phoenix golden retriever puppies

Both of which conduct yearly inspections and verify my dogs are all well cared for. I have been breeding Golden Retrievers since .I hold a degree in Animal Science. I have worked several years in an active animal hospital. I administer most of my own vaccines, conduct progesterone testing with my own machine determines best timing of breeding through collection of blood sample , and I conduct my own ultrasound at home for confirmation of pregnancies. I conduct natural breeding with all my dogs. Delivery of puppies also occurs at my home naturally unless an emergency health issue dictates otherwise. I am very passionate about the care of my dogs and strive to have the healthiest and happiest puppies possible.

Over the years I learned so much and gained a lot of experience that has helped me excel as a breeder. While I was attending college, I ended up meeting my husband. He also shared my passion in dogs. She was my dream come true and truly encouraged me to be the breeder I am today. I fell in love with a dark female puppy from the litter. Over time and seeing so many families pleased with our puppies we wanted to grow. We felt that a large property was a must for our dogs to exercise and play. We ended up selling our first home and purchasing the house where we reside now. Technically our mailing address is in Greenville however we are in fact in South Westerlo within the hills of Albany county. Both of our families are from the area, so the transition was very supportive and the location is very easy to travel from or to the New York State Thruway or from Interstate I.Soon after our move we have spent so much time with creating the best environment and care for our dogs. Throughout the year we get visited by the state and AKC to verify our dogs are in the best care possible. Everything was thought of during this build. The building consists of two floors. Fans are optional throughout the entire interior. We have additional propane heaters that will work with no electricity. The floors have built in drainage and are covered in grippy flecked epoxy. Our dogs have constant access to water and have comfortable Kuranda beds to lay on. We have designated areas for our older puppies after mom is done nursing them. These areas consist of very nice over-sized play areas. The walls are made out of washable white plastic, and we use g-flooring with fresh wood chips for the bedding. The puppies have plenty of toys and their own Kuranda bed s that they love to lay on or hide below it. Our outside run area consists of a fully covered roof, so our dogs are protected from the elements, with lighting and fans. The play area has over feet of beautiful black chain link fencing. The large play area also offers a doggy playground area where they have plenty of toys to tug and pull on. About our Dogs: We strive to provide the best and healthiest lines of Golden Retrievers. We spend endless hours in search and communication with multiple breeders from all over the United States. Checking pedigrees and clearances prior to committing with a new line. We have made some amazing relationships with some of the best breeders, all of which share the same common goal of breeding healthy AKC Golden Retrievers. We raise and train all of our puppies within our home. We work with commands, potty training, and socialization on many different platforms and various environments. Early on we are verifying their personality and traits are conclusive with a possible prospect for future breeding. As time goes on, we decide if they are a good candidate or not for breeding. If they are a good candidate additional health testing is scheduled per their age. We conduct several medical tests to verify healthy lines prior to breeding. The health tests set us apart from most breeders that claim their dogs are healthy per a veterinarian check or that claim that they conduct DNA genetic health testing but nothing else. One of the first health tests that we conduct and one of the most important tests on all our dogs, is DNA genetic testing. We have used Animal Genetics in the past but have been shifting towards using Embark. This test allows us to verify we have the best pairing of parents prior to breeding and that we are not passing on bad genes that could be avoidable issues in the future. After our dogs turn 1, they proceed to get OFA testing of their eyes and heart. A specialist either looks at their eyes or heart to verify they have no health conditions that could be passed to their offspring. If we are lucky enough that our young golden passes, we will move forward to the next health testing stage. The next health test that we typically conduct once our young golden is 1. While they are sedated to have these x-rays we usually also have Penn Hip testing done. Also, per our vet the Penn Hip is a better test to know the overall health of the hips as they test the elasticity and movement rather then judging based on an image. Last health test we do is done at the age of 2 years old. As the dogs age their bones calcify, a dog with failing elbow or hips younger then 2 could very well change to passing once they turn 2. Under each dog there is a link from K9 data. Unfortunately K9 data will not allow preliminary testing information in the link which is the OFA elbow and hip test results if the dog is under 2 years of age when the test is conducted. However we do list the preliminary test results under each dog. Once we have the official results K9 data will be updated to reflect their latest test results. We are constantly conducting health tests and updating K9 data as well as the webpage. Lots of factors could play into why a dog could fail their OFA elbows or hip tests. It may not necessarily be genetic but instead could be from the environment that they are raised in. Limiting their jumping heights is extremely important. Simply slipping on ice can cause unforeseen affects to their overall development. It is also highly recommended for additional joint supplements as they grow, we prefer the use of NuVet supplements see link on website tab for further information on NuVet products. Lack of vitamin C in their food is another considered attribute to not having passing scores. All of these factors are highly overseen during the raising of our potential breeding dogs. Unfortunately, sometimes our dogs do not pass all of their tests. We sometimes keep them, but we also have found amazing homes for them. We are even more particular in their home placement as we know their personalities and what would be the best fit. They will be spayed prior or be contracted to be spayed soon after being placed in their new homes. We are very focused on ensuring we know our breeding stock through both their individual health and their genealogy testing. Our dogs and puppies get a lot of socializing. Daily they are engaged with our other dogs, our young sons, our friends, and other family members. They all get a ton of love and attention. This ensures they keep up on their house manners and it also makes it incredibly easier when pregnant moms deliver within our home. Our dogs are not kept outdoors like you might see with other breeders. We also have them go into large fenced in play areas where they play in large groups with each other. We do not show our dogs or conduct any competitions with them. When I am not raising my children, I am constantly spending time with my dogs or interacting with potential customers. My husband works many hours in his law enforcement career to dedicate any additional time in competitions, trials, or shows. Once he retires and the children are older, we may pursue that however it is not our current focus. Some of the lighter goldens that we have also known as English Creams do have championship titles in their bloodlines as does our darker red field goldens. Any of our puppies with proper training could and would be amazing for shows or hunting trials as its in their bloodline. About our Puppies: I usually make the determination of puppies after 30 days of a breeding. I have my own ultrasound machine and can get a good determination of how many puppies are present. It does not give me an exact count. Only way to really narrow down the number of puppies is by an x-ray, around the day mark. I do not conduct my own x-rays and that would require a visit to the animal hospital. To reduce stress on mom and the puppies we do not do x-rays. I get a final count upon delivery keeping mom where she is most comfortable. Delivery of puppies take place in my home around the days after being bred, unless an emergency C-section requires otherwise. Typically, all our puppies are delivered naturally. Someone is always with the mother for the entire delivery. It is very strenuous but has the best outcome for both mom and pups. When all the puppies are born, we will post pictures on the Facebook page. We will then reach out to anyone on our waiting list. If by chance, there are any extra puppies we will make an announcement on Facebook after exhausting our wait list. Sometimes people back out and puppies do come up available at various times. During the initial few days into the few weeks mom and puppies are spending a lot of quality time together. We are keeping a close attention that everyone is gaining weight and seem to be progressing. The pups are handled daily by us. After about 2 weeks eyes and ears will begin to open. The fourth week they are starting to find their legs and moving around exploring. The fifth week if all are doing well, I begin the weaning process where mom is nursing less and less as I introduce kibble to their diet. We begin the deworming process and also begin the first vaccine. We do not travel with the puppies to an animal hospital. I feel it could be stressful for the puppies and creates an opportunity for the puppies to be exposed to other pet sicknesses. I have a traveling vet come and conduct full physicals on all of the puppies. You will receive a copy of her report in the puppy folder upon pickup date. We have outside play areas and toys for them to interact with. They will also be played with by children and handled by adults. They will have several toys to interact with. Obstacles will be in there play pens to learn jumping and crawling. Process Purchasing a Puppy: If you decide that you would like to move forward with getting a puppy, we recommend that you first look at the females and the males that we have. Sometimes the males could change if multiple females come into heat at the same time. We also have an additional tab where you can view planned future breeding so you can have a better idea of potential pairings. Next, I would like to have a phone interview so we can find out more about yourself and the home that a puppy of mine would be going to. In our discussion I would like to know which mother you were leaning towards and whether you prefer a male or female puppy. I can go over all additional questions that you may have including total costs. If both parties are fully satisfied, I will move forward with sending you over the contract. I sell all my puppies with limited AKC registration. Under certain circumstances I will offer full AKC registration for an additional charge. If you are wondering what the difference is between limited and full registration. Limited registration means you can never breed a puppy from me and it will be expected upon proper age that the dog is spayed. Full registration is only for breeders that want to purchase a puppy with intentions of breeding. I am not against giving another breeder full registration however it must be discussed prior, and all requirements must be met that I have. I do require the final payment to be in cash upon pickup of the puppy, so there no issues of bounced checks or issues with sending monies from one bank institution to another. No exceptions. I typically only reserve the first 3 females and the first 3 males as there are no guarantees of how many puppies are born. I go in order of when I am contacted. For an example if you contacted me in May for a female, and John Doe contacted me in January for a female from the same mother then John Doe will get first pick and you would get second pick. It seems to be the fairest method I have come across and will be moving forward with that process unless I discover a better way. I also reserve the right to have first pick so I can sustain my future breeding line as it dictates. I do not allow visitation to the puppies until they are ready for pickup. It also increases the chances for the puppies to get sick and potentially all die from a condition call parvo, as they are not full vaccinated. I have scheduled meetings with individuals that would like to meet me and the adult dogs fully vaccinated prior to making a commitment but not when I have current litters. I would recommend if you want to see the puppies earlier to log into Facebook and follow my page on there. I conduct live videos where you can see all the puppies. After a few weeks old we begin to collar them so you can tell them apart better. I do not place or pick certain pups for certain homes. Some people may not like that due to a puppies drive or behavior. I personally feel training is key to your dogs behavior. You have to spend time with this puppy and be consistent. Goldens just want to please you, but they will test you to learn their place in the household. If you lack experience in training dogs, I do recommend you work with a trainer and read literature so you can achieve the most success with your puppy. You will get an hour to choose your puppy. Please be mindful as I will have others scheduled after your hour of time is completed. I will need some of that time to go over paperwork that is required through the state to complete. I have no problems if you want to bring a trainer or conduct your own tests to see if one puppy might be a better fit based on their opinion. Please be respectful of my property and do not go adventuring around wherever you may like without me being present. Once you pick your puppy and all paperwork has been completed, you will be provided with vet records of your puppy and the vaccines that were previously given. At this time, I do not microchip any puppies. I personally feel the best time to microchip a puppy is when they are sedated which I recommend during the spay. We do require that you schedule an appointment with your vet within 14 days of the pickup date. You may want to schedule this prior to arrival as animal hospitals have been extremely busy. We will have gift bag for you. There will be some surprises in there for your pup, including enough puppy food for the next several days so you can either remain on it or gradually change the food to one of your liking. We highly recommend slowly changing the food over time if you decide to change it as they have extremely sensitive stomachs at this age. Thank you for your interest in our AKC Goldens.

