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

New born puppies are very helpless. They are born blind and deaf and unable to regulate their body temperatures, so we have to use an external heat source when the puppies are not in direct contact with mom. During this time period, their mothers have to stimulate them in order for them to urinate and have bowel movements. This is a very busy time for us and we are usually very sleep deprived because we assist the mothers every 3 hours around the clock to make sure that all puppies are latching on well, growing, and being stimulated to urinate and defecate. It is a critical time in which the puppies are so small that an unaware Frenchie mother could accidentally smother one or more of her pups, so we monitor them very closely. Lacey takes a video of each litter at 3 weeks of age and posts them on our website under New Puppies so that our clients near the top of the list, as well as other clients and prospective clients, can get a early look at them. They continue to gain weight rapidly over the next several months of their lives. At two weeks age their ears open and they are able to hear, and another big part of their new world opens up. Prior to this event, about all they do is grunt or mew, but afterward their vocabulary includes yelps, whines, and even little barks. At three weeks of age the more advanced puppies start taking their first shaky steps; prior to this their basic mode of transportation is basic army crawling. They are now able to urinate and defecate on their own and will move away from their sleeping area to do so. Up to this point it is strictly the mothers and us Donna, Lacey, and Bick who have handled the pups with lots of hand sanitizing before and after and they have been kept in their kennel. Even though it is hard on the kids, we do not let them or their friends handle them until 4 weeks of age. At four weeks we start introducing them to solid food initially crushed and moistened. By the end of the 4th week they are eating their crushed puppy food, with no water added, three times a day. Because they are not nursing as long or as often, we provide fresh water for them at all times. The kids are allowed to hold them now closely monitored and with clean hands and we allow the puppies to run around and explore our large main room in the house. At 5 weeks of age they are starting to run around all over the place when they are let out to play, and, when they are in their kennels, they play sometimes rather roughly with litter mates. It is during this time when some of their adult personalities will start coming out. By the end of this week their puppy teeth are all in, and they love to chew on things, including fingers if you let them. However, even at this age, they will spend most of their time sleeping, probably close to 20 hours per day, with only short times between naps when they are alert and active. By the end of the 6th week they are completely weaned from their moms and eating solid food well. We frequently take them out of their kennels to scamper around. They are full of energy and love to play with their litter-mates and the kids. This is the time that we really focus on socializing them and we even start their paper training. By 7 weeks they have already passed through most of their puppy milestones and are continuing to grow rapidly; they are generally in the 4 to 6 pound range. This is when their personalities really start coming out! It is so fun to watch them play with the kids and their litter-mates and observe their new fascination with toys. They have become somewhat accustomed to going potty on pee pads so that when they are out running around the room they often recognize them on the floor and will go potty on them. Though they are fast, active, playful little puppies at this point in their lives, they still are like babies and require lots of sleep probably over 18 hours per day and are still quite fragile. This video will show the color and conformation of each puppy, in addition to its personality. Their their third DAPP and 2nd Bordetella vaccinations are given at 12 weeks and then a yearly booster thereafter. The rabies shot can also be given at 12 weeks no later than 16 weeks. They are also regularly de-wormed and given a medication for the prevention of coccidia and giardia. Occasionally we hold onto puppies a little longer if we do not feel they are quite ready to go to their new homes. Our clients are encouraged to come to our home to meet their fur babies if this is feasible. When this is not possible, we arrange for one of our responsible puppy chaperones to hand deliver our puppies to meet their new owners at their nearest major airport. In fact, even as adults they will sleep at least half of the day in a series of long naps, and probably closer to 14 hours per day. Have More Questions? They were bred to be lap dogs and companion animals and are fiercely loyal and attached to their people. Toy Bulldogs began to lose their popularity in England in when bull-baiting, the main occupation of the dog, was outlawed. Around the same time, lace workers from Nottingham were displaced by the Industrial Revolution and began to settle in Normandy in France. They brought the Toy Bulldogs with them, and from there they were bred with local small breeds. They soon became very fashionable and were sought after as companions by French society ladies and Parisian prostitutes alike. The pups appeared in paintings by Edgar Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, and others. The pups were imported to the United States beginning at around when an American-based breeding program was established. They were popular among the American elite and were owned by the likes of the Rockefellers and the Morgans.

