We are breeders of English Bulldogs in beautiful western North Carolina. A few times a year we have quality English Bulldog puppies for sale to pet and show homes. Click here to see the available babies. Click here to see the litters due. English Bulldogs are special. English Bulldogs are different. Those of us who have had English Bulldogs for several years still remember our first English Bulldog and how much we didn't know about English Bulldogs. All of the information below is from years of researching the English Bulldog on the internet, reading books and journals, and over 15 years of breeding and raising English Bulldogs. This information can be helpful in solving minor problems, but always consult your veterinarian before treating even the simplest problem with your English Bulldog. Like all babies, the English Bulldog puppy needs lots of love and cuddling, lots of rest and sleep, lots of good, nourishing food and more love and cuddling. Moving to a new home, leaving his dam and litter mates and the only humans your English Bulldog puppy has ever really known is a very traumatic experience for English Bulldog puppies, so try to make the move as easy as possible for your English Bulldog puppy. For the first couple of weeks, try not to change your English Bulldog puppy's life style if at all possible. Follow the English Bulldog breeders feeding routine. The same times, the same amount, the same brand of food, and the same supplements , if any. Feed your English Bulldog puppy in the same place at each meal. Be sure your English Bulldog puppy has a special area all his own for his bed. Give your English Bulldog puppy lots and lots of cuddling and petting. Please try to find a veterinarian that understands the English Bulldog, English Bulldogs are at a higher risk to anesthetize that snouted breeds so be sure that the veterinarian you have chosen is aware of this fact at least, try to only have your English Bulldog put under when absolutely necessary. English Bulldogs also have very shallow joint sockets and a veterinarian that is unfamiliar with English Bulldogs may not only misdiagnose joint problems but may also see you as a license to print money. Almost every English Bulldog will have a slightly elongated soft palate which is why they snore, so be aware - if your veterinarian informs you that he needs to resection the soft palate this may not be the case at all. English Bulldogs with severe soft palate problems will overheat easily, find it very difficult to cope with any form of exercise and may regurgitate their food. If there are other English Bulldog owners in your area ask them who they go to and at least ask your veterinarian what his English Bulldog experience is. When an English Bulldog puppy goes into a vets office, everybody in there flocks to you to get a closer look or to pet the English Bulldog puppy. Try not to make any drastic changes, gradual is better, and always try to make it a fun time for your English Bulldog puppy If you want to change the brand of puppy food your English Bulldog puppy is eating, the change should be slow and gradual. Substitute a small amount of the old food with the new brand and slowly increase the ratio of new to old until the old brand is completely replaced with the new. Here at My Baby Bullies health is our 1 goal. We give all of our Bulldogs NuVet Plus vitamin wafers everyday to insure that they are healthy. Our babies get all the protection from the time they are conceived to insure a healthy start in life. We strongly recommend that you continue giving the NuVet Plus vitamin wafers for the life of your new puppy. We feel so strongly about this product that we have incorporated it into our health guarantee! Most English Bulldog breeders feed a two to four month old English Bulldog puppy four times a day. At this age the dry food is usually softened with warm water. There are several good brands of puppy food on the market, if you are not satisfied with the food your English Bulldog puppy is eating, try another brand. You want a puppy food your English Bulldog puppy likes and which produces a nice coat, keeps your English Bulldog puppy round but not obese, and produces solid stools. You may feed your English Bulldog puppy on a set schedule, or have food available to him at all times. Your English Bulldog puppy will flourish under either regimen. The choice depends on which is more convenient for you. How much you feed him depends on the English Bulldog puppy. In most cases, a growing English Bulldog puppy which gets sufficient exercise should eat as much as it wants. If your English Bulldog puppy does become obese, you may need to regulate the amount he eats, but DO NOT put a growing English Bulldog puppy on a severely restricted diet unless it is supervised by a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about English Bulldog puppies. From four to six months an English Bulldog puppy's feeding regimen should remain the same but the number of feedings may be reduced to three. At about six months this number can be reduced to two. In most cases continue feeding the puppy as much as he wants. How often you feed an English Bulldog one year or more old depends on your preference and your English Bulldog. Most English Bulldogs do well on one meal a day. Some do better on two meals a day. You may prefer to feed in the morning or the evening. This is up to you. If you like it and your English Bulldog likes it, it's the right way. An English Bulldog usually eats puppy food until it is at least one year old. If your English Bulldog is thriving on puppy food and not getting to overweight, leave him on it until he is at least two years old. You can feed your English Bulldog puppy food all his life, if it agrees with him. Most English Bulldogs are changed from puppy to adult food at around twelve to eighteen months. It is best to change to the adult version of the puppy food you have been feeding your English Bulldog. It does not hurt your English Bulldog to change from one brand of dog food to another and then to another and so on as long as each change is done by gradually, substituting more and more of the new brand for the old. Never make a drastic change in his eating habits or in his food. If your English Bulldog is spayed or neutered or as it ages and becomes less active, you may need to start feeding a reduced calorie dog food to keep your English Bulldog from becoming too fat. Most good brands of dog food have a "lo-fat" reduced calorie version. Again, it's best if you stay with the same brand you've been feeding your English Bulldog and change to the "lo-fat" version. Whatever its age, your English Bulldog should have cool fresh water available at all times. The most common supplements are cottage cheese, yogurt and oil. Cottage cheese is especially good for growing English Bulldog puppies since the English Bulldog must grow a lot of heavy bone in a short time. Give your English Bulldog about a tablespoon per feeding. Yogurt helps to keep the digestive system of your English Bulldog working well, about a teaspoon per feeding. Oil helps to keep the coat and skin of your English Bulldog in good condition, about a teaspoon twice a day. All vegetable or canola oil is best - do not give your English Bulldog any oil which contains soybean oil. You may also give your English Bulldog a vitamin supplement. DO NOT over dose. If the directions say "one a day", two is not better. You may also give your English Bulldog a vitamin C tablet - units per day. Supplements to be very careful with are Vitamins E, D and A. Overdoses of these can cause trouble for your English Bulldog. If you plan to breed a female English Bulldog, vitamin B complex, including folic acid, is recommended, but again be careful not to overdose your English Bulldog. Treats for your English Bulldog should usually be dog treats without any soy. It won't hurt your English Bulldog to give him an occasional bite of meat, vegetables, fruit, soda crackers, ice cream, etc. We were shocked to say the least at where some manufactures get the ingredients used and we as consumers were poisoning our beloved animals. So to make sure we knew exactly what we were feeding our English Bulldogs we decided that we would cook for our English Bulldogs as well as our other pets! English Bulldog Equipment There are several things which will make life easier and more enjoyable for you and your English Bulldog. First in importance is a wire crate. This comes very close to being a necessity for English Bulldogs. It is much easier to house train an English Bulldog puppy if he sleeps in a crate. If you travel at all with your English Bulldog, he is more safe and happier riding in a crate. If you are staying overnight your English Bulldog has a place of his own to sleep in. It is just as important for your English Bulldog to be in a crate in the car as it is for you to wear your seat belt. If you do not have a crate, or one won't fit into your car, get your English Bulldog a dog safety car harness. English Bulldogs like to have a special "my place" so if you don't have a crate, try one, you and your English Bulldog will like it. If you travel with your English Bulldog you'll need a large insulated water jug so that you'll have "home" water available for him. A small water pan that hooks to the side of his crate is ideal for traveling. A rocking chair or a really comfortable big chair you can sit in and cuddle your new English Bulldog puppy, this makes for great bonding time with your new English Bulldog puppy. A food dish with straight sides and flat bottom. The best material is stainless steel - avoid plastic with English Bulldogs whenever possible. A water dish, stainless steel is best again for English Bulldogs. A collar and a lead. A light weight, small link "choke" collar is best for an English Bulldog puppy. It should be long enough to slip over the English Bulldog puppy's head with room to spare but should not have more than a six inch "tail" when around his neck. The English Bulldog puppy's first lead should be a light weight one, you'll need a strong leather lead as he grows into an adult English Bulldog. A grooming table makes brushing, nail trimming, whisker clipping, medication, etc. Start your English Bulldog puppy out young and he'll soon learn to stand still with his neck in the noose and your life will be much easier. A puppy pen. Even though you have a fenced yard, you may want to confine your English Bulldog puppy to or out of a particular area. Puppy pens are easily portable and very handy for keeping an English Bulldog puppy confined to a small area. They are especially useful for a winter English Bulldog puppy. You can put his bed in his crate, put the crate in a puppy pen and put his pee-pee pads in a corner of the pen. If you plan to exhibit your English Bulldog you will need a pair of whisker scissors. These are small, sharp, blunt end scissors which you can purchase from a pet store, a dog show vendor or a dog supply catalog. A good brush. You can use almost any brush on an English Bulldog but the best ones have flexible rubber bristles. You want one small enough to fit your hand comfortably. Lemon Juice- If your English Bulldog gets phlegm in his throat and chokes on it, a couple squirts of juice from the plastic lemon will help clear it out. Clear Eyes, Visine, etc. Aspirin- For minor aches and pains. Most English Bulldogs can tolerate aspirin but do not give any other human pain reliever such as Tylenol or Advil. Remember that the dosage for aspirin, like most pain relief medication, is based primarily on body weight. An English Bulldog should never be given more than one tablet at a time or more frequently than every twelve hours. Some English Bulldogs are allergic to aspirin, so only use aspirin under the advise and care of a veterinarian. Benadryl- Either capsule or liquid. Use this if the English bulldog is stung