We also have partnered up with several other high quality breeders that raise mini goldendoodle pups that meet our strict genetic criteria and testing. So we usually have a good selection of very high quality puppies. View Our Available Puppies! Not all mini Goldendoodles are equal, there are a few different versions to choose from each having a little different genetic background based on the pups parents. We will explain all the differences in Mini Goldendoodle puppies and how they are bred below. We raise all versions of the mini goldendoodle breed. F1 Mini Goldendoodle Pups. A F1 puppy is also known as a First Generation puppy. The puppies mother is a Golden Retriever and the pups dad is a Mini Poodle. This version of mini goldendoodle usually has soft wavy or curly puppy fur. They will shed until they lose their puppy fur, after shedding they will shed a lot less, but will shed. This version is partially hypoallergenic and usually requires low maintenance. F1 mini goldendoodles usually need to be groomed every 6 months along with daily brushing to keep their curly hair from matting and getting tangled. The dogs usually grow up having great temperaments similar to golden retrievers. They usually get about inches high at the shoulder and range in weight from pounds. F1b Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1b is known as a second-generation mini goldendoodle with the pups mother being already an F1 Goldendoodle and the pups dad being a mini poodle also. So the difference between F1 and F1b is that the mom is not a golden retriever but an actual F1 Goldendoodle. They also have very soft curly hair but with almost no shedding. This F1b version is semi-hypoallergenic and a better choice for anyone who has pet allergies. The F1b also should be brushed on a daily basis but will need to be groomed more frequently then a F1. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is recommended to keep their coat in perfect condition. F1b Mini goldendoodles get around 18 to 20 inches tall at the shoulders and range between pounds in weight. F1bb Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1bb goldendoodle is also known as a third-generation mini goldendoodle. This mini goldendoodle version has a coat more similar to a poodle than of a golden retriever. This is because the pup is more of a poodle than a retriever. Making it the very best version for anyone with pet allergies. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is required to help prevent knots or matting. This version is super intelligent and loving, and usually seems to have more energy than the other versions of Mini goldendoodles. This version is usually smaller in size, weighing around pounds and only getting inches tall at the shoulders. The smaller size makes them a great size for smaller homes and apartments. So if you live near Carmel Indiana and are looking for a healthy and beautiful Mini Goldendoodle puppy then checkout our available pups now by Clicking Here. Below are some Mini Goldendoodle Pups that have been adopted! Sept 14, Happy Thursday! Thanks so much for visiting our site! We think that our smaller golden doodles are the perfect family addition!

We want to make this process as much fun as we can! Our deposits are refundable for any reason for up to two years.

Puppy Picks happen on the day that the puppies get to go home. This is so that families can better see the temperaments of the puppies, making it easier for them to choose the right puppy for their family. Some families are looking for a couch potato, some for a more active doodle to run or hike with. We will for sure help you during the picking process, whether in person or with FaceTime. Families can send a refundable deposit to hold their picking spot on a litter, then come on Puppy Pick Day to choose and take their puppy home. We post new photos in the photo gallery every weekend, so check that out! We wait until that day so that the puppies are old enough to be able to see their little personalities. The deposits are fully refundable for up to 2 years. If families would rather wait on a future litter… they will go on the waiting list. Your puppy can then be driven to you or we can meet you somewhere in between. We can also ship your puppy via American Airlines if the temperature is between 20 and 82 degrees, or we can recommend a flight nanny to fly with your puppy in cabin. You can of course remain on the waiting list longer than two years, if you want to keep passing on litters. .Be sure to contact us for our current pricing.

His guardians asked me for help with some puppy basics and an unusual potty training issue. Apollo had a nice playful energy and showed good curiosity when I arrived for the session. When I sat down with his guardians discuss what they want to do accomplish, I noticed that they petted him every time that he jumped up to stand and lean against on their legs. Essentially, you are rewarding the dog for whatever it is doing whenever you provide it with attention or affection. But to the dog, the message was ALL humans will pet you when you jump up on them. Usually I recommend that the guardians give the dog a counter order to sit, then pet it for doing so. Apollo showed good intelligence in how quickly he picked up the sit. Clearly this little puppy was smart and wanted to please. But because his guardians had spent the last two weeks petting him every time that he jumped up on them, he continued to do so. Even though the guardians were now aware that this was conditioning him to jump up on them, they still occasionally reached over and patted him when he did jump up on them. To help with this issue, I showed his guardians how they can redirect the dog when he jumps up on them and place him into a sit using a hand motion. Due to having accidents, his guardians were trying to keep the dog in a bathroom behind a baby gate. So keeping the dog in the sequestered room for extended periods of times should be avoided. I suggested that the guardians bring him out of the gated bathroom after he had done his business. This lessens the likelihood of the dog having an accident in most cases. Before we got into the full potty training portion of the session, I wanted to give his guardians one last tool to help the dog learn to adopt desired actions and behaviors for the rest of his life. I like to call it Petting with a Purpose. As we were wrapping up the discussion of petting Apollo, One of his guardians was holding the puppy in her lap. The puppy was asleep at the time that the guardian on the couch noticed that his anus seem to be expanding slightly. The guardian was paying attention to this area because the dog pooped in his sleep on multiple occasions. This occurred while he was lying on a blanket as well as if he was in the lap or arms of one of his guardians. This is a very unusual behavior for a dog to engage in. Typically a dog will get up and move away from where it sleeps or is residing when it wants to defecate. The fact that the puppy did this without waking up or showing any signs of being aware of the situation leads me to believe that some fecal incontinence was going on. Sometimes puppies will develop fecal incontinence as a result of a poorly done tail docking or a botched spaying or neutering procedure. After the session, I spoke with a few vets that I consult with and they suggested that the vet prescribe the dog a round of Metronidazole which should kill any unwanted bacteria and provide an anti-inflammatory agent. If this drug does not alleviate the problem, it may be indicative of a physical issue that is causing his sphincter to loosen while in his sleep. But when dealing with unwanted behaviors, a good rule of thumb is to rule out physical or health issues first. Potty training a puppy can be one of the more stressful things for a new dog guardian to deal with. If you adopt a dog from a reputable breeder generally the pup will usually have mastered some of the potty training basics via its mother and siblings. Additionally the breeder did not give them an opportunity to see the area that Apollo was raised in. I spent the next few minutes going over the basics of potty training. The times that a a pup is most likely to need to eliminate; after eating, after heavy playtime and after waking up. I suggested that after anyone of these three things occurred that they take the puppy into the bathroom and sit inside it with him. Also when a dog gets up and races away from its sitting or laying down position, that can sometimes mean the dog needs to poop. So if the dog come up and starts jumping up, wandering in circles in front of them or barking, its a good idea to take the dog to the designated area. I usually like to give a puppy five minutes to do their business before I move on. Many people mistakenly think that if they leave their dog in the designated potty area for a lengthy period of time often hours that the dog will do its business. Then they are surprised and frustrated when they see the dog eliminate immediately after bringing it inside. What it comes to puppies, distraction is everywhere. When a dog is crate trained, I usually suggest placing the dog inside of the kennel and waiting 15 to 45 minutes before letting the puppy back out to the eliminate area to give them a chance to do their business again. The last time I potty trained a puppy mill dog, I found that I had the greatest success by taking the dog outside once an hour to go potty, then rewarding him richly when he did. By repeatedly returning to the area that the puppy pads are located in, we increase the odds of the dog eliminating in the right place. I also suggested that they leave one lump of fresh Apollo poop on the puppy pad in the bathroom. Sometimes leaving this visual and olfactory reminder in the designated location can help remind a dog of the need to eliminate. Another important factor when it comes to potty training is assigning the word with the act. Most of my clients mistakenly talk to their dog as if it speaks English. I repeat the command word in a calm tone and pace of speaking with a one second pause in between each iteration, making an effort to articulate the word consistently each time. Adding baby talk inflection, too loud a delivery or excitement to your voice can lead the dog to become confused. They had spread them all over the floor in the bathroom in the hopes that the quantity of puppy pads would increase the chances of the dog using them. The method that I prefer is to build a box that is large enough to encase the puppy pad with a little extra area on one side that is only large enough for the dog to sit or lie down in. This way the dog has no choice but to potty on the pad as there are no other options. The box should not have a roof, just walls that prevent the puppy from escaping. I make sure that I am nearby and observing the dog during this time so that I can immediately start repeating the command word as soon as I notice the dog starting to eliminate. To counter this problem I came up with a novel solution; I cheat. Generally speaking, most dogs pass water that they drink within about 45 minutes. If they let the dog food sit in the hot water for minutes before they give it to the dog, the kernels will soak up some of the water. Additionally the dog will find it difficult to eat the food until he drinks the water first. Usually i add an ounce or two of additional warm water right before i give it to the puppy. I usually put the dog into the designated potty area immediately after a meal as outlined in one of the three situations that a dog is most likely to eliminate. I have found that if you can repeat the command word while the dog eliminates every time it goes for about a week, you generally have the problem in hand. One final piece of advice that I offered the guardians was to start charting when they feed the dog as well as when the dog eliminated solid waste. Dogs generally have a fairly consistent digestive process. If his guardians start feeding him on a regular basis and chart when he makes a solid elimination, they will quickly identify the times when the dog is most likely to need to poop. Once this window of time is identified, then they can either place the dog in the designated elimination area or inside of the box at the appropriate time. If it is indeed a physical condition, then his guardians will need to work with their current vet or find a specialist to address the problem. By the end of the session, I was quite pleased to see that Apollo was starting to sit in front of his guardians for attention rather than jumping up on them. His energy level seemed a bit lower and more in control as well. I was also happy to see the reaction from his guardians as they witnessed him learning how to sit and come on command. Apollo really has a beautiful energy and is going to make a great dog if his guardians implement the proper rules, boundaries, structure and discipline at this stage in his life. With some time, love, patience and vigilance, Apollo should quickly pick up what his guardians want out of him. You want to find a food that has no corn, soy, or wheat in it. Also, avoid by-products. By products can be anything including beaks, feet,etc. Look for meals ie chicken meal, fish meal, etc. Canidae is what I feed and my dogs do well. Innova is also a very good food. Also, don't get anything with animal digest in it.You want to find a large breed puppy formula because you don't want him to grow too fast too much protein like agilitydog said Meat as the first ingredient is better than anything with corn as the first ingredient imo. I feed Fromm, but it is more expensive, and not really readily available to most people. Royal Canin is expensive and also not of good quality. Having just looked at the ingredient list of the French Bulldog version, it has rice and wheat as the first two ingredients - they are just fillers. It's got animal fat in it - no mention of what that animal is. For a dog that is prone to skin problems it is not good. A good quality food has the named meat source at the top of the list of ingredients and is clearly labelled - no ambiguity. The purchaser should know exactly what it contains. There are a lot of useful videos on this topic on Youtube, I will leave here one of them, as many often have similar questions. Good Luck. A full-grown male English Bulldog weighs about 50 to 55 pounds and stands 14 to 16 inches tall. A full-grown female English Bulldog weighs about ten pounds less at 40 to 44 pounds and stands at 12 to 14 inches tall. According to Care. This will be around inches tall for a male English Bulldog and approximately inches tall for a female English Bulldog. As for weight, a 6-month-old male English Bulldog will weigh about 33 to 37 pounds, while a 6-month-old female English Bulldog will weigh around 26 to 33 pounds.

