Temperament: The Poodle is one of the most intelligent breeds out there. They are extremely quick to learn tricks and commands, and are also very loyal and close to their master. High value treat rewards while training are a good way to do this. They are a very sweet breed, always chipper and cheerful. They tend to be comical and entertaining, since they enjoy praise and attention. Poodle puppies for sale in PA are very good with children and with other pets and make wonderful lapdogs, although they do enjoy outdoor activity and can keep up with an active family. Grooming: For long coats, brushing is needed daily. Also keep ears clean and free from hair. For shorter coats, regular clipping is recommended every weeks. Shedding: Poodles are a non-shedding dog, which means they might shed little to no hair, so they are ideal for a person with asthma or allergies. Larger Poodles have been represented in paintings as far back as the 1st Century. All three sizes of this breed were officially recognized by the AKC for the first time in

At the age of four, he cooks a live kitten in an oven. Hearing the poor animal meow as it dies is heartbreaking. Said individual's probably the most twisted of the pilots, and deliberately causes massive death and property damage during his battle to give his father opportunities to rebuild. Kon is aghast at the state of the Tachikawas' cats and rushes to groom six months of unbrushed hair off of all of them, clean their bowls, and feed them. The Tachikawas never actually wanted the cats, but in their grandfather's will, he insists that the cats be taken care of. As a result, the Tachikawas don't actually know how to care for them or even their names, showing that the sorry state the cats are in at the beginning of the story is more out of ignorance than malicious neglect. Shows up in more than one Doraemon film. Right in the first movie, Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur , the Dinosaur Hunters are poachers working for a futuristic billionaire, who hunts and kills stray dinosaurs for sport with a lingering scene in their boss' mansion hideout - filled with taxidermized dinosaurs and gigantic skeletons. They even have an arena to watch dinosaurs maul each other to death, for no reason other than to drive in how evil they are. Elfen Lied : Tomoo, the orphanage bully who teased Lucy for her horns went as far as to take the puppy she had been taking care of and beat it to death. Shocking considering they're supposed to be seven years old. It doesn't end well for the kids. Jagi, a preteen boy and one of the aforementioned Ryuuken's kids, attempts to kill the puppy in response by stomping it, but the puppy is saved by Jagi's step-brother, Kenshiro, who takes Jagi's stomp in order to protect it before bringing it back to Yuria. Jagi grew up to be a psychotic murderer, while Kenshiro grew up to be The Hero who ended Jagi's life. Shou Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist experiments on animals to create his chimera. That is fine as many alchemists and scientists do experiments on animals.However, part of why he's so atrocious is because his experiments involved combining humans with animals. When he made his second talking chimera, he used his young daughter and their pet dog. Both were Mercy Killed by Scar a few hours later. His first talking chimera used his wife. However, things really come to a head when she walks in on her grandmother drowning puppies in their bathtub as a sacrifice to protect the family by pacifying Oyashiro. Shortly after, her mom apparently kills the grandmother because she's becoming a menace and destroying their peaceful life in the city. This is later subverted when it's revealed Natsumi is an Unreliable Narrator who murdered her grandmother and parents. Natsumi's grandmother did drown puppies but it's a morally dubious case of superstition rather than outright villainy. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure uses this trope very frequently. Hirohiko Araki is a dog lover himself and uses a villain harming an animal as easy shorthand to show that they're past the Moral Event Horizon. In Part 1 , Dio literally kicks a dog Danny, Jonathan's pet Great Dane as soon as he arrives at the hero's home, and later burns it alive. After that point, animals, and especially dogs, usually suffer cruel fates to the current villain of the series. A century later, DIO demonstrates his Time Stop to the audience by brutally dismembering a cat and putting the pieces in people's food while planning how to kill Joseph. A notable exception, and a prime example of Contrasting Sequel Antagonist , is the villain Kars in Part 2. He goes out of his way to protect living things that aren't human, as in one scene where he cuts off the arms of a driver to prevent them from running over a dog. This trait goes out the window when Kars gains The Power of Creation as part of ascending to the Ultimate Life Form, which he first tests by making a double of a squirrel that messily devours the original. Lots of examples from Part 3 : Rubber Soul, having caught Jotaro in a cable car, takes his time using his Stand Yellow Temperance to crush and devour a pet dog in front of its owners including a child! Mannish Boy uses his Stand, Death 13 , to kill a dog in Polnareff's dream. Later, the dog is found dead in the same way, first hinting at the Stand's ability to kill people in their dreams. Even other animals can use this to show their villainy. Case in point: Pet Shop, a bird villain , has its Establishing Character Moment when it pulls a pair of dogs under a gate, decapitates them, and starts to eat them. Although he'd already crossed the Moral Event Horizon at that point by killing Avdol, Vanilla Ice further demonstrates his vileness by brutally kicking Iggy to death. One of the first things we see the Starter Villain Anjuro "Angelo" Katagiri do is bite off a pug dog's face. All because the owner wasn't cleaning up after it. Subverted with Tonio Trussardi. Josuke, sneaking into his kitchen after he suspects something is up with him, sees him feeding one of his meals to a small dog, then grinning like a loon when the dog's intestines explode out and screaming at Josuke when he catches him. Only it turns out the dog's perfectly fine; Tonio's Stand Pearl Jam has the power to cure any ailment, albeit in a visceral manner , and the dog was just suffering from a bad case of diarrhea. He only got mad at Josuke for entering the kitchen without washing his hands. Yoshikage Kira, the eventual Big Bad , made his 'debut' in the past by brutally murdering Reimi Sugimoto and her dog Arnold, the latter by slashing his throat and hanging him on the clothes dryer. Formaggio from Part 5 is introduced trying to pet an angry cat. Eventually, he gets annoyed and stuffs it into a glass bottle by using his Stand, Little Feet, which can shrink things. In Part 6 , Lang Rangler throws live rats at Jolyne while fighting her. When they go splat against her cloud suit's helmet, her vision is obscured by the blood. King Hamdo, the psychotic ruler of Hellywood from Now and Then, Here and There , is introduced in the middle of an emotional outburst when a cat interrupts him. Guess what happens to the cat. Go on, guess. Boa Hancock of One Piece has a habit of literally Kicking The Dog or a cat or a baby seal whenever she comes across them. She starts as a villain that Luffy opposes, but then becomes infatuated with him after showing his kindness; she still kicks little critters around, though, as she's still a big-name pirate. He isn't exactly a villain but is by far Ash's most antagonistic rival. Eventually, he does see his errors by the end , with the Chimchar he abused defeating him in the Sinnoh League as a fully evolved Infernape. Charmander's original trainer Damian was an abusive boy who told him that he'd come back for him, even when he had no intention of doing so. He didn't even care that Charmander would have died due to his Undying Loyalty causing him to stay on the rock even in a storm. In the Black and White series, we have Pignite's former trainer Shamus. He abuses his Pokemon and is pointed out as being bad. In Psycho-Pass 2, the season finale reveals that Tougane was groomed as a child by his mother to be criminally asymptomatic, and one of the first things we see him do in his childhood is murder a puppy. In Revolutionary Girl Utena , Nanami ended up drowning her brother Touga's kitten because he was giving it more attention than her. Though not evil per se, she's definitely an antagonist of the Alpha Bitch variety for much of the show and clearly has a number of mental issues mostly involving her brother that don't really get addressed until late in the story. Her track record with animals in the present of the show is implied to be Laser-Guided Karma for this incident, as well as a curse put on her by Anthy , a well-known animal lover and frequent victim of Nanami's abuse. In the first episode of Sailor Moon , a group of nasty kids were shown viciously beating Luna the Cat and forcibly putting a band-aid on her head. Fortunately for Luna, she is rescued by Usagi , who removes the band-aid that covered Luna's "crescent spot" on her head. This reveals Luna as a magical cat. Satou Kashi no Dangan wa Uchinukenai : The troubled though not outright antagonistic Mokuzu ends up killing all her school's rabbits, beheading one of them, and stuffing its head in her school bag. Mokuzu's dad beat their dog, to the point where he killed him. This serves as foreshadowing to Mokuzu's own death. Spy X Family : Keith Kepler, leader of the nationalistic university student terrorists , plans to release dogs with bombs strapped to them during the middle of a peace summit, and set off the explosives to kill the visiting foreign minister, and other dignitatries, with the hope of restarting the war so that his country can reign supreme. To show how the deep end he is, Keith's even shown kicking a dog inside on his gang's safehouse just for the hell of it. In Tokyo Ghoul , Juuzou Suzuya is ostracised by his fellows in the CCG partly because mutilated corpses of small animals, mostly cats, turned up on the CCG Academy grounds while he was a student there. Suzuya had a horrifically abusive upbringing that left him almost unable to have empathy for other living things, and he is certainly violent and creepy. But he was framed. The real culprits were one of the staff, a psychopathic torturer, and another unstable student who was suffering psychotic breaks and disassociation. Suzuya displayed a lack of reaction when found with the bodies which made him ideal to blame instead, and it wasn't investigated very closely out of fear the organisation's reputation would suffer. In a flashback of Your Lie in April , Kousei's abusive mom abandoned their pet cat after it scratched him on the hand. Kousei was being harshly trained to be a pianist to abusive degrees and his mother didn't want anything to happen to his hands. In the first stage, an antisocial boy named Tom Nero tortures a dog for his own amusement. In the second stage, now an adult, he savagely beats his own coach horse out of frustration until he puts out its eye. In the third stage, he graduates to robbery and the seduction and murder of a servant girl. The fourth stage displays his "reward" for his crimes: execution and, to add insult to injury, dissection. Comic Books AD : Judge Dredd : When Judge Death recounts how he began his long career of evil in his Origins Episode , the first obvious clue that he was an Enfant Terrible are his early sadistic tendencies of torturing the family dog and shooting at birds. Zombo : Played for laughs in a throwaway gag, when one of President of the Earth Donald Trump's assistants mentions that his boss once shredded a puppy. In Afterlife with Archie , when she was ten, Cheryl's puppy choked on her leash. It's later implied their relationship is at least somewhat forced by Jason. Evil Jimmy Olsen kills Superman, who has been turned into a dog, by crushing him underneath a fire hydrant. The Joker is simply annoyed because he doesn't know how to make something as pointless as beating a dumb animal funny. Jimmy Olsen is then beaten to death by two giant robots who appear out of nowhere. At least one take on Mister Freeze's origins had him, as a child , trying to "preserve" his pets by locking them in the freezer though it could be argued that he wasn't trying to be cruel so much as very, very out of touch with reality. The Penguin is often shown eating fish whole sometimes they're still alive as he eats them , as a nod to his namesake. He also wears fur coats, since he's a Rich Bitch. In the comic Joker's Asylum , a young Penguin goes insane and kills his birds just because one bit him. Also, in the film Batman Returns , he holds his sword-umbrella to Catwoman's pet cat, and he killed his parents' cat as a baby. The villain of the Ace the Bathound story "Hounded" in Batman: Urban Legends runs a pet cemetery and animal shelter which is actually a training camp for supervillain pets, and also performs unnecessary experiments on the animals For the Evulz. When he's being given a humanitarian award , he has a speech saying that when you see how people treat animals, you know how they'd like to treat other people. The amorality of one villain was shown when he chastises his Dumb Muscle over a mistake, picking up the goon's kitten as he goes on. By the time he leaves the room, the cat's neck was broken as punishment for the goon's failure. Calexit : Jamil's first on-screen customer was a soldier that recounts how his sister's ex spitefully poisoned their hummingbird feeder and had to watch the birds die. Calico : The villains that Calico targets are people who have hurt animals in some way. Issue 1 has him kill a rich family who shot a lioness on a hunting trip, and Issue 2 has him decapitate a man who clubbed baby seals. The Darkness : Appolonia Franchetti snaps her pet cat's neck in front of Jackie just to prove a point about how she will never let anything get in her way. The worst thing is that she did it right after saying she raised him since he was a kitten and he was very precious to her and she will miss him when he is gone. Spectacularly subverted by Marvel Comics' Doctor Doom , who lost a match against Squirrel Girl and her battalion of squirrels because Doom refuses to be cruel to small, cute critters. In Sin City : Family Values, a mafia hitman recounts how he "lit up" a diner with twin Uzis, killing everybody inside, then stopped just to shoot a stray dog before making his getaway. This proved to be his fatal mistake, as the collateral damage from this event shooting a prostitute in a phone booth next to the dog brought the wrath of Old Town onto his entire organization. Superman : In The Leper from Krypton , Lex Luthor puts an indeterminate number of rabbits and cats through a terrible death to test his newly created virus, and later to fool world governments into paying for a fake cure. And he is smiling gleefully every time. The Super-Revenge of Lex Luthor : Lex permanently damages a rabbit's brain to test his skills at psychological manipulation.