by a bee or other insect, and for minor English Bulldog allergies as recommended by your veterinarian. Panalog Ointment- A good all purpose ointment for minor English Bulldog skin afflictions. Also good for cleaning English Bulldog wrinkles, tail pockets and ears. Bag Balm- Also useful for minor English Bulldog skin afflictions. Pepto Bismol- For minor stomach upset of your English Bulldog. Q-tips- Use for applying medication and cleaning your English Bulldogs ears. Cotton balls- Use for applying medication, for cleaning and to keep the ears of your English Bulldog dry while bathing. Even English Bulldog puppies can tear a piece off the rawhide and choke on it. English Bulldog Puppies like knotted socks to shake and play tug of war with. They also like Nylabone and rubber toys. Many English Bulldog puppies like to play with balls, but be sure the ball is too big to lodge in the throat or be swallowed. Most English Bulldogs love the Kong toys, and you can fill them with treats and watch your English Bulldog play for hours. English Bulldog puppies like cotton tug toys but be careful not to let the stuffing of any toy be swallowed by your English Bulldog puppy. Some people give their English Bulldog puppies and adult English Bulldogs Choo-Hooves and English Bulldogs really like them, but be cautious with these. They are an "only when I can watch you" English Bulldog toy. The only real difference between the toys for an English Bulldog puppy and the toys for an adult English Bulldog is size. Always discard any toy that you think your English Bulldog might swallow! Your English Bulldog should be thoroughly brushed at least three times a week. Most English Bulldogs love to be brushed. Use a soft bristle or rubber brush. Start at the rear and brush against the hair. After you've brushed the entire English Bulldog against the grain, brush it with the grain. Follow this with a good rub down. During shedding time, spring and fall, you may need to brush your English Bulldog more often, give more frequent rubdowns. The idea is to remove the dead hair and distribute the natural oils produced by your English Bulldog. Bathing Your English Bulldog An English Bulldog that receives frequent brushings and rubdowns does not need frequent bathing. Most English Bulldog owners bathe their English Bulldogs when the dog is dirty - when it obviously needs a bath. Of course, if you are exhibiting your English Bulldog he needs a bath before he goes to the show. An English Bulldog in the show ring should be clean and well groomed. Where do you bathe an English Bulldog? Any place you want to and can! Some people have a big deep sink, some use the bath tub, some use the kitchen sink, in the summer some wash their English Bulldog on the lawn. I prefer the Booster Bath, your English Bulldog can walk right up the ramp which also doubles as a booster for puppies and saves your back from stooping down to bathe your English Bulldog. You need a place where you can control your English Bulldog, where you can easily control the water supply and where you can rinse your English Bulldog thoroughly and the Booster Bath provides all of this for you. It's a good idea, especially with a puppy, to take the dog outside to "potty" just before you bathe him. Gather up all the things you will need to bathe your English Bulldog before you start. You will need: a mild tear-free shampoo, any rinses you plan to use, cotton balls, Q-tips, eye ointment or mineral oil, Vaseline, wash cloth, and towels. Most use a special whitening shampoo for white English Bulldogs. You may on occasion need to use a flea shampoo but since these are quite harsh, don't use one on your English Bulldog unless you really need to. Put a couple of drops of mineral oil or a bit of eye ointment in the eyes of your English Bulldog and place a cotton ball securely in each ear before you wet your English Bulldog. Wet your English Bulldog thoroughly from just behind the ears to the tips of the toes on his hind legs. Be sure his underside of your English Bulldog is wet, too, not just the top and sides. Apply the shampoo starting at the neck of your English Bulldog and working back. Work the shampoo in to be sure you get all the way through the hair to the skin of your English Bulldog. Pay special attention to the paws of your English Bulldog wash between the toes , his tail clean all around the base , and the genital area. On a female, be especially careful to clean the vulva. Put some shampoo on the washcloth and wash your English Bulldog's face. Wash the wrinkles over the nose, on the forehead, around the nose and under the eyes. Wash his nose. Wash his ears, inside and out. Now rinse. Rinse until you are sure every bit of your English Bulldog, especially in the wrinkles and tight places, is thoroughly rinsed and there is no shampoo left any place. If you are applying a rinse to your English Bulldog, do it now, following the manufactures instructions. For a white English Bulldog, you can use a rinse of 4 Tbsp. Mix enough bluing into the water to get a darkish blue not black. Pour the bluing mixture over your white English Bulldog and work in with your fingertips. Do not rinse off the solution. Do not towel dry, let your white English bulldog drip dry. For red dogs, try VO5 Henna Conditioner. Dry your English Bulldog with towels. Take the cotton balls out of your English Bulldog's ears and clean any wax carefully using a dry Q-Tip or one with a dab of Panalog. Rub a dab of Vaseline onto his nose to help keep it soft. You can then let your English Bulldog air dry or use a hair dryer to finish the drying. It's best to keep the English Bulldog inside until it is completely dry - about two hours. English Bulldog Nails Most English Bulldogs need their nails cut on a regular basis - about every two weeks. The nails should be kept as short as possible on your English Bulldog. You may use dog nail clippers or an electric grinder. Most English Bulldog owners use the clippers, either guillotine or scissors type. Which type you use on your English Bulldog is up to you, but they should be sharp. When the blade begins to dull, replace it or buy new clippers - dull blades can be painful to your English Bulldog. Each English Bulldog owner seems to have a different way to clip nails. Find the way that works best for you. The important thing is to be able to control your English Bulldog so that you do not hurt it. A grooming table is probably the best way to control your English Bulldog. On white nails you can see where the quick begins. On black nails cut just to the curve of the nail. Clippers usually leave a rough edge, so a good dog nail file to smooth them off will work fine. If you use en electric grinder, be very, very careful not to grind into the quick. The main thing is to make the experience as pleasant as possible for your English bulldog so be really careful when cutting nails and don't cut into the quick. If your English Bulldog takes frequent walks on pavement or concrete sidewalks, it will usually wear the nails down, so again, be careful, there may not be very much nail to cut. Especially the black nails which seem to wear more than the white ones. English Bulldog Wrinkles English Bulldogs tend to have messy face wrinkles. The older your English Bulldog gets, the messier the wrinkles. How often you clean these wrinkles depends on your English Bulldog itself. Some English Bulldogs do very well if you clean the wrinkles a couple of times a week. Some English Bulldogs need it on a daily basis. When you clean the wrinkles, wash his nose and apply a good rub of Vaseline to keep it soft. It's better to clean your English Bulldog more often than you think you need to than not to clean your English Bulldog often enough. You can clean the wrinkles of your English Bulldog with a soft, damp cloth and then dry. Or you can wash them using the shampoo you use to bathe your English Bulldog. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly. One of the best ways is to wipe the wrinkles of your English Bulldog clean is with Baby Wipes with lanolin and aloe. Whatever method you use to clean the wrinkles of your English Bulldog, be sure to get the deep nose wrinkle clean. You may need to put a soothing ointment in the deep nose wrinkle of some English Bulldogs. If it is irritated, Panalog will help to heal. Diaparene Ointment will soothe and dry the wrinkle, but this contains zinc oxide, so before you apply it to your English Bulldog, rub Vaseline into his nose. Allot of English Bulldogs have "tear stains" of varying degrees of color. If the stain is bad on your English Bulldog, in addition to cleaning you may want to try to remove the stain. There are many treatments out there and you may have to try several before you find one that works for you and your English Bulldog. You can make a paste of 1 Tbsp. Hydrogen Peroxide and enough corn starch to make a thin paste some English Bulldog owners add I Tbsp. Milk of Magnesia to the hydrogen peroxide and mix the cornstarch into that mixture. Apply to the tear stain on your English Bulldog, let it dry, and brush off the excess. Apply on a daily basis until the stain is gone from your English Bulldog, then weekly to keep stain from returning. Another method is to rub the stain with a cotton ball soaked in Boric Acid. Another remedy is rubbing a dab of Desitin into the stain to help keep it dry. Whatever you use be sure not to get it in the eyes of your English Bulldog. Fleas on your English Bulldog The best way to treat fleas on your English Bulldog is to prevent them. Some English Bulldogs are allergic to flea saliva and can develop really serious skin problems so try to keep your English Bulldog free of fleas. Frequent brushing of your English Bulldog is the first defense. Frequently changed bedding is very important. Flea collars are not very effective and many English Bulldogs cannot wear them. If you do use one, do not put one on a wet or damp English Bulldog and do not allow the English Bulldog to wear a wet collar this includes letting the English Bulldog out in the rain with its flea collar on. You may need to give your English Bulldog a bath with a good flea shampoo or use an anti-flea rinse when you bathe. The chemicals used in these shampoos are harsh and allot of English Bulldogs have sensitive skin so use them only when necessary and follow instructions carefully. There are various types of flea shampoos, dips, and sprays, since these really are medications, it's a good idea to at least begin with ones from your veterinarian or that have been specifically recommended by an experienced English Bulldog owner in your area. Avon Skin so Soft mixed in the rinse water of your English Bulldog is an effective, non-irritating flea deterrent used by several English Bulldog owners. You can also use the Skin so Soft mixed with an equal part of water in a spray bottle, or, if you feel that's a bit too strong, try two capfuls in a pint spray bottle. This will also help to repel mosquitoes and ticks from your English Bulldog. Above all else, a clean environment for your English Bulldog, especially his bed, is the best flea prevention. Bedding Bedding material used for English Bulldogs ranges from a wide variety of man-made materials to special dog beds of all types and prices. The most common bedding for an English Bulldog is cotton rugs or blankets which can be washed with ease. Don't pamper your English Bulldog with a wicker dog bed. An English Bulldog will destroy it with his massive jaws and it really isn't a good thing for an English Bulldog to eat. The fake sheepskin rugs available from most pet stores and dog catalogs make good beds for English Bulldogs as they are soft and wash and dry very easily. The important thing for bedding is that it be easily washable and provide a soft nesting area for your English Bulldog. French Bulldog puppies for sale in Raleigh, NC from trusted breeders.

