bernedoodle puppy training
We got Miley when she was a baby from a rescue shelter in my town. At the time we were looking for a dog that wouldn't grow to big and possible had a bit of a Labrador in her as we have ad Labradors in the past so we were delight when we were shown Miley. She was this tiny golden Labrador and we fell in love with her straight away and we took her home that day, we were also told we didnt no what she was crossed with. As time went on Miley started to get bigger and her tail started to get Longer and her nose got longer and one day it clicked with me, "My dog looks like a greyhound" So i got onto the internet and done some research and the more i looked into it the more she was like a lurcher and only had the colour of a ladrador. Food - I have swapped and changed that many food with miley i could set up my own food shop for dogs. I now have her on this dog food and she is getting fed g of it a day and its broken down into 3 meals, 3 times daily. So i am now at a stage where i dont know what else to try her on or if im feeding her the wrong food and how to stop the runny poos and farting. Jumping - Miley is a dog that gets very excited very easily and she will jump all over you for about 20 minutes and nutting will calm her down. The problem is because she is so big, shes jumping on guests that come into the house, on small children, om me and my partner and she actually hurts you and i don't know how may of my tops have holes in them from her nails ripping them. We have tried bringing her out of the house on a lead for 5 or 10 minutes to get her to calm down but she will choke herself and almost make herself sick to just jump all over you. If anyone has any advise on how to stop this i would be grateful. Barking- Miley barks at almost everything, People walking by the house, when some one calls to the house, if she hears a noise like the door bell or a knock on the door, she starts and its a real loud treating bark, we have gave out to her every time she does it and let he know its wrong but she still does it. We are considering a bark collar for her but im not to keen on then We have to do something to get her to stop because the neighbors are complaining a bit her barking non stop. So can some please help me with this 4. Obedience- I have done the basic training with miley, sit,stay, down etc and she can do these very well but she will not come back to me or my partner if we call her she will just keep running until she is ready to pass out so because of this we can not let her out the back garden on her own because we live out the country and there is a lot of farm animals around and rabbits etc ans when she see ones shes goes for them and will not come back and i am afraid if she gets loose a farmer will just shoot her for going after his stock.

Breeders developed this breed centuries ago to help hunters spot small game animals like rabbits , and chase them down at a high speed. This sport is known as coursing. After this, Greyhounds became a common sight in dog racing sports. The Greyhound is often still used in this controversial sport. The Lab is a Retriever-type dog and belongs to the Sporting group. It was first bred in Canada to be a working dog for coastal fisherman. Wildfowl hunters used the Lab as a retrieving dog. Travelling noblemen brought Labrador ancestors across to Britain, where they continued to refine the breed. But there is no guaranteed Greyador appearance. Mixed breed dogs can inherit the physical characteristics of either parent breed. Some Greyhound Lab mixes can look more like Labs and some more like Greyhounds. The most accurate way to predict is to look at the two parent dogs. Greyador Size How big is the average Greyhound Lab cross? Greyhound males weigh between pounds. Females are pounds. The average male Labrador Retriever is pounds; female Labs are pounds. Expect your full grown Greyador to weigh between pounds for males and pounds for females. While Labs weigh more than Greyhounds, the Greyhound is generally taller than the Lab. An adult male Greyhound can be 30 inches in height at the withers, while the tallest Lab tends to be under 25 inches in height. Size ranges for the Greyador are broad, which is typical for mixed breed dogs. Your dog can inherit features from either breed. General Appearance The general appearance of a Greyador will be an unpredictable mix of the two parent breeds. From the long, slim head to the deep chest and narrow waist of a long-distance runner. But, Labs can look stockier, with a general strong and athletic appearance. Compared to the Greyhound, Labs have broad features, including their heads and tails. Coat Type and Colors Many potential owners of Greyhound Lab mix pups are interested in learning about the possible coat colors and textures of this mixed breed, including the amount of shedding to expect. Labs have a double coat consisting of a short dense top coat and a soft thick undercoat. The undercoat sheds in warm weather. Greyhounds have a smooth, short coat. The Greyador coat is usually dense, smooth, and short in length. What About Coat Color? Many potential owners are interested in specific colors like the black Lab Greyhound mix, yellow Lab Greyhound mix, or chocolate Lab Greyhound mix. Solid black, yellow, and chocolate are the only officially recognized Lab colors. The Greyhound has a much wider range of accepted colors and markings. They can be many different colors, both solid and brindle. A lot of Greyhounds are white with colored markings parti-colored. Greyhound Lab mixes have more variety in color than Labs, because the Greyhound is so varied in color. Your Greyhound Lab mix can be solid or brindle, or parti-colored as well. Possible Greyador colors include silver, blue, grey, brown, black, red, and fawn. When browsing pictures of Greyhound Lab mix pups online, you will notice a lot of black or mostly black dogs. The black Lab and Greyhound mix is an especially popular cross breed, but many colors and markings are possible. Greyhound Lab Mix Temperament Just like their appearance, the temperament of all mixed breed dogs can be any combination of the traits of either parent breed. Every dog is an individual, and training and socialization play a larger role than breeding in giving you the kind of dog you want. While Greyhounds tend to be somewhat quiet, sensitive, and gentle, Labs have a reputation for being active and friendly. Labs are always eager to please and ready to play. The lovable Lab personality is legendary. Sighthounds like the Greyhound are generally calm and independent dogs. While some Sighthound breeds have aloof personalities to match their noble looks, Greyhounds are famously sweet-tempered and affectionate. Natural Instincts One important personality trait to be aware of in Greyhounds and Greyhound mixes is their strong prey drive. They were bred to hunt small game using sight and speed. So all Greyhounds should be tested for prey drive before being introduced into homes with small animals like cats. Retriever breeds like Labs are part of the Sporting dog breed group, along with other active and amicable breeds like Spaniels, Setters, and Pointers. Although it could equally have one or the other extreme. You can generally expect a friendly and non-aggressive dog, especially with proper training from an early age. Be sure to supervise your dog around children. From the time you bring your puppy home until the age of 16 weeks, you should introduce them to as many new things as possible. This includes people, places, animals, vehicles, and more. Anything that your dog may interact with as an adult. For Greyador puppies, there should be a particular emphasis on small animals and very young children. Socializing puppies can reduce aggression and fearfulness in adult dogs of any breed. Training and Exercising your Greyador Both Labrador parents and Greyhound parent breeds are intelligent and athletic dogs. So, they will benefit from regular exercise and training. Labs and Greyhounds have histories as sporting and working dogs. Their mixed puppies will need plenty of exercise each day, including time to run off leash. Because of the risk of a strong prey instinct, you will need to find a safe, enclosed area to allow this. Training can offer a small amount of exercise, as well as some much needed mental stimulation. The Lab parent must have good hip and elbow scores, be PRA clear and have an up to date eye test. As a minimum the Greyhound parent should be PRA clear and have no family history of polyneuropathy. Your mixed breed dog is not necessarily healthier than purebred dogs if the dog is bred from two purebred lines with known health problems. There are tests available for many common genetic conditions. Reputable breeders will share this important health information with clients. Greyador Life Expectancy Life expectancy for Greyhound Lab mix puppies will vary depending on their lifestyle, general care, and inherited health issues. To get a general idea, you can look at the average life expectancy of the two parent breeds. These are only averages. So, the parent breeds can live much longer than this. The Lab Greyhound mix can be a great pet for anyone interested in a loyal and affectionate canine companion. Both parent breeds of the Greyador have appealing personality traits. The best way to ensure that your dog is well socialized and well behaved is to start the training process as soon as you get your new Greyhound Lab mix puppy. Before you fall in love with an individual puppy, make sure you understand all the possible health conditions associated with both the Labrador Retriever and Greyhound breeds. A chase instinct is highly possible in this mixed breed. So, it may not be the best option for homes with other small pets. Owners must have the time to socialize and train them well from a young age. Shelter Dogs Is it possible to adopt a Greyador from an animal shelter or rescue organization? Most Greyhound rescue organizations work with purebred retired racing Greyhounds. You also may be able to find a Greyhound Lab mix that has been surrendered to an animal shelter. Most shelter pet search websites allow you to search available dogs by breed. Your Greyhound Lab Puppy Greyhound Lab Mix puppies are not as common as some other Lab mixes like the Labradoodle, so be patient and take your time researching reputable breeders. Reputable breeders are concerned about the overall health of the breeds of dog they work with and would not knowingly sell puppies afflicted with a serious medical condition. Getting a dog is a lifetime commitment, so be sure your new Greyhound Lab mix is as healthy as possible. The sturdy Lab and elegant Greyhound can combine into a beautiful medium sized dog with a short coat that can come in a variety of colors and patterns. Less experienced dog owners can benefit from formal training classes like puppy kindergarten so that their dogs get a good foundation from an early age. Labs