boxer pug puppies for sale

What a good surprise to hear from you. We were in Montreal from the moment we got her until September - when we moved to Mexico for my now husband's work. Nevertheless I have to say that the transition has been very smooth. All in all, she is a happy, very active and high energy, intelligent, healthy, loving girl. Hope you and your family is doing great. Gibson is doing really well, still looks like a teddy bear as you can see in the photos: he's full of energy and can jump pretty high!! He's definitely a big scaredy cat put is affectionate to the ones he does know. He loves car rides and going to grandmas. She has the most beautiful coat - it is straight and keeps growing - It can be a lot of work to keep smooth, but Bailey loves to be brushed so it usually looks pretty good. People stop us all the time when we are out as she is such a cute little thing. She likes people and loves other dogs. My neighbor says that she is a little dog with big dog confidence, which I think is a good description - she holds her head and her tail up high and right now weighs in at 5. RE the house training it has been a snap. I can honestly tell you that we have had less than 10 accidents in the house since the day we brought her home. We trained her in a crate, we have bells hanging off of the door handle which she learned very quickly to ring, and I think it helps that my kids are a bit older, so at first someone took her out every two hours whether she asked for it or not, and although it is less frequent she still goes out quite regularly. We just love her. Bailie had to have major surgery on her back leg last year. She totally tore the ligaments in her knee. We love her very much and have given her a loving home. Thank you again for entrusting us with one of your puppies. Yours truly, Alexandra p. November 3, 40 Minutes Once upon a time there was a girl who quite liked taking photographs of her dogs on her iPhone. The natural progression was to get a DSLR camera. After speaking to several photographer friends and getting recommendations , she decided to get her first, the Nikon D.Time went by and this was upgraded to the Nikon The D decided it wanted to leave home and take up residence with a new family, which it did. Before long, she also picked up a Fuji X.This was a quirky little fellow and a firm favourite. The last and most recent to join the household was the Fuji XT20, and here is where the story really begins. They then went on to chat more about photography in general and their deep love for this medium. Kate, being a Jedi master and teacher of said medium, then suggested the idea of a photography project. Or dogs and their owners! Now the girl was quite shy and not the type to stop people in the street and ask them if she could take their photographs. Hmm… This would be the first hurdle! You see, the joy of the camera is being in the moment. Nothing else exists; no past, no present, just the now. No worries or fears. Being safe behind the lens, a window to the world, her world. Interacting with animals is just observing and watching, and if you get a good shot then that is an added bonus. But approaching someone, a stranger, and asking them if you can take their photograph, well thats a whole other level. So one day 22nd June on her bicycle ride to work, along the canal between the Sutton Road Walsall and Brickyard Road Aldridge, she plucked up the courage to ask her first stranger if she could take their picture: 1 Jack The Man and George and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. And so the story began…. Thank you for joining me on this journey… 1 Jack and George, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, just fishing and sniffing. It was Friday 22nd June .I remember cycling down the canal tow path, silently talking to myself and desperately trying to summon up the courage to stop and ask someone with a dog if I could take their picture. I practised what I was going to say over and over in my head. Would it sound like I was a weirdo, or a creepy person trying to steal the souls of whomever I took the photo of?! Would they say no? Would they run off screaming? Or would they just push me into the canal after stealing my camera?! I approached the Longwood boat club and I saw a guy in the distance with a Golden Retriever. Right here goes … Nope! I ended up riding straight past him. Damn it! I was really disappointed with myself. I rounded the corner and carried on with my journey to work. In the distance I saw another guy and his dog. Jack and George, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, were my 1. I was so nervous. Further along I saw two more people, with two dogs this time. I approached them and they were lovely. They even gave me their contact number so I could send them copies of the photos. Simple for some, very tough for me. Off I went on my way and a little way along the canal, I approached a lady but this time my request was declined. A little later in the day, on my way home, I successfully photographed a family having a drink at a canal side pub, with their 7-week old French Bulldog. Once I had taken the shot, she thanked me for doing this project and keeping history alive. We walked and talked about the beauty and history of this historic breed. However, once again I forgot to get their names … I must get better at this! Whilst waiting I met these four lovelies. He was a very vocal fellow and was definitely leader of their pack. That was a first — cycling along with two snails in my hand! Two snails in the hand were soon in the safety of a cool and shady bush… Onwards! Buddy currently weighed in at 30kg but would grow to around 45kg! He was a beautiful bouncy boy! Not stumbling over my words or slipping off my pedals … result! I continued on my way, passing my old friends, the ducks and ducklings, herons, geese and goslings — one family has 12 babies, all still safe and sound! However, something suddenly felt odd with my bike. I stopped and checked the tyres. Another puncture! So, I walked the rest of the way, pushing my bike and cooking nicely in the afternoon sun. He loved his ball very much indeed but sat nicely for his photo. New tyres and inner tubes on the trusty steed, and away we go. Those eyes! I paused to feed the ducks some peas and seed; then I came upon Ross and his two lovely little Jack Russel dogs, Jacob and Rusty. They were very inquisitive. Perry and I chatted with an old friend, Chris, about all the birds that were around locally. Owls and Parakeets in abundance at the Lime Pits. Chris had some impressive photos! This used to take around 30 minutes, however it now takes over an hour! Confidence Status: Improving. Ahead in the distance I could see what appeared to be a Wolf … well, not a Wolf exactly, but close! Chloe was a German Shepherd cross Belgian Shepherd. She was with her human family Lucy and Hayden. She was only a pup so had a fair bit of growing to do. Absolutely stunning! Just a check up for his ears so nothing too serious. En route to the vets we met Steve and his beautiful little 18 month old Pomsky, Lady. Artificial insemination. Moving on, she had such a gorgeous soft coat and darted around like a darting around thing. He added that she was very gentle and hardly ever barks. Bill said that Arthur was 15 months old, and he had three other dogs at home — two Pugs and a Bassett Hound. It was too hot for them to come out for a trip in the car though so it was just a ride out for Arthur today — best underbite of the project so far! My cycle to work was filled with many different species of birds today, but was somewhat lacking in four legged friends; this was probably down the the intense heat. Chris was walking with Archie the Lancashire Heeler. Archie was a beautiful little chap of four and a half years old, and was the runt of his litter. Chris rescued him. Terry told me that Ben was a pedigree mongrel. Del said that Sheroo was a very strong dog, but very friendly and playful, he was stunning. I got off my bike and had to give him a cuddle. Bella was 5 years old and had the most soulful eyes, she was very gentle and calm. The ducks, geese, moor hens and coots had eaten all my bird seed supplies on my way to work, so all I had to offer them on my return journey was chopped up cucumber. They were not impressed! The next stranger I met was Vern and his girls Siggy and Jet. They were both rescue dogs. There were dogs-a-plenty today, and first up was Janine with her five month old Chihuahua, Mousse. Janine runs Paws and Claws Care for small dogs in Kenilworth. Mousse loves to run about. Norman was two and a half years old. All four of them were laid back and friendly, maybe it was the weather… or the location! They too were enjoying the stalls and sunshine. She was once a street dog. She had one blue eye, and one brown, she was so gorgeous. Her family were April, Jayden, and Wayne. A cooling breeze from the water was much needed as it was roasting hot! Tucker was three and a half months old and had quite possibly the biggest paws of this project so far! Six months old and beautiful. His human was called Cassie, and both their hair colours matched perfectly. My friend called me over to where the narrow boats were moored. Meet Captain Paddy, with his humans, Jo and Keith. Jo said that they had had him from the Border Collie rescue when he was 11 months old. His previous owner had died of emphysema and Paddy was taken to the rescue on a Saturday morning, Jo and Keith took him home on the Saturday afternoon, a lucky boy. Jo went on to say that they would never have another dog after Paddy because he was so perfect, and no pup could ever fill his paws. Paddy has a facebook page called Boatdog Paddy. Jo was a keen photographer. They were eager to go for a walk so I stopped them only briefly to grab a quick photo. Ruskin was born in Swansea, much like my Beagle Dexter, and was huge for only eight months old! Sharyn was a lovely lady, and we had a good chat. Today was a physiotherapy session for me with Jedi Nat. No dogs were seen en route to work as it was so hot, but I met a couple on the way home. Roxy was sporting a new hair cut and was very friendly, super soft, and well… just lovely! She was 10 years old, but looked like a puppy. Tony and Alison said that they rescued her many years ago from Rosedene. Cuteness overload! Ruby was off leash and very well behaved. Galit fished her out and she proceeded to roll in the undergrowth to dry off. He was a great big bundle of joy and greeted me with the biggest Staffie smile. Nine years young! We chatted for a little while and I mentioned that I was a guitar teacher. Teddy was off to the vets today for his first booster injection. Margaret was waiting to have a cataract operation on her eye. Chelsea was big, beautiful, and full of beans! The early morning cycle ride is truly a wonderful one at this time of year. Ducklings and their mothers still snoozing on the canal side, the 12 goslings and their parents, coots and moor hens with their babies, just blissful. I always take a bag of bird seed and distribute it to the best of my abilities between them all. They were both out for an early morning run, and Murray was very vocal about having his photo taken. Cy was six years old, and rescued from Cyprus. He was shy of strangers, but could pose for a portrait pawfectly! It was poo, thankfully not mine! A gift from the geese had been thrown up from my wheel and distributed about my person! Thankfully I had bottle of water to wash it off with and continue on, damp, but clean. My final encounter of the day was quite a special one. Dave the human, Amy the 20 year old pup, and her sister Alex, who was a mere 18 years old!!! An old lady she may have been, but she looked very happy. Dave told me that they were both rescue dogs that he had adopted at just six weeks old. He told me that he had another dog, but sadly it crossed to Rainbow Bridge just before Christmas, it was also .Found a lump on his back and so went to get it checked out. Fine needle aspirates were taken, and am awaiting the results. Today I travelled to work armed with a box of bran flakes, a big bag of bird seed and a bag of frozen peas, all for the various species of birds and their babies en route. Alfie was six years old, and Molly was five. He was a solid happy bundle of joy. Fiona and I chatted for a while, then I mounted my bike and headed off, leaving Marley wrestling with a stick, or should I say more of a tree! They were on their way to meet friends for a walk, but not before helping me out with my photography project. Three boxes of cereal later, and nearly home, I spotted two beautiful Basset Hounds and their dog sitter, Alison. Lily was the tri-coloured girl and Daisy, the lemon and white. They were so cute and very laid back. Also as I flicked through my camera photos, Alison recognised my previous stranger, Amanda and her pup Dora, who she also walks. The grass is a lovely shade of dried up yellow but it is excellent weather for cycling. A striking dog she was. John said that the breed were were used as service dogs in Belgium by the police force. If distance could be measured by how many boxes of bran flakes you would get through by doing this, then I was nearly two boxes in when I met Isabelle, Michelle, Archie ,the sprocker spaniel, and Freddie, the springerdor. Both of the pups were full of beans, Archie had been for a dip. Standing still for a photograph was not on their agenda for the day, but it was lovely to meet them. Samewas eight years old but he looked like he was still a pup. I still managed to get a photo of his face, and plenty of his butt! Half way to the ! His operation is booked for Friday this week. Whilst walking his dog I met Angela and her Yorkiepoo, Betsie. Betsie was adorable, friendly, and so puppy like, even though she was eight years old. Dex hates water, but mistook the lily pads for solid ground and plopped straight in. It was the shock of his life! He got out again very quickly. Just after Dexter had his mishap, we met our first Beagle of the project, Benji and his human, Mitchell. Benji was eight years old, and was off leash, unlike Dex. Most definitely the loudest and deepest bark so far, as well as the biggest dog, Quinn, the Great Dane and his human, Lee. Quinn had one blue eye and one brown eye, he was beautiful. The landscape has turned from green to brown, and the canal waters, on my route anyway, are the greenest of green. Pippa was seven years old, and very affectionate and friendly. I chatted with Helena who relayed that Pippa loved people, this was quite apparent with the kisses that she shared. Their humans were, Terry and Lorraine. Hans was very vocal. The family were soon to be moving to the Shropshire countryside, as it would be nicer for the dogs. Her human was Lydia. Myrtle was just a year old and had the softest coat. The lab results came back and two of his lumps were just fatty masses, the two mast cell tumours came back as low grade and fortunately the vet was able to take clear margins. This was a massive relief, now to nurse him back to full health. Pablo was a three year old brindle boy who was very laid back. On my return journey from work I crossed paths with Anne and Digby. Anne said that she was a little fearful of dogs at the time, and when they went to look around most of the pups were barking at their cages as they passed. Anne said that Digby was so intuitive of her mood, if she was relaxed, then he was too, if she was fearful, then he was the protector. A beautiful boy he with amazing amber coloured eyes and the whitest teeth I had ever seen! A stunning and very happy pack of dogs they were, and Karen said that Diesel was totally head over paws in love with Sacha. The photo tells all. A trip into Sutton Coldfield today resulted in me meeting my 60th stranger and their dog. Jax was rescued by Dave, when he was just seven months old. Now aged 18 months, and, although kept in a crate for long periods of time by his previous owners, and receiving no training at all, he was now a model citizen. My first strangers of the day were Andra and David with their girls Minnie, the three year old Scottish terrier and Storm, the one year old American Bulldog. Minnie seemed quiet and inquisitive, Storm was very happy and bouncy. Both beautiful dogs. She would have been 21 tomorrow. What a long lovely life and a beautiful smile she had. Lenny was five years old. Lenny had a sister but she was resting up as she had hurt her leg. Terry had recently adopted Bear after losing his old dog before Christmas. Bear was originally from Southern Ireland and was settling in well. He was so gentle and relaxed. You could see these boys had a deep connection. These guys were from London and down here helping out a relative who had recently moved to Brixham. Layla was a rescue dog from Romania and very sweet. Onward for more pottering and I spied them both again, this time with their Mamma Sue. Polly looked amazing for her age, with a lovely smile, but both were gorgeous pups. Rosie said she had three other rescue pups at home. The day began with a lovely early morning birthday ramble with the dogs up to Berry Head. I dropped the dogs off for a well earned rest at the caravan and then headed off on foot to Brixham harbour. Today though, I took the coastal path. My first stranger of the day was a lovely lady called Kay and her beautiful little Dachshund pups, 15 year old Spike and six year old Wilma. Spike had recently won first place in a golden oldie contest. Kay explained that he was in a buggy today because he was slow on his legs and at 15 gets tired out. Wilma came along six years ago to keep Spike company after losing his beloved friend, a chocolate Labrador. Kay explained that every time he spied a chocolate labrador he got excited until he realised it was not his long lost friend. The bluest eyes and the cutest little face. Andy and Benji were fellow Midlanders, and Wolves fans. On my return journey along the canal I spied a beautiful little black dog. Poppy was a rescue pup from a puppy farm in Ireland. She was about two and a half years old, but had already had a couple of litters. She loved chasing Squirrels and Ducks, but not catching them. Also she liked the occasional dip in the canal. She was a little beauty and so gentle. The reason for this lateness was because every single duck that I passed today demanded some food and who was I to argue with their hungry tums? Note to self, must take more food for them and not use it all on the outward journey. Rosie was nearly two years old, and quite lovely. At just a year old Loki was the fourth Norwegian Elk Hound that Andy had owned, and was strikingly beautiful. Rosie was a Lurcher crossed with a Spaniel and was six years old. Jason was man and was .He had known Rosie since she was a puppy and decided to adopt her. The thing that drew me to Rosie, besides her being gorgeous, was that she really reminded me of my dog Obi — not how she looked, but her energy and enthusiasm whilst chasing her ball. Blue was a French bulldog cross and was nearly two years old. So cute! I have seen Russ and Marley locally on the streets for sometime, and the incredible connection and friendship between the two of them is really something quite magical. Marley is a beautiful well behaved fellow and Russ is a true gentleman. The cycle ride to work today resulted in me meeting Sue and her beautiful little Plummer Terrier, Cassie. Cassie was a rescue dog that was somewhere between five and ten years old. She was the last dog to be rescued from a local shelter that was due to be closed down. She used to be aggressive towards other dogs, but with tender loving care from Sue this issue soon disappeared. Casey was a rescue dog of around eight years old. He had been found neglected and cooped up with female German Shepherds, only fed on scraps and bones once a week! He also added that he always had rescue dogs. A chilly and damp cycle ride to work, and feeding the ducks en route, I had the pleasure of meeting Steve a fellow duck feeder, and his five year old female Staffie cross Marley. Marley was rescued by Steve when she was only six months old. She was adorable, so well behaved and loved her ball. She was super well behaved and was settling in perfectly as the newest member of the family. It was Stacey and his dog Boris, the Weimaraner. Boris was nine years old and had been diagnosed with epilepsy earlier in the year. He was a beautiful boy with gorgeous big paws. I took a couple of shots of the boys and popped my camera away in my bag. The day may have been cold and wet, but meeting this beautiful fellow and his human Mom on the canal brightened my day immensely — Mulder, the three-ish year old Spanish Griffon, and Max, his Veterinary Nurse Mom. Max said that Mulder was a rescue dog and a scent hound spot the bell around his neck. We hope you are all doing well. If I could I would have a dozen of your cute pups. It's Kneesaa's first birthday today and I just had to say thank you for this wonderful, loving dog. She's hard to get a picture of because she is always at my feet or on my lap! We constantly get comments on her color. We couldn't love her more! So thanks for breeding such wonderful dogs. Carl and Kay Hi Jamie! Just wanted to update you on Copper a. I have attached a few pictures. He is five months old already and growing up on us. He just got groomed up yesterday at Pet Smart and looks great. Eventually