Over the years I learned so much and gained a lot of experience that has helped me excel as a breeder. While I was attending college, I ended up meeting my husband. He also shared my passion in dogs. She was my dream come true and truly encouraged me to be the breeder I am today. I fell in love with a dark female puppy from the litter. Over time and seeing so many families pleased with our puppies we wanted to grow. We felt that a large property was a must for our dogs to exercise and play. We ended up selling our first home and purchasing the house where we reside now. Technically our mailing address is in Greenville however we are in fact in South Westerlo within the hills of Albany county. Both of our families are from the area, so the transition was very supportive and the location is very easy to travel from or to the New York State Thruway or from Interstate I.Soon after our move we have spent so much time with creating the best environment and care for our dogs. Throughout the year we get visited by the state and AKC to verify our dogs are in the best care possible. Everything was thought of during this build. The building consists of two floors. Fans are optional throughout the entire interior. We have additional propane heaters that will work with no electricity. The floors have built in drainage and are covered in grippy flecked epoxy. Our dogs have constant access to water and have comfortable Kuranda beds to lay on. We have designated areas for our older puppies after mom is done nursing them. These areas consist of very nice over-sized play areas. The walls are made out of washable white plastic, and we use g-flooring with fresh wood chips for the bedding. The puppies have plenty of toys and their own Kuranda bed s that they love to lay on or hide below it. Our outside run area consists of a fully covered roof, so our dogs are protected from the elements, with lighting and fans. The play area has over feet of beautiful black chain link fencing. The large play area also offers a doggy playground area where they have plenty of toys to tug and pull on. About our Dogs: We strive to provide the best and healthiest lines of Golden Retrievers. We spend endless hours in search and communication with multiple breeders from all over the United States. Checking pedigrees and clearances prior to committing with a new line. We have made some amazing relationships with some of the best breeders, all of which share the same common goal of breeding healthy AKC Golden Retrievers. We raise and train all of our puppies within our home. We work with commands, potty training, and socialization on many different platforms and various environments. Early on we are verifying their personality and traits are conclusive with a possible prospect for future breeding. As time goes on, we decide if they are a good candidate or not for breeding. If they are a good candidate additional health testing is scheduled per their age. We conduct several medical tests to verify healthy lines prior to breeding. The health tests set us apart from most breeders that claim their dogs are healthy per a veterinarian check or that claim that they conduct DNA genetic health testing but nothing else. One of the first health tests that we conduct and one of the most important tests on all our dogs, is DNA genetic testing. We have used Animal Genetics in the past but have been shifting towards using Embark. This test allows us to verify we have the best pairing of parents prior to breeding and that we are not passing on bad genes that could be avoidable issues in the future. After our dogs turn 1, they proceed to get OFA testing of their eyes and heart. A specialist either looks at their eyes or heart to verify they have no health conditions that could be passed to their offspring. If we are lucky enough that our young golden passes, we will move forward to the next health testing stage. The next health test that we typically conduct once our young golden is 1. While they are sedated to have these x-rays we usually also have Penn Hip testing done. Also, per our vet the Penn Hip is a better test to know the overall health of the hips as they test the elasticity and movement rather then judging based on an image. Last health test we do is done at the age of 2 years old. As the dogs age their bones calcify, a dog with failing elbow or hips younger then 2 could very well change to passing once they turn 2. Under each dog there is a link from K9 data. Unfortunately K9 data will not allow preliminary testing information in the link which is the OFA elbow and hip test results if the dog is under 2 years of age when the test is conducted. However we do list the preliminary test results under each dog. Once we have the official results K9 data will be updated to reflect their latest test results. We are constantly conducting health tests and updating K9 data as well as the webpage. Lots of factors could play into why a dog could fail their OFA elbows or hip tests. It may not necessarily be genetic but instead could be from the environment that they are raised in. Limiting their jumping heights is extremely important. Simply slipping on ice can cause unforeseen affects to their overall development. It is also highly recommended for additional joint supplements as they grow, we prefer the use of NuVet supplements see link on website tab for further information on NuVet products. Lack of vitamin C in their food is another considered attribute to not having passing scores. All of these factors are highly overseen during the raising of our potential breeding dogs. Unfortunately, sometimes our dogs do not pass all of their tests. We sometimes keep them, but we also have found amazing homes for them. We are even more particular in their home placement as we know their personalities and what would be the best fit. They will be spayed prior or be contracted to be spayed soon after being placed in their new homes. We are very focused on ensuring we know our breeding stock through both their individual health and their genealogy testing. Our dogs and puppies get a lot of socializing. Daily they are engaged with our other dogs, our young sons, our friends, and other family members. They all get a ton of love and attention. This ensures they keep up on their house manners and it also makes it incredibly easier when pregnant moms deliver within our home. Our dogs are not kept outdoors like you might see with other breeders. We also have them go into large fenced in play areas where they play in large groups with each other. We do not show our dogs or conduct any competitions with them. When I am not raising my children, I am constantly spending time with my dogs or interacting with potential customers. My husband works many hours in his law enforcement career to dedicate any additional time in competitions, trials, or shows. Once he retires and the children are older, we may pursue that however it is not our current focus. Some of the lighter goldens that we have also known as English Creams do have championship titles in their bloodlines as does our darker red field goldens. Any of our puppies with proper training could and would be amazing for shows or hunting trials as its in their bloodline. About our Puppies: I usually make the determination of puppies after 30 days of a breeding. I have my own ultrasound machine and can get a good determination of how many puppies are present. It does not give me an exact count. Only way to really narrow down the number of puppies is by an x-ray, around the day mark. I do not conduct my own x-rays and that would require a visit to the animal hospital. To reduce stress on mom and the puppies we do not do x-rays. I get a final count upon delivery keeping mom where she is most comfortable. Delivery of puppies take place in my home around the days after being bred, unless an emergency C-section requires otherwise. Typically, all our puppies are delivered naturally. Someone is always with the mother for the entire delivery. It is very strenuous but has the best outcome for both mom and pups. When all the puppies are born, we will post pictures on the Facebook page. We will then reach out to anyone on our waiting list. If by chance, there are any extra puppies we will make an announcement on Facebook after exhausting our wait list. Sometimes people back out and puppies do come up available at various times. During the initial few days into the few weeks mom and puppies are spending a lot of quality time together. We are keeping a close attention that everyone is gaining weight and seem to be progressing. The pups are handled daily by us. After about 2 weeks eyes and ears will begin to open. The fourth week they are starting to find their legs and moving around exploring. The fifth week if all are doing well, I begin the weaning process where mom is nursing less and less as I introduce kibble to their diet. We begin the deworming process and also begin the first vaccine. We do not travel with the puppies to an animal hospital. I feel it could be stressful for the puppies and creates an opportunity for the puppies to be exposed to other pet sicknesses. I have a traveling vet come and conduct full physicals on all of the puppies. You will receive a copy of her report in the puppy folder upon pickup date. We have outside play areas and toys for them to interact with. They will also be played with by children and handled by adults. They will have several toys to interact with. Obstacles will be in there play pens to learn jumping and crawling. Process Purchasing a Puppy: If you decide that you would like to move forward with getting a puppy, we recommend that you first look at the females and the males that we have. Sometimes the males could change if multiple females come into heat at the same time. We also have an additional tab where you can view planned future breeding so you can have a better idea of potential pairings. Next, I would like to have a phone interview so we can find out more about yourself and the home that a puppy of mine would be going to. In our discussion I would like to know which mother you were leaning towards and whether you prefer a male or female puppy. I can go over all additional questions that you may have including total costs. If both parties are fully satisfied, I will move forward with sending you over the contract. I sell all my puppies with limited AKC registration. Under certain circumstances I will offer full AKC registration for an additional charge. If you are wondering what the difference is between limited and full registration. Limited registration means you can never breed a puppy from me and it will be expected upon proper age that the dog is spayed. Full registration is only for breeders that want to purchase a puppy with intentions of breeding. I am not against giving another breeder full registration however it must be discussed prior, and all requirements must be met that I have. I do require the final payment to be in cash upon pickup of the puppy, so there no issues of bounced checks or issues with sending monies from one bank institution to another. No exceptions. I typically only reserve the first 3 females and the first 3 males as there are no guarantees of how many puppies are born. I go in order of when I am contacted. For an example if you contacted me in May for a female, and John Doe contacted me in January for a female from the same mother then John Doe will get first pick and you would get second pick. It seems to be the fairest method I have come across and will be moving forward with that process unless I discover a better way. I also reserve the right to have first pick so I can sustain my future breeding line as it dictates. I do not allow visitation to the puppies until they are ready for pickup. It also increases the chances for the puppies to get sick and potentially all die from a condition call parvo, as they are not full vaccinated. I have scheduled meetings with individuals that would like to meet me and the adult dogs fully vaccinated prior to making a commitment but not when I have current litters. I would recommend if you want to see the puppies earlier to log into Facebook and follow my page on there. I conduct live videos where you can see all the puppies. After a few weeks old we begin to collar them so you can tell them apart better. I do not place or pick certain pups for certain homes. Some people may not like that due to a puppies drive or behavior. I personally feel training is key to your dogs behavior. You have to spend time with this puppy and be consistent. Goldens just want to please you, but they will test you to learn their place in the household. If you lack experience in training dogs, I do recommend you work with a trainer and read literature so you can achieve the most success with your puppy. You will get an hour to choose your puppy. Please be mindful as I will have others scheduled after your hour of time is completed. I will need some of that time to go over paperwork that is required through the state to complete. I have no problems if you want to bring a trainer or conduct your own tests to see if one puppy might be a better fit based on their opinion. Please be respectful of my property and do not go adventuring around wherever you may like without me being present. Once you pick your puppy and all paperwork has been completed, you will be provided with vet records of your puppy and the vaccines that were previously given. At this time, I do not microchip any puppies. I personally feel the best time to microchip a puppy is when they are sedated which I recommend during the spay. We do require that you schedule an appointment with your vet within 14 days of the pickup date. You may want to schedule this prior to arrival as animal hospitals have been extremely busy. We will have gift bag for you. There will be some surprises in there for your pup, including enough puppy food for the next several days so you can either remain on it or gradually change the food to one of your liking. We highly recommend slowly changing the food over time if you decide to change it as they have extremely sensitive stomachs at this age. Sybil and Knox had a handsome litter of eight males 9.

