german shepherd doberman mix puppies for sale near me

Amanda Ho a year ago We absolutely love our dog, she is a very sweet and smart being, but with that said, know that the dogs you buy from San Francisco Golden Retrievers might come with some very serious health problems. When you pay this price for a dog, you expect it to at least have a normal healthy life. I know I bought dogs that costed much less in the past and never had the health problems our dog has. Within just a few days of having her, she was barely eating, and soon after, she started having bloody diarrhea and almost died. Note that the food we gave her then is still the same food we give her now, which is a very high quality food for Golden Retrievers. She already came from them with that problem. Her stomach is so sensitive that anything can cause her diarrhea. She was walking very weird, even her trainer noticed that. We decided to measure her legs just to find out that she has a disability. One of her legs is 1 inch longer than the rest already. So, if you are considering buying a dog with them just because they have it available and they are super cute, consider it again. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere you can trust. Our Loki is very adorable and loving also adjusting really well with the environment. We really appreciate your help. Amy Perez a year ago My husband and I have been looking into getting a golden for a few months now and came across Caddy's number on their site. From the moment he starting communicating with us he was incredibly responsive and flexible. We went to meet the pups and it was clear how well cared for they were. They had tons of space to run around with each other and were incredibly social. You could already tell they had amazing temperaments. These breeders really seem to take care of the pups and their parents. Caddy was very transparent with our questions and explained the entire process. Ultimately, we didn't end up taking one because we really wanted a female and there were none left, but I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone I know looking for a golden. Lainey Seiniger 2 years ago Although our sweet golden puppy, Mosa, is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I truthfully don't think I would go back to Thom for another puppy in the future. My boyfriend and I had been planning on getting a golden for some time, and one morning we woke up and decided it was the day. We found Thom online via these great reviews you've probably also read, and felt confident that he was a great and well-educated breeder. We got in contact with Thom almost immediately and made a plan to go meet Mosa that day. Thom warned us that he had family business that day and that his cousin would let us in and introduce us to Mosa. Well, the second we met Mosa, it was over.I was already in love. She was so goofy and excited to see us, not afraid at all! We registered with the AKC right there and Thom ensured us that as soon as he was home he would send us her vaccination records. I'm now aware that it is not abnormal for breeders to vaccinate their puppies, however her vaccination record was not considered acceptable by our apartment complex or our vet. Additionally, our vet explained to us that her vaccines were given too early and too close together, making them entirely useless. Therefore she had to be double vaccinated, which can potentially cause a number of physical and behavioral concerns. Thom quickly offered to pay for these vaccines, which although appreciated, only confirmed our skepticism in Thom and the unofficial nature of all that had occurred. Why would he so eagerly offer to pay for something that he claimed he did himself? Unfortunately, the issues did not stop here. We also found out that Mosa had three variants of worms and a parasite when she came home. Our vet said that although worms are common in puppies, he had never seen anything like this before. Small issues continued over the months to follow, like getting photos of her parents. Sadly, by the time we got these photos we no longer new whether or not we could actually trust what Thom was saying. I do want to add that Mosa is the absolute best dog. However, I wish I could have believed that when Thom told us. I admit we should have not given into impulse to buy the first golden puppy available. So, my best unsolicited advice, never rush into buying a puppy. Do thorough research on your potential breeder to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into! Levi Reyenga 2 years ago 1 Community - I am an active SF resident, and I regularly meet golden retrievers and am able to introduce Midas mine throughout the city who come from previous litters. Such a treat that I didn't anticipate. The temperament, intellect, and socialization of these pups is the BEST. My email is norwinsaloman yahoo. Mar Hoep 2 years ago Worst place ever to buy your golden. My pup is a year old now and I already know 6 others from the same breeder under the age of 1,5 years old just in our neighbourhood. The other owners complain about the same stuff. Laura Johnston Answered all my questions for this potential first-time pet mama kobe tran 2 years ago I just got my new puppy Skipper from Thom, and I have to say I can't be more grateful. Skipper is such an adorable little guy, and he is calm, silly, and sociable. My family and especially my sister really loves him. Skipper has been enjoying walks around the neighborhood and local park. It's also so fun to teach tricks like sit and shake paw so as first-time dog owners it's something I can never forget. Hopefully Skipper will learn fast! Thom has been very supportive, and we even got a puppy kit with dog food, a dog carriage, a leash, toys, and potty pads. Every time we have a puppy question, he gives us detailed instructions, and we are thankful for his help! Stay safe my friend, and definitely recommend a golden retriever from here. Karishma Patel Not reliable and responsive at all! Gia Linh Ho How much for a Golden puppy? Don Felts 2 years ago Our golden retriever that we received from SF golden retrievers is an outstanding dog. She is so smart and so beautiful that we would recommend you purchase your golden retriever from them. They were outstanding to deal with and we have continued our relationship with them and keeping them updated on our golden retriever. We would definitely give them a five star rating. We fell in love with him instantly. He was very soft, thick and health. Thom spent a considerable amount of time with us answering our questions and providing us with the knowledge needed to keep Max healthy and thrive. Max has an easy-going personality. He is very friendly, playful and affectionate. You could tell he was very well taken care of by this breeder. Our first week home, we called Thom quite a few times as we were adjusting. He was very responsive and offered great ideas to help Max adjust. Max is very intelligent and potty trained within a week of getting him. He has brought so much joy to our family. We get a lot of compliments about how beautiful and healthy he looks. When we are asked where we got him, we rave about your organization and the love and care you put in breeding these loving dogs. You have done an outstanding job. We highly recommend SF Golden Retrievers! Akram Madani-Sirjani Thank you Thom! Our little Ava has been a joy to our family????