Fairy Tales The King Of The Golden River : When explaining why Schwartz and Hans, "the Black Brothers", are two nasty pieces of work, the narrator talks about them killing innocent animals before everything else abusing and underpaying servants, hoarding corn and then selling it for twice its value.Besides what they did to those once-little critters that subsequently led to them becoming so monstrously sadistic , the author commented that said Precursors probably enjoyed taking electric prods to whatever animal equated to puppies in their home. In the Recursive Fanfiction one-shot Finding You Genocide , the Titan Camazotz and his minions massacre numerous wild animals and drop their remains from the sky on Monster X like a visceral rain for no other reason than to intimidate Monster X. Eventually the Darkrai turned on him and attacked him so ferociously that he was forced to release it, but it continued to haunt him and inflict terrifying nightmares on him every new moon.

It didn't work as expected and the puppy all-but exploded. The Pokemon fic " Meanwhile " written before Pokemon Journeys aired reveals that Pikachu was subjected to emotional abuse by his trainer before Ash; his first trainer was emotionally distant at first, then showed kindness when he learnt what was needed for the then-Pichu to evolve into Pikachu, and afterwards kept Pikachu trapped in his Poke Ball and made it clear he only ever saw Pikachu as a tool to win battles rather than a person. Pikachu observes to Meowth that this is the reason why he doesn't want to evolve into Raichu, as thinking about the sensation of evolving makes him remember the trainer who was so dismissive towards him before, and he never wants to feel that way again. The Rigel Black Chronicles : When she finds the first threatening message left by the mysterious assailant petrifying students, Harry is horrified to find the caretaker's cat and its six new kittens, dead and nailed to the wall to underscore how deadly serious the attacker is.

In the Bambi movies, the enemy and antagonist is Man. They murder animals often enough that animals have to watch out for them whenever going out in the meadow, and hide whenever they're in the forest. Subverted in that Man isn't actually presented as evil, though animals consider them horrifying gods who can kill them easily with their weird long arms. Wanting to present Man as a neutral character is why Walt Disney never showed their faces. El Primero from Ferdinand is a famous bullfighter who is an entitled, arrogant and pompous character who only spares Ferdinand in the climax at the insistence of the crowd. Judge Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame likens the Romani population of Paris to vermin, and even crushes an ant colony with a tile to make a point about wanting to destroy them. He even has no qualms in hurting Esmeralda's pet goat Djali, as he got one of his soldiers to capture the goat and have him detained along with Esmeralda and the rest of the Romani people to be executed. Surprisingly enough, he is NEVER shown to mistreat his horse Snowball, even ordering his soldiers not to hurt it when Phoebus attempts to escape on its back. Conrad Cuppman in the Hugo movies.

She devours one of four terrified brine shrimp whole and alive like a cashew; she squeezes an anemone until it bleeds to use its blood as lipstick; at least two of the ingredients for her mermaid-to-human potion are live creatures in bottles, staring horrified at their impending doom. In her Vanessa disguise, Ursula kicks a growling Max the sheepdog and tries to strangle Scuttle. However, she does care for her pet moray eels Flotsam and Jetsam ; even becoming extremely distressed when they're accidentally killed by the trident which led to her Roaring Rampage of Revenge , but this is likely Moral Myopia at work. In Open Season , Shaw tries to murder animals he has no business killing, including Boog, a circus bear. He also goes out of his way to kill Elliot. He also falsely believes animals are trying to take over the world. Nicodemus: We were captured, put in cages, and sent to a place called Nimh. There were many animals there, in cages. They were put through the most unspeakable tortures.In the Shaun the Sheep feature film , Trumper imprisons most of the animals that he finds in what is essentially a prison, where they get little food and are treated like vermin. This is all to make him feel like a hero when he's actually pathetic. Plenty of examples can be found in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron , often rubbing shoulders with Humans Are Bastards. The stable master uses many bondage techniques in his effort to shoe and brand the titular stallion. Each failure dials up the cruelty a notch. The railroad men hitch more than one hundred horses to yokes to pull a huge locomotive to the top of a grade in winter, motivating them with crops and whips. The locomotive is too bulky to power itself up the slope, and even the horses struggle with the icy footing. J Sweetly Applecheeks maintains a facade of caring for animals in Tom and Jerry: The Movie , but he actually captures pampered pets and ransoms them back to their wealthy owners.

Film — Live-Action American Psycho : After Patrick Bateman murders a homeless man in a dark alley, he immediately stomps his dog to death. A dog is stabbed in Andy Warhol's Bad. The killer in Angst narrates to the audience about how he tortured animals in his youth. Hilariously inverted in Austin Powers , as Dr. Evil outright kills several people on the account of upsetting his cat, Mr. Bigglesworth got upset because Dr. Evil got upset, which was because the assassins he hired failed to kill Austin Powers. Bravo the British channel had three idents that contained this trope. They consisted of one where we see rabbits on a farm roaming around, and then a grenade falls down and explodes them , one where a cat is locked up in a cage , and one ident where a goldfish is seen, then the camera zooms out to reveal that it's in a blender, leading to where the goldfish is blended off-screen. Brimstone : The first unambiguously cruel act the Reverend carries out on-screen is the wholesale slaughter of Elizabeth's livestock. A rather disturbing example is in a Deleted Scene in The Cat in the Hat : The main antagonist Larry Quinn, before going to negotiate with a television store owner, decides to hide Nevins in a TV set by tying him up with the TV's plug, forcing him to chew on it, and then forcefully throws him into the set. To make matters more unsettling, Nevins yelps after being thrown into the TV. Not even the fact that all of this is shown off-screen helps matters. In Circus of Horrors , Dr. This eventually comes back to bite him when he gets badly clawed. Downfall : Eva Braun admits that she kicks Hitler's beloved German Shepherd Blondi under the table just to get a reaction out of Hitler. In Eden Lake , teenage psychopath Brett and his gang are showing abusing a rabbit and a fox.

In the climax of Eyes of a Stranger , the first sign we have that something is wrong in Tracy's apartment is a dramatic Reveal Shot of her dog, strangled by the Serial Killer already inside with her. Being blind and deaf, Tracy remains unaware and continues her normal routine. The infamous "bunny boiler" scene from Fatal Attraction , which had Alex Forrest, a truly unhinged Yandere , killing and cooking the pet rabbit of Dan's daughter in the family's pressure cooker. This trope ended up leading to a sequence being dropped from The Fly .In between the scene that reveals Veronica is pregnant with Seth's child and her resultant Nightmare Sequence , there was originally a whole reel known informally as the "monkey-cat" sequence in which Seth, his Slow Transformation continuing apace, decides to use all three of his telepods to genetically splice together the surviving baboon and a cat. The resultant single creature violently attacks him, whereupon he beats it to death with a lead pipe. Because there is virtually no dialogue or obvious exposition via his computer to explain what his purpose in doing this is — instead it's revealed later as an attempt at finding the cure for his condition, one he tries to put through in the climax — the first test screening audience made the wrong assumptions about Seth and believed he was just being needlessly cruel to helpless beings. As a result, they no longer cared about his plight, which meant the rest of the film was a wash. Even though this meant losing an elaborate follow-up sequence that paid off the growth developing on his abdomen an insect leg emerging from it , the whole reel was cut so Seth could remain sympathetic. Godzilla vs. As vicious as Skullcrawlers are, what Apex are doing with them — breeding them in captivity and then throwing them at Mechagodzilla to be brutally killed by the Mecha in test runs — is something that Monarch would never even consider doing.

Similar to Miss Gulch above, Mrs. Deagle of Gremlins jumps away from any possible sympathy from her very first scene and never looks back by swearing she will snatch Billy Peltzer's pet dog whenever Billy least expects it and she will toss it into her dryer in retaliation for it accidentally breaking a porcelain snowman of hers Billy even offers to pay it back right then and there but she insists she won't accept anything less than the dog's life as payback. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. He also gladly kills them himself once they outlive their use. Some of his more dangerous experiments are also kept under lock and key until his explicit command. Many of them aren't even violent, they're just bred by him to be used as The Brute even when they don't want to be. Halloween : Michael Myers kills both dogs he comes across. He's also implied to have eaten one. In The House That Jack Built , a scene from the titular Serial Killer 's childhood is shown, where he remorselessly cuts the legs of a duckling with pair of pliers, just to establish that he was always a thoroughly horrible person. Ice Cream Man : While he is more genuinely insane than truly malicious, Gregory kills his neighbor's dog and puts it through a wood chipper.

John Wick : What motivates John for most of the movie is the fact that Iosef Tarasov and his gang killed his new dog Daisy, which was the last gift of his dead wife, as they were beating him to shit and stealing his car.

In Man in the Attic , Slade literally kicks Harley's dog, which has been lovingly following him around ever since he joined the household, to drive it away from while he burns his bloodstained Ulster. From this point on, the dog goes from being slavishly devoted to him to being afraid of him. Mars Attacks! In particular, they seem to absolutely despise birds. They kill two birds during the film and also kill the president's dog. They also abduct a woman and her pet dog and swap their heads around for giggles. Finally, one of the classic Mars Attacks! The Night of a Thousand Cats : Hugo treats his feline henchmen like total crap, violently grabbing one and tossing him over the fence and attempting to drown another in his swimming pool. Horrifyingly, none of this appears to be simulated. Norbit : After being repeatedly disrespected and cheated on by his wife Rasputia, the final straw for Norbit is when she intentionally runs over the neighbor's dog for simply looking at her. Even though the dog is hospitalized and crippled, she just laments the fact that she didn't succeed in killing it. Platoon : While patrolling the village, Bunny shoots an innocent pig for no good reason. Ring of Fear : After rejoining the circus, O'Malley constantly torments the tiger that he blames along with Clyde Beatty for his downfall and humiliation; doing such things as shooting it with a slingshot.

Additionally, Avi the Jewish gangster is willing to have a dog cut open to get a diamond out of its stomach, which horrifies his Psycho for Hire Bullet Tooth Tony. Ironically, in real life, Brick Top's actor Alan Ford is an animal rights activist. Spawn : Jason Wynn uses his pet scorpions' terrarium as an ashtray.