What makes a good Frenchie bed? Size: The bed should be large enough for your French Bulldog to comfortably stretch out in all directions, but not so large that they feel insecure. French Bulldogs are medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 16 to 28 pounds, so a medium-sized bed usually works well. Heating or Cooling Features: French Bulldogs are sensitive to extreme temperatures. If you live in a very cold or hot climate, consider a bed with self-warming or cooling properties. Bolsters or Raised Edges: Many dogs, including French Bulldogs, like to curl up or rest their head on a raised surface. Beds with bolsters or raised edges can provide this comfort. Durability: French Bulldogs can be quite playful and energetic. Therefore, their bed should be able to withstand their energy levels and remain sturdy and intact even after some rough play.

Frenchies are prone to certain health issues, including joint problems like hip dysplasia and spinal disorders. By choosing a high-quality bed specifically designed for their needs, you can help alleviate these issues. These beds often feature orthopedic memory foam or supportive materials that contour to your Frenchie's body shape, providing optimal support and reducing stress on their joints. Enhanced comfort and relaxation, leading to better overall well-being Another advantage of providing your Frenchie with a top-notch bed is the enhanced comfort and relaxation it offers. Just like humans, dogs need a comfortable place to rest and unwind after an active day. A good bed will provide them with a cozy spot where they can relax, stretch out, or curl up comfortably. This level of comfort promotes better sleep quality, allowing your Frenchie to recharge their energy levels effectively. With improved rest, they'll wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day full of adventures. Reduction in pressure points, promoting healthier sleep patterns A well-designed bed can also help reduce pressure points on your Frenchie's body while they sleep. Pressure points occur when certain areas bear more weight than others due to improper cushioning or lack thereof. By using a bed that evenly distributes their weight across its surface, you can prevent discomfort caused by excessive pressure on specific areas such as elbows or hips. This reduction in pressure points not only ensures more restful sleep but also helps promote healthier sleep patterns overall. Key Features to Consider When Buying Beds for French Bulldogs French Bulldogs are adorable and lovable companions, but finding the best bed for them can be a challenging task. To ensure your Frenchie gets the restful sleep they deserve, there are several key features you should consider when purchasing a bed. Here are some important factors to keep in mind: Size and Dimensions Suitable for Your Frenchie's Breed and Weight French Bulldogs may be small in size, but they have unique needs. Considering their breed and weight is crucial to provide them with optimal comfort. Look for beds specifically designed for large dogs or those tailored to accommodate the specific characteristics of French Bulldogs. When selecting a bed, make sure it offers enough space for your Frenchie to stretch out comfortably. A cramped bed can lead to discomfort and restless nights. Check the weight capacity of the bed to ensure it can support your furry friend adequately. Orthopedic or Memory Foam Options to Alleviate Joint Pain and Arthritis Symptoms As French Bulldogs age, they may develop joint pain or arthritis, making it essential to prioritize their comfort while sleeping. Opting for an orthopedic or memory foam bed can provide much-needed relief from these conditions. Orthopedic beds are designed with supportive materials that conform to your Frenchie's body shape, relieving pressure on their joints. Memory foam beds offer similar benefits by contouring their body while also providing excellent cushioning. Easy-to-Clean Materials That Are Durable and Resistant to Wear French Bulldogs are known for shedding hair, so choosing a bed with easy-to-clean materials is essential. Look for options that come with removable covers that can be machine-washed regularly. This will help maintain hygiene and keep your Frenchie's sleeping area fresh. Durability is vital as Frenchies can be playful and prone to chewing or scratching. Beds made from robust materials such as nylon or canvas are more likely to withstand their energetic antics.

Investing in a quality bed shows your love and care for your furry friend while ensuring they have a cozy spot to rest after playtime or long walks.

It is recommended to wash your Frenchie's bed every weeks to maintain cleanliness and prevent the buildup of dirt, hair, and odors. Can I use a human mattress for my French Bulldog? While it may seem tempting, using a human mattress for your French Bulldog is not ideal. Dog beds are specifically designed with their needs in mind, providing appropriate support and comfort. Are orthopedic beds necessary for French Bulldogs? Orthopedic beds can be beneficial for French Bulldogs, especially if they have joint or muscle issues. These beds offer extra support and help alleviate pressure points during sleep. Should I choose a bed with raised sides or an open design? The choice between raised sides and an open design depends on your Frenchie's preferences. Some dogs prefer the coziness of raised sides, while others enjoy the freedom of movement provided by an open design. Can I use a cooling gel bed year-round? Cooling gel beds are particularly useful during warmer months but can be used year-round. They provide a refreshing surface that helps regulate your Frenchie's body temperature. How long do dog beds typically last? The lifespan of a dog bed varies depending on factors such as quality, usage frequency, and the dog's behavior. On average, a high-quality dog bed can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years. Is it worth investing in an expensive dog bed? Investing in a high-quality dog bed is worthwhile as it ensures durability, comfort, and support for your French Bulldog.

A dog is not just a pet, but a lifelong friend and companion. English Bulldog is one such breed who is extremely loyal, friendly, brave and have a strong sense of dedication towards their owners. They will stick to you like glue throughout their lifetime. How to teach an English bulldog not to bite? Bulldogs can bite for several reasons, but mostly they bite when they feel provoked or threatened. Puppies bite because they have not yet learned how to play properly with humans. Here are step by step instructions to teach your bulldog not to bite. Sit down and play with your bulldog. Let them bite your hand. Your bulldog should be startled, release, and step back. You can spray something bitter in their mouth to further the consequence if your bulldog is not starting to understand after going through steps a few times. An English bulldog looks scary and grumpy but is very calm and amiable. Many people are afraid of the English bulldogs because of their somewhat aggressive appearance, but they are the friendliest of all breeds. They are lovers and not fighters. Bulldogs make wonderful apartment pets and are mainly low-endurance dogs. But all dogs can have the bad habit of biting. An un-socialized adult English bulldog will also nip and bite. Under these circumstances, you should keep your English bulldog away from other dogs and people. It is important to make sure your bulldog learns not to nip and bite as biting will further the stereotype that bulldogs are dangerous, when they are really not dangerous at all when they are loved, trained, and socialized. How to Teach Your English Bulldog Puppy to Not Bite Every English bulldog goes through the puppy stage and learns to interact with others by biting, nipping, and licking. Biting occurs when your puppy is growing and exploring their environment. Your English bulldog puppy may not hurt you intentionally, but as a puppy he is still capable of inflicting harm to you. If this behavior is not rectified and controlled, your puppy can carry this into adulthood. No, And Here's Why! Your puppy might grow up thinking that there is nothing wrong in biting and nipping humans. As their teeth grow and their weight also increases, the harmless biting which you once found cute can turn into rough bites and play. An English bulldog is not aggressive by nature but like other dogs can show aggression if provoked. They are ferociously protective of their owners and others in the family. If they feel their owner or loved ones are threatened, they can turn defensive and show signs of belligerence. English bulldogs are calm and gentle with their owners but are chary of other dogs and strangers. Therefore, it is imperative to socialize your bulldog properly and make them feel safe around other dogs and people. There are chances that if your English bulldog is inadequately socialized, he will react fiercely to what he sees to be a threat to your safety or their own. Your puppy bites because he does not know how to play with humans and needs to be trained to stop biting. You can hire a dog trainer to do that or can do it by yourself. You should train your dog that it is unacceptable to bite and encourage them to play games with toys. Learn more in our article Help! Bulldog Teething and Biting When your English bulldog puppy is 3 to 6 months old, there are chances that your puppy may be teething. At this time your puppy will put virtually everything in his mouth. They do this because they need something to chew on, to alleviate the pain and discomfort. You can give him ice cubes to numb his gums and mitigate the pain. When your puppy is teething, you can also give him things he can chew on. You can give him old washed rags kept in the freezer, hard rubber balls, or nylon bones. When your puppy bites you hard just yell as loudly as you can and pretend to be hurt. This will startle your puppy and ensure that he releases pressure. You must continue this until your puppy starts refraining from nipping and biting. This way your puppy will learn that biting can be a hazard to their friends and humans. They will learn that skin is sensitive and should be only pressed down lightly. Eventually your puppy will become gentler to you during their playtime. When your puppy bites you stop playing with him. Avoid petting, talking and even looking at your puppy. Never show aggression or give physical punishment to the puppy while training him. He will become defensive and grow up to be more aggressive. Remember to praise your puppy for good behavior. Socialize your English bulldog puppy to be more comfortable around strangers also. Socializing will help stop your puppy biting your feet and the feet of visitors. You can walk your puppy to dog parks and public places. You can also visit your family and friends with your English bulldog puppy to help him develop trust with them. English bulldog puppies easily get excited with movements. So, if your puppy sees you moving your feet or any sudden movement, he will swoop into attack. Stop right there and this will make your puppy settle down. When puppies see children running around, they also want to run and play with everybody else and could bite their feet. Use dog commands like Sit, Stay, and Down. Always keep treats in handy while training your puppy to motivate him. If this does not work, then simply walk away. To discipline your adult bulldog, you must leave him alone. Still, if your dog persists to bite, you can seek professional help to curb his habit of biting and nipping. Lastly, do not try to put your adult English bulldog into situations he is not very comfortable in or those which will provoke him. If you know your dog does not like other dogs, keep him away from those dogs. You can also use a spray bottle to spray something with a bitter taste into their mouth when your bulldog bites. I have seen people use lemon juice. Be aware that excessive lemon juice will cause an upset stomach and possibly diarrhea for dogs, so find something else with a bitter taste that is safe for dogs to teach them a negative consequence for biting. The bite force of the English bulldog is pounds per square inch psi. Psi shows us how much pressure is exerted on one square inch of space. This is enough to cut muscles and break bones.