We decided on a chunky lovely little girl and she has made our family complete again! Gorgeous, healthy and wonderful puppies. Douglas Szwarc 3 years ago SF Golden Retrievers is great breeder that truly cares about their puppies. We brought Ookii home in early October, and have been so happy to add him to our family. We would recommend SF Golden Retrievers to our closest friends, specifically because: — the care and love the have for their animals is apparent immediately once you visit. They are extremely welcoming, and the puppies are really well taken care of. Again, it was so apparent they really care about their animals. They are very organized, and it made our first vet visit that much easier. He has an awesome temperament, where he is getting along well with our 10yr old dachshund and 10yr old cat not reciprocal with the cat. We are really happy with our decision to bring Ookii home and feel really fortunate that we found these guys. Highly recommended!! Gerardo Campos Good dogs to get from a good breeder Giselle Keshtgar 3 years ago We got our sweet little puppy from Thom a couple weeks ago and our life has changed since then!

Jack Beauchamp 3 years ago Thom could not have been friendlier. We showed up, played with a bunch of puppies, and ultimately picked the best dog ever. Her temperament is unbelievable, she couldn't be sweeter. Highly recommend! What makes SF golden retrievers stand out is their dedication to making the world a better place through amazing dogs. Kristie Hicks 3 years ago Thom has been fantastic and true to his word from the start. He is very responsive when I email, call or text; even weeks after already having our puppy. He followed up after we brought her home and provided great support in our first days as new puppy parents. He seems to really care that our puppy is healthy and that we are happy with our decision to adopt from him. Our puppy is adorable and has a great temperament. I highly recommend SF Golden Retrievers! We could not be happier! She is a beautiful, loving and gentle dog who brings great joy and comfort to our family. Highly recommend SF Golden Retrievers. Morgan Schottleutner 3 years ago We purchased our beautiful Ellie last Friday and Thom made it such a wonderful process! Thom was immediately responsive the week prior to my initial inquiry about the available puppies and the purchasing process. The quality of care and love he provides to these puppies is fabulous, in addition to, all the work and support he and his family do for local veterans. Pamela Colon 3 years ago We took home our truly wonderful puppies, Sol and Melina, 7 weeks ago. They are amazing souls full of love for each other and every one they meet. Everyday with them is full of Serotonin for our family and even our Facebook friends. Thom was so helpful. He kept the puppies an extra week for us and then he and his wife came to the airport we us to make sure there were no flight glitches. I cannot thank them enough. They are four months old now. Sanjay Rao Thom is a great guy. Very responsive person Vince O'Hare 3 years ago After the loss of our second golden, we wanted another adult golden. I contacted Thom to see it they had any mature 2 to 4 yr old dogs and he said they had two. The Google and Yelp reviews were good so we were scheduled a visit his Sacramento site on Saturday but he called on Friday and said he would bring the dog to our home. Which he did. After taking the pooch in, we then requested shot records, AKC registration and rabies certificate. What we received was an email copy of a shot record which he claimed he administered. No vet records, no AKC registration, no rabies certificate. We took the dog to our vet only to find out she has a Whipworm infection. I could not have been more impressed by Thom and the job he is doing raising therapy dogs for families so that they can experience the same kind of loving companionship that he and his family have experienced with their therapy dogs. From the minute I entered his clean, organized garage that smelled like cleaning fluid, I knew this man ran the kind of operation that spoke to me. The back yard area with the dogs was immaculate. The puppies were happy, calm, clearly well-cared for and well on their way to potty training on their wood chips. He was not pushy, answered all of my questions, graciously sent us home with a crate, collar, leash, and toy, and even let me purchase food from him at a discount so that we had what we needed to get started. He even checked in on us the first two days and made sure to provide his cell number should we have any questions. We were intended to find Thom and our puppy, Red, who is a complete delight. Wonderful to be able to endorse a local business! Red is now 11 weeks. We picked him up at 8 weeks.Please be patient while the puppy filmstrips load. We are a small hobby breeder located on five acres of land in the Utah County area. Our dogs are part of our family and pups are affectionately raised inside our clean home. We concentrate on quality and we breed out of love for the Golden. Our goal is to raise healthy, happy, smart, and well-socialized puppies.