If your English Bulldog is over two years old, they are probably fully grown. Any additional weight they put on may be excess and should be discussed with your veterinarian. Do their paws look big next to the rest of their body? They may still have room to grow as this is a classic puppy feature! A dog rarely grows to be larger than their parents, so this will provide you with a general idea of their final adult size. What is the size of a full-grown English Bulldog? According to the Bulldog Club of America Bulldog Standards , an English Bulldog should appear stocky but symmetrical with no excessively prominent features. English Bulldogs are especially prone to gaining extra weight and may exceed these weight estimates. Your veterinarian will be happy to discuss food type, quantity, frequency of feedings, and treats to get your English Bulldog back to their ideal weight. English Bulldogs may require extra attention due to some genetic health problems that are common for the breed. For example, English Bulldogs will require regular at-home baths, this cleaning is specifically to prevent infections under their skin folds. English Bulldogs are also highly prone to putting on excess weight, which is detrimental to their health. The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention estimates that .The English Bulldog is one of the most severely affected dog breeds and brachycephalic syndrome can lead to difficulty breathing, respiratory distress, heatstroke, and difficulty exercising due to their breathing restrictions. All of this can make weight loss even more difficult for the English Bulldog breed. Because your English Bulldog may have a harder time breathing than other dogs, your vet can recommend safe ways to allow them to exercise and enjoy life without getting overheated. If your pup has a particularly bad case and has difficulty breathing even when not exercising, you can talk to your veterinarian about surgery for Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome which is a common procedure done to help English Bulldogs and other brachycephalic dog breeds, like pugs, breath more easily. Taking your English Bulldog to regular veterinary appointments to keep them healthy and happy is one of the best things you can do for them! Not only can your veterinarian provide personalized advice to keep your pup healthy, but they can screen for common English Bulldog health problems, like skin infections, hip and knee problems. Unfortunately, veterinary care can be pricey. Veterinarian treatments for health issues, like hip and knee problems, can easily cost thousands of dollars. Treating medical issues, like accidents or sudden illnesses, can be expensive, but this should never be the deciding factor in treating your English Bulldog. Final Considerations As pet parents, we do our part by providing quality food, exercise, and care at home, but we also need to take our dogs in for regular veterinary appointments. A professional can provide you with personalized recommendations for your dog, as well as testing to detect any health issues early on. Prevention and early detection are vital in keeping our dogs healthy and happy! English Bulldog puppies grow into silly, lovable, and wrinkly dogs with a lot of personality.