At UrgentVet, we regularly hear from concerned pet owners whose dog or cat has decided to dine on something—or someone—that is past expiration. Why are dogs and cats attracted to dead animals? While humans find the smell of death and decay downright repulsive and nauseating, our pets are attracted to and delighted by this putrid perfume. The impressive canine and feline sense of smell can detect odor and decay from a great distance, making anticipating or interrupting the impending funky feast a challenge for owners. Theories why dogs and cats are drawn to death include an instinctual desire to claim the spoils as their territory, or to camouflage their own scent and improve hunting success—although these are most often performed by rolling on or near the odor source. Can eating a dead animal make my pet sick? Dead animals and birds can pose many risks to pets. Many pets show no ill effects—other than temporarily losing our friendship and respect because of their gross food choices—but others may require hospitalized treatment. Common health hazards include: Secondary poisoning — If the dead animal has consumed a poison e. In addition, animals themselves can be poisonous or venomous — examples include: Bufo toads, certain insects, and even some fish. Toxins — Birds and small mammal carcasses may carry clostridium botulinum i. Bacterial infection — Some wild animals can be hosts for leptospirosis , salmonella, and other harmful bacteria. Parasites — Wildlife commonly carry intestinal parasites, including roundworms and coccidia, as well as external parasites, such as fleas. Consuming a host animal can lead to parasitic infection in or on your pet. Gastrointestinal distress — Mild irritation such as gastritis or constipation is the most benign—but still unpleasant—outcome. If signs persist longer than 24 to 48 hours, contact your veterinarian. While owners often worry about rabies, the likelihood of this virus transmission is extremely rare, unless your pet was bitten during a fight with the deceased animal. What should I do after my pet eats a dead animal? If your pet has eaten any portion of a deceased animal, contact your regular veterinarian. Do not attempt to induce vomiting without their approval. Provide the veterinary team with as much information as possible, so they can accurately assess the situation, and determine any potential risks. Important details include: When the event occurred. L Leptospirosis Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that infects both humans and a wide range of animals. It occurs worldwide but is more common in temperate and tropical areas of the world. Some people infected with leptospirosis will have no symptoms at all, and some people will become severely ill. Some wild and domestic animals, such as cattle, pigs, dogs, raccoons, and rodents, carry the bacteria and pass them in their urine. People become ill following direct contact with urine or tissues from infected animals, or exposure to contaminated soil, food, or water. Canine Leptospirosis Listeriosis Listeriosis is a rare but serious disease caused by Listeria monocytogenes. It is usually acquired by eating or drinking foods contaminated with the bacteria. Unpasteurized cheese or other dairy products, hot dogs, and cold cuts are the foods most likely to transmit listeriosis. Infection in cattle and goats can cause them to abort. When this occurs, the placental remains are heavily contaminated and contact with these remains can spread the infection to people. Listeriosis is especially hazardous to pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis Lyme Disease Lyme disease, a bacterial disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is transmitted by the bites of infected ticks. Ticks become infected by feeding on infected rodents. It is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States, but is relatively rare in Washington when compared to other areas of the country. The classic symptom of Lyme disease is usually an expanding target-shaped or "bull's-eye" rash which starts at the site of the tick bite. Fever, headache, muscle aches and joint pain may also occur. If left untreated, later symptoms can include recurring joint pain, heart disease, and nervous system disorders. Animals such as dogs and horses can also develop Lyme disease. Ticks Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis The primary host of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus is the common house mouse. Pet rodents can become infected after being in contact with wild house mice infesting pet stores or homes. People can develop lymphocytic choriomeningitis following exposure to rodent urine, droppings, saliva, or nesting material. Symptoms of illness may be similar to the flu, or may cause meningitis inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Direct skin-to-skin contact is the most common way MRSA is spread. People and pets can carry MRSA on their skin or in their nose and not show signs of illness. Transmission involving animals is rare compared with person-to-person. P Petting Zoos and Animal Exhibits Certain venues encourage or permit the public to be in contact with animals. These settings include county or state fairs, petting zoos, animal swap meets, pet stores, zoologic institutions, circuses, carnivals, educational farms, livestock-birthing exhibits, educational exhibits at schools and child-care facilities, and wildlife photo opportunities. Although human-animal contact has many benefits, infectious disease outbreaks and injuries have been associated with these settings. Following established rules and guidelines, such as hand washing after contact with animals, will help reduce infectious disease outbreaks associated with animals in public settings. Animal Venue Operator Requirements Plague Plague is a serious infection of humans caused by bacteria the bacteria, Yersinia pestis. The bacteria are present in wild rodents and their fleas. People are infected through the bite of an infected flea, through a cut or break in the skin while handling infected animals, or through respiratory droplets from and infected person or animal. Although wildlife in Washington occasionally test positive for plague, human plague infections are extremely rare in our state. The last case occurred in Yakima County in , and involved an animal trapper. Plague Psittacosis Parrot fever Psittacosis is a bacterial disease caused by Chlamydophila psittaci. People usually become infected after inhaling contaminated dust from feathers or bird droppings. Direct contact with infected birds and bites can also spread the disease. Psittacine birds such as cockatiels, parrots, and parakeets are common carriers of the bacteria, but many other types of birds can be infected. Some infected birds show no signs of disease but can shed the bacteria when stressed from illness, moving to a new home, nutritional deficiencies, or overcrowding. The same respiratory disease in birds is called avian chlamydiosis, ornithosis, or parrot fever. Q Q Fever Q fever is a bacterial disease caused by Coxiella burnetii and primarily affects cattle, sheep, and goats, although other livestock and pets can carry the bacteria. Most animals have no symptoms, but infection may cause abortion in sheep and goats. The bacteria can be shed in the birth products, urine, feces, and milk of infected animals. The disease in people ranges from no symptoms to severe or chronic illness. People can be infected through direct contact with or by inhaling barnyard dust contaminated with dried placental material, birth fluids, or urine and feces from infected animals, or ingesting unpasteurized dairy products made from infected animals. R Rabies Rabies is a severe viral disease that affects the central nervous system. All warm-blooded mammals, including people, can get rabies. Rabies is almost always fatal if treatment is not begun soon after exposure to the virus. Most people in our state are exposed to rabies by being bitten by a bat. Bats are the only known natural reservoir for rabies in Washington State. Elsewhere in the United States, rabies reservoirs include skunks, foxes, and raccoons. While human rabies is rare in the United States, it is a significant disease worldwide, causing 55, deaths a year - most of those coming from bites of infected dogs. In the United States, human rabies is controlled by vaccinating dogs and cats and by giving a series of shots to people after they've been exposed to a potentially rabid animal. Rabies Raccoon Roundworm Baylisascaris is an intestinal roundworm found in raccoons. People, and other animals, become infected when they accidentally ingest Baylisascaris eggs from soil, water, or objects that have been contaminated with raccoon feces. Once ingested, these eggs hatch into larvae in the intestine and travel throughout the body, affecting the organs and muscles. Children or developmentally disabled people are at a higher risk for infection when they spend time outdoors, because they are more likely to put contaminated fingers, soil, or objects into their mouths. People who work with raccoons or spend time in raccoon habitats are also at increased risk. Symptoms include abrupt fever, vomiting, headache, muscle, back, and joint pain, and then a rash on the hands and feet and swollen joints. Other animals such as mice, gerbils, squirrels, cats, and dogs can get infected and may or may not get sick with rat bite fever, but they can spread the bacteria. Rat bite fever is rare in the United States, but it's not a notifiable disease, so exact numbers of cases are unknown. People who handle rats as part of their work or live in homes infested with wild rats are at higher risk of getting this disease. People who have pet rats may also be at risk for infection. Many animals can get ringworm, including dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, rodents, rabbits, and birds. People are infected by direct contact with an infected animal or person - most infections are spread person-to-person. Ringworm on a person's head usually shows as a bald patch of scaly skin and elsewhere on the body it can cause a red, ring-shaped rash that may be itchy. Spores of the ringworm fungus can survive for a long time on carpet, furniture, or other surfaces, and cause infections. Ringworm Dermatophytosis Infection , CDC Roundworm Toxocariasis Toxocariasis, or roundworm infection, is caused by a parasite that is commonly found in the intestines of dogs and cats. Roundworm eggs, which can survive for long periods of time in the environment, are present in infected dog and cat feces. People can get roundworm infections through direct contact with contaminated feces or through ingesting roundworm eggs. Children are more likely to become infected since they play in areas where the ground may be fecally contaminated by dogs and cats. Although most people with roundworm infection have no symptoms, sometimes the roundworm larvae can move through the body and damage body tissue, such as the eye. Toxocariasis, CDC Rules and Guidelines Regulations and guidelines to help prevent diseases from being transferred from animals to people. Rabies vaccination requirement for pet owners, animal vendor or venue operator responsibilities, disease reporting requirements and more. S Salmonellosis Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection. The bacteria are shed in the feces of infected people and animals. Most infections happen when a person eats or drinks food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. Contact with animals or objects that animals touch have also led to salmonellosis. Animals that often carry Salmonella include livestock and poultry chicks, ducklings , reptiles turtles, snakes, lizards , amphibians frogs, salamanders, toads , rodents, and even fish in aquariums. Salmonella can cause serious disease, especially in young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.

If you own a french bulldog puppy or thinking about buying one. Keep in mind that, just like human babies, they will also have teeth and knowing what to expect will help you deal with their dental development in the right direction. There is nothing scary about it, dogs lose their teeth in all sorts of ways. The first is when they are a puppy. Now with French Bulldog puppies, this is how it typically works. When do the baby teeth start coming in? After that the first weeks or about the same time their eyes start to open, give or take. When do baby teeth fall out? After about 3 months when they start their teething and continue until the adult teeth come in. By then all the baby milk teeth should be out and the adult teeth are growing in their place. French Bulldogs have 28 milk teeth and then as an adult, they get 42 teeth total. When do adult teeth come in? As mentioned before, these adult teeth are going to be there no sooner than the 7th or 8th month. When do they stop teething? Luckily for you, by the time those little monsters stop chewing up everything- magically those adult teeth have grown in. Trust me when I tell you that by the 8th month is your best bet to see the end of teething. How long is the entire teething process? The real truth is pretty weird. Not every French Bulldog is going to be the same, so the teething period can be longer or shorter. Overall, it can take weeks or roughly 4 months plus. And by that 8th month, your puppy should have a full set of 42 adult teeth.

There are 28 of them but you might only see half or that if you are lucky. They might even be spotted on the floor so you can save it as a keepsake. Relax already, the drool is all part of the teething since this is a reaction to the teeth growing in and old teeth coming out. If they still drool after 8 months after their adult teeth come in, take them to the vet. It might be a health problem in that case. Floppy ears Because of the differences in calcium levels that are being sent to their developing teeth, your French Bulldog will have that unmistakable floppy or even droop ears. In time the ears will return to stand up. The calcium level will return to make cartilage stronger in their ears as a result. Short attention spans Poor puppy is going to have a bad time at this stage, so be sure to keep them company as much as possible. Play with them, bond with them. And you can enjoy all the more drool all over you too! Running a mild fever What do you know, the puppy is hotter than usual. Do you take them to the vet or not?

But when should you expect this to start and then finally stop? French Bulldog puppy baby teeth start coming through — between 2 and 3 weeks old French Bulldogs are born without teeth. The 2-week point in their life is a massive time in their growth and becoming the French Bulldogs we know and love.

Canine teeth at which point they can start on solid foods. Pre-molars stop coming through after about 6 weeks. By 8 weeks of age, your French Bulldog should have grown all of its 28 milk teeth.

Most French Bulldogs will now have all 42 adult teeth. Signs of teething in French Bulldog puppies As you might have already experienced with your French Bulldog puppy, the first sign of teething is them chewing everything in sight. Small baby teeth: One of the more obvious signs is finding their cute little teeth. They might be on the floor, embedded in a toy, or near a food bowl. Blood spots on toys: As French Bulldogs teethe, they will chew on their toys to relieve the pain. This can result in blood when baby teethe come out or gums are irritated. Lots of drooling: Teething puppies can drool, so expect to see more saliva than usual coming from their mouths. Even more chewing: When French Bulldogs teethe, they need to relieve the pain and the best way to do this is by chewing. Give them chew toys and keep them away from anything that you value! Sore gums: Teething French Bulldogs will get inflamed and red gums. They will look really sore, because the larger adult teeth are pushing up through. Change in behavior: Your French Bulldog puppy will be in pain from time to time and might even be irritable. Try to distract them with teething toys and lots of attention. Mild fever: If you have ever had kids, you will know that they can get a little hot when teething. French Bulldog puppies are the same. Misaligned teeth: As the adult teeth come through, they might not always push a baby tooth. Your French Bulldog might have a bit of a redneck look at the two teeth sit together until the milk tooth falls out. Recommended French Bulldog teething toys All puppies need something to chew on when new teeth are coming through. They will try to chew your shoes, furniture… pretty much anything. To help your French Bulldog puppy when teething, instead invest in some teething toys that are hard and durable enough to give their gums relief. There are two teething toys we used with our own puppy which always worked a treat. Not only is a great for French Bulldogs to get their teeth around, but you can also put treats inside of it to mentally challenge them as well. What we also used to do was place ours in the freezer before letting our teething puppy have. That way it was really nice and cold and helped to soothe his sore gums. My second recommendation is the Nylabone dog chew on Amazon. This is how much they will end up chewing it! You might have to hide things, reduce their access to certain rooms, and keep a close eye on them. Chew proof your home: You might need to install stair gates to restrict access to certain rooms where your prized furniture is located. You might have to move things above their height. Nothing is safe from a teething French Bulldog puppy! Give them frozen treats: As well as chew toys, a piece of frozen carrot or an ice cube can really help to soothe their sore gums. Keep them exercised: French Bulldogs that have energy to burn will chew more than those that are tired out. Give your French Bulldog puppy a couple of walks a day and provide plenty of indoor play time too. Keep them entertained: Bored French Bulldogs tend to be destructive. Get their toys out to keep them mentally challenged and distracted whilst teething. Puppies can cause utter devastation whilst teething. You just need to look at how chewed the corner of our wooden dining room table was during the teething phase. French Bulldog teething can last a while and your furniture will know it! Did You Know? If you find that your French Bulldog continues to chew on things after teething has finished then it could be the sign of something else. This can include stress, boredom, worms, gastrointestinal problems, or even a dietary deficiency. What other owners say I am part many different French Bulldog social media groups, and recently asked people about their own experiences with their own puppies and teething. Bored French Bulldogs will start chewing your things when they teethe. Nylabone and Kong Toys are two of my faves. Bully sticks and Himalayan cheese sticks are good. We also use real bones from the meat department at our local store, frozen so they last longer, and our dogs love them. If your French Bulldog is teething and eats dry food try and soften the biscuits as chewing hard food can be a big turn off put for them as their gums can be quite sensitive. Puppies crave different things at different times and are learning what their teeth can do in addition to the teething that they are going through. I recommend 20 different teething toys and rotate them. They hate the smell and it will stop them chewing your stuff. And give him chews. It is boredom that makes them chew more than anything. Just put a knot in each end and wet them, then freeze them! He loved it and still just loves playing with tea towels now at nearly 2 years old. Would recommend putting the tea towel in a food bag when freezing. How much pain they are will vary from puppy to puppy — our own dog had quite mild teething pain from what we could tell, but it depends on the dog. But, almost all of them will chew.