He won a three-point major his first weekend out with Robert in California! Now he has both his majors and is a couple of points away from his Championship Title. See pictures below! Update, Oct. Louis this year. They both did really well made the cut. It was awesome! Update, Nov. He took Best of Winners in the Tucson Coyote Classic dog show beating out some really nice dogs including the 3 dog in the Nation. WD in Valle Del Sol dog show. Update, Oct Skye is starting her show career! She is starting to show in California. Will keep you posted! I am expecting a lot from this awesome puppy!

I also play a sound socialization CD daily. This helps produce calm, confident, less aggressive, and less stressed puppies.We use the Puppy Culture program to socialize and raise our puppies.

Quotes from new owners include: "He literally is the most handsome golden retriever I've ever seen. He is the best thing ever and I love him tremendously. He is beautiful, well behaved and very intelligent. He is a fantastic and loyal addition to our family. Karla is great to work with. She is prompt in responding to any questions, makes herself available and makes the process of picking and getting a puppy quite seamless. I have always been an animal person and grew up with many family dogs that I loved. Wilson is an entirely different story. I've never felt more attachment or love to an animal the way that I do for him. He has the most magnetic personality that makes it hard not to smile around him. I am pretty sure he would turn into a fish if he had the opportunity. He's so active and healthy, but when we are inside he's so calm and cuddly. He is also very loved in return. He is a favorite in my family and friend group. Many friends often demanding to come over and see him or walk him. He touches everyone's life with his love and his beauty. He will be celebrating his 3rd birthday in less than a month! Thank you again for letting me share my life with such a wonderful dog. I am forever grateful for you and your goldens. He is beautiful, loving, funny, and smart, and comes from a strong and healthy lineage. Marcellus was wonderful and supportive throughout the whole process. We love Buckeye Golden Retrievers so much! Marcellus is very responsive and professional! The facility is very clean and cozy. I would recommend Buckeye a million times over! Our Charlie girl is smart, cute, and such a joy in our lives!

