Boxer Pregnancy Signs of Pregnancy Whether you are purposely and carefully breeding your female Boxer or you think your Boxer may be pregnant due to an unplanned tie, it is important to notice the subtle signs as soon as possible. It will only take 9 weeks 63 days, on average for your Boxer to go from conceiving to having her puppies; it is vital to give her special care as soon as you know she is expecting. The signs of Boxer pregnancy are not glaringly obvious immediately. However, you'll know, just by the physical changes, within the first two to three weeks. You'll take a step back and wonder, "Does her stomach look a bit rounded out? She may begin to show dominance around the home; to other pets and even try to show this to her owners She may be moody; wanting to be left alone and rest as opposed to her normal wanting to play, etc. Possible decreased appetite at first, then a heartier appetite by week 3. Confirming if a Boxer Dog is Pregnant Typically, there are no outward signs during the first two weeks. A female may start to show signs by week 3. And it will not be until week 3 that a pregnancy can be confirmed by the veterinarian. There are several different types of tests that can be done. Blood test: This is the test that will let you know as early as possible; it is accurate starting on day .Ultrasound: This is accurate starting on day 28 and is not usually performed if a blood test was conclusive unless the veterinarian suspects possible issues. Palpation: This refers to a vet manually feeling the abdomen. An experienced vet should be able to tell by day .X-rays: These will not be conclusive until day 42, because until this time bones of the fetuses have not calcified enough. These are often taken a week or so before the expected due date to confirm how many puppies to expect. Special Care During the Pregnancy From the time that you learn your Boxer is pregnant to several weeks after the birthing of the pups, your dog will need special care. Her increased appetite after week 3 will be the most obvious sign and the one that you will need to tend to. A Boxer in this state will normally eat about 3 times the amount she normally does. Although she will be eating more in the last 3 weeks, be sure to spread out meals 3 to 5 times per day so that bloat does not occur. Do not give her additional calcium. This has been linked to eclampsia a sometimes fatal drop in blood calcium levels that occurs in nursing dams , difficult deliveries, soft tissue calcium deposits in the puppies, and certain joint abnormalities in the pups. Too much of these can cause birth defects in the puppies. Look for any discharge and report even a small amount to the vet. It can be a sign of a very serious infection including pyometra, which an be deadly if not treated. Do not be surprised if your Boxer's stomach does not appear to be too big. A large Boxer carrying a small litter will not have that much of a drooping stomach. Keep her exercising with daily walks; it is important to keep her in good shape. This can be curtailed for the last week, as she should be inside and resting. Knowing it is Time Your Boxer's veterinarian can tell you exactly how far along your dog is via an ultra sound or x-ray. Knowing that the day is approaching, beginning on day 55 you can take your dog's temperature. This is done rectally. A dog's normal temperature is .When her temperature goes down to 98 F .Setting up a Whelping Box A whelping box is the area that you will prepare for your dog to give birth. It must be a confined area that: Is placed in a quiet area; once she gives birth, she will nest here to nurse her puppies. Has at least 15 layers of sheets on the floor of the box. As she goes through the delivery process, you can roll up and put each layer into a large, strong trash bag. This will create new, fresh sheets throughout the delivery. Crumbled up or shredded newspaper can be placed on top of the sheets and in between the layers. You may also put some blankets. Expect this to be a very messy area. Keep the room warm. Additional heat must be supplied to keep the newborn puppies warm. Many owners use heating pads, placed under a blanket. The optimal temperature is 85 F .Tips for Whelping What you should do when your dog gives birth? While this is a natural process of life, an owner should never make an attempt to go this alone. You must prepare yourself: Trim your nails very short, file them so that they are smooth Take all rings off of your fingers Put on clothes that you have no problem with throwing away afterwards Your Boxer will not want to eat right before she is ready. Do not try to force feed her. Keep all other pets, especially a male dog, out of the room. Allow her to lay down in the whelping box. Contractions will begin. Do not panic if your Boxer cries while giving birth; this is natural although a bit heartbreaking. Keep in mind that it is temporary. Do not attempt to give her any medication. As each puppy begins to crown, be ready in case you need to help pull them out. If you do, your grasp but be firm yet gentle. If a part of the puppy is showing, hold on to it so that it is not pulled back in. Allow nature to work, but if a pup is truly stuck you will then need to step in and help. Each of the Boxer puppies will have a thin sac surrounding them and will be attached by the umbilical cord. Normally, the dam will tear away the sac, bite the cord and lick the puppy. If she does not do this, it is time to step in. Carefully remove the sac, using sterilized thread cut the cord by tying the thread around it and pulling on each end. Rub the puppy to stimulate blood flow and breathing. If the puppy has difficulty making it to the dam, help him or her reach her to suckle. Your Boxer's veterinarian should have been able to tell you how many puppies were due. However, to make sure, after what you believe is the last puppy to come out, feel your Boxer's stomach. You should be able to feel if there is another pup inside. Once the last puppy has been born, remove the mess. Take away the sheets until you have a clean area. Lay down more blankets. Allow both dam and puppies to be left alone. Do not try to cuddle a newborn puppy. His or her place must be with the dam. The dam will be producing colostrum during the first few days. This is a highly nutritional fluid that supplies the puppies with antibodies to fight against infection and disease. Keep an eye out for any puppy who does not seem to be getting this nutrition. Your Boxer may not want to eat right after giving birth. Allow her a day or 2 to get back into an eating schedule. She should have a rather big appetite during the time that the pups are suckling. When to Call the Vet - Emergency Situations While we all hope that the birth of puppies happens without complications, one must be prepared in the case of emergency. Your Boxer's veterinarian should be called when your dog is about to deliver. It is so much better to be safe than sorry. Black Boxers - There are certainly Boxer dogs that appear to be black. However, bloodlines suggest that this color cannot exist in the breed. Photos and information. Step 1 Develop a timeline for whelping. Dogs typically gestate for 63 days, but larger breeds such as boxers may whelp a day or two early. Step 2 Schedule your female for a pre-whelping exam at least 10 days prior to the whelping date. Your vet will examine your dog to make sure she is healthy and will tell you how many puppies to expect. Step 3 Prepare the whelping area the week before your dog is due. Select a quiet room, such as an extra bedroom or guest bathroom. The pool makes an excellent whelping box, since it allows the female to climb in and out but keeps the puppies inside. Erect a heat lamp over one side of the pool to keep the newborn litter warm when the mother gets up to eat or take a potty break. Step 4 Observe your boxer carefully for the first stage of labor. Your dog may pace, dig and circle around in the whelping box to prepare a safe nest for the impending puppies. Boxers tend to be a little nervous during labor, so clear the room of any other pets and people. Step 5 Watch your dog for signs that labor is advancing. The dog may lay down and get up repeatedly, pant, pace or lick her vulva as she starts having contractions. You may be able to see her abdomen tighten and relax in increasingly frequent waves as the contractions increase. Step 6 Stand clear of the whelping box as your boxer starts to deliver. The first puppy will appear with the thin placental membrane still covering its body. The female should break the sac and lick the puppy clean to stimulate breathing. Tear it gently with clean hands and rub the puppy with a dry towel. Step 7 Wait for your boxer to bite the umbilical cord before moving the puppy under the heat lamp. Snip the cord with a pair of sharp scissors and dab a little iodine over the cord to prevent infection. Step 8 Monitor the remainder of the birthing process. The female may rest slightly between puppies but should not take more than 60 minutes to deliver the next puppy. Boxers have very angular pelvises, and puppies may get stuck in the birth canal. If your dog appears to be straining with no evidence of another puppy coming, or in any distress, call your veterinarian immediately. More Articles. Boxers have large heads, even before birth. In addition, some bitches give birth early. Recognizing the signs of impending birth are key to a healthy birth for the bitch and the pups. Take your dog to the veterinarian. Your vet is your best ally in a healthy birth. You should take the dog after mating to ensure that it is pregnant. Around 40 or 50 days after mating, your vet should order an x-ray of the developing pups. The vet will help you count the number of heads so that you know how many pups are in the litter. As the puppy develops, it lays calcium in the bones. The more calcium in each bone, the clearer it shows up in the x-ray. According to Phi Vestavia, a U. If enough calcium is present in the legs to see the tibia, then the puppies may be born in 48 hours. These times are not hard and fast rules. The health of the bitch and puppies can alter the time frame. Measure the dogs food after eating. According to Belire Boxers, a U. Prior to going into labor, the boxer will become restless. It may go to the prepared whelping box, tear the paper or bedding material, and form a nest for the birth. The dog may shiver or pant as its body prepares for labor Tips Look at the x-ray with your vet. It is very difficult to determine individual bones when the dog is pregnant with several puppies. The vet will also look for any stillborn or stunted pups that may pose a birth risk for the mother or puppies. Warnings Call the vet if the dog seems to be in distress, goes through all the signs of labor with no result or you have any questions. Tips Look at the x-ray with your vet. Items You Will Need. Abstract Background Dystocia occurs more commonly in some breeds of dogs than others. The Boxer breed is one of the highrisk breeds for whelping problems. The aim of this study was to document some reproductive parameters and the frequency of dystocia in Boxers. Methods Two questionnaires were sent to the breeders of Boxers in Sweden during to .Data from whelpings and pups was received, which constitutes .Data was analysed using Chi-square test, and Fischer's exact test. Caesarian section was performed in .The dystocia was of maternal origin in .Dystocia increased with increasing age of the bitch from four years of age. Average litter size was 6. Stillbirths accounted for 6. Cryptorchidism was observed in 9. Conclusion The Boxer suffers a high frequency of dystocia, mainly due to uterine inertia, but also fetal malpresentation. Breeders should be adviced to include easy whelpings in their breeding program. Background Dystocia is defined as difficult birth or the inability to expel the fetus through the birth canal without assistance. Traditionally, dystocia is classified as being of either maternal or fetal origin, or a combination of both. The overall incidence of dystocia in the bitch is probably below 5 per cent, but it may amount to almost per cent in some breeds of dogs, especially those of the achondroplastic type and those selected for large heads [ 1 , 3 - 7 ]. Gill [ 5 ], studying 15 breeds of dogs found dystocia to vary in frequency from 9. Eneroth et al. Uterine inertia is by far the most common cause of dystocia in dogs. It is classified into primary and secondary inertia. Primary complete uterine inertia is the failure of the uterus to begin labor at full term. Primary partial uterine inertia occurs when there is enough uterine activity to initiate parturition but it is insufficient to complete a normal birth of all fetuses, in the absence of an obstruction. Primary inertia can also be due to that the uterus fails to respond to the fetal signals because there are only one or two pups and thus insufficient stimulation to initiate labor the single-pup syndrome or because of overstretching of the myometrium by large litters, excessive fetal fluids, or oversized fetuses. Other causes of primary inertia may be an inherited predisposition, nutritional imbalance, fatty infiltration of the myometrium, age-related changes, deficiency of neuro-endocrine regulation, or systemic disease in the bitch. Secondary uterine inertia implies that some fetuses have been delivered while the remaining ones are left in utero due to exhaustion of the uterine myometrium caused by obstruction of the birth canal; this condition should be clearly distinguished from primary inertia [see [ 6 ]]. The Boxer breed is known to have a high risk for dystocia [ 5 , 8 ]. The Swedish Boxer Club, therefore, sent a questionnaire [See Additional file 1 ] to all the Swedish Boxer breeders registering a litter of pups in and , asking for details about the bitch's oestrous cycle, the mating and the whelping and about the development of the pups until the time of delivery to the new owners at 8 weeks of age. An unexpectedly high frequency of Caesarean sections was discovered and this prompted a follow-up survey [See Additional file 2 ] for the years and , with more detailed questions about the parturitions and the pups. The Club then turned to the Division of Reproduction at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala for help to investigate the nature and cause of the whelping problems of the Boxer breed in order to improve their breeding program and reduce the risk for dystocia in this breed. Methods The questionnaires The two questionnaires were sent to all the breeders that registered a litter of Boxer pups with the Swedish Kennel Club between and .Breeders of litters registered in and received a version [See Additional file 1 ] wich contained questions about the oestrous cycle of the bitch and the mating, the course of the parturition, and about the pups during the period from birth to delivery to the new owners. Breeders that registered litters during and received another version [See Additional file 2 ] in which the questions were more concentrated around the whelping as such. The questionnaires were distributed to the breeders in June , and in July , respectively. In 22 cases the breeders were also contacted over the telephone by the authors for further clarifications. The oestrous cycle of the bitch Questions about the oestrous cycles of the bitches were included in the first questionnaire and have been compiled without further analysis. The age of the bitch at the time of whelping The age of the bitch at the time of whelping was calculated based on the year of registration of the bitch with the Swedish Kennel Club and the year of whelping. If the bitch's kennel prefix indicated that it was imported and, thus, registered with the Swedish Kennel Club as an adult, the year of birth was checked and used for the calculation of the bitch's age at whelping. Definition of dystocia Bitches considered by their owners to be in need of veterinary treatment during whelping were, in this study, defined as suffering from dystocia. Duration of the whelping In this study the duration of the whelping has been defined as the time from the birth of the first pup until the birth of the last pup. Classification of uterine inertia Based on the breeders' information, bitches which had not produced any pup and for which no information was given to indicate that the first water bag had burst at the time of admission to the veterinary clinic, were classified as suffering from primary total uterine inertia. Bitches that had given birth to at least one pup before needing veterinary assistance, as well as those in which the first water bag had burst but no pup had been produced, were classified as suffering from primary incomplete uterine inertia. The litters Information about the number of litters, registered pups and the sex distribution was obtained from the Kennel Club registry from the years to .As the two questionnaires differed slightly for instance regarding the sex distribution among the pups which was only included in the second questionnaire and because not all breeders answered all the questions, the calculations have been based on those litters for which all the necessary information was available. Cryptorchidism Cryptorchidism is a common defect in the Boxer breed and was therefore included in the surveys. Breeders tend to believe that cryptorchidism is more common in litters containing many male pups, and consequently we also wanted to study whether the number of pups and the sex distribution had any influence on the incidence of cryptorchidism in the litters. Statistical methods Chi-square test was used to analyse relations between the discrete variables. When the values in the cells were too low for this test to be applicable, Fischer's exact test was used. A Chi-square trend analysis was used to look at the relation between a discrete variable and another discrete ordinal variable. To analyse pup death rates for parturitions of different durations we used a hypothesis test that compared two proportions. Results Out of a total of Boxer litters registered by the Kennel Club during the years of the study, .The recorded whelpings were out of individual bitches, mated to different males. For of the bitches there is only information about one litter each, whereas 47 bitches gave birth to two litters and six bitches to three litters each during the period of study. The study includes pups born and that were registrered with the Kennel Club.

