basset hound poodle mix puppies for sale

I'll try and be brief with my story which leads to my passion for labradoodles, I was first introduced to the Labradoodle breed during my son's lengthy hospital stay in Palo Alto, California. It was LOVE at first sight!!! My 34 year old son Tim passed away Sept 17, , from complications of a double lung transplant due to his diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in January, .Needless to say it was a nightmare. Tim has two children ages 17 and 12 that now spend countless hours with my husband, myself and our doodles! During the long periods of Tim's hospital stays, we were fortunate enough to meet a beautiful labradoodle. Generally dogs are not allowed on the hospital transplant floors, but because we are such dog lovers as well as the severity of Tim's illness we were allowed canine visits. The minute I saw him, I was hooked head over heels in love with the breed. After Tim's passing I experienced a loneliness like never before. However, in the back of my head I could almost hear the calling to learn more about this breed. Thus my research began, I researched the breed and found the answer for my instant connection to these beautiful animals, they are truly delightful, loving, intuitive little clowns who can steal your heart in a moments glance! Our hearts will never be the same. If I am able to help others so they too may experience the love and joy of owning such a wonderful companion then I will have accomplished my mission. My commitment to keeping this breed as pure and healthy as possible is my top priority along with providing the dogs with lots of love and compassion and only selecting the same when considering placement. I recently retired from working 27 years for the state, to stay home and take care of my son, I always knew I'd find something to do. I never dreamed my desire to become a Labradoodle mom is what would find me. At Delta Breeze Labradoodles we want to help you in finding the perfect new puppy for your family! We also want to ensure that each puppy is welcomed into a caring and loving home. Life's too short not to share it with a labradoodle! At Delta Breeze Labradoodles, we have quality puppies that you will love. These are a much different breed than Labradoodles that are not denoted as Australian. A Multigenerational Multigen Australian Labradoodle is the result of breeding Australian Labradoodles to other Australian Labradoodles over many generations. This allows breeders to selectively breed for temperament, coat, intelligence, aesthetics and quality without having to bring in other traits from any of the original foundational breeds. Australian Labradoodles can be standard, medium or miniature in size. All colors of the poodle can be found in the Australian Labradoodle. Coat types run from wavy-straight to a spiraling curl. Coat textures include wool, soft wool, silky fleece or a combination of the three. Australian Labradoodle History The Australian Labradoodle was originally created in Australia with the intent of creating a dog that was allergy-friendly with the temperament of a service dog. This was later expanded to include the Irish Water Spaniel and the Curly Coat Retriever, and these lines can still be found in some of today's Australian Labradoodles, but the standard is now just the three original breeds. We've listed the standards that have been set to date as a good guideline of what to expect. The standards listed here are excerpts from those found on the Australian Labradoodle Club of America and the Australian Labradoodle Association of America websites. Size Size is measured to the top of the shoulder blades withers while standing squarely on a level surface. Weight range tends to be 50 to 65 pounds. Weight range tends to be 30 to 40 pounds. Weight range tends to be 16 to 25 pounds. Sensitive to emotional needs or state of individuals and their "knowing" is what makes the Australian Multigenerational Labradoodles proven therapy and service dogs. Patterns Solid: Color is solid and preferably even with no white markings. A small white flash no larger than 2. Even colors are preferred, but natural coloration of the coat is not considered a fault. Solid with white markings: Color is solid with small white spots or patches typically seen on the chest, toes, or tip of the tail. Abstract: Any solid color with the second color being white. Must be less than fifty percent white. No set pattern is required but symmetrical markings on the head are preferred. Freckling of the solid color in the white of the coat is acceptable but not encouraged. Phantom: The body color must be solid, with defined markings of a second color as follows: above each eye, on the sides of the muzzle, on the cheek, on the underside of the ears, on the throat to fore chest, or in a chin and fore chest pattern, with minimum second coloring on the feet preferably up the legs and below the tail. Second color in the inside of the leg and flank is acceptable as well and should not be penalized. Markings are preferred to be clear and defined. Face markings of the second color with the entire face colored is acceptable though not preferred if the other required body markings are present. Any of the solid colors in combination is acceptable. Sable: Black-tipped hairs on any solid color - preferably even, but an uneven ticking pattern will not be penalized. Multi: Multiple colors or patterns, as in a phantom with large white abstract markings, or a parti pattern with sable ticking, etc. Coat Types Coat types are also still very sporadic with many dogs showing a combination of multiple types. As the genetic values stabilize, we hope the "Ideal" coats are as follows: Fleece: Length is usually around 5 inches long. The Fleece coat texture should be light and silky quite similar to that of an Angora goat. Fleece coats rarely if ever shed. The less curly, the more chance of slight shedding. The fleece coat has been found to be allergy friendly. Wool: Coats are denser to the feel like a sheep's wool. The "Ideal" wool coat should "hang" in loose hollow spirals. The Australian Labradoodle has a single coat. It is extremely rare for a wool coat to shed, and is the preferred coat type for families with severe allergies. To keep the wool coat long and flowing will require more maintenance. The wool coat looks beautiful cut shorter and is very easy to maintain. Grooming and a trim or clip three or four times a year is all that is required to keep the short wool coat looking great. Average Lifespan The average lifespan of an Australian Labradoodle is between years. Australian Labradoodle Grooming California Australian Labradoodles Our desire to breed Australian Labradoodle Puppies was truly born because of a silly-hearted Labradoodle named Marley Moo , however my personal exposure to breeding in California started over 30 years ago. I grew up in a family of breeders and from a very young age I was exposed to proper breeding habits, whelping, and the importance of these living, breathing creatures that are under my care. My early exposure to breeding and raising animals not only taught me many life lessons that have stayed with me to this day, but it has taught me that being a part of responsible breeding is truly an honor that we humans have the opportunity to take part in. We also believe that the decision of bringing an Australian Labradoodle or any dog for that matter into your home and into your family, is a big decision! Your journey should begin with a quality Australian Labradoodle breeder who openly welcomes your questions and concerns. Our goal is to place our Australian Labradoodle puppies with forever families who will treat them as a member of their family, and to provide exceptional communication and service to our families along the way.

I am an accredited member breeder and previous board member of the Australian Labradoodle Association of America ALAA ; a worldwide organization promoting responsible breeding, and maintaining the largest database of Australian Labradoodles and Labradoodles in the world. Although many of our Australian Labradoodle puppies go to California cities, such as Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and San Diego, we can still deliver a beautiful Australian Labradoodle puppy to your home through our California Labradoodle nanny service if you are located outside of the state. What led us to the Labradoodle breed? An avid dog lover from the beginning — I have co-existed with dogs from the moment I took my first breath. My mother was a breeder, and naturally dogs and puppies have always been a part of my life and a true passion for me. The first few years of being married we did a lot of traveling and it was the first time I lived without a dog! It felt as if something was surely missing. Once the traveling subsided and growing our family was in order, I knew that a dog would shortly follow when the timing was right. However, after giving birth to our second daughter, we quickly realized that she had multiple food and environmental allergies. We quickly came to the conclusion that a dog was just not possible for our family…. It was just a short time later that we brought our Marley Moo home followed by our sweet PJ just a short time later , and we quickly fell in love! It is for this reason that we take great pride in our Labradoodle breeding program and consider ourselves to be the backdrops in this truly special setting. At Moo Cow Labradoodles, we take our dogs seriously! Our Labradoodles are a part of our family and live indoors. Each dog has completed comprehensive health testing and we strive for proper temperament, ability and conformation. What Practices set Moo Cow Labradoodles apart? Equipped with DogTV, heating and cooling, vet flooring, and only the BEST in whelping equipment, the Moo Cow Puppy Nursery is an excellent example of a high-end puppy facility where health is our main priority! Our vet ensures that our breeding dogs and puppies are always a step above the rest by ensuring proper vaccination protocols, breed testing, preventative care, and excellent communication to ensure that we are knowledgeable and up to date on the latest health news and vet practices. Medical research is at the top our list, as well as staying up to date on the latest and greatest in proper breeding practices, whelping, newborn puppy care, nutrition and the overall longevity of our Australian Labradoodle puppies. We often frequent vet seminars, including reproduction, genetics, and neonatal seminars presented by research facilities, such as the UC Davis School of Vet Medicine. An Overall Experience: Adopting your next family member is an exciting time, and your enthusiasm should be met with the same! Once your puppy is old enough, a specific date will be set for our families to visit our facility and select their puppy. Does it get any better than that? But, we really mean it. We have spent amazing and wonderful weeks with our puppies, and each one of them takes a piece of our heart with them when they go. Each of our adoptive families becomes a part of our extended Moo Cow family, and there is no greater joy than receiving pictures and updates from our adoptive families. We have been so fortunate that nearly all of our Moo Cow families have kept in touch, and we have built relationships and friendships with the most amazing people! Puppy Nanny: Say what? We developed a program a few years back with a few wonderful people who escort our puppies by plane to their new homes. We do not fly our puppies cargo, and our puppy nanny service is the only form of transportation offered by us. Go ahead and say it…. Even if you are outside California and want a labradoodle puppy we have for sale, we can personally deliver it via our labradoodle puppy nanny service! People who suffer from allergies and asthma tend to be more tolerant of dogs who have coats that are more like human hair. The Labradoodle is one of those dogs, although even among Labradoodles there is quite a variation in coats. It is important to work with your breeder to determine the right coat for you. For more information about coats click here. Some doodles are non-shedding, others shed slightly and still others shed quite a bit. As hybrids, labradoodles can have non-shedding coats like the poodle side of the family, and others can have shedding coats like their lab relatives. Is a Labradoodle for everyone? These dogs require a lot of mental stimulation and challenge. They are extremely smart and need to feel challenged or they will get bored. And boredom can result in a variety of undesirable behaviors barking, chewing and digging. Doodles are extremely social animals who thrive on companionship. Are Doodles good for children? Doodles by their nature are friendly, non-aggressive, loyal and loving. But it is important to note that as puppies , doodles exhibit all of the behaviors that you might expect from any young, un-trained dog: puppy nipping, jumping and excitability. Training is absolutely necessary in helping your puppy learn how to behave within your household. For more information, click here or contact us. Which make better pets, males or females? Most behaviors that people associate with one gender or the other are influenced by hormones marking, humping, wandering etc. Since our pups are spayed and neutered before they go to their new homes, gender is irrelevant. We try to match our pups to their new families based on their temperaments and the level of experience that their new family has with raising dogs. We find that the best puppy-family matches are made when folks are flexible around the gender and color of their new canine family member. Can we pick out our puppy? When the litter is 5 weeks old we identify the prospective breeding pups that we will be retained for our breeding program. To this end we ask that families try to be open with regard to gender and color, sometimes folks have their hearts set on a particular color or gender but there may be other pups whose temperaments might be better suited for their family.