are highly trainable, and Greyhounds are generally calm, all of which can be very helpful for new Lab Greyhound mix owners. Greyador Breeders Interested in acquiring your Greyhound Labrador mix puppy from a breeder? Here are a few common-sense tips to keep in mind as you begin your search. Be cautious of online ads for Greyadors or any designer mixed breed dog. Large scale, for profit breeding operations often referred to as puppy mills should be avoided. Since both Greyhounds and Labs are known to have some significant genetic health conditions, the best way to ensure that your puppy will be healthy is to work with a reputable breeder who will share health information with you. Remember that an unusually inexpensive puppy bought sight unseen may cost you much more in long term veterinary expenses than a pricier dog from a known breeder. Health Testing Labradors can be screened by x-ray for hip and elbow dysplasia. There are genetic tests available for certain heart and eye conditions, as well as centronuclear myopathy and exercise induced collapse. Greyhounds can also be tested for some of the serious genetic health conditions that are common in the breed. Genetic tests can tell breeders which of their dogs are unaffected, which are carriers of a disease, and which are affected by the disease. Chopped carrots or celery make great little healthy treats. Your vet can help you develop a care routine so that your pup can live the healthiest life possible. Greyadors are active dogs and also prone to weight gain. They should get a minute, brisk paced walk or hike every day. When it comes to food, look for a nutritious diet and stick to a feeding schedule. Your vet can help you create a dietary plan. Check their ears for debris and pests daily and clean them as recommended by your vet. They should not be clicking against the floor. Your groomer can help with this. These dogs are highly prone to tartar buildup. Everyday brushing is even better. Greyador Feeding An ideal Greyador diet should be formulated for an active, medium-to-large sized breed. Look for a high quality dog food from a pet food retailer to make sure that your dog is getting proper nutrition. Greyadors love food and have a tendency to gain weight quickly if they are overfed, so you should stick to a regular feeding schedule and not leave food out during the day. Limit their amount of treats, as well. The main colors of Greyadors are black, brown, white, tan, fawn, red, silver, blue, and brindle. Sometimes their coats are solid, and sometimes their coats are a blend of their parents coats and colors. They usually have medium-length, dense coats. Greyadors shed a lot and are not a good choice for allergy sufferers. They shed more than your average dog who sheds, so if you adopt a Greyador you may want to consider getting a robot vacuum. It can help, at least with your floors. These high shedding dogs will need their coats brushed every day. Bathe as needed with a mild shampoo. Greyador Children And Other Pets Their sweet and gentle temperament makes the Greyador an excellent companion for a family with children of all ages. They are tolerant and patient of small children and will usually walk away if they feel annoyed. No dog should ever be left unsupervised with a child. If a kid mistreats their own dog, chances are they will mistreat a dog who is not so tolerant of them. The Greyador can also get along well with other dogs. Though be careful with cats and other small animals. They may view them as game. Greyador Rescue Groups It may be hard to find a breed specific rescue for Greyadors because they are a mixed breed. However, you may want to try Greyhound or Labrador Retriever breed specific rescues, as they often care for mixes, as well. Here are some rescues you can try:. The chocolate lab greyhound mix combines the lean and athletic body of a sighthound with the muscular and sturdy body for a retriever. This means that the Lurcher is going to be leaner than a standard retriever but not as much as a greyhound. Exactly where between the two your dog is going to fall is a matter of chance. The head and muzzle of this crossbreed will also vary a bit. They can either be wider with hanging ears like a retriever or the head can be narrower and with rose ears like a greyhound. In terms of size, this mix will usually range between 20 and 27 inches in height at the shoulder 51 to 67,5 cm and between 50 to 80 pounds weight 23 to 36 kg. The coat will most likely be short and dense but soft with an even shorter undercoat. However, regular brushing several times a week should be enough to keep the dog hair in your to a minimum. A greyhound yellow lab mix will often have a bright yellow color, for example. Both greyhounds and Labradors are naturally friendly and lovable. However, Labradors tend to be much more outgoing and playful. The greyhound, on the other hand, is much more gentle and shy. So, a Greyador can have a varying personality — it will either be more introverted like a greyhound or more outgoing like a lab or somewhere in between. Still, proper socialization should make even the shyest lab greyhound mix social enough for any situation — more so than a purebred greyhound. Another cool thing about these dogs is that they are highly intelligent and are great problem solvers. They inherit that from both their parent breeds but especially from the Labrador. Like most hounds, however, Greyadors can be a bit stubborn at times. This makes diligent obedience training all the more important unless you want your dog to turn mischievous and disobedient. With enough research and preparation, even a rookie dog owner can manage this breed. You really have to go out of your way to turn such a mild-mannered dog aggressive. Even when disobedient, these dogs are lovable and affectionate and non-aggressive toward their owners. This mix gets along perfectly with all its family members, including kids of all ages and sizes, and other dogs. Cats and other small pets can be a problem, however, because of the inherent prey drive of all hound breeds. One downside of this affectionate nature is that separation anxiety is an issue, just like it is for both greyhounds and Labradors. So, if you live in a small household and everyone is always at work, this dog will grow to be anxious, depressed, disobedient, and destructive. In other words — these dogs need people around them almost non-stop. Given that both greyhounds and labs are very physically active, so is their mix. Ideally, they should be divided between two or three trips to the dog park. All that exercise should always be on a leash unless the dog park is fully fenced. The playtime should always be mentally engaging and not just a simple walk. Although, these dogs do make for amazing jogging partners. Both Labradors and greyhounds are very healthy breeds, at least when they are bred by reputable breeders and not in puppy mills. So, most Lurcher puppies should also be quite healthy. The few potential health problems you may want to watch out for are the same standard issues that are common for the two-parent breeds:.

Raised by a bundle of botanists, researchers, and biologists, she is passionate about things related to the animal kingdom, including, our furry friends. However, as a terrible allergy sufferer, she is limited in her pet selection and so has grown up surrounded by curly-haired Poodles. Leave a Comment. Aug 2, Share Are you a proud owner of a Goldendoodle? One of the things that makes a Goldendoodle so magnificent is their unique curly coats. There are many different styles out there that will fit your Goldendoodle and give them a personality all of their own. Goldendoodles have thick, dense coats which can be a total drag in the hot summer months. But their coats are going to be significantly shorter than normal. However, there are some huge advantages to this trim other than heat considerations. Most dogs look good with a puppy cut; however, the fluffy nature of their coats brings out their charm in this do. Like the kennel cut, this hairstyle is of uniform length all over their body. It also helps give your pup a youthful appearance no matter their age. Instead of uniformly trimming their face, the area around their snoot is a bit longer against the backdrop of the rest of their face. This gives them a unique, playful look. The puppy cut does have some added benefits besides just making your pooch cute as a button. The short length helps them to prevent mattes and tangles. However, it leaves enough hair to prevent them from completely freezing out when it gets colder. They are half-Poodle, after all! Poodle cuts can often come without warning as well. Even though you may have a specific hairstyle in mind, your groomer may think otherwise. With a Goldendoodle, mattes can run relatively deep due to their thick curly fur. This keeps your dog happy and mat-free without ruining their experience at the groomers. And with a Poodle cut, your pup will generally receive a clean low-cut face, back, belly, and sides. But the tops of their head, ears, tail, and legs can normally maintain a thicker, fluffy appearance as that where less matting will occur. While many Goldendoodle owners love the Poodle cut, others are less enthused by it. This particular hairstyling tends to make your dog look much older and elegant. Their legs are left a little longer and shaped for a puffier, rounder look. And while the lamb cut comes in at our most radical clip so far, the next style takes things to a whole new level. Lion Cut The lion cut is one of those Goldendoodle haircut styles that can set your dog apart from the rest. Normally given to smaller dogs such as the Pomeranian, the lion cut does exactly what it sounds like—makes your pooch look like a lion! This is done by recreating the shaggy mane of a lion and its signature pom tail. You can also customize the lion cut with specific details. It gives them a bit more body and the illusion of a more muscular stature. This style is achieved by giving your pup a kennel cut but leaving a fluffy mohawk that runs down their back starting from the top knot. You can have it run the width of their topknot; however, a common tactic is to shave the sides down and make it just a tad narrower. Is it going to end near their shoulder blades? Or go down their back a bit? The most fun part about a mohawk cut is the colors that you can choose to dye it! Sure, you can go without, and keep it their natural color. Dino Cut This is easily the most ridiculous Goldendoodle haircut styles on our list. The coat of the Goldendoodle seems almost too perfect for unique stylings such as this. Their dense coats allow for bold cuts and shaping. Just be careful when finding a stylist to do this type of cut. The full shave is exactly what it sounds like. From tip to tail, your Goldendoodle will be completely stripped of their coat. By giving your pup a full shave, you can remove all of those nasty mats and other coat clumps.