Pin29 30 Shares Just like human babies do, French Bulldog puppies will also teethe. I have often compared owning a puppy to having a baby. You have the tantrums, poop, pee, separation anxiety, and more… and that includes having to deal with them going through the French Bulldog puppy teething stages. I remember when we got Claude. During his puppy months I was frequently finding little teeth on the carpet. And, we also had the chewing. In this guide I am going to explain why French Bulldogs teethe, what age it happens and starts, what to expect, how you can stop them chewing your prized possessions, how to help them, and when it stops. But when exactly does teething start and stop? French Bulldog baby teeth start to grow through at the same time their eyes begin to open. Canine teeth at which point they can start on solid foods. Pre-molars stop coming through after about 6 weeks. There will be 28 baby teeth in total and they should fully stop growing through at around 8 weeks of age which is the minimum age you can take a puppy home. They will start to fall out, being pushed out by the adult ones. When do French Bulldogs lose their baby teeth? When do French Bulldogs start teething? French Bulldog puppies will start to teeth at around 3 months of age. They then start to lose their baby and milk teeth which will start to fall out, being pushed out by the adult teeth. The 28 milk teeth will eventually be replaced by 42 adult teeth. French Bulldog puppies stop teething — age 7 to 8 months Want to know when do French Bulldog puppies stop teething? French Bulldog puppies will stop teething at about 7 to 8 months of age. It can sometimes be shorter or longer, but by this stage all their milk teeth should be replaced by adult teeth. How long do French Bulldogs teethe for — between 20 and 24 weeks The entire Frenchie teething process from start to finish will take longer than you might expect. In most cases, they will have stopped teething after 24 weeks, but it can end as early as 20 weeks from the start of the process. To conclude, adult teeth do take longer to grow in than milk baby teeth. The molars are particularly prone to taking longer to push through. However, by around 8 months of age, your French Bulldog puppy should have stopped teething completely and will now be the proud owner of 42 strong and health adult teeth. I have heard of some puppies finishing teething at 4 months, but this is very unusual. They chew because it helps them to relieve the pain in their teeth and gums. Small loose milk teeth: you might find cute little baby teeth stuck in toys or on the floor. These have now made way for the adult teeth to grow through. Perhaps you could be the tooth fairy, and leave a treat under their bed? Blood spots on toys: you might also see small spots of blood left on the toys or furniture they have chewed. Excessive drooling: many Frenchie puppies will also drool when they are teething. If your dog continues to drool after the teething age, it could be the sign of a health problem. French Bulldogs teething ears is common. It happens because they are young so need the calcium in other areas of their developing body, including new teeth. This can make their ears behave very erratically, but they should stand up in the end. Red and inflamed gums: the gums can swell and look angry. This is particularly true once the milk teeth have gone, as the adult teeth will be fighting to push through. Once they do, expect the blood spots. Short attention spans: your Frenchie puppy will be distracted and possibly irritable. Try to soothe them, pay them lots of attention, and use toys to keep them active. Mild fever: just like human babies, puppies can also suffer from mild fevers when teething. The adult tooth will grow through next to the baby tooth and can actually cause an abscess. If it does, consult with your vet. Recommended French Bulldog teething toys One of the best ways you can help your French Bulldog puppy when teething is to give him more toys to play with.

The dental health of your Frenchie is important. This breed can be prone to a variety of health problems , with dental issues being quite near the top of the list. They can develop oral diseases, and at the bare minimum I recommend an annual teeth cleaning visit to the vets. In addition to the once a year cleaning, you can also buy dog-friendly toothpaste and tooth brushes, plus use dental chews to help their teeth stay healthy. How many teeth do French Bulldogs have?

What other owners say I am the members on a few Frenchie Facebook groups, and the topic of teething comes up a lot! Here are some questions people have asked, with some of the best responses underneath. We have a toy Kong that he has no interest in, and a Nylabone and some soft toys that he enjoys, but he really wants to chew on fingers, hands and toes mostly. What have others used that helped with the biting and teething phase? Another idea is to soak a wash cloth in broth or just plain water and then freeze it for them. With the Kong toy, you should really put some food in the middle of it too — peanut butter xylitol free is great for this. We also bought special teething treats with clove oil in and puppy teething gel. And I believe ice cubes went down well too. He is 7 months old and is teething like mad. They just love to chew anything and everything. My boy teethed until 7 months. He will be a year old in July and has one more back tooth poking through finally. But it could also be secondary teething. The jaw is growing and the teeth are moving into their final place. With my dogs they tend to want to chew on harder things than when the puppy teeth fell out and new ones broke through. But she constantly bites me, but not other people. Any help would be appreciated! They should never be allowed to put their mouth on you. If allowed to do it, after 3 times it is a habit and much harder to break and they are very stubborn but also very smart and so darn cute. Lots of chew toys. They do learn biting from siblings. Give her time. They are stubborn little monsters at time. He did chew though. We found blood spots, loose teeth, and as you can see from the photo had some damage to deal with! At this time of their dental development, your Frenchie puppy will need your love and support, plenty of chewable toys, patience, and understanding. Losing your temper with a puppy that has chewed something to help reduce his pain will lead to a stressed and fearful dog. This includes regular health checks and a good diet. Open their mouth slowly and gently, and check if their teeth and gum are all fine. Repeat this often so that later on you can save yourself some biting. Those harmless-looking little teeth can be really sharp! Using a toothbrush and toothpaste might come to your mind first, which is definitely an option, although not the most fun one. Make sure that you get a toothpaste which is specifically designed for dogs and is vet-approved! You should never use human toothpaste, as fluoride is a poisonous substance for dogs. Giving dental chews and sticks to your Frenchie is one of the easiest ways of keeping their teeth clean as they are designed to rub all the plaque away. Puppies usually love chewing on these, so they can be used as an everyday treat after mealtime. You simply need to peel it and give it to your baby in whole times a week. You can easily recognize it from its yellow or brownish color, and since it appears close to the gums, it can cause them to get inflamed and even bleed. Bad breath and excessive drooling can also be signs of tartar, as well as loss of appetite in rare cases. After anaesthetizing your baby, your vet will use ultrasonic scalers to remove the tartar by the gum line and then will polish the teeth. With the passage of time, their gum gets inflamed much easier due to the bacteria in their mouth, which will then slowly lead to their gum slowly disappearing around their teeth.

The growth of these teeth follows a defined order whereby incisors grow first, and then canines develop. Premolars grow last when the puppies are about 6 weeks old. Every tooth has a set function. Incisors are located at the front. Frenchies use them for scraping and grooming. Canines are pointy. The dog uses them to lock objects. You should note that you can only start giving your Frenchie solid food once its canine teeth have grown. Premolars are flat. The dog uses them to crush food. At this point, the teeth will have achieved their maximum sizes and stopped growing. It learns and engages in many activities that promote growth while with its mother—as such, taking them home before they are 8 weeks old is doing them a lot of harm. Then comes the teething phase that starts when a Frenchie is about 12 weeks old. At what age do French Bulldogs lose their teeth? Frenchies lose their baby teeth around 3 months old 12 weeks. The teeth will start falling off when your Frenchie is chewing on toys or even eating food. In some cases, the dog swallows the teeth. Teething lasts anywhere between 20 and 24 weeks. In very rare cases, some puppies finish teething at 4 months. After teething, your adult Frenchie will have the following teeth structure: 22 teeth on its lower jaw 20 teeth on its upper jaw Teething takes longer than the milk teeth growing phase because molars take longer to push through. Is it painful for French Bulldogs when they loose their teeth? Teething is painful; it is an uncomfortable process for your dog. It, therefore, causes some distinct behaviors or effects that constitute the signs that your Frenchie is teething. French Bulldog Teething Signs You can find small teeth on the floor, in toys, or the stool. Losing these teeth makes way for the growth of adult teeth. This is because the adult teeth are pushing through the gums. The inflamed area indicates where the new teeth will grow. Failure to train them makes them think that biting everything is okay, and once they are grown and have all the 42 teeth, their bites will be stronger and cause injuries. They could even destroy your expensive furniture. You can also find them on their beds. They simply mean that your dog has lost one or several milk teeth. Drooling in large amounts: Drooling for teething puppies is a natural reaction to the growth of the adult teeth. In between birth and the onset of teething, their ears are firmly up and wide open. As such, the sight of floppy ears may worry you. Relax, though. Calcium or lack thereof causes of the droopy ears. When teething, your Frenchie requires calcium to develop new, strong adult teeth. However, once the teething phase ends, the ears will return to their regular standing and firm position, as before. Reduced attention spans The fact that teething is uncomfortable makes the puppies lose their attention pretty fast. As an owner, you should give your Frenchie plenty of attention, play with it, soothe it, and bond with it. This is usually the case when there is a misalignment between the baby and adult tooth, and the latter, therefore, cannot push the former out. As a result, the adult tooth grows next to the puppy tooth. An abscess develops, and if this happens, do visit a vet. Mild Fever.

A Golden Retriever remains enthusiastically puppy-like for many years, so early obedience training is required to instill calmness and good manners. Eager to please and wonderfully responsive, he is nonetheless distracted by exciting sights and sounds, so you must be both patient and persistent. The mind and heart of a Golden is sweet and gentle, but his body is robust — until he's taught not to pull on the leash, you'll need good biceps to walk him.

Not all mini Goldendoodles are equal, there are a few different versions to choose from each having a little different genetic background based on the pups parents. We will explain all the differences in Mini Goldendoodle puppies and how they are bred below. We raise all versions of the mini goldendoodle breed. F1 Mini Goldendoodle Pups. A F1 puppy is also known as a First Generation puppy. The puppies mother is a Golden Retriever and the pups dad is a Mini Poodle. This version of mini goldendoodle usually has soft wavy or curly puppy fur. They will shed until they lose their puppy fur, after shedding they will shed a lot less, but will shed. This version is partially hypoallergenic and usually requires low maintenance. F1 mini goldendoodles usually need to be groomed every 6 months along with daily brushing to keep their curly hair from matting and getting tangled. The dogs usually grow up having great temperaments similar to golden retrievers. They usually get about inches high at the shoulder and range in weight from pounds. F1b Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1b is known as a second-generation mini goldendoodle with the pups mother being already an F1 Goldendoodle and the pups dad being a mini poodle also. So the difference between F1 and F1b is that the mom is not a golden retriever but an actual F1 Goldendoodle. They also have very soft curly hair but with almost no shedding. This F1b version is semi-hypoallergenic and a better choice for anyone who has pet allergies. The F1b also should be brushed on a daily basis but will need to be groomed more frequently then a F1. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is recommended to keep their coat in perfect condition. F1b Mini goldendoodles get around 18 to 20 inches tall at the shoulders and range between pounds in weight. F1bb Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1bb goldendoodle is also known as a third-generation mini goldendoodle. This mini goldendoodle version has a coat more similar to a poodle than of a golden retriever. This is because the pup is more of a poodle than a retriever. Making it the very best version for anyone with pet allergies. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is required to help prevent knots or matting. This version is super intelligent and loving, and usually seems to have more energy than the other versions of Mini goldendoodles. This version is usually smaller in size, weighing around pounds and only getting inches tall at the shoulders. The smaller size makes them a great size for smaller homes and apartments.

Soon it would be time to select the one I wanted. How can I stand in a room full of heart melting adorable puppies and automatically know which one I want to bring home. The thought terrified me. What if my selection was really not the right one? I allowed the puppy to choose me! I thought I was making all the right decisions. I had no knowledge of what evil lurked out there with puppy mills pretending to be reputable breeders anotherstory anothertime Leo on the other hand, was my lone star. He was the only pup. With a little more knowledge under my hat I did my due diligence before I even contacted the breeder. He was older 6 months and to me unlike a younger pup — I believed once we spent some time together we would either have a love connection or not. A place all too familiar, you see Dr. However, when I realized I was ready to love, cherish and care for another tail wagging doodle, I knew I had specific desires. I wanted to start this journey from the beginning of his life. I wanted a puppy — born in the winter, so I went to a reputable and responsible breeder… But regardless to where puppies come from, we want them to be healthy. Does he cough or sneeze a lot? Body Condition: does he look well fed? Genitals: does he have feces or pus visible to his genital region? Coat: does he have excessive dandruff, dullness, greasiness or bald spots? Hearing: does he respond when you clap your hands? Vision: does he notice a ball when it rolls within his field of vision? Does the puppy seem to like people? Does the puppy like being handled by people? Does the puppy seem overly sensitive to sights and sounds? Think about it — who best to give me guidance and insight based on time spent with the entire litter? Kelly — the breeder!

Here are just a few that I found interesting and informative:. Conclusion Preparing to Buy a Goldendoodle Puppy Before choosing your new puppy and bringing him or her home, you should first get to know the breeder.

Dirty or cramped quarters or other adverse conditions may cause traumas that will surface later in the developmental process. To ease the process of bonding and proper nourishment when you bring your Goldendoodle puppy home, breeders should supply you with all the information you need to make the transition as smooth as possible. You should ensure that breeders are forthcoming and knowledgeable on best-care tips and habits. What kind of food or formula is the puppy currently eating? Have you vaccinated the puppy?

If you need to pick up your dog to put them in the car or bath them — you do NOT want a standard or medium Goldendoodle! They will be far too heavy for the average pet parent.