Here are some tips to help you out. A good breeder will… 1. Issue a health guarantee Make sure that your breeder of choice offers a health guarantee. A reputable Pug breeder will write up a binding health guarantee for all of their puppies. The guarantee protects you against any genetic defects or diseases. It shows that the breeder is confident that their puppies are bred according to best practices. This means if you can no longer look after your pup for some reason, you will be expected to return the puppy to the breeder rather than taking them to a shelter. Provide standard health clearances Your breeder should have full health clearances for both parent Pugs. Good breeders often provide some early health-check clearances for their pups too, although some health clearances simply cannot be carried on such young pups. Issue a written bill of sale Reputable breeders offer written bills of sale to all of their new Pug parents. This bill of sale should be signed and will outline all the roles and responsibilities to be taken on by the buyer and seller as part of the transaction. Vaccinate their puppies All puppies should be up to date on their vaccinations before being homed with new families. Your breeder of choice should be able to provide evidence of these vaccinations. Reputable breeders welcome prospective parents into their homes to see the puppies. Follow age guidelines Puppies should never leave the litter before 8 weeks of age. Any breeder offering pups for adoption before this time is not following best practices. In fact, this could be quite damaging for the puppy developmentally. A reputable breeder will keep their pups at home until eight to twelve weeks so that they can be properly socialized and spend that crucial time with their mother and litter-mates. Answer your questions Last, but not least, a reputable breeder will be knowledgeable. In most cases, they will also want to ask you plenty of questions to ensure that their precious pups are going to good homes. We have a strict selection process that takes a variety of factors into account. That way we can ensure that only the best breeders end up on our lists. This way we know that our chosen breeders offer genetically sound and healthy puppies. Health testing shows a commitment to the health and wellbeing of each Pug. Contact information Any breeder that does not offer up their contact information is a big red flag. A reputable breeder will make it easy for you to get in contact with them by providing telephone numbers, email addresses, and they will usually have a well-established website as well. It shows a commitment to breeding best practices. Event participation Breeders who also compete in doggie events are often some of the best. Because these people tend to be dog lovers par excellence. They live and breathe for their Pugs and are proud to show them off in public. They are also more likely to have a high level of breed knowledge — an excellent sign for a breeder. Breed club membership There are lots of breed clubs out there that breeders can register with. These clubs have rules, regulations, and membership fees. If your breeder is registered with the Pug Dog Club of America, this is a great sign showing commitment to the Pug breed. Recognition awards Lastly, we look out for awards! Institutions like the AKC recognize the efforts and achievements of top breeders. The very best will be awarded the AKC recognition of merit award. During this time we recommend getting everything ready before your new arrival rattles through the front door. Your puppy will need: a crate for sleeping and training during the early days quality puppy-grade food a leash and harness plenty of toys You may also wish to purchase a puppy gate if there are areas of your home that you want to keep your Pug away from.

You also need to make time to train them, get them to the vet for regular health checkups, feed them, and groom them. These activities are necessary for the pug puppy to grow healthy. For this reason, breeders discourage buyers who are constantly on travel or those who spend long hours in their work. The perfect puppy needs a parent that is consistently by their side. Another activity that will require your time is cleaning. Pugs are average shedders but they shed hair throughout the year. This is why it is a necessity to make sure they are groomed regularly.