The head, face, ears, and tail can all be cut to a different length than the body if requested. The facial hair is cut in rounded, fringed layers.

Buying A Boxer Puppy? Finding Your Puppy -- Buying From the Breeder The conscientious breeder plans a breeding to reproduce the best characteristics of an outstanding sire or dam. His guide is the official AKC Standard of the breedthe written "blueprint" that helps keep the breed uniform for generations to come. You can find the breed standard, revised in , at the American Boxer Club website: www. The more common disappointments for pet purchasers come from commercial sources--especially pet shops that often buy puppies from the infamous "puppy mills" that take little notice of the quality or health they are producing. The pet store or dog broker will sell you a puppy with a breeder's name attached to the paperwork--but this puppy may easily have been born in a puppy mill. The reputable breeder, on the other hand, will not only be able to demonstrate the pedigree and registration papers, but will also show you either the sire or dam themselves, or pictures of the parent who may be owned elsewhere. Though the mere presence of "papers" does not guarantee good health, conformation, or temperament, you will most often find these attributes in the puppy who has been raised with loving care in the home or kennel of a conscientious hobby breeder. The serious breeder often strives to produce a potential "champion. Sometimes the distribution of white markings alone may make the difference between the so-called "pet" and show-potential puppy. The pet puppy will have benefited from the same proven bloodlines, nutrition, and medical care as its "champion" littermate. His breeder will have health tested the parents and done the best he can to insure good temperament, soundness, and longevity. Here is your best buy. Boxer magazines publish ads from breeders. The American Boxer Club web site www. Usually any time after weeks. Many states have regulations regarding minimum age. However, your individual circumstances must be considered. Do you have the time to spend with a very young puppy? Will someone be home to housebreak him? Would an exuberant 6-month old puppy overwhelm a tiny child? Or would he be better matched with a 6-year-old youngster? Remember too that the puppy under 3 months needs lots of time to rest. Don't forget that adult dogs, already trained, also make ideal pets. While much can be told at six to eight weeks about the puppy's eventual looks, if you are seeking a show prospect you might be better off waiting until the pup is six to eight months of age. At that time, be prepared to pay a higher price for all the additional time and effort that the breeder has spent raising the show potential Boxer. Male or Female? This choice is a matter of personal preference. Both males and females make admirable pets. Breeding is a serious committment of time, energy, and money, and not to be taken lightly. If breeding is not anticipated, it may be appropriate to spay or neuter your dog. This procedure is best done as your Boxer approaches adolescence. Please be aware that these surgeries should be discussed with your veterinarian as to safety of anesthesia and any long term effects other than sterilization. Spayed and neutered animals are not eligible to compete in the conformation ring but may be shown in performance events. Check this list! Tails should have been docked within a few days of birth. Optional removal of front dewclaws fifth toes is done at the same time. The Boxer has no rear dewclaws. Ear cropping is customary and appropriate but not required--it is a matter of personal preference. Uncropped ears are permitted under the breed standard. If cropped, this procedure is done under general anesthesia, usually between six and nine weeks of age. If the puppy is taken before cropping, the breeder usually makes arrangements. The breeder also advises regarding aftercare and taping if ears are not already standing. Sometimes this is a lengthy process. In the male, both testicles should be descended into the scrotum. They should be in place by two to three months of age. A dog with undescended testicles may still make a fine pet, though he would be ineligible to compete in the conformation show ring. Consult your veterinarian for advice. Avoid the unusually quiet, inactive puppy, or the one that might shy away from you. This might mean a fault in temperament or even ill health. Papers the Seller Should Furnish: a. A three or four generation pedigree signed by the seller. There should be no extra charge for this. The pedigree preferably gives the color of the sire and dam, and the AKC registration numbers of each. The registration from the AKC, which is an official document identifying your puppy's individual registration number, sex, birth date, sire and dam, and name of the breeder s. There are two ways to register puppies for the first time: 1 Limited Registration If the puppy is not to be bred, and is being purchased only as a companion pet, the breeder may check off the Limited Registration option. This does register the puppy with the AKC. However, it does not allow any registration of offspring from the mature dog. The breeder and only the breeder can cancel the limited registration should the puppy at maturity be considered of breeding quality. Records the Breeder Should Furnish: a. Date and type of vaccines given. Depending on the type of vaccination program started, your veterinarian will advise you on following through. Vaccination protocols are evolving even among the medical professionals. Date and agent used for worming, if done. Do not worm your puppy without consulting your veterinarian. Avoid store-bought preparations which can be dangerous. Diet your puppy has been receiving. It is well to maintain the regimen begun by the breeder, especially while the puppy is adjusting to his new home. If changes are to be made. When he is an adult it will be wise to maintain your Boxer on two smaller meals a day. White Boxer Dogs Overview Regrettably, some people still believe that white Boxer dogs or puppies are the least favorable of the breed. Some will argue that those dogs born white are more prone to illness or more aggressive than the other more traditionally colored dogs of the breed. Some think that they have a different set of personality traits and will show different behavior than more traditionally colored dogs. For those of us who are lucky enough to love a white Boxer puppy.This simply could not be further from the truth. There is a lot of false information that can easily be found.So, let's clear this up by looking at the facts. While each dog is an individual and has his or her own personalty quirks, in general, white Boxer dogs will behave exactly like most other more traditionally colored pups and dogs. There is no set change in disposition, aggressiveness or any other trait. Most, if not all Boxers are comical, fun loving and expressive animals with a strong craving to please their owners. They are excellent companions, family pets and enjoy the company of their humans. A white Boxer dog is not automatically ill or blind or has eye issues.In some cases, color can go back as far as 5 generations. Both of the parents must carry the genetic code white. In every way the puppy is the same as all of its siblings…with all the liveliness, traits, and spirit that make them Boxers. A white Boxer is not an albino. Albinos entirely lack pigment. Any dog breed will infrequently have an albino…although it is very rare. When a dog is an albino there is no colored pigmentation anywhere on the dog…They have pink eyes, and a complete lack of color anywhere on the body. Most white Boxer dogs have some spots on their skin which can be seen due to their short coats and have some markings around their nose and mouth. Some have colored markings in their coat such as brown spots around an eye or on the back, etc. They will have pigment in their eyes, this alone rules out albinism as the cause of their whiteness. Approximately one in four puppies are white either all white or majorly white. Therefore, this is not a rare color. Because of this limitation, white Boxer dogs do not meet the breed standard for show conformation. Many breeders and handlers hope that this changes. White Boxers, as beautiful as they are, may someday be accepted for conformation in AKC show events. There are breeders and people in the general public who feel that white Boxer dogs are inferior to fawn or brindled colored Boxers and have more health problems. .Recently, there has been more studies to either substantiate or dissuade the claims that white Boxers are more prone to problems than standard colors. The only claims that seem to have merit are: They are more likely to sunburn And the white Boxer like many other breeds with similar loss of pigment are more prone to deafness in one or both ears. They are not rare -Approximately 25 percent of all boxers born are white. They are not albinos — They have colored eyes, colored touch, inside of the ears, belly and bottom of the paws. They can sunburn easy — an owner should use human sunscreen on their dog if they are to be outside for more than 30 minutes — And remember that the UV sun rays CAN penetrate through clouds, so it is better to be safe than sorry. They can be deaf and this is one of the biggest reasons why most breeders do not purposefully breed for the white color. Blindness is a bit more common with the white Boxer. Some people believe that white Boxers develop cancer more easily than the more standard colored dogs ; however this is still up for debate and has not been proven. The AKC will deny registration for any puppies born to a registered white Boxer. They have the same temperament and personality as other Boxers. .They are happy, loyal, social, friendly dogs when raised in a loving, appropriate home. The white Boxer may have pigmented patches around the eyes and ears and other limited points on the body, but the Check has much more pigment and could be called piebald .A flashy Boxer is one who carries one dose of the gene. An albino Boxer dog would have no color on the skin as well; the eye rims, nose, bottom of the paw pads , and lips would be pink. In addition, most albino dogs have very light eyes. White Boxers, on the other hand, will have some skin pigmentation. Typically, the nose is black, as are the lips. Eye rims and paw pads can be black. Please note that very young Boxer puppies often have pink noses. So, if you have an all white Boxer newborn puppy and the nose is pink, this is not an indication of abinism. Over the of the next few weeks, nose color should come in. Final nose coloring may be fully black or spotted. Many wonder if a Boxer puppy is born deaf or becomes deaf. With all puppies, the ear canal stays closed and will open between days 10 and .A white Boxer - if he is to be deaf - will progressively lose his hearing. The cause of the deafness connected with the white color is the absence of pigment cells in the inner ear resulting in a loss of sensory hair cells at about 6 - 8 weeks of age. For this reason, potential puppy buyers may want to wait until the 10 week old mark, at which time it should be clear as to whether or not the Boxer has his hearing. The shortage or absence of pigment cells is also the cause of the white coat and un-pigmented third eyelids called the haw. In general the more pigment in the coat the lower will be the risk of deafness, but all predominantly white dogs are at risk of being deaf, not just the Boxer breed. Please note however that not all white dogs are white because of a lack of pigment cells. Some breeds such as the West Highlands and Poodles just have extremely diluted pigmentation; they have a full complement of pigment cells, so are not at risk of being deaf. There are of course many other causes of deafness in dogs. Not all are attributable to the absence of pigment cells. And deafness can be caused by external factors too.