I'm hoping I can do this, but they are getting him ready for me. He is doing wonderful! He has found his place in our family and is an awesome dog! He had some aggressiveness issues when he was younger but has either been trained out of it or grown out of it. It's like it stopped over night, awesome! He is very loving and completes this family in many ways. Our kids are still ecstatic that we were finally able to get a dog. But if would have got one any earlier we would never have our Copper. It's one of the best decisions we have made. Timing is really everything. He is totally house broke and has been for months now but just recently finally started to ding the bell for us when he needs to go out. It's pretty cute. Speaking of cute, he is adorable, and very social! He loves everybody and all dogs. Everyone loves him and can't believe how cute he his. He goes to doggy daycare once in a while and absolutely loves it there. He follows the Cockapoo traits, loves being with us and needs to know where someone is all the time. He will move around the house to sleep just to be near someone. We used the crate at night for the first month or so, maybe a little more. But when he started sleeping through the night we moved him to his pet pen and he has spent his nights there ever since without any trouble at all. He knows his sit, down, stay for a while, still working on longer stays , come when called is good in the house and the backyard, needs work when elsewhere , he shakes hands, and gives a high five and sometimes a high ten and his getting the wave down. I just started to work on the roll over a few days ago and sit pretty. He loves his training time, it challenges him. Pretty good for only five months old! He went through puppy kindergarten and will do obedience class in December. He has his little operation coming up in a couple of weeks. We scheduled it so he would be healed up for the holidays. He was weighed yesterday when I stopped by the vet's office for some stuff and he was a whopping .A good size, healthy boy. He is doing great Jamie. You would be proud of him. Will update you again down the road as he continues to grow up. Jan and Arnie Hi Jamie - Just wanted to send a quick update on our babies. Our youngest, Brantley, turned one today! Both of our boys are the best dogs we could ever ask for. They both have such great personalities. There's never a dull moment when they're around. This picture is of Ollie left, 14 months and Brantley right, 12 months. Hope you're doing well! Every time I see you post new puppies, it makes me want another one. We purchased two red male pups from you last summer,"Cooper" and "Jackson", and we absolutely love them. My parents kept Cooper, who is now named Rory, and we kept the bigger one, Jackson, who is now named Jost photos attached. Jost is very mellow and snuggly, and everyone who meets him loves him. Walking him is like walking around with a celebrity! We have been blessed to have him in our family since mid-July. He is the sweetest dog with the softest fur. I best compare him to Owen Wilson. I never had a dog before, now I cannot ever imagine not having Riley. Between my wife and two sons, he has become my dog. I love the little guy. I also find myself doing the previously unimaginable. I am the official tooth brusher in the house. Nothing gets that tail wagging like the sight of a long-handled toothbrush and poultry flavored toothpaste. How horribly cruel. It is so much his personality that way he carries it. The first time I taught him to shake my hand, I nearly wept. I was so proud of him. On walks he gets excited whenever the prospect of meeting people arises. Landscapers, roofers, deliverymen all end up smiling at him. Even meeting up with his vet gets him excited. They all know Riley there. I think your business is aptly named. He also never turns down an opportunity to be brushed - I think it relaxes him. My oldest son will go away to college in the fall and is already talking about missing Riley. This was the boy who was afraid of and would run from dogs when he was growing up. Now they are both so gentle to one another. I tell everyone about you hoping to send business your way and a loving dog into their lives. Best of success to you in the coming year. To me, your greatest success was when you brought Riley into our family and my life. Thanks again Jamie. Enjoy the photos! Sincerely, Tom- Chicago, IL Hi to all I wanted to let you know that one of your pups has been certified as a therapy dog. KC and I have completed a variety of preparatory courses including Canine Good Citizen en route to certification. To your credit our therapy dog instructor has often commented on his loving demeanor, intelligence, and the quality of his breeding. KC loves to visit at the local adult daycare center, the library Read to a Dog program, and the residential center for folks with severe disabilities. It takes her one time to learn something, we can't believe it. She is such a show stopper too! Every time we take her outside, at the very least 3 people always stop to comment on how adorable she is, they want to take a picture or they want to pet her! We feel like we're with a movie star! We love this baby so much it's unreal. She is so spoiled already, every one is getting her toys, my Grandma even made Ruby her very own quilt! Lol she loves it. Thank you for giving us the greatest joy!!! Our hearts are so full!! Almost 3 mo. Potty trained. Sleeping 8 hrs. We are really enjoying him. Thanks for a great puppy. When we got her 5 years ago she was mostly all white and all the white part turned to black spots! We were just back at Cute Cockapoos to pick up our daughter's new puppy! She fell in love with Stella and had to get her own Cockapoo! Stella has been the best dog! She really loves her time at our cabin looking for the elusive chipmunk! We love the fact that she is so cuddly yet so athletic! After seeing the new puppy, we are very tempted to add another Cockapoo to our family! Michelle Hi Jamie- Gunner is growing! He is such a pleasure! I take him to daycare when I can tell he needs company. He sleeps for days. His favorite is Sadie a little bigger than him. He just runs for the teachers there and when I pick him up he runs into my arms. He plays in the morning all around the house and when tired puts his paws up on John's recliner by the feet. Into his arms with a hoof to chew on. Sleeps over an hour. Doesn't like to go for walks or fetch balls. My daughter takes him in the pool. He loves it! Then he sleeps. Next week the booster shot and other shots. I would recommend daycare because he learned how to play with puppies. A week ago he fell asleep and all the dogs were playing around him in the circle. He sleeps a lot but brief naps and is eating more now. So glad I have my baby. He sleeps in his crate next to my head thru the night! We named her Madison. She is so sweet and adorable. She is pretty much potty trained. She socializes well with other dogs my 3 kids all have dogs. I am so happy that I found you on-line. I'm so pleased. Couldn't ask for a better puppy! He's our gentle little boy who loves to be snuggled and know his family is close by. Despite his sweet and sensitive demeanor, he also lets us know he's a playful little puppy full of energy.Claudine- iola, WI Hi Jamie! Quick update on Koa, our female Red Merle! She is 5 months old and is a spunky little ball of energy! She loves giving kisses and loves attention from any human she meets which means snuggle time, all the time. We love her so much!! It will be interesting to watch her adult coat grow in. Her coloring is so unique and pretty! We got Tui Red female from you a little over two years ago and they are two peas in a pod! Getting a "sister" for Tui was the best decision ever. They keep each other busy and tire each other out! Thank you for our two wonderful dogs! They couldn't have gone to a more loving home. They are my world! I've attached a few photos of the two of them. Sara- Crystal, Minnesota Hi Jamie! I just wanted to send you an update on our Bailey as she is just about 6 months old now, I can't believe how fast that went! She's a great puppy, she loves her puppy day care and is just the sweetest dog. Her and Guinness are really starting to mesh, they play together a lot more and are slowly becoming best buds : we take her just about everywhere we can because she is just great with everyone, such a social little girl! She is graduating from advanced puppy training next week and just received her star puppy award from the AKC. Next we are going to go for the canine good citizen with her as her trainer says she's doing so well : I can't say enough about her she is such a beautiful well mannered dog with a great personality! I attached some updated pictures as well, I hope all is well with you! He has grown to a healthy 29 lbs. He is the sweetest, snuggliest, happiest and most laid back dog we have ever known. He is great with people, kids, all dogs, and a good car passenger too. And what a fetcher--a candidate for field training even! All of our family and friends agree he is one of the best dogs ever. He is a treasured companion and family member. Thank you for breeding quality companion Cockapoos. He brings so much joy to our lives. Your work is appreciated. Some pics of Tater with us at home in Wisconsin, and with us last winter in California. Thanks again, Chanta Hi Jamie, Here's the latest on Arlo's first doggy day out at Discovery Park to celebrate his final vaccine shots : He is doing wonderful and is house trained on the main floor. Such a smart puppy as he now knows how to sit, down, roll, shake paw, wait, stand and come. He's almost done with puppy kindergarten and we hope to join middle school after. Arlo keeps our son Mason on his toes as they both don't like to share. They are still learning and it's definitely like having 2 toddlers in the house but they just love each other. Mason kisses him goodnight anytime we head for bed or naps in the afternoon. When going to places I need to add on an extra 30 minutes just so I'm not late getting to my destination. It takes double to time to get anywhere when I have him with me because everyone just wants to say hi to him and tell me how cute he is!! He has quite a following of puppy friends on Instagram now.For more updated pictures check out: www. I can't wait to see new puppy pictures on your website just to window shop!! He's now 7 months, pictures were taken a little past 6 months. We never thought we could love an animal so much! He is sweet, friendly, playful, and everyone loves his colors! There are also about 4 other cockapoos in our neighborhood all from you! Thanks again, and we are still thinking of adding another one from you! She is 7 months already. I can't tell you how much we love her. She brings such joy into our lives. She is so friendly and smart and loves being around people and other dogs. I am so happy with her. I'm very thankful that I found your website. Merry Christmas to you and your family! I have attached a couple of pictures of Ollie Reggie from May liter. His parents are Maggie and Houdini. We absolutely love him. Nola was in the January liter and they share Houdini as a father. Tons of fun when we get them together! I can't thank you enough for all the joy and love Ollie has brought into our family! Dave- Wauwatosa, WI 5 year update! Has been 5 years since we adopted our furry baby from Cute Cockapoos and he is as amazing as ever! Thanks so much for the light of our lives! Kelsey- Stockton, Illinois Thought I'd share a picture we had taken of our puppy as part of a fundraiser for our local humane society. He's a wonderful dog and has been a great addition to the family. Can't imagine life without him. We love our Ginger! She is one today and full of spunk. She loves to play, go for walks, and cuddle. Ginger is fun, loving, great around kids and smart! Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs! Diane Hi Jamie, It's been one year since adoption day for our sweet little Kevin. He definitely fits right into our little family completely and is the perfect little boy. We just love him to pieces. Thanks for everything! Lola here. Today is my 3rd birthday. I used to get a Happy Meal on my birthday, but Mom has gone all organic on me so we are celebrating with "healthy" treats. We just had to say hello and happy holidays! Lilly has been the best thing ever to happen to our family!! She has brought so much love and laughter, and she really is such a good puppy. We could not have picked a better fit for us or a cuter one! People often say "is she real?? One of the pics she's on her back, that's how she loves to sleep, it's so funny.And I always get the comment that her and I and my son have the same hair. .The pic of her in the jacket. .She just loves the snow! And the first pic is from Xmas morning, the surprise went perfect, definitely a Christmas of a lifetime for all of us!!! The boys had heart attacks and kept asking "is she ours??? Sorry to ramble on, but my heart is just over filled with love, and we can't thank you enough for giving us this most special, precious life and new member of the Schwartz clan.She was born on September 17, and we picked her up on November 7th. She is almost 9 months old and we absolutely love her! We live on Pike Lake in Hartford where she went for her first boat ride and loved it. We also live on a farm with black angus cows - she's very curious about them and is quickly becoming their friend. She is such a little love and is SO smart. She loves to snuggle and be near people at all times. We really couldn't have asked for a better dog. Thank you for raising such great puppies - hope you're doing well! I have also included a photo of him with his best friend Millie who our family also adopted from you! Ailie- New Jersey Hi Jamie. I can't give enough thanks for letting us have this bundle of joy, our Luna. She is such an amazing girl so sweet and obedient. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, thanks again. First of all, I just wanted to let you know that Ollie is doing well! He is the cutest little puppy and has the best personality. He gets so many compliments. Becky- Whitefish Bay, WI This is Chewbacca when he first arrived in our home on the left, and now at 9 months on the right. He has been a wonderful addition to our family and we can't imagine it without him. Thank you Jamie! She has been doing well. We have attached a few photos so you can see how she has grown - she is about 20 now. Her coat turned out to be wavy and very soft, and she has retained most of her white markings. Sadly, the one on her head is not very visible anymore, and we have been trying to save the white tip on her tail, but her red coat will probably win out there eventually, too. We wish we had a dollar for every time someone told us how cute Maya is, and how much they love her color. People seem to be drawn to her and want to pet her. We just returned from a 2-month stay on Hilton Head Island in SC, where we walked her and played ball with her on the beach almost every day. She is very playful and active, and she was in heaven there! She got to meet lots of dogs and their humans - great socialization for her. Also, on this trip, we had a chance to see how she would react to a 2-day hr journey each way by car. She rode quietly the entire way - we were amazed! We are thinking of enrolling her in an agility class for the next round. We are also still working toward training her to be a therapy pet. It will take time and development, but we think she is capable. Thank you for bringing this adorable puppy into the world one year ago, and for allowing us to adopt her into our family. She was born May 10, .She is beautiful, funny and so smart. We love her to pieces. I can't imagine life without her. She has lived in Wisconsin and various places in Florida, currently in Palm Coast Florida on the beach. She loves hunting for Lizards and chasing Sandpipers. Gerry Ann and Jim Hi Jamie! We haven't sent you pictures of our Harlee in a while. He brings laughter and joy to each day. Such a sweetheart, thank you again for our precious treasure! We love her to death and she has been very easy to train. We've even considered getting a 2nd Cockapoo from you but want to wait till Bella is a little older. She loves people and Loves car rides! She did so well the day we got her riding 11 hours back to northwestern MN. We're excited to see how she plays outside this summer as she already loves digging in the snow and dirt when we take her out. Might be a new challenge of training! Her coloring is so pretty and I love how she can look dark or light red depending on the lighting. I also admire your photo taking abilities as it's really hard to get a good photo of her! I'm excited for her to get a little older so I can take her with to my office during the day. Thanks for raising such cute puppies! Bella is the 1st pet I have ever owned and we love her so much! She has brought much happiness and love to me, my home and family. She trained very easily, and is very smart. She is loved by her big brother Golden Retriever, Baron, children and grandchildren. All my family and friends say she is just adorable. She makes my everyday very special! Cindy- Wautoma, WI Just wanted to show you how she is at 6months!! This way you can show others how beautiful the tri color is when grown!! We Love her!! Thank you Jamie for such a Beautiful Dog!! Kona has brought our family so much fun, joy, laughter! We have introduced her to every other dog possible and she wants to play with every one of them big and small. She is so well rounded. She is a swimming water dog too! Thank you so much for this beautiful gift. I definitely want another Cockapoo puppy from you! Many blessings, from the Dowell Sondelski family Sending you a quick note with some pictures our boy, Sully. He turned one today and is as much a joy now as the day we brought him home. He is so smart and sweet, not to mention cute! Again, thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful dog! I would like to tell you that today is Ella Grace Johnson's first birthday. She has been with us 10 months now she is very well potty trained and loves long walk. She is a very intelligent and strong puppy. Her life is spoiled and she is surrounded by loving people. Everyday she gets lots of hugs and kisses but also lots of play time. Ella was the best addition to our family and we cannot imagine our lives without her. She loves to jump and will do anything for meat, peanut butter, and playing with the laser pointer. She can go on 4 mile jogs, which for her are 4 mile walks. She has many boyfriends and loves to go see them, one of them was also raised by you. Her love is endless and every morning she jumps on top of you for love and when you leave she grabs your leg to keep you home. She can now do many tricks, such as: shake, touch, dance, roll-over and high five. I thought I would let you know how she is doing and how loving her family is. They love, love each other! Mazzey is a great dog - we love her. Also, at puppy class we met her brother - paddle - parent is Maggy from Delafield so they were excited to see each other again. Take care, enjoy the photos. As an update, Sully and Einstein my cat are now best friends and are currently snuggling in the doggie bed together. We couldn't be happier. He's also added a new level of challenge to my hobby of photography - I completely feel your pain for trying to photograph puppies! I've gotten a few good ones - but it is a major challenge to get him to stay still for a second! I've attached one of my favorite recent pictures. She has grown so much and everyone at our Resort loves Sasha…she is a great pup! She potty trained in a week…I have taught her to ring a bell by the door when she goes out. She now plays with two yellow labs…they love her and she loves them! We walk together and Sasha walks between them…of course…just a bit ahead of them. She is jumping all over them and they just walk and sit and allow her to do this to them. They are so careful with her. They will leave, in March, to go back to Ontario for the summer. She won't see them until next November. Sasha is so darn cute. Everyone stops to see the "Sash"…she also knows where to stop on our walks for treats from people. She sleeps on my bed…I get HER out of bed in the mornings…she is in "retirement mode". Someone asked me if she was "trained"…I told them she was "trained" in one week…she rings the bell. Named after top tennis player Rafael Nadal. Rafa has been an absolute joy and has been a wonderful addition to our family!!! He undoubtedly is the smartest, handsomest, and most athletic dog in the world we're not biased.His favorite football player is Jordy Nelson former Kansas State all-american and current Packer standout. Here's a quick profile of his first year: He was Summa Cum Laude of his puppy obedience school. He has a "KING" persona. Rafa loves to chase leaves. Gets along well with others.Likes to be outdoors with his "sisters" and enjoys playing 'fetch'. Is a good guard dog, but as soon as someone anyone for that matter approaches him he rolls over and wants them to scratch his tummy. He's a lover not a fighter. Cheers from Kansas, Clark Good morning. Just thought I would share this picture with you: Ziggy crawled into a blanket on the couch this morning, he's pretty spoiled, but at least he knows how to stay warm on these cold mornings! We're crazy about him, even when the puppy naughtiness shines through. He's now just over one year old and is about 22 pounds--an absolutely perfect size. People are always surprised that he's a Cockapoo because most haven't seen a chocolate one. He gets many compliments. We think he's the cutest dog on earth. Pewaukee, WI Max has been a wonderful addition to our family. We picked him up a little over a year ago. He's kept us very busy and always entertained. He is absolutely wonderful.We can't even take a walk without everyone stopping to ask what kind of dog she is! We are really happy. Thanks again! Here is a picture of our Oscar. He just turned one on July .We LOVE this dog soooo much. We get sooooo many compliments on him its incredible. We can't imagine our lives without him. He really is like a person I know that sounds wierd but he's soo smart its crazy! We have truly fallen in love with our pup - named him Murphy. He's as loving, playful, smart, funny.Our vet fell in love too - he spent an hour with us just petting and playing with him. Here's my favorite picture of him - so far. And thank you so much for raising this wonderful puppy for us to adopt Janet- Middleton, WI Hi Jamie, Here is an update about our puppy we picked up from you last October. Maggie is hilarious and fun, sweet and adorable. She is 7 months old now and has grown so much. Maggie is smart and has learned a number of commands. She is always eager to learn something new, especially when treats are involved! She loves to go places and loves everyone she meets, whether people or animals! Maggie has become a much-loved member of the family. But, of course, you are from Cute Cockapoos! Thank you so much for such a wonderful puppy! He's our little gem, we just love him to death. He comes with us whenever we go out to eat. Dogs are very welcomed here. Thanks again for our little buddy. I must say when doing research on a breeder I found the philosophies and background behind Cute Cockapoos was exactly what we were looking for. Well, two years later…. .Winston truly is a part of our family. We are ALL in love with him! Just as your website states, he was easy to train, loving, affectionate, and has an incredibly sweet and polite disposition. Thank you for making our lives richer with the addition of Winston. You truly breed and raise amazing puppies!! We've renamed her "Tui" pronounced like chewy. She is the best thing that ever happened to us!! She is so sweet. Loves giving kisses and is very playful! She's 10 weeks old now, and is pretty much fully potty trained -- goes to the door and whines. She's also getting used to her kennel. She knows how to sit, lay down, and recognizes her name when we call. The last photo that I attached is when she got to visit me at work for the day! All of my coworkers are obsessed with her. Sara- St. She is the best and smartest puppy. She has even taught her buddy, Shiloh our bengal cat, to ring her bells when he wants to go outside. We are working on stay and doing some agility this winter. Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving! She is from Mayas litter born October 27, .You shipped her to us in Dallas, TX December of .She has the best personality and she is great with my three boys. She loves to swim with us. She is the perfect size and weight and I could not be happier with her. She is my favorite child and I would definitely buy from you again. Thanks, Cherie- McKinney, Texas I just had to send these really cute photos of Lola - She is incredibly cute and smart and so much fun! I can not believe how well she has adapted to her new family! You gave her a wonderful start. Thank you! This is the stuffed animal that we brought to your place when we put down a deposit on him. We've nicknamed it Penny, and it has become his best friend, wrestling buddy, and snuggle friend at night. Wyatt is doing well, and has met a few new friends, and would make an awesome Walmart greeter, as he hasn't met a person he didn't want to give puppy kisses to. Thanks for giving Wyatt a great start in life! Humphrey found a nest of baby bunnies in the yard the other day and since then has been completely obsessed with them. He shows no interest in eating hour guarding the covered up babies because the neighbor dog was getting too close. He runs to the nest immediately every time we take him outside, and we are careful that he doesn't hurt them. So far he just sits and watches them, occasionally nudges them, and seems to want to"protect" them. Mom bunny is still taking good care of them. He is 10 months old and still the best puppy ever!!! What a little luv!! Thank you again!! Murphy LOVED it - he's learned the "come" command very well so I was able to give him the freedom to explore off-leash. Attached are pictures of Murphy learning to swim, riding in a canoe and just chilling - watching the eagles. He is truly a wonderful dog! He has been a wonderful part of our family since the day we brought him home! He's done so well with his two-legged little brother that we are looking forward to bringing home a four-legged little brother for him this fall from Cute Cockapoos. LeeAnn- Indianapolis, IN. I wish I knew some of the things I know now from the beginning so I am going to share them with you below. Knowledge is power and it makes for a happy healthy life for both you and your Dachshund. I did my research and chose a different breed of dog to be my first as an adult. But then my roomate brought a Dacshshund puppy home. I ended up helping her take care of him and when we eventually moved apart he went with me. I was clueless as to what I was getting myself into. It was supposed to be a temporary situation but, once I realized that I was in it for the long haul, I figured I better learn about the origin, characteristics, temperament, and health concerns of a Dachshund. I think my first Dachshund would have even had a better life had I been more knowledgeable from the beginning. Note: some of the links below are affiliate links , which means that we collect a small commission on qualifying purchases. I only work with companies and product I truly love though. They were bred to hunt , covering a lot of ground, sniffing out badgers, rabbits, and other small game. This means that they are they are controlled by 2 things: their nose and their belly! Killing anything that squeaks is part of their nature. Anything that is furry and runs fast, or resembles something like that, is seen as prey. While I have seen many Dachshunds learn to live peacefully with a kitty or other pet, they will almost always see critters outside of the house as something to be chased, hunted, and eaten. Hold onto that leash when near small animals and know that random wildlife in your back yard may meet an early demise. Great ways to do this are to join a nosework class, buy a snuffle mat like this one or this one for home, or let your Dachshund chase using a flirt pole. Also remember to work on recall training with your Dachshund so they will come back to you when called. Genetically, they are the same besides whatever gene determines whether they stay small or grow larger, color, pattern, etc. Miniature Dachshunds, and standard Dachshunds that are 22 lbs and under, are considered to be small sized dogs. Standard Dachshunds over 22 lbs are generally considered to be medium size dogs. Therefore, Dachshund is pronounced Daks-huunt. There are also over 15 Dachshund nicknames , and spelling variations, for this funny looking long and low dog. Be sure to know them so you understand that someone is talking about Dachshunds when they use them, not a different type or breed of dog. They were also developed to think for themselves because they were frequently down in the burrows without a human telling them what to do. A Dachshund will keep at any problem in front of them until they solve it. When I travel with my current Dachshunds, Gretel and Summit, in the car, I use a seat belt tether, or a dog car seat with a strap to hold them in, to keep them from wandering and distracting me. I also place my groceries, dog food, etc. The key to training a Dachshund is to find what motivates them — a favorite toy or food usually — and use that as a reward during training sessions. In the end, you will likely have to adjust your routine a little to set them up for success and make sure they, and you, are happy. My Dachshunds have all been very treat motivated. I use the larger venison jerky strips when I need something they can see and smell from a distance during photo shoots. I can easily break off a tiny pieces for a reward instead of giving them the whole thing at once — have to watch those waistlines you know! While your Dachshund will melt your heart and you will want to give them whatever they want, remember that they are dogs that still need structure and manners. Most live at least until they are 11 or 12 and I have seen many, many Dachshunds live to be between the ages of 17 — .If you own a Dachshund, be prepared to be in it for the long haul. I help keep my Dachshunds Summit and Gretel healthy by giving them these supplements and feeding them these foods. Also, the pizza delivery guy may think you have a Rottweiler behind that door because this deep-chested breed has a bigger bark than people expect. Earmuffs, perhaps, but no doorbell. They bark and bark and bark and then bark some more. This is largely hardwired since they were bred to trap prey underground and then bark until the hunters could find them and dig them out. Be prepared to meet some resistance if you try walking them in the rain and be prepared to shovel a path if there is snow in your back yard. That being said, I am a huge proponent of not letting them refuse to go out in inclement weather. Potty training is not always a one time deal. Your Dachshund may need refreshers throughout their entire life! This distaste also includes getting wet when you give your Dachshund a bath. Honestly though, a huge part of why it took so long is because I had to figure out that it was his separation anxiety that caused him to pee on the carpet when I left. Having accidents in the house might be the 1 reason Dachshunds get surrendered to shelters. There is hope though. I was able to potty train my Dachshund puppy Summit in about 6 weeks. Now she rarely has accidents in the house. Do keep in mind that their potty training might slip when they become a senior dog. You also might want to keep this natural, pet-safe urine and odor remover on hand. Harnesses Harnesses are safer for Dachshunds than collars when walking because they help to project their fragile necks and backs. The chest strap on my Dachshunds always slides off to the left or right. Because the fit is a little off, the harness may put too much pressure on their delicate windpipe. For long walks or hikes, especially wet and dirty ones, we use the Hurtta Padded Y harness or the Ruffwear Flagline harness. Finding a jacket or harness to fit your Dachshund may take some trial and error. Jackets long enough for them may drown them in fabric around the neck and chest. IVDD is a hereditary disease and your dog will either have or not. If they have it, no matter how careful you are, they could develop a spinal injury in their neck or back but not always as there are other factors at play too. Owning a Dachshund is kind of like roulette in that regard because 1 in 4 Dachshunds are affected by some kind of back issue at some point in their lives. Commit these back injury warning signs to memory and print out the checklist so you know what to keep an eye out for. Sports like hiking yes, it can be safe to hike with a Dachshund , agility, and Earth Dog can strengthen their backs and keep them supple. Note: You must do these this right away if your Dachshund suddenly becomes paralyzed or has trouble walking. Make sure your friends and relatives know how to properly pick up and carry your Dachshund too. You may also have to remind any pet care professionals you hire like groomers, dog walkers, and dog sitters that Dachshunds have special needs when handling. The first groomer I took my Dachshund to picked him up by his chest and left this back legs dangling. I about had a heart attack. They knew the dog was in "heat" estrum , but they underestimated the sex drive, which is a mistake. If so, stay tuned. Most female dogs have two estrous cycles yearly. They have two cycles that last about a month, about six months apart. Each cycle consists of three parts: the "coming-in", the "being-in", and the "going-out", also known as pro-estrus, estrus and metestrus. Each part lasts about seven to nine days on average. The female is fertile and receptive to the male only during the middle part or estrus, despite the fact that she is attractive to the male throughout the entire cycle. Boy, is she attractive. They can smell her pheromones hormone-like scent chemicals for miles — literally. You may see a motley crowd of mutts assembling, even if your nearest neighbor is in the next county. During pro-estrus, the vulva outside female parts begins to swell, and a bloody discharge develops. The males are surely getting interested at this point, but the female is far from ready. Unfortunately, many inexperienced owners equate this bloody discharge phase with the entire cycle. If day 1 is the first day of bloody discharge "showing color", as the breeders say , then day 9 is the day to get prospective parents together. Better yet, keep them separated for an additional two weeks. The whole business is going to take three or four weeks. Maintain constant vigilance. He went for his well check and 9 week shots today. He was an angel and everyone at the vets office loved him and wanted to know all about him and where he came from. She weighed in at 6 pounds 9 ounces and got her next set of vaccines. Everything checked out well. Right now she is actually right next to me and trying to help me type. She thinks she can do it better than I can. She says to tell you both she said woof woof hello in human. We are so excited about having her she is just the smartest, sweetest, most wonderful pup we could ever hope for. She had her first training session on Sunday and did great. Murray even joked about taking her home with him. She is doing well and getting on a schedule with her eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom. She has had minimal accidents in the house and is learning to heel very well. Lee and I were so pleased with our whole experience. Thank you for our perfect little angel, Kelli, Lee, and Fenway P. We appreciat it! I sent Ed an email to do some inquiry, and within about 20 min he called me on the phone. He proceeded to spend about 45 min of his time talking with me about their dogs and puppies. I learned more about the breed, about what to look for in a breeder, and he answered my 50, questions patiently and fully. We then moved into the next phase, and went to visit the current litter of pups. He was again, very gracious with his time, and really helped us feel comfortable and welcome. It sure seems less of a business to him and more of a passion. He loves the dogs, and pups and wanted to ensure we were all ready for adopting one of the pups. Since we adopted Molly, our lives have been enriched and she is an absolute joy. She is so smart, has a sweet disposition…and you have to love the no shedding feature! Her coat is currently very fleecy, soft and velvety. During our first few days at home, Ed called and checked in on how we were doing multiple times. We had to call as well as we have never had a pup before and were unsure about everything… again, Ed calmed our nerves, never telling us what to do — but always giving us great advice and sharing his practices with us. This whole experience has been fantastic, and we could not be happier with our puppy, or with Ed and Teresa. Happy Customer I received your voicemail tonight. Schuyler is doing great. With fingers crossed, we might venture to say she is house trained. If you have any suggestions we are more than open to ideas. What are your thoughts on puppy classes? We see dogs all the time and our neighbors have dogs so I am not worried about socialization. We will definitely enroll her in obedience when she is old enough. She is a joy. She loves to be brushed, loves playing with the kids and us , and learns very quickly. She is also incredibly adorable. He is a perfect fit. .He has already traveled with us from Winston Salem to Charleston, SC where he met plenty of dog friends. .We were very impressed with how well he traveled in the car lying in between our two children for hours. .He is the funniest dude too. .He tries his hardest to play with our older two female dogs, but they do not want to engage in the puppy play they are more like furniture in their old age. .I think he has found a playmate in our daylillies as he LOVES to hop from day lilly to day lilly like a bunny!! Oscar is an early riser and is getting used to his crate. He loves to ride with me to take my daughter to school each morning and loves smooth jazz music. .I am hoping to start some basic training with him soon- I have another vet visit on MOnday for him to receive his next round of vaccinations. .HOpe you all are well. .I wanted to include a picture of this handsome fellow. .He is truly a delight and we love him so much!! She is our greatest joy. She struggles a little with the toliet habits only because she has discovered how much fun it is to play with the leaves it seems to distract her and she just plays and plays and then after an hour or so she goes back in and oops!!!!!!! But, most of the time she gets it! She knew so much just from you and Teresa working with the litter! She is a companion and she expects to be treated like one. She has the crate down perfect- — she just wants it to be next to your bed at night. This dog has no idea whatsoever that she is not human and she expects to be raised as a child! We love her- — Thank you for all you did for us raising this wonderful doodle! Saw on the webcite you new puppies! What lucky little puppies and future parents of them! Have a wonderful holiday and God Bless you! Patti Patti Hi, Ed and Teresa. Hope you are all doing well and not too tired from taking care of your newest litter! She is such a sweet puppy! We could not be happier. She bonded with us so quickly — she was a member of our family by the time we were home from picking her up. We so enjoyed meeting both of you. You do a very good job with raising your pups! I have attached some pictures and will keep you updated on her — I could tell how much each of the puppies mean to you both. He is still very sweet and loving. He is extremely calm and good with the children. We would be happy to be a reference and talk to people about Jack. He is so eager to please and makes friends and fans everywhere he goes. We like to show him off! I hope you guys are doing well. I researched every breeder I could find from here to Australia and back. I narrowed down my requirements: The breeders had to love their dogs who would be the parents of my puppy. They would take good care of my puppy from birth until I got her home with me. Ideally, they would be within driving distance since I continue to have concerns about shipping a tiny puppy across the continent in an airplane cargo hold. This would be my first dog and I had no idea other than what I had read about how to raise a puppy. For this reason, I wanted breeders who would be able and willing to support and guide me from early on in the process. And, I really wanted to be able to visit the puppy before I brought her home, so I wanted breeders who would welcome me into their home. I found all this and more in Ed and Theresa Schwalbach. They were raising their first litter, and I knew immediately that they would make sure the puppies got all the love, attention and care that I wanted my puppy to have in her infancy. I met her parents, Bailey and Bromley as well, and both of them are just wonderful. Bailey was very focused on her pups, but she greeted me and hung around a few minutes before returning to the litter. Coco is now 13 weeks old, and she is delightful. She has an incredibly sweet personality, she is playful and cute and very bright. In terms of her looks, she has a beautiful, soft, curly coat of the most gorgeous chocolate color. She has bright, expressive, hazel-colored eyes and is well proportioned and growing like a weed. She is everything I hoped for and more. He is pretty well house broken, will come when called, will sit for treats, and is learning to fetch. He is over 20 lbs so I guess he is going to be a big boy. Thanks for a great pup. If, in fact, it did not, I want you to know how much we are enjoying Carrie! Anyway, Carrie is a delight!!! As I write, David has taken the girls and Carrie to his parents they love her, too for the evening. Carrie is just so adaptable. We cannot say enough nice things about Carrie and our dog adopting process. We will get some pictures to you eventually and thank you, again, for helping us bring Carrie into our family. We believe he is truly the best, cutest puppy ever to be born. He looks almost identical to the pictures you have on the Internet of Mr. At 4 months he was house-trained which was quite a relief. He continues to stay ahead of the average in size for labradoodles of his age. We have a big yard for him to run in when we are out. When we are inside he is contended just