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. Breeders VS. The sad truth is that many pet store purchased pups actually come from puppy mills. Basically, there is zero authenticity with pet stores. When it comes to adopting any animal from a pet store, there is an increased risk of unforeseen health or genetic problems. You also cultivate a life-long relationship with the breeder, meaning support is available to you anytime you may need it. With My Golden Retriever Puppies , you have the option to come and visit both the puppy and the breeder in person! Golden Retrievers are an adaptable breed, meaning they are better at adapting to seasonal changes and various types of climate than certain other breeds. Goldens sport a double-coat, which ensures that these sweet pups are able to tolerate slightly colder temperatures than their friends from other breeds. Your pup deserves better than that, which is why here at My Golden Retriever Puppies , we ensure high-quality care is taken of your pet at all times. For more about the true price of a golden retriever puppy, you can read our full price breakdown here. Location Information for New York Customers Our home office is located in Ohio, but we understand that long-distance travel can be inconvenient. If you prefer to meet a breeder in person, they may be able to offer private visits at their home. Of course! Here at My Golden Retriever Puppies , we value family and authenticity, which is why we always guarantee our pups through our 2-year genetic health guarantee. Like adopting a Golden Retriever from a pet store, there is an increased risk when adopting a pup from a rescue center or shelter as well. For example, pups purchased through a shelter or rescue center are far less likely to come with the kinds of health guarantees and reassurances that a breeder can provide.

The Golden Retriever has been an AKC-recognized breed since and was commonly used as a gun dog and for retrieving small game such as waterfowl, and for companionship. The Golden Retriever originated in the Scottish Highlands. The first Lord Tweedmouth, Dudley Majoribanks, is credited with developing the breed and keeping detailed records to create the ideal gun dog for the terrain. Great discipline and a gentle spirit make the Golden Retriever a perfect retrieval breed since the goal of this task is to bring the trophy back as undamaged as possible. Golden Retrievers first appeared in dog shows in at a British dog show. They also started appearing in the United States around the same time as they were brought across the Canadian border. They gained popularity with sport hunters and in general. Their popularity really took off in the s and they are consistently one of the most popular dog breeds. If you are not the sporting type, bringing a Golden Retriever into your family as a pet is just as rewarding because they are one of the most loyal and jovial breeds out there. One of the facts about Golden Retrievers is that they are the epitome of friendly and make fantastic family dogs. Golden Retrievers are considered one of the friendliest dog breeds. They tend to be good with kids, other dogs, other pets, and even strangers. Goldens love attention and they bond closely with their families. They are affectionate with them, and also just about everyone else. Although they do tend to get along with everyone, they love being around their favorite humans the most. They will bark to alert you and can end up barking a lot if you do not train your dog to stop barking early on. Golden Retrievers are highly adaptable dogs. They thrive in homes with yards where they can run. They can also adapt to apartment living as long as they get enough daily exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. These dogs do well in just about any climate, but are sensitive to heat. As one of the most affectionate dog breeds , they are not at all happy about being left alone for long periods of time. Although super-friendly and attention-loving, Goldens can also be sensitive to their surroundings; make sure they feel included, but have a quiet place to go if things get too noisy or overwhelming. Potential health concerns to be aware of in a Golden Retriever include progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts, elbow dysplasia , and hip dysplasia. Good breeding practices make a big difference in the health of puppies. Reputable breeders screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of the parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. Goldens are considered one of the best dog breeds for first-time owners. They are highly trainable dogs that pick up on things quickly and are eager to please. These traits make them a good fit for owners of all experience levels. It also helps them excel at obedience competitions. As one of the smartest dog breeds , Golden Retrievers can get bored easily. Because they pick up things quickly, they can get bored with too much repetition in training. If your dog has mastered the command, move on to something more advanced or another activity. You can also enroll in puppy training classes for some variety in training and also some socialization. Golden Retrievers have a long double coat that will shed a little year-round and will be heavier twice a year as the seasons change. Brushing a few times a week and daily brushing during seasonal shedding along with a bath as needed is usually enough for at-home care. You will want to go to the dog groomer for a professional trim a few times a year, especially as the seasons change. Nail trims once or twice monthly keep nails from growing too long. Daily tooth brushing, along with cleanings at the vet when needed, is ideal. Golden Retrievers are one of the most active dog breeds. Daily walks plus some playtime, time to run, and other activities are usually enough to keep these dogs happy and healthy. But, they are high-energy dogs that will likely always be up for more activity if you are. Much like the Labrador , they also tend to have an extended puppyhood. They tend to start winding down a little around the age of 3 and settle into your lifestyle, but they will still be high-energy dogs that require a lot of daily activity. Goldens are known for being versatile and athletic dogs. They tend to love swimming. Once they are done growing and the vet clears them for higher-impact activities, you can try other things too. They are one of the dog breeds that make good running partners. You can also teach them how to play frisbee or play fetch. Training for dog sports is another good option. In addition to obedience, Golden Retrievers are well suited for agility, dock diving , rally, flyball, tracking, and more. Fully-grown Golden Retrievers usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds. Golden Retrievers generally live for years on average. With their intelligence, eagerness to please, and gentle disposition, Golden Retrievers are versatile working dogs. In addition to being one of the dog breeds that make the best service dogs , Goldens can be found working as emotional support dogs, certified therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs, military dogs, police dogs, animal actors, and more.