Cream French Bulldog Puppy These are just the sweetest little things! They have blue eyes at first see below for more details. Their noses and paw pads darken to become solid black, usually within 24 hours. Their smooth, glossy coats are solid cream, but this color may lighten as the pup develops. French Bulldogs have a long history of severe health problems, so they need extra care and attention. You can buy unique skincare products designed for dogs to reduce the risk of allergies and infections. Wrinkles cause this dip in the skin, possibly trapping dirt and feces. It will also stop them from gorging their food all at once, reducing the risk of digestive problems. Smaller meals provided more regularly will help to ease this. For example, reputable breeders with excellent bloodlines will charge higher prices because their breeding program involves more expense. The price will also be affected by location, demand, and the sex or color of your dog. Even so, they may raise the price slightly to recover some of the expenses of breeding. One thing good breeders never do is breed specifically to get a particular color. Too many unscrupulous people are willing to take your cash, which is bad news for your bank account, but even worse for the dogs. Although thousands of online scams involve fake websites and ads for non-existent puppies, many real pups for sale online are produced in puppy mills. There are around 10, puppy mills in the US, where dogs are kept in miserable conditions. They are not cared for, never experience love or affection, and live in filthy kennels until they are no longer useful. Most puppy mill pups are sickly, poorly bred, and will cost you a packet in vet bills. While you might think reputable breeders charge too much, breeding is an expensive business when done correctly. When you buy from a reputable breeder, you know that the parents and pups have been treated well and tested for common health conditions. Your dog has an excellent chance of being healthy and living a long and happy life. Although brindle is the most common color, rare colors like blue appear to be growing in popularity. Many breeders are opposed to using dogs that carry this gene in their breeding programs as they are believed to increase the risk of certain diseases and health conditions. In most cases, they tend to change color after several weeks, usually turning brown, although green and amber are present in some breeds. As you might notice, none of these colors are included in the AKC breed standard! Sadly, blue eyes are not permitted either, probably to reduce the risk of further health problems. Chocolate Cream French Bulldog Photo from: mario. You can read more about rare colors further down, and the chocolate cream version is included there. Cream Frenchies are pretty rare anyway, but to get a chocolate and cream dog takes some doing. A pup will have to inherit two copies of the gene that dilutes black to brown to be chocolate. Oddly enough, the E-locus is dominant over all other colors! Any dog that possesses two copies of this gene will be completely cream, regardless of what other colors might be present. To the untrained eye, they look much like the blue version. However, when seen side by side, the difference is clear. This fantastic color, caused by a recessive gene, dilutes both the chocolate liver and the blue coat and is also referred to as isabella. Taking this one step further, Lilac Frenchies with the dilution gene will appear much lighter, usually with blue eyes. These dogs are known as Lilac Cream French Bulldogs. As we referred to earlier in the AKC breed standards, a pied dog is the same as a piebald. For Frenchies, the term pied is mainly used. First, what is a Pied French Bulldog? Therefore, you can have a white dog with black patches covering the body, including the head and neck. These black and white dogs are in demand, possibly in second place after brindle. Instead, the cream base has light fawn patches. All dog breeds suffer from health problems, although some are worse than others. French Bulldogs are more prone to certain health issues because of their size and shape. As dogs naturally have a long muzzle, this feature — a result of selective breeding — causes significant health concerns. The airways are crammed into the skull, causing breathing difficulties that may lead to fainting, collapse, and death. This causes the eyes to bulge, making them prone to injury from knocks and scrapes. They might even come out of the socket if the dog hits its head. The French Bulldog is prone to hip dysplasia because of decades of deliberate breeding. The problem is caused by a malformed hip joint that allows the bones to grate against each other, making movement difficult and uncomfortable. Surgery is often needed in severe cases. The kneecap usually slots into a groove in the bone. When it slips out of place, it stops the dog from extending its knee fully. The danger of pups becoming stuck in the birth canal is too much of a risk, so most French Bulldogs are born by C-section. Although safer, this method is not without its risks. Natural oils, dirt, sweat, and saliva become trapped inside, making a perfect environment for germs to thrive. While some allergic reactions are mild, they still make life uncomfortable for your furry friend. However, some reactions can be severe, resulting in anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal. Sadly, the Cream French Bulldog has an even greater risk of allergies because of its color. It all comes down to coat color genetics. However, we know enough to be convinced that some colors and patterns are bad news! Coat Color Pigments Dogs get their colors from two pigments: eumelanin and pheomelanin. These tell the cells in the hair follicles which colors to produce. Many people have concerns about the White French Bulldog as they believe that all white dogs are albino. However, very few white dogs are true albinos! Albinism carries a severe risk of blindness, eye damage, skin cancer, and light sensitivity. You can take some comfort in the fact that the White Frenchie is listed in the AKC breed standards, as they usually bar any colors that carry a health risk. In truth, some colors should be labeled color patterns, and merle fits this category, along with sable and brindle. Sadly, however, it seems to be linked to severe health issues. The merle gene responsible for the random, mottled pattern that appears on piebald or pied and solid color coats can also affect skin pigment, as well as the structures that form the eyes and ears. When two merle dogs are bred, pups that inherit this gene may suffer from deafness and eyesight problems. Many merle dogs have blue eyes, and some have one blue and one brown eye. As unusual and beautiful as this is, any dog with these qualities is banned from shows. For the sake of clarity, the merle gene rarely causes problems unless two merle dogs are bred. The jury is still out on this one! Many experts claim that the solid black Frenchie is the rarest, while others point to fascinating colors like blue, chocolate, merle, and lilac. By comparison, we only found one instance of a Chocolate Cream French Bulldog! You also hear about such oddities as the blue merle, blue fawn, blue pied, blue brindle, lilac cream, chocolate cream, and so on. There are also suggestions that specific rare colors are achieved by creating hybrids with other dogs, like the Pug. A good breeder might produce one or two litters a year. The average Frenchie litter is three pups. So, out of six puppies in one year, only one of these might be a rare or unusual color. Finally, we have to include the Cream French Bulldog in the list of rare colors. These lovely come in a fantastic array of colors, though some of the less common ones are considered non-standard and undesirable. However, its light color appeals to people, and it has recently become more popular. Social media is probably the biggest driver of trends and fashions these days, and, rightly or wrongly, dogs have become fashion accessories as well as pets. As awareness of different breeds or unusual colors spreads across social media pages, demand for particular dogs rises. So, while the brindle French Bulldog is the most common color and has been for some time, this could change soon. This is why many breeders, kennel clubs, and purebred dog enthusiasts believe that people should avoid breeding and buying dogs outside of the breed standards. They think that the whole point of purebred dogs is to preserve and improve the breed, and creating unusual colors, they argue, could jeopardize the breed. We should also consider the health implications of creating unusual colors, particularly where the merle gene is concerned. As fashions and fads come and go, it might be that the French Bulldog falls from favor, outdone by another adorable breed. However, the Cream French Bulldog is safe — for now. It can be a lapdog, show dog, or both! As long as dog lovers buy them, the breeders will produce them. In conclusion, we have to keep in mind that Frenchies have in-built health problems. While breeders and kennel clubs frown on any deviations from the standards, often citing health concerns, it has to be said that these little dogs are already at a disadvantage. Many animal welfare groups question whether it is ethical or fair to continue breeding them at all. Before you buy one, consider that they are predisposed to health conditions that will require many visits to the vet. As they can live for between 10 and 14 years, this can amount to money and stress! Read Next:. Share Tweet True cream color is often confused with fawn in French Bulldogs. The stunning color adds a divine feature to the personality of these little miniatures. However, proper research is essential before you buy a pure cream colored French bulldog. That is why I feel it is important to know the distinguishing features of cream French bulldogs. Cream vs. White vs. Fawn French Bulldogs A true cream French bulldog has a slightly dull white shade. Although it is a solid color, it is slightly off white. The breed is recessive dilute of fawn breed line. The clear and shiny coat has no marking on the coat that complement perfectly black twitchy nose, eye rims, pigments, lips and paws. Interestingly the cream French bulldog is born in pure white color, but it develops black edges on its rims and ears within 24 hours. As cute French bulldog puppies grow, the solid cream color gets prominent with light cream edges to ears. Cream French bulldogs never develop sharp color patterns on their body like pied or fawn. True cream color in French bulldog is not common and is very different than white. They have darker and dusky eye rims while white or pied ones develop black spots on the nose first. Plus, white French bulldog has pink eye rim, but there is no pink pigment and ticking in cream French bulldog. Although there is nothing wrong with buying these French bulldog puppies as they have stunning shades, they may show some health problems. Removal of pigment and deafness are common issues in extremely white French bulldogs. The breed removes pigment from their ears and face, often causing deafness. Moreover, French bulldog with unpigmented skin is susceptible to skin cancer as compared to those which have more pigment. The defect is also very common in pied breeds with blue eyes. It is a genetic defect. Cream French Bulldog Breeders The good news is that you will find many reputable breeders who breed true cream French bulldogs through different breeding programs. Blue Heaven French bulldog is a good choice if you are looking to buy a cute cream French bulldog puppy. They also have many cream colored French bulldogs for sale. The breeder follows high-quality breeding standards and has a great variety of tans, blues, brindles, and whites. They keep good quality check on French bulldogs genetic defects and responsibly breed the different breed lines. Bottom Line All in all, cream French bulldog puppies are simply adorable and come with all the great features you love about this breed. However, all you need to do is be a little more careful while spotting the differences among white, fawn, pied and cream colored French bulldog puppies. Post navigation. Learn more. French Bulldogs are undeniably one of the most popular dog breeds across the globe. The American Kennel Club ranks them as the most popular dog in New York City and fourth-most desirable dog breeds in the world. The Frenchies are playful and alert, have pleasant and infectious personalities, adapt well to family life, are good around children, and get along well with other pets. Another unique characteristic of the Frenchies is the variety of coat color patterns they come in. There are many physical variations of these dogs, especially when it comes to coat colors. This means that if you prefer dogs of certain colors, this breed is sure to accommodate your preferences. If it is your first time to deal with Frenchies, however, picking out a new pup can be a little bit intimidating because there are so many terms that are used to describe different Frenchie coat color patterns. To help you choose the right pet, this post will focus on Pied French Bulldogs. We will cover what a Pied Frenchie is and what you can expect when you own one. Pied or Piebald Frenchies are French Bulldogs with predominantly white coats with large dark-colored patches on different parts of the body—mostly on the back, under the neck, and around the ears and eyes. In other words, for a Frenchie to be recognized as Pied, it must have at least 50 percent of patches or spots of white and another color. However, the spots or patches can also be dark gray, black, or brown. So: Fawn Pied French Bulldogs: May have a white coat with fawn patches or a fawn color with black patches. Cream Pied French Bulldogs: Have cream coats with fawn patches. Blue Pied Frenchies: Have blue coats with patches of white or cream. So, Pied can be said to be the exact opposite of Brindle. A dog has 39 pairs of chromosomes. Out of these 39 pairs, one pair is a sex chromosome—it is what determines whether a dog is male or female. Autosomal inheritance of a gene simply implies that a gene is located on one of the other 38 pairs of chromosomes. This means that both a male and female dog are equally likely to have the gene. Recessive means that a dog must inherit both copies of the gene to display the trait in this case, a pied coat pattern. Instead, he or she will be a carrier. Instead, you will end up with all solid colored Frenchies who are carriers of the Pied gene. Pied French Bulldog Grooming Needs Pied Frenchies are fairly easy to groom as all they need is occasional brushing to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils evenly, keeping their coats healthy. So, you can always schedule the hair combing tasks to weekends as brushing their coats once a week will just suffice. Here are also other great grooming tools that we recommend for Pied Frenchies: 25 Best Deshedding Tools for Short Hair Dogs Ear and facial wrinkles, as well as the areas under the tail of Pied Frenchies, are susceptible to dirt and dust. Strive to keep them clean and dry to prevent potential bacterial infection. Every time you clean them, take your time to dry the skin between the folds. Considering that Frenchies are not as active as other dog breeds, their nails tend to become uncomfortably long within a short period. Due to their brachycephalic shaped faces, they have narrow nostrils and shortened muzzles, which somehow limit the supply of oxygen to their bodies. Nevertheless, they are heavy-chested and need short-time exercise routines to keep their weight in check. Some of the best exercises for these cute, short-legged canines include daily short walks, chasing a hanging piece, catching a ball, etc. Getting them a motion-activated toy can also take care of their exercise needs perfectly. Their shorts and disproportionately large heads also make it hard for these little cuties to stay afloat in water. You should always take great care of your Frenchie when he is around swimming pools, rivers, and ponds. Related Posts: Barrel Chest Dog Breeds Pied French Bulldog Health Issues Brachycephalic Syndrome: Their brachycephalic shaped faces have serious health implications including narrow nostrils, obstructed airways, eye socket related issues, and dental problems. The condition can cause anything from loud or labored breathing, snoring, snuffing to collapse of the airway. Heat and Cold Intolerance: These dogs are susceptible to heat exhaustion and often need air-conditioned environments. If you live in cold regions, always dress your Frenchie with a winter jacket. Patellar Luxation: This is a common problem in small dogs, including Frenchies, and occurs when the patella is not properly aligned and luxates or slips in and out. Related Posts: 12 Best Luxating Patella Dog Supplements Potential for Obesity: Because of their heavy bone structures, even a slight weight gain of 5lbs can be problematic for these little cuties. Eye Conditions: French Bulldogs suffer from a wide range of eye conditions including entropion, juvenile cataracts, cherry eye, etc. Related Posts:. They are always happy to please their owners and make great family pets. Cream Frenchies are affectionate, playful, and silly in an adorable way. Cream French Bulldogs are very intelligent and relatively easy to train. They excel in obedience training, agility competitions, flyball games, and other dog sports. They bark at anything unusual or suspicious, making them capable watchdogs. Unfortunately, their looks can work against them as no intruder would take them seriously. They also warm up to new people quickly, making them useless as guard dogs. Do Cream French Bulldogs get along with other pets? Yes, Cream French Bulldogs get along well with other pets. They are tolerant of other animals and love to play and interact with them. However, it is always better to supervise any interactions between your Cream Frenchie and other pets to avoid accidents. Proper socialization training is also vital for your Cream French Bulldog. Since they are naturally friendly, teaching them acceptable interaction boundaries with other dogs and people is essential. Cream French Bulldog training Cream Frenchies are typically very easy to train and respond well to positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement means you should praise and reward them when they do something well. They are also known for their ability to learn commands and instructions , which is why they make excellent therapy dogs. Try to keep training sessions short and simple. Cream French Bulldogs have an attention span of about 15 minutes at most, so keep lessons to that length of time, or else they will become bored and frustrated. Since Cream French Bulldogs are very intelligent, they excel in more advanced training activities like tricks and problem-solving games. These can be a great way for you to bond with your pooch and will help to make training sessions more enjoyable. Cream French Bulldog exercise requirement Cream French Bulldogs only require a moderate amount of exercise. A short walk or playtime in the yard is usually all they need. However, be sure to avoid overexerting your Cream Frenchie as they are prone to running out of breath quickly. Take your Cream Frenchie for daily short walks and monitor their food intake to ensure they stay at a healthy weight. Cream French Bulldog grooming and cleaning Thanks to their short coats, Cream French Bulldogs are relatively low-maintenance when it comes to grooming their fur. Weekly brushing is usually all they need to keep loose hair out of their coat and help him or her stay shiny. However, you will need to clean their wrinkles and folds regularly to avoid any accumulation of dirt, bacteria, and moisture. You can give them a quick wipe using a baby wipe or a cloth dampened with warm water. Your Cream French Bulldog would only need a bath every few weeks. Use a dog-friendly shampoo or a mild soap to wash them. You should thoroughly rinse off all of the soap because it can irritate the skin if left behind. Wipe your Cream Frenchie well and dry their wrinkles using a towel to absorb excess moisture. Is Cream French Bulldog hypoallergenic? No, Cream French Bulldogs are not hypoallergenic. They constantly shed throughout the year and produce a lot of dander. Their saliva and urine can also cause allergic reactions in some people. You should not adopt a Cream Frenchie if you have a canine allergy. Cream French Bulldog food and diet Cream French Bulldogs are not particularly picky eaters and will eat almost anything. However, you should ensure that they get the right amount of nutrients in their diet by feeding them high-quality dog food. You can find a variety of dry and canned food for your Frenchie at your local shop or online store. Human foods can make your dog sick , as they may contain ingredients that are safe for us and toxic to our furry friends. Be sure to check the ingredients of the human foods first before you give anything to them to ensure they are safe for canine consumption. Cream Frenchies are prone to obesity, so you should monitor their food intake and make sure they get enough exercise. Avoid foods containing a lot of fat, sugar, and salt. Instead, give them a diet that is high in protein and fiber. You might also like: Can Dogs Eat Cabbage? Cream French Bulldog common health problems Cream French Bulldogs are slightly more prone to health problems than other breeds. The cream color results from the dilution gene, which often leads to congenital issues in canines. Some common health problems that your Cream Frenchie may experience include: 1. They have trouble breathing because their airways are narrowed and blocked. This congestion can lead to respiratory problems, overheating, and exercise intolerance. Patellar Luxation In this condition, the kneecap randomly pops out of place. It can cause pain, lameness, and instability, but sometimes, it is nothing more than an inconvenience. Patellar luxation can lead to arthritis and bone degeneration. Hip dysplasia Hip dysplasia is when the hip joint is malformed and does not function properly. It can cause pain, arthritis, and a limited range of motion. Responsible breeding practices can help reduce hip dysplasia in pups. Alopecia Alopecia is a condition where the dog loses its hair. The reason behind it can be genetics, allergies, infections, or autoimmune diseases. In Cream Frenchies, alopecia is due to the presence of the dilution gene. Tracheal collapse Tracheal collapse is when the trachea or windpipe becomes weak and collapses. It can cause coughing, gagging, and difficulty breathing. Treatment involves steroids and medications. Cream French Bulldog lifespan Due to their propensity for health problems, Cream French Bulldogs typically have a shorter lifespan than other breeds their size. On average, they live between 9 and 12 years. However, proper care and nutrition can improve their quality of life.