staying close to us. He does love to play tug of war and hide and seek with one of us. We had a dinner party, recently, for about 30 people. Many of the guests said he was the cutest dog they had ever seen and no one could believe he was just 4 months old. Brinkley stayed with Linda Nichols who got Fletcher from you, while we went to the beach last week. I was worried about leaving him. We were so pleased when we returned and went to pick him up. He was glad we were there but continued to follow Fletcher everywhere, after he greeted us. They get along wonderfully. He learned alot by being around Fletcher. He stopped getting car sick. I truly believe it was because he watched Fletcher and learned that riding in the car is fun. He, probably accidentally, followed Fletcher into the river at the park where Linda takes Fletcher to run and play. After 2 nights of trying, she gave up. Our bedroom door is closed at night, anyway. Once again, we just love Brinkley and think he is the best puppy God ever made. Please note that I answered everything at the highest possible score. You all do a great job with these beautiful dogs. She loves outdoors so she runs and plays daily in the water. I like the long and shaggy look, but we have to keep her coat trimmed a little closer now. We took a weeks vacation and when we returned her head was matted so they may have to cut her close. She is so adorable and smart. Harvey tells me on a daily basis what a great choice it was to get a labradoodle and I just love the no shedding part! She is pretty much a spoiled girl. Hope all is well with you and Teresa. Went out for a few hours and tried leaving Sadie out of the crate with Bentley in the same room — came home to a really big mess — they got into a decorative nick-nack on my coffee table and created havoc!! Nothing of any value destroyed but big mischief!! Wish I had had a camera on that one!! Seriously, they are doing great. We just love them. They are so affectionate and lovable. They would really brighten anyones day. Have been walking them early morning and late at night but they do get really hot. What do you think? Hope all is well with you. We were very impressed with your home and kennel facilities. Thanks again for opening your home to us. See ya in two weeks! I wanted to let you know that Jazz has been spayed and is back to to her old self again. I know you talked with Harvey when I was out of town last week. Please feel free to give us as a reference anytime. We adore her and she absolutely gets all the attention in the house. The ease of transitioning to a dog in the house is largely due to the love and attention you both give the pups. We strongly feel that Jazz had an advantage starting out. There is one thing I would like to ask you about. The vet said to remove the hair from inside her ears since she is a poodle. Jazz lets me do whatever I want to her ears, mouth etc. What method do you use. Also, should I send you a copy of the vet bill for her spay visit? Junah is an absolute joy. We searched various breeds and breeders, but were motivated to find a breed of dog that would have the potential to be a therapy dog: highly intelligent, affectionate, calm, vivacious and adaptable. Discovering labradoodles were bred to be non allergenic and non shedding was an amazing plus. Once we settled on the breed, the labyrinth of breeders was daunting, although most breeders of labradoodles appeared to be in love with the dogs. We were overjoyed to find Doo South who not only demonstrated their love of the dogs, but also their commitment to make the world a better place through their faith and generosity. Ed and Teresa, you answered every question promptly and to the best of your ability. Rarely did we have to wait for a response and no question appeared too small or insignificant. You provided references to owners from a previous litter and we had the pleasure of meeting them before making a decision about committing to Doo South. You advised us when it looked like the mother was about to give birth about 24 hours before she actually gave birth. We were informed every step of the way. You posted photos on the website with regularity and commentary and telephoned to update us as appropriate. We were welcomed to meet the puppies once the first month passed, and provided honest information about where we fit in the sequence of selecting a puppy. The personalities and attitudes were just starting to emerge, but they were all they had been bred to be. The parents, Bromley and Bailey were equally agreeable and accommodating in every visit. We brought Junah, a small chocolate fleece-haired female home on the 23rd of December. Three weeks later we remain astounded by her behavior, personality and adjustment. The first night we were prepared for a sad puppy after leaving her littermates, but she made the transition smoothly, quietly and without anxiety. The next day I became anxious by her quiet agreeableness was she mute? Junah rapidly housetrained herself, easily crate trained and eats beautifully. She is quick, funny, inquisitive and immediately responsive. She almost doubled her weight in two weeks and started puppy socialization class. Personalitywise she matures by leaps and bounds daily. She even sits calmly when strangers come to the front door. The vet is extremely impressed by Junah and the veterinary staff love her older sibling as well. Both dogs are almost identical in markings The staff point out the similarities between the two dogs when we are there for shots or classes. Thank you a million times over. We are happier with Junah than we ever thought possible. In the future, we would be happy to be references or speak with potential labradoodle owners at your request. He is so sweet most of the time , except for the five minute puppy crazy time he goes through once in awhile. His little teeth are so sharp. Steve and I both have bandaids on our hands and his little teeth got caught in three pairs of my pants. He will start training a week from Tuesday. Steve calls on a nurse, and her husband trains german shepards for the prisons and others. He will be coming to our house to train him and when he gets older, he has group classes Duncan can go to also. Duncan has slept in his crate next to our bed from the first night we brought him home. When I figure out how to send you pictures I will be sending some. Our daughter took one with the hamburger toy you gave him, that is so cute. You mentioned someone is interested in DooSouth and would like to see Duncan. That would be find with us. You may give them my email or phone number. We like to show him off. Hope everything is fine in the DooSouth house, I bet its a little quite right now. Has Teresa caught up on her sleep yet? Take care. I have to tell you, he is absolutely the BEST dog!! I take him running with me now and he had the ultimate test on Sunday. We went to the jogging trail where all the really cool dogs go with their owners. He was such a big hit!!! He is so well behaved, so smart, so affectionate, so playful and mellow all rolled into one. When are you having another litter? If we could get another one as great as Bentley, we would very much consider a playmate for him. Let me know please. He is just terrific and a wonderful addition to our family. They were polite, attentive, nondemanding and clearly evidenced their own unique personalities. There were no signs of stress or anxiety around new people, they were highly flexible, and social. Not only are you doing well, you, Teresa and Doo South are doing fabulously. Joe and I were also impressed with your attitude, knowledge and willingness to share it all with us. We look forward to the next phase of our life, Best wishes, Michelle Hey, Ed!!!! Got a new computer so my old addresses did not port; Hershey is great. .New name Charlie. He comes perfectly when I call him so he has not yet been shocked by the electric fence, I do not have the heart to do it. He is growing by leaps and bounds and I will make an appt this wk to neuter him…. Obedience is no problem as he will do anything I ask. He happily stays in the house all day with lily while I am at work, with access to the deck, but runs outdoors with her when I come home; no accidents while loose in the house all day. I could not ask for better personality. He adds thicker coat and more size daily. I love him dearly and so does lily; I am very grateful to have him. Will send a picture soon. We could not be more pleased. She is already in intermediate obedience classes she is perfect with the basics, sit ,stay,down,heel, walk, so we have moved on to the second stage. She loves learning new things. She is so smart. She has grown so much. I think she might be almost as tall as her mom. He coat has changed slightly, from jet black to black with a hint of brown. We are still brushing out the undercoat. Does this eventually all come out? It knots up in some areas and is very hard to brush out. Also I was curious about her ears. I see the hair growing deep in the ear, should I have this removed? None of the books on labradoodles mention the ear hair. Her curl is beautiful, just what we wanted. I will take some current pictures soon and send them to you. We also have an appointment in a couple of weeks to have her spayed. She will be about 7 months at the time. Do you think that is ok? She makes us laugh all the time. He personality is so funny, even her expressions make us laugh. Thank you so much and keep up the good breeding. I will send you guys a new picture as soon as i get home today! Good to hear from you!! Ziggy is doing great and is a very good dog!! I will send new pics this afternoon! Oh and yes i would be glad to be a contact person for you guys. Seriously, she has grown into a truly delightful creature. I will send pictures along. Yes, I learned to do this myself. She has a beautiful coat. Nice soft hair in lovely loose curls. But when she was changing from the puppy coat to her adult coat, she ended up with huge mats behind her ears and on her neck. And that was after I had had her groomed by a professional a couple of times and she still came home with mats behind her ears. She loves them — and they love her. She really is ideally suited to become a therapy dog, which is the next step for her once she gets her manners down pat. That was confirmed for me one day when I was downtown and a woman in a wheelchair wanted to pet her. She walked up quietly, sat down next to the woman and let her pet her head — no fussing at all. Coco has added an element to my life that I never knew was missing. Now I do. What a way to begin and end a day! Sometimes she sleeps at the foot of the bed, sometimes on the floor in the bedroom, sometimes in her crate. She has a ferocious bark which she uses liberally when someone walks by the house at night. She is a powerful, healthy dog — she hovers around 50 pounds, which is just what I hoped for. I worried about that at first. So, I guess that is the whole story. I hope you and your family are doing well. I know you had a couple of litters earlier this year, and I talked with Sophia Brooks who said you just had another one. Are your still getting mostly chocolates and blacks, or have you gotten other colors? Best regards. I wanted more to see the size of the dog. I must admit, they are larger than I expected, but in every other aspect perfect. If I decide to get a dog, I would feel so comfortable and priviledged in getting a dog from you. I loved your momma and the way the puppies are with a family. No cages!!!!! Your puppies are just darling. Everyone stole my heart, but Purple surely filled every nook and cranny. I just need to make sure that a larger than expected dog still fits into our life. Again, I am certain who will provide me with a labradoodle…. Thank you again. She seemed a little tired out when we got home but by last night she got her second wind. Ha Ha!! She slept in her crate in our bed with no problem. She also has not had an accident she follows the other two dogs out and goes as soon as she gets in the backyard. She is awesome- we have truly been blessed with a great new family member. I will send you pictures soon. We took oodles last night when she was playing. She is a delight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took her to the vet today. Bonnie Brae, Dr. Angel Mitchell, who totally fell in love with her. She loved her temperment, conformation and health. I told her about you and your puppies. Marley was not stressed at all. In fact, after the temperature check, laid down and took a snooze. Although, sometimes, after playing in the house, will just walk over without warning and pee! Never poo. She plays hard, sleeps hard and loves hard. She is very brave and independent. Every time we expose her to another part of our property, she becomes confident and goes off on her own. We are about ready to put a leash on her since she does not know her name or any commands. On our property, she is very, very brave. We are just loving her. She is just a joy and very smart. Figured out the first day about where her feed and water bowls are. After just one time sitting on the sofa with us, she nows tries to jump up. Just too darn smart! So hard to say no to her except when she starts chewing on lamp cords and my plants outside. Thank goodness for all that good training! You are right, she is sooooooo sweet. Raegan and Avery are having a blast with her. She really is doing pretty good with potty training. Only one accident each day. And as we speak, she is sound to sleep. I took her for a walk a few minutes ago, but we endedup running most of the way…. .Our neighbors are crazy about her…. I hope you realize what a truly unselfish thing you have done for us. And we love you for it!!!!!!! I will let you know how the vet appt goes. Lula is now in training school the whole family goes to learn and is the star pupil. She is up to 24 pounds she was born August 3. She is the most loving and sweet dog and has exceeded all of our expectations. She has not had her operation yet, but will after Christmas. Roemer, today. Naturally, we fell head over heels in love with him. We are close neighbors — Hendersonville, NC. My wife and I own the Silver Fox Gallery. Three years ago we lost our companion a black and tan cocker, Maggie. We are over our grieving period and realize how much we miss our pet. So many of the characteristics that you have discussed are precisely in line with what we would be looking for in a new family member. We are in our middle — to late fifties and while we have 5 grandchildren only two of the five live near enough to visit with frequency. We would be interested in know if you have in the way of a really good Doodle looking to fill the void in our life? The potty training is coming along — she definitely knows what to do when we go outside — although she still is a peeing machine. I have taken more pics this week to celebrate 10 wks old! I have to download them on computer…will do this week and send updates! Stacy and I would like to thank you so much for our newest family member. He is fitting right in. He is very sweet — loves to cuddle. Thank you again…it has been a pleasure meeting you and your wife. Thanks again! He is adapting just wonderfully…loving his new siblings. I gave your contact info to one of my students parents. You may receive a call from the Cain family inquiring as to whether Fenways other little brother you emailed the photo to me of is still available. We will send you some photos for sure!!! Jessi goes to work with me eveyday, greets the clients, quietly lays under my desk, and then escorts the clients to the door to leave. She has become a staple to our business. We adore her. I will forward photos of her along with the vet records. Hershey is wonderful, absolutely great. The kids and I love her to death and the feeling is mutual certainly. She went crazy when we arrived and more crazy when we left! Thx again. BTW, she has not yet been spade as my vet told me to wait until she has been hot at least once. Thx again for checking up. And I think my brother, his wife and their two kids will end up at your place in next yr. She is such a joy. She has been so easy to train. We cannot thank you enough for providing these wonderful dogs. I have told everyone who has asked about the breed and have told them where we got her. We love her. Please let me know if you need further documentation. Brewster is doing fantastic. He is a very good boy and we get compliments on him all of the time. I have given several people your name when they have asked where we got him. I have attached a few pictures we took while on vacation at Hilton Head Island over the 4th. Please feel free to give any of your potential clients our name and phone number as a reference — we would be happy to tell anyone how pleased we are with our Doo South Labradoodle. We had her work with a trainer and he said she was the best labradoodle he had seen in terms of size, intelligence, and temperment. We had her spayed earlier this week and will get you the paperwork shortly. He is beautiful and well mannered and a good soul. He has also turned out to be a therapy dog minus the formal training. I was diagnosed with breast cancer about 15 months ago and Baci was there with me through all the treatments, surgery, and recovery. Thank you for Baci! I, therefore, have been thinking about a second dog. Baci loves other dogs and cats, squirrels, possums, whatever and I think he would love to have a pal to keep him company and to play with. I noticed your recent litters will be available around November and that might give me enough time to talk my husband into it. She was such a lovely, laid back, and well mannered dog. So, let me know what your new puppies are like and what might be available. She is absolutely beautiful, smart, and generous with her affections. We have a question that we know you can clarify for us. Are both her parents labradoodles? Lastly, I am thinking about getting a second dog in the next year , but not sure I want to do the puppy again. Do you know of any ideas on how we can get an older labradoodle? Thanks so much and we hope you all are doing well. They are truly a beautiful breed. You take such great care of them and they are healthy, happy and so playful. Bailey is wonderful and I so enjoyed Moose. Thanks for your recommendation of items to have for their care…. He is a love bug and a cuddler that sleeps through the night and is doing great with potty training. He is almost too good to be true. I have gotten nothing done. He looks at me and tilts his head, so I hold him constantly. Plus, we have had a ton of visitors. Jeff just got in town and loves him too. Aslan has already slept with Preston all night: Can you tell I am geedy???? My heart has been stolen again! Hope you guys are doing well. I will email the survey in a couple of days. She is doing well. Crosby green is doing great! He rings his bells, sits and shakes on command. He is playful and loving. We absolutely love him. Happy CustomerAnd Their Dog, Crosby Journey is fantastic, as a matter of fact, we have a face book page for him, you may want to check it out. He just graduated his advanced obedience and he was the youngest in the class. Journey loves his bath, any form of water, snow, and etc. He loves just being with us and has the funniest personality. He also loves grass, my husband put a grassy area in our yard for him, since we live in the mountains and there is not a lot of that, he likes to roll around in it. He sleeps in our room with us on the floor next to the bed, and sometimes at the foot of the bed in the entrance to the bathroom, he likes the cool floor. This is by far the best dog we have ever had! Here are my pictures for the contest. I never know when that might happen. I reserved a doodle puppy at Doo South and just happened to get the very last slot. As the pictures of the litter were updated on the website, I enjoyed looking through them and understood I would either be getting the last puppy from that litter or one from the next. God had saved the very best puppy of the whole litter for me! Ezra Hudson came home at 8 weeks old, and on the third day of him being with me, he began very intently smelling my mouth during my reactions. I was having reactions a day Five days after coming home, he alerted for the first time! He figured that one out on his own! Now Ezra alerts, and I can leave the area where there is a trigger in some instances or get the medication I need to prevent me from having a reaction. Ezra has given me so much more independence! He continues to faithfully and consistently alert before I have a reaction. He is now an official medical alert service dog and is in training to pick things up for me, carry things, is learning to flip the light switch, and to brace himself so he can help me get up if I fall. God reserved my special Ezra Hudson especially for me! I love him to bits and thank God for my special gift! She sleeps with us!!! And my husband said she is the cleanest dog ever! No smell and no shedding. I would send a picture but you already know what she looks like. When will you have more puppies? We know of someone what wants one. He has brought so much joy to our home but also to so many people in the Charlotte market. Everyone loves him. Attached are two of our favorite picks. I am sure we will have more Red Cross images as he deploys with me to disasters around the US.