Physical Health and Genetic Predispositions Wavy coat F1b Goldendoodles are typically non-shedding while still maintaining that teddy bear look. Medical records will show if either parent dog has suffered from conditions or diseases that may be genetically inheritable. Breeders usually do genetic screening for genetic diseases or conditions common to poodles and golden retrievers. Ostensibly, if breeders present you with health certificates for the parent dogs, this means that they do not have any severe genetic conditions. If you notice any genetic conditions the parent dogs have suffered in their lifetime, this indicates that their puppies are more likely to exhibit similar ailments. These are the most common issues that Goldendoodles face, for which you should do an independent screening with your primary vet: Hip Dysplasia. We've been through the picking-out process many times. We've learned how this process goes and so what I am telling you is true. Let us take you back in time a bit. Do you remember back when puppies used to be picked out at pet stores? There were some in Boise, Idaho for a short period of time. There was usually only one of each breed in the store. That's because the stores found that people picked puppies much easier when there wasn't a lot to choose from. A few complications happen when there is a whole litter to choose from, or gender in our case. We think our option is best for puppies and new families. The majority of our families are not picking a puppy purely out of impulse. That helps them make a logical decision. You are that family. You have thoroughly thought this through and planned for it. Remember that as you move forward, still consider your logic. Often puppy families are so caught up in the emotion of the moment they've waited for a long time, they throw all logic aside and grab the first Goldendoodle puppy that licks them. You are welcome to choose that way, but we will encourage you to ask us about them, and discuss your lifestyle, expectations, energy level, and what are your top priorities. These puppies all have the same mother and father. Even though they are very different siblings, you are not going to get puppies that are that much different from each other. Mother and Father's genetics are even tempered, obedient, pleasurable, gentle, smart and happy dogs. Some are larger, and alpha in their little litter pack, and some are timid. But overall, they will be even tempered just like their parents if given a stable, consistent home. Alpha puppies may need a bit more submission work which we do along the way continually when we see it and the shy ones will need extra handling to build confidence. The healthiest place for them is their litter and mother, who teaches them how to interact with each other and to know who is boss Mother. These puppies will still change A LOT! Between weeks puppies can go from Alpha in the pack to the middle. Some of the middle kids, as I call them, can rise to the top of the pack. Their eating habits and playing rough habits can dramatically change their size and strength and temperament between now and then. By 6 weeks though, it is pretty set. Puppy's development is in hyper speed. It's like watching a newborn grow to a tween in 8 weeks. So we watch them closely, especially as they are changing a lot. That being said. Today's introduction should be just that. We will not be updating you on all of their little changes from now until then. We will point out a few things, but it has been proven that we would be wasting your time and ours if we were focusing on their personalities or even size right now. Please try to contain your excitement and be patient with us. The last few weeks have a very high intensity of care and constant cleaning, moving, training, vetting, and socializing. We try to make it seem very romantic, but it is farm work! Hard, sweaty, dirty and stinky at times! We get our hands and clothes dirty. I don't even want to tell you what hits me in the face sometimes. Thank you for enjoying the journey with us. We always fall in love with a all of them and usually a few favorites, and it's hard to say goodbye. What would be helpful to focus on. Have fun looking at the litter's photos! It takes us over an hour of sweat and tears sometimes to get these shots. These photos will be memories for you when you do take your little one home. We know how valuable they will be in the long run to you! You'll have these photos and look back at the changes. Think about and possibly make note of what's most important to you for when you come. Then you can tell us what your main focus is and trust us to guide you. We know what they are like. You are welcome to do little tests with them. There a many different ways that people try to test temperament. I think they are helpful as long as it agrees with our opinion as well. If a test determines who we know to be the big alpha male says its timid, it's probably not accurate. But if there are several that haven't stood out to us as particularly one way or another, a little test could be helpful if you wanted to try. When it's time to choose. When it's time to choose your puppy, you will be scheduled 45 minute slots. Goldendoodle Puppies get tired quickly and at 6 weeks will only play about minutes until they are all "dog tired. So, staying any longer than that is not very helpful anyway. We can chat with you, and you'll find that it's ample time to decide who is the best fit for you. We will space you out so that they are not all sleeping hard when you arrive. They still sleep the majority of the day, but they will be rested enough to move around and interact. Please play carefully with them, they are still very young. I'll be in touch with you in your pick order soon to schedule your pick-out time. Thank you for choosing Power Goldendoodles! Cost is a major factor in choosing a puppy. Before you bring a new puppy into your home, it is important to consider whether you can provide a forever home for them. Dogs often end up abandoned due to family members being allergic to dander caused by pet hair. If this is not a problem for you, any Goldendoodle generations will make for an ideal pet. However, if you or a family member does suffer from allergies or asthma, you must pick a generation that sheds the least. Thier cousin the Sheepadoodle is similar. However, some shed minimally or not at all and are therefore unlikely to trigger allergic reactions. Which Goldendoodles Are Difficult to Maintain? All Goldendoodles are high-energy dogs that need lots of attention and playtime from their families in terms of energy. If you opt for this breed, you should prepare to become active, go on lots of walks, and offer sufficient playtime in the backyard. Additionally, except Toy and Miniature Goldendoodles, all generations and sizes prefer a home with open space instead of an apartment. The maintenance is medium-high across the breed but differs when it comes to their coats. If you choose a back-cross generation, you will definitely be free of dealing with shedding pet hair and dander. However, this also means that your dog will have a curly coat that will need regular brushing and trimming so that it does not tangle or lead to matting. On the other hand, if you get an F1 or F2 generation, the puppy will likely have a straight or wavy coat. Therefore, you should be prepared to minimize it with the right diet, regular brushing, and adequate cleaning tools around the home. Regardless of the generation, you buy, it is important to understand that buying a dog is certainly a responsibility. You will have to put effort into maintaining their health and appearance, but their love and companionship will more than makeup for it! Tips to Choose a Goldendoodle Puppy If you have been given an exciting chance to choose a Goldendoodle puppy from a litter, or if you are trying to ensure if the puppy a breeder is providing is healthy, observe the following traits: Energy levels. A healthy puppy will always be very active and playful. If the puppy appears to be constantly lethargic and is unexcited when meeting new people, it might be sick. Eyes and ears. Healthy and ethical breeders produce puppies with bright and alert eyes and clean, odorless ears. Red eyes or ear mites can indicate poor breeding and care. Puppies are almost always cute and chubby! If a Goldendoodle puppy appears malnourished, this may indicate sickness or poor early diet, leading to diseases in the future. Inspect your new potential puppy for a shiny and even coat. Ticks, fleas, and bald spots can indicate health problems. All healthy puppies are excited to play with humans as well as with other puppies. Healthy behavior around other puppies also ensures that they will get along with other pets you have or might have in the future. Bringing home a Goldendoodle puppy can be an extremely exciting process! These factors, coupled with the right socialization and training techniques, will give you a dog that is friendly, loving, and a happy part of your home! Diane is a lifelong owner of Labs, Retrievers, a Poodle, Labradoodle, and, more recently, a Goldendoodle. She loves dogs and enjoy's taking her Goldendoodle Nala for walks in the woods with her daughters. Recent Posts. Flat coats are quite commonly seen in F2 Goldendoodles. These coats are easy to maintain when compared with curlier coated types. However, if you want a Goldendoodle that has the traditional teddy bear look, a flat-coated dog is not for you. Also, these dogs are moderate to high shedders and are, therefore, not recommended for a family with allergies. However, unlike flat-coated Doodles, the straight coat type does have furnishings and the fur tends to be fluffier in texture. Straight coat Goldendoodles are also referred to as loose coats or hair coats, and these pups have coats that are most like a Golden retriever. Also, these dogs do tend to shed quite heavily, making them unsuitable for those with pet allergies. So, if you take on one of these Goldendoodles, you must also be prepared to vacuum your carpets daily! Wavy Coat Image Source: Instagram. A wavy or shaggy coat is the most common type of Goldendoodle coat type, and they are also sometimes called fleece coats. In fact, the wavy coat occurs in all the most popular generations of Goldendoodles, including F1, F1b, and multigenerational dogs. Wavy Goldendoodles can be minimal shedders, although F1 and F2 dogs tend to be moderate to heavy shedders. So, to be certain as to whether your puppy will shed or not, always choose a reputable breeder that has had all their breeding dogs DNA tested. Curly Coat Curly coats are created when the puppy inherits a curl gene from each parent. These dogs have very dense, fleece-like coat characteristics that most closely resemble the coat of the Poodle parent. You will most commonly find curly coats in an F1B Goldendoodle or some of the multigenerational Goldendoodles. However, most owners prefer to have their dogs shaved or clipped. Curly Goldendoodles are minimal to non-shedding coats, which makes these dogs extremely sought after by people with pet allergies. If you leave the coat to grow without having your dog clipped, the curls will become very dense, making it difficult to gauge their length simply by looking at the coat. That said, eventually, the hair will stop growing. To make matters even more confusing, Goldendoodles commonly change color as they mature. Generally, if the puppy has a smooth face without furnishings, he will most likely have an improper or flat coat. Goldendoodle Coat Stages As previously mentioned, Goldendoodle puppies begin shedding their puppy coats once they reach around six months of age. By the time your puppy is eight months old or more, he will have his final adult coat. The final coat is usually not as soft and fluffy as the puppy coat. The coat change can be gradual or sudden, taking a matter of weeks or several months. Also, some super-soft adult Goldendoodle coats are virtually indistinguishable from the puppy coat. Until recently, crossbreeding dogs generally gave unpredictable results with the puppies taking more after one parent than the other. Now, DNA testing is commonly used by good breeders to determine what kind of coat their puppies will have. However, there are a few tried and tested methods of determining what kind of coat the puppy will have as an adult. That can be a good indicator for the coat type your dog will have as an adult. Generally, a prominent mustache is a clear indicator that the puppy will have a curly coat. Dogs that will go on to develop wavy coats tend to grow a shaggy beard around the muzzle. Straight-coated Goldendoodles usually have short, neat hair around their snout. If the puppy is anything other than an F1, first-generation pup, look at both the parent dogs. Generally, puppies take after one parent dog. However, genetics always have the final say when it comes to coat types. Inspiration For Names! One of the fun things about owning a Goldendoodle is choosing a name for your dog. For a few more ideas on what names you can choose for your Doodle puppy, check out this guide! Most people think of the Goldendoodle as having those classic teddy bear looks that everyone finds so adorable. However, not all puppies go on to develop that wavy or curly coat and furnishings that are so desirable. And, of all the generations, the F1B Goldendoodles are much less likely to have a significant coat change as they mature, although the coat coarseness and density are quite likely to increase. Interestingly, English Goldendoodles are more likely to have that boxy teddy bear features than American Goldendoodles. However, both kinds can develop the teddy bear appearance with the correct furnishings. Dogs with any of the three types of Goldendoodle coats can be with or without furnishings. F1 Goldendoodles are most likely to be without furnishings. That involvement entails providing access to the very latest research and expert guidance on canine reproduction, breed development, and puppy development. However, through the careful selection of mates, a good breeder can produce that adorable Teddy Bear look that people love so much. Shedding intensity can also be predicted through careful DNA research and careful breeding. The S gene that gives the dog a short coat is dominant. Doodle coats can be curly, straight, or wavy, depending on the number of curl genes that they take from their parents. What Are Furnishings? Commonly known as the F gene, the gene, RSP02 is responsible for those furnishings. Improper Coat A coat that has no furnishings is known as an improper coat or IC. Goldendoodles that have Ff or F IC or one copy of the furnishings gene tend to be lighter shedders than dogs that do have furnishings. I hope you enjoyed this guide!