Exercise Grooming In the past, the English bulldog was used by foreign immigrants who moved to South America and brought their dogs with them. The breed, however, became close to extinction after the second world war. Some breeders, John D. Johnson, and Alan Scott kept infusing several bulldogs together in the bid to breed the American Bulldog while monitoring its health and capabilities. Today, the American bulldog is completely rid of the fear of being extinct and has become one of the most popular dog breeds in the country. The American bulldog is many sizes larger than the English Bulldog; however, they are quite similar when it comes to their temperament. It is basically a huge, cuddly, lap dog that loves children and is very affectionate. It is brave, confident and extremely loyal to its owners. They can be quite reserved when around strangers as they like to mark their territories. When trained from a young age, the American Bulldog will display an impressive level of intelligence. They are not so friendly with other strange dogs and mostly like to keep to themselves. As earlier stated, the American bulldog is a fun-loving, happy dog that thrives in a family setting. The perfect environment for this breed would be a home with a large backyard that is well fenced-in. Since they are very energetic and must be kept active, it is imperative to their growth that they have ample space to run around during the day. This is crucial for their mental and physical well-being. For dog lovers who live in apartments, the American bulldog might not be the best option for them. This is because there is inadequate space for them and being left alone would adversely affect their mental health. They can also become very irritable and destructive if left alone for long periods as they need constant mental and physical stimulation. The American Bulldog needs about two hours of outdoor exercise on a daily basis. It goes without saying that this breed is not suitable for people who work many hours every day. This dog breed requires basic physical and mental stimulation like jogging, walking, chasing balls, playing fetch, farm work, agility, and basic obedience exercises. Due to the temperament of the American Bulldog, it has to get as much exercise preferably in the outdoors. If its exercise requirements are not consistently met, this dog breed will take out its frustration in your home by chewing apart and basically destroying everything it comes in contact with while running around. The American Bulldog has quite a short coat with a minimized length and this feature makes it easy to groom. Brushing their coats weekly is usually enough when it comes to grooming the American Bulldog as they do not shed a lot. They also need thorough baths weekly or as needed as this will keep the shedding in check. Our American Bulldog puppies for sale come from either USDA licensed commercial breeders or hobby breeders with no more than 5 breeding mothers. We only purchase puppies from the very best sources, and we stand behind every puppy we sell. American Bulldogs love routine and will adapt to an exercise and grooming routine if the owner enforces it perfectly. As loyal dogs, they love to please their owners but will only obey upon frequent reinforcements. Do American Bulldogs shed a lot? Since they do not have a lot of fur, they do not shed a lot and owners will not have a lot of hair to clean up, unlike many other dog breeds. Why do American Bulldogs have webbed feet? This is mainly due to genetics and is not a cause for concern. Should American Bulldogs be spayed? Many vets advise that American Bulldog owners should ensure their pets are neutered or spayed when it is between four and nine months. How often should American Bulldogs be fed? The American bulldog has a very large appetite in its formative years. They must, therefore, be fed very often about four times daily and in double portions when they are puppies right until they turn four. Are American Bulldogs a food fit in families? The American bulldog will fit right into your family. They love kids and tend to gravitate towards them. Do American Bulldogs have common health problems? A lot of the health problems experienced by American bulldogs are mostly genetic and do not affect the entire breed. These ailments could range from the kidney to thyroid disorders and a lot more. What is the American Bulldogs life expectancy? The American bulldog has an average lifespan ranging from ten to fifteen years. What is the American Bulldogs average size? The average American Bulldog can grow to 58kg for males and 41kg for females. However, it is important that their diets are closely monitored to keep them from getting overweight. How tall do American Bulldogs get? The male American bulldog can grow as tall as 71cm while its female counterpart can grow up to 61cm. If you want a loyal, smart and incredibly active dog, then the American Bulldog is the perfect fit for you. Are you interested in purchasing a American Bulldog?

From Petland Montgomery The Associated Press Police are looking for two people captured on video dashing out of an Alabama pet store with two French bulldog puppies worth thousands of dollars. The owner of Petland Montgomery, Keith Evans, says a man and a woman spent about 40 minutes in the store Tuesday holding the two high-dollar dogs and asking questions. Surveillance video shows a worker trying to stop the pair as they flee. Police haven't located the pups, but Evans says he's hopeful since each animal is implanted with a microchip. French bulldogs are more popular than ever, and Evans says the pair obviously targeted the female puppies. This is a better picture of the lady's face.

As a result, a double coat Labrador has an undercoat that makes them warmer, sheds more often, and develops dandruff. Double coat Labs wick moisture better, though. A dog with a single coat typically has thin hair rather than thick fur. This coat will show itself around your home, depending on how much shedding your dog does. You can brush your Lab and see their skin behind the comb. Please make sure they get plenty of shade on sunny days. They might not be as good of swimmers as double coat dogs. A primary evolutionary trait of dogs with a double coat is it wicks water off of their fur. What Is a Double Coat Labrador? Many dogs have two layers; The topcoat is usually made of hair, while the undercoat is made of fur. Fur mats and clumps together, whereas hair falls out in strands. A double coat Labrador has to deal with both, while a single coat Lab only has hair. Almost all Labradors have a double coat. Labradors are known to have a double coat, which is why many companies target this breed when advertising grooming kits. They can get exhausted from excess heat and exercise. I cover everything you need to know about what temperature range Labradors can handle here. Dogs with a double coat fare better in cold environments. Labradors originate from colder climates, which is why their insulation is crucial to their survival. Swimming, rainy weather, and similar conditions are no problem for a Lab with an undercoat. Read on to follow the three-step process to find out how many coats they have, why it matters, how to take care of them, and so on. Check beneath the visible layer of fur. This step can be challenging if your Lab has a short double coat because the layers blend together. Figure out the breed almost every Labrador has a double coat, so chances are your Lab is a double coat breed. If your Lab is a cross-breed with another dog with a single coat, you should check with a local vet. Orvis shows single coat dogs are better for warm weather, and double coat dogs do better in cold or mild weather. Also, remember that their undercoat can add more grooming and cleaning around the house. Owning a Lab is a lot of responsibility, and their double layer of hair and fur is part of the process. In addition, Labs are adaptive dogs and can learn to love most environments! Conclusion Now that you know the differences between single coat and double coat Labradors, you can learn how to care for your dog better. Remember to brush your double coat Lab more often and that almost every Labrador is a double coat dog. You can quickly find out which coat your pup has by looking under their topcoat.