It has been recognized by the AKC since .Although the Boxer dog breed originated in Germany, their ancient ancestry can be traced back to the Assyrian empire war dogs of BC. The modern Boxer breed we know and love today was originally developed in Germany in the late s. English-bred Bulldogs and the Bullenbesiier were crossed to create an energetic and agile hunting dog to chase wild game. The Boxer is a popular family companion and a versatile working dog. As a member of the Working Group, Boxers can be found competing in dog sports like agility, obedience, and herding. They also make great service and assistance dogs, as well as therapy dogs, and can be found working as search and rescue dogs, drug detection dogs, police dogs, and military dogs. The Boxer is a muscular and energetic dog that tends to have a happy, friendly disposition. They bond closely with their families and tend to get along well with children and other dogs. They can even do well with other pets despite their high prey drive if they are socialized and trained with them. As long as they are well-socialized, Boxers are generally upbeat, playful, and friendly. Although they have a natural instinct to protect their family from unwanted visitors, they do tend to warm up once introduced and are happy to make a new friend. They can be prone to barking a lot if you do not work on socialization and training your dog to stop barking early on. Boxers can be highly adaptable dogs. Although they have a lot of energy and are better suited to homes with yards where they can run, they can adapt to apartment living as long as they get the daily exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. As with any non-arctic dog breed, they are sensitive to very cold temperatures. Boxers are also a brachycephalic breed, which means they are even more sensitive to heat than other dogs. A Boxer is also one of the most affectionate dog breeds. Because they bond so closely with their families and get bored easily, they should not be left alone for long periods of time. Potential health conditions to be aware of in a Boxer include hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, thyroid issues , and heart conditions like aortic stenosis and cardiomyopathy. Good breeding practices make a big difference and reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. So, make sure you are asking the breeder about the health and genetic history of the parents and about any health tests that have been done. Boxers are intelligent dogs that are eager to please their owners. Despite their energetic personality, they are one of the best dog breeds for first-time owners and are highly trainable dogs. They tend to excel at almost any task put before them! Because of their open, friendly nature and high energy, they have a tendency to jump up at people in excitement and playfulness. Since they grow into powerful dogs, you will want to make sure you train your dog not to jump up. Boxers have smooth and short coats that will shed a little year-round and require minimal grooming. A brush-down once or twice a week and the occasional bath as needed will keep their short coat healthy and looking great. Nail trims once or twice a month are usually enough to keep nails from growing too long. Checking ears weekly and carefully cleaning as needed can help prevent ear infections. Checking and wiping their facial wrinkles weekly or a few times a week if your dog is prone to getting into things can help keep their wrinkles clean and free of irritation. Dental diseases, like gum disease, are the most common health issues in older dogs because dental care is often overlooked; and, it can lead to other serious health issues. Brushing daily, plus cleanings at the vet when needed, is ideal. The Boxer is a high-energy dog breed that needs plenty of daily exercise to stay happy and healthy.

This is largely due to the fact that for many years, a white coat was a death sentence for a boxer puppy, and breeders routinely killed their white puppies. However, white boxers are wonderful dogs, as beautiful and fun as their fawn and brindle counterparts! The vast majority of them suffer no disability as a result of their coloration, and those that do can still enjoy a long and happy life with just a little accommodation. Below you will find answers to some frequently asked questions about white and deaf boxers. White Boxers Q: Are white boxers rare? A: White boxers are not rare. Q: Are white boxers a recent development in the breed? A: White boxers have been around as long as boxers have, and though it is not considered appropriate to breed them today, they were even included in early German boxer breeding programs. A: No. Albinos completely lack pigment in their skin, hair, or eyes. White boxers have mostly unpigmented fur, but they typically have dark noses, dark eyes, and patches of pigmented skin under their fur. White boxers are not the result of any genetic birth defect; they are genetically normal dogs who have white fur. Q: Are white boxers deaf? A: White boxers are more likely to be born deaf than are fawn or brindle boxers, but even still, the majority of white boxers can hear. There are no definitive figures regarding the incidence of deafness in white boxers. Q: Do white boxers have special health considerations? A: Some people claim that white boxers have a higher risk of developing cancer than do fawn or brindle boxers, but this has never been proven to be true. White boxers, do, however, sunburn more easily, and sun exposure can contribute to skin cancer. Using doggie sunscreen, putting a t-shirt on your white boxer, and, of course, limiting sun exposure during the midday can help reduce their risk of sunburn. Q: Do white boxers behave differently than colored boxers? A: White boxers are exactly the same in temperament as their fawn and brindle siblings. Q: Can white boxers be registered with the AKC? A: While the AKC does not recognize the use of white boxers for breeding, they do offer an American Kennel Club Limited Registration and will assign the dog an AKC number for use in performance events, such as obedience and agility. Any puppies produced by a dog with a limited registration will be denied registration by the AKC. Deafness in Boxers Q: What causes deafness in boxers? A: While many dogs acquire some degree of hearing loss with age, congenital deafness in boxers is usually caused by the lack of pigmented skin in the inner ear, resulting in the atrophy of nerve endings within a few weeks of birth. Congenital deafness in white boxers is not associated with any other health issues. Q: Are deaf boxers trainable? A: Yes, deaf boxers are trainable. Dogs born deaf also are very attuned to other stimuli around them, like vibrations in the floor and changes of light, and you can take advantage of these stimuli for training purposes. Deaf dogs are as trainable as any other, but they may require that you learn new techniques and skills. Q: Can I take my deaf dog on off-leash walks? A: As a general rule, deaf boxers should never be allowed off-leash in unenclosed areas. Since they will not hear you if you call them, you must remain in physical control of your deaf dog anytime there is a danger of him running off or getting into trouble. Q: Are deaf boxers aggressive? A: Deaf boxers, like hearing boxers, have individual personalities, and they are not more likely to be aggressive than any other dog. Some people worry that deaf boxers will react aggressively if they are startled by touch. However, deaf dogs are accustomed to their disability, and just because it is easier to surprise a deaf dog does not mean the dog will respond inappropriately when startled. Additionally, deaf dogs can and should be desensitized to touch using positive reinforcement. Deaf dogs adapt well to their disability and do not necessarily require another dog whose lead they can follow. Oftentimes, any new dog hearing or deaf will follow the lead of a pre-existing dog hearing or deaf in a household.