This, coupled with their pointed and alert bat-like ears, gives them an extremely distinctive look. While most French Bulldogs have dark eyes that look almost black, Blue French Bulldogs should have lighter blue eyes and a blue nose. Temperament Blue French Bulldogs are loving companion dogs that are incredibly loyal to their human owners. Overall they tend to have a laid-back and charming personalities. They are highly adaptable and can get along in most situations; however, they can be territorial of their people which can make it difficult to get along with other small animals in the home, particularly cats and dogs.

Care Blue French Bulldogs can get comfortable anywhere, but they like to snuggle up and stay warm. They do best with around 30 minutes of exercise a day, preferably separated into two sessions. Their flat faces come with breathing difficulties, and working too hard can cause them serious distress. Never take your Blue French Bulldog swimming!

They will easily become frustrated or depressed if left alone at home for hours on end when everyone is at work. They also tend to entertain themselves by destroying whatever is at hand, so if you do go out and leave them at home, make sure they have a chew toy on hand to channel their destructive behavior. Health Issues Blue French Bulldogs generally have a lifespan of around 12 years, but they can have more than their fair share of health problems during that period. Most notably, their flat faces, known as brachycephalic, mean that they have trouble breathing. As a result, they need to avoid extremely hot temperatures and overexerting themselves. You will know when they are having a problem as they will start snorting and have obviously labored breathing. It is also not uncommon for Blue French Bulldogs to be born with spinal malformations such as hemivertebrae and abnormally shaped spinal bones. Good breeders should monitor for this. French Bulldogs are also unable to give birth naturally and often need a C-section. This is worth considering if you are getting a French Bulldog to breed.

These little dogs have breathing difficulties which make it hard for them to regulate their body temperature. Blue French Bulldogs are companion dogs which means that they have been bred to want to be around people. As a result, they can easily become frustrated or depressed if they are left alone for extended periods of time. Will your dog be alone at home for hours at a time while you are at work, or do you work from home or in a dog-friendly location? You will need to commit to taking them out at least once a day for minutes, even in the colder months. If you have a very active lifestyle, you are probably looking for a pup that can accompany you on your adventures. Blue French Bulldogs are small and low-maintenance, making them a great choice for new dog owners. You may want the help of a professional trainer when starting out. If you are thinking about getting a dog that you can breed in the future, then a Blue French Bulldog is not a good choice. While their pups certainly sell for a good figure, breeding them is notoriously difficult as the females are unable to give birth naturally. Breeding is best left to the professionals, and you probably want to spay your female dogs to avoid the trauma of an unwanted pregnancy. While Blue French Bulldogs like children, they tend to be fragile and so are easily hurt by children who have not yet learned how to handle dogs with care. Also, these dogs can be a bit territorial with their people which can make it hard to get along with other small animals such as dogs and cats. If you already have pets at home, it may be difficult for this new addition to fit in. Blue is one of the rarest colors for French Bulldogs. For that reason, they can cost twice as much as puppies of other colors, and there tends to be a waiting list. These dogs usually have white patches on their chest or belly. How can you tell if a French Bulldog is blue? The coloring of a Blue French Bulldog is distinctive and not often confused with other colors; however, with puppies, it is not always easy to determine exactly what color their coat will be as they grow up, as their coat can be very dark. To check whether a puppy will be blue, look at the eyes and nose. The nose should be the blue color of their future coat. They should also have lightish blue eyes, rather than the almost black eyes of most French Bulldogs. Are Blue Frenchies Pure-Bred? Yes, Blue Frenchies are pure-bred dogs, they are just a color variation within the pure French Bulldog breed. What is the difference between a blue and a lilac French Bulldog?