Daisy-Gold Goldens have champion lineage, but are bred as loving family dogs. She was my initial introduction to the European Golden. It has taken several years to acquire knowledge about the European Golden. At the Guisachan House, the home of Lord Tweedmouth, in the ruggedly beautiful county of Inverness in the north Scottish highlands, it was here the first Yellow Retrievers were bred and raised. Lord Tweedmouth carefully worked out a plan to make a yellow retriever breed. Lord Tweedmouth gave many puppies he bred to friends, others were put out with keepers and bred from, so that the yellow Retrievers in the hands of gundog men, at that time seldom interested in pedigrees but only in how their dogs worked, would have been crossed with black Retrievers or with Setters, without compunction. They must have passed their hip and elbow exams by OFA or OVC if from Canada and must have a heart clearance from a veterinary cardiologist, as well as a yearly eye exam from a veterinary opthamologist, stating they are eligible to receive CERF certification. This gives us additional information to help us make wise breeding decisions, always striving to improve the future of our Goldens. Because of our commitment to the breed and complexities of breeding, it is our strict policy to sell all puppies on AKC Limited Registration Status only, unless I am dealing with breeders already known to me. We do not keep more than 4 active bitches females in our breeding program here at Daisy-Gold Goldens at any one time. Daisy-Gold Goldens are bred for temperament and health. All puppies are home raised, well socialized and receive constant attention. They are started on basic obedience training prior to going to their new homes. Our goal is to raise a well adjusted, happy puppy that you can live with. Thank you for visiting our website. Daisy Gold Goldens has 3- 4'x12' areas for whelping up to three litters at one time. Enough room for play and litter box training until about 5 weeks of age. They then have an extra 9'x12' area for play. The whole area is well lighted, heated, and air conditioned. The floor is non-slip vinyl. The pups listen to classical music with intermittent everyday noises so they will be desensitized. 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.