This designer dog breed originated in Australia around .The main goal of the Labradoodle was to create a hypoallergenic guide dog for people living with disabilities who were also allergic to dog fur and dander. Now, they are still a popular choice for service, guide, and therapy dogs and are also a popular companion dog. Labrador Retrievers and Poodles are both friendly, gentle, intelligent, and affectionate dog breeds. The Labradoodle tends to be similar. They are open and friendly and crave human attention and affection. They are happiest when they are with people. Labradoodles also tend to have an energetic and playful personality. They get along well with children, other dogs, other pets, and strangers. They are alert enough to bark or let you know when someone is at the door, but they are not generally good watchdogs or guard dogs as they are more interested in making friends. A Labradoodle is a highly adaptable dog breed. They do very well in homes with space to run and they can adapt well to apartment living as long as they are given plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They also do well in most climates. As with any dog breed, they are sensitive to extreme heat and cold. Because they enjoy being around people, they do not generally like to be left alone for long periods of time. They can also become bored if not given enough attention, exercise, or mental stimulation, which can result in destructive behavior. This dog breed is generally healthy, but they do have the chance of inheriting common health conditions from both of the parent breeds. Some health conditions to be aware of include elbow and hip dysplasia, ear infections, progressive retinal atrophy, hypothyroidism, and epilepsy. Good breeding practices can reduce the likelihood of passing on many of these health issues. Be sure to talk with the breeder about the genetic history of the parents and ask to see any health clearances; this can help allay potential health concerns. A Labradoodle tends to be eager to please and highly intelligent, which makes them highly trainable. They are a good fit for dog owners of any experience level. As with most dog breeds, Labradoodles respond best to training that is consistent and uses positive reinforcement. There are some grooming tasks that are common to every dog breed. When it comes to coat care, it can vary with a Labradoodle. Poodles have a low-shedding coat that is also high maintenance in terms of brushing, trimming, and professional grooming. Labs tend to have a higher shedding coat that needs minimal brushing and grooming. For the most part, a Labradoodle will have a low or non-shedding coat that will need to be brushed a few times a week. But, they can have a higher shedding coat should they take after their Labrador parent. You may also need a few professional grooming sessions throughout the year. Nail trimming once a month is usually enough to keep movement comfortable and prevent longer nails from snagging on things. Proper dental care for your dog will help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Drop-down ears are more prone to infection because floppy ears are more likely to trap moisture, dirt, and debris. This will make grooming throughout their life a much more enjoyable process for both you and your dog. It can even become a bonding time for you both as well. Labradoodles tend to be high-energy dogs. They require a few daily walks plus some time to run and play in order to stay happy and healthy. They certainly love to play and you may tire out before they do sometimes. They may calm down a little as they get to be a couple of years old, but they tend to be quite energetic as puppies. Going swimming with your dog , taking a hike with them, going on a trip to the dog park, playing a game of fetch, and more are all great supplemental activities to ensure your Labradoodle gets plenty of exercise. You can even train them to compete in dog sports like dock diving, flyball, agility, obedience, and more. A fully-grown Labradoodle will usually stand between 21 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 50 and 65 pounds. Labradoodles generally live 12 — 14 years.

bernedoodle puppy training - Tom Thorpe Blog Have you ever wondered how many puppies in a litter of golden retrievers? That said, if you have a female golden retriever and someday you want to let her have some litter, you are prepared and able to calculate some expenses beforehand. In this article, I will attempt to cover the question regarding how many puppies in a litter of golden retrievers. Average litter size of golden retrievers Time and again, we always say that golden retrievers are a one of a kind canine breed. The fact that they are the friendliest, affectionate, energetic, and stranger to none, these reasons are what makes the golden retrievers popular and it will become one for many years to come. Interestingly enough, the largest litter size was produced by a Neapolitan Mastiff back in .On the other hand, the largest litter ever produced by a golden retriever is 17 albeit there are no official records, only online sources that only appeared. With that, golden retrievers are capable of producing a litter between 1 to 17 young pups. We can safely assume that golden retriever breeds have an average litter size of 4 to 8 puppies. For most instances, the first litter size is somewhat smaller compared to succeeding litters. Also, this is true among golden retriever breeders. They know the ins and out of very golden retrievers. Another important fact you should keep in mind is the ratios of females and males differ. Other litter will have more females than males, while in some, males are more. In addition, there is a small chance that the puppies are of one gender only. This is because there are numerous factors that make the outcome of the litter different from any other golden retrievers and other canine breeds. Thereby the question of how many puppies in a litter of golden retriever will likely have come from these factors such as: Consider the genetic factor Every canine is different from the other, although they have some commonality if we are going to categorize them according to their breeds. But still, they have different genetic structures and they are all individual creatures. This also includes the litter size. The most common observation in regards to litter size, if the mother of your female golden retriever produces in large litter size, chances are, your female dog also will produce a large litter size. That is, of course, assuming some factors remain constant. In relation to the litter size, keep in mind that the majority of the traits largely came from a dam female dog and the small percentage came from the sire male dog. The sire has likely had an influence on the litter size. Among the sire can influence are health, age, size, breed, and genetic structures. Gene Pool Diversity At some point, the gene pool diversity will somehow affect the litter size. This again will vary from dog to dog. The fact that canine who are drawn from diverse backgrounds tend to have large litters. Diet Another factor to consider is the diet. Compared to dogs fed with substandard kibble food and supplement. Health Again, health plays a crucial role. This is because they can somehow affect and have a chance to have more puppies. That said, if the golden retriever is not healthy enough, it will inevitably affect the litter size. An ideal healthy weight for golden retrievers is usually slim, and those who are overweight are prone to health issues. Thus, giving a routine exercise and a well-balanced diet has a possibility to produce in larger litters. More particularly in the case of a male dog. Male dogs who are 5 years old and above have a smaller sperm count than those who are in ages 5 years and below. This means the litter size will also decrease. This is the reason why dog breeders who have dog show quality are often bred extremely and intensively in order to produce as many quality female dogs as possible. But, it has a more major point in influencing the size of the litter size than the male and this is actually quite true. That means, dogs over the age of 7 years will have a greater chance to produce large litters than those of young age under 5 years of age. Usually, the first litter regardless of age will likely be smaller than the succeeding production of litters to come. Also, a female golden retriever who was never been bred until the age of 5 will have a tendency to produce smaller litters that are permanent. On that note, the ideal age of female golden retrievers where there is a yield in litter size is between the age of 2 to 5 years. Generally, the larger the breed, the larger the litter size. In the case of golden retrievers, the average size of litter rangers from 4 to 8 and other dog breeds like Spaniels. The fact that genetics and other various factors in dogs alone have the possibility to increase the litter size, all these factors lead to a different outcome and are somewhat related. But can humans influence or somehow affect the size of a litter? Is there any correlation regarding this? The short answer is yes, but to a certain extent only. The long answer is, although yes, there are no guarantees as to how much can humans change the course of the litter size. Fortunately, there are things that humans may likely increase the odds. In fact, breeders who are using artificial intelligence are becoming even more rampant. Thanks to the ai, the chances of finding champion dogs both in the US alone and abroad are getting bigger. However, artificial insemination does not produce large litter sizes. Instead, it only produces a small litter size. Moreover, the kind of semen will largely affect the litter size regardless if it is frozen, chilled, or fresh. In addition, canine sperm will likely die because their semen does not freeze well. Post Breeding Management The best possible and simplest way to somewhat affect the litter size of your golden retriever is just to have the best possible care. Nothing more nothing less. Obviously, any dogs who lack proper nutrition and have an imbalanced diet will greatly decrease the chance of having a large litter size. If the golden retriever has improper housing and has nutrient deficiencies, they can absorb puppies due to lack of care. So, see to it that your female golden retriever has everything they need. Make sure to not miss any appointments in their scheduled checkups with your local vet. Give them proper nutritional needs and also groom them regularly. Care Tips for Golden Retrievers Proper Treatments The best way to secure a healthy pregnancy for your female golden retriever is to have her getting proper treatments. That means, getting treatments for fleas and worms should be consistent even while in pregnancy. Vaccinations Treatments and vaccinations are the most important and should be regularly maintained if necessary. This will guarantee that the antibodies are optimal while the female mother has a puppy bump. Consult your vet with the best possible vaccines in order to keep your dog healthy. There is some vaccination that can be administered while your dog is in pregnancy. The fact that pregnant golden retrievers or any dogs will feel become lethargic when the due is near. With having adequate exercise before their pregnancy, your dog will become fit and able to carry on while she has a puppy bump that is about to give birth. This can lead to stress and other health condition that may greatly affect their pregnancy. Final Thoughts All in all, I hope the question of how many puppies in a litter of golden retriever is completely answered. If you are still confused, the average litter size they can produce is about 4 to 8. Also, if