I think he's about 7 years old, but I'm not sure. Jordan is a very special dog. Like a lot of dogs, Jordan was rescued from a very bad situation. He was extremely emaciated, he had no hair, covered in parasites, and extremely afraid of everything. He could barely walk when I got him. I have owned him for about 7 months now, and he has all his hair back too much, actually , has gained a lot of weight, is MUCH happier, but most importantly he is no longer afraid of people. With spending a ton of time with his socialization , training , and guidance , he is now a well-balanced dog. I don't exactly know what happened to him before me, but it doesn't matter anymore, anyway. Jordan did have all sorts of bad behaviors at first due to his neglect which included: excessive barking, digging, pulling, jumping, etc. Typical "bad dog" behavior. But with all the walks and adventures we go on he is not only well-balanced, but truly happy. I am his "Guardian Angel. He gives hugs and kisses. He is my suction-cup when we are outside together; he has to be by me always. I love it! He is happiest when the whole family is out in the backyard playing together. He is very much a part of our family, even stays inside now, after some time housetraining. He was never aggressive toward anything or anyone. He loves his "girlfriend"! My other Boxer Baby Girl who also is a rescue. She was rescued at 2 years old and is now a whopping 8 years old. A few months after losing another rescue of mine I was really considering adopting another dog because I needed some form of protection living in a rough neighborhood. One day, while I was sitting in my living room my neighbor knocked on my door, "Hey, there's a Boxer outside running around crazy, and the owner doesn't want it. OK, I will take a look! I saw that happy face and that wiggly butt, I was in love! I said yes! Little did I know what I was getting myself into. This dog was an absolute nightmare, lol! At first she barged out of every door, broke every collar, leash, chain, tie-out cable we bought! She was horrified of so many things. She had separation anxiety really bad, so bad she made herself bleed to get out. After a very long and bumpy road we finally accomplished what I dreamed: "the perfect dog. She is so well-behaved and excellent mannered. She even stops on a dime if I tell her to. She is my everything! I have taught her a lot, but not as much as she has taught me. She taught me patience, understanding, love, devotion, and so much more. She has won the hearts of everyone she has met AND has even made a dog lover out of the people who were "scared" of dogs or "hated" dogs. I take her everywhere with me. She loves her bath time, especially playing "torro" with the towel during drying time! She hugs me, and she gives me the gentlest kisses. She has no aggression toward anything or anyone, she loves everything! This dog is my entire world. She always rests her head on my lap and gives me those soulful puppy dog eyes. Unlike any other dogs I've ever had she and I communicate mentally or something. She and I just know what each other want. Before I got her she had never been out other than a quick potty break on a 4-foot lead. She also had been through a lot of owners. She's great inside now, though! With all that work she's perfect inside! I can leave a whole plate of food on the floor for hours while I'm not in the room and she won't touch it. No accidents, never chewed on anything, very quiet. She's my angel. Her favorite activity would be eating. She's loves food. This is a dog who has taught me to be strong, all good things are worth fighting for, never give up, and you never get the dog you want, always the dog you need. I cannot say I follow his methods, because I have been training my dogs this same way before I ever heard of him. I also train therapy dogs, and guide dogs. Not certified, or anything. I rescue dogs and train them to help those who don't want to go through the certified Therapy Dog Associations for such reasons as waiting lists. I thank god for Cesar, though, because he is one of the few proving that Pit Bulls can be rehabilitated, and showing the world everything they need to know to save their dog's life. My love for Baby Girl made me fall in love with Boxers period, which led me into rescuing another Boxer, so I guess in a way she's saved two lives. Just like me. She's been through a lot, and has come very far. Most important thing she didn't give up on me, either. So, this photo is a dedication to Baby Girl so the entire world can hear Baby Girl's message of never giving up on your dog, because they will never give up on you. Thank you for the strength, you have given me Baby Girl, and I hope together we can save lives: the lives of dogs. She's a Boxer in every sense of the word.

On one of the first warm days of the spring season Bruno the Boxer enjoys sitting outside in the sun. Later Bruno decides it's time to also warm up his underside. His father is a very tall, confident male and his mother is a very gentle and attentive female. Ramsey is very attached to his family and whines at the window when my husband goes to work or when my daughter gets on the school bus. He is also very gentle to my year-old daughter. He often falls asleep with the children on the rug in the family room. He needs to be out! He loves to play fetch and leaps over fallen trees in the woods. He walks 3x a week and plays with the kids or ball for the remaining week days. Ramsey loves people and children. He becomes excited when extended family members visit and sits in their lap so that they won't leave. We love him very much. He also doesn't realize that he's 70 pounds of pure muscle and tries to be a lap dog like a Yorkie! Sadie loves this football; she plays tug-o-war with it.

This ensures that you get a puppy that is healthy, beautiful, and has a great temperament. It is very convenient being close to Portland, Oregon because it makes for a nice day trip for our adoptive families in the Portland area to visit their puppy regularly as it grows. Since My son and Daughter In Law work at home we are able to spend time both indoors and outdoors with all of the animals. However, French Bulldogs are more suited for indoor living as opposed to outdoors. We do like to bring them out when the weather is moderate. At Frenchie Kisses Kennel we keep a close watch on the dogs as we wander about and if they seem a bit tired we simply return them to our air conditioned or heated in the winter home. Luckily the weather here in Washington State does not have horrible extremes so air conditioning and a good wood stove keeps their life very comfortable. French Bulldogs overheat easily because of their overly large chest and compacted air way, along with their insistence on being active. Their bulk and being Brachycephalic makes it impossible for them to regulate their temperature efficiently. In addition, Frenchies are top heavy and therefore have a difficult time swimming. We are very cautious when exercising them during hot or humid weather, and at times must insist they take a break. Though they tend to love the water, they must not be left alone in water as they may not be able to get out after exhausting themselves trying to swim. French Bulldogs are known as non swimmers. That's not to say that they are dogs of little brain. It's more like their "can do," can't keep up with their "want to. We love that the dogs want to be with us, very close by when we are walking around on the property. Washington is Cougar country and we would not want them to wander far so we do keep a close watch on them when we have them out. They all tend to get along with the cats and we are working hard to convince them that all animals are our friends. Since the Frenchies are so rambunctious it is hard to convince all of our pets that they are sweet, friendly dogs. I have my mind set that all my pets are going to get along and I am hoping that my will is stronger than a Bulldog! The puppies are exposed to the cats at a young age to instill a respect for other animals. Our cats are everywhere we now have five the puppies can have access to.

We now have three Chickens that wander the property during the day. We hope to also use them to condition the puppies to being comfortable with birds. This makes for very sweet gentle puppies as they mature. We are also able to care for them individually if they become sick and give them excellent medical attention.