By Dr. There are many great breeders out there that you can buy a puppy from. There are also so not so great places you can get a Goldendoodle. When looking for a Goldendoodle puppy, this article will help you pick out your perfect puppy. There are many things that you need to consider. This will help make sure that your puppy is healthy and exactly the puppy that you want. What to look for in a Goldendoodle Puppy? There are a few things that you need to check out in order to make sure you are getting the best puppy for yourself. These are: Physical Health Health and Genetic issues of the Parents Personal Preference Breeding Qualities By checking all these out in your Goldendoodle, you will make sure that your puppy is perfectly healthy and exactly what you want. These puppies are going to be members of the family, and you want to make sure that they will fit in wonderfully and be as healthy as possible. Physical Health Check When you are looking at what puppy you want, you will want to thoroughly check over everything about the puppy that you are picking out. While most people who are buying these dogs are not vets so they do not know everything that you needed to look for these are common things that you should examine to make sure the puppy that you are picking out is as healthy as possible. Energy Level: look at the energy level of your puppy. If the Goldendoodle puppy is very active and playful, this will be their personality. If they are lazier as a puppy, they may not be as energetic once they are grown. Sometimes these dogs may be sleeping, but they are usually very active. Also, make sure your dog is moving around. If a puppy is sick, they typically are very lethargic and do not really come to see people when they come near. These will be bright and alert. They should not be any matting or redness in the eyes. If they have been adequately cared for, there should not be any dirty or eye discharge around their face. Breathing: Watch your Goldendoodle puppy breathing. They should be breathing at a regular rate. You should also not hear any wheezing or noise when they are breathing. If you notice that your Goldendoodle puppy is making a wheezing sound, they may have an upper respiratory infection. Make sure that they are clean and do not have an odor. A dog with an ear infection or ear mites will have black debris in the ears, and they will have a very strong unpleasant smell coming from the ears. Body Condition: Make sure that your puppy looks overall health. They should be at a good weight and not look malnourished. If your puppy did not eat a proper diet early in life, they could have a lot of health problems as they start to get older. There should be no redness or discharge. If they are a boy, you should be able to feel both testicles. If a dog only has one, the other one has not descended. If this does not happen, your puppy will be cryptorchid. This testicle that does not descend could turn cancerous and cause many problems for your Goldendoodle later in life. Coat: Make that your Goldendoodle puppy has a beautiful shiny coat. They should not have any fleas or ticks. They should not have any bald patches of skin. Sometimes puppies do play rough with each other, and they may have a minor scratch on them, but there should not be a large bald spot on your new Goldendoodle puppy. If your puppy does have a bald spot, they can possibly have Demodex, a type of mange that they get from their mothers shortly after birth. While this can easily be treated by your veterinarian, it can be very itchy for your puppy. There should not be a bulge around their belly button. This would be an umbilical hernia. These can easily be fixed by a veterinarian, but it would be an extra cost you would have to spend on your new Goldendoodle puppy. Hearing: Some puppies can be born deaf. It is straightforward to test to see if your puppy can hear when your puppy is playing whistle very loud. If your Goldendoodle puppy can hear, they will quickly turn around and come toward you. Dogs who cannot hear will continue doing what they were doing. Vision: Vision problems are commonly seen in poodles. Make sure that your new puppy can see. You can observe your puppy running around and notice if they have vision problems. Your new puppy should be able to quickly move around objects without running into them. These are simple observations that you can quickly make about the puppies that you are looking at buying. This will help make sure that you are getting a healthy puppy. You do not have to be a vet to be able to notice that there is something that is just not right with a puppy. Remember to trust your instincts when picking out a puppy; if it just does not seem right, it probably is not the right puppy for you. Behavior Around People and Other Puppies When looking for a new puppy, you will want one that is great with people and other dogs. You can watch how the puppies act in different situations. This will help make sure that your new puppy does not have any unwanted traits. You will want a puppy that is well rounded and approaches you as you walk near the puppies. Your new puppy may be hard to pick out as most Goldendoodle puppies tend to have a very outgoing personality. There are other tips that you can use when picking out a Goldendoodle puppy. How does your puppy act with other dogs? Watch your puppy around other puppies. Make sure that it likes being around other puppies, especially if you have another dog in the house. You can quickly see if your new puppy will be the leader or stand back and let other dogs take control. You can also tell if a puppy is going to bully other dogs and continuously pick fights. Does your puppy like other people? If you spend a lot of time with friends and family, you will want to make sure that your new Goldendoodle puppies love to be around people. Watch as your dog interacts with you and other people who are around. Does your puppy like being touched? If you want a dog that loves to snuggle on the couch and be around you all the time, make sure your puppy also likes to be touched. When you are sitting near all the puppies, the ones that come up to you and want to be in your lap usually turn out to be lap dogs. The ones that are doing their own thing are often more independent and may want to spend their time napping in their bed rather than snuggled up to you on the couch. Pick up the puppies and see how they act. Do they nip at your hands and wiggle around as soon as you touch them? By interacting with the puppies, you can quickly gauge their personalities. Be careful not to pick the shy puppy of the littler. These may be fearful, which is a behavior that is very hard to change. Is your puppy sensitive to sounds? If you live in an area where there are a lot of thunderstorms or your house is noisy with the kids. You will want a puppy that is not sensitive to all these loud sounds. If you clap your hands and your puppy runs away , they may be afraid of loud noises and would do best in a quiet house. Make sure that you are answering these questions when looking for a new Goldendoodle puppy. These will help make sure that your new Goldendoodle puppy is excellent around other people and dogs. Many times, you can help train your Goldendoodle to accept new people and pets, but if your dog already loves other people and pets makes it much easier. If you are planning on getting a new Goldendoodle puppy and you already have a pet or kids, take your dog and kids with you to help pick out a new pet. Many times, it helps to know what puppy your dog and kids already bond with before bringing them home. Genetic Health Many traits and problems can be passed from parents to offspring. If you see any genetic conditions in their health record, then you know that the puppies may also have these problems. The breeder can test the parent for the potential to have any genetic conditions. Any reputable breeder will have their dogs tested for genetic conditions before breeding. Some testing will need to be done by a specialist, and some can be done by your regular vet. This condition is usually inherited but can be due to poor nutrition, overweight, or inadequate amounts of exercise. What is Hip Dysplasia? Hip dysplasia is caused by abnormal development of the hip joints. The hip joint is a ball and socket type joint. A Goldendoodle with hip dysplasia is caused when the socket that is in the pelvis is not deep enough for the ball, which is part of the femur to stay in place. When the hip joint is shallow, the femur to continually come in and out of place, causing looseness and instability in the hip joint. The femur will rub on the pelvis while moving in the socket. This causes arthritis to build up around this joint. This arthritis can be excruciating. This will put extra stress on the knees and ankles, causing them even more orthopedic problems. While there is a treatment to make this less painful, there is nothing that can reverse this condition. How is Hip Dysplasia Testing done in Goldendoodles? Dogs under two years of age can only be a preliminary screen for hip dysplasia. They cannot get their full hip certification until they are at least two years old. Once your dog reaches two years of age, you can take them to your veterinarian for the entire test certification. The hips will be grades as excellent, good, fair, borderline, mild, moderate, and severe. To pass OFA hip certification, your Goldendoodle will need to receive an excellent, good, and fair rating. They will then receive a certification number. Elbow Dysplasia in Goldendoodles Elbow Dysplasia is similar to hip dysplasia, and they can inherit this condition from their parents. This can be seen in both Poodles and Golden Retrievers. What is Elbow Dysplasia Elbow dysplasia is caused by one of three different problems. These are: Fragment medial coronoid process of the elbow, Osteochondritis of the medial humeral condyle and Ununited anconeal process. This extra growth can lead to the elbow becoming displaced or out of the socket. This can cause the elbow joint to develop abnormally, leading to a life of pain, inflammation, and arthritis in the elbow. Goldendoodles with elbow dysplasia may have no obvious signs at all, but it can be so severe that your Goldendoodle is not putting any weight on that leg. There are many treatment options that you can do to help decrease the pain and inflammation if your dog does develop elbow dysplasia. How is Elbow Dysplasia Testing done in Goldendoodles Elbow dysplasia testing is done very similar to hip dysplasia, where your vet will take 4 different radiographs of the elbows will be submitted to a veterinary radiologist. Just like with hip dysplasia, your dog cannot get their full certification until after they are two years of age. Elbow dysplasia is graded as normal or abnormal with abnormal being broken down into 3 different grades: Grade 1: Minimal bonny changes Grade 2: a bonny proliferation of 2 to 5mm Grade 3: a severe degenerative joint disease where bonny proliferation is greater than 5mm Only dogs who have a normal elbow will pass certification and should be used for breeding. Elbow and Hip Dysplasia testing can be done on your Goldendoodle to see if they have the potential for developing hip dysplasia. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals OFA , and your veterinarian, can use x-rays of the hips to help decide if your dog is predisposed for hip dysplasia. Goldendoodles who do have hip or elbow dysplasia should not be used for breeding. These are genetic diseases that are passed from parents to offspring. When looking to purchase a Goldendoodle puppy, you should see if their hips and elbows are OFA certified. This will help you determine if these will be problems that your new Goldendoodle puppy may develop later in their life. For a Goldendoodle to be tested for elbow and hip dysplasia, they will need to see a veterinarian. Not all veterinarians test for this disease, so call your veterinarian and make sure that they can test your Goldendoodle for hip and elbow dysplasia. Your dog would have to be sedated to get the perfect radiographs for submission. Specific views must be taken of the hips and elbows. To take these radiographs, your dog will not experience any pain but will need to be perfectly still. These radiographs will be sent off to for boarded radiologists to review. It can take a few weeks for the radiologist to review the x-rays and get you the results. Poodles are known to get Progressive Retinal Atrophy. This disease causes the retinal in the eye to slowly deteriorate. Once the retina is gone, your dog will be blind. This is a no treatable or preventable condition. This disease is thought to be genetic, and dogs who have this problem should not be breed. This testing has to be done by a Veterinary Ophthalmologist. Most of the time, the dogs have a disease called Dilated Cardiomyopathy. This is when the heart does not function properly, causing the heart to overwork. The ventricles of the heart will become dilated, causing the heart to have to work harder to get blood pumping all around the body. This is usually a fatal disease but can be managed with daily heart medications. If the Goldendoodle that you are looking at purchasing has these issues, it would be best to look at another breeding pair. A responsible breeder will test for these traits and not breed any dog who has tested positive for any of these issues. Personal Preference Many people have a personal preference for what they also want in a Goldendoodle puppy. Some people want a specific color or a particular hair type. Some people want a big dog, while some like the smaller Goldendoodles. By looking at how Goldendoodle puppies were bred will help you to pick out the perfect Goldendoodle puppy. Breeding Qualities There are a few different types of Goldendoodles. These are all determined by what the parents are mixed with or if the parents are pure-bred dogs. These are common ways that Goldendoodle puppies are made. F1 Goldendoodles. These Goldendoodles are made by mixing a pure-bred Poodle with a pure-bred Golden Retriever. These dogs have all of the traits that many people think of when they think about a Goldendoodle. These dogs will be shaggy and curly. They will have the teddy bear look that most people want. F1B Goldendoodles. You will get this mixture when you cross an F1 Goldendoodle with a pure-bred poodle. These Goldendoodles do not shed and tend to have hair that is more like the poodle. This breeding is the most hypoallergenic of all the breeding possibilities. If you have horrible pet allergies, this breeding would be best for you. You will also see more color variations in this breeding. The hair type commonly seen with this breeding is more like a poodle. F2 Goldendoodles. F2 or second-generation Goldendoodles are made by breeding two F1 Goldendoodles. These dogs tend to have hair more like a Golden Retriever and usually shed a little more but nowhere near as much as a Golden Retriever does. These Size of your Goldendoodle The size of your Goldendoodle will also depend on the parents. While most Golden Retrievers are 60 to 70 pounds, Poodles come in many different sizes such as Toy: 6 to 9 pounds Minature: 15 to 17 pounds Standard: 45 to 70 pounds If you want a smaller Goldendoodle, make sure that the poodle parent is also smaller. If you want a Goldendoodle that is on the larger size, make sure that the poodle parent is a Standard poodle. Most people have Goldendoodle, around 30 to 50 pounds. Some as they are breeding a miniature poodle with a Golden Retrieve. Some people love the tinny Goldendoodles and will look for a toy poodle that was bread with a Golden Retriever. By looking at the breeding of the parent, you should be able to pick out the perfect traits that you want in a Goldendoodle. When should you take your Goldendoodle to the veterinarian for the first time? As soon as you get your puppy, you should take them to the vet for a checkup. Most reputable breeders and other adoption organizations will allow you about 72 hours to return your Goldendale puppy. They will usually allow you to exchange the puppy for another one if there is a health problem that your veterinarian notices.

My two daughters and my Goldendoodle all use this same brush daily. I was kind of surprised at how good it is that it is inexpensive on Amazon. Updated: Oct 22, There are few things more exciting in life than deciding to get a new puppy. But how do you know which puppy will be perfect for you? Recently we outlined a list of questions you should ask before you get your puppy. Equally important, what kind of puppy will be best suited for you and your lifestyle? As South Carolina doodle breeders , we have years of experience under our belt and we are here to help make the very best decision for both you and your new best friend. When it comes to picking the right puppy from a litter, many people often find themselves considering the value of Nature versus Nurture - the age old debate! We have talked at length about the nurture side of the equation in previous blog posts i. While no one knows exactly where to draw the line in the age old nature vs. The first step is to decide which litter is the best fit for you. Most people choose their doodle litter based on color, coat texture, etc. Most breeders adore their parent dogs hence why they want to create more of them! For example, at JLDD we love all of our parent dogs for different reasons, but we also recognize not all are created equal. Others we might recommend for people desiring a more active companion or a dog that can be a real athlete fetch, agility, etc. Ideally, you will find an experienced breeder who can help guide you in this regard…performing a temperament test on each pup can also be very telling. At JLDD we have various exercises that allow us to rank each litter based on attributes including trainability, dominance, etc. But even if your preferred breeder does not do a temperament test, there is a lot you can tell on your own when you go to visit a litter! Well-socialized pups should be willing to approach a new person some may do so more excitedly than others , but all should be curious and accepting of human interaction. A puppy that is very shy and attempts to hide from human interaction will need a lot of patience and training. Learn more about doodle exercise needs here. Dogs that are very confident and more on the dominant side may be repeatedly jumping up, less inclined to be held on their backs, etc. They may also not be a good fit for a home that already has a dog — typically more submissive pups integrate more easily into a home with another dog. A pup that is interested in human interaction but is a little slower to approach may prove to be a more reserved dog. There are other simple techniques you can employ when meeting a litter of pups. Make a strange sound such as whistling or jingling your keys and see which pups respond with curiosity. Again, this would be a marker of a confident dog who will be outgoing and eager to participate in training. Independence is another trait to keep an eye out for.