Do you want to avoid dogs that shed the most, or is a long coat appealing to you? Labrador retrievers, with their short coats, may seem like a good option for those who want to avoid dog hair all over their furniture. But do Labradors shed? Because the Labrador retriever is known for its agility in the water, the breed has a very thick coat to protect it from both cold weather and cold water. So, it's likely that your Lab will shed more than you'd expect, judging by the Lab's appearance. Although it's obvious that certain dogs shed more than others, it may surprise you how much short-haired dogs actually shed. Dogs with double coats--both an inner coat and an overcoat--whether long or short, shed more than dogs with a single coat. Double-coated dogs typically were bred for colder climates, like the Akita, Alaskan malamute, or American Eskimo dog. A Lab's inner coat is short and dense to keep the dog warm, even when swimming, and the outer coat is longer and helps keep the dog free of dirt and water. This outer coat helps repel moisture, so the Lab can stay warmer longer. Your Lab has its own water-repellent jacket, which is why this breed is especially good at hunting and retrieving waterfowl. Luckily, there are many Labrador shedding solutions at your disposal to keep you and your dog happy and healthy. Using the right comb or brush on your Lab, bathing regularly, and having the right cleaning supplies for your home are all important factors to help you with your Labrador shedding issues. These are the periods when you will see the most hair around your house,and it's crucial to brush your dog around these dog molting seasons. If you have a Lab puppy, be prepared for a big molting when the dog is becoming an adult. Just like we lose our baby teeth to get our adult teeth, puppies shed their softer puppy coat to grow in their coarser, more protective adult coat. Note that even in the heat of summer, you should never shave your Labrador retriever. You may think you are doing your Lab a favor by getting rid of the extra hair, but in fact the dog's body temperature is controlled partially by its hair, and removing a layer disrupts the dog's body temperature and ability to protect itself against moisture. Golden retriever shedding and longhaired Labrador shedding Golden retrievers, closely related to the Labrador retriever, and other longhaired Labradors may appear to shed more than shorthaired Labs. But you may be surprised to find that dogs that shed the most are not always longhaired dogs. But because longhaired dogs obviously have a longer outer coat, their hair is much more obvious and recognizable than short haired dogs. Just like a yellow Lab's coat may show up more obviously on your dark furniture, longer hair is going to have a more prevalent appearance in your home than short hair. Using the below grooming advice for Labs and retrievers, whether short haired or long haired, will help you keep your Lab's coat clean and fresh, and your home free of unwanted dog hair. Labrador grooming It's important to keep up with grooming your Lab, especially during Lab shedding season, as noted above. Grooming may sound difficult and time consuming at first, like something you can only pay professionals for. But keep in mind that Labrador grooming it's actually quite simple to do at home. Start with the right comb or brush. Labs need a high-quality bristle body brush to really get into their double coat and clean it. Also try a brush specific to shedding, like an undercoat rake, which helps get rid of all excess hair during shedding season. These rakes, or combs, have longer bristles to get down deep into the fur to get rid of all the dead hair that would eventually end up on your furniture and floor. Especially during Lab shedding season, be sure to use this brush once a week on your dog, and clean up the hair with a vacuum or broom right after you brush. FURminator as pictured above is a popular brand of combs and brushes for dogs. We recommend using the FURminator Undercoat de-shedding tool for Large Dogs Amazon link no more than once per week, supplemented with a light brush using the Curry Comb for Dogs , both of which help get rid of dead hair in their coats. Overuse can end up hurting dogs, so be mindful of that when using these yourself at home. Other Labrador shedding solutions Of course having outdoor-only Labs will keep unwanted dog hair off of your furniture and floors, but given their trainability and temperament, that is an unlikely solution for most! So here are more tips for keeping your dog's coat and your place clean: Baths Aside from grooming your dog with a brush each week, also consider giving your dog baths every other week at most, but preferably once a month. If your Lab is outdoors most of the day, or if you're returning from a special day out, a regular warm water rinse is preferred if it hasn't been at least two weeks since the last bath. Too much soaping up can have a negative effect on your baby's skin, so we'd like to avoid that at all costs. Bathing as needed and brushing your pooch regularly will keep your dog's coat shiny and will clean away all of the dead hair underneath the coat. Vacuuming Investing in high-quality cleaning supplies for your home is crucial for you to be able to keep your furniture free of hair. If you have wood floors, be sure you sweep regularly and use a wet mop. For carpets, make sure you have a good vacuum that will pick up the coarse dog hair that your Lab sheds. Many vacuums are very effective on hard floors as well, so consider investing in one if you find you have excess hair sitting around building dust bunnies. Talk to your veterinarian about the right food for your dog, especially during Labrador shedding season. Your vet may even suggest certain vitamin supplements, like coconut oil or fish oil, that keep your Lab's coat shiny and healthy. The answer is yes,but remember that shedding is manageable for any dog owner who is willing to work at it. Be sure to use the right combs or brushes on your dog, and groom them regularly to get rid of excess hair. This is especially pertinent when it is dog molting season, which can occur twice or three times a year. Give your Lab regular baths and consult with your vet about the right food or vitamins for a healthy coat. Also equip your home with the right cleaning products and tools to keep your place spotless. Using this advice, you'll be able to live happily and dog-hair-free while allowing your dog to get rid of their unwanted dead coat hair. Canberra, Australia I know that thing about the proper undercoat giving a matt look is written somewhere but I don't agree with it. Both my dogs have had excellent coats proper undercoat, 'hard' feeling along the back, and highly water-repellent. My black dog was shiny as anything, almost to the end of his 14 years, and even Obi, though yellow, has a gloss in the right light. Both desexed. The only dogs I've seen who could be described as matt have: - had no undercoat and a short, very soft coat overall with no 'hard' feel anywhere - been very underweight and with a poor coat overall - been extremely stressed due to a stay in a boarding kennel. I wouldn't describe a really proper Labrador coat as feeling silky.It should feel a touch coarse, or wiry as Snowbunny described it. The two important features are the undercoat which is not usually found right along the top of the back so don't look for it there, it's more along the sides and the water-shedding characteristic. I think all these different answers show how much variation there can be in real life I've read on here that desexing can take away the soft feel of a Spaniel's coat in females anyway. Have not heard of it affecting Labradors. Labradors are famous worldwide for their heavy shedding double-layer Coat. However, these organizations also recognize a sparse undercoat or no undercoat at all. This, in simpler words, means that even though Labradors are meant to have a double-layer coat, there are a few of them with a single coat as well. Although Labradors with single coats are very rare, they do exist in a small recognizable number. Double Coat Vs Single Coat Labradors