We adopted him at 9 weeks old from a responsible breeder who wanted the loyalty, intelligence, and looks of these two great breeds! She did a wonderful job with our Sheeno! He is very smart and very loyal. He loves affection and never leaves my side. He has a very mild temperament and is great with children. At the age of 7 he still loves to romp and play like a puppy, but once inside he's a complete couch potato! It is a cross between the Shetland Sheepdog and the German Shepherd. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. She weighs about 60 lbs. She is the friendliest dog I ever met and loves everyone; she is great with young children and even newborns. She never growls and only barks at squirrels or other animals that are around when she is in the backyard, she never bites. She loves to play with other dogs and is very good with cats. She is pretty hyper and needs to run around a lot, but once she gets out her energy she is calm and just wants to sit or lie down next to you and be petted. She is super smart and learned all her commands and even some tricks within the first months I had her; she learnt her name the same day I got her. She loves winter and playing in the snow. These intelligent dogs love playing as much as they work, but can also help if you have a need for herding! The beautiful hybrids are known for being friendly towards both people and dogs alike making it easy to go around town while still offering protection when necessary. German Shepherd Sheltie Mix is known for their unafraid personality and inquisitive nature, but it can also be a little bit more sensitive than other breeds. They need attention like any pup in order to feel happy. The German Shepherd Sheltie Mix is a great family dog. Socializing your breed is a good idea; it will make for an enjoyable relationship in the future. Make sure that you always use positive reinforcement and enjoy being with them while they are still young. They were bred to work with sheep, but have been known for their ability in other types of animal husbandry as well such as cattle or horses if needed so. These adorable charming hybrids come in many more variations than you might expect — so much variety. Their muzzle length varies depending on the desired look: long Mops preferred for show purposes typically possess droopy jowls while working dogs may sport tighter jaws. Average life span or age is calculated from 14 years. This breed can be social and loves playing with other pets or children but should always have supervision since they are so intelligent. Be patient when training them as not all will learn easily though some may need more time than others — just wait till you see how fast these dogs learn once again. German Shepherd Sheltie Mix are active and adventurous, but a regular amount of exercise is one of their regular routines. They are happiest with owners who provide plenty of room for playtime in addition to daily walks or runs around the block. These pups thrive when you take them on adventures that both excite their mind obedience competitions! The German Shepherd Sheltie Mix may be one breed athlete who excels at all three: having gained popularity largely thanks to its versatility — it can easily adjust from city living where he needs just enough activity per day without being too overworked; into country territory requiring more. Keep your energetic dog busy with long-distance walks and hiking to keep him from becoming destructive. This mix of exercise will help you avoid tiring out quickly, which can be bad for both his health as well as yours. A tired dog is always better behaved compared to one who has been running around nonstop. The Sheltie requires a bath barely once in a while. They have an eagerness to please their owners, making them a great candidate for obedience training courses or canine sports such as agility where they can excel in competitions against other dogs with no qualms about barking when they feel happy enough. A well-fenced yard with regular walks around town makes up part of our expected routine life. This is the type of dog that will want to take control. They are intelligent and need someone with firm leadership skills, but can be trained if you break up training sessions into shorter ones daily or each day for half an hour at a time so their attention span stays higher than theirs. If handled correctly, German Shepherd Sheltie Mix should get along just fine in terms of prey drive too since they love chasing small game like rabbits while outdoors running around chasing bugs…but make sure not let them go outside without supervision first because some might have more intense instincts when it comes down to protecting themselves from threats. To make sure your dog has the best chance for success, take her to as many different places and meet new humans. Take them out on walks with you or let other dogs jump around at doggy daycare. They are intelligent, curious, and enthusiastic about life which makes them perfect for a family that wants an active pet with a personality. Though tests for many genetic disorders exist, breeders should still conduct a minimum health test on their breeding stock. Some of these dogs love to play as much or more than they do go to the office. Post navigation. If a Shetland Sheepdog Mix takes after their Sheltie parent, they will be a small, fluffy dog with a charming, affectionate personality. These dogs tend to be energetic, playful, and a good addition to a family. Shelties tend to be loving, affectionate, and intelligent dogs that get along well with children, other pets, and other dogs. They tend to alert bark and are initially reserved towards strangers, but tend to warm up once introduced as long as they have been properly socialized. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect the same from a Sheltie Mix. You can also meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like and the behavior she is modeling for her puppies. The breeder should have started some socialization and training, but it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home. The Shetland Sheepdog is a highly adaptable dog breed that can do well in homes with fenced yards as well as apartments. They are sensitive to heat and extreme cold, but do well in most moderate climates. Because they thrive on attention from their families and get bored easily, they do not like to spend long periods of time alone. If the other parent breed is also highly adaptable, then you should be able to expect the same from a Shetland Sheepdog Mix. The other parent breed will introduce their own potential quirks, so you do want to talk to the breeder about them. Are mixed-breed dogs healthier than purebred dogs? Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies, so make sure you are asking about the health and genetic history of both parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. Shelties are intelligent and sensitive dogs that pick up on things quickly and are eager to please. They tend to be a good fit for owners of all experience levels. If the other dog breed is also highly trainable, then you can expect the same from a Sheltie Mix. Not only do they reinforce training, but they also offer opportunities to socialize your Sheltie Mix with other dogs, other people, and new situations. A Sheltie Mix can inherit a coat similar to one of their parent breeds or a coat that is truly a mix of both. If they take after their Sheltie parent, their coat will shed year-round and shed heavier during seasonal shifts. Daily brushing and the occasional bath are recommended to keep a Sheltie coat healthy. Cutting nails once or twice a month keeps them from growing too long. Weekly ear checks and careful cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. Daily tooth brushing plus cleanings at the vet when needed is a good start for dental care. Shetland Sheepdogs are energetic and playful, but they are not high-energy dogs. They tend to sit in a more moderate range and daily walks plus playtime and time to run are usually enough for them. They are athletic dogs that enjoy being active with you, so they will likely be up for more if you are. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect a Sheltie Mix to sit in a moderate activity range as well. If the other parent is a high-energy breed, then you will need to be prepared for the potential of a high-energy dog. Fully-grown Shelties usually stand inches tall at the shoulder and weigh pounds. The other parent breed can have a big effect on this, especially if they are the mother, so you need to talk to the breeder about them. Shelties generally live for years on average. The other parent breed may affect this slightly, but you should be able to expect a similar average life span from a Sheltie Mix. Sheltie Mix Puppies for Sale.

We tried to take as many pictures as possible so we could have a journal of our Golden Retriever puppy growth week by week. When raising guide and service dog puppies we usually bring home our puppies at around weeks old. On occasion we are allowed to see puppies before 8 weeks of age, but they need to stay with their mother and siblings during those important early weeks to get milk and antibodies from mama and learn how to interact properly with siblings, learning important behaviors like bite inhibition. During our days as a foster we raised two litters of puppies , but both were already weeks old by the time we got them home. We actually own the Puppy Culture DVD and Workbook which includes charts, lists, worksheets and other great information for raising your litter. Keep your eyes and ears open and absorb it all like a sponge! Birth To 1 Week Old Guess what? This was the first litter we ever whelped!? We got a lot of advise, but we were largely on our own. Large Puppy Dish — great for feeding the puppies when they moved to solid food. Whelping Mats — we ordered 2 of these mats and washed them several times a day. Whelping Box — We have a homemade whelping box built by my father-in-law, but if we continue raising litters I plan on purchasing an EZWhelp Whelping Box. Our homemade box lasted three litters. We ended up purchasing the Magnabox which was hellu expensive but if you plan on raising multiple litters we highly recommend it. We recently put together a whelping checklist with all the supplies we gathered together to help out with our second litter of Golden Retriever puppies. Check out our whelping supplies checklist here. However, none were overly huge and none were extra small. No runts and no beasts. It was my understanding that when the cord was chewed down to the base of the belly it was sometimes difficult to get it to stop bleeding. I took the hemostat and pinched the umbilical cord about 2 inches from the base of the pups belly then cut the cord rather than let Raven chew it off. I kept the hemostat on the cord for about 2 minutes to let it clout. The umbilical cord dries up quickly and then within a day or 2 it falls off. Raven was a good mama and took care of her poops. Puppy eyes and ears are closed at this stage and puppies army crawl around the whelping box looking for a teat to suckle. We did everything we could to make sure our pups stayed warm by adding a watt heat lamp to the whelping box and portable heating unit in the puppy room. As I mentioned Raven stayed in the whelping box most of week 1 and of course… the puppy piles! One thing I learned is if I had a puppy on my lap then do not let Raven lick those areas or be prepared for a little accident on your lap. While caring for Raven and her litter Raven was really blowing out her coat that first week, but as time went on it slowed down. I heard from other friends this is common and that Raven blew out her coat much less than other mama dogs. We got Probiotics for Raven before her first litter, but forgot to order them for her second litter. After an upset stomach for the first week or so we realized our mistake, got Probiotics, and no more upset tummy. Week 2 — Pups eyes are opening starting to waddle. Week 3 — First bark! Week 7 — The great puppy escape artists! Week 8 — Our golden puppies head to their new homes. Have you ever had a litter of Golden Retriever puppies?