For breeds like Labradors who are designed to want to hold things in their mouths, this is pretty important! Resource guarding is when a dog protects a resource from being taken by someone else — dog or human. For some reason, there is a solid list of things puppies find irresistible: Socks. Just like us, Labradors need plenty of exercise on a daily basis. Whether you have a young or old dog, they all need to get the blood flowing to stay healthy and live long happy doggie lives. Regular exercise with your Labrador is very beneficial for you both. Exercise stimulates neuron growth in the brain, encourages the production of endorphins with a known mood-boosting effect , helps strengthen your bones and muscles, improves blood pressure, and can significantly help with depression. Are you having a hard time figuring out how much exercise your lab needs? Answers vary drastically from one dog to another. The amount of exercise to give your Labrador depends mostly on the age of the dog. The key to taking your Labrador puppy out for exercise is to be patient. Some labs are athletic, and thus need more exercise than others. Also, certain Labradors are genetically programmed to be energetic and have high metabolism rates, whereas others are more laid-back. Here are some exercise guidelines a new lab owner can follow to make sure their dog gets the right workout. With older dogs or children, a lab puppy may well try to keep up with them and exhaust themselves before they reach their adult size and stamina. Hold off on structured games and other forms of heavy physical activity for the first three months. This will set the stage for long-term, healthy exercise habits. This rule states that you should take your Labrador puppy out for at least five minutes of exercise per month of age up to twice a day until he or she is fully grown. This can be anything from a walk around the block to a run in the dog park. How old your dog is will make a difference in their stamina. To determine how much exercise your dog needs, first take their age into consideration. Labs that are four years old and above need between one and two hours of exercise per day. The truth is Labradors can lead a perfectly healthy life with just an hour of daily active playtime. The Labrador Retriever was bred to retrieve game for hunters. That means they naturally love to play fetch. All you need is a toy for playtime and room for running around. Tug-of-War is less cardio-oriented but helps with muscle mass and body structure in growing dogs. Plus, they love it! It requires that you prepare your puppy with a proper agility training course. Agility training is great for completing a total-body, structured workout, while also providing mental stimulation for your labrador. This involves activities such as going through walkways, tunnels, and hurdles to reach the other end. You will need to train your lab to engage in the activity and this involves proper instruction. Find one that fits his size and abilities, as well as your own personal comfort level. Either due to space or having a small yard, it may be difficult to get their puppies out every day. The good news is that, with a little creativity, indoor exercise can be just as viable and fun! Here are a few ideas you can try at home. Try Treadmill Training Sessions With Dogs A dog can be trained to use a treadmill and enjoy it, but the experience will take time. Build an Obstacle Course for Your Labrador Use everyday things found around the home or office to create an obstacle course. It also boosts their energy levels and problem-solving skills. For example, you might use old boxes and trash bags to make a tunnel, chairs or stools to jump across, and other furniture for your puppy to climb. At first your puppy may not catch on, but with effective use of the treat and lots of encouragement, you can help it learn as it goes. Hide-and-Seek With a Treat! Hide a treat around the house, and let your puppy work to find it. As you hide treats around the room, remember to make sure they are not hiding somewhere that is unreachable. Tip 2. Make sure that all the activities are not just what you enjoy but what is enjoyable for the puppy. Otherwise, they may get frustrated and stop cooperating with you. Include treats and praise whenever they accomplish something. All dog breeds respond positively to lots of physical affection and verbal affirmation. This will make the activity more enjoyable for the puppy. Keep fun as the central theme and good health will flow. Tip 3. Make an Exercise Routine and Schedule for Your Dog Lab owners, take note: maintaining the health of an adult Lab is all about consistency. And this starts with walks at a young age. Take regular walks with your dog, no matter the weather conditions. Walk at the same time each day in order to create an exercise pattern that both you and your dog can stick to. Maybe you can get the puppy used to a leash and casually walk through your neighborhood with it. That way, you can vary the activity occasionally. In six months, increase the amount of time your dogs are running to 15 minutes. This keeps their energy high and stops weight gain as they mature. Conclusion As a dog owner, your foremost responsibility is protecting the health and safety of your pet. Insufficient exercise causes health problems in dogs , like hip dysplasia especially those already prone to hip or joint problems. Share on. How to play with a puppy through training. Playing has been a part of social development for both humans and dogs since the days of hunting and gathering. Nowadays, our daily routine has been reduced to mostly hunting burgers and gathering fries, but playing still remains a critical part of human social development. This is true for our canine companions as well. Ensuring adequate and healthy playtime is a big part of raising a well-rounded dog. Some types of puppy games are good for physical development, whereas others are important for mental and social development. Here are a few of my favorite twists on classic puppy games. Puppy Running Games 1. Use a Flirt Pole Flirt poles are fabulously simple and absolutely brilliant. A flirt pole is simply a stick or pole with a rope or bungee hanging from the end. At the other end of the rope is a fabric-type toy that bounces and moves easily. By bouncing the pole or dragging it slowly across the ground, the toy at the end of the rope becomes wildly animated like a small animal. Your dog will go nuts chasing and trying to capture it. But, how do their trainers first start them on that path? Playing hide-n-seek! To initiate the game, trot away from your puppy while looking over your shoulder and calling her name. Stop after a few yards, squat down to your knees and scoop her up into a playful snuggle. Repeat several times, each time going a bit further away and calling her less and less until you are no longer calling her at all. The final phase of hide-n-seek is to wait until your puppy is distracted such as when they first go outside to use the loo! Wait and see if she can find you based on sound and smell cues alone. The following games can be played with your puppy indoors, in the comfort of your sweatpants as your dinner simmers on the stove. Blow bubbles My shepherd mix Lily had a blast chomping at the bubbles and sneezing as they pop on her nose. Be sure to dry off the floor afterward so nobody slips on the little bit of soapy residue bubble-blowing sessions will inevitably leave on the floor! Certain toys work better than others—a knotted rope, length of fabric, or Kong tug toys. Start by initiating tug with the toy. Tug-of-war is only fun when two are playing, so your puppy will drop the toy eventually. If you time it right, you can praise your puppy for dropping the toy and then re-initiate the game right away. And the game will go on and on. This is the easiest indoor game for puppies. It also helps your puppy become desensitized to being touched—useful for future grooming or vet visits! A bored puppy is a destructive puppy! So here are my favorite brain games for puppies. Tracking Games Tracking games are great for dogs to put their awesome olfactory system to work! All you have to do is drag a treat like a milk bone across the ground a few yards and hide. The best hiding places are inside something like a box or overturned flowerpot. Next time you go to the pet store for kibble, bring a few old rags and ask the staff if you can get some scents from the hamsters, birds, and maybe even the fish department! Then move them around, mix them up, and let your puppy use his nose to knock over the tubs and find the right one. Leisurely Sniff-n-Strolls Going for a walk is one of the simplest and most effective things you can do to socialize your puppy. The point is to mix it up with keeping your puppy on a tight lead for polite walks, versus leisurely strolls with a little more leash to sniff around and explore. A fun way to desensitize your puppy to a variety of noises is to play this game. Gather a basket of objects from around the house and hide it behind your back. One by one, make noise with each object while your dog looks on, probably confused. Then show him the object and let him sniff it and explore it while you make the noise again with the object in plain sight. This could include your shaking keys, dropping a small pan on the floor, crinkling some plastic wrap, or clicking a ball-point pen. Meet the Car It may not occur to you to introduce your puppy to the family car, but you should! Walking around the car together, opening and closing doors, honking the horn, and letting him jump in and out are good activities. Crate games Getting your puppy comfortable going into a crate or bed is one of the earliest goals of training. So why not make a game out of it? Toss tiny treats inside and around the crate while she gets used to walking in and out without fear. Then up the ante by occasionally closing the door after she walks inside. Then let her out again and start over. This is one of those puppy training games for the whole family to get in on! Have everyone stand in a big circle in the backyard. It seems simple, but we always end up having a laugh at the antics that puppies get into when they start running around the circle looking for who has called! Pick two objects and set them in front of your puppy. Say the name of one object a few times, and wait. Repeat, using the same object as the target a few times before repeating the same thing with another object. Then alternate back and forth and see how many sessions of this game it takes for your dog to know the names of the objects! However, as much as Labs love spending time with their families, they need activities that exercise them mentally and physically. Any activity that lets them work out their energy and challenges them is something that they find fun. Fetch It probably comes as no surprise that Labrador Retrievers love retrieving. What better way to do this than with a game of fetch? This activity is inexpensive, lets your Lab get plenty of exercise, and is an excellent opportunity to work on commands. Fetch can be played anywhere and with practically anything. Labs areenthralled by the opportunity to retrieve a stick, ball, or whatever you can find. Throw multiple toys or objects and ask your Lab to retrieve a certain one. Tug-of-war Tug-of-war is a classic game that dogs adore. It also is a great teaching moment as it prevents the buildup of possessive behavior. Agility Training Agility training is something that Labs excel in. You can build an agility training course with just about anything or go to a dog park. You will have to work with your dog to help them conquer the obstacles in front of them. This is a great bonding activity. In addition, Labs are eager to please and are working dogs. They enjoy having tasks and challenges, and agility trials are a great way to provide them with both. Instead, one of the best mentally stimulating pursuit in this list of Labrador Retriever activities is to move on to teaching them cool tricks. They can be a simple handshake. On the other hand, you can get as creative as you like, such as having them fetch a drink from the fridge. Again, Labs are working dogs, and teaching them new tricks keeps their mind engaged. Find the Treat This game is one of the more challenging Labrador Retrieveractivities on this list. Essentially, this game helps your Lab test their sense of smell as they try to differentiate between the scent of the treat and everything else around them. It may be difficult at first as they can be easily distracted by all the other smells around them. This game is a challenge that a Lab will enjoy. The concept behind these toys is to challenge your dog to get the treats out of the toy. Your dog will have to unroll the towel to find the treats. Chew Toys Labs are notorious chewers. Providing them with a good chew toy is not only crucial for their oral health, but it is incredibly entertaining to them. Hiking Hikes are a great way for both you and your Lab to enjoy the great outdoors. Not only will your Lab get the exercise they need, but they are also being exposed to a variety of scents and sounds. Remember to prepare for longer hikes and bring water and perhaps food for longer adventures. Labrador Retrievers were bred as waterdogs, and their webbed feet and otter-like tail account for that. Throwing things into the water and having them retrieve it is a great way to engage with your dog in the water. You can also throw things off a dock and have them dive into the water for even more fun. This list of fun activities to do with your Labrador Retriever isby no means an exhaustive list of all the things you can do with your Lab. There are a whole plethora of other ventures to explore. Remember, Labs love a good challenge and are always up to try something new.

Breeds The link has been copied! The Husky Pug Mix, also known as the "Hug," is a fascinating mixed breed that combines the best traits of two popular dog breeds: the Siberian Husky and the Pug. This hybrid dog has been growing in popularity in recent years, and it's easy to see why. In this article, we'll delve into everything you need to know about the Husky Pug Mix, from their appearance and personality to their health and grooming needs. This unlikely pairing results in a unique and charming dog with a captivating blend of physical and personality traits. As the popularity of mixed breeds continues to rise, the Husky Pug Mix has become a sought-after choice for those seeking a unique and loyal companion. But what makes this hybrid dog so special? Typically, a Husky Pug Mix will have a compact and sturdy build, with a weight range of 30 to 60 pounds and a height of 16 to 22 inches at the shoulder. Their coat can be short to medium in length, often featuring the distinct markings of a Siberian Husky. Their facial features can vary, with some having the wrinkled face and pushed-in nose of a Pug, while others inherit the sharp and wolf-like features of a Husky. One of the most captivating aspects of the Husky Pug Mix is its appearance. These dogs are a delightful blend of both parent breeds, with physical traits that can vary greatly between individual dogs. These dogs are highly social and love to be around people, making them excellent family pets. Their Siberian Husky heritage contributes a playful, energetic, and intelligent nature, while their Pug ancestry brings a loving, loyal, and easy-going temperament. Despite their high energy levels, Husky Pug Mixes can also be quite laid-back and are known to enjoy a good cuddle. However, these dogs can also inherit a stubborn streak from their Pug parent, so patience and consistency are essential during training sessions. Husky Pug Mixes require a moderate amount of exercise to keep them healthy and happy. A daily walk, coupled with some playtime in the yard or at the park, will help keep your Husky Pug Mix mentally and physically stimulated. However, like all mixed breeds, they can be prone to certain health issues inherited from their parent breeds. Some potential health concerns to watch for in a Husky Pug Mix include hip dysplasia , eye issues, and breathing difficulties due to their shortened snout. Regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy diet can help mitigate these risks and ensure your Husky Pug Mix lives a long and happy life. If your dog has a short coat like a Pug, grooming will be relatively easy with regular brushing to remove loose hair and keep their coat looking shiny. If they have a longer coat like a Siberian Husky, more frequent brushing will be necessary to prevent matting and keep shedding under control. Additionally, regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care are important to maintain your Husky Pug Mix's overall health and well-being. Now that you know all about the Husky Pug Mix, you might be wondering if this unique and lovable breed is the right fit for you and your family.