Energy levels Both of these dogs are high-energy dogs, but the Malinois beats the German Shepherd every time. The Belgian Malinois is one of if not the most active dogs known to man. They can run hard all day every day and still have energy left over. This is what makes them such good police and military dogs. Both breeds will need entertainment in the home whilst you are resting, chew or puzzle toys can help tire their clever minds out enough to rest at night. If you do not exercise these dogs properly, they will channel this energy into destructive or vocal behavior around the home. Bite force German Shepherds have a bite force of psi, whereas a Belgian Malinois has a bite force of psi. The German Shepherd has a much stronger bite force than the Malinois, and can even break bones. This is a useful trait when we consider their use for protection and in police work. Both these breeds can bite other dogs if provoked and have been known to chase and kill cats. If you already own cats, consider more cat-friendly breeds. Intelligence With Malinois, be prepared to spend around hours a day initially on training, and then at least one hour a day on maintenance training. Both of these breeds are highly intelligent and difficult to train. They need significant hours invested in training from a young age, both on a one-to-one and in a group setting. The Belgian Malinois is harder to train than the German Shepherd and needs a strict routine with firm boundaries in place. To avoid common training mistakes with your German Shepherd, see this blog. Both dogs bond highly to one handler or owner, making them good protection and police dogs. If you are thinking of taking on a Malinois be prepared to spend around hours a day initially on training, and then at least one hour a day on maintenance training. Both of these dogs love agility work, and the Malinois can jump up to 6 feet high, allowing them to fly around agility courses with ease. Shedding The Belgian Malinois has a thick double coat that sheds completely twice a year. In between, they will still shed daily so need daily grooming. Their coat is easier to maintain than a German Shepherd as it is shorter and softer. The German Shepherd can have a thick double coat, usually with short hairs, but can be medium, or a longer single coat. They too shed the whole coat twice a year and shed daily in between. Shedding is worse if you live in a warm environment, or are fond of heating the home to a warm temperature. The good news is, that both breeds enjoy grooming and see it as a way to spend time with their owner, making the task more enjoyable. Health Buying from a registered breeder who has tested bloodstock for conditions such as hip dysplasia can reduce the chances of your dog inheriting this condition. Being similar in stature and weight both German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois suffer from elbow and hip dysplasia, GDV, haemangiosarcoma, pannus, and skin disease most frequently. Buying from a registered breeder who has tested bloodstock for conditions such as hip dysplasia can reduce the chances of your dog inheriting this condition. Preventative care including daily toothbrushing and monthly nail trims is important to keep these dogs in top shape. The average lifespan of a German Shepherd is around years, with Belgian Malinois coming in slightly longer living on average between 10 and 15 years of age, which is a long time for a large breed dog. But, a few standout features separate each of these breeds and this helps potential owners decide if either of these breeds is right for them. If you are an active person with no other dogs and lots of time to spend training and bonding with your dog, both breeds would suit your lifestyle. Their personality is often described as loving, and loyal, and their fierce desire to protect you will serve you faithfully until the very end of their days. The Belgian Malinois is much more suited to life as a working dog, whereas the German Shepherd can fit nicely into family life if given enough exercise and training. Why do police use Belgian Malinois instead of German Shepherds? Belgian Malinois have a larger jumping ability, are smaller, and have incredible energy levels during work tasks. Whilst these differences are small, it puts the Belgian Malinois slightly above the German Shepherd when choosing a police working dog. Are Belgian Malinois related to German Shepherd?