Comparison Labradors are double-coated dogs with a coarse outer coat and a soft yet thicker undercoat. The double-layer Coat is an asset for Labradors, and not only is it visually appealing, but it also serves many practical purposes. This outer layer has thick, strong, and coarse hair strands , which are also known as Guard Hair. During the heavy shedding season, Labs often shed the outer layer in the form of strands. At the same time, the second part of the Double layer coat in Labradors is the undercoat. This layer is more likely dense, woolly, and soft, unlike what you may observe in many dogs around. The inner layer or undercoat works as an excellent insulator that keeps Lab warm during winters and simultaneously cools during summers. During the heavy shedding season, Labs often shed their undercoat fur in the form of mats and clumps. The water-proof protection also comes in handy during weather conditions like rainfall and snowfall. Labradors are meant for surviving in colder climates, and thus their Double Layer Coat promotes insulation. It keeps the dog warm regardless of how harsh the outdoor conditions are. However, the insulation of coats keeps them protected even from heat, but in case of no grooming and brushing, their Coat can prove as a source of heating. According to the breed standards in the dog shows, individuals participating with Single Coat Labradors must be severely penalized. No breeder produces Single Coat Labradors on purpose since such dogs are regarded as inferior. Single Coat Labradors most likely show their skin under the Coat, the only layer of the Coat. It may appear similar to a human scalp with less hair. Single Coat Labradors have a longer hair growth cycle, and they do not shed very often. Single Coat Labradors are prone to UV damage and skin irritation. How do I know if my Labrador is single or double-coated? If you have got your Labrador Retriever from a reputed and certified breeder, you definitely have a double-layer coat dog. It is extremely rare that a certified breeder will ever breed a single-layer coat Labrador on purpose, given such dogs can find many surviving challenges in the real world. However, even if by any chance you get to grab your hand on a single-layer coat Labrador, you can spot the difference very evidently. Labradors with double-layer coats appear fuller and fluffier due to a denser undercoat. Whereas Labradors with single-layer coats appear weak, and you can easily spot their skin under the Coat. Despite how physically fit they are, these Labs will appear malnourished, like any street dog or abandoned dog. A single Coat means one layer of fur and nothing underneath. Such dogs often need a human-made second coat for insulation during harsh winters. At the same time, dogs with Double coats have a separate undercoat and top Coat, whereas the inner one is made of soft fur and the outer one is made of thick, coarse hair. Given their dense Coat, such dogs are well-suited for mountain regions. Example of Dogs with Single Coat Greyhound. By Tom Massey Dec 09, A photo of shaved pets like a Husky, a Labrador, or Pomeranian may be comical because their long coats can be styled into fluffy shapes, but few things will spark outrage from knowledgeable pet owners like the topic of shaving your pets. The president of the California Professional Pet Groomers Association agrees that these stylistic shaves can be cute and funny. They also believe that shaving stops their frequent shedding. Neither is true. It could also make them uncomfortable. So, the only way to truly curb shedding is frequent grooming. Fur certainly does grow back, but the in-between can greatly irritate your pet. Labradors are notorious for being shaved, and many pet owners will passionately defend their right to shave their labs. However, the fur of any animal is an extension of their skin. It is an essential mechanism of protection from external factors such as the weather. Though Labs shed all year long, their fur will completely blow out twice a year. When Labradors blow their coats, they transition from a thick winter coat to a lighter undercoat meant to keep them cool in the heat. Conversely, in the fall, leading up to the winter, their undercoat blows out once more to make way for a warmer undercoat. The Double Coat Design Like a host of other double-coat dog breeds , Labradors have two layers of fur or hair. The primary, top layer known as a top coat is more wiry and rough or abrasive to the touch. Under this second, softer undercoat, there is a layer of fine hairs that run very close to the skin. The undercoat provides a fantastic summer cooling mechanism and winter insulation. In essence, the undercoat is protection, and when you shave your Lab, you strip them of this vital protection. Each hair follicle is attached to a muscle known as erector pili, which raises and lowers the hair in an ingenious natural ventilation system. Worse still, you could risk pulling back the follicle and opening it up to exposure through shaving. This is a prime gateway for bacteria or fungus to slip inside the skin. Fur grows back, and the soft undercoat becomes more coarse and frizzy and is more uncomfortable for your dog. Both layers are controlled by muscles that move the hair follicles up and down. Using these hair follicles, air moves through the primary and secondary coats. When you shave both layers, the quality of the fur that grows back is not as effective at conveying air in this natural cooling system. Melanin is crucial to protecting the skin from sunburns and the effects of UV rays. In fact, the reverse is true. The only solution to shedding is proper grooming. It reduces the amount of fur your Labrador will shed at home. It also helps to distribute natural oils across his fur, making it shinier and healthier over time. Share on. But their double coats unite them. The Top Coat The first part of a double coat is the top coat. These are the hairs which are most like the coat of single coated dogs. The strands are thick and strong. For this reason, they are sometimes also called guard hairs. The purpose of the top coat is to: Repel water — whether in the rain, or swimming. Deflect things from damaging the skin, such brambles and low hanging branches. Catch dirt and debris before it can work its way into the undercoat or onto the skin, so it stays easy to brush away. The Under Coat The second layer of fur, which sets a double coated dog apart from a single coated one, is the under coat. The under coat, or base layer, of a double coat is dense and woolly. Undercoat hairs are much narrower, but more densely packed. Their purpose is to provide insulation from extreme weather conditions, so the dog can maintain a steady body temperature. Wolves — the wild ancestors of all domestic dog breeds — also have a dense under coat. So double coats are a wild feature, which double coated dogs like Labradors have retained throughout domestication. Many of the double coated dog breeds are working dogs. In particular, a lot of them are herding breeds and guardian breeds, who originally worked for long days on exposed grassland, in all seasons. Their coats protected them from rain and wind in winter, and also intense sunshine in summer. A double coat is also a feature of many retrieving breeds. Like herding dogs, they routinely spend long days outdoors. A thick double coat was especially valuable for waterfowl retrieving breeds, like Labradors. Their undercoat is so dense that they can swim into ice cold water to retrieve fallen game, and their skin will stay warm and dry. Finally, double coats even provide cushioning against some injuries. Working guardian dogs would occasionally have to see off hungry predators with sharp teeth. Retrieving dogs might have to run through tough vegetation like gorse. And the smaller double-coated terrier breeds originally had to race underground to trap or flush out prey. In all these situations, a dog with an undercoat is more padded against injuries than a dog without. Double Coated Dog Grooming Double coated dog breeds are frequently notorious shedders too. Although some, like the Miniature Schnauzer, are notable exceptions. This means