Yes, Cream French Bulldogs are considered a rare breed. There are not many Cream Frenchies around, so if you want to add one to your family, be prepared to do some searching. What makes a Cream Frenchie? The Cream Frenchie gets its unique coloring from the presence of the dilution gene. This gene is responsible for lightening the color of their fur, resulting in a beautiful dog with a special coat. No material on this site is intended to be a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your veterinarian or other qualified health care provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Frenchies of this color are rare because of the difficulty of breeding them. It is often confused with the fawn or pied pattern since this color dilutes the recessive fawn gene. The color comes from a double copy of the reverse yellow locus gene. Cream French Bulldogs are born white with blue eyes. After a day, they develop black edges on their ears, eye rims, lips, and paw pads. The cream color becomes more prominent over time, with the edges near their ears also changing to cream. The dogs may even possess a dark mask on their faces. The color of their eyes changes to brown after ten weeks. The AKC and other prominent breed registries recognize cream as a standard color. Blue Cream These Frenchies are mostly cream, but also have the genes that give them a blue color. Cream and White They mostly have a cream body with white markings, or even the other way round. This color dilution is also observed on the eyes, nose, and paw pads. Lilac Cream These dogs appear much lighter than a standard lilac Frenchie and usually have blue eyes. Other Breeds to Explore.

Those who are not dog lovers would be if they had one of our Golden Retrievers. Golden Dog Kennel is operated by Alan and his wife Joyce. My background has given me many resources and experiences to raise Golden Retrievers in a professional manner but with the personal, loving attention of a hobby. It is a very gratifying endeavor. Anyone who has owned a golden knows the unconditional love they give you day in and day out. Our Business and your responsibility We love our dogs and feel responsible for our puppies so: All buyers must have a secure yard at their home, Minimum 5 ft fence. A dog has the potential to be your best friend and deserves responsible ownership and loving care every day. They also must be allowed to come in the house with you. Please understand caring properly for your dog is not without some cost. After purchase you will have some minor vet bills on occasion, food bills and toys. We have had very little negative feedback regarding our pups. They are retrievers so they like to carry stuff as retrievers should, but they are not big time chewers… unless they do not get enough attention or you allow them to get bored. They are intelligent dogs and they need toys, attention and stimulation. Most counties require you to license your dog and California State law requires you to vaccinate your dog for rabies and requires you put identification on your dog at all times. County license tags enable people to return your dog to you should they become lost. Licensing also supports your local Animal Services Organization and helps save lives. I also highly recommend that you spay or neuter your pet once they reach one year of age. Quality pups. Happy families. Contact goldendog52 yahoo. No cost to be put on waiting list. Contact Us.

The above mentioned actions are indicative of a professional breeding program. However, we do all these things because our dogs are our life and we love them. We had to say good bye to our family and friends in North Carolina due to Hurricane Florence. Nothing like a hurricane and coast to coast interstate move to spice up life post military service. Despite all these life changing events; our beautiful Goldens have been blessed with the completion of several AKC Champion titles. We are both originally from California; relocating to San Luis Obispo County has allowed us to reconnect with family and friends from the West coast. We are now located in Coastal California, and look forward to building new connections with new friends from the NorCal Kennel Club and others in San Luis Obispo area who love Goldens and other four legged friends.

Why do you think the police force and military are using the German Shepherd so much? Sure, a Doberman can do the job just fine and there are definitely dog breeds that have stronger olfactory senses or stronger bites but they may not be willing to obey every command in every situation. They are too intelligent to outright obey everything which can sometimes be perceived as stubborn. Does that mean the German Shepherd is not smart? Absolutely not. In fact, the German Shepherd is often cited as one of the smartest dog breeds, right after their cousin the Belgian Shepherd, also known as Malinois. Their will to please outranks. How trainable is the German Shepherd Husky mix? Well, the Husky is known to be quite independent by design. So even though pairing these two very smart dog breeds makes sense at first glance, a Shepherd Husky mix might not be as easy to train as imagined. That being said, pairing a German Shepherd with a more agreeable Husky can certainly help. Genetics and temperament of the parents always play a pretty big role. This is not always the case and even a purebred may struggle with protection without proper direction and training. Always consult a professional to avoid teaching your dog negative behavior patterns barking at strangers on walks, lunging at dogs, and so on. Huskies are incredibly enduring. How could they not, they were bred to run hundreds of miles in very cold climates. But their original working purpose was quite specific and they may need to have an outlet for this desire to run. Training your dog early on will prevent behavioral issues in the future and gets your dog used to brain training. Since both breeds are relatively high energy, you need to walk your Shepsky at least twice a day for a minimum of minutes each. The German Shepherd is known to be a formidable family dog while the Husky can be quite reserved. Huskies are used to living and working in a pack and can be very sociable animals while Shepherds develop a deep bond with their owners. Although pairing these two breeds can produce great family dogs, there are other large dog breeds that are even suitable for apartment living out there that are very patient with children and also perfect for guarding property. Expect to have a very smart dog that will challenge you throughout the day. He will probably grow into a medium to large-sized dog with a weight of about 40 to 80 pounds. Both dogs are working breeds so you can expect a Shepsky to have high exercise needs. A task or daily job would keep them the happiest. Grooming Both dog breeds can have relatively similar coat types. Huskies have a thick double coat, meaning an undercoat plus guard hair. While the undercoat is soft and dense, the guard hairs are straight and somewhat smooth. Depending on the specific pairing, the coat can be a toin coss. Be ready for shedding seasons with both of these dogs. You can expect your male German Shepherd Husky mix to be in cm with a weight of lbs kg. Female German Shepherd Husky mixes range from in cm , weighing in at lbs kg. Apartment Living Can you live in an apartment with a high-energy dog like the German Shepherd Husky mix? It depends. If you provide your dog with an outlet for his exercise needs which means lots of walks, play, and training then there should be absolutely no problem. However, their tendency for high-pitched barks or howling may cause problems with your neighbors. Proper training will help and entails teaching your dog the quiet command. Would I advise you to buy a mixed breed from a breeder? Definitely not. There are far too many mixed breeds sitting in shelters and waiting to be chosen. As long as there are no health issues present in their ancestry, you could argue that mixed breeds might be healthier than purebreds from backyard breeders. Beware of backyard breeders mixing in a third breed without stating so. Make sure to check out my breeder questions before you fall victim to scammers or backyard breeders.