Kelley After loving 19 cats, 11 dogs, and a canary, Tracey married someone allergic to all those creatures. Thankfully, she receives oodles of animal goodness sharing stories on Daily Paws! When not traveling, teaching yoga, or doing voiceover projects, she's an editorial strategist and developer for print, digital, and multimedia platforms. Are these two doggos twinsies? With their pointed ears, intense gaze, gorgeous double coats, and intense stamina, it might appear so at first glance. But there are actually many unique characteristics for the individual breeds. So if you're making a 'yays and nays' list of Belgian Malinois vs. German shepherd , maybe we can help! Representing the AKC's herding group , both Belgian Malinois and German shepherds are prized for their working abilities. They're so smart, possessing a 'do your child's math homework' level of intelligence! Other similarities to add to the Belgian Malinois vs. German shepherds list: Like most shepherd breeds those used to move a flock or follow specific tasks , each dog thrives with daily rigorous physical opportunities, as well as enrichment activities featuring consistent training, skill building, and purpose. Hardworking and true, both breeds respond well to early socialization and positive reinforcement training. As a result, they form deep, loyal bonds with their owners! Incredibly brave, these dogs are valued participants in military missions and law enforcement efforts, taking on many honorable duties to protect and serve. Beligan Malinois and German shepherds are also both generally easy to groom, staying snazzy with a weekly brushing overall but needing a little extra care during shedding season. She says when considering a purebred dog for the family, the most important aspect is to understand the dog's breeding—certainly true for all breeds, but especially paramount for those with inherent working abilities like Belgian Malinois and German shepherds. So if the heritage of a Belgian Malinois or German shepherd involves breeding for show or work and you're an experienced pet parent fully focused on continued development, either canine might be an exceptional choice. However, if one of these alert and active pups has to find a way to fit into a busy family's schedule, Bragdon says it's imperative to have a careful consultation with a breeder and your veterinarian to ensure you can provide a happy, healthy lifestyle for this type of dog. Bred near the city of Malines in northwestern Belgium, Mals are one of four herding breeds from this country, each named after a particular area. German shepherds were also initially used as herding dogs, but later developed by a military officer to be the perfect working dog. One of the key differences on the Belgian Malinois vs. German shepherd list is temperament. Bragdon says generally, Mals aren't bred as pet companions, and often have a high prey drive and work ethic—characteristics that make them aptly suited to put their nose to the ground in search and rescue positions, bomb and narcotic detection, and as tracking K-9 officers. On the other hand, German shepherds—considered to be one of America's most popular dog breeds —were originally bred for herding, became a favorite for police work, and are now more frequently bred for companionship. Let's take a closer look at them now! Similar black muzzles, a color variance that ranges from fawn and tan to brown and mahogany, and an acute gaze that follows your every move! So you have to pay attention to the subtleties: Mals will often have more solid color fur, compared to the shepherd's bi-color or possibly tri-color coat. A Belgian Malinois is lean and muscled, with a more slender face, whereas a shepherd is a bit burly with thicker fur. Those big ears! All the better to hear you with! Notice how the Beligian Malinois ears stick straight up from the crown of his head, but the German shepherd's are more angled to the side? Usually fairly healthy, Bragdon says these active dogs have the potential to develop elbow or hip dysplasia. Mals, which usually live 14—16 years, are also prone to cataracts and epilepsy. Shepherds have a lifespan of 7—10 years, and might have issues such as bloat , degenerative disc disease, and pannus , an inherited eye condition. Belgian Malinois vs. When choosing a working dog like one of these breeds, trust your instinct to tap into his unique abilities so he has the best life. Bragdon helped us pull together a few more facts that might help. The Belgian Malinois might be your top canine companion if: You're experienced in dog training and have the confidence to manage his high energy and super intelligence. There's a dedicated intent to having a doggo partner who's eager to compete or take on serious tasks. Knowing that a Mal is one of the fastest dogs in the world, bolting up to 30 mph, makes you excited to have a new running or hiking buddy! Bonding with a dog for his entire life to get the job done and pretty much being his everything is something you're ready for now. You might prefer a German shepherd pet if you're: Able to learn various aspects of training so he stays mentally and physically engaged. An active, outdoorsy person who wants to share various adventures with a pet pal. Willing to make time in your family dynamic to not only keep him active, but also cuddle up with him and 'chillax' as assurance that he's just as important as anyone else. Large Breed Comparison: German Shepherd vs. Belgian Malinois When comparing the German shepherd vs. Belgian Malinois, you can see why they can be mistaken for one another. When comparing the German shepherd vs. So, does the German shepherd or Belgian Malinois fit the bill? But for dog owners ready to commit to the necessary exercise, training, and socialization, both the German shepherd and the Belgian Malinois can make wonderful companions. Belgian Malinois — and learn more about their history, appearance, temperament, trainability, grooming, and health. Breed History Sometime in the late s, a military officer in Germany named Captain Max von Stephanitz bred various herding dogs into one uniform breed, effectively creating the German shepherd. The breed came to the United States in the early 20th century and has been used as a working dog ever since. In more recent decades, the GSD has become more popular as a household companion. The Belgian Malinois hails from — you guessed it — Belgium, in particular the Malines region in the northwestern part of the country. Because of their very high energy level, the Mal was bred and used as a herding dog early on, just like the German shepherd. Thanks to their strong noses and excellent tracking abilities, the Belgian Malinois has frequently been used for police, military, and search and rescue work around the world. These two dog breeds look very similar. But there are a few key differences that can help you tell them apart. When comparing German shepherd vs. Belgian Malinois size, remember that the German shepherd is slightly larger. The Belgian Malinois, on the other hand, weighs in at pounds males and pounds females. However, both breeds are similar in height, with males standing between 24 and 26 inches off the ground and females about 22 to 24 inches tall. And their history as herding breeds make both ideal for police work and other serious undertakings. But how does that impact their personality as pets? Both breeds make good jogging or hiking partners and do best with an owner who enjoys an active lifestyle. Consult an animal behaviorist or dog trainer for help avoiding or addressing these issues. Trainability Training the German shepherd vs. Belgian Malinois will be very similar. Both dogs are highly intelligent and very trainable remember, they like having a job to do , so they can learn a variety of commands and tricks. Both dogs respond well to positive reinforcement via verbal praise and treats. Grooming Needs Both of these dog breeds have a double coat consisting of a top layer and an undercoat. You might want to go with a breed like a poodle or a Portuguese water dog instead, which are relatively high-energy breeds that are less likely to cause allergy problems. Neither the German shepherd or the Malinois should ever be shaved — their double coat keeps them cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and shaving it off will expose them to the elements. Longer hair around the legs and tail can be trimmed carefully with scissors if desired. Health and Lifespan When comparing the German shepherd vs. Belgian Malinois lifespan, there is a clear difference. So, the Belgian Malinois tends to live nearly twice as long as the German shepherd. As medium- to large-sized dogs who remain quite active, both the GSD and the Mal are prone to musculoskeletal health issues like hip dysplasia , elbow dysplasia, and degenerative disc disease. The German shepherd is slightly larger, so they may be at an increased risk for bloat. Both breeds are prone to eye health problems such as progressive retinal atrophy. Still, both of these breeds are fairly healthy overall. Want to help your dog have better joint health and less pain as they age?