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.

Spend time at the dog park instead of using electricity at home watching television. Make your own doggy treats utilizing food in your kitchen instead of buying commercial ones.

Do GSD's make good family pets? A well bred and properly trained German shepherd makes a wonderful family companion. They are naturally protective of their "pack". As with any other breed, young children should never be left unattended with a puppy, however, if the children learn to respect the puppy as a living being, the puppy will be a wonderful companion for the children as they all grow up together. Your dog's ranking in the "pack" should always be established as the bottom Omega member below humans. What traits are present in the German Shepherd? The breed is naturally loyal, intelligent and protective which makes it good for police work. The GSD has an excellent nose, making it good for tracking and search and rescue work. They are calm and have a steady temperament when well-bred which is why they have been used as "Seeing Eye" dogs. A GSD thrives on regular exercise, mental stimulation and a well-balanced diet. They are very trainable and love to work. The German shepherd is affectionate but generally not dependent. He is aloof to strangers and may often seem quite indifferent to those outside his 'pack'. Breeding plays an important role in the temperament of GSD's, therefore selecting a reputable breeder concerned with both physical health and the personality of their puppies is of utmost importance. Different bloodlines exhibit traits differently, so question breeders about the strong and weak traits of their bloodlines. See the article on German versus American bloodlines about specific general differences. Can you guarantee my puppy will not have hip problems? No breeder in the world can guarantee that the puppies won't develop dysplasia, and if they do.Hip dysplasia is considered to be polygenic and is also influenced by environmental factors. That means that it's caused by a combination of genes that may not show up in any litter previously. No matter the certifications in the pedigree it is possible that your puppy could be predisposed to hip dysplasia. Treatments both surgical and drug can be done early to alleviate problems down the line. If in doubt, find an orthopedic specialist. Be wary of a breeder that says their puppies will definitely not have hip problems. The parents of our puppies are certified free of dysplasia and that should your pup develop a problem, I will be available to help and guide you in deciding what steps to take. What is the difference between males and females? Some people will say that males are more "location" protective while females are more "pack" protective. Males are generally more territorial, so unless training steps are consistent, marking could be a problem. Neutering may help alleviate this problem. Any dog not intended for a breeding program should be neutered or spayed. Besides eliminating the possibility of unwanted puppies and reducing some undesirable behaviors, it's considerably healthier for your dog since it eliminates or severely reduces the chance of testicular or mammary cancers. I have found that it is more useful to look to the individual temperament and personality of each pup in the litter then to generalize about sex differences. How old will my puppy be when I take it home? Puppies are old enough to go to their new homes by eight weeks. How big will my German shepherd be? The full adult size of your GSD will depend in large part on the genetic background of its parents. Adult males should range between " at the shoulder blade, females from ". Males within the standard may weigh anywhere from lbs. Females may weigh anywhere from lbs. Although your pup will reach close to adult height by months, he will continue to fill out until up to 3 years old. Be wary of breeders who emphasize "oversize", "huge", "big-boned" breeding stock or puppies. Bigger is not better in German Shepherds. The German Shepherd is not built to have a skeletal and muscular structure of an oversize breed. An inch or so out of standard may be acceptable providing the general line is not consistently out of standard. A responsible breeder will offset an oversize dog by breeding with a line that is a bit smaller in order to maintain the standards as closely as possible. What is "socializing" and why is it so important? Socializing refers to exposing your puppy to a variety of experiences, including meeting lots of people of various ages, races, sizes and both sexes as well as teaching them how to acceptably interact with other dogs. Puppy kindergarten classes provide an excellent opportunity for socialization in a controlled environment. Socializing is important because it helps strengthen your dog's confidence and reduces the chance that your dog will become shy or fearful. Fearful dogs can become fear aggressive or fear biters. All our puppies interact daily with our young children and experience playing inside and outside with the kids, older dogs, cats and different people. Will my German shepherd puppy's ears stand? Although some puppies' ears stand as early as weeks, don't be concerned if your pup's ears don't stand until months especially pups with large ears after teething. Some pups ears never stand. This is known as a "soft ear". Sometimes taping is successful. It is a disqualification in showing but does not affect the dog' health in a negative way. What precautions should I take with my GSD puppy? Other than the normal precautions of immunizations beware of a fast-growing puppy. There are studies that show a correlation between fast growth and hip dysplasia if your pup is predisposed to HD. You may want to switch your puppy over to adult food if it seems to be growing very quickly. Don't pet your puppy's ears backwards before they stand. Although people often do this by nature, it can damage the cartilage in your pup's ears which can affect the ear carriage. Do take your puppy to puppy kindergarten and obedience training classes and do your homework for these classes. Behaviors that are cute in a 15 pound puppy can be dangerous in a 75 pound adult. Socialize your puppy with people especially children and other dogs frequently after your puppy has completed its immunization series sometime after 16 weeks old. Your puppy may go through a period known as "adolescent shyness" when it reaches months of age. This period can last until the pup is months old. Socializing your puppy from an early age will help minimize this shyness. Expose your puppy to a variety of experiences, but do so gently. You don't want to traumatize your puppy. Be careful of heavy physical exertion directly before and after eating, especially if your GSD is a "gulper". German shepherds and many other large breeds can suffer from bloat. If your dog's abdomen becomes distended and rigid and it can not seem to belch or pass gas, gastric torsion may be the problem. This is an immediate health concern and you should contact your vet or an emergency clinic. How long should I wait to switch my puppy to adult food? We recommend switching at around 12 weeks to a feeding a high quality adult food. Check out the content of the food closely. Look for some kind of meat to be the first ingredient, not a grain product. Studies have shown that puppies growing quickly may be more prone to developing hip and elbow dysplasia. Dry food is fine, you don't need to supplement with canned food. It's expensive and doesn't provide anything a good dry food doesn't. If your puppy doesn't want to eat the dry food, you can moisten it slightly with warm water. This may also reduce the risk of bloat and don't worry, the pup will eat when he is hungry! How often should I feed my puppy and how much? Feed the pup morning and evenings, as much as he will eat in one sitting then remove the bowl until the next meal. Adjust your portions appropriately if the puppy is putting on excess weight. Remove his water source several hours before bedtime and fresh water should be available with every meal. Once the dog is housebroken, free access to water unless you will be gone for an extraordinarily long period of time should not be a problem. What is bloat gastric torsion? Bloat otherwise known as "gastric torsion" can be a problem with any deep chested breed like German Shepherds. The stomach twists so nothing can pass through the esophagus to the stomach or through the stomach to the intestines, causing gas to build up. This is an immediate health concern where the dog should be taken to the vet or emergency clinic. Signs of bloat include a distended rigid abdomen, indications of vomiting with no results and inability to belch or pass gas. High activity directly before or after eating can exacerbate bloating. Keeping the dog quiet at least one hour before and after eating can help reduce the chances of bloat. Pre-moistening the dog's food with water can also reduce the chances and smaller meals can also reduce the risk of bloat if you do not free-feed. Free-fed dogs just need to have their activity level watched, but do not usually eat enough at any one sitting to cause problems. Bloat is more of a problem with a dog that "gulps" its food which a free-fed dog won't usually do. Don't leave pre-moistened food down for a free-fed dog too long as it can breed bacteria. Instead, leave them smaller portions, but refill more frequently. What is the life expectancy of a German shepherd? Most lines of GSD's will live to between years of age. A GSD becomes "middle-aged" between years old, and is generally considered "geriatric" at about .Their food intake and exercise and nutrition needs may change over this period of time. They may begin to develop stiffness in their joints much like people do as they get older. Healthy teeth are important as bacteria from decaying teeth can affect the health of the dog. Do German Shepherds shed a lot? The GSD is a "double-coated" dog with an undercoat and guard hairs. The guard hairs will be shed all year. The undercoat is "blown" twice a year. The shedding is pretty much constant, but a regular weekly brushing keeps things under control. Avoid giving baths as it dries out the coat's natural oils. What is a long-coated German shepherds? The correct GSD coat is relatively short with an obvious undercoat. As such it is quite waterproof. Some dogs are born with long coats which usually, though not always, also have an undercoat. The normal coat is dominant to the long version, so there are three kinds of dog: normal, normal but carrying the long coat gene, and long. If you don't intend to show your dog in conformation, there's no reason to avoid the long-coated GSD. Long-coated GSD's can and do compete in obedience and other working disciplines. You should be aware, however, that the longer coat does require more attention when grooming. Are German shepherds smart and easy to train? Yes and no to both. Most GSD's are eager and willing to learn and enjoy training sessions don't overdo with a young pup - they just don't have the attention span. If you start young and teach your puppy its order in your "pack", problems with training will be minimized. However, GSD's tend to have more dominant personalities than some breeds and can be stubborn, so some care in training is recommended. Classes are extremely beneficial. A GSD that thinks it's the Alpha member of the pack can be a big handful. We help you to select the puppy with the appropriate temperament for your living situation. This helps to insure that with proper training the relationship between your dog and your family will be harmonious. My young GSD is limping! Is it pano or dysplasia?? You probably do want to take your pup into a vet just to make sure you can eliminate hip and elbow dysplasia from the cause of the problem. Most likely the vet will confirm that your pup has panosteitis, an inflammation of the long bones in the legs of adolescent pups. It's fairly common in GSD's It's also known as "long bone disease", "shifting leg lameness" and "growing pains". Onset can be from months occasionally later and last until 18 months or more. Though it is uncomfortable for the puppy, it almost always grows out of it. The lameness need not be limited to one leg. What is an average size litter? An average size litter for a GSD is six to eight puppies. What is the difference between a GSD and an Alsatian? There is no difference. After each of the World Wars, anything German fell out of popular favor. To avoid the use of the word German, "Alsatian" from the Alsace-Lorraine area was used. In some countries, GSD's are still known as Alsatians. The word "Dog" is part of the name. What is Schutzhund? Schutzhund is German for "protection dog", but it also refers to a training discipline and dog sport involving 3 phases; obedience, tracking and protection. It is supposed to be a fun experience for both the dog and the handler. If it isn't for one or the other, don't consider it. Find another activity. Schutzhund is not the be all and end all of training. See the section on Schutzhund often noted as SchH for more information. More info on schutzhund Why buy from a reputable breeder? You should seek out a reputable breeder when looking for a GSD pup because of the health concerns noted above as well as problems in temperament brought out in ill-bred GSD's Poorly-bred GSD's can also be aggressive, fearful, or shy-sharp a fearful dog that becomes aggressive when frightened. It is for these reasons that a reputable breeder is more likely to have sound pups, guarantee their health, help you select the puppy most suited to your lifestyle and goals, and be able to guide you as the pup grows.