Post navigation. Salt and pepper Light brown or golden Her coat is usually thick and fluffy, with long, short, dense or medium fur. Perfect to cuddle up to on a cold night! Both parents have double coats, which helped them work in cold weather, and the German Shepherd Husky Mix has this dual layer, too. This means they are better living in cold climates. So if you are thinking of getting one of these dogs and you live in a place where it reaches high temperatures, this is not the dog for you! The Gerberian Shepsky is a moderate shedder and, as its coat is thick and fluffy, it is prone to matting. I advise brushing 2 -3 times a week to keep her double coat shiny and tangle-free. German Shepherds were bred to herd livestock and are now often used as police and military dogs; in these roles, they work closely with their owners and are able to learn commands quickly. The Siberian Husky is also a working dog that was trained to pull loads over long distances in the Arctic wilderness. This mix results in an alert dog who is quick to learn. She will respond well to whistles and verbal commands after just a few repetitions, which makes her easily trainable. This dog does well in dog agility, a great way for intelligent, high-energy dogs to expel energy and exercise their mind. A warning, though: this breed can be a bit obstinate. She may not obey if she senses that you are not a strong leader. Look how quickly this young dog already handles all types off commands: 3. If you are a couch potato, or you struggle to walk for more than an hour, this is not the dog for you. Like its parents, this dog can go for miles without tiring. They are perfect exercise companions and should be taken out twice a day, preferably for an hour or more each time. These dogs love to run, so you should take her to an area where she can go off leash providing she is trained. You can also teach her to jog or run alongside you. In large breed dogs like this one, their plates usually set at around 12 months , so it is best to wait until 12 — 15 months before starting more vigorous exercise. You should talk to your veterinarian to get the okay before starting any exercise program. I repeat: this dog is only for active, sporty types! Given their size and energy levels, I would only recommend this dog to someone with a house and spacious yard. She likes to be employed As well as physical exercise, these dogs like to fulfill the task they were bred for: doing a job. You should stimulate this need in her to avoid her becoming frustrated. You can fit her with a specially designed doggie backpack , which holds water and supplies and even your cell phone! Not to mention that it helps her burn off more of that pent-up energy. Like their German Shepherd parent, whose job was to keep watch over the herd, they are natural protectors. This can sometimes develop into overprotectiveness and territorial behavior, however, and may lead to displays of aggression towards strangers. It is imperative that you keep this under control through socializing your dog: make sure your puppy is used to being around as many people as possible from a very young age. You should get her a few toys she can play with at home like squeaky toys and tug toys. Try to socialize her with other puppies too — you could join a puppy training class and make connections, then get your puppies together for a play date! Potential health conditions Crossbreeds are generally healthier than purebred dogs. However, this dog could be prone to some health conditions that can occur in its parents. There are two main health problems, including: Elbow and hip dysplasia This is a condition that results in an unstable or loose joint. This can be helped by maintaining a healthy weight in your dog, so as not to put stress on her joints. Eye conditions Juvenile cataracts: These may not start until 6 years old. They appear as opacity in the lens of the eye and can cause a slight decrease in eyesight to complete blindness in more severe cases. Corneal dystrophy: This condition, in which abnormal material accumulates in the clear, outer layer of the eye the cornea , can cause visual impairment. It tends to affect both eyes and develops slowly. Progressive retinal atrophy: This can occur in later life and can lead to partial or complete blindness. Early symptoms can show as night blindness, dilated pupils and the inability to see clearly in bright light. Unfortunately, this condition is inherited, and it cannot be cured. If diagnosed early, however, there is a chance of saving the dog from going completely blind by using specific antioxidant supplementation. Other health problems can include digestive problems, blood disorders, bloat, and epilepsy. Feeding your Gerberian Shepsky who can be a little bit fussy As they are highly active dogs, the German Shepherd Husky Mix more often than not has a healthy appetite and requires a protein-rich diet. Bear in mind, though, that these critters can be fussy eaters! Try to find a brand that appeals to your dog, whether it is one in particular or a combination. Once you do, stick with what she likes. Given that these dogs are prone to digestive problems, it may mean some trial and error when trying to find the best dog food for her. Conclusion When it comes to genetics, Gerberian Shepskies got the good end of the deal. They are beautiful, intelligent, loyal, playful and easy to train, as long as you are a firm leader. Just remember, if you are thinking of getting one of these hybrids, you should be an active, outdoorsy person who is comfortable walking for at least 2 hours a day and has a house with a spacious yard. Thinking of getting a Gerberian Shepsky? Already the owner of one and want to share your story? Comment below! About Alexandra Animalso I was raised to be a dog person. My first Shepherd grew up as I did and wanted to be where I was at all times. I got my second dog as a 16th birthday present, and her loyalty for me was just as strong as my first. I hope that my contribution to Animalso will help others find dogs who give them that same unconditional love. Each litter typically produces adorably fluffy puppies, each of which may look different. Some will inherit heterochromia — or different colored eyes — from their Husky parent, while others will receive the longer snout of their German Shepherd parent. History: Emergence of the Gerberian Shepsky To understand this active and loving mixed breed, we must first understand purebred Huskys and German Shepherds. As we mentioned, the German Shepherd is known as a herding dog. They were developed in for herding and guarding sheep in Germany. The Husky is a working dog, first bred over years ago in Siberia. They arrived in Alaska in where they ran hard as sledding dogs and stole the hearts of locals with their goofy personalities. No formal records document the first hybrid litter of Gerberian Huskys. In general, the German Shepherd Husky Mix has an ideal temperament. They get their friendly, silly, and gentle qualities from the Husky side, while they receive loyalty and bravery from their Shepherd side. While Huskies never meet a stranger, shepherds are standoffish. The combination leads to a perfect balance. Once grown, your Gerberian Shepky will protect you, and guard your family from anything- all while providing love, cuddles and plenty of adorable moments to last a lifetime! They are great around children, and when socialized from a young age, can live well with other animals. The German Shepherd Husky mixed breed is incredibly intelligent will learn quickly when trained appropriately. Huskies can be stubborn and become bored easily, while the German Shepherd loves to learn new things and have a job to do. If your puppy is more Husky, he may prefer hours of running, rather than mental stimulation. For example, hold out a toy or treat and let your pup catch a whiff. Then, hide the object and let your pup sniff it out. Get creative with your training and bond with your puppy to find what works for you! Be sure to keep your Gerberian Shepsky well exercised and mentally stimulated to avoid developing unwanted negative behaviors like barking, howling a husky favorite , and chewing. Calorie requirements differ based on age, weight, activity level, and sex. For example, a quickly growing puppy requires more calories than an adult Shepsky and should eat food specifically formulated for puppies. In contrast, active adult German Shepherd Husky mixes require about calories, while less active and senior dogs only require calories per day. A high quality food, formulated for large breeds is best. Remember to account for special treats in daily caloric needs! Get the whole family together for a walk or run. Continuously switch up the route so your Shepsky never gets bored. Other recommendations include providing at least 2 hours a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity. German Shepherd Husky mixes do best in an environment where they can play, run, and roam. Your new pet will be most content when able to participate in interactive activities like obstacle courses and challenging puzzles. With lots of love and attention, your Gerberian Shepsky will settle into a nice routine of work and play. Be sure to snuggle up for plenty of cuddles at the end of a long day! Shepsky Health Considerations Like their purebred parents, German Shepherd Husky mixes may suffer from certain health issues due to their genes. When you purchase a puppy, your breeder should be happy to provide a detailed health screening of the parents. Joint Dysplasia causes the elbows and hips to develop abnormally, leading to pain and eventual loss of movement if left untreated. If caught early, the condition can be treated successfully with medication or corrective surgery. Cataracts, inherited from the Husky parent, are issues with the lens of the eye that will lead to decreased vision over time. If left untreated, your Gerberian Shepsky may become disoriented, confused, and even aggressive as he loses his ability to process his surroundings. Again, if caught early, this disease can be treated with medication or surgery. This condition causes the stomach to swell and twist around it self. The risk is passed on to your Shepsky and great care must be taken to avoid it! Simply remain attentive to how much and how often your pup is eating and you should be safe. And, much like a wolf, the Shepsky mix possesses a strong snout and piercing eyes. They may even have two different colored eyes! Puppies with heterochromia are highly coveted and will cost more. But they are worth it — so gorgeous and unique! Just like the eyes, Gerberian Shepsky coats may be a variety of colors based on which parent they most closely resemble. Common colors include white, gray, silver, tan, red, and the classic German Shepherd coat color — Sable! Because the Husky originated as a sled dog, their coats are adapted for the cold climates of Siberia and Alaska. However, they are double coated and may shed one coat to accommodate warm temperatures. Your Shepsky will also have a double coat that requires twice weekly brushing sessions to promote proper shedding and skin health. Additionally, frequent full bathes are harmful to your German Sherpherd Husky mixes natural oils. This can lead to irritation and dry, itchy skin. Instead, only bath them when necessary with a gentle shampoo. Simply spot clean in between with a damp cloth, and use a non-toxic deodorizing spray if necessary! We've included some summary facts and stats below to help you make your decision. Do you think this gorgeous, regal looking dog is right for your family? Yet, cuddly, friendly, and adorable! So what do you think? Your vet can help you develop a care routine that will keep your dog healthy. Shepskies are prone to weight gain, and they have high energy levels. One hour of exercise per day is a good starting point. They need dog parks and wide open spaces. Check their ears for debris and pests daily and clean them as recommended by your vet. They should not be clicking against the floor. Your groomer can help with this. You should brush their teeth daily, as many breeds are prone to dental issues. Shepsky Feeding A Shepsky diet should be formulated for a medium sized breed with high energy and exercise needs. You should consult your veterinarian or professional nutritionist for advice on what to feed your Shepsky and the correct portion sizes. Their dietary needs will change as they grow from puppyhood to adulthood and senior age. Stay on top of these nutritional requirements. Their German Shepherd parents grow very rapidly between the ages of four and seven months, making them susceptible to bone disorders. They do well on a high-quality, low-calorie diet that keeps them from growing too fast. Overfeeding your Shepsky and letting them pack on the pounds can cause joint problems, as well as other health conditions. Limit treats, keep them active, and serve them regular meals rather than leaving food available at all times. The main colors of Shepskies are brown, black, cream, white, red, and blue. Almost never solid, their coats are generally a mixture of two or more colors. They tend to shed quite a bit and you may need to pick up a RoboVac. These pups will require a few good brushes per week. Brushing will also help to spread the oils throughout the coat. These pups are well suited for cold weather. Their Siberian Husky parentage is straight from Russia, which is about as cold as it gets. Always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party. No dog should ever be left unsupervised with a child. The Shepsky is part pack dog and should be socialized early on. Introducing an adult Shepsky to a household with other pets can be more difficult if the German Shepherd parentage personality prevails and may require more work and professional trainers. Find out if this is the right dog for you by learning about their German Shepherd and Siberian Husky parents.

German Shepherd and Husky Mix Training Suggestions A fairly intelligent breed interested in learning and in caring for their owner, a German Shepherd and Husky Mix is relatively easy to train. Not properly trained, these dogs can acquire habits that make the owners clench their teeth pull their hair out. From howling too much to knocking things over to chewing on shoes, there are many things you must keep your dog from doing. A German Shepherd and Husky Mix is very sensitive to vocal commands, making the training process more efficient and much easier. Start obedience training at an early age to prevent annoying habits from developing, and so that you and your pup both can live a happy life together. However, it has a predatory nature, and without proper socialization or training, it might get inro trouble with rodent-type pets or even cats. They can also be extremely overprotective of children and other members of the family.