German Shepherd vs. Belgian Malinois: These are two working dog breeds that dog lovers all over the world can appreciate. Which one is right for you? Both breeds look very similar.

My fascination for this breed actually began as a child while growing up in Great Britain. The yearly outing with my father was one I looked forward to with much anticipation. Years later I married my husband, Gene. It was always my ambition to one day bring a boxer into our own family, to be raised together with our two young sons. In we ventured out to purchase our first American bred boxer. Both my husband and I consider ourselves very fortunate indeed to have been able to purchase a beautiful, show potential brindle bitch named Chelsea from Glenn and Zona Grupe of Glennroe Boxers. Attending shows together, Zona and I put four owner-handled majors in quick succession on our beautiful Chelsea. As our foundation bitch, she launched Telstar on its way to success. Much more, I might add, than my wildest dreams. Striving to do the very best we possibly can in every aspect of raising, breeding and showing our own dogs has enabled me to enjoy the benefits of knowing our achievements have come from our love and devotion for the Boxer. Showing and breeding has had additional perks. I have had the great fortune of meeting many wonderful people along the way. As a boxer breeder, I also derive a great deal of satisfaction when placing a pet puppy in a companion home, knowing that these buyers benefit not only from our philosophy of breeding a quality, healthy, structurally sound boxer, but also from having the joy and love of owning one. I still enjoy competing as an owner handler, and oddly enough, still feel that same overwhelming sense of accomplishment being on the other end of the leash when I finish the championship on one of my dogs. The feeling is no different than I felt in the beginning, some thirty years ago. We have answers.

These scams have become increasingly prevalent and sophisticated over time, with scammers using a range of tactics to deceive unsuspecting buyers. One of the most common tactics used by scammers is to steal photos of real dogs from reputable sites and use them to generate fake postings. In other cases, they may search for images of popular puppies from Facebook or Instagram and use those for their postings. Some scammers may even go as far as using a combination of stolen photos and false identities to create a listing that looks legitimate.

This can lead to a lot of emotional turmoil and distress, especially for those who were eagerly anticipating the arrival of their new pet.

Choose a name that does not reflect a negative personality attribute. Choosing a name based on current trends is not a good idea. Your German Shepherd should not have an embarrassing name either. Apart from the foregoing, when naming a German Shepherd, you should always consider the temperament and external behavior of the dog. Choosing a symbolic and meaningful name for your new GSD puppy is a very clever method to name the German Shepherd Dog. Because the German Shepherd dog breed originated in Germany, traditional German names which are meaningful in some way should be considered. Our collection of German Shepherd names and meanings could help you find the right new name for your GSD puppy, or at the very least encourage you to continue your search in this direction. This list is separated into two sections: one for meaningful male GSD names and another for meaningful female GSD names. Male German Shepherd Names and Meanings This is just a small sample of the numerous meaningful male German Shepherd names you might choose for your own dog. German Shepherds are admired for their bravery and soul. A name that expresses the personality and purpose of male dogs is also the finest option. It can be challenging to come up with a creative name for German Shepherd puppies. To name a dog, you must first grasp its personality, behavior, appearance, and physical traits. In comparison to female German Shepherds, males are more possessive, domineering, and prideful. Because they are huge and masculine, they are more protective. Abelard — resolute. Although Willow is a unisex dog name, I thought it deserved this spot! The name Willow originated in England and stems from the willow tree. It is associated with life, fertility, elegance, grace, and harmony. Dog characteristics associated with the name Willow are strong-willed, affectionate, loyal, and protective. Therefore, it is the perfect match for a German Shepherd. Luna The word Luna is the source of all words lunar. It represents the moon only because it was initially meant to stand for the Greek moon goddess. It, therefore, represents all traits associated with the gentle female that stood in stark contrast to the terrifying sun kings of various myths. Luna is an excellent name for a dog that is empathetic and compassionate, has eyes that speak volumes, and is highly intelligent. All these traits are generally true for female German Shepherds. It is a good name to give to a German Shepherd that can connect with her owner on a spiritual level. Hazel For literalists, this word represents the Hazel tree. However, as a meaning of a name, it contextually represents tradition. It has a history in a time when botanical names became the norm in England and is one of the few that sounds pleasant enough to survive into modern times. It is a good name to give a dog that has the vibe of a matriarch in the making. Arya Arya is a German-origin word that means melody. It represents music, marching to your own tune, and having a poetic effect on others. You should name your German Shepherd Arya if the noises she makes are music to your ears or if music excites her. Arya is also an excellent name for your girl German Shepherd if you are a Game of Thrones fan. Arya Stark was one of the strongest and bravest characters in Game of Thrones, and these two traits replicate the GSD. Freya Freya was the Goddess of love to the Vikings. Freya is the perfect name for a dog you love or one that represents what love means to you. Riley In smaller dog breeds, this is a unisex name, but among German Shepherds, it is used exclusively for females. It is a derivative of a similar-sounding old English word that represents a small stream. It is a good name for a dog that is active and a small baby at heart, regardless of age. Abby Abby is short for Abigail, which in human names has come to represent eternal joy. Wife of King David, Abigail was known for her loyalty. You can name your GSD baby Abby to showcase how much you value German Shepherd loyalty or simply because she brings you joy. Emma, in old English, represented everything universal. It became a popular name because of how many babies mean the whole world to their parents. If your GSD is everything to you, then you should name her Emma. Honey This one does not need much explanation. Since the Renaissance of poetry, this representation has become more metaphorical. Ella In old high German, Ella was Alia. Al was briefly revived to the name Al Pacino, after which it was phased out again. If Alia morphed to All, why was there a need to branch off to Ella? Rocky Believe it or not, Sylvester Stallone did not invent the name Rocky. Rokke was an Old English term for, well, rocky stuff. If your dog has the traits of Rocky Balboa, name him Rocky. Leo Before it became an astrological excuse for men to be egotistical, Leo was a word used by Latin people to identify a lion. For old Germans, Leo was a contraction for Leon, a word that represented bravery. Milo Milo comes from miles, which is Latin for soldier. It also coincides with Slavic Milu, which means merciful. This makes it the perfect name for male GSDs owned by single guys. Bear Bear comes from Berra and Bjorn, both of which mean Bear but in older languages. King Shepherds are excellent GSD-adjacent candidates for the name. If your German Shepherd is excellent at following instructions or generally makes you proud, you can name him Ace. Ranger Rang in old French meant what rank means now. Ranger is an explorer who follows orders. King All old versions of the word king mean king. It is a name fit for a German Shepherd who carries himself like a royal. The old English version went from referring to spirits to referring to haunting spirits by the time it became a ghost. Even though the name lacks depth, it is still a fun name to give a dark-colored German Shepherd. Jackson Regardless of meaning, this would be an excellent name to give your dog if your name is Jack. Titan Titan in modern English comes from the Latin word Titan. The word has retained its meaning and form for over years. There is significant evidence that names have a substantial effect on personality and even visual appearance. Name your German Shepherd wisely, and choose a name you like so the dog can associate his own name with the pleasure he witnesses on your face when you call him. In dogs, you can be influenced by the name, so more than its meaning, how much you like it matters. I would say that personal preference should be the highest priority, followed by what the name means and, finally, what people think of it. Are you looking for more names?

