What is a Labradoodle? If you haven't already, you will fall in love with this breed! The Multi-Generational American or Australian Labradoodle embodies the courage, Loyalty and Intelligence of a working dog with a magnificent fleece, non-shedding coat that is hypo-allergenic. They were originally bred as service dogs and have evolved to become our most desired family companion. They are athletic, smart, easy to train, and have a life span of over 15 years. Whether you want a sporting dog or a loving and loyal companion, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking, yet mellow Labradoodle will make your family complete. American and Australian Labradoodles can be very different depending on their breeding, and it is important to understand the differences. Just breeding a poodle to a lab or a labradoodle to a labradoodle does not make a quality pet. They are non-shedding with the wonderful Labradoodle temperament, intelligence and laid-back nature. They have been bred to standard over the last couple decades and contain not only Lab and Poodle DNA, but also a controlled mix of American and English Spaniel, which contributed toward the incredible silky fleece coat. F1 1st generation. This usually produces a dog with mild to light shedding. Hair can be long or short, wavy or straighter, and wirey or harsher fleece in texture. First generation Labradoodles are typically high-energy dogs with the great Labradoodle intelligence and are a good choice for a family that does not mind some shedding and high energy. F1B 2nd generation. F1 Labradoodle bred to a Poodle. The F1B Labradoodle is more standard in physical appearance, and more consistently non-shedding. The coat ranges from fleece to wool in texture and can be wavy or straighter. These dogs have the great Labradoodle laid-back temperament and intelligence, and can be a good choice for families that prefer a non-shedding dog. Multi Generational 3rd generation or higher. F1B or higher bred to F1B or higher. Most true to the Labradoodle standard in physical appearance and consistently non-shedding. The texture ranges from fleece to wool and the wave ranges from wavy to curly. It is important to maintain the wider body type and shorter muzzle length. The fleece coat can be very nice, but not as silky as the coat of an Australian Labradoodle.

They are truly producing the best pups in temperament, coat, and health not to mention hands down the cutest faces and body shape. Contact us today for more information about our family-raised, hypo-allergenic, highly trainable Labradoodles. We started our breeding program with the best bloodlines to ensure we would be producing the most beautiful, intelligent, trainable and lovable dogs possible. We are grateful for the guidance we had when we started and we continue to improve the way we do things through training and education for more than 18 years. It is our dedication to excellence in the way we raise our precious dogs and train them that sets Texas Labradoodles apart. Most of the breeders were breeding true Australian Labradoodles. Since that time we have watched our amazing and magical breed of dogs become a world wide phenomenon with Labradoodles taking over everywhere. From being in the movies to being the number one choice for commercials, print ads and funniest video stars, Labradoo dles are everywhere. With this profound movement of the love of all things Labra doodle, the purity and purpose of what Labradoodles were originally bred for has become convoluted with many types of doodles. The Labradoodle breed itself is be coming a confusing mixture of levels of breeds, types of infusions into the blood lines, etc. Australian Labradoodles are produced when multiple generations of the original Australian bloodlines, Rutland Manor and Teagan Park are bred together. These two kennels began breeding these dogs to create a hypo-allergenic, low to non-shedding dog. These dogs are bred to be highly trainable dog for the purpose of being taught to be guide dogs or therapy dogs for people with allergies. It took these two kennels a lot of work, testing and breeding to get the breed to where it is today. It was not as simple as breeding a Lab to a Poodle, both great dogs, of course, but not a true Australian Labradoodle The importance of adopting a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle If you want a hypo-allergenic, highly trainable dog for your new family member or a dog for therapy work, you want to get a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle. Working with a reputable breeder that has many years of experience and a true love of the breed is important. Make sure the genetic testing and puppy care are done to ensure they are breeding the best and most healthy dogs possible. Dogs that are registered with the ALAA as multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are the most consistent breeding of Labradoodles that you can get. These dogs are going to have a consistent temperament and trainability level. This consistency and care to our breeding program helps our families to know exactly what to expect from their new family member. Clearing our dogs for potential diseases not only ensures that our dogs do not have these issues prior to breeding, it also ensures that we will never produce puppies that could have these diseases. The hip and elbow testing does not guarantee that puppies will never have hip dysplasia, but it is the best method that we have to prevent producing puppies with genetic hip issues. Hip problems are often caused be environmental factors, but culling puppies for breeding purposes helps to reduce the risk of breeding bad confirmation. Temperament, coat and trainability for different types of disciplines are key in our breeding program. Creating perfect family members, guide dogs, therapy dogs and best friends begins with breeding the perfect parents. Years of care and experience have made us experts at accomplishing high standards set by the ALAA and our own personal goals for our dogs. We know that a Texas Labradoodles bred dog is the finest of our wonderful breed and we are so proud to have produced such wonderful companions and working dogs. Please see our references page for more stories and letters from our families. November, .I cannot say enough good things about Mardee and Texas Labradoodles! From the beginning Mardee was very caring and knowledgable on all things Australian Labradoodle. It is clear she and her family love their dogs and take excellent care of them from the very start. She takes the time to match each puppy to their forever home and I scored the jackpot with my Maggie! I could not be happier with her sweet demeanor and easy going temperament. She is super smart, easy to train and equally as adorable. Even after bringing our puppy home Mardee has been a great resource and we are still in touch. I am so thankful to have found Mardee and Texas Labradoodles! Mike Tadlock .October, .Texas Labradoodles and Mardee were Amazing. She helped guide us through the selection process and we could not have gotten a better fur baby than Sadie. If you could meet Sadie and see her with us you would understand. We are obnoxiously crazy about this girl! We know others who have used Texas Labradoodles and they all feel the same. She has brought so much joy and happiness to our home. Paul Chapman 4. We recently welcomed the most perfect medium Australian Labradoodle into the family. I could go on and on about how wonderful this dog is and if you email me I will. That said, I have been equally impressed by our experience with this breeder. First and foremost, Mardee loves her dogs and this breed and that loves comes through in every single interaction and detail. They are true to breed standard. Go through all the appropriate genetic and health screens and, most importantly, are bred and raised in a loving home with plenty of outdoor country air. These dogs are not inexpensive but they are well-priced, given all the time and expense put into raising quality animals in the very most humane and caring of environments. If you want to know what to look for in a breeder - TX Labradoodle is the standard. Chris Monroe .August, .Highly knowledgeable, caring and experienced.