Getting a dog with a Siberian Husky or a German Shepherd descent can break the bank for many first-time owners. Lucky for them, the Siberian Husky German Shepherd is a relatively affordable dog. Be warned, though. Proper breeding costs a lot of money when it comes to veterinary care, health screening, vaccinations, flea treatments, deworming, and many other procedures to ensure that the puppy is healthy. While herding dogs were being bred in Germany throughout the 19th century, the first formally recognized German Shepherd was registered by Max von Stephanitz in .The dog, named Horand von Grafrath, was the result of several generations of selective breeding to create a working dog ideal for herding sheep. The German Shepherd has a very forceful bite, and they are often mischaracterized as aggressive and likely to harm humans. However, while German Shepherds are responsible for a large number of canine attacks on humans, this is largely due to their popularity as pets and how abundant they are rather than any natural, breed-specific aggression. German Shepherds are actually considered great family pets, and they are known to be very good with children, though they can also be somewhat overprotective. .The Siberian Husky, in contrast, comes from Northeastern Asia where they were bred by the Chukchi people of Siberia to pull sleds. The result is an active breed with a lot of endurance that just loves to run. These dogs do very well in cold climates, and they were introduced to Alaska around as part of the Alaskan Nome Gold Rush. While you will still find these dogs working in some frozen terrains, they are now popular household pets. While they are energetic, friendly, and excellent with children, they are also troublemakers if not trained and socialized properly. They enjoy digging, chewing, jumping, and generally escaping any kind of confined space. Both dogs are of a similar size and have a wolf-like appearance, which is part of what made them prime candidates for crossbreeding. What Are Crossbred Dogs? It is worth noting that crossbred dogs, sometimes called designer dogs, are dogs that have been intentionally bred by mixing two or more recognized breeds. It is not a term for dogs bred accidentally or without purebred ancestors. However, crossbred dogs are not recognized as separate breeds in their own right, so their behavior and characteristics are not as predictable as purebred dogs. One of the advantages of purebred dogs is that it is relatively easy to predict their size, appearance, and temperament. Gerberian Shepsky Appearance As both German Shepherds and Siberian Huskies are medium-sized dogs with a wolf-like appearance, you can expect similar traits from their offspring. German Shepherds tend to be considered medium-to-large-sized dogs. Males typically measure 24 to 26 inches in height at the withers, and the females are usually a bit smaller at 22 to 24 inches. However, both sexes tend to look bigger than other dogs of a similar height, as they have very long necks. Siberian Huskies are a bit smaller, measuring between 19 and 24 inches and weighing between 35 and 60 pounds on average. The females are at the smaller end of the spectrum, and the males are at the larger end. As a result, you can expect Shepskies to be around the smaller range for German Shepherds, with males ranging from 22 to 25 inches and females ranging from 20 to 24 inches in height. When it comes to their weight, males tend to be between 50 to 80 pounds, while females weigh a bit less at 40 to 70 pounds. Shepsky puppies tend to have a distinctive wolf-like appearance, with pointed ears and long noses inherited from both parents. Their eyes will either be brown or blue, and some individuals might have the distinctive dual eye color often associated with huskies. Both parent breeds have a coat ideal for colder climates, so this is something that can be expected from their offspring. They typically have a dual coat with a dense, soft undercoat and another layer of more durable guard hairs on top. As German Shepherds can have either medium-to-long outer coats, the same is true of their Gerberian Shepsky offspring. They are almost never one solid color and will almost always be a mix of at least two different colors. One thing you can expect from all Shepsky coats is that they will be high shedding. Anyone with an allergy to dog hair should be wary about adopting a Shepsky! Gerberian Shepsky Temperament German Shepherds are highly intelligent dogs, and they are also highly motivated to please, which makes them one of the most trainable dog breeds out there. This quality is also why they are such good working dogs. Siberian Huskies are also very intelligent, but they are far more independent. They have been bred to make challenging decisions while running across dangerous arctic territories, so problem-solving is a necessary skill. As a result, while your Shepsky will almost certainly be a very intelligent dog, they might be a bit more troublesome to train than a German Shepherd. Alternatively, they might choose to entertain themselves by digging or chewing. Both breeds were created to spend a lot of time with humans, with Huskies often staying indoors with their families for warmth. This means they tend to bond quickly with their people and are very good with smaller family members though very small children should never be left unsupervised with any dog. While German Shepherds tend to have guard dog-like protective instincts, Huskies are pack animals and enjoy the company of other dogs. So, it is difficult to predict whether your Shepsky crossbreed will display more alpha-like behavior or be more submissive and play well with other pets. Remember, proper socialization training can go a long way when it comes to ensuring that they play well with others regardless of their temperament. Neither parent breed tends to bark excessively, but your Shepsky will get vocal if they want to alert you to a threat. Huskies tend to howl rather than bark, so keep in mind you might end up with a Shepsky with an adorable howl that may disturb the neighbors. If you do find yourself with a barker, read our guide on dealing with excessive or nuisance barking. Overall, expect your dog to be high energy, combining the herding instinct of a German Shepherd with the running mandate of a Siberian Husky. Caring For A German Shepherd Husky Mix Shepskies tend to be highly trainable, so an experienced dog owner should be able to train them at home using basic positive reinforcement training. Shepskies do best when they have a large backyard where they can spend their energy. Remember, they can be escape artists, which means they need a space that is securely fenced. Fences at least six feet tall are recommended. In addition to having plenty of space, Shepskies need a lot of exercise. They should be taken outside at least twice a day for a minimum of minutes at a time. Dog parks where they can run around off-leash are ideal, as it lets them stretch their legs and burn off excess energy. Just make sure they have been properly socialized before letting them loose. They are not ideal pets for people who spend most of the week in the office or traveling for work. Expect your Shepsky to engage in destructive behavior when they are feeling the stress of abandonment. Shepskies tend to have fairly dry coats. Huskies do not have oily coats, and they will often pass this trait down to their crossbred children. Avoid excessive washing to prevent drying them out further. Regular brushing is advisable to remove shedding hair, since these dogs tend to shed a lot. This is both for their comfort and to make cleanup around the home a little more manageable for you. Shepsky Health Concerns Shepskies have a relatively long lifespan for dogs of their size, and you can expect them to live for around 10 to 14 years. Shepskies can develop joint conditions, particularly in their elbows and hips, which can lead to pain and discomfort moving as they age. Adequate exercise and an orthopedic bed that allows them to take the pressure off their joints are both useful tools in preventing these issues. This unique crossbreed can also be prone to developing eye conditions such as canine glaucoma, corneal dystrophy, juvenile cataracts, and progressive retinal atrophy. Losing at least some of their eyesight in later life is a common concern. German Shepherd Husky mixes are also slightly more susceptible to developing epilepsy than most other breeds, though the condition is still relatively rare. Medications exist to help manage this condition. This can be prevented with regular cleaning and maintenance. You might be able to find a Gerberian Shepsky in a local shelter to adopt for a small fee, or you can opt to find a dedicated Shepsky breeder. Do Gerberian Shepskies shed a lot? Yes, German Shepherd Husky mixes shed a lot, and there is no getting around it. Both parent breeds have a thick winter coat that is prone to shedding, so this is a common characteristic in their offspring. If you are looking for a medium-sized low shedding dog, consider something with the Poodle breed in the mix, such as a Labradoodle or Goldendoodle. Poodles have a low-shedding coat that they typically pass on to their crossbred offspring. Do German Shepherd Husky mixes smell? Many Huskies pass on their low-oil coat to their crossbred offspring. If you do adopt a Shepsky, remember not to bathe your dog too regularly. The lack of oil can make them prone to having dry skin, and excessive washing can exacerbate this problem. Do Shepskies get cold? Siberian Huskies were bred to deal with extreme cold, and German Shepherds also have a thick coat to deal with colder temperatures. This means their offspring are very well insulated against the cold, and you will almost never have to worry about them being uncomfortable in colder temperatures. Overheating, however, can be an issue, so always carry water when you go out. You will probably find that your Shepsky prefers to relax in cool, shady areas. What is an Alusky? This is a very popular designer breed, as they often have distinctive black and white patterning as well as an overall wolf-like appearance. What dog breeds are commonly mixed with Huskies? As well as German Shepherds, you will find a number of other dog breeds that make a good mix with a Husky. The Verdict On Shepskies If you are looking for a fun and energetic dog that will make a great addition to a boisterous and adventurous family, then a German Shepherd Husky mix can be a great choice. Shepskies are very family-friendly pets that are loyal and highly trainable, but they also need lots of love and attention to keep them healthy and happy. They have a distinctive wolf-like appearance, but are far from aggressive and are generally very good with children. However, they are known for their delightful wolf-like howl. Remember that crossbreed dogs are always somewhat unpredictable in their appearance and temperament, so ensure that you meet the dog you plan on adopting first before deciding whether to add them to your family. Shepskies are best for people who have quite a bit of space for their dog to play and usually have someone to keep them company at home. You will enjoy training your Shepsky yourself if you have a bit of experience with dogs, but steer clear if you have allergies, as they are big shedders!

The last thing you want to do is put a puppy in a home that isn't ready to take care of it. A puppy will need to be housebroken, trained , and exercised. If you plan to buy a puppy for a child, be sure to speak to their parents. Are you okay with grooming it regularly? Do you have enough space for a big dog or would a small or medium dog work best?