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

We can't do this without you, so please consider a donation or a purchase from the ABR Store! Available: Now Hey everyone! Chance was an owner surrender to the animal shelter and was in rough shape. Along with a really nasty skin condition, he was emaciated, had an upper respiratory infection, UTI, GI worms, and heart worms. It was clearly evident he had been neglected and abused. He got treated and well fed with a heaping side of love and care so he could be ready to meet his new family. Even though he had a rough patch, he still loves and want to be loved. He is a true velcro Boxer and want to be with you and cuddle. If he can't cuddle, he will be at your side, waiting for your attention and to look into your soul with those big, chocolate eyes. He wants to do whatever you do and be where you are. He is such a joy to be with. He had a good life before his previous owner, so he was already neutered and knew manners and commands. He is very smart and love treats, so I he picks new things up fast. He is house broken and know to stop something if mom says "uh-uh no" or "leave it" in her firm voice. He doesn'tt chew anything and doesn't counter surf. He only barks at delivery people. Chance can share his people, toys, and his bed, but please let him have his food to himself - he didn't always have food and worries. Chance knows the up and down commands, though he won't get on furniture unless you tell me it is okay each time. He also know sit, stay, come, and shake. Chance walk easy on a leash and loves his walks. He corrects easy with voice commands and gentle pressure on the leash. Sometimes, something fun to chase goes by and he wants to get it. He uses a harness and that helps him learn not to do that. He is already much better at it, except with cats and rabbits - those are too exciting. Some of his favorites include car rides, walks, being outdoors, toys, and cuddling. Part of his past was being crated all day, every day without bathroom breaks, enough food, or play time. So please let him play often, with lots of exercise. Also, Chance can not ever be crated at home, the vet or boarding except in emergencies and with medication. Crating triggers panic attacks for him specifically because of his past. The good thing is, he is such a good boy free roam, you don't need to crate him! Chance very much likes dogs and wants to play, but his foster Boxer brother is really old and can't play. He plays with his people and neighbor dogs. Chance does a good job, but can miss some doggie signals and will need help learning all of them for playtime. He acts like a big puppy, so he could knock down or step on little children with his zoomies. He does love all the rubs, pets, hugs, cuddles, ear smooshing, kisses, and scratches you can dish out. He also is happy to be lifted for a bath, car ride, or vet exam, though. We know some of the abuse in Chance's past was done by a man. He is scared of some men - not all men, but certain actions done by men trigger memories. He is not scared of the women and kids he has met. It took Chance a few days to trust him, but I love my foster dad now. He now trusts that his foster family will only let safe people in the house and will steer wide of men on walks doing any of those scary things like swinging a tool or carrying a load overhead. Chance now enjoys walks and visitors to his house. Interested in me? If so, fill out an application and mention Chance. If you are already approved, just email the adoption coordinator and ask to be added to my list. Please consider a donation to help with Chance's medical care.

I am familiar with common and uncommon health problems they may face so when my boyfriend and I decided we were ready to adopt our own english puppy finding a reputable breeder that prioritizes health was most important to us. Erica and Mitch of Bruiser Bulldogs are just that. They are experienced, ethical and quality breeders. I was referred to them by my friend that I trust after I saw their gorgeous healthy puppy. Our Puppy Primrose is the light of our lives! Bruisers was there to assist us every step of the way. We would highly recommend Bruisers Bulldogs to anyone looking for their own happy, healthy pup! Leah H. We were lucky to have come across Bruiser Bulldogs and even more so the fact that they were near our family and hometown made it even better. We have had Clementine Callie for four months now, and she is a wonderful dog. Her personality is amazing, and I think part of it is breeding and the other part is Erika and her family lovingly raising the puppies in their home with plenty of attention and snuggles. I also was impressed that, rather than send the puppies out right at 8 weeks, Erika kept ours for a few extra weeks because she was tiny and not read to leave her mom yet. It's that care that differentiates Bruisers from other breeders. Emily R. Erica was easy to work with thru the entire process from application to adopting and now beyond as we host our new family member, Chief. Her on-call support and willingness to provide open, honest advice to all of our questions and concerns continues to be appreciated. We would highly recommend Bruiser Bulldogs to anyone looking for an English Bulldog to join their family. Elizabeth W. Lady L. They are experienced, responsive and knowledgeable about all things bulldog related. They went above and beyond for us and are truly dedicated to all of their pups! We love our little girl so much and would recommend Bruiser to anyone looking for a healthy beautiful bully. Jonathan E. Erica and Mitch are trustworthy, excellent communicators, fair, passionate, and produce the best bulldogs. We were at the top of the waiting list for months and Erica reached out every litter to see if we were finally ready for a bulldog. When we were, she was very easy to work with. Her knowledge on bulldogs is outstanding. We had many questions on the process and she always knew what was best for the puppy. We've had Penny formerly Blair for two months and she is very healthy, energetic, playful, and sweet. She is great with other people and dogs. We are so happy with our pup. When we are ready for bulldog 2, we will only consider Bruiser Bulldogs. Mitch C. Bowser was born April and is an integral part of our family. When we were first exploring English Bulldog breeders our biggest concern was the overall health of the dogs. We decided to work with Erica at Bruiser Bulldogs because we liked their focus on improving the breeds breathing abilities and the fact that the puppies are raised within her family environment before coming home with their new owners. Bowser also breaths clearly and our vet was impressed with his overall health from the moment we brought him home. All that said we know English Bulldogs have a predisposition to many health issues and that his current health can not predict the future. With that In mind its important to start with a breeder that open to answer any of your questions as Erica has ours, and that strongly believes in improving the breeds overall health profile. Adam B. My sister ended up finding Bruiser Bulldogs and we knew right away that they were the breeder for us. In September we ended up driving 9 hours to pick up two Bruiser bulldog puppies- one for my husband and I and one for my mom. Jackson and Penelope have been nothing but a joy. They are both very athletic and healthy. They are also HUGE snugglers and always want to be with you. It is an absolute pleasure having these two bullies in our lives! Erica is very knowledgeable about the breed. She is very hands on throughout the process and is just overall a kind and honest person to work with. With all that being said I cannot recommend Bruiser Bulldogs enough! Collyn C. One of the reasons we chose Bruiser Bulldogs was due to the claims about breeding for health. During our first visit at our vet's office, he told us that our pup was one of the healthiest English bulldogs he had ever seen. He is healthy, happy and social. Would recommend to anyone. Christina S. We seen our dog on their website and sent them an Email. Mitch called us and personally walked us through the process and made sure we had the right dog for our family.