Post Views: 2, Contact Why do Bulldogs Bite Feet? And What to Do! When you look at a French or English bulldog you see innocence, intelligence, and a pleasant demeanor. When you look at an American bulldog it is easy to see aggression and strength. However, American bulldogs have similar characteristics as its fellow bulldog breeds. They are loyal and loving companions. But regardless of bulldog breed, all bulldogs have a flatter face with a more defined jaw. This jaw is extremely powerful and the bulldog will use it to protect its family or as a cautionary warning if a stranger spooks it. Bulldogs can bite and they bite very hard. Why do bulldogs bite feet? This is typical of adolescent bulldogs that are going through a learning phase. Biting can occur while the pup is growing and learning how to interact with others. The problem with feet is their accessibility to a bulldogs mouth. Whether walking, sitting, or resting on the floor this leaves feet open to be bit or nipped. This action can be corrected. Luckily, a bulldog can be taught to not bite the hand or foot that feeds it. Any bulldog can also be socialized to be more comfortable around strangers as well. Meaning sniffs and seeking attention.

Especially if it is weary of strangers and easy to provoke. Why do bulldogs bite so much Even though a bulldog can grow to be a loyal and dependent companion, it will go through the puppy stage. All dogs go through the puppy stage where it is learning what habits are good or bad. Biting is a very common stage among all breeds of dogs as a puppy. This stage is commonly known as teething. The puppy is learning its boundaries and adapting to its new environment. During this teething stage, you will be bit by your puppy. There is no question about it. Also, sudden movement can trigger the natural dog in it to pounce. Example: you stand up quickly and go to the kitchen to grab a snack. I mentioned it being powerful, but this specific feature was bred with a purpose into the bulldog. Imagine the bulldogs flat nose equating to a pair of flat nose pliers. Flat nose pliers are much stronger than needle nose pliers. They easily latch onto things and have a firm grasp. This is similar to a bulldog. Because they have a short jaw and flat nose, they can firmly clamp and latch onto whatever they bite. The muscles in the jawline and a bulldogs muscular body physique only strengthen the bite and pull. Not to strike fear in you though, bulldogs are normally loving and gentle animals once they have been trained. They are known to be great around small children, watchful of others, and patient. Just because a bulldog has this powerful bite should not distract you from their natural ability to protect and remain steadfast as a companion dog to their family.

This,too, shall pass but not for awhile! I have never used their crate as punishment,as I did not want them to hate it. They sleep in their crate at night.

Pin1 1 Shares When Claude the French Bulldog was a puppy, he had this annoying habit of biting at my heels. Thankfully he seems to have grown out of it and it was probably due to his teething stages. But with other dogs, they can be obsessed with feet and even bite ankles. But why do dogs nip at your heels, and can you stop it? Why does my dog bite at my feet when I walk? Ankle and feet biting can will often be a hereditary trait from when dogs used to be used for herding or guarding livestock. Biting feet is emulating the herding behavior they were initially bred for. It can also be due to puppy teething, or for the dog to assert authority over you. Why does my dog bite my feet when I walk? Some dogs will develop a fascination for human feet and ankles at an early age. As they start to teethe, they develop a liking for using their mouth instead of their paws to pick and move objects. Handy Hint: For more information on teething, read this guide to the different stages of teething and what to expect from your puppy. This might be cute at first but may grow into an aggressive and harmful behavior as they develop into adults. As I also described earlier, dogs have been used to herd animals and livestock, and this was how they used to herd animals around. Some people believe this is still buried deep within their psyche, and a hereditary trait from earlier times. Why do dogs nip at your heels? Puppies will often bite your feet when you walk, and most will grow out of it. Dogs spend a lot of time investigating, chewing, and playing with objects. This behavior is often cute and harmless when the dog is less than seven weeks old. After that, it becomes endearing. Remember that hitting and slapping your dog for nipping may cause him to bite more aggressively. Avoid subjecting him to any forms of punishment such as whacking on the nose, scruff shaking, and sticking fingers down his throat. These may scare him. A tiny break, tear, or puncture on your skin increases the chances of infection. Wash the injury immediately before applying any antibacterial ointments. Use a sterile bandage to cover it. If you experience any swelling, pus, or redness, consult a medical expert. Deep bites that do not stop bleeding may require stitching. For some dogs, biting can be a form of aggression that develops out of frustration or fear. Your dog may feel anxious when someone passes him on the street. It may not be easy to differentiate between biting that results from aggressive behavior and one that is playful. Playful dogs have a relaxed face and body. Their biting is also less painful and less serious. An aggressive dog will have a stiff body accompanied by quick and painful bites. For example, you could ask him to stay or sit when a person approach. You may need to carry treats during practice. The idea is to eventually treat your dog once the person has passed. Biting in adult dogs is harder to solve than in puppies. This is because the former are less sensitive to reactions and more difficult to control due to their large physical size. Here are five solutions that worked for me and my dog: 1. However, when the mouthing turns into painful bites, the dog on the receiving end yelps to stop the other one from biting more. You can emulate this by making a yelping sound whenever your dog bites you. Once it releases, ignore it for about twenty seconds before going back to play. You can substitute the yelping sound with an alternative verbal deterrent. Keep still Moving or jerking your feet encourages your dog to keep biting. The more you resist, the more your dog wants to bite. Stop in your tracks when you see your dog approaching. Resist any sort of movement. You become less exciting to play with. This prevents the dog from latching on you or treating you like a tug toy. If he starts to bite your feet, stop moving and wave the chew toy at him until he gets distracted. Once he grabs or latches at the toy, continue moving. It might because they have nothing else to chew on! Provide different and safe chew toys that he can gnaw instead of clinging to your feet all the time. Here are some great teething toys I recommend for ankle and heel biters. Non-contact play Rather than wrestling with your dog and engaging in rough play, encourage games that have little to no contact. This can either be tug-of-war or fetch. A game of tug-of-war prepares your dog to deal with frustration and arousal. Once you can play safely, carry tug toys that you can use to redirect your dog to whenever he starts to bite your feet. Spray it on areas of your clothing and body that your dog is fond of biting. Once he starts nipping at your heels, stay still and wait for him to experience the bad taste produced by the deterrent. Praise or reward him once he lets go. Use the deterrent for a period of at least two weeks. After multiple experiences with the bitter taste, your dog will most likely stop with the biting behavior. Taste deterrents can either be spicy hot or bitter. Watch how your dog reacts to them. Look out for drooling, retching, or shaking of the head. Why is my dog obsessed with feet? Your dog may spend much of its time at your feet as an indication of submissiveness and domesticity or, as an attempt to show you that they love you and want your approval and attention. This foot obsession is more common than you might think. Sometimes, your dog may want to gather information by noting your scent and sweat. Other times, it may be to look for food or relieve stress through the release of endorphins. Why does my dog lay on my feet? Dogs may lay on your feet to mark their territory. In the wild, dogs sleep close to each other as a way of staying warm and protecting themselves. Often, the leader of the pack has the best spot and the rest will lay as close as possible to him. When your dog lays close to you, he perceives you as the leader. You might also be interested in the following guides:. Or chew on furniture? Although known for their sedate behavior, bulldogs can sometimes have a tendency to bite people, especially strangers. This aggressive behavior can be curbed.