you are a first-time pet owner who has a pregnant golden retriever, you should know what to expect and even know some basic tips regarding the proper care of your pregnant golden retriever. Keep in mind that they should stay fit and healthy plus groom them regularly. Jan 20, Share Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of dogs in the United States. They are known for their loyal and friendly personalities, and many people choose them as their first dogs. Such a popular breed is always in demand, and more Golden Retriever puppies are born every day. However, there is some uncertainty about how many puppies Golden Retrievers typically have. Due to their size, larger dogs tend to have larger litters, while smaller dogs tend to have smaller litters. As a bigger dog breed, Goldens can have anywhere from one to twelve puppies per litter, but six to eight puppies are about average. Some litters may have as few as four. Read on below to find out more. Why the Size of the Dog Breed Affects Litter Size The different sizes of litter between breeds are due to the fact that larger breeds have more room in their uterus to grow puppies, while smaller breeds have less room. This is likely due, in part, to the fact that smaller dogs have a shorter gestational period and thus less time to mature a large number of offspring at a more rapid rate than larger dogs. This difference in litter size can be important for breeders, as they need to consider the size of the breed when planning how many puppies to produce. However, it is also worth noting that different breeds of dogs will exhibit different average litter sizes, even within the same size class. For example, the German Shorthaired Pointer is around the same size as a Golden Retriever, but has an average of nine pups per litter. The first litter of puppies for a female Golden Retriever is typically smaller in size than later litters. Additionally, since the first litter is typically born earlier than later litters, the puppies may not have as much time to grow and develop before being born. She should, however, have regular checkups with a veterinarian to ensure everything is going well. Despite Golden Retriever mothers being able to deliver many puppies, not every pup will survive birth. A dam may give birth to four puppies, but only two or three will survive. Pregnant dogs require high-quality vitamins, minerals, and premium proteins in addition to a healthy and balanced diet. Additives and fillers in dog food can lead to poor nutrition and ultimately affect litter size. In addition, diet plays an important role in the health and survival rate of puppies after birth. The chances of a Golden Retriever producing a small litter are higher if they are unhealthy. It is also possible that the puppies are born weak and have a lower chance of surviving. Age of Parents Female Golden Retrievers should not be bred too young or too old. Ideally, a female should be between the ages of 2 and 5 when she is first bred. It is also important to consider the age of the male. Once a male reaches the age of 5, their sperm count will decrease. Image Credit: Chendongshan, Shutterstock Lineage Overly inbred dogs are less likely to have large litters than dogs with a diverse gene pool. Ask your breeder about their parents and whether they have been tested for defects if you are looking for a puppy. Conception Method and Timing It may surprise you to learn that the way your Golden becomes impregnated may determine how many puppies she will have. Having a larger litter is more likely for Golden Retrievers that become pregnant naturally while conceiving artificially is more likely to lead to a smaller litter. This is because the freezing process kills many sperm cells in preserved semen, resulting in fewer pups. Dogs that conceive within 48 hours of ovulation have a higher chance of having a larger litter. These larger litters usually occur in the third, fourth, and fifth pregnancy. Puppy Mills Puppy mills are commercial breeding facilities that mass-produce puppies for sale to the public. In a puppy mill, the mother dog is often bred repeatedly until she no longer can bear puppies. There are many reasons why one should avoid buying a dog from a puppy mill. First and foremost, puppy mills are notorious for breeding unhealthy dogs. Dogs from puppy mills typically have a variety of genetic health problems, ranging from joint problems to heart disease. In addition, puppy mills often keep dogs in horrible conditions, with little or no veterinary care. Dogs in puppy mills may also be malnourished and abused. Conclusion In conclusion, Golden Retrievers have an average of eight puppies. However, a breeder or owner can mate their Goldie at the right time, exercise them, keep them healthy, and feed them high-quality food all year long, but ultimately they cannot control the litter size.

While it is always important to feed your dog a healthy and balanced diet, pregnant dogs need high-quality vitamins and minerals and premium protein. Dog food that is filled with additives and fillers can affect the litter size. Diet will also be a factor in how healthy the puppies will be after birth and what their survival rate will be. Health: If your Golden Retriever is obese or not given enough exercise, this can affect the litter. An unhealthy Goldie will more than likely produce a small litter. The puppies might also be born weak and have a smaller chance of survival. Age of both parents. You do not want to breed your female Golden Retriever too young or too old. The age range for the female to be bred is 2 to 5 years old. However, if you wait to breed your Goldie for the first time after they are five years old, their litters will always be smaller in number. The age of the male is also a factor. The sperm count in males will decrease once they reach 5 years old. Genetics: Dogs that have a more diverse gene pool are more likely to have larger litters than dogs that have been overly inbred. This is why if you go to a breeder, ask them about the parents and if they have been tested for defects. Image Credit: PorChonlawit, Shutterstock Final Considerations If you are a dog owner, you already know how important health, diet, and exercise are for raising a strong and happy dog. These factors must also be considered when deciding if you want to breed your Golden Retriever. Have her checked with the vet before she gets pregnant to make sure she is healthy and able to carry a litter safely. Ensure the potential mate is also healthy and the right age.

A couple of weeks ago, Raven, our Golden Retriever had her first litter of puppies. Several weeks before she had her puppies we were all curious about how many puppies Raven would have in her first litter. And what did we learn? Bring your Calmeroos Puppy the day you pick up your puppy and rub it all over his litter mates and mama. Ten years later my memory of all those puppies is still vivid. Of course in the end we came home with our first puppy, Linus! Back then the smallest litter we saw was two six-week-old black Labrador Retriever pups. Our friends at Guide Dogs of America have experienced many, many more litters than I have or probably ever will in my lifetime. I would guess they have a litter of pups at the school nearly every week sometimes two litters a week! So what did I hear from my GDA friends? The largest litter I heard about was 16 Golden Retriever puppies! Let me say that again: 16 puppies!!! The smallest litter size was 1 lonely puppy…although only children get all the attention…right, Ali Ali is my wife…an only child :? After personal experience and talking to friends and family the consensus was Raven could have anywhere between 1 and 16 puppies. Our Golden Retriever puppies! Time for a little bit of internet research. Just ask Google the following questions and find the answers in the featured snippet: What is the average first litter size for a Golden Retriever? The average litter size for a golden retriever is eight puppies. Litter sizes vary from four to 12 puppies, and humans are not usually needed for help in the birthing process. Other sites in the top 10 search have similar numbers for average litter size. What is the largest litter size for a Golden Retriever? So we can probably expect less than 24 puppies…lol. The largest litter of Golden Retrievers we found on the internet were 17 Golden pups. The Golden Retriever Forum and other sites mention Golden litters as small as one puppy. After talking to friends, and family, and doing my internet research the consensus was Raven would probably have between puppies with the outside possibilities of only 1 pup or up to 17 remote possibility of 24! We took care of litters of puppies, but the youngest pups we had were already 3 weeks old. We got those little cuties when they were about weeks old and at that age, they were a handful. I specifically remember one of the rescue leaders saying that 5 or fewer puppies are much easier to handle. That number 5 has stuck in my head for over 10 years! My fingers were crossed… Puppies from our our Golden litter! However, the day we planned on bringing her in for an X-Ray her temperature dropped which was an indication she was close to giving birth. Rather than risk her giving birth in my car on the way to the vet we opted out of the X-Ray. Raven went into labor on Wednesday, November 9th, , and at… am — Female. There are a range of factors that contribute to the overall litter size. Often genetics play an important role in the size of the litter. The size of the breed as well as the overall health of parents also effect the total litter size. Golden retrievers are considered a large breed dog, resulting in larger litters. Many sites state various different ranges. Websites, with less authority, like Ask and PetPlanet have a range of puppies per litter. Their overall average is 8. The American Kennel Club used to state that the average litter size was in the range of .However, that information can no longer be found. With smaller litters it could quite possibly be that the bitch was not bred at the proper time. Some of the eggs may not have been fertilized. The stud may have tied too early, or too late. Or it could have been possible that the sire was too old and not producing an adequate sperm count. The overall health of both parents can also be considered. It could also be a problem with the mother, such as injury, or physical defects. With litters on the larger end, sometimes they may have to be delivered cesarean. If the time of delivery is too long, some puppies may be stillborn. Cases have occurred where a puppy may be retained in the uterus causing other problems. Litters this large are generally not in the best interest of the mother. From my experience, most litters are indeed around in number. That could just be coincidental. Further litters often will have less. This is just something I have seen, but is not scientific. It is also important to note that male and female ratios can go in either directions. It is also possible to have a litter with all one gender. Our recent litter from Tina came out all female. She had eight female puppies at once. I was told by another breeder that she had a litter of 10 that were all female. It is very unlikely, but it does happen. We derived that number from hundreds of litters from various breeders. As mentioned above, the range is between 1 to 15 puppies in a litter. A breeder can find out how many puppies a female may have while pregnant via x-ray or ultrasound. An x-ray can be taken after the bones have ossified. That occurs around days of gestation. Ultrasounds can be taken around days to confirm pregnancy, but confirming the litters size is less accurate. It is however less damaging on the mother and puppies.