At the vet I heard the vet and techs in the back gushing over how behaved he was and they sent me home with extra goodies for him hehe. He's already house trained.

The goldichon is both beauty and amiability brought to life in one adorable package. This designer dog breed results from mixing the popular golden retriever with the companion-sized bichon frise. Think of all the desirable traits of a golden retriever that make them the quintessential family dog, all in a pint-sized version. Below, we have covered all you need to know about this bichon frise mixed breed to help you know whether it is the right one for you. Whether you are looking for food for your dog or other pet supplies, Chewy. Unfortunately, little is known about whose genius idea it was to come up with the adorable goldichon. The goldichon first became established in the USA as designer dog breeds rose in popularity in the past few decades but is still extremely rare. Breeders who breed a purebred golden retriever with a bichon frise create a first-generation F1 mix. If two goldichons are bred together, they become F2 generation, and so forth. True goldichon breeders will try to breed multigenerational dogs to get a standardized set of traits and characteristics. Both males and females stand around 15 to 20 inches at the shoulders and weigh approximately 20 to 40 pounds. Most golden frises attain this adult height at the age of 8 to 12 months. Goldichon puppies are especially vulnerable to injury, so be sure to supervise interactions with small children or much bigger dogs. The golden retriever can carry the dominant gene, in which case the goldichon will look more like a goldie. Alternatively, the bichon frise can pass down most of the physical attributes. But typically, the golden bichon has a soft, wavy, short-to-medium coat that can tangle pretty fast without regular brushing. As a bichon frise descendant, the goldichon could have a double coat, so when the inner coat sheds, hair can get caught up in the topcoat leading to matting. Goldichons can come in cream, red, or golden color. They often have shorter legs compared to the rest of their body. This is especially true if the goldichon inherits a torso size close to that of the golden retriever. They often look like smaller, fluffier, golden retrievers. While the bichon frise is hypoallergenic, the golden retriever is not, so the goldichon may not be ideal for allergy sufferers. Luckily, goldichons have moderate maintenance requirements and are a good choice for new owners. They need regular brushing to keep the coat shiny and free of matting. Brushing at least two times a week is advisable, or up to four times a week if they have longer and fluffier coats. Brushing helps distribute the natural oils in their skin to keep their coat healthy and shiny. One of the parent breeds, the bichon frise, is prone to tearing and this means the goldichon can have issues with tear stains too. For this reason, a regular hygiene routine around the eye area is absolutely crucial to avoid tear stains and gunk under the eyes. The goldichon can have lots of hair on their face. Excessive face hair can blur good vision for your dog and is generally quite uncomfortable. Trim face hair every once in a while whenever you can tell that it has grown too long. A good rule of thumb is to trim the nails as soon as you hear clicking sounds when your dog is walking on a hard floor. Bathing your golden frise once a month or every other month is sufficient. If your pup gets dirty mid-month, feel free to wash him up for a smooth and healthy coat. But beware that excessive bathing can strip their coat of natural oils. The goldichon is a small breed and as such, prone to dental issues. They are susceptible to dental problems such as canine periodontitis, which can lead to other health issues. Activity Requirements These are relatively active dogs that need about 45 minutes of moderate exercise a day. Whether going for a walk or playing fetch, keeping active is vital for their wellbeing. Bottled-up energy will lead to unwanted behaviors like chewing up your furniture and with their golden retriever parent, goldichons thrive on activities. They will love playdates with other dogs, and mentally stimulating ways to spend their time such as obedience training or agility. They are also smart and eager to please, so make for great service and therapy dogs. Space Requirements The goldichon is highly adaptable because of its small size. Moderate energy requirements also make this mixed breed suitable for smaller living spaces, although they will enjoy a yard. Unlike their golden retriever parents, who need plenty of room to stretch their feet, goldichons are a perfect choice for apartment dwellers. Goldichon Temperament and Intelligence Goldichons are highly desirable pups, not just because they are incredibly gorgeous but are loyal and affectionate. They take after their golden retriever parents and are super mellow. After random bursts of energy, goldichons are perfectly content hanging out with you, making perfect lap dogs like the bichon frise. They are very sociable and get along with everyone and everything. They do this so well that they may forget their small size when around young children, possibly resulting in injuries. For this reason, be careful whenever a child is playing with your goldichon to keep him from getting hurt unintentionally. Goldichons are usually great with other pets and animals. Because of just how loving they are, you would do well to have playmates for them such as other dogs. On top of that, their low prey drive makes them suitable to be around small animals such as hamsters and bunnies. Pups with social anxiety indulge in behaviors like chewing on furniture. Other than that, they are just happy, extroverted pups bound to wriggle into the hardest of hearts. Even if all you want is to shower your beloved pooch with love, it is important not to shelter them from the world. Doing so could lead to improper socialization and excessive emotional dependence on the owner, which can be extremely stressful to the dog. Early socialization and training are vital for a well-adjusted golden frise. Intelligence Having intelligent breeds as parents, goldichons rank high on the intelligence scale. It is quite easy to train these pups because, being golden retriever descendants, they are eager to please. Their bichon frise lineage makes them extra devoted to their owners. If your goldichon took after the bichon frise, he may have more of an independence streak but will still take to learning easily with positive reinforcement. Goldichon Health and Lifespan Goldichons live for 12 to 15 years and typically have a healthy life but there are a few diseases that they may be predisposed to. These conditions are mostly seen in their parent breeds. This likelihood could, unfortunately, be passed down to the golden frise. For this reason, dental issues are likely to come up, making it important to brush their teeth often. This trait is sometimes passed down to the goldichon and their soft mouths are excellent in case your hand accidentally ends up in one. As a result, they have a gentle disposition and only want to please you. This mixed breed dog will only bark to catch your attention every once in a while. They are just too nice for that job and would probably play with an intruder instead of alerting you. Watchdogs need to be suspicious of new faces and goldichons tend to love everybody. Is Goldichon the Right Breed for You? The answer to that question, of course, depends on a variety of factors. In general, you should get a goldichon if: You are home a lot of the time: Due to the bichon frise lineage, goldichons can develop serious separation anxiety. This results in deep feelings of anxiety in your dog when left alone for long periods. You live in an apartment or have limited space: As small dogs, goldichons are suitable for owners who live in apartments. Large breeds need plenty of space to move about to channel their energy. Bottled-up energy is a recipe for disaster so expect chewed furniture and shoes if your dog is understimulated. A daily walk and a few minutes of playtime and training are sufficient for this little champ to prevent boredom by promoting mental stimulation. Summary The goldichon is an ideal choice for a pet companion and is suited to newbie dog owners. These are good family dogs, as well as great companions for single adults who are retired or work from home. They have moderate grooming and exercise needs and can adapt to smaller spaces.