that for a week or two, they shed their undercoat very profusely. The purpose is to replace it with an entirely new undercoat, more appropriate to the changing weather. To minimize the amount of shed fur which lands on your floors and furniture, double coated dogs can be brushed regularly. Some owners also use a deshedding tool such as a Furminator to take control of seasonal shedding. It also Helps to disperse oils from the root to the tip, keeping it in tip-top, shiny, waterproof condition. Removes dirt and debris. Improves your chances of spotting ticks buried deep down against the skin, before they can do much harm. It might also seem like a kindness in the height of summer. Some double coated dogs are safe to clip. For example the Miniature Schnauzer. Others should never be clipped. For example Labradors, German Shepherds and Huskies. On the contrary, it insulates their body from the sun, so their core temperature stays pleasantly cool. Do Double Coated Dogs Smell? But, if their coat does get soaked through, it traps moisture for longer. If they swim in open water, that moisture is likely to contain all kinds of algae and microorganisms too. Which can start to get a bit whiffy. So always make sure your Labrador is rinsed off and fully dry after a bath or swim. Brushing their coat will help to distribute natural oils that clear away odors too. This can upset the delicate chemical balance of their skin, causing itching and flaking. It can also make them more vulnerable to fungal and bacterial infections, which smell even worse! Are All Labradors Double Coated? Labradors are famous for having heavy shedding, double coats. According to the breed standard, all Labs should have a thick double coat. They might also need a waterproof coat to protect them from heavy rain, high winds or low temperatures. This article has some of our favorite Labrador apparel! Double coats require moderate amounts of attention and grooming. But, they make up for it by being extra cuddly too! Readers Also Liked. Post by: Mara B. These dogs had black coats, sometimes white crests on their chests, and white feet. Portraits of them look like a cross between a modern Lab and a Border Collie. Like Labradors, the Newfoundland breed had webbed toes, a two-layered, water-repellent coat, and a strong, broad tail that works like a rudder in the water, making it a superb swimmer. The Labrador Retriever has grown to be the most popular dog breed in America. The fishermen found that these dogs had great endurance and strength, so some used them to tow barges. For a while, these trusty fishing dogs waned in popularity in Canada due to a tax imposed on dog owners. Fortunately, British travelers coming to port decided to bring the dogs to England. The breed was refined by English hunters to be better suited for retrieving game and named the Labrador Retriever. Since the 20th century, the Labrador Retriever has grown to be the most popular dog breed in America. Physical Traits of a Labrador Retriever Labs have thick, sturdy bodies, broad heads, and long, otter-like tails that help them to steer themselves in the water. Their webbed toes make for better paddling and keep snow from clumping up between them. They grow to be between 21 and 24 inches at the highest part of their back and may weigh pounds. Labs have an inner coat that is thick and soft to protect their skin from wetness and cold temperatures. Their special double coat makes them waterproof! Labrador Retrievers may be black, chocolate, or yellow, and all colors can appear in a single litter. The nose of the dog will match its coat. Labs usually have brown eyes. The exception to this is that some Chocolate Labs have hazel eyes. The Labrador Retriever Personality Labradors are known for their gentleness, tolerance, and intelligence. Their easy-going nature is what makes them the top choice as American family dogs. They are generally very good with kids and other canines. Of course, being completely adorable probably contributes to their popularity too! As natural hunters, Labs are also known to be active and love exploring. Regular exercise is a great way to let out some of their energy and help them maintain a healthy weight. With lots of playtime and proper training, even high-energy Labs can be calm and obedient. A coat cleaning every once in a while will help it look shinier and healthier. Labs tend to pack on extra pounds quickly if they are sedentary or overfed. Obesity is one of the most common health issues for Labradors, and hypothyroidism and diabetes are also not uncommon for the breed. When a dog becomes overweight, exercise can be tough on their joints and cause them pain. Moderating their treats and making sure to measure the proper amounts of food at mealtime are other ways to keep their weight in check. You can also opt for dog-safe fruits and veggies as an alternative to higher-calorie, processed treats. Labs are also known to develop cataracts and have troubles with their hips, knees, elbows, and shoulders. Annual and wellness exams for these doggies should include check-ups on their eyes and joints. Important wellness procedures can be covered by a dog insurance plan. Start a quote for your best friend. Great Games for Labs Try doing these activities with your Labrador Retriever for fun and exercise rolled into one! Go Fetch! These natural retrievers love to chase after toys and bring them back — in the yard or the water! Balls, rope toys, ring toys, Frisbees, and dummies will all work well for a game of fetch. Take them to the beach, a lake, a pond, or a backyard pool and let them paddle around. Playing a game of fetch or chase in the shallow waters near shore can also be lots of fun. Just to be safe, you may want to investigate purchasing a dog life jacket. Nose work, or scent work, involves hiding objects marked with various scents for your dog to track. The activity can be especially stimulating for Labrador Retrievers because of their natural drive to hunt, but any breed of dog may enjoy it. How to teach your Lab to do nose work: Get scents. Essential oils like anise, birch, and clover are great choices for nose work. You can douse the object with the oil or inject the scent using a special syringe called a scent injector, which you should be able to find at your local sporting goods store, or online. Choose the mark. Dummies work great for essential oils. Get a few and douse each one with a different smell! You can use plush dog toys, pieces of cloth, or strips of leather for scent marking too. It can also be fun to leave a scent trail to the objects. To do this, drag the scent-marked objects along the ground leading up to their hiding place, or squeeze some drops of essential oil on the way to the chosen hiding spot. This is standard in her line. I have attached a few photos below, each more unflattering than the previous and yes, she looks huge in the one at her water bucket, but this was taken two days after the one with the flowers. Anyway: she has a very hard, thick coat, with a very strong wave down the back. I know that not all Labs have the wave, and that it doesn't make her any better or worse than any others. People comment on it a lot—usually along the lines of "does she have poodle in her? She doesn't look all Lab" yeah, whatever , but to me she just has a pretty typical Lab coat. Maybe a little on the thick side. But typical. However, I have a friend who has a Lab rescue who has a very soft coat. It's not really long-haired, but it's certainly longer than my puppy's, and it's very soft. Not all the way to fluffy—but soft. By way of asking and hoping not to offend anyone : are soft-coated Labs common? I'd thought that my friend's dog was a mix, but when I first asked him—years ago—"So, what else is he? I'm really just curious, nothing more. My friend's dog strikes me as having something other than Lab, but I just can't place it. Flat-coated retriever? I wonder if he has some of that in him.I only know what I don't think it is. The dog looks very lab-y in face and body; it's just the coat that seems inconsistent but I admit that I may be wrong about most Labs having hard coats. Last edited by Abulafia; at PM.