The reason being, there are more hybrid dog breeding programs going on today than at nearly any other time in history. The French Bulldog English Bulldog mix is one such hybrid breeding program. And if you are not quite sure what a hybrid dog breeding program is, we will explain more about it in the coming sections here. Perhaps you have become interested in the French Bulldog English Bulldog mix because you saw a cute picture online or a friend introduced you to this dog breed. In any case, once you read this article you will be able to decide if this is the right dog for you! French Bulldog English Bulldog Mix Often, when two different purebred dog breeds are bred together, the resulting crossbred puppies are given a new breed name. In the case of the French Bulldog English Bulldog mix, the name many people use to describe this dog is the Free-lance Bulldog also sometimes written as the Free Lance Bulldog. Some people also like to call these dogs Frenglish Bulldogs. There are many iterations of hybrid dog breeding programs as we will delve into here shortly. But in the most basic sense, a French Bulldog English Bulldog mix is a puppy that has one parent from each purebred dog lineage. In the next section, we will talk more about the type of diversity that often appears when two different breed purebred dogs are crossbred. The world of dog breeding can be an argumentative one at times. There are the purists — the purebred dog breeders that would never dream of diluting any modern dog breed's pure line. Examples relevant to our purposes here include the purebred French Bulldog and the purebred English Bulldog. And then there are the hybrid or designer dog breeders. These dog breeders can have many different reasons for wanting to cross one purebred dog breed with a different purebred dog breed. Of course, sometimes the crossing takes place totally by accident — after all, dogs will be dogs. But this also isn't the same as a true hybrid breeding program, which has its own specific intent. As Canine Corral explains, a true hybrid breeding program crosses one purebred dog line with another purebred dog line to create a third, entirely new, genetic line. This new genetic line then has the potential, over time, and with careful development and promotion, to become a new purebred dog breed in its own right. Why start a hybrid dog breeding program? These are the two most common reasons many hybrid dog breeders state for wanting to launch hybrid dog breeding programs: 1. To strengthen the genetic lineage or lessen the incidence of known health issues in each purebred dog line. To create a new dog breed that in time may become a recognized purebred dog breed in its own right with desirable genetic or appearance traits. Here, it is important to understand that in nearly all cases, every modern purebred dog breed today started out as a hybrid dog breed. Bred down for a smaller size, then crossed with the Rat Terrier, possibly other terrier breeds and the Pug, today's French Bulldog was a hybrid dog breed for decades before the breed standard was finally established. What to expect from a hybrid dog breeding program? A hybrid dog breeder can choose to breed at several different levels, or tiers, of the breeding process. As Breeding Business illustrates, these are the basic categories, or tiers, of hybrid dog breed, using the French Bulldog and English Bulldog as examples: — F1 In an F1 hybrid breeding program, one purebred French Bulldog and one purebred English Bulldog are crossbred together to produce puppies. The same holds true using the previous generation for F4, F5, and so forth. Why is the hybrid breeder's tier important to know about? If you want to add a Free Lance Bulldog to your family, you may be wondering why or if it matters what crossbreeding tier your hybrid breeder is working with. This is a great question. It doesn't necessarily matter unless you have some specific goals or requirements for the puppy you bring into your life. To understand this, it is helpful to know that there is currently no way to predict in advance how much genetic influence either parent dog will have on a given puppy even within a single litter. For example, let's say there are three F1 puppies born from a purebred French Bulldog parent crossbred with a purebred English Bulldog parent. Each puppy can inherit an entirely different mix of traits from each parent — even within that litter! So one puppy may be larger or stockier than all the others. There may be two puppies with upright bat ears and one puppy with floppy rose ears. The puppies may all grow up to have different coat colors and be of different heights and weights. The same holds true of inheriting temperament traits from each parent dog. This type of unpredictable genetic diversity lessens in the later tiers of hybrid breeding programs. Because each later tier draws from a more uniform genetic mix, the puppies tend to look more alike and act more alike than they do in earlier litters. If you want a specific size puppy or a puppy with a particular temperament, you should strive to work with a hybrid breeder that breeds in the later tiers so F2 or later, ideally. This will give you the best chance of bringing home the puppy that best meets your needs and goals. Now that you have a basic overview of what a hybrid breeding program is and the foundational terminology used, let's take a closer look at what you can expert your French Bulldog English Bulldog puppy to look and act like. The History of the French Bulldog and the English Bulldog The best place to start when getting to know a new and still-evolving hybrid dog breed is with the parent dogs' history and background. So let's get a basic overview of the French Bulldog and the English Bulldog in history. French Bulldog history The French Bulldog is the fourth most popular out of American Kennel Club registered dog breeds purebred dog breed in America today. In one of the stranger twists in dog breeding history, the French Bulldog was originally an English Bulldog. Through a number of twists and some interesting cross-breeding programs, the English Bulldog turned into a French Bulldog. The French Bulldog has terrier and Pug dog genetics in its modern breed line. The French Bulldog, however, was never bred specifically for a working or fighting dog purpose. Rather, these dogs accompanied their owners on a move from England to France during the Industrial Revolution. The French furthered the transition from English to French Bulldog and, before long, a new dog breed was born. English Bulldog history The English Bulldog — called simply the Bulldog in America — is the fifth most popular out of American Kennel Club registered dog breeds purebred dog breed in America today. Why are they called English Bulldogs? The main reason is that the earliest record of Bulldogs as a dog breed popped up in the 13th century in English records. These dogs were originally bred for vicious fighting sports such as bull-baiting, bear-baiting, and dog pit fighting. Thankfully, these sports were outlawed along with Parliament's passage of the Cruelty to Animals Act in .Today, English Bulldogs really, all Bulldogs are best known for keeping laps warm all around the world. French Bulldog English Bulldog Mix: Personality and Temperament One of the best ways to get a good sense of what your Frenglish Bulldog puppy's personality and temperament might be like is to learn more about each trait in the parent dogs, which is what we will do in this section. French Bulldog personality and temperament The French Bulldog is all about living at the center of their people's lives. These dogs are smart and talented and can easily learn tricks to entertain their people. The French Bulldog is known to be a bit stubborn, which is par for the course with very intelligent dog breeds. Otherwise, these dogs live to amuse and, of course, to snore their days away on the laps of those they love. They also make great guard dogs and watchdogs. English Bulldog personality and temperament The English Bulldog is also a people-centric dog breed. However, these dogs have a more mellow personality and are usually content to laze around indoors with their people. Underneath that calm and dignified personality, however, the Bulldog is as brave as they come. They are great with kids and are great guard dogs and watchdogs. French Bulldog English Bulldog personality and temperament With two purebred dog breeds with such complementary personalities as well as a shared breed lineage and development, you really can't go wrong with the Free Lance Bulldog as a family pet. These dogs are great with kids and generally with other pets as well. They make great watchdogs and guard dogs and are famously snuggly lap-loving dogs for dog lovers of all ages. French Bulldog English Bulldog Mix: Size, Height, and Weight Many prospective dog owners are understandably concerned about how large their little puppy will eventually grow up to be. Planning for a small to medium size dog breed is quite different from planning for a large to giant breed dog. With a hybrid dog breeding program, it can be even harder to predict how large your puppy will be, especially when you are working with earlier crossbreeding programs. Here, the best way to predict your adult dog's size, height, and weight is once again to learn more about how potentially large each parent dog can grow up to be. French Bulldog size, height, and weight As you now know, the French Bulldog began its breed history as the English Bulldog. As such, this dog breed was much bigger originally. Today, the French Bulldog typically weighs less than 30 pounds and stands between 11 and 14 inches tall paw pads to shoulder girdle. English Bulldog size, height, and weight The English Bulldog also used to be somewhat larger and stockier, especially back in the days when baiting and pit fighting was still permitted. Today, the Bulldog typically weighs between 40 and 50 pounds and stands 14 to 15 inches tall paw pads to shoulder girdle. French Bulldog English Bulldog size, height, and weight What these breed statistics indicate is that your French-English Bulldog hybrid is unlikely to ever weigh more than 50 pounds and will most likely weigh between 20 and 40 pounds in adulthood. Similarly, your hybrid dog will mostly stand somewhere between 11 and 15 inches tall as an adult dog. French Bulldog English Bulldog Mix: Training and Exercise Needs Another common question many new prospective dog owners have is whether their pup will be happy living with them based on how much space and activity they can offer. Some people love to have a very active life that they share with their dog, while others are seeking more of a lap dog to hang out with. And some owners have a lot of space and a big yard while others live in small spaces without any yard at all. What type of training and exercise needs does the Free Lance Bulldog have? Let's find out now. French Bulldog training and exercise needs The French Bulldog is a very petite pup, weighing in at less than 30 pounds in adulthood. These dogs also have very short muzzles that can make it hard for them to sweat and breathe easily. However, Frenchies do love their food, and for this reason, it can be challenging to keep the pounds off — especially