How long has the Labradoodle been known as a breed? Labradoodles have been intentionally bred in Australia since .Wally Conran, a breeder of guide dogs, was the first breeder, using a standard poodle and Labrador retriever. The main goal was to create a dog that had the laid back nature of the Labrador coupled with the intelligence and allergy friendly coat of the Poodle. As the breed gained popularity, many kennels have bred and cross-bred the Labradoodle. What is an Australian Labradoodle? Over time infusions of some other breeds were added to target smaller sizes and more consistent, lower maintenance coats. The breed then became known as the Australian Labradoodle. Over the years the Labrador and poodle have kept a high degree of function ie agility and freedom of movement within their breeding. Both breeds were originally bred to be gun dogs, were excellent at retrieving waterfowl and due to their intelligence and trainability they are still used for hunting to this day. Labradors have a strong and muscular body, are athletic and playful and well known for their easy going gentle nature, placid and are great around children. However, they do love their food and are at the larger end of the scale, so harder to fit in the car. Poodles are long lived, have good genetic strengths and a well-proportioned muscular frame, which is helpful in preventing joint problems. They love to be close to their human as they can be less self-sufficient than the Labrador. They can also be a little bouncy and excitable. Both breeds are popular as working and family dogs as well as therapy and service dogs. Bred together, the hugely popular Labradoodle, which seems to moderate the extremes of both breeds, is intelligent, easy going and an affectionate companion with a low to non-shedding coat.

Simply put, the F1 has purebred parents — meaning that the mother and father were both purebred poodle or labrador retrievers. An F2 Labradoodle comes from two Labradoodles. F1 is the first generation of offspring born from two different species of parents. F2 is the following generation — so the Labradoodle was born from two F1 Labradoodles. Since they have a more stagnant genetic make-up, the F1 Labradoodle is often healthier than the F2. Without too much genetic variation, a life-threatening health condition is less likely.

Proper brushing gets rid of the dead undercoat fur and allows a healthy coat to grow.