But there are some caveats you should fully understand before bringing one into your life.

And they have some of the gentlest touches and mouths out of any dog breed. Bichon Frises have distinct individual personalities that are absolutely charming and captivating. Your Goldichon will develop their own little unique quirks that make them even more loveable than thought possible. Are These Dogs Good for Families? The Goldichon is a super-affectionate and loving dog that will do anything to make their families happy. Goldichons have immense patience with kids and will oblige them almost indefinitely. And they can be injured if a young child gets way too rough with them. In fact, they make for terrible watchdogs. This will allow them to get along with even the smallest of other pets including rabbits, hamsters, and even birds. Goldichons will even try to befriend the family cat—provided Whiskers is willing to accept the challenge. A post shared by Phoenix Mortimer phoenixthegoldichon Things to Know When Owning a Goldichon: One of the joys of owning a Goldichon is knowing just how simple they can be to properly care for. This they get from their Golden side. Golden Retrievers need plenty of exercises to keep them stimulated. However, the Bichon Frise does not. Both parent lineages are exceptionally intelligent dog breeds capable of performing many tricks and following even complex commands. However, the Bichon Frise can have an independent streak whereas the Golden is always eager to please. The Goldichon can take on one of these personas or even a combo of the two. Either way, once training begins, your Goldichon will catch on very quickly. They fall somewhere in the middle. In fact, their unique coat helps to make them hypoallergenic to all except for the worst allergy sufferers. They need to be brushed twice weekly at a minimum in order to keep them mat and dinge free. We also recommend having them clipped once a month to keep their coats nice and healthy. Once every other month should do the trick.

Take her to a professional for clipping every four to six weeks or so, and bathe her every other month to lock in that healthy glow. If you don't have a reaction near a Goldichon, then you're not allergic — that's the only true way to know for sure. Exercise Goldens need regular exercise, but Goldichons do not. This is a plus if you don't have the time or energy to regularly exercise your pet. Of course, you should still take your Goldichon out occasionally for fresh air and to socialize with other people and animals. A short daily walk should do a world of good — for both of you! Finding the Perfect Goldichon That's it — it's settled. You want a Goldichon puppy…but how do you go about getting one? You essentially have two options when it comes to finding a Goldichon for sale: buy one from a breeder, or adopt one through your local rescue or adoption agency. There are several pros and cons for each of these avenues. Let's explore some of them together. Goldichon Puppies for Sale The average Goldichon price varies quite a bit, depending on who you buy from. So, how do you know how much is too much? Or too little? You can probably gauge what to pay based on the prices breeders charge for each breed. Goldichon Adoption and Rescue If you would like to adopt a Goldichon, the first thing you should know is that your odds are high of getting an adult dog. This is because people start out with the best of intentions but may not be able to care for the dog for the entirety of her life. I know you probably want a puppy so you can start fresh, but hear me out. There are some serious pros to adopting an adult dog. For one thing, someone along the line has probably trained her, so she already knows not to pee on the rug. Plus, she's older, so she's less likely to chew your prized possessions. However, I would be doing you a disservice to not let you know there are serious cons, too. For instance, shelters do not always in fact, mostly never know the dog's history. This means you could end up with a sick dog, or with a dog who is not the mix you think it is. In fact, the dog may have many breeds in her mix, and it's truly a crapshoot the kind of dog you end up bringing home. This is not to say that dogs up for adoption are bad, but you also have to be prepared to deal with any unfavorable traits you may end up with. If the shelter or rescue group you're contacting does not have any Goldichons at the moment, you can always put your name on a list. That way, when one comes in, they know to call you and have you come in for a visit. Municipal adoptions charge a lower fee than private rescue groups do. Either way, both are still less expensive than going through a breeder — plus you get to give a homeless dog a loving home. Goldichon Breeders The Goldichon is a rare breed in the U. But be patient and do your research, so as not to inadvertently give your money to an unethical breeder or worse: a puppy mill. One thing you should never do is purchase Goldichon puppies over the internet or from a pet store. These are the surest ways to both fund puppy mills and get a dog who may be sick or have other problems. If you can, try to get a referral for a good breeder from a dog show or even a sporting event. You can then make an appointment to meet with the breeder in person. But, before you do that, you should check the breeder out online. See what others have to say about their interactions with that breeder. When you get to the breeder's home, make sure the breeder is keeping her dogs are in a safe and clean environment. You can also talk with the breeder about the breed in general, including the medical conditions that can affect the breed and whether her pups have any of them. Ask to see the medical records for the pup's parents too, while you're at it. A good Goldichon breeder will probably ask you to agree to neuter your puppy once she reaches the appropriate age. She will also ask you to bring the puppy back to her if it turns out you're not a good match. Despite the fact that Goldichons have Golden Retriever lineage, their size runs on the small side. Goldichons also take after their Golden Retriever parents in that they love children. However, their smaller Bichon size requires you to supervise children when they play together. Don't helicopter-parent your Goldichon, though. Her Bichon side may lead her to develop a diva-like personality, leaving her shy or fearful when her protectors aren't around. This is easy to prevent, though, if you keep in mind that the Goldichon can fend for herself. In most situations, you just need to keep an eye on things and not involve yourself in the situation. Like both of her parents, the Goldichon is smart. While this can make her easy to train, her stubbornness may sometimes get in the way, too. Remain firm and consistent, and she will come to realize that you are her pack leader. Reward her when she does well with plenty of treats, pettings, and smooches. Or you can check out each Bichon mix directly by clicking on the links below:. They do well on a high-quality diet that you might feed any other dog. Ensure any food you select is certified by the AAFCO, which regulates the nutritional content of dog food. That said, these dogs may be prone to overeating and obesity. Do not free feed. If your dog becomes overweight, speak to your vet and switch to a diet dog food. These foods contain the nutrients your dog needs in fewer calories. Therefore, they help ensure your dog gets all the nutrition they need while still helping them lose weight. Some of these dogs may have special dietary needs or preferences. You may need to adjust their diet based on this. You should plan on providing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day to keep them happy and healthy. They enjoy just about any kind of exercise as long as it is with their owner. Walking, hiking, swimming, fetching, and agility are all great ways to help them meet their exercise needs. These canines are also very sociable, so dog parks work well. They can adapt to just about any living situation including apartments. However, you should plan on giving them room to run at least once a day. Be careful not to overexercise or underexercise these canines, as this can cause health and behavioral problems.