According to rankings by the American Kennel Club in , this breed is the number 2 in the option for families to buy amongst a selection of dog breeds. These bulldogs have a long history stemming from their original use for bull baiting in Britain. Many people still see these as an old English bulldog and a cultural icon, and it is one of the most popular dogs you will see in England. They do have fierce determination, persistence and an underrated strength, and these are part of why many people love them so much for a family companion. British bulldogs naturally have wide heads and shoulders, flat faces covered with skin folds and thick flaps, and a shorter and higher muzzle than many other dogs. Their thick facial skin folds are also present under their neck, and their pointed teeth and endless snorting constitute a significant factor in the fierce and sometimes scary look they have become known for. So why should you go for an English bulldog? What exactly makes them so special and wonderful anyway? Well, here are a few things we love about this breed of bulldogs. The first and most important benefit to us is that English bulldogs are very good guard dogs. Despite their relatively small size, these dogs are not to be underestimated. Their aggressive nature from their history of bull baiting has been passed down from generation to generation of bulldogs, making them mean fighters to intruders. These dogs do not hesitate to leap into action and defend their owners when there is a threat. Another big benefit is that they are family-friendly and safe to be around your children. Despite the strength and aggression they show to outsiders, you can be sure that your well-trained English bulldogs are perfect family friends that can be around your children with low chances of danger. This very tolerant breed loves to keep a quiet and watchful eye over its owners and is very good at informing you when they sense something wrong. Their short, stubby legs also make for some very funny moments, such as their clumsy efforts to climb onto surfaces, like your couch or their dramatic pouts and faces. English bulldogs have a natural pranking streak that makes you laugh effortlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions How much exercise do English bulldogs need? English bulldogs are a low-energy breed and do not require a lot of exercise. A daily walk or play session of minutes should meet their physical needs. However, due to their short snouts, English bulldogs are prone to overheating, so it's important to avoid strenuous exercise or exercise in hot weather. Indoor play, such as fetch or tug-of-war, can provide them with physical and mental stimulation. Regular exercise is vital for their overall health and well-being. How to train an English bulldog puppy? Train an English bulldog puppy with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Early socialization and obedience training are important. Avoid punishment-based training. Find a trainer who understands the breed and its unique needs. Consistency and patience are key to success in training an English bulldog puppy. What are the key features that make Bulldogs special? Bulldogs are notable for their unique physical appearance, friendly and affectionate nature, and loyalty. They are low-energy and good with children, making them popular family pets. Their wrinkly faces and undershot jaw give them a distinct look, while their muscular build and confident attitude make them recognizable and loved by all. Where can I buy an English bulldog? English bulldogs can be purchased from various sources, including breeders, pet stores, and animal rescue shelters. When buying from a breeder, it's important to find a reputable one that's committed, knowledgable, follows ethical breeding practices, provides information about the dog's health temperament, and offers a written guarantee.

However, we do know they came about when designer dogs gained traction in the 80s when dog owners wanted the best of two breeds. Despite their name, French Bulldogs originated in England, where they were produced as toy versions of the bulky English Bulldog. These mini dogs were popular among English lace workers, who carried them when they immigrated to France for better opportunities. They were bred with other breeds like Terriers and Pugs and got the bat ears along the way. Pitbulls have a much more violent history in dog fighting because of their agility, size, and courage. They originated from the old English Bulldog, which was eventually bred with Terriers to increase speed and agility for fights. The term Pitbull actually refers to a type of dog that includes a number of different breeds, like the American Pitbull Terrier and American Bully. The prolific use of the American Pitbull Terrier in dogfighting and among gangs has given this breed a bad reputation. Once the image of the All-American dog, the Pittie was dealt all the wrong cards. French Pitbulls are muscular with a stocky build and are impressively strong for their often tiny size. They have a short, single-layer coat, but their length can