Is this the Goldendoodle puppy coat transition? Where are all these dog mats coming from? The surprising transition from puppy coat to adult coat can sneak up on any unsuspecting dog mom. But the subject of the Goldendoodle coat transition deserves just as much attention as all the other Goldendoodle pros and cons. However, one thing is true for all Goldendoodle puppies. At some point, the Goldendoodle puppy coat will change and the adult coat will come in. Matting can take over quickly Kind of like the month of March, the coat transition may enter like a lion! You may be surprised how quickly the mats coming roaring onto the scene. When my Goldendoodle sidekick Chloe was a pup, her puppy coat was soft and silky and there was not a mat to be found, even in the crevices like the armpits! Meet Chloe. Her puppy coat was silky soft. First under the ears. Then the armpits. Brushing became our thing. Brushing removes dead hair that would otherwise cause mats. Like hair on our human heads, dog hair has to go somewhere. Since Doodles tend to shed less, Goldendoodle grooming is part of keeping the hair from tangling and matting. There will always be hair to manage with any dog, whether low-shedding or high-shedding. With a low-shedding dog, there is a greater amount of grooming. With a high-shedding dog, there is a greater amount of time spent cleaning hair off floors. Either way, you have the joy of being a dog parent! For more about shedding, read my article: Do Goldendoodles Shed? It may make you feel overly confident. When the Goldendoodle puppy coat starts transitioning, be ready. When do Goldendoodle puppies shed their coat? However, as a rule of thumb, Goldendoodle parents say anywhere between four to eight months and may even be up to two years. What happens during a Goldendoodle puppy coat transition? When the Goldendoodle adult coat begins to grow in, the puppy coat begins to shed. This creates tangles. If not groomed early, the tangles turn into mats. Since there are so many Goldendoodle coat types, there is not one set example. Some parents will hardly notice the change while other Goldendoodle parents will find what feels like an explosion of mats. What areas are the biggest matting culprits? If you click and purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Learn More The transition from a puppy coat to an adult one can come as a bit of a shock to novice owners and newbie pet parents. Some breeders choose not to mention it for fear of putting off prospective buyers. However, here we will let you know exactly what to expect when your Goldendoodle puppy coat transition happens. Types of Goldendoodle Coats All dogs are born with a soft, single-layer puppy coat, whether they later go on to develop a double-layered one or not. Goldendoodles are no exception. This smooth, silky hair then gives way to something that can be altogether trickier to manage. Knots, tangles, mats, and shedding can become real problems with some dogs. As you probably know by now, with a mixed breed, there are no certainties. Especially when the parent animals are so different. One half of the Goldendoodle equation, the Golden Retriever, has a dense, straight, water-resistant double coat. In contrast, the other half, the Poodle, has a curly, coarse, low-shedding single one. Depending on which parent they favor, Goldendoodles can inherit either of these coats or a wavy, fleecy, long one that sits somewhere in between the two. This is generally the most common and the most popular of the three. For more on Goldendoodle coats and the right tools for caring for them, take a look at The Absolute Best Brushes for Goldendoodles. Nature can be a bit of a lottery. We can, however, make a few best guesses based on the parents and what usually happens. One thing we do know for sure is that whichever adult coat your pup is destined to have, it will be altogether stiffer and denser than their puppy one. It could even be a different color, thanks to the Poodle Fading Gene. Breeders, however, do highlight a few telltale traits that could give you an early idea of what to expect: Check The Snout An excess of hair at the top of the snout known as a mustache indicates that your pup is likely to end up with a coat on the curlier end of the spectrum. Straighter, shaggier, beard-like hair suggests a wavier coat. If your dog has short hair here and an overall neat and tidy-looking muzzle, they will probably inherit a straight coat. Pay Attention to the Generation The generation of the dog can also provide a strong indication of what to expect. See Also: Click the image Goldendoodle Puppy Coat Transition Phases When it comes to changing from the puppy to the adult coat, there are no clear-cut transition phases. When and how pups blow their puppy coat varies from dog to dog. With most dogs, it tends to happen at around six months, and it can be either sudden or gradual. Some owners barely even notice — it all depends on the final hair type. However, you may start to notice a little more hair in the brush or a few more tangles around the armpits, tail, and ears. If your Goldie is getting more of a curly coat, you will need to be extra vigilant at this time. Shedding puppy hair can all too easily get caught up in tight curls leading on to painful knots and mats that are all but impossible to remove with a brush. A good rule of thumb with dogs is that with a low-shedding coat, you have to spend more time on brushing; with a high shedding one that time will be spent cleaning hair up off the floor or your clothes. Which Goldendoodles Get Puppy Coats? Pretty much every variety of Goldendoodle from Standard to Mini experiences some sort of coat change as they transition from puppy to adult. The switch from puppy to adult coat is also less noticeable with active dogs and particularly ones that spend a lot of time swimming. The water washes away the old hair as it is replaced with the new. It is not left about the house as it otherwise would be. This change could be pretty dramatic or quite subtle depending on the type of adult coat your pup has inherited. They will shed their puppy coat somewhere between four and eight months, and their stiffer, denser adult one will start to come in at this time. Do Goldendoodle puppies change color? While your pup is unlikely to completely change color on you, many Goldies get lighter as their adult coat comes in. This is known as fading. How do you tell if a Goldendoodle puppy will have furnishings? Furnishings refer to the hair features about the face. The best way to know if your Goldie will have furnishings is to pay attention to their generation. F1 Goldendoodles are most likely to be missing them. F1B dogs are the most likely to have them. If a puppy lacks furnishings, they are unlikely to develop them in adulthood. With or without, though, all Doodles are still undeniably cute. When adopting a puppy, there are many things you need to be prepared for. Many people choose to adopt one of these darling dogs for their hypoallergenic properties. The best way to anticipate precisely what kind of hair your Goldendoodle will have when they are done blowing their coat is to speak to the breeder. Checking out the parent dogs is also recommended for later generations. However, this is no exact science, and you should really be prepared for anything. We are sure, though, that no matter how your Goldie ends up looking as they develop, you will love them just the same. How could you not? Just look at that face! Learn How to Upkeep Your Doodle! Will stop growing eventually if left alone Straight coat Goldendoodles are the most like a Golden Retriever Expect troubles with shedding Expect allergy sufferers to have a rough time with a straight coat Goldendoodle A positive is much lower maintenance Regardless of the coat type you would expect a softer puppy coat from months, then a transition into the final Goldendoodle adult coat from then on. As a general rule the replacement adult Goldendoodle coat will be stiffer and denser than the Goldendoodle puppy coat. Which Goldendoodles Get Puppy Coats All sizes of Goldendoodle from large standards, to miniature or teacup Goldendoodle will all experience some form of coat change. When I spoke to breeders to interview them about the way they can predict the coat type for Goldendoodle puppies, they told me an interesting message. Our F1b tend to have soft fur even as adults. When the change does hit it is not always obvious to the dog parents. The transition to adult coat can be seamless, or it can reveal a surprising final Goldendoodle coat type. There are clues from early puppyhood that you can follow to take the best educated guess about which type of coat your Goldendoodle puppy will have. We wrote a thoroughly researched article telling you what strategies the experts use to predict Goldendoodle coat type from puppyhood. Remember that nature is a lottery, and there still can be surprises! You can see that the experts agree that a Goldendoodle puppy should start being groomed around 5 months of age. If the transition from puppy coat to adult Groodle coat is a difficult one, it is really handy to have a dog that is very used to grooming. Goldendoodles can have trouble with their paws. Have you ever seen a Goldendoodle lick or chew its paws? This is often a sign that something is wrong. Early exposure to paw touching can make it so much easier to four out what is causing Goldendoodle paw licking and fix it. At the least consider getting your Goldendoodle used to bathing and shampooing as needed only from a young age. Should I use special shampoo for the Goldendoodle Puppy Coat transition? When a Goldendoodles does lose its puppy coat around months of age you will be ready for an adult Goldendoodle shampoo. There is little harm in using up the rest of your puppy shampoo. Although it is probably easier to just use a natural, excellent smelling shampoo that is friendly to both puppies and adult Goldendoodles. All Goldendoodles can smell, regardless of coat type. There are seven common causes of Goldendoodles smelling — find out more here. There are three types of Goldendoodle fur coats Wavy Curly Straight The three Goldendoodle coats have differing degrees of curliness. Different genes inherited from the parent dogs will determine the coat type. They are also referred to as fleece coats. Wavy coat Goldendoodles are typically low shedding. A wavy coat does require grooming to prevent deep knots from forming. A wavy coat will grow to around cm 4 to 7 inches in left untrimmed The hair will typically be shorter around the face Wavy coats are low shedding Wavy or fleece coats are less dense than a curly coat Wavy coat Goldendoodles are low allergy Wavy coat Goldendoodles need brushing at least once per week. The coat will stay healthy and clean with little effort. If left to develop, sometimes the knots need shaving, which can cause discomfort. Brush well before shampooing your Goldendoodle with the best breed appropriate shampoo Curly Coat Goldendoodles Curly Goldendoodle coats feature the densest curls of any Groodle coat type.