At this stage, nipping bad behaviors in the bud is more important than imprinting positive ones. Instead, just redirect them to positive behavior and reward them accordingly. By this point, your puppy should have already been given their distemper and parvovirus vaccinations. By this point, they should be fully housetrained or close to it. Your dog will be likely to gnaw and bite on anything they can get their chompers on—including you. Stay calm and redirect their attention to appropriate objects like chew toys. Your Golden should be fully accustomed to their new kibble at this point, and you should feed them three to four times per day. A 3-month-old dog should also get a DHHP booster, which protects them from parvo, distemper, parainfluenza, and adenovirus. You can play with your pup as much as you like, but take care not to put too much stress on their joints. Avoid a bunch of running and jumping, especially on hard surfaces. Your dog can transition from four meals per day down to three at this point, but the meals should probably be larger. This can cause digestive issues until your dog gets accustomed to it, so be prepared to clean up a few messes. Training should continue, although your primary focus will likely be convincing your pup to chew on something besides your shoes. Your dog will need another DHPP booster at this point, as well as a rabies vaccination. Other optional vaccines include Bordetella, Lyme disease, coronavirus, and leptospirosis. This could cause a brief burst of intense biting and chewing, so power through it. Make sure your pup has plenty of chew toys available to them. Stairs in particular should be avoided. Your pup is likely to start asserting itself at this stage and may start to mature sexually if not spayed or neutered. There are no vaccinations required at this point. Everyone knows how much fun it is to raise teenagers, right? This can lead to undesirable behaviors like aggressiveness, increased tendency to roam, and destructiveness. As a result, you may think that your dog is too skinny, but resist the urge to increase their rations. While most breeds have a puppy coat that they eventually grow out of, Goldens do not. Instead, their puppy coat becomes their undercoat, so you may notice your dog becoming increasingly fuzzy. The teenage rebelliousness should be wearing off by this point, and your dog is ready to begin training in earnest. You should still be feeding them twice daily, and they should stay on puppy kibble for at least another 6 months. Goldens reach their full height between 9 and 12 months old. Females tend to get there faster, but males will be taller in the end. You may also need to cut back on the amount that you feed them. It depends on the individual dog, but females generally reach maturity first. Spaying or neutering your dog has its pros and cons. The pros are fairly obvious: less marking, reduced misbehavior, and zero chance of getting an unexpected litter of puppies. Spaying and neutering can also protect against certain cancers. You may want to wait until your dog is at least 12 months old before getting them fixed. This also leaves the window open longer in which they can suffer skeletal damage, though, so be careful about how active you allow them to be. However, stunted growth and growing too quickly can cause serious health problems, so you should check with your vet to make sure your dog is growing on schedule. Stunted growth is usually caused by malnourishment or a medical problem. You should have your pup tested for parasites like hookworm or ringworm, and consider switching them to a higher-quality, calorie-dense food. If left untreated, malnourishment can lead to weak bones, muscles, and immune system. As you might expect, growing too quickly is often caused by feeding your dog too much. American and British Goldens are similar. However, American Goldens tend to be less stocky and muscular, instead having a leaner appearance. They may weigh a bit less as well. They tend to be taller as well, often standing an inch or two higher than their counterparts. Conclusion Golden Retrievers make excellent pets, and we understand how hard it is to resist the temptation to bring a puppy home. If you do, though, you should understand what to expect from your new dog. Steady growth is what you want to see, without too many peaks or valleys. This sets your dog up for a long, healthy lifespan. Every dog develops at their own pace, so as long as you feed your pup an appropriate amount of high-quality puppy kibble and get them vaccinated regularly, you should be fine. See also:.

Do Rottweiler Lab mixes have health concerns? Labrador Retrievers got their start when they were imported from Newfoundland to England in the s. They were hunting and fishing dogs. Rottweilers are of German descent. They have been traditionally used as guarding, herding, and hunting dogs. The Rottweiler Lab mix was perhaps inevitable with two such high demand parents. One of the best things about crossed breeds is the wide range of potential shapes and personalities your dog could grow to have. But this can have its downside as well. In the case of the Labrottie, there are several different possibilities for both appearance and personality. Labradors and Rottweilers are different sizes, and your puppy may fall anywhere between. Rottweilers generally weigh up to pounds, while Labradors are significantly less heavy set at pounds. Rottweiler height can be up to 27 inches at the shoulder, whereas Labs only grow to a maximum of .Both breeds can vary in size within themselves, so it stands to reason that larger Labrador and Rottweiler parents will have a larger Labrottie pup. Most, however, should fall somewhere in the middle. Labrador Rottweiler Mix Coat Rottweilers are well known for their classic black and tan coloring. They have short, low-maintenance coats. Labs come in different colors. Yellow, chocolate, black — they could pass down their coloring to your Labrottie puppy, resulting in a unique coloration. All you can bank on is the range from both parents. Labrador Rottweiler Mix Shedding Labradors have a double coat that protects them from the cold in winter or while swimming in cold water. This is especially true during certain times of the year, as their winter coat starts to come loose. The Labrottie has the benefit of two parent breeds with generally low-maintenance coats. Both Labradors and Rottweilers have short, easily groomed coats. Rottweiler Lab mix pups will definitely have the same length coat. Then they may need a little more. Rottweiler Lab Mix Temperament Labradors have a proud history as faithful retriever dogs, whereas Rottweilers have an equally proud history as guard dogs. Labradors are generally friendly, and are bred specifically for the task of returning hunted game to their owners. A dog bred for this purpose needed to be comfortable around all sorts of people. Rottweilers, in their guarding capacity, have been bred in a way that a fearful and distrusting attitude toward strangers. But how does this combination affect your pup? Labrottie Personality First generation mixes are kind of like rolling a dice. Or you might end up with a protective guard dog that looks exactly like the Labrador. Rottie Lab Mix Aggression As a breed, Rottweilers are responsible for a disproportionate amount of dog attacks. They certainly appear to be among the more aggression-prone breeds. This should be seriously considered by people with kids. Guarding dogs are generally good with their families, but families have friends. Kids bring over other kids, and a family pet needs to be accepting of this. One is by meeting the Rottie parent and making sure they are totally at ease in the presence of you and your family. Socialization is vital for any breed, but especially for a breed like the Rottweiler. Rottweiler Lab Mix Socialization The idea of using traditional training techniques on your Rottweiler mix may be a daunting task for some owners. Fortunately, nowadays we have better and safer methods for training dogs. The first step is always socialization. Introduce your dog to lots of other dogs and people at a very young age to help desensitize them to strangers. You want them to happily accept people coming and going in their home as nothing to be afraid of. Your Rottweiler Lab mix puppy must meet new visitors every day. Make sure a large proportion of them are children. In the wild they would be under the protection of their family, so fear would be unnecessary. Therefore, this is the best time to throw them into all sorts of new situations. Training And Exercising Your Rottweiler Lab Mix Positive training techniques also play a vital role in crafting the obedience and temperament of a dog. For anyone still considering punishment-based training, I would strongly advise against it. Studies have shown that dogs trained in this manner are less obedient, and more likely to attack both their owners and strangers. Rottweiler Lab Puppy Training Like any puppy, your Rottador will require specialized training when they are young, in addition to socialization. Rottweiler Lab Mix Exercise All dogs require a good amount of exercise to keep them in shape. This is especially true with physically capable breeds like the Rottweiler and Lab. Given a good amount of space to run around in, your Labrottie will thrive. Lack of exercise combined with poor diet can unfortunately be deadly. Obesity in dogs, as in humans, leads to diabetes and other complications. Breeding two dogs that are genetically dissimilar results in a phenomena called hybrid vigor, whereby outbreeding undoes a lot of the harm done by inbreeding. These dogs can still carry on genetic diseases from either of their parents given the right circumstances. Labrador Health Both Labradors and Rottweilers suffer regularly from hip dysplasia, meaning their hips are improperly formed. One nasty complication of hip dysplasia is a disease called degenerative joint disorder. One of the more commonly reported concerns in Labradors is exercise induced collapse. This strange condition means that Labradors in the full swing of physical activity may suddenly be unable to hold themselves up. It has actually been linked to a gene, so it is doubtless inherited from dog to dog. Other problems commonly seen in Labradors include elbow dysplasia, PRA, obesity, ear problems, and skin allergies. Hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as PRA, can be tested for. Health testing is an important part of the process of taking care of our pets. Rottweiler Health Elbow dysplasia is also a very common condition in Rottweilers. A study of German Rottweilers found more than half suffered from this ailment. Rottweilers also appear to be susceptible to a few nasty neurological disorders, namely nueroaxonal dystrophy and leukoencephalomalacia. Both of these diseases are degenerative, meaning they gradually get worse and worse. Unfortunately there is no cure or treatment for either, and they sadly can be fatal. For more information on health tests and screens that should be done for Rottweilers, visit the British Veterinary Association and this panel from UC Davis Veterinary Medicine. Although he is potentially less likely to suffer from any of these diseases than a purebred dog, the risk is not removed. Health testing is still a vital part of good breeding practice, even for mixes. Rottweilers have a shorter span of years. Your Rottweiler and Labrador mix could fall anywhere in that range, depending on the health of the dog. What makes a pet good depends on the person, and also the individual pet. Your Lab Rott mix could look like a Labrador, but with the guarding instincts and characteristic wariness of the Rottweiler. Equally, your dog could look much more Rottweiler-ish and have the gentle, easily trainable personality of a Labrador. The likelihood is it will be somewhere in between. Socialization and training go a long way to producing a happy and friendly dog. But genetics play an important role. The Labrador Rottweiler mix is best suited to an active adult home, where the family is around for much of the day and is committed to positive reinforcement training methods. But they will need a lot of work in terms of socialization and training, to make sure you reduce the possibility of bad behavior later on. Both parents should be friendly, healthy and confident. This is by no means a guarantee, but stacks more of the odds in your favor. Please avoid buying from puppy mills or pet stores, as these have no real concern for the health of their animals. Rottweiler Lab puppies are now deliberately bred, but they have existed for quite a while by accident. You need to avoid backyard breeders by only going to someone who has mixed a beloved pet due to their excellent health and wonderful temperament. Good breeders ask lots of questions, and are happy to answer them in return. Both the Lab and Rottie parent of your puppy must have excellent hip and elbow scores. The breeder should provide you proof of this. They must also be clear for PRA and have recent unaffected eye tests from their vet. Should a Rottweiler Mix take after their Rottweiler parent, they will be a larger and strong dog breed that has a sweet, lovable personality and a protective instinct. Rotties tend to be calm and aloof. They also love their families and are lovable, playful, and affectionate with them.