increase if a fluffy Frenchie is used for breeding. They will remind you of a Frenchie, probably due to the ears. Help Dogs In Need Our blog posts aim to provide comprehensive, accurate, and objective information on all types of dogs, helping our readers make informed choices that fit their lifestyle. We don't endorse any specific breeding practices, but advocate for ethical breeding and dog welfare. We encourage exploring adoption first. Countless wonderful dogs, from all breeds, await their forever homes in shelters. Remember, with AdoptDontShop, you can give a deserving rescue a second chance at happiness. General Care of a French Bulldog Pitbull Mix Hypoallergenic: Not hypoallergenic due to shed hair and pet dander Shedding: Low to moderate shedding everyday Exercise: 45 to 60 minutes of exercise every day Housing: Apartments Temperament: Sweet-natured, alert, playful, friendly, and gentle Trainability: Moderate trainability due to moderate intelligence Energy Frenchies have a reputation as designer lap dogs, but Pitbull genes give this mixed breed quite the energy kick. Exercise 45 to 60 minutes of daily physical exercise will keep off obesity, boredom, and anxiety-related issues. Keep the walks short and low-intensity for about 20 to 30 minutes each, with plenty of rest in between. Housing Frenchie Pitbulls are velcro dogs. They need to share your space and be as close to you as possible. They may adapt to small spaces, depending on how much they take after the French Bulldogs, which is ideal for apartments. Otherwise, they will do best with a yard. Supplements like Omega-3 and omega-6 acids improve immunity. The French Bulldog parents are prone to allergies from filler products, so try to look for the highest quality dog food possible. Vets advise on the best diet for dogs with chronic health conditions. Grooming Grooming a Frenchie Pitbull is easy because their single-layered, smooth coats barely shed. Gently brush their coat about twice a week with a grooming glove and bathe them every four weeks for coat health. Only used a gentle oatmeal and aloe shampoo as these dogs have sensitive skin. Shedding increases if a fluffy Frenchie parent is used for breeding. Give them a French ie manicure and pedicure every month to prevent broken and ingrown nails. As brachycephalic breeds, these mixed dogs are particularly prone to dental issues due to teeth overcrowding, so use a dog-safe mouth rinse in their water. To combat the issue, brush their teeth at least twice a week. Ear cleaning with dog ear wipes keeps those bat ears in shape. As we see in Frenchies and other dogs like Merle Pitbulls , breeding for exaggerated features or colors increases potential medical issues. Due to their shortened muzzle , French Pitbulls are especially prone to breathing difficulties like brachycephalic airway syndrome. If socialized early, the French Bulldog Pitbull Mix can get along well with other pets. Although they are not aggressive, dogs of the same sex can have problems if they are not spayed or neutered. In addition, pitbulls have a high prey drive which can be a problem for cats and small pets. However, proper training and socialization will often alleviate this problem. Food and Dietary Requirements American French Bull Terriers can be a bit more similar to other breeds in terms of diet. However, they should eat mostly meat. However, they are prone to overeating and should only be fed when necessary. They can quickly become overweight if given too much food. A diet rich in lean animal protein, easy digestion and nutrients is essential for them. Fish sources are a good source of healthy omega-3 and 6 fatty acids that are essential for the health and well-being of your dog's coat. You should give your dog at least cups of dry food daily, depending on his size and activity level. It should also be supplemented occasionally with lean meats. We only recommend the highest quality dry foods possible, as French Bulldogs can be allergic to certain dry foods. Avoiding ingredients like wheat, corn, or soy is a good idea. They can cause skin irritation, digestive issues, and rashes. Exercise American French Bull Terriers need regular, daily exercise, but not as much as their Pitbull parents. A brisk walk of about an hour a day should suffice; however, these dogs are temperamental and energetic and may need more. They love to play and will enjoy agility and play in the yard. French bulldogs can have difficulty breathing when overworked. If your dog inherits the flat muzzle from the Frenchie, he may also have breathing issues. These dogs, like smaller breeds like pugs, are often brachycephalic. Keep an eye on them during exercise to ensure they are breathing correctly. They can become extremely hot and angry, which may require surgery. However, French Bulldog Pitbull Mix often inherits the muzzle from Pitbull parents, which is not a problem. Their intelligence and speed make them easy to train. It is essential to mention that both parent breeds can be stubborn and independent at times which can make training difficult. The training to be as interactive and fun