Like her close relatives the Belgian Laekenois, Belgian Malinois, and Belgian Sheepdog, she was bred specifically to herd sheep in Belgium in the late s. Hair and coat length and color are the primary distinguishing features among all four breeds. At least 60 minutes daily must be devoted to exercise. Tervurens are smart and and obedient when trained and can make wonderful family companions. In popularity they were slow to catch on, but interest in them grew in the midth century. They were found to be proficient at agility, police work, obedience, sledding, tracking, and even the relatively new dog sport of musical freestyle! They possess both physical and mental energy and enjoy solving problems, like how to navigate an obstacle on an agility course. The Belgian Shepherd breeds were a single dog under AKC rules until , when the organization recognized distinct differences among the varieties and implemented separate show categories for each of the four shepherds. Von Stephanitz had in his mind what a good working dog should be and a few generations of breeding fulfilled what Hektor envisioned. Horand von Grafrath is known to be the first German Shepherd Dog. Horand von Grafrath was bred to other similar styled dogs that were believed to have the same traits as what Von Stephanitz was looking for. His most successful offspring was Hektor von Schwaben. Von Stephanitz is widely credited for being the founder of this incredible breed. Von Stephanitz had intended for his breed to work as herding dogs, however, as Germany became more and more industrialized he saw the need to make it working dog. He convinced the German government to use the breed. The breed initially became popular in World War 1. Many American and allied servicemen grew attached to the breed during the war and brought them back to the states after the war was over. The Allied troops fell in love with the breed but not with the fact that it had German roots. It became common for police departments and those looking for true working dogs to import their dogs from Germany because the American dogs had such bad health problems. Vocality level 5 in 5 Disclaimer: While the characteristics mentioned here may frequently represent this breed, dogs are individuals whose personalities and appearances will vary. Please consult the adoption organization for details on a specific pet. Temperament Alert, watchful, and energetic, the Tervuren is an active and dependable companion that functions best when given daily mental and physical exercise. Tervurens enjoy playing and running outside, and can be well-mannered companions inside as long as they are given sufficient exercise. They are smart and obedient, but independent. They are aloof with strangers and can be protective of their family. They may nip at the heels of children in an attempt to herd them. Upkeep The Terv needs strenuous activity, either a long walk or jog or an invigorating play or work session every day. This breed especially enjoys herding, which is the ideal exercise. The double coat needs brushing and combing twice weekly, more often when shedding. Health Minor concerns: CHD, elbow dysplasia, allergies, hypothyroidism, PRA Occasionally seen: PPM, pannus, cataract, hemangiosarcoma Suggested tests: hip, eye, elbow Life span: 10—12 years History The Belgian Tervuren is one of four Belgian shepherd breeds, all sharing the same origins but distinguished by different coat types and colors. They are the wire-haired Laekenois, the shorthaired Malinois, the long black-haired Groenendael, and the long anything-but-black-haired Tervuren. All these herding— guard breeds were interbred before and after their recognition as one breed the Belgian, or Continental, Shepherd in .Tervurens lagged behind the other shepherd breeds in popularity, perhaps hindered by their less flashy color and disagreements over exactly what colors were desirable. In the Belgian Shepherd was divided into three breeds, and Tervurens were on their own. These dogs have since captured many eyes because they are the most elegant of the three breeds. They now enjoy moderate popularity. Belgian Tervurens are versatile dogs and are used less in guard work, but more in herding, than are their Belgian Shepherd counterparts. Related Content.