We can proudly boast that all of our dogs and puppies come from only the very best and proven bloodlines in the world. Each one of our males and females is health tested, titled, and has at least one parent that has earned a VA1 title Excellent Select, 1st place. The competition for VA is fierce and very few dogs attain this momentous achievement. Our Dogs Titles: So, what does all of this mean and why should it matter to a pet buyer? Working titles focus on the structural soundness and ability to demonstrate trainability and reliability in obedience, but more importantly, temperament is evaluated. Show titles provide a valuable tool for ensuring that the breed standard is followed. This is an in-depth evaluation that records the qualities and shortcomings of the dog. The temperament, conformation, courage, and function are reported. Temperament and character, along with physical and mental soundness play an enormous role in selectively choosing which dogs are breeding prospects. The German Shepherd is an athletic, loyal, self-assured, attentive, and intelligent dog. This applies to both competition dogs and family pets. Purchasing a puppy from titled parents ensures that the dogs being bred have passed vigorous testing and several judges along the way oversaw the process. Following this standard eliminates a biased breeder from breeding indiscriminately and encourages the goal to be producing the best puppies possible. At Centennial German Shepherds, meticulous planning and an abundance of thought go into producing every litter of puppies. Striving for excellence gives breeders credibility and provides the potential buyer with absolute assurance that their puppy is a product of deliberate and quality mating. Capo and our beautiful granddaughter, Shannon The meaning of Our New Kennel Name After working, showing, and breeding German Shepherds for over 25 years, we decided it was time to create a new kennel name and logo to signify our presence in Colorado the Centennial State combined with our Italian and Estonian foundation dogs. Centennial GSD chose to use the head of our gorgeous female Gucci and combine the American and Italian flags across her face to signify our team concept. Additionally, we blended the American and Estonian flags across our impressive male import's face to represent the Margman presence at Centennial. Our puppies are raised inside of our home where we can interact with them from birth until the day they leave with their new families. We assess them, take notes, photos, and videos, and create a detailed log about each puppy so that we can explain their individual characteristics and personalities as clearly as possible to anyone who is inquiring. We evaluate each puppy's growth and development, along with littermate interactions and responses to "daily life" situations on a full-time basis. Once the puppies are mobile, they are introduced to toys and small obstacles which are intended to spark curiosity and promote problem-solving and confidence. We understand that visiting the puppies or looking at photos is difficult, as both are only small snapshots of time in the rapidly changing life of a growing puppy. Visitors might experience the litter just before or after a nap, eating, playing, or any other event or activity that may skew the true personality of the puppy, and relying on a few minutes or even hours to make a decision can be overwhelming. For these reasons, frequent communication with prospective families from birth to placement is crucial. By clearly conveying expectations, we are able to assist in the selection process to ensure happiness and success for both the puppy and the individual families welcoming the youngster into their new home. Centennial GSD works hard at producing the finest German Shepherd Dogs through methodically and meticulously scrutinizing compatible bloodlines and pedigrees to ensure each breeding results in producing the best litter of puppies possible. Combining specific lines or avoiding lines that have genetic faults is important as we always have the betterment of the breed in mind. This is done by carefully choosing a mating pair that compliment one another by enhancing positive qualities and making an effort to reduce any faults known in one or both bloodlines. Our foundation dogs and the dogs we use for breeding trace back to the best Italian, Estonian, and German bloodlines. We seek out dogs with a geographically diverse gene pool while also studying line breeding to keep the integrity of the breed intact. By doing this, we reduce the risks associated with more closely related dogs. Our breeding dogs have certified hips and elbows, have been tested for DM, and are titled; ensuring that they are healthy both physically and mentally. None of the dogs in our breeding program and many generations back have joint or known hereditary issues and all of the dogs possess stable and wonderful temperaments. At Centennial quality over quantity always comes first. We stay in touch with our families after the sale of our German Shepherd puppies, whether it be for help with a question or just a friendly email to check-in. I sold several puppies almost two decades ago both out of state and overseas and have been fortunate enough to form beautiful friendships with many of those people that will last a lifetime. We take pride in our Colorado German Shepherds. Our goal is to produce healthy and beautiful German Shepherd puppies that win in the show ring, excel as working dogs, succeed as therapy or service dogs, and most importantly, flourish as loving family companions and guardians. I traveled to Estonia to pick up my female puppy Briatore Nordica, and while I was there I met another puppy her half-brother named Margman Othello. He was a gorgeous and friendly 7 month old sable youngster. Both puppies shared the same father, the magnificent multiple VA Margman Torsten. I was immediately smitten and consequently brought both back with me to Colorado. I also had the honor and pleasure of hosting Torsten, his owner, and his breeder at my home when they traveled to the United States for the first time after a Sieger Show. A few years later I imported another Margman female black and red who was bred to Torsten. Her puppies were wonderful and she enjoyed a nice life in Colorado. By this time Margman had become a household name and known for quality German Shepherds around the world. We had lovely puppies; a mix of sable and black and red, both long and short coats. It was then that I began my great love for the long haired German Shepherd. Rio was phenomenal in the show ring, he earned his SchH3 title, placed V1, and produced puppies that achieved the same and other working titles. He was a gentleman in the house and had a flawless character which he passed down to his puppies time and time again. His puppies excelled as therapy dogs, service dogs, and as healthy and loving family dogs. Rio was intelligent, possessed a solid temperament, and was stunning to look at. My beloved Rio was by far one of the best dogs I have ever had the privilege of owning and set the bar high for our future dogs. Now, many years later, I have once again imported a Margman dog; an impressive male to show, breed, and enjoy as a perfect companion dog. We look forward to combining the lines again and producing the best puppies possible. Expanding the gene pool while still staying true to the standard is our goal with future litters. Margman Dacapo is magnificent; an absolute dream dog. In we imported our first Margman long coat, a deeply pigmented black and red girl. Margit has bettered the breed by thinking outside of the box. Her sable and black dogs are the absolute best and she has also produced top long coats along with her phenomenal black and red dogs. She has combined strong females with the correct stud dogs to produce some of the best puppies in the world. She is devoted to her dogs and the future of the German Shepherd Dog. Her dedication is obvious, and the result has been and remains to be dogs that possess beauty, working ability, and outstanding character. Her vision is clear, her dedication is steadfast, and he loves the dogs so her goals are always set with the future in mind. Protection plus Love!!!