Gifting a new puppy to your loved one during Christmas is sure to make them happy and you can make the event even more enjoyable by planning it as a surprise! The puppy is soon to win them over with lots of wet kisses and cuddles and it will be the beginning of a meaningful relationship. Here are some cute ways in which you can surprise your family or a loved one with a puppy at Christmas. Delaying the Surprise Yes, the best way of making the surprise even better is to delay it. There might be several occasions when your friend or a family member has gone looking for puppies at pet stores. When this happens again, tell them why taking a puppy is a bad idea at that moment. Being familiar with the person will help you come with all the reasons why they might not want a puppy, like anyone to take care of it when they are out for work. They are going to be immensely disappointed at first and you have to deal with this phase. However, tell the caretaker of the puppy secretly that you are interested, and then go back alone to get it right before Christmas. The surprise and joy on their faces when they finally lay eyes on the puppy will be worth all this effort. Puppy in Gift Wrapping While this might seem like a clich to many, there is a reason why this is done so many times. Putting the puppy in a present box never fails to make an impact. This works best as a Christmas present, as you put the puppy inside a box and place it under the Christmas. Wrap the box in pretty paper with a bow on top! Of course, you have to careful while placing the puppy inside the box or basket. Make sure you put the puppy just minutes before you are about the spring the surprise. However, a typical puppy can still make cute noises from the moment they are put inside the box, so you could put in a treat or two with him, or a toy to keep him quiet. Even if he does make some sounds, it still makes for a great surprise as everyone is startled by puppy noises in the room. Make sure you leave a gap in the box for ventilation. Surprise Visit You can make the puppy the star of your Christmas dinner! Gather everyone around for the grand Christmas meal and make everyone is in the same room while they are eating. Confide in a friend and let him slip the puppy into the room. Everyone is sure to be caught off guard when they see a puppy exploring the room all by himself. There are going to be frantic inquiries while some will leave their seats to cuddle the little bundle of joy. After the puppy has managed to surprise everyone, introduce it to the family. This surprise always works the best with children because not knowing that the puppy is already a part of the family, they will insist on keeping the puppy that has just walked in. Tell them they cannot, and you have to return the puppy to whoever it belongs- maybe a neighbor. Then, when you finally tell them the truth, they are most likely to shed tears of joy. Treasure Hunts Can there be a treasure hunt better than the one which involves a puppy? Surely not. Organize a treasure hunt for Christmas and leave clues around the house for everyone, telling them this is how they find their gifts. In the meantime, hide the puppy in a well-ventilated basket and place it in a safe corner of the house. As the clues lead your family towards that spot, they are sure to be intrigued by that basket, which in all probability, will also be swaying a little. Tell them to open it and the boundless joy on the faces as they greet the new puppy is going to be the best Christmas gift for you ever. Car Surprise With all your Christmas shopping just about over, ask your family to help you with all the bags that you have in the car. Tell them to open the car door carefully, because you have some very precious shopping inside. As they open the car door, Tada! There is the puppy, sitting snug on the backseat, looking all pretty with a bow! This surprise is sure to bring all your neighbors to your driveway because of course your family would be screaming in joy! With a car surprise, remember to keep the windows down when the puppy is inside by a couple of inches. However, the doors should be locked so that they do not accidentally open while you are telling your family to get the bags. You should also avoid doing this if it is very hot or very cold. Some Christmases can be freezing, so you could consider leaving your car heater on. But overall, do not leave the puppy inside alone for more than a few minutes. You could also confide in a friend to hold the puppy if it is very small or is particularly restless. With these ideas, you are sure to surprise your family in a novel way. While there is no dearth of gifts on the shop shelves for the festive season, a puppy will bring your family way more joy than you could have ever imagined. It will be your best Christmas ever. Recent Posts. A Perfect Gift? Liz Bales 0 Most of my favorite Christmas commercials include a fluffy Golden Retriever popping out of a wrapped box and into the arms of a child squealing with delight. As a veterinarian, I want you to know that no puppy wants to be put into a box and that the reality of this situation is rarely shown in the commercial. This picture-perfect moment comes with a lifetime of care, cost, and commitment that requires a lot of careful thought and planning. Here are my top 6 tips for anyone planning to give a Christmas puppy present. Next, you can spend your holiday engaging your loved ones in the planning, preparing and dreaming of your new family member. If you go along with my plan, you will sacrifice the 5 minutes of unequaled dreamed of bliss when you present the puppy with the red ribbon around her neck. This delayed gratification will pay off in unimaginable ways. Your new dog will begin adapting to the home that you bring it into right away. The reality of the Christmas season is that your house is chaotic, full of unsupervised food on coffee tables and countertops, unusual objects to chew and destroy, and danger and annoyance around every corner. And, you and your family are overextended, exhausted and off of your normal routine. Christmas might be the worst possible time to bring a new dog into your house. Responsible breeders know all of this and very often will not time the breeding of their dogs to coincide with going home for Christmas. The puppies available at Christmas time are more likely to come from people more motivated by easy cash than by breeding quality puppies. So many times we choose a dog that we like to look at and give no thought to what it is like to live with that dog. Hop online and search the behavior traits of your favorite breeds. For instance, a French Bulldog will not make a good running companion and an Australian Shepard is unlikely to be happy left home alone if you work long hours. You want your new family member to be happy in the home and lifestyle that it is reasonable for you to provide. Shelters are often overflowing with dogs after the holidays. An older, housebroken dog might suit your family better than a puppy. And, the shelter staff has spent time with the dogs and may have a good idea of what dog would be a good fit for your family. Plan to take your new dog to the veterinarian before you step foot in your house. Puppies can have congenital birth defects and health problems that can be expensive or impossible to fix. Most puppies come with a health guarantee that will allow you to return the dog for a refund if there is a problem. You will begin to fall in love with your new dog instantly, so it is better to know what you are up against while you can still think straight. Your vet can also diagnose and treat fleas and other parasites before you bring them home to your kids and other pets. You will have a happier and healthier dog if they are properly socialized as a puppy. Ask your veterinarian for references to a puppy kindergarten class. There, your puppy will be socialized to other dogs in a controlled environment and you will begin to learn how to communicate with your dog to begin a positive training process. Training should revolve around positive reinforcement. There is an abundance of research that positive reinforcement training works better than any other method. Training your puppy should never involve scaring or hurting your dog. Stay away from prong collars, choke chains, shock collars and physical punishment of any kind. Ask your friends and your veterinarian for their recommendations. There will never be a cheaper time to get insurance, as they will not cover any pre-existing conditions. As your dog ages, you are likely to face expensive medical conditions. With insurance, you can make decisions based on the best interest of your dog, and not based on limited funds. Wags and Purrs, Dr. Liz Bales, has only ever wanted to be a veterinarian. She has even started her own company, Doc and Phoebe, and invented a revolutionary cat product—the Indoor Hunting Feeder. At the head of the bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime.

German Shepherds are one of the most popular breeds of dog in the country. They are renowned for their strength, agility, and fierceness, as well as their ability to protect their families. The best age to buy a German Shepherd puppy is around seven to eight weeks. This ensures that the pup is not taken from its mother too early, but still has enough time to integrate into being a part of your family. Read on for more tips on when the best age is to bring home your new German Shepherd pup. If you try to adopt or purchase a German Shepherd puppy earlier than seven weeks, you will likely encounter several problems. The first of these problems is like the legality of purchasing a dog at such a young age. The District of Columbia is the only state or district in the country that allows puppies to be sold at the age of six weeks. The second problem that you will likely encounter if you try to buy a German Shepherd puppy earlier than that seven-week mark is a lack of puppy socialization. The American Kennel Club states that puppies begin their socialization period at the age of six weeks , while an article from Psychology Today written with help from a prestigious dog breeder suggests that socialization begins even earlier — as early as three weeks old in some breeds. This socialization period is important because it allows puppies to learn essential behaviors from the other puppies in their litter as well as from their mother. When puppies begin to play and bite with their siblings and their mother, they will learn that these behaviors are not okay because their family members will bite at them or bark, which will teach the puppy that those behaviors are not okay. If your puppy is rehomed too young, they will miss out on these important lessons and will be disobedient. While the puppy will have to be separated from its mother, eventually, this process should not be allowed to happen too early. If pups are taken away from their mother too young, they will suffer from behavioral issues that are deeper than just poor socialization. Due to factors such as lack of maternal soothing, premature weaning, and separation anxiety, puppies who are removed from their mothers too early are prone to fear and aggression. In a study conducted in the journal Veterinary Record as quoted in the Psychology Today article , it was determined that pups who were taken from their mothers before the age of 40 days around 5. Finding the right timing to bring home a German Shepherd puppy can be tricky. There are a few factors that make it difficult to properly raise a German Shepherd puppy if you bring it home after that eight-week mark. The reason that people buy puppies so young is that they want their dog to be able to become a well-socialized part of the family unit. The second reason you should get a German Shepherd puppy before it passes eight weeks old is that it makes obedience and work training much easier to accomplish. They will need to be able to perform commands and tasks through nudges, picking up items with their mouths, and calling for help or assistance in order to help their owner. This is why training organizations teach puppies as young as possible so they can be competent service animals for people with disabilities. German Shepherds can easily be trained as seeing-eye dogs as well as animals that help people with epilepsy or neurological disorders. The author of the Psychology Today article believes that if puppies are left in the litter for too long, they will begin to build a sort of hierarchy or to peck order among themselves. Because German Shepherds have that reputation for aggressive behavior, you want to mitigate this potential as quickly as possible. Summary The best age to adopt a German Shepherd puppy is between the ages of seven and eight weeks old. This is the age suggested by the American Kennel Club as well as psychological researchers. It is also illegal in most areas of the country to rehome a puppy before the age of seven weeks, save for the District of Columbia. No breeder should be selling a puppy younger than six weeks old. At the same time, you should not let the puppy remain with its litter after the age of eight weeks to avoid aggression and to make training easier. Checklist Dog Crate Getting a crate for your German Shepherd puppy is quite crucial for the following reasons: Allows the puppy to feel secure Speeds up potty training Keeps the puppy safe by controlling his environment Conditions your dog should you need to travel and use a travel crate Some people erroneously feel guilty for crating their pup. However, dogs need structure, especially when bred from work-driven breeds like German Shepherds. A dog crate provides a sense of security by reducing the space around the pet. A room might be small enough for us, but placing the puppy in it will make him feel like he is in a large vacant warehouse. The necessity of getting a dog crate brings up the question of size. What size crate is best for a new GSD puppy? Read my post on the recommended German Shepherd crate size to find out the best size to buy and why. Opt for the size inch variety. You can move the divider to make more room as your puppy grows. I draped a dark-colored blanket over the top to make it more den-like. She was around three years old when I finally got rid of it, but some dogs enjoy them for life. As German Shepherds are prone to hip dysplasia, arthritis, and other joint issues, you should invest in a good crate pad. Dog Bed You might think getting a crate is the same as getting a bed. Some crates come with a matt or pad disguised as a puppy bed. Since German Shepherds are big dogs and do not take much time to grow to their full size, you will need an orthopedic dog bed to support their weight and protect their joints. My post on the best orthopedic dog beds for German Shepherds elaborates on the pros and cons of different dog beds. The gist is that you need a bed to prevent joint pain that bigger dogs experience. German Shepherds are prone to arthritis, and though a genetic element plays a role, bad crating practices can accelerate such problems. I chose the Big Barker because of the scientific evidence that it improves joint pain and stiffness in arthritic dogs, enhancing their quality of life. This means a lot to me as my German Shepherd was diagnosed with spinal osteoarthritis at only six years old, but it helps knowing she sleeps comfortably. I have to admit — I was also attracted to their year no-flatten guarantee. You can check out my full review of the Big Barker here. Novice dog masters also make things difficult through a combination of poor choices. Then they make the situation worse by opting for a collar and using tugging as a means of discipline. This is cruel to the dog and teaches him nothing. It is a front-clip harness, meaning you lead your pup from the front, which gives greater control and steering, making it impossible for your dog to pull. A fellow dog owner designed it, and it has all the love and care one would expect from an owner who is solving a problem he has previously faced — a dog that pulled. You can also learn more about my pick of the best no-pull harnesses for German Shepherds in this article. Toys German Shepherds are full of energy, which means they have to be surrounded by things that can exhaust their excess vitality, such as a range of chew toys, tug toys, and puzzle toys. These will stimulate his teeth, muscles, and mind, respectively. Toys help your new German Shepherd develop and stay entertained. You can also use toys to train a German Shepherd to find things and track, but that comes later. For now, you must make sure you get him a large selection of puppy toys. Your new best friend needs different exercise routines and changes in the environment, both of which can be normalized via travel. A car restraint allows you to secure your German Shepherd puppy in a car seat safely. Using a dog crate as recommended above will make it easy to communicate that car rides are okay. I like the Petmate Vari Dog Kennel because it comes in various sizes, and for the first few months, you might prefer a smaller crate. This model is made from premium plastic, does not require any tools to set it up, and has lots of vents to keep your pup well-ventilated. Poo Bags Your new German Shepherd puppy is going to be the cutest thing on earth up until he has to poop. At that time, how much you like having a GSD will be strongly correlated with how close you are to a poo bag. Regardless of whether you buy a pack of poop bags or accumulate enough disposable bags to cover a month of dog poop, you need to have something to carry dog waste.