This results in poorly bred dogs, more health problems, and unethical breeding practices. They argue that these mixes dilute breed standards and histories. Price: Labradoodles can be quite expensive, sometimes even more so than their purebred counterparts. Critics argue that people are paying high prices for what are essentially mixed-breed dogs, without guarantees regarding temperament or health. Rescue Advocacy: With so many dogs in shelters needing homes, some believe that the focus on breeding designer dogs detracts from the more pressing issue of rescuing existing dogs. This means that it is extremely common to see Doodle dogs with matted coats. If you have your heart set on a Labrapoo, then please be sure to first seek an ethical breeder or ideally visit a rescue and be prepared for daily grooming. In summary, while many people love Labradoodles for their temperament, intelligence, and potential hypoallergenic qualities, there are valid concerns about the unpredictability of their traits, ethical breeding practices, and the larger implications for the dog breeding community. Over time, with consistent breeding for specific standards, they gained recognition. The Labradoodle could be viewed in this same light: a breed in the early stages of development. The original intent was to create a guide dog that combined the trainability of the Labrador with the hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle for people who suffered from allergies. That said, breeding dogs to be companions and pets is a valid function. Desirable Traits: Many Labradoodle owners attest to their dogs having a combination of the best traits of both breeds, such as intelligence, friendliness, and a low-shedding coat. Adaptability: Labradoodles are often described as versatile family dogs, being good with children and other pets. Their generally affable nature makes them suitable for a variety of living situations, from apartments to houses with yards. Over time, with rigorous breeding standards, the variability within the breed could decrease. These are all purebred dogs that have suffered for their popularity and for breeding to extreme proportions that affected their health. Popularity and Breeding Issues: Any dog breed that sees a surge in popularity will unfortunately attract unscrupulous breeders looking to make a quick profit. Instead of condemning the entire breed, it might be more productive to focus on promoting responsible breeding and educating potential dog owners. Rescue and Adoption: The popularity of Labradoodles has also led to the creation of rescue organizations specifically dedicated to the breed. This provides potential owners with the option to adopt rather than purchase, saving a dog in need and giving it a loving home. In conclusion, while there are valid concerns regarding Labradoodles, there are also strong arguments in their favor. They are incredibly intelligent, loyal, affectionate, sociable, lively, playful, and energetic, making them great family pets. They are also easy to train and enjoy learning new tricks. Labradoodles are very sensitive and tuned to your emotions, which is why they make such great service and guide dogs. However, this also means that stern treatment will also affect these mixes more deeply. So ensure you earn how to discipline your dog without punishing them. They love to play and run around, so they need a spacious area to move around. Labradoodle Suitability with Children and Animals F1 Labradoodles are also good with children and other pets, which makes them a great addition to any household. However, always supervise interactions between your dog and small kids to prevent accidents. They can sometimes chase smaller animals, but most of them do fine with adequate socialization. Care and Maintenance How to Groom Labradoodles Labradoodles have a coat that requires regular grooming to keep it healthy and free from tangles. They have a low-shedding coat that needs to be brushed daily to prevent matting. Use a slicker brush to remove any dead hair and prevent tangles. Brush their teeth twice a week and use a dental rinse on some of the other days. Clean their ears twice a week to prevent ear infections. It is important to trim their nails regularly to prevent them from getting too long and causing discomfort. Labradoodles may need regular coat trims to maintain coat length Two common trimming styles are the puppy cut and the teddy bear cut. Others include continental trim, German cut, modern cut, and summer cut. Dietary Requirements F1 Labradoodles have a high energy level and require a balanced diet to maintain their health and energy. It is important to avoid overfeeding them as they can become overweight and develop health problems. Also, feed them twice a day and provide plenty of fresh water. They enjoy running, swimming, playing fetch and other interactive games with their owners. It is essential to provide plenty of exercise to prevent them from becoming bored and destructive. One point to note is that they are slightly more prone to tail issues, such as limber tail syndrome or happy tail syndrome, which you can read about in our article on dog tail anatomy. Hip dysplasia and other musculoskeletal issues, which can cause pain and mobility issues. Labs are three times more likely to suffer from arthritis and may pass this to Labrapoos. Ear infections due to their droopy ears cause discomfort, itching, and hot ears and require treatment. Skin issues like sebaceous adenitis lead to hair loss. Studies show that Poodles have a genetic predisposition to this issue. Von Willebrand Disease: This bleeding disorder affects blood clotting and can result in prolonged bleeding. Eye issues like cataracts, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, and optic nerve hypoplasia underdevelopment of the optic nerve for Mini F1 Labradoodles. Thyroid issues like diabetes and hypothyroidism. Epilepsy and other neurological issues. Moderate issues like obesity, dental issues, and allergies. Not all F1 Labradoodles will experience these health issues, and many can live long and healthy lives with proper care and attention. However, potential owners should be aware of these concerns and take steps to prevent or manage them as needed. Life Expectancy The average life expectancy for an F1 Labradoodle is around years. However, this can vary depending on several factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and overall health. F1 Labradoodles, in particular, are known for their eager-to-please nature and their ability to learn quickly. This section will cover finding a breeder and adoption options. Look for a breeder who is reputable and has experience breeding Labradoodles. Check if the breeder is a member of any breed clubs or organizations. This can give you an idea of their commitment to the breed and their reputation in the community. Ask the breeder about the health and temperament of their dogs. A good breeder will be happy to answer any questions you have and provide you with genetic tests on the parents of any puppies they have available. They should also be willing to let you meet the parents and see where the puppies are being raised. The rise of doodles has slowly started becoming a trend. Because of this, experts, including the creator himself , are greatly concerned about possible unethical breeding practices. Adoption Options Adopting an F1 Labradoodle can be a great option for those who want to give a loving home to a dog in need. There are many rescue organizations and shelters that have Labradoodles available for adoption. When adopting, find a reputable rescue organization or shelter. Look for organizations that have a good reputation and are transparent about their adoption process. Ensure you have the time, resources, and commitment to provide your new furry friend with a loving home. Rescue Labradoodle organizations include:. F1 Labradoodle puppies. Today we share a complete introduction to the F1 Labradoodle. This Labradoodle puppy is playing in a way that only a puppy can. What does f1 Labradoodle mean? Labradoodles are a cultural phenomenon. The first intentional Lab and Poodle mix dogs were bred in the s as low shedding candidates for service work. At that time, mixed breed dogs were regarded with disdain by many people. And the rest, as they say, is history. Now almost everyone is familiar with what a Labradoodle is, and they have paved the way for dozens of other designer dogs too. But fewer people are acquainted with the filial numbering system for mixed breed dogs. Put simply, an f1 generation Labradoodle has one pedigree Labrador parent, and one pedigree Poodle parent. The number 1 describes how many generations removed a puppy is from their closest purebred ancestor. F1 Labradoodles are one generation apart from a purebred dog. F1 vs F2 Labradoodle Puppies? Breeders usually specify that their litter is an f1 generation in order to distinguish it from different filial generations. F2 Labradoodles have two F1 Labradoodle parents. Their most recent pedigree ancestors are now their grandparents — two generations away. The physical and behavioral traits of f2 dogs are harder to predict. This is because in the confines of a pedigree population, we usually have a good idea of what genes Labs and Poodles may be carrying but not expressing, and how those genes might affect F1 Labradoodles. But the unexpressed genes in an F1 Labradoodle are an unknown quantity. Did they come from the Lab or the Poodle parent? Will they be expressed in the F2 generation? Who knows? And finally, multigen Labradoodles are several generations removed from their most recent pedigree ancestor on one or both sides. What is a standard f1 Labradoodle? This describes the size of their Poodle parent. Poodles come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature and Toy. What does an F1 Labradoodle look like? Their coat is usually kept at a single length all over, known as a puppy clip. Furthermore, lots of owners report f1 Labradoodle coat changes as their puppy grows up. Firstly, the length, softness, and texture can change when their adult coat replaces their puppy coat. This process starts at about 6 months old, and can take several weeks or even months. Secondly, their color can change over time if they inherit the progressive greying gene from their Poodle parent. Labrador Poodle mix dogs can have a tall and leggy silhouette like a Poodle. Or be more long and sturdy-looking like a Labrador. Labradoodle dogs have floppy, v-shaped ears because both of their parents do. But their muzzle can be wider or narrower depending on whether they take after a Labrador or a Poodle more. F1 Labradoodle Size? Th adult size of a Poodle Lab mix dog depends upon things like: whether their Poodle parent was standard or miniature sized whether their Labrador parent came from working or show lines their sex and individual variation. In both Labs and Standard Poodles, male dogs are frequently bigger than females, so the same is true of a standard f1 Labradoodle. Females typically reach between 40 and 70lbs, and males weigh 60 to 80lbs. Working type Labs are usually leaner and lighter, whilst show Labs are usually stockier and heavier — and they can pass this onto their puppies. Miniature f1 Labradoodle size is much harder to predict. Male and female Miniature Poodles both weigh 10 to 15lbs. So most mini f1 Labradoodles will weigh between 30 and 45lbs, but outliers can weigh much more or much less! Breeding f1b mini Labradoodle litters with one Miniature f1 Labradoodle parent and one Miniature Poodle parent is a popular way of producing Lab and Poodle mix dogs which are consistently small. Do f1 Labradoodles shed? This means most f1 Labradoodles shed significantly less than a purebred Lab. But, this is not guaranteed, and exactly how much less they shed does vary. Moreover, a non-shedding coat does not mean that a Labradoodle mix or even a purebred Poodle for that matter is hypoallergenic. Training and exercising f1 Labradoodles Labradors and Poodles are both lively, energetic and intelligent dogs. In fact, they both started out as working gundogs, bred to spend long and physically arduous days retrieving shot waterfowl and returning it to their handler. Since a lot of those unlucky birds fell in water, Labs and Poodles were also favored by duck hunters for their natural love of swimming. With this heritage, Labradoodles are likely to pick up new commands quickly and easily, especially if their Labrador parent came from working lines. They benefit from activities like gundog training, agility, or canine freestyle to stretch their mental muscles as well as their physical ones. Speaking of physical muscle, Labradoodle dogs need at least 2 hours of outdoor activity every day, which can including walking on or off leash, or swimming. F1 Labradoodle health Just like everything else, first generation Labradoodle health is a mixed inheritance from both of their parents. Labradors and Poodles share a genetic predisposition to some health problems, such as hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. But they also both carry some recessive genetic conditions that the other does not. This is significant to Labradoodles because recessive diseases only affect puppies who inherit the faulty genes that cause them from both parents. So mixed breed dogs tend to be protected, if only one parent breed carries the faulty gene. Examples of recessive genetic diseases in Labs and Poodles that f1 Labradoodles are usually protected from include exercise induced collapse, and sebaceous adenitis. F1 Labradoodles are also susceptible to the acquired i. You can protect your dog from these by making smart lifestyle choices, such as measuring food out accurately, and drying their ears after they go swimming. Labradors and Standard Poodles typically live for approximately 12 years, so a standard F1 Labradoodle will be about the same. On average, mixed breed dogs live for 2 years longer than pedigree dogs, thanks to factors like the protection from some hereditary diseases described above. Miniature Poodles live nearly 14 years on average. This extra life expectancy might also be seen in mini f1 and mini f1b Labradoodle dogs. Are f1 Labradoodles good pets? Labradoodles have taken the world by storm, because they have the potential to be fantastic pets in the right households. Labs and Poodles are both affectionate with their human family, and patient with younger family members. However, the Poodle tends to be less interested in unfamiliar people and dogs than the Labrador, and an f1 Labradoodle could go one way or the other. Good breeders will have lots of questions about you, your household, your lifestyle, and what you expect life with a Labradoodle to be like. Finally, good breeders also have a waiting list, so expect to wait a while for your puppy to be ready. The letter and number F1 signify that a puppy is a first generation Labradoodle. What is an F1 Labradoodle? And the number after it tells you many generations a dog is removed from their closest purebred ancestor. An F1 Labradoodle is one generation removed from their nearest purebred ancestors — their parents. Predicting F1 Labradoodle Qualities Whenever two different dog breeds are crossed, the genetic inheritance of their puppies can vary significantly. So some puppies will look and act more like a Lab, while others will be the spitting image of the Poodle, or they could be a mix of both parents. For example, most people associate the Labradoodle with the low-shedding, curly Poodle coat. You never know exactly what the puppies will grow up to be like. There can even be big differences between puppies from the same litter! The good news is that both the Lab and the Poodle have a lot to recommend them. These sociable canines bond with everyone, including other pets. Despite their easygoing personality, Labs are high-energy dogs that need lots of exercise. They were originally bred as waterdogs, helping hunters catch and retrieve waterfowl. Labradors have a short, dense double-coat that comes in black, yellow, or chocolate. Adults will stand from .In reality Poodles are elegant, smart, versatile and athletic. While some Poodles can be a bit aloof with strangers, owners will tell you that they are very loyal, affection pets. In addition to Standard Poodles who typically stand about 24 inches and can weigh from 40 to 70 pounds, there are two other types of Poodle. The Miniature Poodle is under 15 inches, and the Toy Poodle under 10 inches. These dogs are all famous for their curly, low-shedding coat that comes in a wide array of colors and markings. F1 Labradoodle Appearance As we know, Labradoodles can inherit physical characteristics of either parent breed, or they can be a mix between the two. Standard Labradoodles are usually medium to large dogs, standing from 21 to 24 inches and weighing in the 50 to 65 pound range. But some outliers may stay smaller, or grow even bigger. Especially if they had particularly small or large parents. There are 3 different coat texture possibilities. F1 Labradoodle Temperament Labradoodles are prized for their good-natured, playful temperaments. These friendly dogs love to be around people and also take to other pets. Ideally, they find a home with an active family, because this high-spirited canine needs regular walks and playtime. However, any dog, mixed breed or purebred is an individual with their own unique character. Some of this is due to parentage, but puppies also need to be properly trained and socialized from an early age. This will ensure they know how to behave in any situation. Luckily, Labradoodles inherit brains from both sides of the family tree and both parents share an enthusiasm and aptitude for training. Are F1 Labradoodles Healthier than their Parents? On the one hand, inbreeding and overuse of popular sires has increased inherited defects in purebred dogs. However, this is a statistical average, meaning some Labradoodles still inherit the genetic conditions of their parents. The role of breeders As one of the first designer dogs, Labradoodles have played a starring role in the surge of enthusiasm for mixed breeding. Purebred enthusiasts argue that crossbreeding promotes unethical breeding practices. Because Labradoodles are popular, they are vulnerable to being exploited by puppy farmers and bad breeders. But the same is equally true of popular pedigree dogs. Unscrupulous breeders care nothing for the welfare of animals, and breed without regard to health or welfare, creating dogs that have terrible temperaments and an overabundance of health problems. F1 Labradoodle Health There are some health conditions that both Labs and Poodles are prone to, which means Labradoodles are as well. Hip dysplasia occurs when the ball and socket of the hip joint do not grow at the same pace. This deformity causes the joint to deteriorate over time and can lead to painful arthritis. Both breeds are also at risk for eye disorders, including progressive retinal atrophy PRA , a serious condition that begins with not being able to see at night and leads to blindness. Only purchase an F1 Labradoodle puppy from a breeder who has secured health tests for these conditions, for both parents. This is a life-threatening condition that affects larger dog breeds, and especially deep chested breeds like the Poodle. To protect your dogs against this, learn the symptoms, and how to protect against it through lifestyle choices. What is an F2 Labradoodle? It means both parents were F1 Labradoodles. Their closest purebred parent is two generations removed, i. The exact genetic inheritance of F2 Labradoodles is even harder to predict. So you may be wondering just how breeders can create more consistent litters. What is an F1b Labradoodle? Usually a Poodle, since the goal is typically to increase the odds of a non-shedding coat. In a Poodle-ish way! Is an F1 Labradoodle Right for Me? Due to being first generation, F1 Labradoodles can be variable depending upon whether they take after the Lab or the Poodle. Either of the parent breeds is intelligent, playful, and ideal for active families. What do you think of the F1 Labradoodle? Let us know in the comments box down below!