A Parti Labradoodle in this cause black and white Allergy sufferers, beware. Your Labradoodle may be more than you bargained for come shedding season. Labradoodles are often miscategorized as hypoallergenic dogs because they are a cross between Labrador retrievers and poodles. Labradoodle coat texture depends on the traits they inherit from their parents. There are three types , only two of which are considered hypoallergenic. This rich black coat is a fairly common Labradoodle shade. Straight A straight coat is hair-like and shaggy, more like a labrador than a poodle. That means they also tend to shed nearly as much as a lab, making this a non-hypoallergenic variation. Wavy Wavy coats are more towards the middle of the Labradoodle shed spectrum, with curls that range from soft waves to loose coils. Curly The tight ringlets of a curly Labradoodle are most similar to a poodle coat, so they are the lowest shedding variety. Before bringing out your favorite black sweaters and throw pillows, be aware that a curly Labradoodle coat texture requires weekly grooming. Why is my Labradoodle Shedding? The most apparent reason why your Labradoodle sheds is because of its coat type. How Much Does a Labradoodle Shed? The amount of shedding you can expect also depends on the type of coat and your grooming habits. Straight-coated dogs will shed much more hair than their wavy- or curly-coated cousins, so you can expect to deal with daily dander cleanup. Labradoodles with a curly coat will shed less but require frequent grooming to care for hair trapped in the coils. The allergy-prone should let a pro handle the brushing to avoid activating your itchy eyes and runny nose. Can Labradoodles smile? Which Generations of Labradoodles Shed the Most? Breeders have worked hard to remove the straight coat trait from the Labradoodle gene pool. One of the critical indicators of whether or not a puppy will grow up with scruff similar to labs is their generation. The F1 generation is most likely to end up with a straight coat. From there, Labradoodles cross with other Labradoodles or purebred poodles and labs. Labradoodles crossed with other Labradoodles continue with the F2, F3, and so on generations. That means that breeders who backbreed a Labradoodle with a poodle can increase the chances of a puppy having a curly, hypoallergenic coat. How often does a Labradoodle shed? Owners can expect to see the same amount of fur lying around throughout the year, so if you notice more than usual, it could be a sign that something is wrong. Why is my Labradoodle Shedding so Much? Owners who notice their pal shedding more than usual should investigate the root of the issue. Stress is one common culprit behind your Labradoodles excessive shedding. Like humans, anxiety and discomfort can cause hair loss. Fleas can also cause your Labradoodle to lose their coat. Keeping up with regular treatments will prevent your beloved companion from battling bugs. Start by talking with your veterinarian, who can conduct simple tests to detect allergens in their food or environment. If you wait until their adult coat comes in, it can be a very stressful experience for your dog. Start simply with a few minutes of daily brushing and biweekly nail trims. Make it an enjoyable experience by praising them while you work. When your Labradoodle is around a year old, their adult coats will be well-developed and ready for weekly brushing. You should also take your four-legged friend for trims every few months, especially if they have a curly coat. The tight texture can become unmanageable if you let the hair get too long. Bathing It comes as no surprise that your pal with paws needs a bath after a day spent joyfully and enthusiastically splashing through puddles. Start with a thorough rinse, saturating the hair and removing all apparent signs of grime. Then, grab a high-quality cleanser and start scrubbing. While your fingers are deep in their coat, take the opportunity to feel around for any suspicious lumps. Rinse, then rinse again. Keep rinsing until the water coming off of your pup is completely clear and free of suds. Otherwise, get out a few cotton towels and start fluffing! Last is detangling. Part their fresh, clean coats and get all of the extra hair that would end up on your furniture otherwise. Give yourself plenty of time to get the job done. A Labradoodle dog running in the snow. The pins of a slicker brush are close together, allowing them to get in between the curls and detangle them from each other. Trimming Every months, take your Labradoodle for a haircut. Trimming can take care of both shedding and hair matting, particularly for dogs with tight curls. Are you Prepared to Handle Labradoodle Shedding? No dog is indeed completely shedless, but curly-haired Labradoodles come pretty close. As long as you maintain regular grooming appropriate to their hair type, you can enjoy your darling doggy without too much concern for your allergies or whether you need to change your shirt. My wife and I love playing with our active miniature Labradoodle Max. We want all Oodle puppies to be healthy and happy, have lots of fun and be part of the family. Load More. There are three types of coats that Labradoodles can have. A hair-coated Labradoodle is the least popular among people with allergies owing to the fact that it sheds the most out of the three types. This makes them the least hypoallergenic. The straight coat can vary in length and thickness, so you may have to take your dog to the grooming salon more often than you had anticipated. The muzzle area is usually hair coated and will be a good indicator of their coat type. Fleece or Wavy Coated Labradoodles Fleece-coated Labradoodles are the easiest to maintain compared to the other two types, making them the most preferable. Labradoodles with this type of coat experience minimal shedding, thus helping keep allergies at bay. This coat also requires the least maintenance. The fleece coat comes in three varieties — straight, loose curls, and very curly. However, just because this type of coat sheds the least does not mean you can skip the groomers. Whatever type of coat your Labradoodle may have, a visit to the groomers at least once every six weeks along with regular grooming at home is necessary for maintaining its healthy coat. This rich black coat is a fairly common Labradoodle shade. Labradoodles are a hypoallergenic breed of dog. As they grow, they also begin losing the coats that they are born with. This transition usually starts as early as 6 months of age but can even take until they are 12 months of age. Ideally, you should brush your pup slowly and carefully, reaching down to its skin to ensure that the old puppy coat is coming off. This will help the puppy coat to shed faster, remove any tangles from its fur, prevent matting, and help the adult coat grow healthier. The Labradoodle ranks 1 for being a hypoallergenic dog and specifically bred for it. A hypoallergenic dog poses a significantly lower risk of causing an allergic reaction. This is because dogs that are labeled as hypoallergenic shed little to no fur at all. The first Labradoodle was created for a blind Hawaiian lady whose husband had an allergy to dogs. Since then, the popularity of this breed has grown rapidly. Labradoodles shed less fur, resulting in much less dander, as they have coats that are easy to maintain. As previously stated, the process of a puppy coat shedding varies from pup to pup but typically begins when they are 6 months of age. While Labradoodles are a hypoallergenic breed, it does not mean a Labradoodle pup will never lose its puppy coat. Most furry dog breeds shed in the sense that they lose their fur regularly. This is not the case with Labradoodles. This Apricot Mini Labradoodle is looking up at the camera, because he thinks he might get a treat he did. A Labradoodle puppy does not shed its puppy coat overnight or within a few days. Losing the puppy coat is a gradual process that can take up to a year and a half until the new coat grows. To allow the adult coat to grow properly, the puppy coat needs to be shed entirely. This is also why brushing your Labradoodle puppy is so important. When brushing your pup, you will notice strands of hair falling out at first. Eventually, tufts of puppy hair will come out. The more