as possible to overcome this problem. Training sessions should be limited to 20 minutes. This will reduce the likelihood of them getting bored or distracted. To speed up the process and cement the commands, training can and should be incorporated into daily life. It all starts the day they arrive home. An example: ask them to sit down before eating, before going for a walk, and before rewarding them with a treat. Training is incomplete without socialization. These dogs come from a long history as farm animals and hunting dogs and should be introduced to their family members as soon as possible. It is also important to socialize your dog with other dogs. Walking in the park and being exposed to other animals and dogs will help you get used to people and other dogs. Aside from occasional brushing to remove hair, they require very little maintenance. They may need to be washed down with water if they get muddy, but avoid soap and shampoos as they can damage their skin and coat. To prevent infection or pain, keep their nails short and brush their teeth regularly. However, French Bulldogs are classic designer breeds and can have a number of genetic health issues. Some of these problems can easily be passed on to your American French Bull Terrier. It's a good idea that you know them. Brachycephalic airway syndrome is the most common problem in French Bulldogs. Due to their flat face and short head, this problem can lead to breathing difficulties. This can manifest as snoring or retching and retching. In extreme cases, surgery may be needed to correct the condition. Hip dysplasia can be found in Pitbulls as well as Frenchies. It is treatable with exercise and healthy eating habits. Collapsed trachea is quite common in French Bulldogs. This is due to their flat face and short muzzle. You can avoid this by controlling your weight or taking medication. Other minor issues include allergies, cherry eyes, heat stress, cataracts, and other issues. They often become exhausted trying to reach the females. Artificial insemination is used to ensure that females can reproduce. These dogs are costly but have the advantage of strict health checks and more control over breeding lines. Females are unable to give birth naturally due to their unique proportions. To have puppies, most females will need to undergo a cesarean section. This increases the cost of these dogs. This Pitbull weighs 79 kg, while the average Pitbull only weighs around 27 kg. Although the French Bulldog is the smallest bulldog breed, there are other varieties like the Micro French Bulldog or the Teacup Bulldog. These tiny French Bulldogs can weigh as little as kg, while the average French Bulldog weighs around 11 kilograms. The AKC does not recognize them because they are extremely rare. These dogs are not ethically possible to breed, as Frenchies can be difficult to breed. The generalization of this term has fueled the fire of the misrepresentation of the race. It can be used as an umbrella term for many breeds. Leave a comment. They are typically small dogs bearing the same powerful and muscular build as their parent breeds. If you choose to have one as a pet, you can expect a pleasant dog with a playful side. With the combined characteristics of the legendary Pitbull and sweet Frenchie, an American French Bull Terrier is the perfect companion dog for those who want to jump on the designer dog trend. However, we can assume that many breeders experimented with mixing these breeds after French Bulldogs and Pitbulls became popular in the United States. French Bulldogs were originally found in England and produced as toy versions of the English Bulldog. The breed later thrived in France and was owned by people of all levels in society. Similarly, Pitbulls were first bred in England. However, these dogs have an unpleasant history. Instead of being companion dogs, they were mainly used in dogfighting and bull baiting. They were also brought to the country through British immigrants during the s. With this information, we can hypothesize that French Pitbulls were first bred after people became hyped with French Bulldogs and Pitbulls and when dogfighting was finally outlawed. The same can be said for Pitbulls, the lovable and playful giants. Combining the genes of these dogs, you can expect a small to medium-sized dog with a muscular and stocky build. French Pitbulls have distinguishable features such as their pointed bat ears, large square-like head, and short muzzle. Those with stronger Pitbull features have longer snouts which are more preferable. A French Bulldog Pitbull mix also has well-defined cheekbones and wide-set eyes that can be blue, black, or brown. The nose is wide and usually a dark color like black or brown. Their chest is wide and the jaws are strong while the legs are short but powerful. The coat is fairly short and easy to groom. Most American French Bull Terriers come in white, fawn, and cream in color. However, due to their Pitbull genes, they can come in other color combinations and patterns. As mentioned, the French Bulldog Pitbull mix is a small to medium-sized pup. When