If we want to learn anything about their offspring, we must review certain genetic facts and statistics beforehand. This is the dog that carries it. The Bichon Frise looks like a vanilla cupcake or cream puff with a height of 9 — 12 inches 23 — 30 cm and a weight of 6. It has an affectionate, playful, and cheerful temperament, with a slice of feistiness and sensitivity on the side. The primary health concerns to look out for are epilepsy, White Shaker Syndrome which causes the dog to shake uncontrollably , and dyskinesia — a type of movement disorder. But the vet will be able to make a proper diagnosis. A healthy Bichon Frise has a life expectancy of 12 — 15 years. Brief Overview Of The Poodle Poodles of all sizes toy , mini, and standard have two universal crowd-pleasing traits. The height and weight of a Poodle can be broken down into three categories. Across the mini, toy, and standard growth charts, the height fluctuates between 9 — 24 inches 21 — 61 cm. The weight between 6 — 60 pounds 3 — 27 kg. All sizes are intelligent, active, and faithful, and live between 12 years. Like the Bichon Frise, the Poodle may suffer from epilepsy at some point in its life. It may also experience the following health issues. The Poodle and the Bichon Frise have identical lifespans, so their offspring are predicted to live between 12 — 15 years as well. A full-grown Bichon Poodle should be about 9 to 15 inches cm tall at the withers with a weight of 6 — 17 pounds 3 — 8 kg. The Bichpoo can also be found in cream, black, blue, and apricot. There are certain arguments in life that will never be settled. Blonde vs. When it comes to dogs, there is no definitive, black and white answer. There will always be at least one exception. Although, the point of cross-breeding is to eliminate certain health concerns. So, what predictions can we make about hybrid dogs? The first generation of the Bichon Poodle Mix is healthier than its parent breeds. The second generation is not as healthy as the first, and any issues that arise in round two will most likely carry on in round three and so forth. With alert and active parents, the Poochon will be no different. This mix needs daily exercise preferably outside for at least 30 minutes. It has a lot of energy to burn. Keep in mind that mental and physical stimulation are different, and the Bichon Poodle Mix needs both. A bored Bichpoo will bark and whine or turn your shoes into a chew toy of its own with your permission. OK, we get it. The Bichpoo is smart, but can it be taught to play dead? Or roll over? Or give a high-5? And Yes. This breed is capable of learning a solid amount of tricks. Just make sure to have plenty of treats on-hand for positive reinforcement. Watch how well this Bichpoo gives its owner a high-5 and pay attention to how she rewards her dog! Every breed comes with at least one trait we wish we could alter. This comes from the Poodle side. If your Bichon Poodle Mix is not socialized at an early age, it can develop separation anxiety when left alone for hours. The Bichpoo can show moments of mild aggression around unfamiliar dogs. The Bichon Poodle is a loving companion for adults, children, and strangers, which makes it one of the best family dogs. Haircuts every two months are a necessity to keep its coat tame. If that sounds like too much responsibility or money, you can shave your Bichpoo in the summertime. Its coat causes minimal shedding, which makes it a good option for owners with allergies or who want a clean house. The last part of grooming requires occasional teeth brushing to keep mouth infections at bay. Bichon Poodle owner Sandy Rothra recommends feeding your mix canned dog food because it contains a higher percentage of meat protein. This counts for all dog breeds: if your pup gets sick with a kidney or heart issue, you will need to change its diet. You should never feed any dog chocolate, onions, grapes, and raisins. Low History of the Poochon The history of the poochon is not well recorded. Purebred dogs have been bred for generations following a special blueprint called the breed standard, which is the written description of the ideal physical and temperamental traits of the breed. The breed standard is what gives purebred dogs predictable height and weight, body structure, color, coat type, and temperament. The poochon is a hybrid and not a purebred dog, so it does not have a breed standard and it is not standardized. This means that there is a lot of variation in the way individual poochons might look and act. A poochon that is a cross between a purebred bichon frise and a purebred poodle might look more like a bichon or more like a poodle, or could look different from both breeds. That said, these parent breeds are more similar than different, both in looks and temperament, so poochons are likely to look and act in a similar manner to the parent breeds. Some might question the reasoning behind breeding together such similar breeds. Crossbred puppies have the potential of inheriting congenital diseases and disorders present in both parent breeds. The poochon is not recognized by any of the purebred dog registries such as the American Kennel Club or United Kennel Club. What Is a Designer Dog Breed? Poochon Care Grooming requirements for the poochon are the same as those for the bichon frise and poodle. The curly, dense coat of the poochon sheds very little or not at all, but daily brushing or brushing every other day is necessary to remove loose hair from the coat and prevent matting. Grooming Poochons with undercoats likely need more frequent brushing than poochons with single coats. Like their parent breeds, poochons need haircuts from a professional groomer every four to eight weeks. Clean the ears with a pet safe ear cleaner if they look dirty. If you see excessive dirt or redness in the ears, or if your poochon is shaking its head or scratching at the ears, schedule a veterinary visit. Exercise Both parent breeds of the poochon are lively and energetic, but poochons are small enough to get enough exercise through one or two daily walks plus playtime with you inside or outdoors. Some poochons are athletic and might enjoy training for dog sports like agility and flyball. Training Like the bichon and poodle, poochons are extremely smart and trainable. Bichons were once famous as circus dogs performing charming tricks, and poodles are considered one of the smartest breeds. Poochons respond readily to positive training methods like clicker training along with tasty treats and other food rewards. Most purebred dogs have specific inherited health issues common to the breed. Crossing bichons with poodles means that poochon puppies are at risk of inheriting any of the genetic diseases found in either breed. The bichon frise is prone to:. Your vet can help you develop a care routine that will keep your dog healthy. Poochons have high energy and are prone to weight gain. Make sure your dog gets frequent walks and play sessions through out the day. If you keep a hanky near by to wipe their eyes when they get moist, it can help minimize the tear stains that their breed is prone to getting. Multiple dogs sometimes clean each others eyes, but dogs typically do not clean their own eyes. Check their ears for debris and pests daily and clean them as recommended by your vet. They should not be clicking loudly against the floor. Your groomer can help with this. You should brush their teeth daily, as small breeds are prone to dental issues. Poochon Feeding An ideal Poochon diet should be formulated for a small breed with moderate to high energy. They have a tendency to gain weight if they are overfed, so you should stick to a regular feeding schedule and not leave food out during the day. The main colors of Poochons are cream, tan, and apricot. Usually their coats are solid, and sometimes they have blend of colors. Less common colors are black or grey. Both parent breeds are high maintenance when it comes to grooming, and you can expect the same from the Poochon. These pups will most likely require daily brushing along with shampooing every few weeks with a mild product and monthly grooming. Poochons are prone to tear stains. If you decide to adopt a Poochon, keep a cloth tissue on hand to dab their eyes regularly. It helps manage the tear staining quite a bit. Poochon Children And Other Pets Poochons adore kids and families and the endless noise and commotion that comes with them. However, because the Poochon is a small dog, they can be easily injured by overly excited children. As with every breed, you should always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party. No dog, no matter how friendly, should ever be left unsupervised with a child. The Poochon enjoys the company of other dogs, as long as they receive their fair share of attention from their owner. Since Poochons have a social nature, a family with lots of animals could be ideal. For an active, social person, the Poochon could be your perfect co-pilot for life. Poochon Rescue Groups It may be hard to find a breed-specific rescue for Poochons because they are a mixed breed. However, you may want to try Poodle or Bichon Frise breed-specific rescues, as they often care for mixes, as well. Here are some rescues you can try:. What Is the History of Bichon Poodles? In order to understand what a poochon might be like, we need to know more about the history of the bichon frise and the poodle. The bichon frise hails from Tenerife in the Canary Islands and was popular among the nobility of France, Spain, and Italy from about the 13th century onward. After the French Revolution in , these little dogs lost their noble benefactors. They ended up performing tricks, first as street performers, then in circuses. Just like bichon frises, poodles found popularity amongst French nobility and even spent some time in European circuses. However, their roots have nothing to do with luxury or the performing arts. Instead, poodles were duck hunters that originated in Germany. Even today, standard poodles are used for hunting fowl. As for the bichon poodle, this mix cropped up around the late s in Australia. It is believed that breeders were attempting to create an active but affectionate pet that would make a wonderful companion for families with kids. Though poodles come in three sizes, only miniature and toy poodles are typically chosen to mate with bichon frises. Poochons are small dogs with long curly hair often clipped short , fluffy tails, and cute button noses. They can come in various colors, but some of the most popular are apricot, cream, white, and red. Most bichpoos will be toy to miniature sized. What Size Is a Bichon Poodle? Bichon poodles are 9 to 15 inches tall and weigh between 6 and 17 pounds on average. Bichpoos with a toy poodle parent are more likely to be on the smaller side of this scale, whereas those with a miniature poodle parent may be on the larger end of this range. Both bichon frises and poodles have hair that is curly and grows long. Therefore, you can expect the same from a bichon poodle mix. Bichon poodles are happy-go-lucky dogs that see everyone as their friend. They make lovely family pets as they are great with children and enjoy activity and play. Bichpoos are very affectionate with their families and enjoy cuddling and being petted. Are Bichon Poodles Affectionate? Bichon frises were bred to be companion dogs, and poodles are known to be affectionate toward their families. Therefore, you can expect a mix of the two to be an absolutely loving dog. If you want a dog you can cuddle with; there is a high chance that a bichpoo will want to cuddle with you, too. They are wonderful little lapdogs who welcome physical touch. Bichon poodles are also quite friendly toward strangers. In fact, they tend to view everyone as friends and are quick to warm up to new people. This mixed breed is both gentle and playful. That said, it is important to always supervise kids and dogs. Because the bichon poodle is diminutive, children must be taught how to safely handle and respect this breed so as not to cause injury. While bichon frises have a low prey drive, the same cannot be said of the poodle, who was originally bred for hunting. So it would not be a total surprise should they enjoy chasing squirrels in the yard. If you have small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, or the like, be aware of the possibility that a bichpoo may see them as prey. Socializing a bichon poodle mix puppy with small animals can help, but it is recommended that you exercise caution if you decide to keep small pets in a home with a bichpoo. Though small animals may be out, other dogs are not. Bichon poodles tend to be quite friendly toward fellow dogs. Are Bichon Poodles Aggressive? Though it is possible for any dog of any breed to become aggressive, this is definitely not the norm for the bichon poodle. This breed is generally very friendly and happy-go-lucky toward everyone they meet. Fear can be a cause of aggression. Do Bichon Poodles Bark a Lot? Bichon poodles are not known for being quiet. How much a dog barks will vary by individual, but it is not uncommon for bichpoos to bark a lot. This may not make them the best option if you live in an apartment with noise restrictions. However, if you are dedicated to putting in the effort, you can teach them to bark less. This training can work especially well if you start it during puppyhood, but training at any age can still be effective. Are Bichon Poodles Intelligent? Bichon Poodles are very smart little dogs. Poodles themselves are considered one of the smartest dog breeds, and we know that bichons frises are more than capable of learning complex tricks — after all, they did spend time in the circus! So a dog born of these two intelligent breeds is likely to be a smarty-pants. Are Bichon Poodles Easy to Train? Training is a joy when you have an intelligent dog that enjoys learning. This is definitely true of the bichon poodle. These little dogs are eager to please as they love receiving praise and treats from their favorite people. Because they are smart, they can also learn a plethora of interesting cues, including complicated tricks. We always recommend that dog owners take their pups to a training class of some sort because it keeps you on task with your training, allows you to ask questions, provides socialization, and offers a new or distracting environment for your dog to learn in. However, the bichon poodle is relatively easy to train, so hiring a professional trainer, while helpful, is not