german shepherd doberman mix puppies for sale near me - Tweet on Twitter A six week old puppy is an adorable bundle of fun. He looks pretty sturdy and independent too and you may wonder if its okay to bring him home to live with you right now. How much should a 6 week old puppy Lab weigh? How much a puppy weighs at six weeks old will depend on a number of factors. If his parents were bigger than average, then he probably will be too. The chances are, he will weigh in at somewhere between 10 and 15lbs. If his parents were small, he might weigh less. Labradors from working lines are often lighter than their show or pet bred cousins. Hop over to our guide to puppy growth to find out more about this fascinating topic. How many teeth do 6 week old puppies have Your six week old puppy probably has a full set of baby teeth — if not, he will have a full set within the next week or two. We have a great guide to puppy teething where you can find out more. Are 6 week old puppies weaned? Many puppies are fully weaned onto solid food by about six weeks old. They may still be suckling occasionally from their mother, but are no longer dependent on her for milk. This has to be divided into small portions fed at intervals throughout the day. You can find out more about what puppies eat in our popular puppy feeding guide. At six weeks old your puppy will need very frequent meals How many meals does a 6 week old puppy need Your breeder may be feeding your puppy and her brothers and sisters up to six times a day. There needs to be an adult present throughout the day to cope with the constant feeding and de-pooping. By the time she is ready to collect at 8 weeks, your pup will be down to four slightly bigger meals a day. Do 6 week old puppies play? Six week old puppies play a lot. They play with their mother, and most of all with their brothers and sisters. This play is very important as it teaches the puppies to be more gentle with their teeth and to get used to being jostled and bumped about by other living things. Why do 6 week old puppies sleep so much? At six weeks, a puppy is still very much a baby and needs lots of deep sleep. At least 18 hours a day. Your puppy sleeps best in a big heap with all her brothers and sisters, or snuggled up against her mother. She uses that sleeping time to grow, mature, and develop her immunity. Are six week old puppies potty trained By six weeks puppies are able to leave the nest or whelping box for bathroom purposes and know how to keep their sleeping quarters nice and clean. Can 6 week old puppies leave their mother At six weeks, a puppy needs his mother for play, contact and reassurance. Is it okay to bring a puppy home at 6 weeks? But supposing there are exceptional circumstances? Is it okay to bring a puppy home at six weeks if you really need to? Even more importantly than his need for his mother, a six week old pup needs his litter mates. So even if his mother were to tragically die, your puppy should still remain with his brothers and sisters for a short while longer. This helps him to develop bite inhibition and social skills. Bite inhibition The process of learning bite inhibition is a long one. It begins whilst puppies are quite small and first learning to play with one another and with their mother. And it carries on until they are several months old. By the time you bring a puppy home at eight weeks, however needle sharp you think his teeth are, he has already learned a lot of bite inhibition from his mum and siblings. Although you have to continue this process, some of the hard work has already been done. At nine weeks, my own young pup could crush the bone in a chicken wing in seconds, yet never actually even drew blood when biting my fingers. This is not easy and has to be done in stages. You cannot just punish the dog for all biting or it will not learn the vital skill of bite inhibition. You can read more about bite inhibition here. Bite inhibition problems are more likely with puppies that have been removed from their mother too early, and can be very difficult to manage if you have small children. Touch tolerance A puppy in the nest is being jostled constantly. This puppy still needs his littermates to help him learn to play nicely. Labrador puppies that are removed from this jostling experience too young may dislike being touched or bumped in certain parts of their bodies. There is a potential for this to lead to behavioral problems, including aggression, later in life. And that can be a challenge. Resist the temptation If a breeder asks you to take a puppy home at five to six weeks of age, be very suspicious. Only in the most dire circumstances should a breeder let puppies go this young. Bear in mind that some disreputable breeders will make up excuses to get rid of puppies when they get to this age. This is the point at which the puppies are becoming both time consuming, messy, and expensive to care for. It is a full time job keeping them fed and clean for the next couple of weeks. But a responsible breeder will have prepared for that. Short of a personal disaster, no reputable breeder will normally request or permit a puppy to leave her premises before eight weeks. Even more concerning is the practice of selling puppies at four or five weeks old, or in some cases, younger. So perhaps breeding standards are rising. But I do want to address one argument put to me recently. I received a letter from a reader in India who felt I did not understand the situation there. He told me that in many cases, breeders were so awful that puppies were most likely to survive if removed from them at the earliest possible opportunity. The