fully grown, male French Pitbulls can weigh around 30 to 40 pounds while females can weigh 30 to 37 pounds. In terms of height, males are generally taller with 15 to 19 inches, while females are expectedly shorter with 14 to 16 inches. However, some French Pitbulls are reported to be only around 28 pounds and grow only between 11 to 13 inches tall. Nevertheless, their size is very suitable for small apartments and for people who want a cute lap dog. Another common curiosity about the Pitbull French Bulldog mix is their temperament. Since both French Bulldogs and Pitbulls have a reputation for being aggressive breeds, many people want to find out if this crossbreed behaves similarly. Due to their loving nature, they usually make their owners the center of their attention. These mixed breeds are also very playful because of their Pitbull heritage. Paired with their high energy, their playfulness can get quite chaotic. However, with early training, both their active disposition and high prey drive can be toned down to avoid any destruction in the house. A French Pitbull is also a great family dog since it can easily get along with people, especially children. These dogs may be small but they are stronger than your little ones. For future owners, early socialization is a must for these dogs. Not only will this help them be less wary of people but also teach them to be at ease with having other animals in the house. A French Bulldog Pitbull mix can live for around 12 to 14 years. However, you need to watch out for potential health problems that these dogs can suffer from. Because of their genetics, they can inherit conditions common to both their parent breeds: Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome: Due to their short muzzles, a Pitbull French Bulldog mix can have breathing problems caused by brachycephalic airway syndrome. This refers to a set of upper airway complications including stenotic nares, extended nasopharyngeal turbinates, an elongated soft palate, laryngeal collapse, a hypoplastic trachea, and everted laryngeal saccules. Skin Diseases: Because of the wrinkly folds on their face skin, these dogs can develop skin conditions like eczema or allergic dermatitis, and bacterial infections. They can also develop tumors and even skin cancer. Eye Problems: Problems involving vision can also affect older French Pitbulls. Eye conditions such as cherry eye or prolapse of the third eyelid and cataracts are common to these dogs. The latter is caused by excessive buildup of protein in the body. Heart Disease: Another common health problem of this breed is heart disease including mitral valve disease which can cause heart murmurs and dilated cardiomyopathy DCM which is the thinning of the heart muscles. Both can lead to heart dysfunction when left undetected. As these dogs mature, their hip joints might not grow at the correct rate. This can cause pain, lameness, and difficulty in movement. In some cases, it can develop into osteoarthritis. With these health problems in mind, you can better choose a breeder that can ensure that the French Pitbull puppy you get is free of serious diseases and will not develop them as they get older. Here are some of the advantages of breeding an American French Bull Terrier: Unique appearance: A cross between a Pitbull and a French Bulldog can produce a dog breed with the combined features from both parents. Sometimes, the dog will inherit the traits of the more dominant gene but in many cases, it will have an interesting look that will make people look twice. Better temperament: Pitbulls are known for their high energy level and goofy personality. On the flip side, French Bulldogs are more reserved but equally affectionate. Because their temperaments compliment each other so well, you can expect an even-tempered companion dog. Lowered risk for congenital diseases: The risk for inheriting congenital diseases is higher for purebred dogs. This probability decreases with careful crossbreeding. Reputable breeders conduct genetic tests to know if the parent is a carrier of the gene for a specific condition. Before you decide if a French Pitbull is right for you, consider the following disadvantages of crossbreeding: Hard to predict size: The American Pit Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier are normally larger than a Frenchie. Their cross will result in a slightly smaller version. High-risk deliveries: French Bulldogs are small breeds. Because of their narrow hips, it might be difficult for them to deliver puppies naturally. In many cases, a C-section needs to be performed for the safe delivery of the litter. High-cost of breeding: Designer breeds like the Pitbull French Bulldog mix tend to be more expensive than regular purebred dogs. Breeders often spend more on veterinary consultations and health screening for this breed. The cost of expenses is added to the final price of the puppy. Like purebreds and other mixes, owning a French Pitbull has its own benefits and drawbacks. Female Pitbull: Which Is Better? Dogs are lifelong friends whether they are purebred or mixed breed.