Do Goldendoodles Change Color? Goldendoodles are a unique hybrid breed that offers variety in size and color. In addition to the color variances, the visually stunning coat that adorns most doodles and their sweet personalities make them an easy breed to love. Determining the optimal color of your doodle starts with a conversation with goldendoodle breeders. One of the best parts about a crossbreed like this one is choosing from a wide array of color types. What Is a Goldendoodle? Goldendoodles are hybrid breeds of poodles and golden retrievers. Combining these two breeds creates a mild-mannered pup with minimal shedding and a lovable disposition. Goldendoodles are people pleasers that constantly seek affection and approval from their owners. As such, goldendoodles make for excellent service or therapy dogs. The playful poodle element of its lineage also contributes to its beauty. Common Goldendoodle Colors Doodle owners delight in choosing the option they desire, from black or gray to cream and apricot hues. One of the exciting aspects of doodle coloring is that the face, paw pads and other physical features almost always stand out in striking ways because of the color contrasts of these pups. Gray Goldendoodles Gray goldendoodles typically derive their silver-hued coat from their poodle ancestors. Goldendoodle gray is a more rustic version of the silver coloring of poodles and may not surface fully until six weeks after a goldendoodle puppy is born. It typically only occurs in multigenerational breeding situations. As these pups age, they may have a two-toned coat, as the fur around their face and paw pads may retain the color longer. This means that some gray doodles end up with a blue or gray color to their coats. Parti Goldendoodles The parti goldendoodle color mixes white and any other color, though this is commonly an apricot or tan shade. The parti coloring is a rare goldendoodle outcome, but it can happen. The exciting thing about this color pattern is that no two parti goldendoodles are precisely the same. Black Goldendoodles Black goldendoodles are actually pretty rare. One of the unique aspects of a black goldendoodle is that everything on the pup is dark in hue: facial features, foot pads and eyes. This makes it challenging to achieve this result in a first-generation goldendoodle puppy. Another point of note for black doodles is that the fading can be significant. What starts out as a rich black coat can become a gray, silver or even blue hue once the dog is past its puppy stage. Apricot Goldendoodles The apricot goldendoodle is one of the most popular colors of this breed. This color comes largely from the golden retriever lineage of a doodle. An apricot goldendoodle coat tends to make the pup look like a teddy bear, which is just one of the reasons doodle lovers seek this coat hue. Like other doodle colors, it does start off darker at first, lightening over time. In fact, an apricot goldendoodle coat can lighten considerably. After a while, apricot goldendoodle puppies tend to be confused with cream or tan versions of this breed. Chocolate Goldendoodles Solid chocolate is another standard goldendoodle color. Chocolate goldendoodles owe their lush coat color to a recessive gene that would otherwise create a rich black fur coat. This means the puppy in question must inherit one recessive gene from each of its parents to end up with a chocolate hue. Chocolate goldendoodle puppies are born with a dark brown coat that lightens over time. Therefore, some brown goldendoodles may have a lighter shade more quickly than others. This lightening actually begins at the six-week mark and may be most noticeable around their muzzles and in the area around their paw pads. Cream Goldendoodles Interestingly, cream-colored pups are variations of the red line of this breed. Cream goldendoodle coats have the most extensive color variation in tones and dark points of all goldendoodles. This is another color derived from the golden retriever lineage of a goldendoodle puppy. Cream doodles tend to either have dark or pink features and paw pads. Cream goldendoodles are commonly used for breeding other color variations within this breed, such as parti goldendoodles. Abstract Goldendoodles This is one of the most interesting coloring combinations because, similar to the parti version of this breed, no two abstract goldendoodle coats will look the same. Typically, these white areas will be found on the face or on the chest and paw areas of the puppy fur. They are not large swaths of white, which makes the color stand out all the more. Blue Goldendoodles Blue goldendoodles are extremely rare because of the nature of the recessive genes that cause this hue. It takes multiple generations of goldendoodle breeding to achieve a blue tint, which is why blue goldendoodle dogs are coveted by doodle lovers. They may appear to have a gray coat at first. However, upon closer inspection, the darker, steely hue of the blue is more evident. These pups are also born dark at first, and as their coat lightens, the blue hue becomes more apparent. Only a few goldendoodle dogs will remain blue once they have adult coats. Most will see their coats clear to a gray later in life. Goldendoodle Coats Change Color Do goldendoodles change color as they get older? Depending on the parents, it may have some variations in color on its tails and ears. This comes from the poodle component of the gene pool, as poodle fur tends to change over time. This typically starts at age three in poodles, which is one of the reasons it happens in goldendoodles once the dog is past the puppy stage. The extent to which the coat changes color depends on the original hue. Cream, for instance, is likely to fade less obviously over time than one of the richer colors, like chocolate. The change can be sudden or gradual, and sometimes the texture of the coat will change completely. The fur grows in dense curls that can be tight, kinky curls, or loose barrel curls. Generally, curly coats have virtually no doggy odor and are usually very low shedding. Wavy Coat English Goldendoodles have wavy coats that are also sometimes referred to as fleece coats. This coat type is typically very low shedding, but it does need plenty of regular grooming to prevent matting. Straight Coat Goldendoodles with straight coats take mostly after the Golden retriever parent. These Doodles are the heaviest shedders, making them unsuitable for life in a home with allergy sufferers. These coat types tend to need a little less brushing than the curly or wavy coated types, and they are slightly less prone to tangling and matting. To make matters even more interesting, Goldendoodles commonly change coat colors or get a brighter coat as they age , so it really is a total lottery! Goldendoodle puppies have a fantastic coat! Brushing your puppy removes loose, dead hair that would otherwise turn into immovable mats. So, even though one of the reasons that Goldendoodles are so popular is that they are extremely low-shedding, they do shed.