as they grow older. French Bulldogs live perfectly happily in small spaces with daily indoor play and training time. They can't tolerate heat and should never be allowed to swim. In terms of training, Frenchies typically get along well with all age family members and other pet cats and dogs. But they can take longer to potty train and maybe stubborn overall about early training efforts. English Bulldog training and exercise needs English Bulldogs are very similar to French Bulldogs in terms of their exercise and space requirements and their trainability. These dogs are larger, of course, and also calmer in general. They are slightly easier to train but can also be stubborn if they get bored or don't have the right motivation. Like Frenchies, English Bulldogs love their food and it can be a challenge to keep the weight off. English Bulldogs can tolerate slightly more vigorous exercise, including brisk outdoor daily walks, but should never be exposed to heat or taken for a swim. French Bulldog English Bulldog training and exercise needs Here, you can see that you will have a happy indoor dog if you pick a French-English Bulldog. You will need to balance food and treats with some daily exercise to keep your dog trim. And you may need to exercise your patience as well when potty training and obedience training time comes around. French Bulldog English Mix: Shedding, Grooming and Coat Care Yet another concern many dog owners have is about the coat care, maintenance , shedding, and grooming their new pup will need. Here again, the shared evolution of the French Bulldog and English Bulldog breed line makes it easier to predict your dog's needs in this particular area. French Bulldog shedding, grooming, and coat care The French Bulldog has a short, neat coat that does shed year-round and seasonally. The more you brush your dog's coat the less shed hair you will have to clean up. These dogs don't need any special grooming for their coat, but you may find yourself doing more cleaning in the skin folds and around the facial area to keep your dog healthy. English Bulldog shedding, grooming, and coat care Like the French Bulldog, the English Bulldog sports a short, neat, flat coat that is easy to keep looking dapper. The English Bulldog sheds seasonally and year-round as well, and here again, regular brushing will help you keep shed out hair from coating your clothing, furniture, and car. These dogs also benefit from regular attention to the skin folds in and around the facial area to keep them dry and clean and free from infection. French Bulldog English Bulldog shedding, grooming, and coat care So here, what you can expect is quite clear — a dog that sheds short hair year-round and more heavily during the seasonal weather changes. You will also have to do more cleaning in and around the skin folds of the face and body to protect your dog from skin irritation and potential infection. If your Free Lance Bulldog inherits the English Bulldog's floppy rose ears, you will also need to pay increased attention to cleaning the inner ears to avoid infection. French Bulldog English Bulldog Mix: Longevity and Health The toughest aspect to look at before committing to any dog breed — purebred, hybrid, or other — is always going to be health and longevity. As we mentioned earlier, one of the primary reasons many breeders decide to crossbreed purebred dogs is for improved genetic diversity and improved health. However, the French and English Bulldog breeds, share many health issues in common and so the benefit from crossbreeding in the area may be less noticeable. Lifespan Sociability The first thing that a Free-Lance Bulldog pup has going for him is how cute he is. Despite his larger size, this dog and his laid-back personality are a good fit for families or individuals. They are not prone to separate anxiety like some pets, but how could you ignore that adorable sweetie? After all, both parents are from the Non-Sporting Group. His ideal day is a moderate amount of play, following with some cuddling. They took their craft and their pets with them to France. The Bulldog Recovered from a Rough Start in Life Bulldogs get their name from a now-banned activity that nearly cost them their existence, bullbaiting. The object of it was just as the name implies with an enraged but confined bull attacking the canines. Once the government made the sport illegal, admirers selectively bred the remaining dogs to the lovable pooch we know today. They are easygoing and love to play. They are intelligent, too. The Bulldog in him is sometimes stubborn. However, neither of the parent breeds are big barkers. These dogs adapt well to their homes, whether you have a house with a big backyard or an apartment. Are These Dogs Good for Families? They are also good watchdogs, yet they are stranger-friendly—once they get to know them. Because of their size, these pups sometimes might not realize their strength when playing with small children. Parents should supervise playtime to make sure that no one gets hurt since they have a moderate tendency toward nipping. His unfortunate past and his staunch loyalty to his family might get in the way. Rest assured that selective breeding has removed the fighting instinct in this dog. Neither of the parent breeds has a strong prey drive. Knowing upfront what you may encounter is the best way to ensure a happy dog-owner relationship. Some things are minor, like choosing the right food for him. Others are more serious, such as potential health conditions. Our guide will discuss the most important things you should know about to make informed decisions. Your choice of food is one that is formulated for these pets and their specific dietary needs. Unlike smaller breeds, this puppy will mature slowly. You should keep your Free-Lance Bulldog puppy on a regular feeding schedule of up to three meals a day until he is three months old. Then, you can reduce it to one or two times a day, depending on his weight, activity level, and appetite. Use it as a guide only. Both parent breeds have a higher tendency to gain weight. That means monitoring his food intake closely. We recommend that you refrain from giving your Free-Lance Bulldog any table scraps. Also, reserve treats as a training aid. You must take the lead to ensure he gets enough exercise on a regular basis. The Bulldog is sometimes stubborn and may pull on his leash. We suggest letting him set the pace on the walks. The Free-Lance Bulldog is not a sprinter. That makes training easier when you have a dog willing to cooperate. Treats are an effective, positive reinforcement if his stubbornness gets in the way. The Free-Lance Bulldog is moderately sensitive to stern reprimands. Early socialization is imperative with any dog, but more so with larger dogs , especially if you have children. However, the French Bulldog in him can get intense sometimes in his play. You should plan on brushing your Free-Lance Bulldog at least two or three times a week. This hybrid stays relatively clean on his own. Reputable breeders will guarantee the health of their puppies with the documentation for these recommended tests. They will give you the peace of mind you need when choosing to bring a new pet into your home. Minor Conditions. Should a French Bulldog Mix take after their Frenchie parent, they will be a small companion breed that bonds closely with their families. They tend to have an energetic, playful personality and love nothing more than being with their favorite humans. French Bulldogs tend to be friendly, playful, and affectionate dogs that get along with just about everyone. They tend to get along with children, other dogs, and other pets. They will even warm up quickly to strangers as long as they have been properly socialized. If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, then you should be able to expect the same from a French Bulldog Mix. You can also meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like and the behavior she is modeling for the puppies. The breeder should have started some training and socialization, but it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home. Frenchies are highly adaptable dogs. They do well in apartments as well as larger homes. However, as a brachycephalic breed, they are extra sensitive to heat and also sensitive to the cold. They also do not like being left alone for long periods of time. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect a Frenchie Mix to also be a highly adaptable dog. The other parent will introduce their own traits and some potential quirks, so you do want to ask the breeder about them. They could inherit none of the conditions common to their parent breeds, or they could inherit some or all of them. They can also be prone to allergies, have sensitive skin, and also a sensitive stomach. Good breeding practices will make a huge difference. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing issues to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both of the parents. Although French Bulldogs can sometimes be stubborn, they are eager to please and tend to be easy to train. As long as training is consistent and focused on positive praise and reward, they can be a good fit for owners of all experience levels. If the other parent breed is also easy to train, then you can expect a French Bulldog Mix to be highly trainable as well. Regardless of owner experience, there are many benefits of puppy training classes. A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one of their parents or a coat that is a mix of both. You will also need to clean their facial wrinkles. Weekly ear checks with cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. As a small dog breed, a Frenchie Mix is more prone to developing dental diseases later in life. This makes good, consistent dental care for dogs even more important for them. Daily brushing with a dog-friendly toothpaste or using an enzyme toothpaste paired with cleanings at the vet when needed is ideal. Frenchies are known couch potato dogs that are happy to lay back, relax, and cuddle with you. Daily walks plus some playtime are usually enough for this affectionate little dog. Even though they like to relax, they also like to play and will be energetic when they do. They can also be athletic and compete in dog sports. As a brachycephalic breed, you do need to be careful of overexertion and overheating. But, there are plenty of ways to safely exercise flat-faced dogs to make sure your French Bulldog Mix gets enough exercise. If the other parent breed is also a low-energy breed, then you can expect something similar from a Frenchie Mix. If the other parent breed requires more activity, then you will need to be prepared for the potential of a higher energy dog. Fully-grown Frenchies usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds. The other parent breed can have a big effect on this, especially if they are the mother, so make sure you ask the breeder about them. This can give you some idea of what size to expect in a fully-grown French Bulldog Mix. French Bulldogs generally live for years. Although the other parent breed may affect this slightly, you should be able to expect a similar average life span in a French Bulldog Mix. Featured French Bulldog Mix Article.