But what can you expect if you decide to adopt one of these amazing dogs into your family? Read on as I take you through exactly what you can expect from a golden retriever-German shepherd mix, including their size, appearance, temperament, and the care they need to thrive. Is the golden shepherd the right dog for you? Learn more below! Essential Statistics Breed: Mix of golden retriever and German shepherd Height: 21 — 26 inches Coat Type: Medium-long high shedding coat Colors: Black, cream, white, gold, yellow, brown, chocolate, liver Lifespan: 7 — 12 year lifespan Temperament: Highly intelligent, easy to train, playful, friendly, does well with families Exercise: High energy and exercise needs History Of The Breed Golden retrievers were first bred in the United Kingdom to retrieve shot waterfowl. Their soft mouths allow them to retrieve ducks and other game without damaging them. As a highly intelligent breed that is eager to please and with a naturally good nature and understanding of how to act around children, goldens have been popular working dogs since the s, and you will often see them working in search and rescue and disability assistance. German shepherds , also known as Alsatians, were first bred in Germany just before the start of the 20th century as herding dogs. When natural sheep predators began to die out in Germany at the start of the 20th century, German shepherds were taught to do other kinds of work. While German shepherds are not an aggressive breed, they developed a bad reputation in the 20th century when the German Nazi army started using them as working dogs. The breed was also adopted by gangsters and bootleggers in the United States. Fortunately, today, their reputation is largely recuperated, and they are often seen working with police and in roles such as search and rescue. Golden shepherds were first bred around .The intention with this mixed breed was to create a dog with the courage, quickness, and alertness of the German shepherd but also with the good nature of the golden retriever, which is also intelligent, highly trainable, and easy to please. The results are excellent working dogs and family pets. Golden retrievers are usually 21 to 25 inches tall and will usually be the mother in a first generation golden shepherd coupling. They weigh 55 to 75 pounds. German shepherds are slightly larger, measuring 22 to 26 inches tall and weighing 50 to 90 pounds. As you would expect, their golden shepherd offspring measure 21 to 26 inches tall and weigh 50 to 90 pounds on average. Both parent dog breeds have medium-to-long coats that are known to be high-shedding, so you can expect the same from a golden shepherd. Being a mixed breed, they can come in an extensive range of colors, including black, cream, white, gold, yellow, brown, chocolate, and liver, and they will often be bicolor. The color of their coat tends to be highly unpredictable in the first generation. Because they are high-shedding, they do need regular grooming, which means brushing at least once a week to keep shedding under control. Still, there is no escaping all that dog hair, and you will definitely need to invest in a good vacuum cleaner. The way their facial features will develop is less predictable, since they are still a new breed and breeders are still learning to control for desirable features. They can also either have the pointed ears of a German shepherd or the drooping ears of a golden retriever. Either way, they are sure to be a gorgeous pup! Golden Shepherd Temperament And Intelligence Golden retrievers are known for being playful and friendly dogs that love everyone they meet and therefore make terrible guard dogs. They are playful and loyal to the family with whom they have developed a bond. While they can be wary of strangers or anything that seems out of place, they are more likely to alert you with a bark than attack. You can expect a golden shepherd to be playful and friendly, but a little bit warier of strangers than your standard golden retriever. Both parent breeds are highly intelligent and also eager to please. German shepherds, in particular, are also independent thinkers and problem solvers. This means golden shepherds are easy to train, as they learn new commands quickly and enjoy the rewards that come with completing them, but they are also good at knowing what is required of them in new circumstances. Golden shepherds, like both of their parent breeds, are incredibly loyal and will want to be around their people all the time, whether that is out and about, or curled up on the couch at home. This can lead to frustration and destructive behavior. They are naturally protective of children, and despite being large breed dogs, they are very aware of their own size and strength and know how to play gently with children. However, it could be a struggle to have this breed with very young children, as they have lots of playful energy, and this can be overwhelming for smaller folks. Golden Shepherd Energy And Exercise