They can vary widely in size, as both their parent breeds have several different sizes, but they are usually a medium-sized pooch. They are sturdy dogs, with a ton of playful energy and personality, and as puppies and adults, they will often send their owners into fits of laughter. These dogs are a big responsibility to take on, especially for a novice dog owner, and their high energy should be taken into careful consideration before bringing a pup home. These dogs do not enjoy being alone, and they can become highly destructive if they get bored — having a job to do is important to these pooches. Rattle Dogs are highly intelligent The Poodle is one of the most intelligent breeds on the planet, and the American Rat Terrier is no slouch either. Rat dogs fell out of favor for some time but are making a comeback these days. They are easy to train and are highly skilled at sniffing out and catching vermin, making them one of the most popular farm dogs in the s and s. You can be sure that the combination of these two breeds will make for a highly trainable, adept, agile, and intelligent pooch. Rat Terriers came from several different breeds Rat Terriers were created by farmers with a specific purpose in mind: catching vermin. Four different breeds of Terrier were to promote hunting and flushing instincts, and the Whippet and Greyhound were for speed and control. Lastly, the Beagle was added to give the Rat Terrier a healthy dose of pack mentality. Rat Terriers are U. While a version of the breed was created in the U. For example, Rat Terriers can be highly stubborn at times, while Poodles rarely have this issue. This means that your Rat Dog may be a challenge or a breeze to train. Generally, however, Rat Dogs are more on the even-tempered side of things, enjoy pleasing their owners, and take well to training. They are highly alert dogs that make excellent guard dogs, but they can get carried away with barking. This can be mitigated by good training, though, but they will still be comparatively vocal animals. If you decide to bring one of these puppies home, make sure you have a high fence. Both Poodles and Rat Terries have a big jump, and Rat Terriers in particular love to explore and thus, often escape, in order to satisfy their urges. Are These Dogs Good for Families? They love to play and will likely be a hit with kids, content to spend hours in the yard playing games. Bear in mind that these dogs are highly social and love to be around their owners. They will not enjoy being left at home alone for extended periods and will resort to digging, chewing, and barking to release their frustration and anxiety. Smaller family pets like rabbits and hamsters may be seen as prey and something to chase. Without proper training, this desire will be irresistible, causing endless headaches for any cats in the home! Of course, they can be socialized early and trained adequately to stop them from viewing the family cat as food and will likely be great friends in the end. Should a Rat Terrier Mix take after their Rat Terrier parent, they will be a small dog with a big, energetic, and playful personality. They love their families and are devoted to them. Rat Terriers are intelligent, exuberant, and affectionate dogs that tend to get along well with children and other dogs. They have a high prey drive, so will need some extra socialization and training with other pets in the household. As long as they are well-socialized, they tend to open up to strangers quickly once they are introduced. They also make alert watchdogs and can be prone to barking a lot. If you start to train your dog to stop barking early on, you can keep this from becoming a nuisance behavior. If the other parent breed in the mix has a similar temperament, then you can expect the same from a Rat Terrier Mix. The other parent will introduce their own quirks, so you do want to make sure you ask the breeder about them. You can also meet the mother in-person to see what temperament she has and to see the behavior she is modeling for her puppies. A Rat Terrier is a highly adaptable that does well in apartments and in larger homes. They tend to be a better fit for fenced-in yards because their high prey drive means they have an urge to chase. Because of this, they should only be let off-leash in secure areas. They do well in most climates. As with any dog breed, they are sensitive to heat and may need to bundle up in the cold. Having the right mix of winter dog products can be a big help while out on walks when temperatures drop. These little dogs also do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. If the other parent breed is also highly adaptable, then you can expect something similar from a Rat Terrier Mix. Still, you want to ask the breeder about the other parent breed as they may have traits that could affect adaptability that you will want to be aware of. Just as a mixed-breed could inherit none of the conditions common to their parents, they could also inherit any combination of them or even all of them. From the Rat Terrier side, potential health concerns to be aware of include luxating patella , eye disorders, heart issues, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, and hip dysplasia. Because reputable breeders screen their dogs to avoid passing issues on to puppies, you should be asking about the health and genetic history of both of the parents. Rat Terriers are highly intelligent, eager to please, and pick up on things quickly. But, their stubborn streak and determination can be a challenge for first-time dog owners to handle alone, so puppy training classes are encouraged.