Training and Socialization The intelligent nature of the Husky Pug mix makes them highly trainable, but it's essential to start early and be consistent. Use positive reinforcement techniques, such as praise, treats, and play, to encourage desired behaviors. This breed may inherit the Pug's stubbornness, so patience and persistence are key. Socialization is crucial for a well-rounded and confident Hug. Expose your dog to a variety of people, animals, and environments from an early age to help them become comfortable in different situations. Enrolling in puppy socialization classes or obedience training can be a great way to kick-start the process. Exercise and Activity As mentioned earlier, the Husky Pug mix has moderate to high energy levels, and it is essential to provide them with daily physical activity and mental stimulation. Aim for at least 45 to 60 minutes of exercise per day, which can include walks, jogs, hikes, or play sessions in a fenced yard or dog park. Keep in mind that the Pug's brachycephalic short-nosed features can make the Hug more susceptible to overheating and breathing difficulties, especially during hot weather or strenuous exercise. Monitor your dog closely and provide them with plenty of water and shade to avoid heat exhaustion. Mental stimulation is just as important for your Husky Pug mix. Engage their minds with puzzle toys, interactive games, and training sessions.

Take your Pug and Husky hybrid for a walk every day for at least an hour. A long jog up to twice a week will also help your dog burn off its energy. Avoid walking your Siberian Husky and Pug cross in the early afternoon, which is the hottest time of the day. This way, your dog has a lower risk of getting overheated or dehydrated.

This will both allow your Hug to learn how to follow commands, be social around other dogs, pay attention while distracted. Obedience school also has the benefit of helping teach you, the owner, new tricks for training your puppy. The Hug needs a lot of exercise every day.

They have a compact body with a nice furry coat and upright ears. Many Huskies have a beautiful silver black coat. He must be brushed weekly to get rid of dead hair and to keep its fur shiny. While if it inherits the long and thick coat of its Siberian Husky parent, he needs to be brushed or combed out at least four times weekly to prevent tangles and matting. Make sure to clean his ears weekly by using an ear wash specifically designed for dogs to flush away the bacteria that accumulates in their ears. Your Hug will also need nails and paws care too. Monthly nail trimming should be done as overgrown nails can be painful and it might also serve as a site of dirt, moisture, and bacteria accumulation. A good call would be bringing your Pug Husky to the veterinarian clinic or to a pet groomer for it to be done professionally.

Husky Crossed with Pug Exercise Requirements The Siberian Husky and the Pug have completely different energy levels, that is why you need to check for yourself how much endurance and strength your Husky Pug mix has as he grows up. Generally, Siberian Huskies need at least two hours of heavy exercise daily. A bored Husky has tendencies to chew on anything he grabs. Siberian Huskies are also suited for agility classes and activities which channel their high intelligence productively. Pugs love going on short walks, at least 40 minutes a day. They like to move around, and they prefer doing indoor games since they are quite sensitive to warmer weather. Depending on which traits your Husky Pug inherits from its parents, make sure you attend to its daily activity needs to prevent developing unwanted behaviors. Getting them to do physical activities daily will keep your pet companion happy and healthy. Pug crossed with Husky Training Properly training your pup is just as crucial as its regular exercise needs. You may need some patience on your part while training this dog breed since they may inherit the willfulness of their Siberian Husky parent. This is for your dog to learn the proper etiquette at a young age and avoid developing aggressive behaviors when he grows up. Remember to keep the pace of the training slow as your pup is still young and his body might still be fragile. Later on, when your pup is ready physically, you can increase the pace. Use Positive ReinforcementEven if this mixed breed has a tendency to become stubborn due to its Siberian Husky lineage, avoid taking extreme measures. The use of positive reinforcement goes a long way in getting your Pug Husky mix to behave. Using negative punishment-based training will not do any help, but instead, your pup might just end up not respecting you. Make it a regular routine to reward him whenever he does something right. Implement simple rules that they can follow and in return and give them praises and treats for obeying the rules. Remember not to overfeed them with food treats as this hybrid has a high tendency to be obese, especially if it inherits most of his Pug parent breed characteristics. Puppy socialization has been proven to reduce developing aggressive behaviors, anxiety, and fearfulness later on in their adulthood. Do Mental ExercisesYour Pug Husky is undoubtedly an intelligent dog, which means this trait needs to nurtured and stimulated. Bad things happen when they get bored. They can easily rip apart newspapers, your carpet and furniture. Avoid this scenario by including mental stimulation activities on your training session, which can be in the form of games or puzzles. You can modify the toy by adding treats, such as kibbles or dry dog food. Kong Jumbler Ball Toy: This toy is made of sturdy rubber which contains a tennis ball inside.

It allows you to hide treats beneath the movable pieces to keep your pup busy for some time. Husky Pug Mix and Families The Husky mixed with Pug breed is a great family dog because of its easy-going and friendly personality. Due to its Pug breeding lineage, this hybrid has low aggressive tendencies and enjoys spending time with the family more than anything. They love demanding attention from anyone in the household, including children and even strangers. When properly trained and socialized at an early age, the Husky Pug can get along well with other dogs and children. Kids love the Husky Pug because of its affectionate and lively personality. Their genuine nature and friendly disposition make them a devoted family dog companion. Moreover, the Hugs make great therapy and companion dogs.

They developed the Siberian Husky to aid in the transportation of food and people across the vast Arctic tundra. Later on, the Siberian Husky was brought to Nome, Alaska to serve in the same capacity and eventually as racing dogs, pulling sleds across the Alaskan wilderness. The Siberian Husky is plenty popular in the United States, this can be attributed mostly to the fact that they are such beautiful animals. Not only are they good-looking pets. This has earned them the 19th spot in the popularity rankings , measured by the American Kennel Club. How Did Huskies Come About? Siberian Huskies were bred by the Chukchi people of Siberia, who used the dogs originally as working sled dogs for transporting goods and people across the snow swept Russian wilderness. They were later brought to Alaska, where they helped transport gold miners to the Yukon during the Gold Rush. Due to their fantastic appearance, the Siberian Husky has long been a favourite among cross-breeders. Though the exact history of when the Husky was first crossbred has been difficult to ascertain, most dog cross breeding — within the United States — began in the s and early s. Common colors include fawn, black, silver, and white. Coat Type Medium length, straight and double-coated. Temperament Intelligent, energetic, sociable. Can be stubborn at times. Exercise Needs Moderate to high. They need at least minutes of exercise daily. Health Issues May inherit issues from either breed, such as hip dysplasia, eye problems, and breathing difficulties. Training Difficulty Moderate. Early socialization and consistent, positive reinforcement methods work best. Grooming Needs Moderate to high. Regular brushing is required to manage shedding. Good with Children and Other Pets Generally, yes, but socialization from a young age is crucial. Living Conditions Adaptable to both apartments and houses, provided they get enough exercise. Not suitable for hot climates. And with the two dogs being so different from one another, the results can change dramatically! Many people argue that first-generation breeds tend to have more health issues and can have bad temperaments. Whether or not you see this as a bad or good thing is up to you. But when looking to purchase any mix breed, you should always have proof from the breeder that the parents are in good health and were used to breed that particular litter. All reasons will be covered in detail throughout the entire article. Prone to a lot of serious health issues Hard to train and can be significantly stubborn High maintenance breed that will require a lot of attention Intolerable of very hot, and very cold weather Pug genes All of these points will be covered throughout this article in depth. Check out the Husky Chihuahua Mix! The most unique mix ever? Great family dogs and good with kids Very friendly and are rarely ever aggressive Can make great watchdogs for your family Are generally small dogs, not needing too much space or exercise IF containing more pug genes This was just a quick snapshot of just a few of their positive traits which might make you want a Husky Pug mix. The Husky and the Pug are two breeds that could not look more different even if they tried! The best way to describe the Hug dog is almost like a mini-husky that has Pug features and shape! Many people ask how big does a husky pug get, and are interested in the full-grown size of the Hug dog. This depends on which parent genes the crossbreed takes on more. Weight This is similar to height, as the two breeds are so drastically different. The weight ultimately depends on the size and height of the Husky Pug mix. The average weight of a Husky Pug mix can range from as little as 15lbs all the way to 60lbs. Coat, Color, and Markings Huskies have medium to long thick double-layered coats and contrary to belief the Pug also has a double-layered coat! Although their coat is short with a smooth glossy feel. Their color and markings tend to stay separate. Huskies are typically white, gray, black or red with very bold markings, especially on their face, around their eyes, and head. Pugs are typically fawn color with a dark snout. Husky Pug mixes will usually either be one or the other. Their colors and markings are usually either that of the pug parent or the husky parent. Nose and Snout The snouts of each parent breed could not be more different. Huskies have a long prominent snout, and the Pug snout is pretty much non-existent. Ears Pugs tend to have small floppy ears whereas Huskies have large triangle standing ears. With Hugs, you can see a range of ear shapes. An interesting observation, commonly seen with Husky Pug mixes is that when the coat color and markings of the Husky parent come through more, the ears tend to be floppy like the Pug. On the contrary, when the coat color and markings of the Pug come through, the ears tend to be standing upright triangles shape like Huskies. Pretty cool! Eyes One of the most visually striking parts of the Siberian Husky are their eyes. Husky Pug mixes have been seen to have the piercing blue eyes that the Husky can have. In even rarer cases, you will get a Hug puppy that has one brown and one blue eye. What also has a big effect on temperament is what the parents were like. If one of the parents had any behavioral issues this could pass down to the offspring and cause them to show similar behavior. We know that both the Siberian Husky and the Pug are both very friendly, loving and affectionate. Both breeds love attention. Huskies are considered by many to be the No. The Hug will definitely want all the time they can possibly get from you and the family. The Husky is very social and can easily make friends with other dogs or strangers without being aggressive or suspicious. The Pug, on the other hand, needs strong socialization training in order to be like this. Pugs are not generally aggressive BUT they can be to unknown dogs or strangers. So, how much does a Husky Pug mix Cost? Here are some of the basic things to look for when getting a new puppy: Use a trusted breeder that has references you can check on. If the breeder has been recommended by a veterinarian, this is the best. A good breeder will not pressure you into making any purchases. If the breeder seems too pushy for your money. This is not a good sign. Make sure the breeder has had the necessary healthy check-ups and test for the new puppy Proper certificates and health documentation should be present for the parents of the husky pug mix. If the parents are there, you should go and see them. Get a feel for their temperament and their general health and well-being. Unfortunately, there are many illegitimate breeders using online websites to make a quick profit. Do the same checks as you would otherwise when looking in person. Grooming is an important part of keeping all dogs healthy and you will have to groom your Husky Pug mix frequently. If your Hug inherits the shorter, smoother coat from the Pug parent, then you should brush them once or twice per week, which will remove any dead hairs that need to come out, as well as removing any dirt dust or hair tangles. The longer the hair, the more dead hair there will be in the undercoat. Exercising a Husky mix with Pug Huskies and Pugs are very different when it comes to their exercise requirements. The only way you will really know by monitoring your Hug as they grow up. Siberian Huskies need around 2 hours of intense exercise per day. They have extremely high energy levels and they need to channel this through physical and mental exercise. When Huskies do not receive the exercise they need and desire, they tend to become very destructive and badly behaved. As the parents are so different, the only way you will know how much exercise your Hug needs, is to monitor and gauge them as they grow. Pug mix with Husky Diet Requirements Siberian Huskies tend not to have big appetites and despite their size, are not greedy. When a Husky is feeling remotely full, they will leave their bowl even with food still in it. Oftentimes, people consider Huskies to be very fussy eaters. Pugs, in general, are pretty normal eaters, they typically do not have issues eating, they can sometimes be fussy, or have sensitive stomachs, but usually, they have normal eating habits. While they may not be as smart, many owners say that their Pugs are quick learners and can be very obedient once trained. However, both breeds, especially the Siberian Husky have a stubborn streak in them, which means training can be very challenging. If your Husky Pug mix has more Husky genes, training will not be easy and you will be tested from day one! The truth is your puppy is ready to be trained instantly and should be to instill the correct behavior. The longer you wait, the harder it will be. Establish the hierarchy Both the Husky and Pug look to appease their owners, but you first must establish yourself as the leader, this will also help with all subsequent training. Remember that you are in charge and your puppy has to do things when you want them to. All training should be Positive Reinforcement Based The absolute best way to train all puppies is through positive reinforcement. Do not punish your puppy when they get it wrong, praise them when they get it right. Praise can be a small treat , or by making a big fuss out of them for a few seconds. Reward them the second they get any training correct. Consistent training every day will be needed Training should be done every day as much as possible. Once your puppy knows these commands, it makes more difficult training a lot easier and feasible. Recall and sociability training should start as soon as possible after basic commands. Recall and sociability training will be super important for a well-behaved crossbreed. Shift your focus to recall training and sociability after your Hug gets the basic commands. This will be just as useful for a Husky Pug puppy as well. It walks you through training, step by step. Unfortunately, despite the generous lifespan, this crossbreed is prone to many health issues that can be difficult to fix. The Husky is a generally healthy breed with typical health issues affecting most dog breeds. There are a few common problems that affect Huskies more and I will list them below. Pugs, on the other hand, are known to have many health issues. Unfortunately, this breed is likely to suffer from many different problems throughout their life. Pug Dog Encephalitis PDE is common amongst Pugs and is considered an aggressive and fatal inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system.