These canines can learn a variety of tricks with relative ease. You can expect them to understand a variety of different words beyond training, too. The Goldichon should be trained from an early age to establish good manners and habits. They should be socialized with other pets and people, especially children, to prevent shyness or aggression. While they are naturally friendly, socialization is still important. Because they are intelligent, these dogs also get bored very easily. The amount and type of grooming they require will vary with it. They often have fluffy coats that require regular brushing. They may shed a lot or not at all. Brushing will help reduce shedding. You can plan on brushing at least every 2—4 days. Some dogs may need more than this, though. Many Bichon Frise Golden Retriever mixes also need professional clipping and trimming. Their fur may continuously grow, requiring a trim every 1—2 months. You can learn to do this yourself with the right tools or have a professional do it. This is an added cost that you should keep in mind. They may need to be cleaned with a special ear-cleaning solution recommended by your vet. A post shared by Toby McFluffy Tan toby. They can live up to 15 years for this reason and are considered one of the healthiest dog breeds. They may also be prone to hip dysplasia, allergies, ear infections, and eye problems.

video of labradoodle puppies - Articles If you want a cute and adorable dog that packs a prominent personality and cheerful attitude in a tiny body, you should definitely consider getting yourself a Teacup Poodle. The Teacup Poodle is a purebred Poodle that has been deliberately and selectively bred to create a Poodle that is very small in size. Teacup Poodles have the appearance, behavior and temperament of the Standard Poodle, but in a much smaller body. Before bringing the Teacup Poodle home, it is important to know what to expect with this tiny fido, particularly when it comes to caring for one. Do Teacup Poodles Stay Small? The defining characteristic of Teacup Poodles is their very tiny size, even smaller than Toy Poodles. At the time of birth, Teacup Poodles weigh just 2 lbs. After reaching full maturity, the Teacup Poodle stands at no more than 9 inches at the withers, while weighing less than 7 lbs. Appearance Like Standard Poodles, Teacup Poodles are characterized by a round head with a slight stop, droopy ears and a long muzzle. They have small and dark but very alert eyes, a long neck, a deep chest, a square body with a straight back, and long, muscular legs. Coat One of the most distinguishing features of all Poodles, including Teacup Poodles, is their coat. Teacup Poodles typically have coats covered with long hair, instead of fur. This long hair gives them the appearance of a fluffy doll. The coat of Teacup Poodles can have various textures, from soft and wavy to coarse and wooly. Teacup Poodles are healthy little dogs, and with the right kind of care, they can have a life expectancy of about 12 to 15 years. Some have even lived to the ripe old age of 18 years. Despite the long life expectancy, there are some common health issues that affect Teacup Poodles, including… Luxating Patella Luxating patella is a condition that is very common to Teacup Poodles. This condition occurs when the kneecap patella gets dislocated from its normal position. A luxating patella is a painful condition that makes movement very difficult for your canine buddy. Dental Issues Teacup Poodles are also highly vulnerable to various dental issues, usually caused by the accumulation of tartar on the teeth. These include gingivitis, tooth infections, tooth decay, and tooth loss. Do Teacup Poodles Smell? Teacup Poodles do not generally have a bad smell. If your Teacup Poodle has a bad odor, this is either a sign that they need a bath, or that they have a skin infection. So, how much do you feed a teacup puppy? This food should, however, be divided into multiple servings. Teacup Poodles also tend to have sensitive stomachs, and therefore, you should avoid feeding them food that is rich in cholesterol or fats. These foods have low fat content and contain lean proteins that are great for doggies with sensitive stomachs. Aside from good food, you should also invest in dental water additives to keep dental problems away, and multivitamin supplements for better health and nutrition. Teacup Poodles can get enough exercise just by running around the house, without much risk to themselves or your home furnishings. You can supplement the exercise they get indoors with short walks. A minute walk per day is enough to keep a Teacup Poodle in good physical condition. Temperaments Of Teacup Poodles Personality Like Standard Poodles, Teacup Poodles are very loyal and devoted to their favorite humans, which makes them very good companion dogs. These tiny dogs are very good at forming deep bonds and will never want to leave your side, opting instead to follow you all over the house as you go about your chores. Unfortunately, their tendency to be very close to people they love can also be a disadvantage. Teacup Poodles are not very good with handling loneliness, and will develop destructive behaviors if left alone for long periods, such as barking and chewing at furniture and other household items. Teacup Poodles are generally not an aggressive breed, and if properly socialized, they will get along well with other pets, including cats and dogs.

However, their excessive barking can also be a great cause of annoyance and irritation, particularly for your neighbors if you live in an apartment.