you brush your dog, the more you will be pulling out the old hair to make way for new growth. If you do notice any signs or symptoms, make sure to visit the vet and take appropriate measures for treatment. How To Manage A Shedding Labradoodle Puppy Coat Once your Labradoodle puppy starts shedding its puppy coat, it is advisable that you brush your dog regularly and at least groom it a couple of times every week or during daily periods of excessive shedding. Different dog breeds shed differently, so if you think something is amiss, you can always consult your vet to get your pup checked out. However, to avoid such dire situations, you need to make sure that you groom and brush your puppy regularly to avoid any matting. Depending on the type of Labradoodle coat your pup will develop, you should ideally be brushing your dog at least once a week to prevent any matting or tangled fur. Comb When you brush the coat, make sure you brush in the opposite direction of the hair growth. This will allow you to remove the old hair better. Then, you can move on to brushing in the direction of hair growth. You can do this with a fine-tooth comb. Ideally, a wooden or stainless steel comb would be a good choice. Make sure you pick a comb with wide teeth on one end and fine on the other. Detangler As your pet grows into a new coat, the old hair can knot up. This is when a detangler is needed. A detangler will help you effectively de-knot the coat without causing any distress to your pet. This tool is designed to help loosen the tangles and mats while being super gentle on your pup. If you keep putting off brushing your pooch, the old puppy coat will not shed but the new coat will start growing in, which will result in matting. A de-matting comb will be your knight in shining armor in such cases. Over-shedding is one example of why your pup may require a full body checkup as complete hair loss is unhealthy. Labradoodle playing in a water fountain. What a way to cool off on a warm day! While some people may be genuinely allergic to certain dog breeds, allergic reactions are typically caused by the dander or allergens present in dog fur. Without any exception, all dog breeds produce allergens that are responsible for allergies. These allergens are usually found in the dander, hair, urine, and saliva of a dog. If your dog is cooped up indoors for too long, it is prone to producing more allergens. This is why it is essential to take your dog out regularly. While there is no fool-proof way of deducing the type of coat your Labradoodle will have, there are still ways you can perhaps make an educated guess. For example, an F1B Labradoodle typically has fleece fur. Tracing genetics will give you a clearer picture of the outcome you can expect. Another way is to inspect the fur around the muzzle and the face of your Labradoodle pup. In the case of a fleece-haired coat, however, you will be able to determine the type of hair it will have by the time your pup is almost five weeks old by checking the fur around its eyes. Why is my Labradoodle shedding? Updated: Feb 9, Our labradoodles are allergy-friendly and don't shed for the main reason that their fur coat is very curly and the straighter it is, the more they would shed. But sometimes they will shed a little bit anyways depending on their fur coat. So don't panic! It is normal if they shed a little bit and here is how to stop the shedding if you notice it: Brush your labradoodle's hair every few days with a fur brush or even just a normal dog brush. The brushing will help brush off the loose fur that is on your labradoodle and lessen the shedding. But make sure it is a good brush, as well as a slicker brush. They're usually not expensive and is super useful for shedding hair! Sometimes, the reason why they might shed is because of poor nutrition. To help your labradoodle with this, Omega 3 and MSM supplements. These two supplements are great for dogs who shed and could be perfect for you and your labradoodle. Omega 3 unsaturated helps with developing a healthier coat and skin, which reduces shedding. MSM methylsulfonylmethane is a supplement that provides collagen and keratin to your labradoodle which helps with hair growth and less shedding! Routinely wash your labradoodle once or twice a month to prevent shedding and to reduce shedding by using a dog-shedding shampoo. This will help wash the loose and dead fur from the rest of its fur. Make sure your dog isn't stressed! Like humans, when stressed their fur might begin to shed as well. Of course, there could be many reasons as to why they may be stressed. It could be missing a close person, an adjustment to the environment, insufficient exercise, etc. The best thing you can do to comfort them is create a routine of eating, walking, playing, etc. Treats and scritches are also important!

Of the various types of Labradoodles, the wool-coated Labradoodle has had the highest success rate for people suffering from asthma or dog-related allergies. They go through a coat change where their puppy coat changes to an adult coat. When this shedding process begins, the coat will begin to fill out and will get thicker. If the puppy is not brushed daily, the coat will become very matted and tangled. The more hair you see coming out in the brush, the better the puppy will look. Other owners use this opportunity as a way to bond with the dog and become familiar with the brushing process, which should become a regular part of their lives. The age at which Labradoodles stop shedding their puppy coat depends on the age it began the shedding process. It can take from a week to several weeks, and every dog does it at a different age. One puppy may be shedding its puppy coat between the ages of months while another may be from months of age. If you suddenly realize your Labradoodle puppy is in need of a good haircut, the pup has probably begun the shedding process. Changing from a puppy coat to an adult coat can bring an entirely different color texture and overall appearance. All dogs create allergens or proteins, which are what usually cause allergies. What are the Different Types of Labradoodle Coats? Labradoodles have three types of coat: hair, fleece, and wool. There are two reasons for this. One reason is that Labradoodles come in many, many different colors. Secondly, while there are only three types of coats, there is some variation within the different coat types. Depending on the length and density of the hair, Labradoodles with a hair coat should be brushed at least once a month. Due to its resemblance to the Labrador Retriever, the hair coat is the one that sheds the most and will be the least hypoallergenic. Fleece The fleece coat may be normal fleece or microfine fleece. Normal fleece has the texture of soft angora and may be wavy or have loose spirals. In addition to being brushed every couple of weeks, this coat requires trimming once or twice a year. Also wavy or spirally, the microfine fleece is very fine and super soft. Because of the texture, it tends to get matted easily. It will need a good brushing or combing at least once a week. The coat should also be trimmed a couple of times a year to prevent it from growing past three inches. Both types of fleece coats are said to be asthma- and allergy-friendly coats. Wool The wool coat comes in three types: original wool, cotton wool, and loose or new style wool. Cotton wool is super dense, may be straight or curly and is the softest of the three wool coats. When groomed, it stands up and often has the appearance of a big cotton ball. Each of these wool types are asthma- and allergy-friendly coats with the original wool having the most success in this area. All three require regular trimming. You can find even more information on Labradoodle coat types in this article. Still have questions about your puppy?

I have used this shampoo quite a few times before I finally started seeing a decrease in the amount of hair we seemed to find in our home and our garage. A good idea before you put your dog in a bath is that you remove all the dead hair you possibly can with a premium-quality brush such as the FURminator. Then you get your dog into the bath and soap him up real good. Then you just let it sit for around 5 minutes, while you try to keep your dog occupied and not zoom around your home.