One of the benefits of crossing two different breeds is to minimize the health issues that are associated with each breed. The Labradoodle. The labradoodle has been in existence since when an Australian breeder crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. The purpose was to combine the low-shedding coat of the poodle with the loyalty and trainability of a Labrador Retriever. The result was a hypoallergenic guide dog that was immediately loved by all who met him. Since then the breed has increased in popularity in the United States and all across the world. I went to meet Mike to talk about an upcoming litter and Bailey was sitting by herself. I pretty much changed my mind and wanted her immediately.

One of the reasons why the Poodle was originally crossed with the Labrador Retriever was to reduce the heavy shedding trait of the Labrador Retriever whilst retaining its good nature and temperament.

Throughout the s, long haired German Shepherds were considered unsuitable and unacceptable for breeding.

The breeding of long-haired German Shepherds follows the same rigorous standards and principles as their short-haired counterparts. The focus remains on maintaining the breed's exceptional temperament, working abilities, and overall health.

Some of my story…. I have been in love with german shepherds ever since i was 20 and got my first German shepherd dog named Elsa. I decided about 10 years ago that i wanted to start breeding. I work hard on breeding only from the best lines. I breed for health, temperament, workability, beauty, and many other things. I try to stick to long coats because those are my favorite. Our goal with our breeding program is to promote healthy, sound dogs, who are suitable for any situation and be gentle enough to able to be handled by families as well. I have a variety of drives and energies and each puppy goes thru temperament testing to make sure they go to the right homes, as well as being raised on the Puppy Culture Program. I do not promote the extreme roach back shepherds. Mine either have the proper gentle slope or a more straight old fashioned back. All my dogs are part of the family. We do not have kennels, and I will never keep my dogs in kennels. That would make them very unhappy lol. Every dog i own lives in the house with us and is part of our family. I have recently acquired a nursery shed! It was bought as a shell and I am building the whole inside into puppy rooms, and after the puppies are raised indoors in my bedroom for the first couple weeks, they are then moved out to the nursery shed! They will still be in the house all the time, but they will be in the shed and outdoors when nice for a majority. I am so excited for the addition and have been waiting a long time for it!!!! My goals for are to get ALL my dogs various titles! I implement the Puppy Culture Program into our litters! Its amazing, and so much fun! I love being able to give puppies the absolute best start in their lives which will impact their whole life! Its an amazing program! Puppies are raised for the first 2 weeks in our bedroom so we can watch over them carefully and someone is always with them during that time, and during that time we also do the Early Neurological Stimulation with them. Then we move them to their bigger whelping pens which will be the nursery shed now where we play classical music and other varieties including thunderstorm all the time except bedtime when its quiet time. They learn to use the litter boxes and play with toys. We introduce to new sounds, smells, and textures daily. They are raised in our home and underfoot most of the time, and are handled all day everyday, so they get the full family setting and used to daily family activities and noises and such. This is all a HUGE learning process for me. I do my best and try my hardest at all times. I do not claim to be perfect but I always strive for perfection. I want to produce the best quality dogs I can and I want everyone to always be happy with their lifelong companions. I may make mistakes along the way, but I will always try to fix them and do better next time and move forward and take each mistake as a learning opportunity. My goal is to provide happiness and love to everyone thru my favorite dog- the German shepherd. I also provide transport for my puppies and others as well. They change so often, I cannot give a set price at any time until its actually time to book. If transport is needed to meet you someplace or take a puppy to meet you at the airport, it is the same, 50 cents a mile round trip. I will start a list in the menu at the top, of websites, or breeder names, whom I feel are deserving of recognition. Ill try to update this list whenever I think of someone or something I may have missed!