Giving them a bath once every month is enough to keep them clean and healthy. Micro Teacup Poodles will cost you even more. The high price can be attributed to the small litter sizes, and because Teacup Poodles require very careful breeding. However, the price of acquiring a Teacup Poodle will be lower if you choose to adopt from a shelter. Are Teacup Dogs Unhealthy? Teacup dogs are not unhealthier compared to standard dogs. Many teacup dogs live long and healthy lives, with Teacup Poodles being a great example. That said, some teacup dogs are prone to conditions like hypoglycemia, especially when they are puppies. Generally, the health of teacup dogs will largely depend on the general health of their parents. The difference between a toy and a teacup dog lies in their size. Toy dogs are those that fall below 12 inches in height, while teacup dogs fall below 9 inches in height. This means that teacup dogs can also fall under the toy dog category. However, most teacup dogs are not officially recognized by kennel clubs. Teacup puppies should be fed a diet rich in fiber. Look for canned or dry foods that contain ingredients like eggs, chicken, fruits, veggies, and omega 3 fatty acids. Also, make sure the dog food you choose contains Karo syrup. Teacup puppies are prone to low blood sugar and this ingredient can help counteract that. They may have suggestions based on your puppy's specific breed. The label of your chosen food should have feeding instructions that let you know how much a puppy should get each day, but also be sure to discuss this with your veterinarian. Teacup puppies tend to play hard. They tend to feel very tired after activity, especially strenuous play. If your puppy is falling asleep, it is important you give it time to rest. After playing with your puppy, place it in its bed. Leave the puppy alone and let it rest for a few hours. Teacup puppies need about 14 hours of sleep a day. Limit playtime to hour long sessions to keep your puppy rested. Teacup puppies are like any other dog in that they need fresh water available at all times. Make sure to provide a water bowl that your puppy can reach easily. Refill the water bowl each time you notice the water is murky or running low. As teacup puppies are small, carefully choose the size of the water bowl. Make sure it's short enough that your puppy can drink from it. You should start training a puppy right away so it learns good behavior. Many owners ignore negative behaviors from very small animals, as small dogs cannot cause as much damage. However, you want your puppy to be well behaved so make sure to discipline it for doing things like chewing household objects, unwanted barking, going to the bathroom inside, and being aggressive towards people or other animals. If you are consistent, your teacup puppy will eventually learn which behaviors are inappropriate. You should not scold, yell at, or isolate a teacup puppy as punishment. This is ineffective and will only create stress. How often you need to groom your puppy depends on its age. Shorthaired teacup breeds, like some chihuahuas, will not need grooming as often as longhaired breeds like Yorkshire terriers and toy poodles. You should also carefully clip out any matted fur during the brushing process. Plan for regular, professional groomings during the life of your longhaired teacup puppy. Short haired puppies only need a light brushing on occasion. Proper care for the Poodle will involve many aspects that will all work in combination to maintain excellent health and promote learning and good behavioral habits. It is important to establish a foundation of proper care during the puppy stage that will carry over throughout the Poodle's life. We will discuss: The items that you should have to care for a Poodle puppy Details on the 5 most important tips for proper care - Feeding, house training, offering the right amount of exercise, grooming and how to offer a healthy environment. Toy Poodles and Mini's will be puppies for the 1st year; standards mature at a somewhat slower rate and are considered to be puppies until the age of 2 years old. During this time, much care is needed for both physical growth and mental development. Bringing your new Poodle home is not as simple as just picking up your new family member from the breeder. Good care involves planning ahead. It helps to have all needed items well in advance so that you can focus on the puppy without having to rush out for a needed supply items. One of the most important elements to be aware of is that no matter what the puppy has been fed since he or she began eating solid food, you should have the exact same brand on hand. Quickly switching foods can cause upset stomach and other issues…and in the case of a puppy it can be the cause of hypoglycemia. A slow change must be made. If you opt to go with a different brand or to home cook, have enough of the 'old' food on hand for several weeks, as well as the 'new' so that that you can make gradual changeover. A quality dog bed — A new puppy will feel stress going to even the best of new homes. This is why making sure that you have a nice, soft, comfortable dog bed is important. You should show your Poodle that this is the area in which he can rest, sleep or just get away from noise when things seem to overwhelming. If you will be leaving your puppy home alone during the day, it is best to have the bed placed in the area where he will be staying. A gated off section of a room or inside a canine playpen works well. The entrance to this can be left open when you are home with your puppy can of course, closed off when you are away. In this way, the puppy will become accustomed to the area. If you will be home with your puppy, place this in the corner of room that is frequently used but not chaotic. Dogs like to have their own quiet spot, but not feel isolated. Walking and ID accessories — Along with a retractable leash and a collar for ID purposes, it is highly recommended to have a harness for your puppy. Toy Poodles no matter what the age and all Mini and Standard puppies should have on a harness and not a collar when they are on a leash. When a leash is connected to a dog collar, this can create too much tension on the neck, which can cause collapsed trachea. The trachea windpipe is protected by rings of cartilage…when this happens, those rings collapse in, causing pain and breathing problems. These can be purchased at a pet supply store and come in many unique and interesting designs so that your Poodle always looks stylish. If you are not sure which harness would be best for your Poodle puppy, you may wish to look to both 'Accessories' and 'Clothing- Harness' in the Poodle Specialty Shoppe. A Car Safety Seat - Long ago cars did not even have seat belts for humans. But now, of course, we all know how many lives they save. The very same is true for dogs. Even if you are a conscientious driver, you cannot be in control of those who are driving near you. Be sure to secure your Poodle into a canine car safety seat. All it takes is 1 second of you having to quickly brake for your Poodle to go sliding off of the seat, completely unprotected. These are also great for dogs that are prone to car sickness. A raised booster seat will assist a puppy in being able to look out of the window which reduces motion sickness. However, choosing high quality toys that can stand up to continual chewing and hold a puppy's interest is better. Puppies are full of energy and filled with curiosity; having a good supply of toys at all times will be very helpful. Puppies that are in the teething phase will be experiencing discomfort and teething toys will help to sooth sore gums and offer a chewing outlet See also: Poodle teething Grooming Supplies - Poodle care certainly involves proper grooming. This includes nails, dewclaws, bathes, drying, wrapping, trimming, clipping and topknots. See also: Bathing a Poodle Clothes - Particularly for tiny toy Poodles, protection against the elements should be implemented as needed. During cold, icy winters the use of canine shoes or paw wax helps protect paw pads from ice melt chemicals and aids with traction. A sweater or cute vest can keep a small Poodle puppy from becoming chilled. During hot months, shoes help protect sensitive paws from hot surfaces. Bowls - Plastic bowls often contain heavy dyes that can cause staining on a Poodle's coat. In addition, tiny scratches that easily develop in plastic bowls can also harbor dangerous bacteria. It is best to use stainless steel or ceramic bowls for both food and water. Dishes should shallow so that a puppy can easily reach both food and water without bumping their heads or straining to reach. Toys and Mini's may like raised bowls. However, Standards - who are prone to bloat- should only eat and drink from bowls that are at floor level. Free feed until 3 months old leaving food out at all times and then give your puppy 3 meals per day plus healthy snacks. Please choose your food wisely; cheaper foods with fillers will not offer the proper nutrition needed to aid with the rapid growth that is associated with the puppy phase. You will find that if you reserve snacks and treats as rewards for training, housebreaking and command training will go smoother.

If your Poodle puppy will be expected to use an outdoor area, do not focus too much on indoor training when the pup is home along, since it is difficult for puppies to learn 2 different methods. Do keep in mind that young puppies should not be over-exercised since it can interfere with growth plate development; however a daily 20 to 30 minute per walk is perfect. Walks allow a puppy to release pent up energy, it expands their view of the world and is a good staring point for socialization techniques and learning proper heeling.

One of the most important elements of Poodle care is to offer a loving, safe environment. Puppies and dogs are sensitive to their owner's moods and the atmosphere of the house in general. Puppies can become easily stressed in noisy, chaotic homes. Puppies should be given a designated area to retreat and rest if feeling overwhelmed. Often, a gated off area that is secured when a pup is home alone, but the entrance is open when owners are home works best. Speak to your pup in a pleasant voice and remember that positive reinforcement for good behavior works much better than scolding for bad behavior. Take time to puppy proof the home, clearing the floors of any small items and stowing away shoes and other objects to higher ground. This should be done before bringing a puppy home but also on a regular basis.