necessary. Similarly, you do not need to be an experienced trainer to successfully teach your bichon poodle new skills. Do your research, be clear and consistent, and use positive reinforcement techniques. Respect your dog and remember that training should be fun, and your bichpoo will be trained before you know it. Are Bichon Poodles Energetic? The bichon poodle is considered a high-energy breed, which is no surprise since one of their parents, the poodle, was originally bred for hunting. You should definitely walk a poochon daily as well as engage in play. Bichon poodles will enjoy a romp around a yard but are also happy to play indoors. Most bichon poodles are satisfied with about an hour of exercise per day. If your poochon seems bored, then you may need to provide even more exercise. Aside from their barking habits, bichon poodles can be a great option for apartment living. They can easily get their exercise via walks or even indoor games on rainy days. Are Bichon Poodles Good Watchdogs? A bichon poodle will alert you to the presence of someone at the door or anything else they find out of place. For this reason, they can be considered good watchdogs. However, they are very friendly toward strangers and, of course, are quite small, so they cannot offer you much more than a four-legged alarm system. Bichon poodles are too small to fit every service niche for instance, they could not guide the blind , but they can make for talented service dogs in general. Their loving, affectionate nature would also make them a great option for someone who is looking to get an emotional support animal. For those who want to bring joy to others, a bichon poodle would likely excel as a therapy dog because they tend to be quite friendly and do well with children and adults. How to Care for a Bichon Poodle The bichon poodle usually requires visits to a groomer every four to six weeks to have their coat clipped. Otherwise, they require brushing at least weekly and should have their ears checked for infection regularly. Perhaps the most vital care for a bichon poodle is dental care. You must brush their teeth every single day. This is because the bichon poodle is predisposed to periodontal disease, and it is not uncommon for this breed to lose teeth because of it. This is because the bacteria growing in an unhealthy mouth can spread, often leading to systemic issues in the heart, kidneys, or liver. As their hair grows back out, you should brush even more frequently to prevent matting. Mats make it difficult for groomers to give the dog a neat clip, and severe matting is painful. Bathing once a month is enough for a poochon, but you can also choose to bathe as needed. Do Bichon Poodles Shed? The bichon poodle mix is a minimal shedder. This is because their hair grows long and continuously. This cycle of growth can take years, which is why the breed is considered low shedding and hypoallergenic. What Should a Bichon Poodle Eat? Bichon poodles should eat the highest quality small breed dog food you can afford. The best dog foods meet AAFCO guidelines, are formulated by a veterinary nutritionist, and undergo feeding trials. To determine how much to feed your bichon poodle, check the guidelines on your preferred dog food. Bichon poodles are at risk for all the same diseases for which poodles and bichon frises are at risk. Though these health risks may seem scary, there are ways to increase your chances of getting a healthy pup who will live a long, happy life. The best option is to get your bichon poodle puppy from a responsible breeder who health tests their dogs. These health tests ensure that the parent dogs do not have any identifiable diseases that could be passed on to the offspring. Responsible breeders not only health test their dogs but are also more than willing to share the results with potential adopters. Poodles live between 10 and 18 years whereas bichon frises live about 14 to 15 years. Therefore, you can expect a bichpoo to have a similar lifespan. Are Bichon Poodles Expensive? Your recurring monthly expenses for a bichpoo will mostly consist of grooming and food. How to Find a Bichon Poodle Breeder? What are your credentials? You should learn about how long the breeder has been in business and how familiar they are with bichon poodles. Have the parent animals undergone health testing? Ask to see these tests. Can I see where the dogs are kept? Can I meet the parent? How do you socialize your puppies? Socialization is important for puppies to become friendly and confident. Are the puppies up-to-date on vaccinations? Do you offer a health guarantee with a contract? Some breeders guarantee the health of their puppies: should your puppy come down with a serious illness early on, the breeder may offer to reimburse the purchase price of the dog or even take the puppy back. This will also help you avoid irresponsible breeders. What do you require of potential adopters? Many breeders want to make sure their puppies are going to homes where they will be treated well and kept for life. Therefore, breeders may ask a number of questions about you, your situation, and your experience as a dog owner. Can You Adopt a Bichon Poodle? These shelters typically rescue mixes of their designated breeds. You should also keep an eye on small breed rescues. Are Bichon Poodles Purebred? Bichon poodles are not purebred. Rather, they are the offspring of two purebred dogs: the poodle and the bichon frise. Some bichon poodles may also have two bichon poodle parents. Can You Show Bichon Poodles? Unfortunately, only purebred dogs are allowed to be shown. This is partly because purebreds have a set standard for how each breed should look and be proportioned. No such standard exists for mixed breeds like the bichon poodle, so they cannot participate in dog shows. The bichon poodle would make a great first dog for a new dog owner. The bichon poodle is a wonderful dog with many desirable traits. The Bichon poodle may be right for you if: You want a dog you can cuddle with. You have children and want a family dog. You want a dog that has low-maintenance grooming needs. Finding a Bichon Poodle puppy The History The Bichpoo originated in Australia during the s, as a loving household pet that would do well with children and other pets. This hybrid has quickly grown in popularity in recent years, as more people discover their benefits as companion animals. But their history goes way further back than that. The Bichon Frise is thought to be descendant from the Bichon Tenerife, a member of the Barbichon breed family. The Bichon got its start on the Canary Islands, specifically on the island of Tenerife. The breed has roots dating back to at least the 13th century, when they grew quite popular with European royalty as lapdogs. Eventually the breed made its way to the Americas, where it was officially recognized by the AKC in the early s. The Poodle has a storied history dating back at least years. It is thought to have originated in Germany, where it was bred for retrieving waterfowl for hunters. The Standard Poodle, the original breed, was bred down to the Miniature, which was then bred down again to the Toy variety. Today, all three versions of the Poodle — as well as their various cross-breeds — remain popular. What is the temperament of the Bich Poo? The Bich Poo typically takes on many of the characteristics of its parent breeds. Most Bichon Poodle mixes will have a lively, affectionate and active disposition. They are also quite intelligent. Typically a Bichon Toy Poodle will have an accommodating, patient nature. This makes them a good choice for households with children or other pets. They are prone to sudden bursts of energy, so you will commonly see them zooming around for short periods of time. They also tend to bark a lot. This can make them good watchdogs. But it also means that if they are not trained properly at a young age, barking can become excessive. Poochons typically do not do well if left alone. They are prone to separation anxiety and tend to bark continuously when left by themselves. Bichon Poodle puppies could take on more characteristics from one parent breed or the other. Physical Characteristics The physical characteristics and appearance of this breed can vary, just as the behavioral tendencies can differ. It depends which parent breed comes through stronger. With that said, the bulk of these dogs are small, at 6 to 12 pounds on average. They typically have a height of 9 to 14 inches when fully grown. The size of a Bichpoo dog will also vary depending on the size of the parents, and whether the Poodle parent was of the Miniature or Toy variety. Their cute button nose is the only feature to emerge from the thick curls. Their coats are typically quite soft, as long as they are properly maintained and cared for. They also inherit the Poodle tendency for very minimal shedding. The Bichon Poodle coat is typically white or apricot, with various other light shades being possible, but not common. The Bichon Poo requires frequent brushing to keep their coat soft and prevent matting. Ideally, you should brush its coat daily. Frequent Bichon Poo haircuts are a necessity. Coats should be trimmed every two months or so to maintain a manageable length and prevent matting. Shedding is very minimal with this breed, but routine brushing is still essential. Dental care is also important for this breed, as they can be susceptible to gum infections and related dental problems. They have a moderate to high energy level, and enjoy frequent walks and playtime. Because of their small size, they do better with frequent shorter walks, instead of long ventures once a day. They also tend to have quick bursts of energy, during which time they love to run around and play. As for training, this mix is typically eager to please. This is particularly true with problem behaviors like excessive barking. Health Concerns Bichon Poodle mixes are prone to many of the health concerns that are prevalent in their parent breeds. Eye problems are common, including progressive retinal atrophy and cataracts. Dental concerns are another common issue. Bichons, in particular, are prone to gum infections and tooth loss. Other concerns like patellar luxation, hip dysplasia, sebaceous adenitis, and Von Willebrand disease are also common. Many of these health concerns can be tested for. Reputable breeders will conduct health tests on their breeding stock to help minimize the risk of complications. Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that first generation mixes i. Second generations and beyond the offspring of two Bichon Poodle mixes are more likely to show health concerns common in Poodle and Bichon Frise dogs. Thus, some experts recommend specifically seeking out reputable breeders that offer first-generation puppies. As with any breed, frequent veterinary checkups are important and should be scheduled at least once a year. A good breeder will conduct health tests on their breeding stock to help reduce the risk of various inherited health concerns. To locate breeders, search the web for resources in your area. Before settling on a breeder, be sure to do some research into the background and reputation of the company or individual. Reputable breeders will not hesitate to show you health records and test results. It is considered a designer dog breed. The mix originated in Australia and started appearing in the late s. The goal was to breed a low or non-shedding dog that was sturdy and active with a temperament for families with children. The Bich-Poo is charming, affectionate, highly intelligent, and eager to please. They tend to get along well with other pets and with children, which makes them a great fit for families. Bich-Poos are also alert watchdogs. They can be prone to excessive barking, but training and socialization as a puppy can curb this tendency. Although they will alert you as a watchdog, they are more interested in making friends, so will not make a good guard dog. Bich-Poos are highly adaptable. They do well in apartments or larger homes as long as they get enough exercise and fit right in with families with children, other pets, or both. They do well in most climates and, as with most dog breeds, caution should be taken with extreme heat or cold. With this first generation cross, many of the health issues associated with the parent breeds are often not a concern. However, there is always the potential for inherited issues. Some of the potential breed-related health concerns are allergies, patella luxation, and progressive retinal atrophy. Because they are a small dog breed, they are also prone to breaks and fractures if dropped. This designer dog breed tends to be highly intelligent. That, paired with their eagerness to please their owner, makes them quick learners and fairly easy to train. They tend to be a good fit for owners of any experience level. Novice owners may want to enroll in obedience and training classes to ensure training and socialization is going as it should. A professional trainer can also help you put a plan in place to eliminate any potential issues with separation anxiety or the nipping that can become a common fear or anxiety response in small dogs. A Bich-Poo will often have a soft and curly coat. If their coat takes on Poodle properties, then it will be low-shedding and hypoallergenic. Common coat colors are typically light, like white or apricot, but can appear in other colors like tan, brown, black, or gray. Professional grooming every six to eight weeks is also a good idea for a healthy coat. You will also want to trim their nails monthly and clean their eyes and ears regularly. Although small, these dogs are robust and energetic. They tend to have bouts of high energy and require regular exercise throughout the day. Although they are active dogs, moderate levels of exercise will be enough to tire them out. Regular exercise, like daily walks and active playtime, will help immensely when your pup gets a sudden spike of energy and starts racing. Some of their energy bursts can seem endless, but, due to their smaller size, they do tend to tire quickly, so these bouts of energy will likely be on the shorter side. After that, your Bich-Poo will likely be ready for a nap and some cuddles. Keeping your dog well-exercised and engaged is key. A bored dog is one that can become restless and start to whine, chew, or bark. This designer dog breed usually stands inches tall at the shoulder and can weigh between pounds. A Bichpoo will generally live between years. Featured Bich-poo Article.