You might find yourself constantly staring at the beautiful yet timid puppy, and it will take a couple of weeks for the puppy to feel at home. Until then, the dog will be open to cuddles and start interacting with the person who feeds him and plays with him. Make sure he spends time inside the crate as well as outside it. The dog may seem shy and aloof for the bulk of the first week, with the first day being his most seemingly introverted one. The dog will miss his pack and call out for them with whining or whimpering sounds or even barking. You should make sure he feels safe and secure and only comfort him through the night when you take him for a toilet break. Your German Shepherd puppy will need comfort, and you can do a few things to help him feel better. Comfort the pup to make him feel secure. Feed the puppy and make sure he is warm. Turn the lights off and make sure he gets enough sleep. Your new German Shepherd needs to get used to a schedule, work on independence, and see you as the leading figure. One of the differences you will notice when your puppy is freshly released from the breeder is his excessive appetite for sleep. Some might want the puppy to wake up to cuddle. Others will wonder if it is healthy for the puppy to sleep so much. In general, a German Shepherd puppy should sleep 8 hours at night and hours during the day. Though, the dog should not be forced to fit a schedule and must be left to determine how he divides his hours of sleep in the first few weeks of adoption. Final Thoughts The arrival of a new German Shepherd puppy can be an exciting time, but excitement can also inspire nervousness. The puppy will feel less overwhelmed and scared after the first 3 days and will further settle during the first 3 weeks.

The new owners are very gentle with the puppy and simply talk softly to him and give him pats and toys as he gets settled in. Sadly, the Puppy Mill Project states there are more than 10, puppy mills operating just in the United States alone. Puppy mills keep breeding pairs of dogs in often horrific conditions and take the puppies away from their moms much too soon so they can breed another litter of puppies. The Humane Society states that there are some warning signs you can watch for to indicate you may be getting your puppy from an unethical breeder or even from a puppy mill: The breeder is willing to release the puppy to you at a very early age before the age of eight weeks. The breeder will not allow you to visit their kennel and see their operation or meet the parent dogs — they only sell at off-site locations or over the internet. Here again, this question is a topic of often intense debate between different breeders. As one canine biologist explains in Psychology Today , the very earliest any puppy should be allowed to leave the litter and go to their new home is 79 days seven weeks. But many other breeders feel that even seven weeks is too early, as the GSDCA article cited earlier here states. There are a variety of reasons why letting a puppy leave the litter sooner than seven to eight weeks is considered a bad idea. The puppy is still too little and fragile Some breeders believe a primary reason to keep puppies with the mom and littermates longer is that puppies are very little and easily injured. However, because the German Shepherd is a large breed dog and has a sturdier body to start with, some breeders may be apt to release GSD puppies closer to the eight week age range. In contrast, smaller and toy dog breeds that are very delicate may need a bit longer to grow up before going to their new home. The puppy needs to learn social skills Another common reason why many breeders feel that puppies should stay with their litters and mothers at least until they turn eight weeks old is that the puppy will learn important social skills. The best trainer for any German Shepherd puppy is typically going to be the mother dog. As well, GSD puppies will have the chance to play and learn from their littermates and get comfortable with having people around by watching their mother interact with the breeder. Some theories suggest that this initial period of dog-to-dog socialization needs to happen before the dog-to-people socialization so the puppy can learn to be a dog first and then to be a companion to humans next. This benefit is simply that the German Shepherd breeder is experienced working with this dog breed and can give your puppy some early expert training and socialization with people. The difference here would be bringing home a puppy that is already used to a collar and lead, puppy pads, and some initial potty training commands, playing with toys and being handled by people. The rehoming process is always going to be stressful enough on its own that you want to be sure your puppy has the most confidence possible before coming home with you. Set aside time to just be with your puppy Your puppy is going to be a bit nervous or even frightened at first — this is normal. Rehoming is a big change. You can make it easier by just carving out time to sit nearby, praising your puppy, offering pats, and talking softly. These guidelines can ensure that your new German Shepherd puppy feels at home right away living with you. Posted in Uncategorized. We are very excited to present them to the world and look forward to seeing them grow, develop, and move on to their loving forever homes. Puppies need to stay with the dog breeder for a little while after birth. During this time, they learn skills and socialize so they will be well-adjusted when they move away from the litter. Socialization Puppies should stay with the litter for about 8 to 12 weeks. Probably the main reason for this is socialization. When a puppy is with its litter and especially its mother, it learns valuable behaviors. A reputable dog breeder will never let a puppy leave before 7 weeks at the minimum. During this time, the pup will learn how to deal and live with other living things. In a sense, the dogs learn how to dog. Mostly they spend their time playing with their littermates. These are all skills that if developed well, they can use throughout their lives. They also learn how to communicate and receive commands from both their parents and humans. A dog that is not properly socialized will not be confident and may have difficulties fitting into new environments. They could be easily confused and fearful. Neither of these traits is good for both house dogs and dogs that are meant to work or show animals. Unsocialized dogs also tend to have more behavioral problems. They act out in situations in which they are not comfortable. This can mean chewing, barking, or even viciousness. Other dogs are the best trainers for a new pup, so keeping them with their littermates and parents will help them grow and develop into confident, well-behaved dogs. They are bred to be experts at detection, which is great for policing, and agility. While these traits are inbred and instinctual, they also need to be developed. These puppies are spending time with their mother and littermates, with whom their skills are already becoming apparent. The parental dogs provide a good example and play with siblings will mimic and develop these skills. The same goes for agility. There is no better training ground for a pup than an open space with their siblings. German Shepherd Puppies and Humans The fact is, the puppy will most likely be going from a place with many other puppies to a home with either none or comparatively very few. Most of the interactions throughout their lives will be with humans. Dog breeders are dog experts who will calmly and confidently help your puppy get used to human interaction in a safe and respectful way. A newborn puppy sent into a home without that buffer will be extremely stressed and have incredible difficulty adjusting. When it comes to adopting German Shepherd puppies, it is natural to be impatient. However, waiting just a few short weeks to have this beautiful and intelligent pet in your home will pay off down the road. A general rule of thumb is that a puppy can hold her bladder for approximately one hour for every month old they are.

When do German Shepherds start teething? Starting at 4 months old, German Shepherds will begin to lose their puppy teeth. But some puppies start losing their teeth earlier or later. You may discover a discarded tooth on the floor. Or you may see a few drops of blood on her chew toy. And it is not uncommon for a puppy to swallow her tooth, which is perfectly normal. When do German Shepherds get all their adult teeth? An adult German Shepherd should have 42 adult teeth. The small incisors in front usually come in first, followed by the big canines, the premolars and the molars. All adult teeth should be in place around months old. Puppies use their mouth to explore their environment, so nipping is very common. This behavior, called teething, can last until the puppy is 6 months old when all her adult teeth have started showing. German Shepherds grew into their full size between 18 months to 2 years old. But they are not considered adult dogs until they reach the age of 3 years old. If your pup is still young, one of the most effective ways to calm her down is to give her regular mental and physical exercise. The rule of thumb is that you should give a puppy 5 minutes of exercise for every month old they are. For example, a 4-month-old puppy would need 20 minutes of exercise. When do German Shepherds get their full coat? She will start the coat change on her face first. Then her fluffy puppy coat will be replaced by the smoother adult coat down her back, towards to trail and gradually down her sides. When do German Shepherds start shedding?

Other Than Vacuuming When should I bring my puppy for the first vet visit? You should bring your new puppy to see a veterinarian no later than 2 days after coming home. Some breeders require this within 48 hours as included in their sales contract. It is very important for your vet to examine your puppy to look for signs of disease.

A German Shepherd puppy should be wormed for the first time at 2 weeks of age, then at 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks old fortnightly until 12 weeks of age. After this, they can be wormed monthly until they are 12 months old. When do female German Shepherds go into the first heat? Female German Shepherds started their first heat as early as 7 months old, but this may vary from dog to dog. During that time, they may begin mounting other dogs or could become touchy or grumpy. There will be discharge and many owners use feminine pads and a diaper-type arrangement to keep the house clean. The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior AVSAB recommends that pet guardians begin taking puppies on walks and public outings as early as one week after their first round of vaccinations, at about 7 weeks old. Instead of going for a marathon for the first time, it is advised to build up the distance with your GSD with time. Remember dogs cannot sweat like humans to reduce their body temperature. When can I walk my German Shepherd without a leash? Never let your dog go off-leash where there might be traffic or where he could injure himself. PART V German Shepherd puppy socialization guide Socialization helps them learn what to expect from the world around them and gives them the tools they need to navigate it as they get older. This includes new people, dogs, and animals, learning how to interact with new environments, and being exposed to a wide variety of sounds, smells, and sights. Socialization is especially important in German Shepherds starting from as early as 8 weeks old. This is because this breed is hard-wired to be protective of their owners as well as their property. Failing to socialize can make the dog become aloof to strangers. Other common signs of unsocialized in dogs include: Fearfulness or skittishness around unfamiliar people or animals Aggression towards other dogs or people Lack of confidence in new or unfamiliar situations Difficulty with basic training commands Inability to handle being handled or touched Puppies that are well-socialized are more likely to be healthy, obedient pets that make great additions to any household.