The main idea to keep in mind in regards to exercising these tiny dogs is safety! It's recommended that you exercise your Teacup indoors--but if you must be outside, you'll need to closely supervise your fragile little dog at every moment. Since this lively breed will fulfill much of its daily activity needs just running around being its busy-bodied self, Teacup Poodles will be fine with only minutes of exercise per day; this you can accomplish with a couple of short walks and a brief play period. And you can start exercising your Teacup puppy at about 10 weeks of age by taking it on very short 5-minute walks around the living room or den--then you can increase the walks' length and frequency as the puppy grows. Some obvious precautions will need to be taken, though, when exercising your Teacup Poodle. First and foremost is that these minuscule dogs are extremely delicate, and can be injured by something as simple as a hard jerk on a leash. Puppies younger than seven months old shouldn't be taxed too much, and shouldn't jump, run, or climb stairs very often; doing so can cause serious injury. If you do walk your Teacup Poodle outdoors, use of a leash is a must. These dogs can be hurt easily, and are in danger of being harmed if they run off--but be sure to use the leash gently, and use a slow walking pace to ensure the dog can keep up with you! And finally: Teacup Poodles are very loyal and form strong bonds with their human owners, so they'll respond much better to exercises you perform together. Safeguards aside, you'll want to exercise your Teacup Poodle a little bit every single day. These little dogs already tend to be fussy and high-strung, and a lack of activity will make those issues much more prevalent. Even if it's a walk around the yard and a brief game of Fetch the Toy in the living room, try to make your Teacup move some--both you and the dog will be better for it! Here are a few exercise ideas: Walking: Two minute walks per day indoors or out is a good target Fetch: Can be as simple as throwing a toy around the living room Hide-and-Seek: Give the dog a treat when it finds you Yard Romp: Take your Teacup into your fenced yard for some horseplay Blowing Bubbles: Your Teacup Poodle will love "attacking" the bubbles you blow It's a good idea to always give your Teacup Poodle access to several balls and toys that will allow the dog to burn excess energy--which, chances are, it'll have plenty of! If possible, it's also good to exercise the dog at the same time every day, such as walks after breakfast and dinner and a play period in the afternoon. Teacup Poodle Maintenance In terms of shedding and drooling, these dogs need little care. Toy Poodle shedding is minimal, and drooling practically never happens. Poodle coats are tightly curled and medium in length--and one of the breed's best qualities is that Teacups, like the Mini, Standard, and Toy Poodle, shed very little. Owners won't need to bother with much hair cleanup, though they will need to groom their Teacups frequently to avoid tangles and mats. And Teacup Poodles hardly ever drool. If your Teacup is drooling excessively, it's probably a sign of a medical issue, in which case a veterinarian's care is necessary. Teacup Poodle Diet The Toy Poodle diet, like every breed, will need to include food that has plenty of animal proteins and carbohydrates for energy, vitamins and minerals for digestive and immune health, and omega fatty acids for coat and skin wellness. Premium dry food, wet or canned food, and fresh meats and vegetables are all acceptable Toy Poodle food--but make sure to feed your Teacup often, as these tiny dogs are prone to hypoglycemia low blood sugar if not fed frequently. But how much to feed a Toy Poodle? As you can probably guess, it won't be much! Toy Poodle puppy food portions are even smaller: a five-month-old Teacup, for example, will only need pieces of dry kibble per meal--but these pups will need to be fed four times a day not three until they mature. For further details on feeding these little dogs from puppyhood through maturity, refer to this Toy Poodle feeding guide and for simplicity, dry food portions are listed : Teacup Poodle Feeding Chart.

Teacup Poodle Appearance They are one of the most adorable dogs around. They look like shrunken poodles and have thick, curly fur with big dark eyes. Height and Weight They are one of the smallest dog breeds and will weigh lbs. From their paws to the top of their shoulders they are only inches tall. These tiny pups can typically fit in the palm of an adult hand. Colors and Coat These Teacups come in a variety of colors including white, grey, black, red, brindle, silver and apricot. Some have spots of various other colors in their coats, but breeders typically prefer solid coat colors. They have thick medium length curls just like that of a Poodle. These curls are silky and sometimes difficult to maintain and can quickly develop knots in their fur if they are not frequently brushed. The best perk of owning a Teacup Poodle is that they do not shed. They are great for people with allergies because they are hypoallergenic. Their dead fur comes off but it stays trapped within their tight curls, only falling out during brushing. Solid colored varieties are more expensive because they are considered more desirable. They absolutely adore water, but do not let them go swimming in deep water — they are so small they could easily drown. Some people believe they are produced by breeding runts from Toy Poodle litters to produce the smallest version of a poodle possible. They have a very small litter size of puppies. Teacup Poodle Personality and Temperament If you are looking for a playful and cuddly dog, a Teacup Poodle is a great choice. They love attention and always want to be close to you. They get so attached to their owner tat they suffer from separation anxiety, so you cannot really leave them home for long periods of time by itself. Their attention-seeking disposition does make them very loyal though. These pups are extremely playful but play with caution. Rough play can result in unanticipated injuries internally and externally. Whilst playing make sure to be extra gentle and not get too rowdy. Although these pooches are very playful they only have a moderate activity level. If you are not an active person they could be a good fit for you. Their tiny bodies can only contain so much energy, so they do not need as much exercise as large dog breeds. A few short walks and a small amount of playtime will keep them happy. They have a watchdog nature despite having the least intimidating appearance of any dog breed in existence so sometimes they will bark excessively if they are not trained. Because of their intelligence this issue is fairly easy to correct. Due to their pleasant disposition socialization comes naturally to these pups. They love to meet new people and adore attention. They get along well with other animals but keep them away from large pets to avoid injuries. Teacup Poodles are only a good family dog for older families. Younger children can often be too chaotic for these nervous pups — also little kids can not quite comprehend how much caution needs to be taken with these tiny pups. Caring for a Teacup Poodle Do not let their cute face fool you, they require constant care. These pups are definitely not for first-time dog owners. Teacup Poodles have tricky coats to maintain and need to be constantly supervised. They also have some diet restrictions and come with many medical conditions. Luckily though these pups do not require much exercise. Exercise Requirements They have a moderate energy level so they do not need an excessive amount of exercise per day. Two minute walks a day along with minutes of playing should be enough. Exercising them can be a bit tricky because they are so incredibly fragile. Their small bodies make long walks, playing outside, and even running around dangerous. With the right precautions you can easily tire them out. It is important you use a harness when you walk them. Because they have such a small neck, a simple tug of a leash can cause severe injuries to your pup if they are wearing a regular collar. You can take them outside but you need to monitor them very closely. They can easily jump off heights and injure themselves, squeeze under fences, or even become easy prey for coyotes or large birds. Never take your eye off one of these small pups. Number of Walks Per Day: 2. Grooming and Shedding The grooming is probably the most complex aspect of these adorable dogs. Teacup Poodles have the same curly, medium length, thick coats that regular poodles have. The perk of these springy curls is that they do not shed — but that does not mean that taking care of their fur is easy. They should be brushed every single day. Their tight curls can easily become matted or tangled, so it is essential that you brush them often to remove dead hair from their coats. Because they have small curls, you cannot brush them exactly like you would brush other dog breeds. It is recommended that you wet their hair with a spray bottle before brushing to avoid pain for your breakable pup and help you brush with ease. Finally, the last part of their extensive grooming routine is monitoring their tear stains. It is very common to see brown gunk below the inner corner of their eyes. To reduce tear stains you can purchase tear stain remover. Feeding and Diet As these pups are so small it is very easy to overfeed them. These little guys can quickly become a little chunky. Feeding them multiple times a day is especially important to avoid your pal developing low blood sugar. Any type of food wet or dry will work, but it is best to buy dog food that is made specifically for small dog breeds, this will help keep those extra pounds off your pup. It is also important to purchase a food that is high in proteins to give your miniature Teacup Poodle the energy it needs to maintain its playful personality. Although you may be tempted to feed them the remainder of your dinner, it is very important that you resist this urge. Avoid feeding them human scraps as it will quickly lead to obesity. No doubt that all pets are adorable and worthy of all the love that you give to them. However, it is also true that everyone has their preferences based on their personality. In this blog, I am particularly going to throw light on the things that you need to know if you are planning to get a teacup poodle as your pet.