These little dogs are like no other and make excellent pets! This article will introduce you to the delightful and adorable adventures that come with owning a 3 week old Frenchie. From potty training to teething, the French Bulldog puppy can bring you and your family lots of joy and fun. What is a French Bulldog? A French Bulldog is a unique breed of small dog that has its origins in France. It is a cross between a bulldog and a terrier, and it has a cute, compact-sized body and wide-set ears that give it a distinct look. French Bulldogs are known for their gentle and affectionate personalities, and they are often described as being incredibly loyal and loving to their owners. As a result, French Bulldogs make excellent pets for busy owners or those with limited space. When it comes to taking care of a French Bulldog, there are a few things to keep in mind. To start off, French Bulldogs require regular grooming, as their coat needs to be brushed and clipped in order to remain healthy. French Bulldogs have a tendency to gain weight if they are not regularly exercised. To keep them healthy, owners should make sure to give their Frenchies regular walks and access to plenty of playtime. Training is essential when it comes to French Bulldogs. They can be difficult to potty train, so owners should start early and be consistent with their training. Socialization is also important, as it helps Frenchies learn to interact with other dogs and people. With the right training and care, French Bulldogs can be happy, healthy and lovable companions. Overview of the Article This article presents an opportunity to learn more about a 3-week-old French Bulldog. Get ready to embark on a journey of puppies and cuteness! This can help your pup develop strong relationships with family and friends. Puppies are curious and energetic, and it is important to provide them with the right environment to learn and grow. First and foremost, potty training is key. Although puppies are not fully housebroken at three weeks, they can begin to learn the basics with regularity and consistency. Use a designated spot outside for bathroom breaks and reward your puppy when they use it. Also keep in mind that puppies need to relieve themselves often, so make sure they are getting plenty of opportunities. Socialization and interaction are also important during the first few weeks. Introducing your pup to other people, animals, and environments is essential for their development. Make sure to have plenty of playtime and positive exposure for your pup. Teething can cause discomfort, so provide plenty of chew toys for your pup to keep them occupied and distracted. By providing your pup with regular potty breaks, plenty of socialization and interaction, and the proper chew toys, you can ensure that their adorable adventures are a success. Life of a Puppy Life of a Puppy can be a lot of fun. You need to be prepared to spend a lot of time playing and socializing with your pup to help them grow into a well-adjusted dog. This includes regular exercise and playtime, as well as introducing them to strange sounds, surfaces, and people. With the right amount of love, patience, and positive reinforcement, your puppy will quickly become a beloved part of the family. Adorable Quirks French Bulldog puppies are full of quirks that make them so lovable! Little things like their snorts and snuffles, their love for cuddling and belly rubs, and their enthusiasm for playing with toys are just some of the adorable quirks that will make you smile. Make sure to use positive reinforcement when they show good behavior. Make sure to also give them plenty of opportunities to explore and learn. Potty Training Potty training a French Bulldog can seem like a daunting task for many. With a bit of patience, consistency and positive reinforcement, your French Bulldog will be potty trained in no time. The key thing to remember when potty training any puppy is to stay consistent. Establish a set schedule and stick to it. Take your puppy out every two to three hours, especially after meals and naps. When you take your French Bulldog outside, lead them to the designated potty spot and give them plenty of time to go. Be sure to reward them with praise and a treat each time they go in the right spot. If your puppy has an accident inside, never scold them. Clean it up and figure out what was going wrong. Add a few potty pads or newspapers to the area and help your puppy understand that it is an acceptable place to go. If your puppy is having a difficult time, it may be helpful to enlist the help of a trainer to give you a few pointers. With just a few small changes, your puppy will be potty trained in no time! Start as soon as possible introducing them to as many other dogs and people as possible. Introduce them to different environments, including parks, pet stores, and other places you would typically take a pup. Allow them to get comfortable with strangers, different sounds, and new experiences. Allow your pup to interact with other people and other dogs. This will help them become used to different people and dogs so they will be comfortable in many social settings. Be sure to reward your pup with lots of praise, petting, and treats when they behave well around others. A positive reinforcement system helps your pup understand what behaviors you want them to learn and repeat. Make sure to provide a safe environment for your pup, as new experiences can be overwhelming. If you notice your pup is becoming stressed or anxious, take a break and provide them some comforting reassurance. Start with a few commands and add more as they master the basics. Training will help your pup understand that certain behaviors are expected from them. Your pup will learn quickly with consistent, positive reinforcement. Through socialization and training, your French Bulldog will grow into a well-behaved, confident pooch. During teething, your pup may experience pain and discomfort, and will likely become more active, chew anything he can find, and salivate more than usual. To help your pup through the teething process, provide him with appropriate chew toys and offer him plenty of praise and rewards for chewing on them. You should also keep an eye out for any signs of tooth or gum problems, such as redness or swelling, and take your pup to the vet if you notice these symptoms. Try to avoid giving your pup human food or treats during teething, as this can lead to indigestion or other gastrointestinal issues. With your help, teething can be a positive and enjoyable experience for you and your pup. Post Views: .Home » Blog » What happens with your Frenchie in their first few weeks What happens with your Frenchie in their first few weeks You certainly want to know about every minute of your sweet puppy. Last year we did a documentary about our breeding program in which we showed where our Frenchies live and we also wrote about how our program has grown over the years. In this article, we share with you how we help our little puppies on the TomKings Puppies farm, from the first moments of their lives until we find a forever loving family for them. The vet checks if everything is fine and we take them home. The average birth weight of a Frenchie is 0. Their size strongly depends on the size of the litter; when there are a fewer of them they can be as big as a two-week-old puppy from an other litter. Newborn puppies are deaf and blind and absolutely helpless so we are here to assist their mother to nurture them. In the first two weeks They are breastfed every 3 hours, and then their mom stimulates them to pee and poo. Not all mothers are eager to do this, in which case we assist them with a dam, warm cotton towel. The puppies spend the rest of their time sleeping they often seem to be dreaming! Subscribe to our weekly blog newsletter: Subscribe to our blog newsletter! First name Email They are so cute as they love to huddle together, but we also keep them warm with an external source like an infra lamp. As the puppies are very small, there is a threat that the mom accidentally smothers one or more of them. In the first 4 weeks We make strict precautions to keep the newborn babies sterile to avoid the risk of them being infected. They sleep in the house with us, and only a small circle of carers are allowed to touch them who use lots of hands sanitizing. As the mother has less and less milk we gradually switch to give them milk from a bottle and then crushed food. The puppies open their eyes when they are days old, and then they are able to hear — a whole new world opens up for them. At the age of weeks, the little explorers start crawling and then the first few shaky steps. At this stage, they are already very playful and start love-biting each other.

Its polarity is currently rising as one of the best dogs for companionship. Weighing fifty to eighty pounds, a Double Doodle is a strong dog with immense intelligence and remarkable swimming skills. The two are cross bred to create a dog with a shedding or a non-shedding wavy coat. The Double Doodle puppies have lovely coats of different colors. If you are searching for a cute, hypoallergenic designer dog, the Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador dog breed might please you. A Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador equals a Double Doodle A Double Doodle is an irresistible dog in terms of appearance and other traits. It is a cross-bred Goldendoodle and Labradoodle offspring after all. Each parent dog has admirable characteristics, which it transfers to the Double Doodle puppy. A Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador results in a puppy with a blend of genes. To ensure you understand this dog well, we will discuss the history of each parent. Goldendoodle Goldendoodles first appeared on earth in , thanks to Monica Dickens. She was a great-grandchild of Charles Dickens, a British author. Her Goldendoodles were a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. Her breed became a low-shedding dog with admirable intelligence and demeanor. Goldendoodles have mild temperaments, which makes them perfect therapy dogs. After attempting severally, Lord Tweedmouth managed to create the intelligent and adorable Golden Retriever. It makes a perfect family dog as it likes outdoor fun and cuddling with its owner. Poodle The Poodle is a French dog breed. We can trace its roots in Germany about four hundred years ago. In the beginning, the Poodle was a duck hunter. It could fetch killed waterfowl from the sea for its master. Poodles have curly, low-shedding coats. They are good swimmers despite their hairy bodies. Years later, the Poodle found its way into the arms of the French royals. The Poodle is a national dog in France today. Poodles became famous worldwide when the entertainment icons began to bring them to different festivals. The first Poodles were of standard size. When the breed became trendy, the breeders created the toy and the miniature breeds. The Toy Poodle originated in the early twentieth century in the US. It was a home pet for city dwellers. As you can imagine, the Poodle is a high-quality dog with excellent traits. Hence, it does not surprise us that the Poodle is a parent to most designer dogs. This dog originated from Newfoundland rather than Labrador. It was a retriever dog carried in boats to help the owners catch fish that got out of the fishing nets. A Labrador retriever is a competent swimmer with a tail that works like a rudder. It has a short and thick coat that promotes its swimming abilities in icy waters. The Labrador dog arrived in Great Britain at the beginning of the nineteenth century via English royals who had toured Canada. A good-natured Labrador with the hypoallergenic Poodle and a Goldendoodle makes a perfect Double Doodle dog. As you can get from our discussion above, a Double Doodle unites three different dog breeds. The combination of three breeds creates a hybrid designer dog. The Double Doodle emerged about a decade and a half ago. A good skill it gets from all its parents is swimming. All parent dogs were gundogs made to retrieve birds from the sea. Although Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador dogs are fantastic hunters, they are naturally humble and easy to train. That is why their offspring, the Double Doodle, makes a wonderful indoor and outdoor dog. Could the Double Doodle be the dog you are looking for? We will discuss various things you should know next. Appearance A Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador creates a dog breed with no standard appearance. Double Doodles have varied looks, including different coat colors. A Double Doodle puppy can pick up genetic traits from any of the three parents. It might also have many traits from one or two parents and fewer ones from the remaining parent. Generally, Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador dogs have long and wavy hair. They can be white, cream, tan, golden, brown, or black. Double Doodles come with dark, button-shaped eyes, long, droopy ears, and a wide snout. Their facial shapes vary widely based on the traits a puppy inherits from its parents. A male Labrador is sixty-five to eighty pounds heavy. Male Goldendoodles are sixty-five to seventy-five pounds heavy while females weigh fifty-five to sixty-five pounds. Female Poodle dogs are forty to fifty pounds heavy while males weigh sixty to seventy pounds. Based on this weight data, Labrador Retrievers are the heaviest of all the three parent dogs. Hence, female Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador puppies weigh fifty-five pounds while males are ten pounds heavier. We also expect a Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador puppies born to miniature Poodles to weigh less. A standard Goldendoodle-Lab Mix can be twenty to twenty-eight inches