Often, Goldendoodles that enjoy swimming and generally get grubby so that they need regular bathing can often lose their puppy coat almost invisibly. Generally, when Goldendoodle puppies change their coats, the mature adult coat they grow is denser and stiffer than the puppy fur.

When your puppy starts growing his adult coat, his silky, soft puppy fur is shed. You need to be alert to that process starting! All puppies are born with a single coat.

Goldendoodle Coat at 10 Years Short Goldendoodle History The Goldendoodle is perhaps one of the most famous and instantly recognizable members of the Poodle cross family. The Goldendoodle is first recorded as existing in the late s when a breeder chose to mix a Poodle with a Golden Retriever. This primarily came about as Golden Retrievers were well established as guide dogs for the visually impaired. However, they shed heavily making them incompatible with visually impaired people who had dog allergies. Introducing Poodle genetics often reduced shedding making the dog much more accessible to a variety of people. As Poodles are equally, if not more intelligent than their Golden Retriever counterparts, this ensured the new hybrid remained trainable as an assistance dog. As time went on it was almost inevitable that people would seek out this mixed breed as a domestic pet given their friendly nature and good temperament around children. The other appealing feature of the Goldendoodle as a domestic pet is that it can come in a variety of sizes to meet individual living situations. Added to this they are fairly healthy dogs, benefiting from the phenomena of hybrid vigor. This means you can expect a Goldendoodle to reach up to 15 years old! If you are new to the world of hybrid or mixed breed dogs, the concept of generations may feel a little incomprehensible. If bred back to the non-Poodle parent they are usually referred to an F1B Reverse. However, breeders can be selective about the types of Goldendoodle they pick. Typically, they pick the ones with the more desirable curly Doodle-like coat which increases the chance of it being passed on. Conversely, the F2 can also throw out the most eclectic litter as there are 4 Golden Retriever genes and 4 Poodle genes in the mix. This is sometimes known as the grandparent effect. The only way to be sure of coat types and colors is to have the parents genetically tested before breeding. If bred back to the Retriever they are known as an F2B reverse. F3 or Multi-Generational: This is where it gets confusing, breeders can then get creative with crossing F2 Goldendoodles with Poodles, Golden Retrievers or Goldendoodles. At this point, they are generally referred to as multi-generational. We have a more in-depth generations article that can teach you more about hybrid crossing called Cavapoo Generations Explained. The main difference that generation can have on the coat type of your Goldendoodle refers to how much Poodle genetics are present. Sometimes a pup will take after their Golden Retriever parent more and may present with a flatter coat, the correction for this would be to crossbreed the pup back to a purebred Poodle in the hope of increasing the curl. However, not all Goldendoodles will be curly. Check out the Flat Coated Goldendoodle to learn about those who take more after the Golden Retriever side of their family. For now though, we take a closer look at what you can expect from an F1 Goldendoodle coat. Goldendoodle Puppy Coat They do not come out curly! Now, this may be a serious shock but very few Doodle hybrids come out curly. In fact, it is much more likely that your Goldendoodle puppy will look decidedly Golden Retriever-like, other than it may have picked up some Poodle coloring. They will not shed particularly much and given the short nature of their coat, they will not be prone to matting. This is the stereotypical puppy coat that feels soft and fluffy and just begs for you to run your fingers through. As it stands there is no definitive way to determine from a puppy just what type of adult coat they may develop outside of genetic testing. If you are absolutely heart set on the curly Doodle coat an F2 Goldendoodle may be a better option as by breeders selecting two curly Goldendoodle parents you have a higher chance of the puppy exhibiting the same. However, this is not an exact science either as both Goldendoodles could be carrying straight coat genes. Now, just because their puppy coat appears low maintenance this is not an excuse to skip brushing. It is essential you acclimatize your Goldendoodle puppy to grooming tools like brushes and ideally dryers early.

Again at-home brushing is key, not only will it build confidence in your dog but as they begin to reach the stage that their coat will change, regular brushing will ensure any excess hair is brushed out to avoid matting. Goldendoodle Coat at 6 Months While some unscrupulous breeders may tout Goldendoodles as truly hypoallergenic we know in fact that all dogs will shed hair and dander to some degree. It is correct that a Goldendoodle may be lesser shedding than other breeds however, at age 6 months they will shed their fluffy puppy coat meaning they will leave a trail of puppy hair behind them at least for a short period. During this time they may look a little ramshackle as they have patches of fluffy puppy hair and tufts of coarser adult hair. This exciting stage is when you will likely begin to get the first true indication of what you can expect from your adult Goldendoodle coat. Largely speaking Goldendoodle coats fall into four categories, flat, straight, wavy, or curly. The flat and straight coated Goldendoodle will look much more similar to their Golden Retriever parent, while wavy or curly variations will look decidedly more Doodle-like. Goldendoodle Coat at 1 Year By one year old your Goldendoodle will have continued its steady transition from puppy to adult coat. Any shedding should reduce and if a proper grooming regime has not been implemented this is where you may begin to encounter difficulty with matting. At 12 months you can begin to implement a professional grooming regime, while it is unlikely that you will need to attend more than 12 weekly at this stage, it is a good age to introduce clippers and nail clipping. This will be coarser than their puppy coat but overall, the Goldendoodle often retains the softer hairlike coat prized in Doodle hybrids. At this age, any work you put into familiarizing your pooch with grooming tools will really come into its own. It will not be unusual for a Goldendoodle to require daily grooming to keep them matt free. At 2 years you will have an idea of how quickly your particular dog requires a professional groom. Be warned though, if you prefer your Goldendoodle in a lower maintenance shorter cut, this could mean a trip to the groomers as frequently as 6 to 8 weekly. Goldendoodle Coat at 5 Years By 5 years of age, your Goldendoodle coat will be a product of things such as nutrition and grooming care. This can of course vary widely from owner to owner. A Goldendoodle supported with a good quality diet and given regular grooming may continue to exhibit a glossy coat while a Goldendoodle with less attentive owners may require to be kept in a very short cut and hair may appear coarser. Goldendoodle Coat at 10 Years By ten years of age, it is not unusual for high-energy Goldendoodles to still appear puppy-like. However, their coat may be the giveaway. At ten plus years they are officially entering their senior years and this can often show up in their coat. Many Goldendoodles that started out solid black, for example, may fade to a distinguished silver. Likewise, rich red tones may fade to blonde. It is worth mentioning that older coats and dogs may need additional support in terms of supplements and conditioning treatments. Older dogs may not tolerate prolonged grooming sessions either meaning everything may just need to slow down a bit. Either way, you will have had a fantastic companion for 10 plus years by this point and every gray hair will just tell the stories of the adventures you have shared. Again, this depends on their parents. But most commonly, they have wavy hair. Those with curly hair resemble their Poodle ancestry. Those with a straight look appear more like Golden Retrievers. The latter is far easier to groom. Speaking of grooming… Length After your dogs latest trip to the groomer, how long should you wait before scheduling their next visit? Mark it on your calendar, every six weeks about does the trick. Most Goldendoodles will have regrown everything in about three to four months. Both Poodles and Golden Retrievers have longer coats. While Labradoodles could have a shorter coat, this is uncommon in Goldendoodles, if even present. All in all, a Goldendoodle is a great pet for owners with allergies. While there is no such thing as a truly hypoallergenic dog, Doodle breeds shed far less than most and are quite allergy friendly. Many Goldendoodle parents may note that their puppy's coat quickly fills with fluffy clumps as a result of this. This is a definite indication that the shift has begun for your dog! Your Goldendoodle puppy's fur is thickest at three months old. It's possible that your puppy's coat has grown to its full potential and is very well-colored at this time. Your Goldendoodle could start to lose its puppy fur and develop an adult coat between the ages of 4 and 8 months. Depending on the exact kind of fur, this process may be slow and scarcely perceptible, rapid and evident, or protracted and difficult. The color and texture of their pelt can also vary. Don't get too depressed if your puppy's fur lasts past the age of 12 months; some Doodles may continue to shed puppy fur. We mentioned earlier about grooming. While most breeds you can take to the groomer at about 12 weeks, you probably want to wait until this six-month mark to shuffle them to the stylist. This will allow most of their puppy fur to be shed. When a puppy is 6 to 10 months old, the silky puppy coat often begins to shed gradually. Your Goldendoodle will continue its gradual transformation from puppy to adult coat by the age of one. Any shedding should be minimized, and if a suitable grooming routine isn't put in place at this time, you can have issues with knots. First, the adult coat becomes stiffer and more curly. Over time, you will notice that the coat is not as soft as it used to be. Most of the time, the color will usually lighten as the dog ages. They will grey just like we will. There are a handful of reasons for changes at this age or, sometimes, younger. If your dog is one that loves daytime romps, the sun could bleach its fur over time. This is natural. Diet and nutrition can affect their coats as well. A lack of vitamins could cause them to shed and matt. You might be allergic to dogs, but your dog could also be allergic to you. Or other things too. If they do have allergies this can affect the color, texture and volume of your puppy's coat. See your vet for best practices about how to assist your dog in these instances. Inherited or communicated diseases can also affect your dog's coat. Again, your trusted vet is best suited to formulate a plan of action for managing the situation. The same goes for grooming your senior pup. Older dogs need to be treated with a bit of finesse. Have that same respect for your dog. Especially those over the age of about ten years or so. If they have arthritis, for example, be aware of those areas on their body. But what happens during the time in between hair care visits? You can even take things step by step and demonstrate how easy it can be. Keep things light. Keep things fun. Shampoo and conditioner of high quality are viable options for special treatment. There are other, less expensive options as well. When they are true puppies, you want to only wash them when they start to smell. What will really help is brushing your puppy on a regular basis. Popping out the brush once a day or every other day is recommended. Brushing their hair less than once a week will almost definitely spell disaster. You can trim things up here and there as well. Where are some trouble spots that will need to be considered when grooming your pup? These might be found at the base of their tail, beneath their ears, and in the area just above their armpits. Don't forget about the back of their haunches and elbows. The best way to learn is with hands-on experience. Ready to get your Goldendoodle today?

With their signature bat ears and expressive eyes, French Bulldogs, or "Frenchies" as they are lovingly known, have captured the hearts of many dog lovers around the globe, consistently ranking among the most popular breeds. Renowned for their easy maintenance and the ability to thrive in apartment living, French Bulldogs are a city dweller's delight. Their small size, typically weighing under 28 pounds, makes them perfectly suited to compact urban spaces. However, their charming personalities and heartwarming companionship are universally loved, irrespective of city or countryside living. This breed's laid-back nature does not mean they're devoid of fun and play. On the contrary, French Bulldogs can be quite playful and are known for their often comical and entertaining antics, which only further endears them to their owners. Their affectionate demeanor, combined with a remarkably low barking tendency, makes them a joy to have around the house. French Bulldogs are sturdy, compact, and stocky, with a powerful muscular build that contradicts their small size.

Their facial expressions are human-like, and they're known to "talk" using a complex system of yawns, yips, and gargles. However, owning a French Bulldog does come with responsibilities. Their brachycephalic short-nosed nature makes them prone to certain health issues and less tolerant of extreme temperatures. Despite their muscular appearance, they are not the best swimmers, and care should be taken around bodies of water.

Since mini Golden Retrievers are hybrid breeds, they have no actual breed specifications. Their coat color can vary from light cream to dark gold or red, with extreme variations in length. Their heights vary, but most are under 20 inches tall, males and females. Their weights can vary as well, typically staying anywhere between 30 and 50 pounds.

Purebred Black Golden Retrievers do not exist but can essentially be created by mixing any variation of a Golden with a black Labrador, Newfoundland, or other breeds.

Some Goldens may even be mixed with Newfoundlands, which would result in a much larger dog, weighing 80 to pounds or more.

English Golden Retriever males can be 22 to 24 inches, while females grow to between 21 and 22 inches. Retrievers, as a breed, are notorious overeaters!