problem with this argument is exactly the same as the argument here in the UK or in the USA against buying puppies from puppy mills or pet stores, or out of the back of a van. And in may cases to an early death. The breeder is only in it for money, so every puppy they sell, they will replace with another. Short of dramatic changes in the law which are not going to happen any time soon, the only way to stop this horrible trade is to dry up the demand for poorly bred puppies. And that is really down to you, the puppy buyer. The outlook for the adult female dogs used to produce those puppies is even worse, so please spare a thought for them too. Buying a puppy from the wrong breeder just perpetuates bad breeding practices. The answer is to walk away and find someone that is breeding dogs responsibly. Your two week wait! So what can you do between the time your puppy is six weeks old and the day he is ready to come home? You can be busy getting your home and yard puppy proof, and buying essential puppy supplies, toys and bedding. Dip into our Puppy Essentials list for ideas! Either way, this is not the person you want to be responsible for giving your puppy the best start in life Again, please, do think hard before bringing a young puppy home before he or she is eight weeks old. She helps you avoid puppy mills and other pitfalls along the way. Choosing The Perfect Puppy takes all the strain out of making this important decision and is available worldwide. Save to Pinterest The Stages of Puppy Growth and Development Month by Month The following are the stages of puppy growth and development, starting at birth and ending when your dog reaches adulthood. The Neonatal Stage 0 to 2 weeks This is the newborn puppy growth stage that lasts until two weeks of age. At this developmental stage, puppies are blind and deaf. Expect puppies at this point to sleep almost constantly and their mother will take care of everything, keeping them warm, feeding them, and keeping them clean. The Transitional Stage 2 to 4 weeks At this puppy growth stage , they will start to open up their eyes and respond to sounds, light, and movement around them. You will also notice a puppy at this point starting to get more mobile, although they will still tend to crawl instead of walking. They do, however, have enough strength to stand up, but will stumble a lot. A puppy in this developmental stage will just be starting to recognize their siblings and mother. Lab puppies open their eyes at about two weeks old. By this time, Labrador puppies will have their eyes fully open and most will be at least partly open. Ears open at this point too and your puppy will begin to hear. Period of Awakening of Senses 3 to 4 weeks At this period , a puppy develops various senses rapidly. They start to get fully alert and aware of their environment and may recognize you and other humans that are frequently around. The Socialization Period 4 to 7 Weeks Once a puppy is around four weeks old, they start to learn the most important things in life-related to social development. They will learn to not bite all the time and how to interact with their siblings. Interactions with humans are especially important between five and seven weeks. This is also the time they will start to understand discipline thanks to their mother. She will start weaning her puppies and teaching them manners, like acknowledging she is in charge. As the owner, you can start introducing food to your puppy when they are around four weeks old. Start small and begin to give them more food as the mother continues to wean them. You should also continue handling the puppy every day. However, be sure not to separate them from their siblings or mother for over ten minutes each day, since this can lead to issues with training and socialization. Dogs who are separated too soon may also be nervous and more likely to bark and bite. During this period, let the mother dog take care of discipline; you should not correct the dog for mouthing or housebreaking mistakes until later in life. To help ease them through this process, avoid traumatic events, loud voices, or harsh discipline. You should also make sure your pooch has plenty of human contact during this stage. If you want, you can start leash training and even teach simple commands such as sit, down, stay and come. In terms of development, you will notice that your puppy can sleep through the whole night and starts to develop better control of its bowels and bladder. Most vets suggest that new outings should wait until they are fully vaccinated. We rub the Calmeroos Puppy Toy on littermates and mom to get their scent. When we get home the Calmeroos Puppy Toy helps our puppy feel comfortable and adjust more quickly to his new environment. Many puppies will go to their new homes at around 8 weeks old. We recently put together a blog post on our sister site detailing what you can expect from an 8-week-old puppy. The Juvenile Stage 3 to 4 Months At this point in development, a puppy can be compared to a juvenile. They will be more independent and may ignore the basic commands that they know very well. If this happens, firmly and gently reinforce the commands and other training. You may also notice your pup starting to test your authority by play biting or similar actions. You can also redirect your dog to a toy that they can bite. Either can end up teaching your pooch that it is okay to fight with you and challenge your authority. The Ranking Period 3 to 6 Months When your puppy is between four and six months old, you should expect them to be somewhat bratty, showing more willfulness and independence.