A Rat Terrier Mix could end up with a coat that is similar to one of their parents or a coat that is truly a mix of both. Should they have a Rat Terrier coat, it will shed a bit year-round and shed heavier as seasons change. Weekly brushing and a monthly bath are usually enough for a Rat Terrier coat. The other parent breed may have an effect on grooming requirements for a Rat Terrier Mix coat, so you want to make sure you are asking the breeder about them. Weekly checks and careful ear cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. As a small dog breed, a Rat Terrier Mix is more prone to developing dental diseases later in life. This makes practicing good dental care for dogs early and consistently throughout their life even more important. Daily brushing or using an enzyme toothpaste every day in addition to cleanings at the vet as needed are ideal. Although Rat Terriers can be highly energetic dogs, they tend to sit in a more moderate range because they are small and will get tired eventually. Daily walks plus some playtime and time to run are usually enough for them, but they are also often up for more if you are. Should the other parent breed have similar exercise requirements, then you can expect the same from a Rat Terrier Mix. But, if the other parent breed is lower or higher energy, then you will need to be prepared for that potential range. A fully-grown Rat Terrier is usually inches tall and weighs pounds.

Johnny Behavior 0Comments Is your Frenchie feeling a bit under the weather? Pet parents can find it hard to believe that their pup is not in the mood for a walk in the park or a quick game of fetch. Your Frenchie will be sad sometimes — no doubt there. But what if this sadness starts looking like depression? That means that they can experience feelings of sadness and depression a bit differently. Even more so, dogs can sense your energy. So, if you notice that your Frenchie is not in the best place right now, try not to project any more anxious feelings onto them. Just like humans, there is a specific limit to which they can tolerate emotions. Okay, this was a short — but hopefully useful — intro on dog depression. Get ready to take notes! Low activity levels and refusing playtime are generally the first and most common signs that your dog is depressed. Before you start panicking, try to bring in a family member or a friend your pup knows well. But what happens when your Frenchie is refusing a delicious dog snack? Try offering them their favorite treat. Adult Frenchies do spend up to 14 hours a day snoozing. Relaxing is one thing, though. So, if your Frenchie refuses to get out of bed, and all you hear is snoring sounds — it might be feeling depressed. Note: Excess sleeping often has a psychological background to it. Constant sleep is not the only sign. Insomnia is another red flag — and this one could have an impact on you, too. And, honestly, they might get on your nerves, too. How is this connected? Well, licking could be a form of self-soothing — just like too much sleeping. Also, excess licking can have health consequences. Your French bulldog can pick up a lot of parasites and dust mites that could lead to infections and inflammation. You ought to be careful with this one. You should start worrying when barking turns into howling, though. These sudden and aggressive outbursts can happen whenever. Your Frenchie can bite you — or growl until you leave the room. Your Frenchie will either have sudden aggressive outbursts towards you or will try to ruin your furniture. Flattening their ears is a sign of anxiety, fear, and depression. The sadder or more frightened your Frenchie is, the more its ears will go back. There is probably an underlying medical cause behind this; you might want to call the vet. Here are a couple of tips for concerned owners. Cuddle with them, take them on regular walks — and even talk to them. Your dog needs your love, but it also needs company. Consider taking your Frenchie to dog parks more often and arrange dog playdates. Call your vet for a one-on-one medical consultation if you notice that the matter is spiraling out of hand. Maybe your Frenchie is suffering from something more serious — and it needs medication. Our Final Thoughts There are many signs that your French bulldog is depressed. They can be related to the environment, food, anger issues — or even sleeping patterns. The main point is, dog depression is genuine, and you need to deal with it. When not writing, he enjoys hiking and time in nature with his pets. Pin1 1 Shares We all want to have a well-adjusted French Bulldog, but with their sad faces it can be hard to tell if they are in fact depressed and unhappy. As a generalization, French Bulldogs always look sad so as an owner you should instead look for other signs of depression aside from their facial expression. But before I explain how tell if your French Bulldog is depressed and what could be causing the depression, just a quick caveat; long-term canine depression is very unusual. With most Frenchies you will find times when they are depressed, but in the majority of cases it will be a short-term thing typically due to an environmental or routine change. Longer term depression in Frenchies can arise from a major life change. For example, perhaps their companion dog died, they have had a nasty injury, have moved home, or experienced some form of trauma. This French Bulldog sad face, is actually a happy face — go figure! Here are all the signs of depression and sadness you need to look out for. Will hide, cower, and be fearful of you French bulldog depression will often manifest itself with hiding behavior. The reason your French Bulldog hides can be down to a range of issues, many of which I will explain further down in the guide when I look at the causes of depression. However, simple reasons can be a change in what they are used to. Think of home moves, new people, or changes to their routine. Frenchies will seek out small and dark places to hide in when they are sad, depressed, frightened, or stressed. Frenchies are social companion dogs. If you leave them alone for just a couple of hours, they can suffer with separation anxiety. With a little bit of coaxing and love they will soon be back to their normal selves. Handy Hint: To find out more about separation anxiety in Frenchies and how it can make them sad or depressed, read this guide. It refers to when your dog will look at you, but with its head bowed or to one side, but still with the eyes fixed on you but with one key difference; you can see the whites of the eyes in a crescent shape showing. This whale eye behaviour is a classic sign of a dog being stressed, fearful, anxious, or depressed. Whale eye in this half moon shape can be a sign of stress, but not always in a Frenchie. Dogs of a brachycephalic breed such as Frenchies always have a little bit of white showing in their eyes. Will have a change in appetite One of the biggest ways to tell if your French bulldog is depressed will be a loss of appetite. But, just like humans, sometimes dogs can even more when they are feeling sad and down. However, most of the time, a sad French Bulldog will lose their appetite. This can be a sign of increased stress levels. Thankfully, this has only ever lasted for half a day at most with our Frenchie, but it should be closely monitored. This will usually be due to a medical complaint, so you should consult with your vet if it goes on for too long. Will lick themselves more than usual One of the lesser known signs of depression in a French Bulldog is excessive licking. It will often be mis-interpreted as them licking a wound or cleaning themselves. Why is licking excessively a sign of stress, depression, or sadness though? Firstly, a dog will lick more in order to sooth itself. I believe this is a hereditary thing from when their mother would lick and wash them in a litter. What better way to feel happier than putting yourself in a comfortable mental zone? The second reason why excessive licking could mean your Frenchie is depressed is medical. Dogs that scratch, itch, and lick more than usual could have a skin problem. Handy Hint: To find out what skin problems Frenchies suffer with and what signs to look out for, read this guide. I found this quote from Dr Anita Patel , a leading veterinary dermatologist which sums it up very well. What we now know is that skin issues can be one of the biggest causes of depression for dogs. And like people, when a dog is depressed, they lose interest in the things they usually love. Frequently itching, scratching, nibbling or licking themselves could be a strong sign of a skin condition. In rarer cases of French Bulldog depression, it could actually go in completely the opposite direction, with them not sleeping at all. We had this with Claude once when he had a gastro-intestinal problem. He was unable to sleep and was very depressed until the infection passed. In the graph below you can see what a typical sleeping pattern can look like when your Frenchie is not sad or down in the dumps. This is how many hours a day a Frenchie will typically sleep. You can read how many of sleep is normal here. Will start yawning and panting This is another lesser known sign your French bulldog is depressed is yawning. Scientists believe there is a lot of foundation in it read more on PsychologyToday. In dog obedience classes, for example, I have often seen a dog yawn immediately after its master scolded it for something or gave it a very harsh correction. Dogs will often pant when they are scared — if you have a dog that hates loud noises such as fireworks, you might have seen this in action. Will urinate or defecate indoors Dogs can also respond to stress by urinating inside of the house. This one can come out of nowhere even with previously very well trained Frenchies. French Bulldog acting depressed will often combine in by soiling the floor inside of the house. Dog behavioural specialists say this is very common after a house move, or high times of anxiety when a dog will mark its territory — or even be afraid to go