All bulldogs go through a biting phase when they are puppies due to teething pain. Eventually, bulldogs grow out of this phase. If a bulldog does not stop biting by 12 months of age, it usually reflects a lack of training or signs of owner protection or jealousy. Photo by The Bulldog Blog How to get bulldogs to stop biting? Here are some reasons why your bulldog might be biting people: 1. Lack of training: If you have recently welcomed an English bulldog to your home, especially one that might be older, they might not have the training yet to not bite, or know that it is a bad behavior. Owner protection: English bulldogs are fiercely protective of their owners. When they detect any threat, they often bite. Jealousy: English bulldogs often crave the attention of their owners. And, if they are unable to get that attention, they might attack whatever object or person is detracting your attention from them, which can be another person or a dog. Now that you know what is causing your bulldog to bite and act out, here are 14 guaranteed strategies to help reduce this behavior: 14 confirmed strategies that will stop English bulldogs from biting In this post, we will discuss not one or two, but 14 verified strategies that can help you prevent your English bulldog from biting. They might not all work for you, but we hope that some of these strategies will be helpful in nipping this behavior in the bud. And the best way to show them that you are upset or displeased by their behavior is to yell at them. Use a stern voice and be forceful. While this strategy might not produce results in the first or second attempt, your bulldog will slowly understand after a few scoldings. Use a squirt bottle A quick squirt in the face whenever your bulldog starts to bite should quickly reduce this bad behavior. Walk Away Bulldogs, like children, can crave attention. And sometimes it can be effective to deny them that attention and just walk away. They will learn to soon associate that bad behavior with you walking away, and stop doing it. Work on socializing your dog One of the reasons why English bulldogs bite is because they are not familiar with the people or dogs that they are snapping at. So, to decrease that anxiety, start introducing your bulldog to other people, children, and animals early on. Socializing them with other dogs and people will help them better identify threats as well. Neuter your dog You might be thinking, how can neutering stop your dog from biting people? Neutered dogs are less aggressive, that is why the probability that they will bite someone or another dog is on the lower side. Be sure to check with your vet on the right time is to neuter your dog. Curb the habit when they are young One of the best ways to prevent your English bulldog from biting is to curb this behavior when they are young. And while it might be cute at the beginning when puppies bite and snap, you should learn to shut down this behavior early on, so that it does not grow into a bad habit. Showing that when they bite you, you get hurt, will help them understand that biting is a strict no-no. In these cases, giving them something else to chew on can be helpful. As a result, there will be no need for the dog to bite or chew on anything else. Help your dog expend energy Sometimes bulldogs might exhibit aggressive behavior because they have pent up energy that they are trying to release. When you play with your dog or take your dog outdoors frequently, it becomes easy for the dog to expend energy and will likely lead to them being less aggressive. Whenever the dog is unhappy or afraid due to someone invading its territory, the likelihood of a bite is on the higher side. You have to look out for body language. If you notice these signs, it is better to give your dog some space, and separate them from any strangers, human or otherwise. It is also helpful to talk to them sweetly and try and alleviate those fears by comforting them. Show your dog who is boss At the end of the day, you are the pack leader, and your dog needs to know that. When your bulldog recognizes that you are the alpha dog in this relationship, he or she will respect you better and will follow your rules. Sometimes the best way to do this is to isolate them for a short time, to show them your displeasure. This is only effective if it is done immediately after the wrong behavior, so that they associate that behavior with this punishment. Opt for professional training Another way is to opt for professional obedience training. But, we do recommend that owners attend some of these classes, as you might learn some tricks as well! Consult a vet If your dog is persistently aggressive, and is not showing signs of improvement, you might consider taking them to the vet. Aggression is a symptom of a lot of diseases and ailments that your English bulldog could be suffering from. Be patient Training takes time, and you need to give your dog and yourself the benefit of the doubt. You have to let your dog absorb things and understand what behaviors are good and what are bad.