tall. A miniature one can be seventeen to twenty inches tall. That is why we noted that Double Doodles look different. Grooming needs Goldendoodle Lab Mix shed fur differently. If you get a shedding puppy, you will deal with a lot of dander. On the other hand, a non-shedding Double Doodle sheds less but has strict grooming needs. Comb its coat often to prevent tangling of the fur. As this dog also has long fur, it requires regular trimming. Take it to a professional if you are unsure of your shaving abilities. A shedding Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador retriever will require regular brushing to clean the short fur. You do not need to trim its fur as it will shed heavily twice a year. During this time, use some de-shedding tools to make the process easier. For the rest of the time, the dog will shed hair moderately. Double Doodles have long, floppy ears requiring cleaning once or twice every week. As for the teeth, you should brush them every day to remove tartar. Dog nails need trimming once each month. Temperament A Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador offspring can have a mild temperament type. This should not surprise you since a Double Doodle has three parents. The Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever dogs have similar traits. They are intelligent, obedient, physically active, and companionable dogs. These are some of the best family dogs because they love people and fellow dogs. On the other hand, Poodles are intelligent and full of energy. They make loyal friends although they sometimes display timidity around strange dogs and people. Friendliness Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mixes are friendly family dogs. They adore their master before anyone or anything else. Thorough training can help them become more hospitable to others. Some people use these Doodles as therapy dogs. Others use them as a watchdog because they like to bark. Additionally, their parents were originally gundogs. All the same, a Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mix is not a reliable watchdog for your home. Regarding kids, this dog is a perfect friend to them but might require supervision from an adult. Training A Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador litter responds well to training. It is a very sharp dog that learns new tricks quickly. Poodles can be stubborn during training. Training can be hard if a Double Doodle puppy inherits this from its Poodle parent. You need a positive attitude to train this dog. Getting tired during training is quite unlikely because a Goldendoodle Lab Mix is super energetic. It can work out for two hours straight. Remove its leach when not around strangers to let it run around and play its favorite games. If you love to run or ride a bicycle, a Double Doodle can be your unfailing workout companion. Health issues If you need Goldendoodle mixed with Labrador puppies, ensure you can protect their health. Since Double Doodles are mixed-breed dogs, they can have robust health. However, a puppy may inherit some health issues from its parents. A Golden Retriever dog may have heart disease, workout-induced collapse, eye issues, or hip or elbow dysplasia. A Goldendoodle parent may have heart disease, hip or elbow dysplasia, thyroid disease, or eye issues. Veterinarians have found the following health issues in Goldendoodle Lab Mix dogs: Cataracts or Progressive retinal atrophy Arthritis. Usually patient with children and other pets Trainable Adaptable So a double doodle with ancestors from these breeds is likely to be the same again. Some areas in which Poodles differ from Labs and Goldens are: Friendliness towards other dogs. Labs and Goldens usually love other dogs, whereas Poodles are more likely to remain disinterested and aloof. Poodles are also more likely to be protective of their home, and bark at unfamiliar people who approach it. Some double doodle mix dogs may also inherit these traits. Training and exercising your Goldendoodle Labradoodle Goldendoodle Labradoodles are usually very responsive to training and easily motivated to take part in training games. All of their ancestral breeds were working dogs, so breeders selected only the most adept and trainable dogs as sires and dams for the next generation. Double doodles from working lines as opposed to show lines are particularly quick learners, but this is often coupled with a big appetite for mentally stimulating tasks like training games and puzzle toys. They are good companions for runners and cyclists, because they possess athleticism and stamina in spades. A miniature Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix needs a similar amount of exercise, but they might struggle to keep up with on long runs or bike rides. In which case a big yard, or daily access to hiking trails or a dog park will be a better match for their needs. We all want a healthy pet who will enjoy many uncomplicated years with us. The main health problems facing Golden Lab Poodle mix dogs are: Orthopedic conditions including hip and elbow dysplasia. This is particularly true in big Goldendoodle Labradoodle crosses. Eye problems including cataracts and a type of hereditary blindness called progressive retinal atrophy. Immune-mediated skin problems triggered by an allergic reaction to something in their diet or environment. Ear infections. Thyroid disease. Labradoodles and Goldendoodles being considered as stud dogs or dams should be health tested for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and eye problems at a minimum. Good breeders will already have proof of the results of these tests before they open a waiting list for puppies. Always ask to see copies, and walk away from breeders who make excuses for not performing them, or not sharing the results. Goldendoodle Labradoodle Life Expectancy The average life expectancy of all three breeds contributing this double doodle combo is 12 to 13 years. Doodles with long, non shedding coats need regular brushing to prevent tangles that tug painfully at the skin. Brushing also lifts out dirt and debris, and helps keep their fur clean. For easier maintenance, most people with long haired dogs book them in for regular salon visits, to have their coat washed and clipped to a manageable length by professionals. Shedding coats also need brushing to lift out dirt from walks. They are likely to shed moderately all year round, but twice a year they may shed heavily. Do Goldendoodle Labradoodles make good pets? Double doodle mixes like the Labradoodle Goldendoodle mix can be great pets in the right home. This mix is likely to be placid and tolerant around children as an adult, but bear in mind that bouncy puppies are a different kettle of fish altogether! Young children should always be supervised with dogs of all ages and sizes. A boisterous big Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix pup is especially likely to unintentionally hurt a small child. Your young dog will need lots of your attention for activities like training and playtime. This is great if you have older children and teenagers who can help out. But it can be overwhelming if you still have babies and toddlers. Goldendoodle Labradoodle puppies Poodle mixes of all types are a popular choice of puppy mills, who keep breeding females and their litters in terrible conditions. Puppies raised in these environments are more likely to have expensive long term health issues, and challenging behavioral problems. Our Puppy Search guide can help you navigate the process of choosing a good quality puppy, including recognizing which breeders to avoid , and knowing which ones you can trust. Including feeding , potty training , crate training , learning to be alone , and setting up the foundations of good basic obedience. Designer dogs have traceable purebred ancestry, but from two or more different breeds. Labs, Goldens and Poodles were all originally bred as working gundogs with the same role: to find ducks and other waterfowl shot by their owner, and bring them back without damaging them. More recently, all three breeds have become successful and popular companion dogs. Goldendoodle Lab mix puppies are pets first and foremost, but some people also enjoy training them as gundogs, taking them into the community as therapy dogs, or competing in dog sports with them. What is a Goldendoodle and Lab mix called? Appearance One of the first ways a Labrador Golden Retriever Poodle mix puppy might surprise you is their size. And this will affect how much they cost to feed, groom, treat with flea and worming preventions, etc. Another way Goldendoodle Lab mix puppies can turn out very differently relates to their coat. Labs have short, straight coats. First generation Goldendoodles from one pedigree Poodle parent and one pedigree Golden parent are likely to have some degree of curling in their coat, but they will also carry the gene for a straight coat. So a Goldendoodle Lab mix might have a straight, shedding coat, or a longer, curly, non-shedding coat. In this respect, a Goldendoodle and Labrador mix is a little more predictable. Labradors, Goldens and even Poodles all have a similar background. They were bred to collect duck and other waterfowl which had been shot on a hunt, and bring it back to their handler. To this end, breeders favored dogs who were easy to train, readily motivated to cooperate with people, and also pleasant company to take home at the end of the day. Modern Labs, Goldens and Poodles are all described in terms such as friendly, intelligent, active, and devoted. So a mix of all three breeds will be the same. The Poodle does stand out as being a little different from the other two in some respects though. They are less likely to be indiscriminately friendly with other dogs, and more likely to display watchdog behaviors, such as barking at visitors and passers by. A Goldendoodle which inherited these traits might also pass them onto a Labrador mix. So a dog-friendly Goldendoodle could produce puppies who prefer human company or solitude. Socializing any puppy carefully is an important part of making sure that whichever breed they most take after, they have the confidence to encounter unfamiliar dogs and environments calmly. Training and exercise Training a Goldendoodle Labrador mix will be straightforward, in the sense that this mix is likely to focus on your readily, be easily motivated by food rewards, and learn reliable responses to new cues quickly. Without lots of engagement through training, they are likely to look for alternative tasks and sources of stimulation — such as digging, chewing, and barking. Are Goldendoodle Labradoodle mixes good pets? No one can resist a doodle, so when you put two of the most popular doodles together, you end up with a Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix. These adorable double doodles make great family pets and are the friendliest, most intelligent, and loyal dogs you can meet. If you are thinking of bringing a Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix into your home, read our complete guide to see if this hybrid designer dog is the right fit for you and your lifestyle. What is a Double Doodle? The Goldendoodle Labradoodle mixed breed is often known as a Double Doodle, because they come from two separate families of designer dogs. The Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix combines two Poodle crossbreeds — the Goldendoodle and the Labradoodle. But this is not your typical mixed breed. It unites not two but three different dog genetics of the Poodle, Golden Retriever, and the Labrador, making a fascinating combination! The Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix is a relatively new hybrid designer dog that has only been around for about fifteen years, so it has little history. The Poodle, Golden Retriever and Labrador were all initially working gundogs, bred to retrieve game from the water, and renowned for their excellent swimming skills. Their good natures and trainability have allowed these working dogs to transition smoothly as family dogs and companions. The Labradoodle first came about in Australia in when the Guide Dog Association of Australia needed a non-shedding dog suitable for training as a guide dog. Their desired personality traits and attractive appearance have made these two hybrid dogs extremely popular as pets. Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mix Appearance As you can imagine, with a mixture of three different dog breeds, the appearance and size of the Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix vary quite considerably. A puppy can inherit physical traits from any of the parent breeds, and puppies in the same litter can each look different. The coat can be either long, curly, wavy, or wiry, coming in a range of colors: white, black, brown, cream, golden or tan. They have dark button eyes, a broad snout and long, floppy ears, but their face shape varies from puppy to puppy. Grooming Your Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mix The fur of a Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix can vary, and grooming requirements will depend on whether it has a shedding or non-shedding coat. Double Doodles with a long, non-shedding coat will require regular brushing to keep them tangle-free. Every few weeks, many owners may take their dogs to a professional groomer to trim the fur, making it more manageable. Doodles with shedding coats also need brushing to remove dirt but will not require clipping. They will shed moderately all year round but will shed twice a year heavily, so it is good to use de-shedding tools to help the process. You must clean their ears at least once a week and brush their teeth daily to prevent a build-up of tartar. Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mix Size Double Doodles are usually medium-sized dogs measuring 23 to 25 inches tall and weighing anywhere from forty to eighty pounds. It is more difficult to predict the potential size of a puppy if a Miniature Poodle is in the mix rather than a Standard Poodle. Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mix Temperament With such a mixture of breeds, is it difficult to predict the temperament of the Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix? To better understand the possible outcome, we need to look at the different breeds. The Golden Retriever and the Labrador have similar personalities being active, intelligent, and obedient. They are dogs who love being around people and other dogs. Poodles are also energetic and extremely smart, being incredibly loyal to their families. However, they can be shy around other people and dogs and often show signs of stubbornness. It is important to remember that any Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix will have a large portion of the gorgeous curly Poodle in them, so you must like the temperament of this breed. Are Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mixes Friendly? As you can probably see, the three breeds involved in the Double Doodle have similar traits. All of them being friendly, affectionate, energetic, and loyal. Bred as working dogs, they are all extremely intelligent and easy to train, and this mixed breed can make an excellent therapy dog. With its hunting background, the Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix will bark at strangers, making it a good watchdog. The Double Doodle is great with children but make sure an adult constantly supervises them. Goldendoodle Labradoodle Mix Training With its working dog background, the Double Doodle is very responsive to training and learns quickly. You need to start the training process early using positive reinforcement methods. An adult Goldendoodle Labradoodle mix is an energetic dog that requires up to two hours of daily exercise. Including time off the leash to run around and play games. These dogs are perfect for active families, making good cycling or running companions. Health and Lifespan Mixed breeds are often healthier than purebred dogs, but the Double Doodle can inherit conditions common in the parent breeds. The main health problems they may face include: Eye diseases — cataracts, progressive retinal atrophy Orthopaedic conditions — hip and elbow dysplasia Ear infections Bloat — Food and gas become trapped in the stomach Thyroid disease. The Labradoodle is a gorgeous cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, and the Goldendoodle is an adorable mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. Characteristics and traits can vary significantly because these pups are a hybrid breed, but they are usually incredibly people-focused, laid back, and playful, making Goldendoodle and Labradoodle training an enjoyable moment. Doodles make awesome pets, especially if their owners fully comprehend the importance of training from a young age. The type of adult dog breed you end up with depends a little bit on their personality and a lot on how you take care of them. Before you begin Goldendoodle and Labradoodle training, it helps to decide exactly what kind of dog you want to have. Do Plenty of Research It is vital that you have an understanding of canine learning theory because dogs learn very differently from people. A puppy does whatever it can to get what it desires the most at that moment. There are plenty of online resources that can teach you about methods to get the best out of your training. It may be helpful to consult a puppy training professional or spend some time at doggy school to get a headstart and pick up tips from experts. Your pup is a blank slate — with your guidance, they can develop the traits and learn the behaviors that you value the most. Labradoodle and Goldendoodle puppies are curious and they love exploring their new home as they make it their own. Getting it right during the early stages sets a precedent for the rest of their life. Spending as much time as you can with them helps build the foundation for a happy, confident and well-behaved dog. Form a Bond and Gain Trust With Your Doodle Before you do anything, you will need to develop a strong bond with your new pal to make sure they trust you. Try to keep your own energy as calm as possible — they bounce off you. While it may be tempting to get excited by their cuteness and mirror their enthusiasm, this makes it more difficult for them to listen to you and regulate their own behavior. Teach your furry friend what to expect from the moment they get into the home to stop them from getting confused. Use Positive Reinforcement Intimidation or fear tactics are never the best way to build a loving and secure bond between you and your fur baby. To make the most of this method, reward your pooch for good behavior and ignore bad behavior. Treats, verbal praise, and clicker training reward them for a job well done. This also helps them to make positive associations with you and training time. Everyone has their own list of priorities and yours will depend on factors such as whether you have children or other pets. Potty training is a straightforward, formulaic process that your new puppy will adapt to. A consistent routine is the key to getting them toilet trained as efficiently and effectively as possible. Let them outside at the same time each day, and take them to the same spot. In the early days, it may be difficult for them to make it all the way through the night, so try to make provisions for this stage. Select a word for them to associate with potty training and repeat it over and over whenever you take them to the toilet. Every time they do their business outside, give them lots of cuddles and praise, treat them and play one of their favorite games. There will be setbacks — getting it right takes time! If they mess in the wrong place, take them outside to their toileting spot and give them the chance to relieve themselves. We cannot emphasize the importance of praising them when they get it right enough! Crate Training Not everyone opts to crate train their puppy, but it can be useful for the earliest stages of Goldendoodle and Labradoodle training. The crate gives them a safe place they can call their own. Be sure to make the time they spend in the crate a positive experience, and never leave them in there for more hours than their age in months plus one hour. For example, a three-month-old puppy can be kept in their crate for no more than four hours. Socialization Dogs are social animals, and Goldendoodles and Labradoodles, in particular, are happiest when they spend time pleasing people and playing. However, building confidence takes effort and guidance from their pet parent. If you want to ensure they grow up to have a balanced personality, you need to expose them to plenty of dogs, people and different situations. Take them out and about as much as possible to help them become accustomed to a range of noises, sights and sounds. Bring them to a local dog park to get them used to spending time around other dogs. Manners Your adorable little pup has the potential to develop a host of bad habits, but these behaviors can be nipped in the bud. Temperament and Dealing with Small Children There are several steps to take while getting your canine cutie used to being a member of a family with children. Both pup and child will need to have clear boundaries mapped out for them so they can build mutual trust and be kind to each other. Let the child practice with a toy before they pick up or cuddle the pup. Ensure the child sits down when they play with the dog; this helps to prevent the pup from getting overexcited. Teach the child to do small tasks to help care for the dog, such as filling the bowl or helping with grooming. Knowing what to expect according to the time of day helps them to settle and feel reassured. Always wake them up at the same time, feed and walk them around the same time and do training exercises at a set time. Patience Is Everything! The best piece of advice for Goldendoodle and Labradoodle training is to have patience. Spend lots of time bonding and playing with your pooch so you can make training something fun that you both enjoy. Final Thoughts What is the Goldendoodle-Lab mix? A Goldendoodle is a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. A Labrador Retriever is a purebred dog from Canada that was used for waterfowl retrieval and as an aid to fishermen. When you mix all three dog, you get the Goldendoodle-Lab mix. The Labrador Retriever and Goldendoodle breeds are two very popular dog breeds in the world today. And for good reason. Each breed comes from an interesting background that is worth checking out! Labradors originated from Labrador, Canada. Once they were discovered by the British, they were taken back to Great Britain, where they managed to grow and expand the breed. Labs Labrador Retrievers were initially bred for bringing in fishing nets in the cold Canadian waters. They have a double coat an inner and outer coat for insulation. Their bodies are built for the water. Their chests can push through the water just as the bow of a boat can. Their tales act as a rudder and help steer- although too much time in the water can sprain their tail, so watch for any pain or injury after spending a day in the water. Goldendoodle It is believed, that Goldendoodles were first bred by Monica Dickens, the great-granddaughter of the English author: Charles Dickens, in .Goldendoodles are often used as therapy or service dogs due to their mild temperament. After several attempts to work toward the ideal breed, Lord Tweedmouth was able to create the lovable Golden Retriever that we know and love today. Golden Retrievers are intelligent and lovable dogs eager to please and enjoy romping around the backyard, going on hikes, and snuggling up next to their family members. Many people enjoy having a Golden Retriever in their family because of these qualities. Poodle Poodle The Poodle has a low allergen coat which is perfect for those who have allergies to dogs. It comes in three sizes: toy, miniature, and standard. They originated from France and were bred to be water dogs. Just like the other two breeds, Poodles are incredibly smart and teachable when it comes to training them. The curls will be inherited from the Goldendoodle hence, Poodle genes. Labrador Coat Labs have two coats: an inner layer and an outer layer. Because of their two layers, they shed their undercoat twice a year. This generally happens in the spring and fall seasons getting rid of extra fur and adding more fur to accommodate the seasonal changes. Labs mainly come in three different colors: black, chocolate, and yellow. Goldendoodle Coat Goldendoodles generally have shaggy and curly coats depending on the genetics they take from their parents and what generation they are F1, F2, etc. Goldendoodles usually have little to no shedding, but their level of shedding ultimately depends on the genetic traits they take on from their parents and what generation they are. Size Female Labs range from .A female Labrador can weigh as little as 55 pounds, and the males can weigh up to 80 pounds. Female Goldendoodles range from 22 to about 23 inches, whereas males range from 24 to 25 inches. Are they a toy, miniature, or standard size? On average, a Goldendoodle ranges anywhere from 15 pounds to 30 pounds but can weigh as much as pounds! Depending on the parents, a Labrador Retriever-Goldendoodle will probably be relatively tall and a decent weight. Temperament and Traits Labs are a gentle and pleasant breed. They live to please people and are great with young children and elderly individuals. Goldendoodles are a happy and outgoing breed. They too live to please their owners and are good with young children. Goldendoodles rarely bark, so they may not be the best choice for finding a guard dog. Both breeds are exceptionally smart and willing to learn. However, both Labs and Goldendoodles need exercise. Both breeds are content to snuggle in for the night and be surrounded by their family. Health Issues All three breeds involved in a Labrador Retriever-Goldendoodle mix are susceptible to hip dysplasia. Some breeders also give a two-year health guarantee to the puppies in their care and are willing to make sure they do everything in their power within those two years if any health issues do come up. If you have any questions about a health warranty the breeder you are interested in has, ask them. If they are a reputable breeder, they will be more than happy to answer any questions you have when searching for a new puppy. Lifespan On average, Labrador Retrievers have a lifespan of years. However, some breeders who have been in the business long enough and ensure they provide the healthiest dogs have been able to see some of their puppies live as long as 16 years! Goldendoodles live anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on their health and the lifestyle of their families. It is safe to say that a Labrador-Goldendoodle mix will live at least ten years, if not longer, as long as it is appropriately cared for and has taken on the best genetics from its parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on. They are intelligent, family-friendly, will most likely have low allergen coats- perfect for anyone with allergies to dogs, are eager to learn new things, and are always down for some snuggles. If you are looking for this unique breed, make sure you are doing the work and finding the best breeder, even if that means traveling somewhere distant. Hopefully, you were able to take something or two out of this complete guide on the Labrador Retriever-Goldendoodle, the history of the three breeds involved, and all the little details that make up this eccentric breed.