Golden shepherds, like both their parent breeds, are high-energy dogs. Additionally, golden shepherds need at least an hour of fairly intense exercise each day. This means running around the dog park and sniffing everything, playing catch, and going for a swim rather than just a casual walk. They should be getting less exercise as puppies, despite their apparent energy, as too much exercise can undermine their proper development. While they are growing, they should have about five minutes of exercise per day per month of age. So at four months, they need 20 minutes of exercise each day, and at six months, they need half an hour. As adult dogs, they will love joining you on longer adventures, such as hikes and boat trips and will have no problem keeping up. Bear in mind that, while they are natural swimmers, if you go out on a boat, they should be wearing a flotation vest. As well as formal exercise, they need to be able to move around and play throughout the day, and a decent-sized backyard is the best thing for this. Golden Shepherd Health Concerns Of course, when you adopt a dog into your family, you will want to closely monitor and care for their health. This means ensuring they are vaccinated for all the most transmissible canine diseases, such as Parvo , protection against fleas and ticks , and proper dental care, which ideally means daily brushing. But certain dog breeds are also more susceptible to certain health conditions than others. With mixed breeds, they could be less susceptible to some of the most common ailments of their parent breeds, or they could be more susceptible to certain conditions. The best thing to do is inform yourself about the common health issues for both parent breeds and monitor your puppy for all of them. This means for golden shepherds, you will want to be on the lookout for: Elbow and hip dysplasia, common in both parent breeds Eye conditions, common in both parent breeds Bloating gastric dilation volvulus , common in both parent breeds Epilepsy, common in German shepherds Allergies, common in golden retrievers Hypothyroidism, common in golden retrievers Degenerative myelopathy hemangiosarcoma, common in German shepherds Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, common in German shepherds Of course, just because some dog breeds are more susceptible to these conditions does not mean they will get any of them, and your golden shepherd could pass their entire 7-toyear lifespan without being affected by any of these. But if you know the symptoms, you can catch any problems early and ensure a better quality of life for your dog. One other health concern with both the parent breeds of golden shepherds is obesity. They love their food, and we love to reward them with delicious treats. Remember, every treat you give them also contains calories! Also, never feed them off your own plate. They already tend to think they are human, and this can just lead to begging at the table and food theft! Plus, a lot of the foods humans eat are toxic to dogs. This not only includes chocolate and fake sugar, but also common kitchen staples such as onion and garlic. Invest in good quality food for your dog and avoid giving them table scraps. No doubt having read my guide you are interested in bringing a fantastic golden shepherd into your family. These are the questions you should ask yourself to determine whether you are a good fit for this unique breed. Do you have an active lifestyle? Your dog is going to need lots of exercise and is happiest when they can accompany their humans in energetic activities. Are you out of the house a lot? Golden shepherds love company and need to be around their people most of the time. They need a home where there is usually someone about or where they can accompany someone to work. Do you have much space? Golden shepherds thrive when they have space to use their energy, and they are fairly big, so they can make a small apartment feel claustrophobic. Are you willing to accept dog hair as a part of life? Are you a first-time owner? Golden shepherds are easy to train and control, so they are actually great choices for first-time owners. Do you have kids or other pets? Golden shepherds are great around kids and other pets if they are properly socialized. But these big dogs with lots of energy could be challenging if you have very small children. Let these questions guide you as to whether a golden shepherd is the right dog for you. In short, if you are low on space, time, or energy, a different breed might be a better match. If you find a breeder selling for less than this, be wary, as you may be dealing with a puppy mill. You may also find golden shepherds in your local shelter , because despite being amazing and pliable dogs, their energy and attention and exercise needs often prove too much for some owners. What do you think of the golden shepherd? Does it mix the best aspects of the German shepherd and golden retriever? Is this the kind of dog you would like to adopt?