With a coat that's relatively clean and maintenance-free, even if your pup indulges in a mud puddle now and again, you can expect bath time to be infrequent at best. Non-Bathing Beauty A boxer dog is a real looker, but not necessarily a bathing beauty. It is not unheard of for a full-grown boxer to go several months without a bath -- her short, sleek coat stays clean through her daily, cat-style licking techniques. A boxer pup is no exception; you should bathe her as infrequently as possible to preserve the natural oils on her coat. Where and How Get your pup accustomed to any grooming process at a young age so she won't put up a stink later on in life. Bathe your boxer pup ASAP if she has a run-in with a cow pie, a skunk or a mud puddle. Beyond that, it's not necessary to schedule a routine beauty treatment for your wash-and-wear fur child. When you want to give her a bath, do so inside in a toasty bathroom or on a hot day in the sun. Wet her coat with warm water -- not hot, not cold -- then rub a veterinarian-approved, gentle soap into her coat. Rinse all residue off completely. It's important to keep her nice and warm during the process. Towel dry thoroughly. Wipe and Go Because slobber, food and all sorts of goop can find its way to your boxer's face like a magnet, her short muzzle and flappy flews will benefit from a daily face wash with a warm washcloth dampened with water. Gently wipe between the folds on her muzzle and under the dewlaps -- those hangy-down parts under her chin. If you don't, expect a smelly kiss, courtesy of all that dried saliva. While you're at it, wipe her soft, pink ear leather to inspect for ear mites and keep the area clean. Health Considerations Talk to your vet about how often you should give your boxer puppy a bath. If your dog suffers from skin issues that cause odors, such as allergies, the vet will want to treat her for those underlying conditions. After all, a bottle of doggie shampoo can only go so far in covering up a case of stink dog. More Articles. How often should you bathe a boxer puppy? Birth of the puppy - First cleaning After giving birth, the boxer mother licks her cubs thoroughly and places them neatly in her basket or bed. From that moment onward, when they urinate or defecate most likely the mother will groom them and lick their deposits - in the wild they do this to avoid being tracked by their smell and thereby confuse predators. Ideally, the pups remain for at least three months with their mother and it is her who teaches them about behavior and cleanliness; boxer dogs, despite their drool, are a particularly clean breed. First month of life Unfortunately, most puppies are separated prematurely from their parents, sometimes even as soon as 15 days old. This means that they do not learn as fast as they should, and they do not have the warmth of their parents, which hinders their whole learning process. For this reason, if your boxer puppy is under a month old you must avoid bathing it at all costs. As boxer puppies are so small, they will have difficulty regulating their temperature. If your boxer puppy has urinated or has dirtied themselves in any other way, you should use baby wipes. These are only slightly damp, and they will remind them of their mother's tongue. You can also use a very soft natural hair brush and brush them every two or three days. Two to three months old At this stage, the puppy begins to receive its vaccines. It is very important to note that you should not bathe your dog if it has been less than a week since they were vaccinated, or before doing so. Also this is when they learn a routine of urinating and defecating, and in order to avoid them getting dirty we recommend keeping track of the times they relieve themselves, which are usually after sleeping and eating. If you still think that wipes and brushes are not enough because your boxer puppy is fouling that much something which not should happen , you can start to think about giving them their first bath, but always keep to the timelines mentioned above before and after any vaccinations. As always, make sure you're properly following the recommended vaccination schedule for dogs. How to bathe a boxer puppy Before you do anything, check with your vet which is the best shampoo for your boxer puppy; their skin is too sensitive to use one for adult dogs. Follow these steps: Get a small plastic container. Find a warm and draft-free place in the house. Fill the container with warm water. Wash the pup and apply shampoo. Rinse off and take them out of the water. Dry thoroughly with a towel or even use a hairdryer at a low setting if it is still damp; a puppy cannot stay wet. Although the experience of bathing a boxer puppy is sweet and fun, you should not do it on a regular basis as puppies have natural fat in their skin that gives them some protection. For this reason, if you bathe them constantly you will eliminate the layer of protection, exposing it to the environment, diseases, allergies and sensitivity. Avoid washing your boxer puppy unless it is strictly necessary and leave a minimum of days between baths. Excerpts from PetCareRx Boxers have very little odor and stay clean for long periods of time. Still, grooming is an important part of a good health regiment. With a short, tight coat that doesn't mat or tangle, the Boxer dog is practically "wash and wear. But it's not necessarily this way for all Boxers. There may be skin-related issues that require you to bathe your Boxer more frequently; for example, if the dog suffers from food or flea allergies, or if your dog likes to roll around in dirt. If your dog is an indoor dog or couch potato, however, the grooming procedures are quite minimal. Boxers are naturally clean animals who groom themselves with their cat-like licking skills. Step 1 Brush the Boxer with a rubber curry brush weekly to remove dead hair. Use in a circular motion and brush gently into the coat. The rubber nibs of the brush massage and stimulate the dog's skin and hair. Step 2 Wipe away any surface dirt with a soft cloth, or use commercially available pet wipes to remove more stubborn spots or dirt. Step 3 Bathe your Boxer as needed with a shampoo made especially for dogs. Don't use human shampoo and especially don't use liquid detergent, both of which dry the dog's skin and can strip the oils from their coat. Choose a warm summer day or simply slide your dog into the tub in a heated bathroom. Wet the coat thoroughly, and then apply shampoo, lather and rinse. Use fresh, clean, warm water, and then towel dry. Step 4 Gently wipe the leather side of the ear flap with a soft cloth to remove dirt. You can wrap a cloth around your finger to clean just inside the ear opening, but don't insert a cotton swab into the ear canal; you could perforate the ear drum. Step 5 Routinely check your Boxer for minor skin irritations while you are grooming them. Boxers are semi-prone to hot spots, also known as lick sores or acute moisture dermatitis. It is caused when the dog constantly licks a small irritation such as a mosquito or flea bite. The constant licking and biting at the irritation causes the skin to become moist and irritated. If you notice a small bite, pimple or scratch, keep an eye on it and tell your dog to stop if you notice they are biting or licking at the area. Consult a veterinarian if the area worsens. The low maintenance coat requires little care so the main goals are to keep them from smelling and to reduce shed. The short coat does shed regularly so weekly brushing is very important; the best grooming brush for Boxers is a bristle brush or rubber mitt. Baths are only truly needed every few months, especially if your pet is indoors; outdoor Boxers that tend to get smelly can be bathed as frequently as every 3 weeks. Keep in mind, your pet may have sensitive skin so make sure to use a gentle dog shampoo. Brushing Weekly brushing is recommended for this breed although you can do it more often if you'd like-- or less, if you want to clean up more shed hair. This routine also allows you to monitor your dogs skin for bumps, lumps, wounds, rashes, etc. The best brush for Boxers is a bristle brush or grooming mitt due to many having sensitive skin. Getting Out Tangles Boxers' short, flat coats don't get tangles per se, but that doesn't mean that a nice conditioning wash and regular brushing are not required. The larger concern is on reducing the shed hair cleanup for this breed so, in addition to weekly brushing, some owners may choose to try a Furminator on their Boxer. This step is probably not necessary and it's much better for their skin and coats to try to commit to regular brushing. This is actually pretty important since this breed is known to have sensitive skin. The main rule is not to bathe them too frequently-- once per month is ok, perhaps once every 3 weeks if they smell. Most Boxers need baths every few months. Use a dog shampoo that is gentle and moisturizing. Some Boxers will need hypoallergenic or all natural shampoo if you notice scratching and skin irritation. A few helpful tips are as follows: Brush your dog before bathing Fill the tub or bucket up with warm water before introducing them to bath time Have a wet washcloth on hand to wipe off the face and eyes Q-tips work wonders for reaching into the wrinkles and cleaning the ears careful, don't go too deep Paw Care Your Boxer's nails will likely need trimming once per month. Generally, you can tell if your dog's nails are too long and if you hear them clicking on the floor or pavement then it's definitely time for a trim. Some owners choose a guillotine style cutter while others opt for a rotating file-- there are some that also prefer to file with a hefty emery board type file. Many owners are fearful of cutting into the quick which can cause bleeding and pain for the pet, however, you can avoid this by going slowly and taking off a little at a time. A helpful tip: try giving you Boxer a treat after each paw or even each nail that you finish. Other Care Teeth- Most experts recommend daily brushing of your Boxer dogs teeth. Teeth problems such as excessive plaque is linked to more than just gum disease- many serious health issues including heart disease can be linked to the mouth. Brush daily or at least weekly with a finger brush or canine toothbrush with a drop of canine toothpaste to prevent your Boxer having bad breath. Ears-You may check the ears every couple weeks but, in general, your Boxer will need monthly ear cleaning. Ear cleaning solution can be purchased from your vet or local pet store. A rag or cotton ball dipped in the solution works well but you can also use QTips to clean the outer area. Eyes- Boxers have large eyes that need to be wiped with a damp washcloth as needed to prevent tear stains or gooey buildup. Wrinkles- This is a site of bacterial and yeast buildup if not kept clean. Every month you can take a QTip with baby oil or unscented oil and run it in between the wrinkles to remove dirt. The best flea treatment for Boxers and prevention too : see a veterinarian. Owner Surrender Grooming Boxers have a short, tight fitting coat, so they do not require much grooming. Your boxer will need a full bath every few months with a mild dog shampoo. Bathing more frequently can cause dry skin and itching. Your boxer may get dirty in between baths, but usually a good wipe down with a wet washcloth will get him or her back into shape. You will also need to clean your boxers ears. This keeps their ears looking and smelling nice, and it helps to avoid ear infections. You can purchase ear cleaning solution from your vet, and also at most pet supply stores. However a cotton ball soaked in room temperature green tea works just as well! Clipping your boxers nails is another grooming task that you should be prepared for. If you are clipping your boxers nails yourself, be careful not to trim them too short, as you could cut the quick. The quick runs through the center of the nail, and if cut it will bleed. If you clip your dogs nails on a regular basis, the quick will not grow as far to the front of the nail, making them easier to cut! An alternative to clipping your boxers nails is to file them using a metal nail file with a rounded tip. You can also buy a tool called a dremmel to file your boxers nails. Most dogs like having their nails filed, and there is less chance of cutting the quick. This will keep them distracted so you can take care of what you need to. Brushing your boxers teeth is something that should be done every day. Periodontal disease can lead to serious illnesses in your boxer. Good dental hygiene has been shown to increase the lifespan of your dog by up to 2 years! You can purchase dog toothpaste mmm, chicken flavored! If your dog is not used to having their teeth brushed, start by using a fingertip brush. This is a rubber brush that fits over your finger, and it is easier for your dog to get used to than a regular brush. Also, speak with your vet about having professional cleanings done as your dog starts to get older. Eyes Teeth Grooming a Boxer is not difficult and can be a great way for you to bond with your dog. Many dogs find this time relaxing and show signs that they love being pampered. Grooming a Boxer is not difficult and can be a great way for you to bond with your dog. Baths A Boxer has shiny, short hair and therefore does not need a bath as often as other breeds may. It is recommended to give your Boxer a bath every 2 to 3 weeks sooner if under certain circumstances, i. If you will be showing your Boxer in the ring, you will want to give him or her baths once per week. Before the event, a bath should be given the night before. Giving too many baths will dry out the skin of this breed and can lead to itching, sometime intense. It is recommended to give your Boxer a bath every 3 weeks but more often under certain circumstances, i. One may think that no harm would come from using human products; however this is not true. Canines are often allergic to human products and human shampoo has a completely different pH balance than what this breed requires for healthy skin and coat. Therefore, it is suggested to always use a effective canine shampoo, followed by a quality canine conditioner. Bath time should be a fun time; though serious attention must be given in order to do a thorough job. Choose a time when you won't feel rushed. Dogs pick up on their owner's vibes.If you're feeling frustrated or are in a hurry, your Boxer may resist baths or feel stressed when being cleaned. Plan ahead of time so that the bath is already filled; rushing water can scare a puppy. The water should be warm. Use your wrist to check the temperature. If it feels hot to you, it will be too hot for your dog. Since an adult is rather large, you may opt to bathe your dog outside and this is fine as long as it's 'weather permitting'. Do keep in mind that this should be done only if your dog has learned to love baths, doesn't mind being sprayed and you can do this in an enclosed area so that your dog will not run off. If choosing to clean your Boxer outside, it's best not to use a garden hose unless it is very hot outside or the water will just be too cold and may give a Boxer a case of the shivers. You can use a large bucket of warm water to clean your dog and then use buckets of fresh, warm water to rinse. Choose the shampoo for your Boxer wisely; you'll want a brand that cleans away accumulated body oils without stripping the fur of its outer layer the cuticle while moisturizing the skin to avoid drying issues without clogging skin pores. While all areas of the body should be soaped up and cleaned, an owner must pay special attention to darker areas of the dog. These areas, such as the ears and face can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Yeast infections can occur if not kept clean. Ears and any wrinkles on the face should be wiped with soft Q-Tips. These facial folds should be wiped several times with new ones until the Q-Tip no longer wipes up any moisture. Eyes should be wiped with a soft wash cloth. If you notice that discharge is causing a discoloration under or around your Boxer's eyes, it is recommended to use dog eye wipes. Excessive eye discharge is considered a health issue and should be checked out by your dog's veterinarian. Nails All dogs must have their nails trimmed. A dog has a vein that runs down the center of each nail. This is called the "Quick". If this is cut, it can cause rather severe bleeding and pain. Many owners find it much easier to use a grinder an electronic device that simply files the nail down. If you are nervous to cut the nails, certainly save this grooming step for a professional groomer. Some dogs are so scared of having their nails cut, that a professional groomer must give them a mild sedative. This is common and safe when done by a licensed professional. The nails on a Boxer need to be trimmed or filed about every 5- 6 weeks. Most professional groomers will not charge a lot for this, especially if you will be bringing them your business every 6 weeks or so. Ears and Eyes Ear care is important since excess wax can lead to all sorts of issues including ear infection. If a Boxer already has an issue with chronic infections, cleanings may need to be done as often as once per week. Eye care is also important for this breed, due to large eyes that tend to excrete discharge. Daily wiping and keeping a watch on any potential problems will help keep your Boxer's eyes healthy and the eye area clean. Teeth Sadly, many owners do not understand the vital importance of dental cleaning for their dogs. It is extremely important to brush your Boxer's teeth at least once per day. While a dog does not develop cavities in the same way that humans do, they quickly build up plague. This causes very serious health problems if cleaning is not done. Beginning when a Boxer is a puppy, dental cleaning should be part of a daily routine. Many dogs that do not receive care, such as those that find their way into rescues and dog shelters need to have teeth extracted and run through courses of antibiotics in an attempt to counteract infections. This causes severe pain for the dog and of course, interferes with eating. Human toothpaste should never be used. To allow your Boxer to become used to having his or her teeth cleaned you can start off by simply putting a small drop of canine toothpaste on your finger and running it across your Boxer's teeth. Be sure to touch the back teeth as well. Move on to using a finger brush. These are made for dog dental cleanings and can be less threatening to a dog than a brush. If your Boxer does well with the finger brush, certainly attempt to move on to the best product: a canine toothbrush. If your dog strongly resists, stay with the finger brush. While daily brushing will remove plague, only a professional cleaning will remove tarter. It is very important to have your Boxer's teeth cleaned by a professional at least once per year. Most dogs will be sedated during this process, as it is a very intense cleaning. Your dog should receive the whole sha-bang! X-rays, deep cleaning and polishing. See Also: Shedding - The Boxer is a moderate shedder. There are ways to help cut down on the amount of dead hairs that you'll see and also tips to keep the coat healthy. Skin Problems - One of the more common issues seen is moderate to severe dry skin which can cause quite a bit of itching. This article also covers other skin conditions that may develop. Summer Care for Boxer Dogs - Summertime brings about some challenges in regard to caring for a Boxer puppy or dog. Tips and advice to have a great summer season. While they are instinctive guardians, the Boxer loves to be with his people. This personality has allowed them to succeed as couriers during war time and as seeing-eye dogs for the blind. Developed in Germany in the 19th century, Boxers were originally used for dog fighting and to run down and hold large game such as wild boar and bison until the hunter could arrive. The breed is known for standing up on its hind legs and batting at its opponent, appearing to box with its front paws. Imported to America after World War I, they began to grow in popularity in the late s. They are patient and spirited with children, but also protective, making them a popular choice for families. The Boxer requires little grooming but needs daily exercise. Grooming Boxers are a short flat coated breed that sheds throughout the year, even in the winter time. Grooming is suggested for 4 — 8-week intervals to clean ears, clip nails, check anal glands and insure the coat and skin are in healthy condition. The flaps and folds are very moist and prone to growing red yeast and cause a foul odor in this area. Moisture makes the area red and raw. Keeping these areas dry and clean is a necessity. The first bath should be a general bath, any of our Classic Care or Professional Care products are perfect. If your Boxer has allergies or sensitive skin we would suggest a Hypo-Allergenic Shampoo and follow it with a Oatmeal Baking Soda Shampoo to control the odor. Follow the bath with a conditioner or Luxury Remoisturizer to keep the coat in great shape. Paws Paw Balm should be used weekly to keep paw pads soft and pliable. This makes the pads less likely to dry and crack. Aloe Hydrating Spray can be used to control flaking and dandruff, especially in dry conditions. Extreme Odor Eliminator can be used as often as needed to control odor and has aloe in it to help keep the coat hydrated. High Sheen Finishing Spray right before entering the show ring will add the little extra shine without any oily residue. May we suggest.Home Lifestyle Boxer dogs are the cheapest to maintain. In essence, boxers have short and tight-fitting coats. As such, they do not require a lot of grooming. Treating your boxer to frequent baths may strip its essential oils, causing issues with their coat. Remember, over washing is a common challenge all pet parents face. Some owners have also established that washing a boxer dog more often could make it smell worse and lead to excessive shedding. It is advisable not to wash your Boxer dog unless he needs it. Remember, the best way to attain zero doggy odors and a healthy coat is to adopt the inside-out approach. Maybe, this is the right moment to start ditching processed foods for your furry buddy in favor of natural diets like raw meaty bone-based meals. This is a great way to reduce odors without exposing your doggy to the potential skin irritations that come with too frequent bathing. How often should you bathe your boxer dog Frequency of Baths Well, bathing your Boxer dog once every few months is okay. This will work exceptionally well for your furry buddy. In essence, treating the furry friend to four baths in a year is much less often than most pet owners may have thought necessary. Remember that scheduling the bath once every holiday season is the perfect way to keep it in your mind. It can be irritating for your dog to have dirty ears and you might also notice an odor coming from them. The ear-cleaning process may also help you avoid the stress that comes with ear infections in dogs. Its worth spending a few bucks to procure an ear cleaning solution from your vet or the pet supply stores in your neighborhood. This is a crucial grooming task you must be prepared for and do much more frequently than baths. However, you must be extra careful not to trim the nails too short as you may end up cutting them if you are trimming it yourself. The best alternative would be to file the nails with a rounded tip using the right tools. Or, your local veterinarian may only charge a small fee.