outdoors. In many cases though, it will be down to fear and anxiety. Destructive behavior will often be combined with a lack of obedience and not responding to commands. Digging is a classic sign too. Often Frenchies will dig holes in the garden because they literally want to escape and get to another place. Will lose interest in toys and play Very depressed and sad French Bulldogs will stop doing the things that they love. This can be going for walks, being at your side, and even losing interest their toys. Handy Hint: You might find that your Frenchie cheers up by being stimulated by some new toys. Why is your French bulldog sad in this scenario? Well, like most of the signals on this list, there could be an underlying health issue bring them down. Will growl and be aggressive And the most obvious is saved for last. Frenchies that are sick or scared can become aggressive. It makes sense; dogs who are stressed can become fearful, and not want anybody near them. Handy Hint: If your Frenchie is biting for non-stress related reasons then there are ways in which you can train them to stop. See this guide to preventing biting behavior. If your French Bulldog seems depressed it could be down to a number of reasons. Here are some of the most common reasons why your dog could be sad. Change in routine or their environment Frenchies are very sensitive to change. I know one owner whose puppy had a long period of depression after a house move. It took their dog a month to get used to the change of surroundings not too soon after it had settled into a new home shortly after being taken away from the mother. Many dog owners report depression in their pups after a new baby is born and brought into the family home. Others talk about their dog being sad if they have had to spend more time than usual out of the home perhaps with a new job. Traumatic incident or injury French Bulldogs can also act depressed after a stressful incident or an injury. Injuries that involve going to a vet could put your dog well out of its comfort zone. Having to be prodded, poked, and injected will often raise anxiety levels for a long time after the injury has been treated. The same sadness will manifest itself in Frenchies whose owners have passed away. It can be very challenging to take on the dog who has lost their owner. You can read how to help them out further down the page. Loneliness French Bulldogs are companion animals. I recommend two Frenchies being better than one for this very reason. Fear and stress One Frenchie owner I spoke to told me how her dog became depressed after new neighbors moved in who had a dog. Her French Bulldog knew the new dog was on the other side of the fence in the backyard, and she believes the depression set in due to anxiety over territory. Separation anxiety Separation anxiety is a common theme with Frenchies and one of the main reasons why they will become depressed. Symptoms of separation anxiety, and therefore depression include: Urinating and defecating indoors. Pacing, heavy panting, and drooling. Chewing, digging , and destructive behavior. Escape attempts. I mentioned human babies coming into a household earlier as a prime reason for depression. The reason being, the focus of attention will move from the dog to the new arrival. Sickness And last but not least; sickness. Your French Bulldog could always look sad due to illness. The depression could very well be a secondary symptom of pain and discomfort. For example, if your Frenchie no longer wants to go for a walk, preferably to look miserable and disinterested, it could be the on-set of canine arthritis pain. You can usually lift a sad funk with things such as: Offer plenty of attention and love. Keep routines and schedules the same Keep them well entertained with play and exercise. Consider getting them a dog companion. Buy new toys to keep them mentally active and stimulated. Give them more socialization with other dogs. Give them a safe and comfortable place to bed down. Give them time to feel better — it will probably lift after a couple of hours. If nothing else works, then you should seek professional support from a vet. They will be able to do checks and blood tests to look for any medical reasons that could be caused the depressed behavior. These work very similar to how depression meds do with humans. Conclusion The bottom line is that Frenchies will typically become sad after a major event or change in their life. And how will you know your Frenchie is loving life? Dogs are like people in more ways than people seem to give them credit. Like people, dogs can experience several emotions. We see these in how they interact through their body language. Dogs can be happy, sad, fearful, and angry. If your Frenchie friend is suddenly acting listless or even sad, and it seems to last for an extended period, you might be worried there is a problem. Frenchies, like all dogs, can act sad for several reasons. Sadness can be a normal emotion, such as after your dog has lost a companion, had an upheaval in routine, or lost an owner. Sometimes, a change in the environment, like moving or bringing home a new baby, can cause it. Sometimes, your dog might be sad because you scolded him. With that information in mind, you might be wondering how you can tell if your dog is just sad or if he may suffer from depression. Sadness is common for the causes mentioned above. Just like people, your dog is bound to be sad sometimes. Generally speaking, sadness is pretty easy to identify, even in Frenchies that already naturally look sad with their droopier faces. But at some point, that sadness can even become depression that requires some treatment. Temporary sadness is to be expected from time to time. However, sadness is not the same as depression. When your dog is depressed, the sadness does not disappear. Depression is rare in dogs, but it does occur sometimes. Depressed dogs are those which appear to be sad for much longer than you would expect. They may not participate in their favorite activities at all or completely reject food. Like in humans, depression in dogs can seriously impact their wellbeing and behavior that may require further treatment. Just like people, dogs can be medicated with antidepressants. Why is My French Bulldog Depressed? You might wonder what dogs have to be depressed about. After all, they get fun, food, shelter, and built-in companions with their owners. Grief: The most common reason for depression in dogs is grief. It could be in the form of losing a companion, such as another dog, a special toy, or even a human member of the household who has moved out of the house or passed away. Environmental Changes: Changes in the environment can lead to depression as well. It refers to the seasonal depression people face in areas with very little sunlight in the winter. Your dog is sensitive, and sometimes, dogs can go through depression as the seasons change. Trauma: Finally, trauma can lead to depression. Signs of Depression In My Frenchie If your dog is depressed, four primary signs will last longer than just a couple of days. These are: Sleeping more. Animals, especially domestic ones, can also be depressed, but unlike people who can articulate their problems, animals are pretty much helpless in this department. That is why it is up to you as their owner and a friend! After all, the whole point of getting a dog is joy and who can be happy when their loved one is depressed, right? Frenchies are very delicate and emotional beings, no matter how tough some of them look on the outside! Being separated from their beloved human can cause serious problems. Some of them have more energy than others and they are more active, some are quieter and more introverted… After all, even Frenchies can have a bad day or be lazy from time to time, but here are some general symptoms that indicate your Frenchie may suffer from Frenchie depression: Appetite problems. Very often when a Frenchie is sad and going through some rough time, like losing his owner, pack member or a very close pet friend, he can lose interest in food and lose some weight. On some occasions, sad Frenchies soak their sorrow in food and gain some weight if that lasts longer. Changes in sleep. Losing interest. If your Frenchie no longer looks forward to things that used to make him happy, like going for a walk, favorite toy, food he used to love or playing with you and has generally become less active, he is probably depressed. Licking his paws. Some Frenchie do that to soothe themselves when they are in sorrow. If a Frenchie that is normally playful and energized tends to avoid people and goes somewhere he can be isolated, he is most likely injured, ill or depressed. In this case, you should first make sure there is not some physical problem that is bothering your French Bulldog, and if all physical causes are eliminated, then he probably has emotional problems. These are some of the clues for you, but safest thing is to take your frenchie to a vet. Only after you have eliminated all medical and physical issues, you can know for sure it is depression and then look for appropriate treatment. Play with him, take him for a walk more often than usual, take him to a park to play with other French Bulldogs or let him engage in some other activities he loves. Buy him some new toys, preferably one that will make him more occupied and distract him for a longer period of time. If your Frenchie has lost a pet companion, maybe you should get him another one. Give your Frenchie some time to bounce back, be patient and be there for him. Remember, you are the only person he can count on. If it takes too long for him to get back to being active, playful and his usual self, then you have no option but to take him to a veterinarian. He may need to do some blood analysis to eliminate the medical cause of this condition and after that, he may prescribe some french bulldog antidepressant. This should help your Frenchie go through this rough period, but remember- love and patience is the best cure for all living things, especially your furry little friend!