I am planning on buying a baby golden retriever, and I was just wondering what age I should buy it at. I've heard from 6 weeks to 10 weeks. I'm not sure. I want it to be healthy so please give me an accurate age. Also, I was wondering about the price range, so if you could add that in your answer it would be greatly appreciated. Answer by millypeed The minimum age to buy a Golden Retriever puppy is 8 weeks, but it's better to wait until 10 to 12 weeks, pups need to stay with mum and siblings until then, even though they have been weaned and are eating solid food they will learn vital socialization skills in these last few weeks. Answer by TJ First, let's break this down just a bit. Separating a LITTER from their mother is part of the weaning process, and is a completely different thing to when the litter is split up and the pups sent to new homes. With my breed, we separate the litter as a litter from their mother at 5 weeks, obviously way too young to send to new homes. I will not split up a litter before 8 weeks but will split them up before 10 weeks. The reason for 8 weeks is because we have their eyes CERF examined at 8 weeks. The reason for 10 weeks is because fear memory is said to develop during the 11th week. Price ranges from A to Z. I just know that there are only two places that I would get a Golden from. June Atkinson Holway Goldens Answer by Melissa S 8 weeks to ten weeks, any younger is too young, the longer it stays with the mother the better because in those first 8 to 10 weeks the mother gives them the milk, weens them onto food, and also passes down good behavior, she keeps them in their place, and usually, the pups are healthier at this age, and bigger to cope with the separation anxiety. Answer by T weeks. The price I have no idea with this breed. However, I'm sure other people will answer that for you. Do you have your heart set on buying from a privet party? Answer by Amanda H No sooner than 8 weeks, but 10 weeks is better. Some states have laws against selling puppies under 8 weeks. I would say expect to spend at least 1, Know better? Give your own answer to this question! See other posts in dog price , golden retriever , puppy Reader Interactions. It is after birth that you might need to help keep her clean and comfortable. The lactating dog needs to eat a high quality puppy food that is high in protein and calcium. This will allow her to produce substantial amounts of milk. She should eat puppy food until the puppies are weaned. Let her eat as much as she wants, which can often be four times her non-pregnant intake. You cannot overfeed her during this period, as making milk for puppies requires a lot of calories. Be aware that the first hours after giving birth, she is likely not going to eat much of anything at all. Getting too much calcium can set her up for milk fever later on. Milk fever is caused by a significant drop in blood calcium levels and typically occurs weeks into lactation. This can lead to seizures because the calcium levels in the blood are too low. If you suspect milk fever, seek immediate veterinary attention. During the first weeks, the new mom will be very busy keeping track and taking care of the puppies. It will be important for her to have access to them to keep the puppies warm and fed and clean. Take her out for short bathroom breaks for only minutes. While she is outside and away from her puppies is a good time to change her bedding, keep her bed clean from soil at all times. A groomer or your veterinarian can do this procedure if you do not feel comfortable or do not have the equipment. Mammary gland infections mastitis do occur and can get very serious very quickly. If you see mammary glands that are very red or purple , hard, hot or painful, there is a problem. In some cases, mastitis has the potential to kill the nursing mother dog. If you suspect mastitis, take the dog immediately to your veterinarian. Even if you have to take her to an emergency veterinary hospital, it must happen immediately. It is normal for you to see vaginal discharge from the momma dog for a few weeks up to 8 weeks after birth. This discharge can look brownish red and look stringy. Occasionally a mild odor will be noticed. If you see yellow, green or gray material, or notice a foul odor, take your dog to your veterinarian. She may have an infection in her uterus. Unless she is filthy, wait a few weeks to give her a bath with a mild oatmeal shampoo formulated for dogs. Otherwise until then just wipe her down with a clean, warm, damp cloth to remove any blood, placental fluid or fecal matter. They should eat every hours at minimum. Happy puppies are sleeping puppies; if they are crying a lot, they may not be getting enough nutrition. Check for fat little bellies and clean coats to signal that they are well cared for. Try weighing the puppies on a digital scale to make sure that they are gaining weight every day. Puppies should double their weight in the first week. Do not disregard a puppy looking skinnier or less active than the other puppies. Take him to your veterinarian right away. He may require supplemental feeding or other help. If after the first few days, you see the rest of the puppies growing and one that is still small and skinny, this may be a sign of insufficient feeding or another problem. It should be a solid surface without any holes into the sinuses. Consult your veterinarian if there are any concerns. Take the puppy to a vet right away for an exam immediately. Newborn puppies, like newborn humans, can get sick and dehydrated quickly. As the puppies get older and more mobile, the confined area will get messier. Cleaning up after the puppies at least times per day will be needed to keep the whelping box sanitary. Puppies need healthy socialization to their new world, including introductions to people. Hold each puppy several times per day. Get the puppies accustomed to being touched everywhere on their bodies so that it will not seem strange when they are older. Mom might get protective and be a bit aggressive toward humans, this is normal, so prevent children from bothering the puppies. Socialization starts in earnest at two to three weeks of age. It is important to handle the pups several times a day at this age, and start introducing strangers and children so they get used to different voices and appearances. Do this and you are laying a great foundation for their future. If you are selling or giving away the puppies, wait until they are 8 weeks old before handing them over to the new owners. In some states, like California, it is illegal to sell or give away puppies before 8 weeks of age. Puppies should be fully weaned and eating dog food on their own before they leave for a new home. Starting a deworming and vaccination program is often recommended before the pup leaves.

Occasionally, the sire or female is unwilling to breed. Occasionally, even though the dogs are healthy, the female loses a litter. Occasionally, the female may cycle earlier or later than what was expected. Therefore, this can result in a litter being born earlier or later than what was originally planned. Occasionally, the planned number of puppies born for the litter is different than what was expected. Some examples include: more of one gender fewer of another gender the number of puppies born is fewer than average. If the puppy you reserved falls under an issue that is beyond my control, you will be able to move to another litter. You may move to a litter that will be planned for a later date by the same pairing or you can move to the next planned litter due with a different pairing as long as there are available spots open. Please keep in mind that your deposit is non-refundable. Since we are a small facility, I will not take reservations on another litter of the same pairing until I am certain that the first planned litter has whelped and everyone on that list is able to get a puppy, or unfortunately an issue happened as described above. Price: Prices are listed below. These prices are if you, the buyer s , pick up in person. Pickup in person is preferred. If buyer does not pick up in person, delivery fees may be added to the cost of the puppy. Once I receive your deposit, I will place your name next to the available gender of your choice. Availability for gender choice is in order based on deposits received per dog. We, as the breeder, reserve the right to be placed first on any litter of our choice at any time.

According to the AKC , the largest litter registered was 17 puppies. This litter size is significantly larger than some other breeds. German Shepherds are larger dogs, so they are going to have more puppies than smaller breeds. For instance, Dachshunds only have one to six puppies on average. The largest litter ever came from a Neapolitan Mastiff, a breed that can reach pounds. When it comes to litter sizes, size does matter. It is impossible to tell how many puppies that a particular dog might have until she gets further into her pregnancy. These factors may help you make a good guess, however. This is most obvious when comparing different dog breeds. In turn, small breeds have small litters. However, the exact size of the dog also matters. Smaller German Shepherds will have smaller litters on average than larger German Shepherds. If your dog is larger, she may end up having a larger litter, or she might not. This will reduce the overall size of the litter. Even if you feed her excellent food and take care of her, underlying health problems can cause puppies to perish before they are fully developed. Diabetes is an excellent example of this. However, improperly fluctuating blood sugar can have a massive impact on growing puppies. Without the proper blood sugar levels, many puppies will not develop properly. Short-term conditions can also cause some puppies to develop improperly and be reabsorbed. For instance, infections can cause one or more puppies to stop developing altogether. Most miscarriages go unnoticed without any clinical signs, especially if only a few puppies are lost. Only late-term miscarriages usually get noticed. This seems to happen most commonly in purebred dogs, according to the vets at High Street Steeping Vet Clinic. Purebred dogs may have more genetic abnormalities than mixed breed dogs because they inherit traits from a smaller genetic pool. The odds of them inheriting something harmful is higher, simply because there are fewer genes for them to inherit. Many purebred dogs are also inbred, including the German Shepherd. Middle-aged German Shepherds tend to have larger litters than younger and older dogs. German Shepherds typically have the largest litters around age 5. After that, they may decline in size. However, this decline is more rapid and apparent in some dogs than others. Many older dogs have health problems, which likely affects their litter size too. Some of these health impacts may go unnoticed and therefore, be wrongly attributed to age. Season There is evidence that the season that the dog gives birth affects the litter size. However, other studies found no correlation between when the litter was born and the overall litter size. There may be a regional component to this, though. In areas with more significant seasonal changes, the season may make more of a difference. In the tropics, it may not. However, more studies are needed to determine this possibility. Heritability Studies have found that dogs may inherit their litter size potential. Dogs that are born to bigger litters tend to have bigger litters themselves. If there is another factor at play, it will likely take precedent. Plus, much of this heritability may be linked to the size of the dog. Many dogs are going to be a similar size as their parents. Nutrition Image Credit: Monika Wisniewska, Shutterstock There are a few nutritional components that can affect litter size and the overall health of the mother and her puppies. When a mother dog becomes pregnant, her nutritional needs change. Protein is essential for pregnant dogs. This is similar to what puppies need, so many pregnant dogs are often fed puppy-intended dog food. Fatty acids may also play a role. Dogs with lower levels of serum glucose in their amniotic fluid tend to have smaller litter sizes. Therefore, feeding them a diet higher in omega fatty acids may be helpful. Image Credit: J. Feeding your canine a better diet may result in a bigger litter, for instance. If your dog is sick, it is paramount that you treat them before attempting to create a litter. However, these factors have to be adjusted before the dog gets pregnant. Once the dog has conceived, it is impossible to increase their litter size, though you can prevent losses. There are also many factors out of your control. While there are a few things that you can do to reduce the risk of these issues, you can never prevent them entirely. Even if your dog lives in a clean environment and is healthy, infections can still occur. You should be feeding her food suitable for puppies as soon as you plan on breeding her or at least as soon as you find out that she is pregnant. Choosing which dogs to breed also impacts litter size and can be controlled to a certain extent. However, some dogs may have small litter sizes but may otherwise be great breeding candidates. In general, to increase your dog's litter size, we recommend doing the following: Regular testing for infections Regular vet checks for reproductive tract disease Final Thoughts The average German Shepherd litter size is about eight puppies. However, there are many factors that can go into this. Keeping your dog healthy is essential to maximizing litter sizes. But many factors are outside of your control. If a puppy inherits specific genes, they are less likely to develop correctly and make it to birth, lowering the overall litter size. Related Reads:.

After many months of trying to select the right breeder we chose Taryn based on her knowledge of poodles, and the fact they were raised in her home. Our little girl is healthy, secure, and smart. As a former breeder, I can honestly say Taryn is very passionate about poodles, and the breed itself. Which is the reason I choose Le Harrel's. We love our Mavis Pearl she is the sweetest. They sleep on our beds with us and get lots of treats, pets, car rides and love. We are not fancy people, we don't have a big fancy house or fancy dogs with show haircuts, but we do have a great family with lots of love to share with our animals, and that makes all the difference. All our poodle and Bernedoodle puppies get lots of love and attention from the day they are born.

Powder Valley Poodles wants to protect you against fraudulent scam artists preying on innocent consumers. Please be aware that not all websites you will find that sell puppies are real. There are many websites out there — some on the first pages of your search — that are complete scams. The people have stolen pictures, text and testimonials from reputable breeders such as Powder Valley Poodles and put them together to form web sites that entice people to place deposits on puppies. They call themselves by the first names of the reputable breeders whose websites they are stealing. My Testimonials from my very happy poodle puppy and doodle puppy buyers appear ALL OVER the internet as testimonials within scam websites in order to convince people that they are dealing with a reputable breeder. But, there are no poodles. There are no puppies. They take your credit card information or money order and that is the end of their involvement with the client. These are not breeders. These are Cyber scam artists. How do you tell the difference between a real breeder and the con artists? The real breeders will have a physical address. An address that you can contact the post office in their town to see if the address is real and if the names they provide go with that address. Con artists typically have only a post office box. Con artists also typically will communicate only by texting or email. A genuine, reputable breeder wants to TALK to the people potentially buying a puppy. Most reputable breeders are the same way. I want to make sure these people will provide a good home for my puppy. Also, con artists are frequently operating out of foreign countries. They may have a foreign email address and if you do speak with one they may have a foreign accent. Know that we do have the authorities working on stopping these criminals but it is difficult and for law enforcement a fairly low priority. Since I was first made aware of this problem over a year ago when one of my clients saw her testimonial to me on another web site there has been no progress in stopping the scams. Make sure the breeder you are contemplating has a REAL physical address and will speak to you by telephone. Ask MANY questions. Be a savvy consumer. Be safe. Be aware and insure that you are dealing with a reputable, and real, dog breeder. We also offer all sizes of goldendoodles, from the tiny 6 pound micro goldendoodle to our much bigger 65 to 75 lb.

They are playful, affectionate, and healthy. They are the perfect family dog, companion and Service Dog. We are not a large multi-dog kennel. Our dogs live in the house with us and our puppies are born in the house and generally are not outside unless we are outside with them. They are raised with other dogs, large and small, cats, and children. Please enjoy these photos of some of our dogs and puppies over the years! May God bless you with a poodle for the journey! Standard poodles are a wonderfully versatile, smart, beautiful, athletic, loyal, and loving breed. They were originally bred to be water retrievers and some still excel at hunting and water sports.

The Standard Poodle can be groomed in an elegant continental show trim for those that are willing to keep up with the brushing and combing or a practical short sporting trim for those that have less time for grooming and want more time for other activities with their dogs. There are many fun trims in between the two. Every poodle will still require some regular attention to coat upkeep and grooming. However, owning a standard poodle is so worth the brushing — and it could become your own form of meditation! Be careful, once you get your first standard poodle, it is hard to stop!