Wow, what an experience, Jilana kept us informed from start to "gotcha" day. The information within the puppy zone was extremely helpful about collecting our little Nala to feeding guides and socialising. Nala has settled in at our house wonderfully, which is a credit to Jilana and her family, as Nala is so chilled, many of our friends have commented how well behaved she is and only 9 weeks old. Even our vet commented on how well bred she is when she went for her first inoculations. We would certainly recommend Jilana if you are looking to have an addition to your family which will give a bundle of fun and fantastic company. She is a very knowledgeable breeder of Australian Labradoodles with a passion for finding the right dog for you. She also is dedicated to ensuring that you have the right information to enable you to care for your new pup. We now have two of her dogs. We are still in contact with Jilana and she loves to get updates on her pups. I was nervous and had no idea at all how to look after this cute bundle of silky fur. Thank Goodness for Jilana who guided and encouraged me every step of the way. Training feeding and grooming all became clearer to me and as I grew in confidence the more I enjoyed Sheila. Nearly 3 years on and I am completely in love. A big thank you to Jilana for breeding beautiful puppies and giving such amazing aftercare I always felt I could ask her anything no matter how big or small.

Also called Miniature Labrapoos, Labradoodles, and Labradorpoos, the Miniature Labradoodle is a well-known hybrid breed in a smaller package. They are sweet-natured and smart, and they love to spend time with their people. They are affectionate with their family. They are also tolerant and compassionate, and they tend to be well-behaved around people of all ages and other pets. Labradoodles are generally healthy and should live to be 10 to 14 years old. These qualities make Miniature Labradoodles an ideal family dog that does well with other pets and children. Even the most inexperienced dog parents find this breed to be easy to train and eager to please. They are too gentle and sweet to make a good guard dog, but they can be useful watchdogs. They are small and fluffy, square and athletic. Long, furry ears are set on the top and back of their heads. Their muzzles can be medium to long. The Miniature Labradoodle coat varies a great deal, ranging from straight to loose curls, and usually kept about 4 to 6 inches in length. The coat may be one of three textures. They could have hair similar to fur in shedding dogs, they could have a more dense and non-shedding wool, or they could have more of a silky fleece. They come in a variety of colors: Gold. But, unfortunately, there are so many organisations only in it for the money, charging exorbitant prices and neglecting the health and wellbeing of their puppies and dogs. One of the most obvious signs of an unethical breeder is the poor or neglectful treatment of their puppies and breeding dogs. An ethical labradoodle breeder in Australia will; Strive to find the right home for their puppies. Instead, they go above and beyond to make sure they find the perfect home for each puppy. Usually, the search involves asking potential buyers a range of questions about their home and lifestyle, so they can pair families with a puppy that has a temperament right for them. Provide the highest quality care and living conditions. Ethical breeders ensure that both the puppies and breeding dogs have premium quality care, including comprehensive health checks, socialisation, and training. Rehome adult dogs. Once the female is retired, she is de-sexed and either adopted by our internal staff or a loving family. Never separate the puppies early. Puppies Downunder waits until the puppy is ten weeks old before we allow them to join their new family. Meet and exceed all the necessary requirements. We comply with all codes and requirements set by the Domestic Animal Act, actively assist with inspections of our facilities, and have received approval from the Chief Veterinary Officer of Victoria to operate as a Commercial Breeder and the Minister for Agriculture. The breeder should be asking plenty of questions. A puppy is a long-term commitment, so ethical breeders ask plenty of questions to make sure the buyer is the right fit for the puppy. Here are a few examples of questions you can expect to hear; How much space do you have? Will you be home often? How often will you exercise the dog? Do you have kids? Do you have other animals? Where will the puppy sleep? They should encourage you to visit the breeding facility. When looking for Australian labradoodle puppies for sale, you need to make sure the breeder will allow you to inspect the facility and meet the parents. You can also ensure the dogs and puppies are raised in clean, high-quality conditions by visiting the facility. The Puppies Downunder team understands that not everyone can come and visit our facility, so we have plenty of photos of both the breeding facility, puppies, and dogs online. The breeder should try and find out the address the puppy will be living, the details of the new veterinarian, and any other relevant information needed to ensure the puppy is being well looked after. Your breeder should have organised the first two vaccinations, microchipping and worming and parasite prevention, before going home with their new family. At Puppies Downunder, we go above and beyond, providing a complete medical history. We also provide you with information about their individual dietary requirements, socialisation, registration, medications, and required vaccinations. An excellent ethical breeder should be vetting potential buyers to find the right family for that specific puppy. Is the puppy cheeky? How much exercise does the dog need? Unfortunately, a lot of unethical breeders will understate or flat out lie when telling buyers how much exercise their new puppy will need. For example, people looking for a labradoodle for sale in Australia might be told they have a moderate activity level, which is accurate. However, they may be given the same advice for bordoodle, which is wildly inaccurate for this high-energy, restless dog. Can you provide references? The breeder should be able to provide you with references from a veterinarian and previous customers. We offer lifelong support. At Puppies Downunder, we continue to provide support for our customers throughout the lifetime of their puppy. Do they offer a guarantee? At Puppies Downunder, we provide a health guarantee for the first 21 days of sale. Do they provide the essentials to give the puppy the best start to life? Dogs are our passion, and we dedicate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to their care. In fact, we have the highest ethical standards of any dog breeder globally. We absolutely adore mini labradoodles, and we take advantage of any opportunity to share our love of them with others. What Is A Mini Labradoodle? Their beautiful, calm temperament and high intelligence make mini labradoodles ideal candidates for therapy pets and service dogs for individuals with autism, PTSD, diabetes, and other disabilities. How big do they grow? A mini labradoodle will typically grow to cm in height and around kg in weight, so they stay relatively small. From elderly couples to families with small children, the mini labradoodle will fit right in. Do mini labradoodles shed? That all depends on their coat. If a mini labradoodle has a wool coat, the tight curls will catch any dander, fur, and dirt, thereby minimising shedding and reducing allergies. However, wool coats are high-maintenance and require brushing every day. It all depends on the type of coat your mini labradoodle has. Fleece and hair coats are very low maintenance, but wool coats are pretty high-maintenance. They have a pretty moderate level of activity, and they enjoy minutes of exercise per day as well as playtime and mental enrichment. Are there any health concerns we should keep an eye out for? Mini labradoodles are a crossbreed, so they have very diverse genetics making them less likely to develop genetic diseases. They may also develop hip or elbow dysplasia if over-exercised or overfed. Labradoodles have adorable long ears, but this means they are prone to dirty ears and ear infections, do their ears need to be checked regularly. From birth to 8 weeks, puppies benefit from valuable socialisation time with their siblings and mother. However, not crate training your puppy may be doing more harm than good. We suggest introducing your puppy to their crate throughout their first day, enticing them with treats and making sure they associate the space with positivity. Open the crate door throughout the day, so your puppy can retreat to their safe space whenever they feel the need. Make sure your puppy has a separate area to go to the bathroom at night. Puppies Downunder are an ethical mini labradoodle breeder, and we take great pride in our high-quality breeding facilities and our commitment to providing a safe, comfortable home for our dogs. They have incredibly high intelligence and need to be kept mentally stimulated; otherwise, they can become bored, stubborn, and destructive. Dogs with high intelligence love a challenge, and they love working for their food. You can either purchase puzzle or interactive feeders such as snuffle mats or Kong toys, or you can create your own DIY slow feeder bowl. We suggest having a few different puzzles in varying difficulty levels, so your puppy is always mentally stimulated at dinner time. The labrador retriever in your labradoodle will have an instinct to retrieve, and the poodle side will have an instinct to hunt, so try to incorporate these traits into games. Silicone licking mats are a fantastic way to keep your dog entertained. Smear some peanut butter, wet food, or baby food on the mat and pop it into the freezer. Once frozen, get it out and give it to your puppy to lick for a refreshing summer treat. You can buy or make plenty of toys that encourage your puppy to solve a problem before receiving treats as a reward. For example, grab a muffin tray, some treats, and some tennis balls. Put treats in a couple of the openings and block them all with tennis balls. Your dog will need to snuffle and work out which balls have treats underneath. Cut a slot in the bottle and fill it with food or treats, and let your dog bat it around to get the treats out. Dogs who are allowed to sniff and explore on their walk are far more stimulated than dogs that just walk. Dogs are our passion, and we dedicate 24 hours a day, seven days a week to their care.