A yellow lab only appears when the dog has the color gene, "ee. Think of it as a black lab dipped in yellow when it comes to how the coloring works! These are possible gene combinations that will get you a yellow lab with a black nose: eeBB, eeBb The black Labrador Retriever is the first color recognized in the breed, also one of the most popular dogs of all time. The "B" gene has an important role, as does the "E" gene. There cannot be two little "e" genes in a black lab, because that would mask the color and make it yellow. These are possible gene combinations that will get you a chocolate lab: EEbb, Eebb The fox-red Labrador Retriever has the same genetic makeup of a yellow Labrador. The difference is the darker coat color. Through selective breeding, labs can become darker or lighter over generations by choosing the darkest pup from the bunch. The intensity gene varies with labs, and a fox-red lab has a high intensity, "I" gene. While the fox-red lab has a high intensity gene, the white lab has a very low intensity gene, "i. The Dudley Labrador Retriever in simple terms is a chocolate lab wearing a yellow lab's coat! Dudley's have the same "ee" gene as yellow labs with black noses, but they do not have the dominant "B" genes shown in black labs or carried by yellow labs. Instead, they have two "bb" genes. Large breeders avoid Dudley's by never breeding a yellow lab to a chocolate lab how the dudley is made but this significantly restricts the gene pools. Dudley's can have intensity as dark as fox-red or as light as white. The possible gene combination for a Dudley lab is: eebb Dilute. The Champagne Labrador Retriever from a genetic standpoint, is a yellow lab. This can be fox-red, white, yellow, or dudley The difference is a completely different gene that all Labradors have. The dilute gene, seen as "DD" or "Dd" in standard Labradors. Champagne labs have two recessive copies of the gene, being "dd. They can have any of the yellow gene combinations, but with the "dd. The Charcoal Labrador Retriever is a diluted black lab, much how the champagne is a diluted yellow lab. This beautiful dark grey color is seen when a black labrador carries two recessive copies of the "d" gene. An entirely different gene called "K" is responsible for these beautiful markings. All labs have the K gene, but different variations give different results. If you are lucky enough to find a Brindle lab, they are more likely to be a black lab with some brindle marks on their legs. Our own dog Rylee carries the gene for this! This is very uncommon in Labradors, and most breeders that discover the gene in their line, avoid it all together since the dual coat looks far from purebred. But don't fret!

The Labrador has quickly become the most popular breed in the world. Labs excel in service work, being pets, and working as fowl retrieval and shed retrieval dogs. The Labrador Retriever did not come from Labrador but, actually from Newfoundland. They were originally called the St. John's Dog or Lesser Newfoundland, these dogs were then developed into what we today call the Labrador. The Labrador was first recognized as a breed in the AKC in , Accurate pedigrees of some labs go all the way back to .The Labrador was created to be the ideal gun retrieving dog. They were bred for intelligence, loyalty and athleticism. They are excellent swimmers, runners and have a loyalty and trainability that is unmatched. Labs are some of the truest and most loyal dogs around. They are extremely versatile being used as flushing dogs, retrieving water fowl dogs, service dogs most used breed , shed dogs, competition dogs, and America's most loved family dog again most used breed. They are the most popular breed in The United States, England, and Canada, rivaling in the top spot in many other countries as well. Labradors come in three standard colors; Black, Chocolate and Yellow, however as early as labs have been reported to have recessive dilute in their lines, it is bred for and becoming more popular and is even allowed for non-showing dogs in the AKC, the registration allows it underneath their base colors. Charcoal is diluted black, Silver is diluted chocolate, and Champagne is diluted yellow, however the dilute on yellow doesn't change much but does add a special shine that only dilute have due to the hair shaft structure change when you add the dilute gene. Additionally a fun little bit about the yellows is that they can range in color from stark white all the way down to a deep dark red red can be the same color as redbone hounds in some instances. Genetically they aren't sure what causes the extreme shade variation but hopefully in passing years we will have an answer for that. By breed standard yellows should be black based, chocolate based labs are referred to as "dudley" labs and are not eligible for show in the AKC ring but are eligible for trials. Mismark labs sometimes happen in the breed as well, it does not mean that a lab is not purebred if they are mismarked. Some examples of a mismark are white blazes anywhere on the body, brindled coats, hailstone reverse dalmation , somatic mutations, tan points, and diluted coats. We are under the firm and unchanging belief that just because a group of people say that a breed can only be a specific color doesn't make that a law, it is at your discretion to choose to breed, or buy a mismarked lab. So-Called Silver Labradors have many skin conditions and coloration problems. If you bought a dog advertised as a "Rare" color, you get what you paid for -- rare problems and off colors that are not the same as the mismarks that have always been known to exist in the breed which are addressed in this article. Here is the Standard for colors as written: The Labrador Retriever coat colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Any other color or a combination of colors is a disqualification. A small white spot on the chest is permissible, but not desirable. White hairs from aging or scarring are not to be misinterpreted as brindling. Black-Blacks are all black. A black with brindle markings or a black with tan markings is a disqualification. Yellow-Yellows may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog. Chocolate-Chocolates can vary in shade from light to dark chocolate. Chocolate with brindle or tan markings is a disqualification. I've had telephone calls. Mismarks have been well documented in the breed since the beginning. Don't be so quick to determine that there was any other breed in the wood pile, although, the buyer MUST be aware that Lab puppies with odd marks absolutely might be mixed-bred puppies this is where you must use your common sense, and gut feelings regarding the knowledge base of the breeder in question. The whole litter will not be mismarked in a Labrador litter. One or two in the odd litter maybe, but not an entire litter. Mismarks occur naturally in Labradors. They're not mixed breeds at all. They're not "rare" they're not "bad", they're just mismarked puppies. They can't be shown, but they make as wonderful a pet as their non-mismarked littermates, and are usually sold for less than their littermates. They're everything that a Labrador is. Often, a Sire and a Dam will never produce a mismark again, even though they carry the genes to do so. Don't be fooled. My intent is not to get into the genetics of mismarks. This is addressed in an article by Pamela A. Davol better than I could ever do it, and if you are interested in words like "nucleotides, gene locus, homozygous, eterozygous, and allele", that article is for you. If not, and you're just a potential puppy owner, and simply want to know that something is possible without going into the genetics of it all, this page is for you. IMPORTANT: Sadly, after reading this article through the years, many owners of questionable litters have written to me, asking me to display their obviously mixed-bred puppies on this page as a demonstration of mismarked puppies. Do not allow the breeder of any questionable litter to send you to this page as "proof" that their puppies are purebred. Although respected breeders might send a buyer here to see that mismarks can, and do happen, they'll not send you here to prove to you that their puppies are not mixed. If you've done your homework, and the breeder in question is respected, responsible, and well-known, that's one thing. If the breeder is a back-yard breeder "we just bred her once so the kids could see the miracle of birth" , you best assume that you are looking at mixed-bred puppies. If the neighbor dog could get over the fence and bring a few of his buddies along -- there can be mulitple fathers in one litter , you must be careful. You have every right to ask your breeder to DNA the puppy before you purchase a black and tan or brindled puppy as a purebred. There may be one or two mismarks in a large litter, but if several of the puppies in a litter are "mismarked", the litter should be considered highly suspect. If a litter is not registered, you would be wise to consider the puppies are not purebred. Buyers of such puppies should be VERY careful that someone is not foisting mix-bred puppies on you, and using this article to prove anything! The pictures on these links were sent to me by breeders. .At one time I had all of the photos on one page, but it became so image intense, I have linked to the different images, below:. This article is not going to go into the depth of canine coat color genetics, but rather keep things simple and within reason for most people. At the end of this article, I will add links to some sites that will be helpful for those interested in the genetics of coat colors. I want to start with our basic Labrador colors and their variations. Later we will discuss the so-called Silver and White Labradors and also talk about mismarking or unusual colors that can happen in the Lab. Black Labradors are solid black. A small white spot on the chest is permissible. Sparse white hairs in between the toes and footpads are common in some of the blacks. Some mature black Labradors will have a red or orange hue to their coats at certain times of the year. This is known as casting. Casting can occur when the Lab is shedding and the hair is dead but also can be a result of bleaching from prolonged exposure to the sun. Eye color on chocolates can range from yellow through brown. Darker coat and eye color are most desirable in chocolates. Washed out chocolate coats and light eyes are not attractive for this breed. The chocolate coat is hard to maintain in one uniform color. The sun easily bleaches the chocolate Labrador, giving him the appearance of various shades of the chocolate color scattered throughout the coat. Keeping the chocolate Labrador out of the direct sun or the use of mink-oil with sunscreen lightly spayed on the coat will help the chocolate Labrador look his best at all times. YELLOW: Yellow Labradors can range is shade from a very light cream all the way to a rich dark red color known as "fox red" with various darker shading along the ears, top line, tail and hocks. A small white spot on the chest is permissible, however will not be noticeable in the lighter shades of yellow. Yellow Labradors should have black pigment on the nose, lips and eye rims with the exception of newborn yellow as they are born without pigment but within the first few days of life, the black pigment will begin to come in. We call a yellow Labrador without pigment a "Dudley". The black pigment on the nose of mature Labs can fade in the winter-time to a brown or pink color, this is very different from a true Dudley, it is very normal and the black pigment will return with warmer weather. Yellow Labradors that lack black pigment all together will have brownish or pinkish colored eye rims, foot-pads, nose and lips and they will never turn black. Dudley Labradors is a direct result from the yellow Labrador inheriting two sets of chocolate genes we refer to as "bb". So technically speaking, you can look at this as a "chocolate dog in a yellow coat" or an "eebb". Unfortunately Dudley Labradors are disqualified from being shown and was excepted until the revised AKC standard in .The FCI or "world" standard does not disqualify for lack of pigment. One more note. .What a shame!! Nevertheless, this does not make any Dudley Labrador inferior. They are Labradors true and true. This does not mean that I think it is okay to breed a Dudley Labrador, rather saying that they are normal in every way with the exception of having the pigment of a chocolate. If you choose to breed your Dudley Labrador, then do so back to a quality black Labrador. Sounds confusing but it really isn't. To help simplify this, I have copied and pasted a paragraph courtesy of the Vet DNA Center that gives you some idea of how many color combinations can be seen within the breed. However, there are 9 possible reported genotypes what you cannot see for the E and B loci and therefore 81 possible breeding combinations. A small white spot, stripe or patch on the chest is very common and does not lessen the quality of a Labrador, nor indicate it is not pure bred. Sparse white hairs can appear on the tips of toes, between the footpads, on the heels, near the groin, and under the neck. However, if white spots are large and white markings are highly noticeable, then this is not typical and could indicate the dog may be mixed with another breed. Scarring can also result in white hairs on a Labrador. Splashing is described as a black Labrador with tan or yellowish hairs on the legs and sometimes neck and chest. This mis-marking looks as if the black lab ran through a mud puddle and was splashed with muddy water, hence the name Splashing. This is a mis-marking that had been noted in the breed for many generations. It is not wise to breed any Labrador that is splashed, as this will only perpetuate the gene for years to come. It does not affect the dogs ability to be an excellent pet or hunting companion. The black and tan is a serious fault and under no circumstance should this color be perpetuated. Mosaic is a very rare condition in which results in improper cell division that effects the color of the dog. Such dogs can be yellow with small or large black patches. I have only produced one Mosaic to date. Again, this is very rare and seldom happens. I tell people without trying to sound rude, that there is no such thing as a pure white Labrador. The color yellow is the correct term, but when people see a Labrador that is of the very light cream shade, they instinctively say, White. I have produced many Labrador pups that could be classified as white when pups but they always mature to have the tale-tale signs of shading of some from or another, either on the ears, back, etc. The shading is very pale and almost unnoticeable and pigment as black as coal but I am sorry to say, it is still classified as yellow and not white. The gene that produces pure white such as seen in the Maltese, white German shepherds, white boxers and other breeds does not exist in the Labrador. I do understand how people can easily use the term white lab when they see a pale yellow but white is not a term to be truly associated with the Labrador breed. Most of the "White Labs" being advertised from backyard breeders are lacking in suitable temperaments, proper size and seem to have more health issues. Thus said, breeding for a "specific color" will not allow you to advance in any other area. My best advice, stay away from persons advertising "White Labradors". It is nothing more than a sales pitch and is something frowned upon amongst reputable breeders, and other fanciers in the Labrador community. There absolutely no such thing as a pure bred silver, charcoal or champagne Labrador. These are dogs that early in the 60's and 70's, two kennels that bred both Labradors and Weimaraners began advertising Silver Labradors. The dilute gene is normal in the Weimaraner breed. It does not occur naturally in the Labrador. Those professing to breed and advertise dilute Labradors are misrepresenting the color of the dog on the AKC papers. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. What are "mismarks" in Labradors? Color oddities "mismarks" have occurred from time to time and have been well documented throughout the breed history of the purebred Labrador Retriever. Such mismarks have includes black and tan markings, brindling, some white markings and ring-around-the-tail markings. It is unknown as to whether mismarks appear because of recessive genes from generations ago or whether they are the result of a spontaneous mutation. Although mismarks occur naturally in Labradors, these mismarks are rare. Breeders attributed this to previous interbreeding of Labradors with Gordon Setters during the early history of the breed. Because this trait was considered undesirable as a characteristic of the breed, breeders chose not to breed individuals expressing the trait in hopes of reducing frequency of its expression in future offspring. Because this allele is recessive, it may be passed through many generations before a breeder is aware that the allele is present. This explains the low frequency of expression of this trait in the current Labrador population. Brindling describes alternating expression of black and red color in the hair throughout the coat. There are several possible causes for this fault that occasionally appears in Labs. Alternatively, brindling in Labs may be the result of what geneticists call a mosaic. A mosaic indicates differences in the somatic tissue of heterozygotes that come about during mitotic division of somatic cells recall from above that somatic cells are those that make-up the body. There are two possible ways by which an individual may become a mosaic. The first is called chromosome nondisjunction by which during division into daughter cells, one of the chromosomes fails to separate from its duplicated chromosome. As a result, one daughter cell receives an extra chromosome and the other receives an unpartnered-chromosome. In either situation described above, the daughter cells of these altered somatic cells will contain the same alterations. As a result, one will observe a mosaic or brindled pattern of normal color mixed with color produced by the altered somatic cells. This condition has been reported in a Lab showing mosaic black and yellow coat color. Rather, this coat characteristic was attributed to a chromosomal alteration as described above. Some white is permissible under the AKC standard and is fairly common. There are several conditions that can produce white hair in Labs. Some of these conditions are determined by color genes and others may be caused by environmental factors that effect melanin production. Certainly white hairs and even patches are easily traced throughout the history of the Labrador Retriever. White Spots To analyze the reason why some black Labs have only a few white hairs on their chests or undersides, while others have white spots or patches, it is best to first understand that all Labs are white the condition of having no melanin. The gene loci for color control both the color of the pigment as well as the distribution of melanocytes throughout the body of the Lab. Therefore, in a black Lab, although color is determined by alleles at the B locus, alleles at the A and E loci determine even distribution of the color over the entire surface of the coat. Therefore, although all Labs should be homozygous for the S allele at the S gene locus, some may still express white hairs on the chest, bottom of the feet and under the arms and groin areas. Bolo Mark "Bolo marks" get their name from champion Labrador, Banchory Bolo, who lived from .Bolo was the first dog in England to earn dual championships. He passed these bolo marks white hairs on the chest or feet on to further generations of Labradors. These marks are not considered a true mismark. Labrador puppies with odd markings could absolutely be mixed-bred puppies. If you consider a mismarked Labrador please educate yourself and make sure the breeder is someone you trust.

Both height and weight can differ depending on genetics and the dog. However, most Boxers fall into this range. You may be able to get away with a smaller crate for a smaller or female Boxer, but a 42 inch crate is safe. The biggest mistake owners make with crate purchases is buying a size for the puppy. There are literally tens of thousands of happy customers that give it an average of 4. Best Features The Midwest homes iCrate is all about dog safety. And when it come to your Boxer, we agree with their priorities. The Midwest Homes iCrate went with dual slide secured bolt latches to safely secure your Boxer in the crate. If you frequently transport your dog with the crate , this feature is for you! The iCrate is built with a collapsible design in mind.

This should provide your boxer with enough space to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably without feeling cramped. For Boxers, who are medium to large-sized dogs with a robust and muscular build, the crate size needs to reflect their stature. They average between pounds for females and pounds for males, making either a inch crate size a fitting choice. Also, consider factors like ventilation, comfort, and the ease with which you can clean the crate. Looking for a crate for your Boxer? For height, measure from the top of their head to the ground. Once you have these measurements, add inches to each dimension to ensure comfort and room to move. Measuring your Boxer accurately is crucial for their well-being. Using a tape measure is the most straightforward way to get accurate dimensions. When measuring length, ensure your dog is standing straight and not slouching or stretching. Measure in a relaxed posture, capturing their natural size. Adding a few extra inches to the measured dimensions is not about giving them excess space, but about ensuring they can comfortably stand, turn, and lie down without any restriction. For Boxers, who are inherently active and playful, this extra space is even more crucial. You might find that some Boxers prefer a snugger fit, while others enjoy a bit more space. Puppies, while small now, will grow quickly. Activity Level Boxers are known for their high energy and playfulness. When choosing a crate, consider one with enough room for them to stretch and play with a toy. Crates with slightly larger dimensions than the standard recommendation may be suitable for particularly active Boxers. Separation Anxiety in Boxers Boxers have a tendency to suffer from separation anxiety. This makes it crucial to select crates specially designed to cater to this. These crates are typically more robust, with a comforting design that provides a safe and secure environment, alleviating some of the stress they feel when left alone. This will ensure it stands the test of time and survives any potential chewing or scratching. Additionally, the positioning and size of crate openings can influence how connected your Boxer feels to the outside world, potentially reducing feelings of isolation. Ease of Cleaning Boxers, with their playful nature, can sometimes make a mess in their crate. Opting for crates that you can easily access will make the job much more manageable, ensuring your Boxer always has a clean space to retreat to. That being said, the real way to ensure your dog is best in this size, and not one slightly smaller, is to measure them. So, your choice of crate, along with providing the right amount of space sufficient yet not too much is essential. Either way, best wishes on your journey to finding the perfect crate for your beloved Boxer! Jeremy I am a practiced pet owner with decades of experience owning a number of different pets. Introduction The boxer is a well-known dog worldwide and has its origin in Munich, Germany where the first boxer exhibition dog show was held in .It is said that the boxer was bred from the ancient bulldog and Bullenbeisser. Today, they become one of the most popular dogs in the USA, ranking 8th in .Boxers spread throughout Europe in the 19th century and they entered the United States around the 20th century being recognized by the American Kennel Club in .In the past Boxers were also appreciated for their powerful jaws, which led to their involvement in military work during WWI. They performed many tasks such as guarding, attacking and even delivering messages. After the war, many of them were taken home by the soldiers. Today, they act as both guard dog and companion at home. We often see this boxing stance when they are in a particularly playful mood, standing on their hind legs and hopping around. Breed Almost all boxers are active, bright, fun-loving, and loyal. It means they can demand high-intensity attention from their owner. Many owners believe that their loyalty is unmatched by other breeds. Even though they can be quite tender in the family, they may act hostile to strangers. This breed is prone to sunburn and in the worst cases, without adequate protection, this may lead to skin cancers. Appearance Boxers have a medium-sized figure. They are well-built with strong limbs and short back. They have strong muscles. Their skull is slightly arched and flat. Their cheeks do not bulge. The chest is quite wide and the dog has a deep brisket and slightly long shoulders. Boxers also have a long upper arm while their coat is shiny and short. Boxers have both an alert and intelligent expression. Their eyes are dark brown and their ears will rise when alert. The hindquarters of this breed are well-built with muscle. It is also important to ensure that clean, fresh water is always available. Grooming Boxers have a tight and short coat. This means they do not require frequent grooming. However, a full bath at least on a monthly basis is important for overall health. A mild shampoo will be useful. Equally as important is to avoid bathing them too frequently so as to avoid drying their skin, causing itchiness and dryness. Their ears should be cleaned too to avoid infections. Owners can buy special ear cleaning and shampoo products from their veterinarian. Exercise Boxers overall have very high levels of energy and as such are a very active breed. They benefit from a variety of exercise such as regular walking or running. To maintain optimal health Boxers need around 40 minutes of exercise on a daily basis. Comes with carrying handle and case Reinforced seams and corners for durability Includes rear accessory pockets and water bottle holder Soft sided crates are great for car travel and outdoor excursions like picnics and camping trips, as long as your dog is properly crate-trained. This crate from Precision Pet Products is perfect for Boxers, with plenty of vents, an attractive and easy-to-clean design, and a sturdy metal frame that prevents it from collapsing on your pup. Here are a few top tips for crate training a Boxer puppy that are sure to help you as you potty train your dog. Using one of its favorite blankets to line the crate and putting some of its preferred toys inside, for example, can help it get used to the crate. We recommend finding an area of your home that is out-of-the-way, so that your Boxer can have its own special place to rest and relax. Leave it in until it starts to whine, then let it out. As your Boxer gets more used to the idea of crating, it will become more comfortable with it — and eventually, it will actually want to use its crate! It should be a place of comfort and happiness — not a punishment. If you punish your dog by crating it, your Boxer will start to associate feelings of negativity with its crate, which is not a good thing. This can help with separation anxiety and feelings of nervousness related to you leaving the house. If you need more tips, we recommend doing some online research about proper crating methods, or consulting with a local dog trainer or animal behaviorist! Take a look at a few common FAQs below. How long should I crate train my Boxer puppy at night? You can keep your Boxer puppy in its crate all night, but you will need to take regular bathroom breaks about every 3 hours until your puppy is about 9 weeks old. Once your Boxer puppy is weeks old, you can usually get by with a single bathroom break, about 4 hours after you go to bed. Then, over the next few weeks and months, you can start extending this time — until you finally get to a full hours, and you no longer have to let your Boxer out for a bathroom break at night. For this reason, you should never put your Boxer into its crate while wearing a collar, particularly if nobody will be at home for a long period of time. Is crating cruel or harmful to my Boxer? Not at all! How long can I keep my Boxer in its crate? Puppies should not be left in their crates for more than about 4 hours at a time, at a maximum. Adult Boxers should be let out after about 8 hours. Remember, your Boxer needs time to explore, relax, stretch its legs, and have fun — just like you! How can I stop my Boxer from chewing on its crate? Throwing a few chew toys into the crate can help. Most dogs would much rather chew on a strap of rawhide than metal bars or plastic crates. You can also buy anti-chew spray from your local pet supply store. This spray tastes nasty to dogs, but is harmless. Spraying it on the cage will prevent your dog from chewing. A bit of behavioral training can also help. Over time, this will help your dog learn not to chew. We hope this information has been helpful, and answered some of your questions about crate training your Boxer! Conclusion Choosing a great Boxer crate for your dog should be a snap with this guide.
