water bowl And finally, you will need a separate bowl for the water. I recommend a French Bulldog water bowl that is 2 to 3 times larger than the food bowl, and the water should be replaced daily with clean and fresh. Conclusion Frenchies should have their own feeding and water bowls, rather than just an afterthought like an old dish or cereal bowl you no longer need. Whilst it might be tempting to buy a food bowl for your Frenchie that looks fun and funky, with bowls, functionality always has to beat out form. Print The cute chaos generated by the Puppy Bowl competitors makes for a compelling contest. But sometimes these pups can get a little too spirited on the gridiron. Look no further than this first look at the annual spectacle that raises awareness for pet adoption. Here, Moby the French bulldog spins out of control and starts barking at a fellow and larger Team Ruff player, prompting referee — er, rufferee — Dan Schachner to blow his whistle, administer a penalty to Moby for "talking smack" that he hasn't been able to back up, and gently instruct him to settle down. Schachner isn't just throwing flags, though. EW's montage of footage also features the man in black and white giving a pep talk pup talk? From there, it's a flurry of furry, as you'll see all sorts of adoptable dogs have a field day with their chew toys and each other. There's a lot on the line this season — Team Ruff is hoping to even the series against Team Fluff at four games apiece. To place your bets on who may cross the goalposts the most or at least reduce you to uncontrollable utterances of "awwwww! Related links:. These pups have a unique body shape and size that can make it difficult for them to comfortably eat and drink from traditional dog bowls. Half of her food ends up on the floor. So, I wanted to look for something with a tray or something that catches or prevents the fall-out food. Her bowl would also get tipped over on its side after she finished eating. She is wild. My criteria for the bowls this time was mainly for Fira. Fira is the complicated one. Weston also has a bit of a longer snout than Fira, making it easier for him to reach his food. So, Fira needed a bowl that would be suitable for her non-existent snout and easy for clean-up. She needed something that would stay put on the floor, help prevent regurgitating and look good in the kitchen. Here are the 9 bowls I picked up for my French Bulldogs: Hint: Scroll down to the end of this post to find my 1 choice for dog food bowl. The bowls are really shallow and wide, so it helps small-snout and squishy-face dogs get into the bowl better. These are perfect for a neat eater aka: Weston! The tray around the bowl was littered with fallen food right away. Not sure how but it ended up ripping, so we had to throw it out, but I included it on this list as a good bowl for French bulldogs. Ceramics Raised Bowl : The design of this bowl is really nice, very modern and a cool shape. I could see this really as a nice accent piece in a contemporary kitchen. Wide Ceramic Dog Bowl : Super pretty dog bowl made of solid ceramic. This bowl is super wide and is taller at the back, which I thought would work for Fira. I think it was too large and the food got stuck at the back and top edges. So maybe not the best French Bulldog food bowl for Fira. But I think if your dog eats dry food or is bigger, this dog bowl is a decent choice! Slow Feeder Bowl : if your dog eats super fast, like Fira does, a dog bowl for fast eaters is a smart option. A slow bowl is great as it forces your French Bulldog to work around the bowl and gives them time to chew and digest — and not inhale their food. It makes eating meals a bit slower for Fira. Even though I found a solution for this bowl, I found it too cumbersome and a few too many added steps for her meal time. Love the slanted feature and Fira had a much better time eating without a huge mess. Elevated bowls are really beneficial for French Bulldogs, as it helps them swallow their food down better without regurgitating it up. This tilted dog bowl also came with silicone grips to stick onto the bottom of the wooden legs — nice! Sturdy grip on the bottom, large area for their face to move around and at an elevated angle. This is my 1 choice. Stainless steel dog bowls are not only durable and easy to clean, but they also have the added benefit of being bacteria-resistant. Unlike other materials such as plastic, which can develop scratches and grooves over time that can harbor bacteria, stainless steel is non-porous and smooth. There you have it — the best bowls for French Bulldogs so far. Hope you enjoyed it! If you have any recommendations, please add them in the comments! Related Posts.