A responsible breeder practices the following: Breeds only one or two litters a year: A responsible breeder should have only one or two litters a year to allow him to have time to give each puppy the right amount of attention and care. The only exception would be if the breeder has a sizable staff that can provide individualized attention for a larger number of annual litters.

Breeders disagree over whether or not these dogs should be crossed with other Labradoodles since these multi-generational breeding sometimes produce health and temperament issues.

Site by Weborchard. Life Span Did You Know? Second-generation crosses could include a Labradoodle and a Mini Poodle or two Mini Labradoodles as parents. This hybrid dog breed was originally developed to create smaller potential service dogs that might be a good fit for people with allergies to dog fur. With a mixed breed, you can end up with any combination of traits from the parent breeds. Often, Mini Labradoodles are smart, friendly, and sociable dogs that are highly trainable. They are often found working as service dogs and therapy dogs and living as beloved family companions. Although they are not recognized by the AKC, the Mini Labradoodle is recognized by other canine registries. A Mini Labradoodle is a combination of two friendly dog breeds that crave human affection and are always happy to have company. These dogs also tend to have playful, energetic personalities and low prey drives. Well-socialized Mini Labradoodles tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. Due to their smaller size, these dogs can be injured by accidental rough play or accidental falls, so any interactions between young kids and puppies should be closely supervised. Miniature Labradoodles will usually bark to alert you when someone is at the door, but generally are not prone to nuisance barking unless they have been trained into it. It may not be a bad idea to train your dog to stop barking early on. Well-socialized Mini Labradoodles may be initially wary of strangers, but tend to warm up quickly and will often be happy to make a new friend. Miniature Labradoodles are highly adaptable. Provided they get enough exercise, attention, and mental stimulation, they can adapt well to apartments as well as larger homes. They tend to do best in moderate climates, but can tolerate warmer or colder climates. As with any dog, they are sensitive to heat. Although they tend to have a fluffier coat, they are also smaller and may need to bundle up in some winter dog products to stay warm while out on walks in the cold. Mini Labradoodles are also very much companion breeds. They bond closely with their families and thrive on being near them, so they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. The health of the parents and good breeding practices make a big difference in the health of Mini Labradoodle puppies. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. Make sure you are asking the breeder about the health and genetic history of both parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done to help allay any concerns you may have. Miniature Labradoodles tend to be highly intelligent and eager to please. This generally makes them easy to train and a good fit for owners of all experience levels. In fact, their parent breeds are considered some of the best dog breeds for first-time owners. These dogs respond best to consistent training and positive reinforcement. Puppy training classes can ensure that owners of any experience level learn the latest training techniques and start building a strong bond with their puppy. Grooming requirements with a Mini Labradoodle can vary. On the Poodle side, you have a low-shedding, but high-maintenance, coat that needs daily brushing along with trimming and grooming every weeks. On the Lab side, you have a higher shedding coat that is more low-maintenance, requiring some weekly brushing or brushing a few times a week and intermittent bathing. Overall, Mini Labradoodles range from having a non- to low-shedding coat. They can have one coat type or the other, or a combination of both of them. So, you will want to be prepared for brushing a coat a few times a week and the possibility of more grooming needs. Regardless of coat type, there are some other general grooming tasks you can count on. Regular dental care for your dog will help prevent serious dental issues like gum disease and tooth decay later in life. This is especially important for dog breeds with floppy ears as they are more prone to developing ear infections. Miniature Labradoodles can be high-energy dogs. In general, they require daily walks plus some playtime and extra activity to be happy and healthy. Since they love to be around their family and can have an exuberant and outgoing personality, they will likely be up for more playtime if you are. This little dog may get tired more easily at times and could push themselves too far in their excitement. On the other hand, they may just keep going and going with no signs of slowing down. What is most important is making sure your Miniature Labradoodle gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. Fully-grown Mini Labradoodles usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds. Miniature Labradoodles generally live for years on average. Featured Mini Labradoodle Article.

Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Click here for more information on this characteristic Schnoodle Overview The Schnoodle is cheerful and intelligent. He makes a terrific jogging companion and his love of activity can get you off the couch. Despite that, he will also happily cuddle on the couch with you. A Schnoodle will fill your life and lap with both love and laughter. This breed is loyal like the Schnauzer and fun-loving like the Poodle. Like his Schnauzer parent, a Schnoodle has a protective nature and makes a good watch dog. Schnauzers are solid terriers and tend toward being a bit stubborn and independent. At the same time, they are known for being extremely loyal. Contrastingly, the Poodle is smart, agile, and active with a high-maintenance coat. Accordingly, the Schnoodle should have plenty of exercise every day, at least 30 to 60 minutes. Both Schnauzers and Poodles are smart, so this hybrid requires daily mental stimulation as well. This pup also has an unusual propensity to use his front paws as hands to hold toys and blankets. Unfortunately, some really enjoy digging. Some really enjoy barking , too. There are three different variations of both Schnauzers and Poodles, making for a wide range of sizes in the Schnoodle. The larger ones are still relatively uncommon. There is no breed standard for Schnoodles — nor any breed clubs — so, as of yet, their different sizes are currently defined as Toy, Miniature, Standard. Notably, size may make a difference in the personality of this hybrid. A large Schnoodle should have a softer temperament than a Giant Schnauzer. In the latter case, someone could simply slap a litter together because she has a purebred Schnauzer and lives down the street from a purebred Poodle. When the parents are carefully selected, the Schnoodle is a great dog. Hybrid vigor can work wonders, but poor parent selection can result in the worst traits of both breeds with none of the good ones. If you want the temperament that the hybrid is meant to provide, get a puppy from a responsible breeder who has taken care in selecting the parents. You can also adopt from a reputable rescue or shelter , since these pups are now appearing in those places. A small Schnoodle can do well in an apartment , but the larger Schnoodle does better in homes with fenced yards. Schnoodle Highlights Schnoodles are a cross between a Poodle and a Schnauzer, and they are known for being intelligent, friendly, and hypoallergenic. They come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy. Here are some of the highlights of the Schnoodle breed: Intelligence: Schnoodles are highly intelligent dogs that are easy to train. They can learn basic commands quickly and can be trained to do more complex tasks, such as agility or obedience. Friendliness: Schnoodles are known for being friendly and outgoing dogs. They love to be around people and other animals, and they make great family pets. Hypoallergenic: Schnoodles are considered to be hypoallergenic, which means that they do not shed as much as other dog breeds. This makes them a good choice for people with allergies. Active: Schnoodles are active dogs that need plenty of exercise. They enjoy playing fetch, going for walks, and running around. Loyal: Schnoodles are loyal dogs that form strong bonds with their owners. They love to cuddle and be petted, and they will always be there to greet you at the door. If you are looking for a smart, friendly, and hypoallergenic dog, the Schnoodle may be the perfect breed for you. Here are some additional things to consider before getting a Schnoodle: Grooming: Schnoodles need to be groomed regularly to keep their coats looking their best. This includes brushing, trimming, and bathing. Training: Schnoodles are intelligent dogs, but they can also be stubborn. They need to be trained consistently and firmly. Exercise: Schnoodles need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. They should be walked for at least 30 minutes a day. Schnoodle History The Schnoodle was developed in the s, when the interest began to grow in Poodle crosses. The original goal with the Schnoodle was to create a low-shedding, low-dander family dog. The Schnoodle is generally the result of breeding between a Schnauzer and a Poodle, although some breeders have started breeding multigenerational Schnoodles Schnoodles bred to other Schnoodles. Right now there are no breed clubs or standards, but efforts have begun to create both. Schnoodles can come in a variety of sizes, since there are three Poodle sizes and three Schnauzer sizes. The range of possibilities has created an interesting variety of hybrids. Despite that, Schnoodles have traditionally been small dogs. The introduction of the Giant Schnauzer and Standard Poodle into the mix is the most recent variation, producing a dog of a different temperament from the small, cuddly Schnoodle. Schnoodle Size The size of the Schnoodle depends on the size of the parents: a Standard Poodle bred to a Giant Schnauzer will produce offspring who will be the size of their large parents. If a Standard Poodle and Standard Schnauzer are crossed, than the result could be sizes ranging between both the Miniature Schnoodle and the Standard Schnoodle. This uncertainty is part of the joy of a mixed breed: the ultimate details can be a welcome surprise. Like any mixed breed, the variation involved can eliminate guarantees of size. Mixing and matching can add up to some interesting ranges and the variety is enticing. However, most Schnoodles tend to be 20 pounds or less. Toy Schnoodles range from 10 to 12 inches in height and weigh 6 to 10 pounds. Miniature Schnoodles range from 12 to 15 inches in height and weigh 13 to 20 pounds. Standard Schnoodles range from 15 to 26 inches in height and weigh 20 to 75 pounds. Giant Schnoodles range from 20 to 28 inches in height and weigh 50 to pounds. Schnoodle Personality The well-bred Schnoodle is a wonderfully happy, loyal, and intelligent companion. He enjoys having fun and aims for a life filled with love and play. A Schnoodle can have a strong temperament but generally is loving and loyal to his people. Socialization helps ensure that your Schnoodle puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog. Enrolling him in a puppy kindergarten class is a great start. Inviting visitors over regularly — as well as taking him to busy parks, stores that allow dogs, and on leisurely strolls to meet neighbors — will also help him polish his social skills. However, there is a general misconception that hybrid vigor automatically applies to mixed breeds. Health clearances prove that a dog has been tested for and cleared of a particular condition. You can confirm health clearances by checking the OFA website. Progressive Retinal Atrophy PRA : This is a family of eye diseases that involves the gradual deterioration of the retina. Early in the disease, affected dogs become night-blind; they lose sight during the day as the disease progresses. Many affected dogs adapt well to their limited or lost vision, as long as their surroundings remain the same. Cataracts : These cause opacity on the lens of the eye, resulting in poor vision. Cataracts usually occur in old age and sometimes can be surgically removed to improve vision. Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease : This involves the hip joint. If your Schnoodle has Legg-Perthes, the blood supply to the head of the femur the large rear leg bone is decreased, and the head of the femur that connects to the pelvis begins to disintegrate. The first symptoms, limping and atrophy of the leg muscle, usually occur when puppies are four to six months old. Surgery can correct the condition, usually resulting in a pain-free puppy. Patellar Luxation: Also known as slipped stifles, this is a common problem in small dogs. The patella is the kneecap. Luxation means dislocation of an anatomical part as a bone at a joint. Patellar luxation is when the knee joint often of a hind leg slides in and out of place, causing pain. This can be crippling, although many dogs lead relatively normal lives with this condition. It can cause mild or severe seizures that may show themselves as unusual behavior such as running frantically as if being chased, staggering, or hiding or even by falling down, limbs rigid, and losing consciousness. Seizures are frightening to watch, but the long-term prognosis for dogs with idiopathic epilepsy is generally very good. Diabetes Mellitus : This is a disorder in which the body cannot regulate blood sugar levels, due to improper levels of insulin. Symptoms of diabetes are excessive urination and thirst, increased appetite, and weight loss. Diabetes can be controlled by diet and the administration of insulin. More severe signs occur when a dog is stressed or when potassium levels become high enough to interfere with heart function, causing severe shock and death. But if your Schnoodle is on the large side, and had a Giant Schnauzer for a parent, this condition is worth knowing about. Bloat is more common among older dogs. GDV occurs when the stomach is distended with gas or air and then twists torsion. The dog is unable to belch or vomit to rid himself of the excess air in the stomach, and the normal return of blood to the heart is impeded. Blood pressure drops and the dog goes into shock. Without immediate medical attention, the dog can die. Suspect bloat if your dog has a distended abdomen and is salivating excessively and retching without throwing up. He also may be restless, depressed, lethargic, and weak, with a rapid heart rate. Schnoodle Care Although the energy level of the Schnoodle is reflective of the parents, and is therefore variable, expect to exercise your dog for about 30 to 60 minutes per day. Some require less while others require a bit more. Schnoodles enjoy brisk walks and make great jogging companions. Schnoodles can adapt to a variety of residences, but take size into consideration. A Toy or Miniature Schnoodle will do well in an apartment or condo , but a larger Standard may not. Ideally, a home with a fenced yard is best for all Schnoodles. Schnoodles can suffer from separation anxiety when left alone for long periods of time. This can lead to barking and destructive behaviors. And once that habit starts, it can be difficult to stop. Keep your Schnoodle in good shape by measuring his food and feeding him twice or three times a day rather than free feeding , or leaving food out all the time. How much your adult dog eats depends on his size, age, build, metabolism, and activity level. It almost goes without saying that a highly active dog will need more than a couch potato dog. When possible, minimize the amount of highly processed food your pup is consuming. Talk to your vet about switching your Schnoodle to a vegetarian diet if they suffer from certain health issues such as food allergies , skin issues , or even coat dullness. First, look down at him. You should be able to see a waist. Then place your hands on his back, thumbs along the spine, with the fingers spread downward. You should be able to feel but not see his ribs without having to press hard. For more on feeding your Schnoodle, see our guidelines for buying the right food , feeding your puppy , and feeding your adult dog. Schnoodle Coat Color And Grooming The Schnoodle coat can be black, gray, silver, brown, white, apricot, sable, black and white, black and tan, and even parti-color. The wavy coat occurs in multigenerational breeding. While Schnoodles are low-shedding dogs, they must be clipped or trimmed. The amount of grooming needed for a Schnoodle really depends on the coat of the individual dog. If your dog has the soft, wavy type of coat, brush once or twice a week to prevent tangles and mats. The Schnoodle will also need to be bathed on an as-needed basis to keep the coat soft. The best time to brush is after a bath. Drying the coat with a hair dryer will help prevent any mats from forming. As the mix is still climbing in popularity, not many specifics are known about the original time and purpose when the Schnoodle first came on the scene. But, the cross was likely first developed in the s in the United States. Like most Poodle mixes, the goal was most likely to achieve the perfect dog for people who suffer from allergies to dog dander. As well as those who prefer not to have dog hair coating their clothing and home. But both parents are intelligent working dogs first and foremost. The Schnauzer Poodle mix is one of the Poodle mixes that people seek for its low-shedding coat and teddy bear qualities. When you cross a purebred Poodle with a purebred dog which does not have a curled coat, such as the Schnauzer, the offspring F1 generation may or may not have a curly coat. Appearance traits like this are unpredictable, and even puppies in the same litter can have very different coat types. These hybrids are usually solid-colored and sometimes have a mask, markings, or points in black or white. From the black Schnoodle to the white Schnoodle and every shade in between. Even more colors are possible when the parent stock have non-standard coat colors — parti-colored Schnoodles may be possible in these cases. Or it may have a wavy coat that falls somewhere in between. Keeping curls or waves in check, though, will help to prevent severe matting or tangling. Are They Hypoallergenic? No dog is truly hypoallergenic. All dogs shed, even if in very small amounts. You can learn more facts and myths regarding non-shedding dogs in our article about hypoallergenic dogs.

Exercise These dogs need a job to do or plenty of space to run and play in order to be happy and to stay out of trouble. Schnoodles may also play on the rough side. As neither Schnauzers nor Poodles appreciate being bored, a Schnoodle may be likely to develop bad habits if you do not give her adequate attention. Scheduled time for exercise each day will help to minimise the risk of bad behavior, such as barking and digging. Schnoodle health risks to be aware of include heart disease, epilepsy, vision problems, joint issues and liver disorders. Health testing potential puppy parents can significantly reduce the risks of the litter carrying any of these conditions.

For a giant Schnoodle, make sure to supervise smaller children to keep them from getting accidentally knocked over or involved in play that gets a little too rough. Likewise, for a mini Schnoodle, ensure that small children treat the little dog carefully. Remember that this breed is going to be very active and will want to be with his family. If no one is at home for a large part of each day, or if the dog will be kept in a small area without room to run and play, this is not the breed for you. They need families that have plenty of time to dedicate to them. Including to grooming, playtime, and training.