Brittany Meuth .April, .My husband and I recently adopted our first puppy from Texas Labradoodles and we could not be happier with our experience!

She is amazing at what she does and truly loves providing families with amazing pets! Steven Roberts .We got 2 girls from Mardee two months ago. The experience could not have gone better. Loving environment, plenty of outdoor room, clean as a whistle and the pups are all we could hope for. No puppy mill atmosphere here. Solid solid folks and superior dogs. And another plus: Wimberley Texas is awesome. Karen Hernandez .I have truly been blessed by the forming relationship with Mardee and MOE. I did not realize how much joy at my age she allows me to experience. She is not my only dog that I share my life with, but she is definitely an exception that I must say is out of the ordinary. Mardee is very responsive and knowledgeable and her understanding of the breed. I can tell she only wants to breed the best genetics and protect the breed from becoming a backyard hobby only to make money. It is nice to see and know how much she strives to improve the breed. I think anyone looking to start or expand their canine family would be truly blessed. Google rating score: 4. Breeding the very best. Our breeders are exclusively selected from the finest breeding stock, descended from the Research Centers at Tegan Park and Rutland Manor in Australia where the breed was first developed to create allergy friendly service and companion dogs. All of our breeders are genetically screened for hereditary disorders, temperament tested and vet examined to make sure that they will produce the highest quality companion and service animals for your home. Every breeder lives in a loving family home, whether in our own home or a "Guardian" home, and the puppies are socialized from an early age to ensure that your puppy has enjoyed the best possible start in life. I was impressed by the high standards set by some Australian Labradoodle breeding clubs for genetic screening, orthopedic evaluation, and ethical practices. Having experienced and witnessed the heart break and astromical vet bills that result from bad breeding practices, it was clear to me that the purchase price of a well-bred Australian Labradoodle would be money well spent over the next decade and a half or more that this companion would be a part of our lives. Our family flew from Houston to North Carolina in search of our newest family member. She graciously allowed us to spend a very happy hour snuggling her puppies. In that moment I felt that if we had a litter of puppies in our own home, we would never stop smiling. After bringing our Thornton home, it was immediately apparent that this breed was very special, and that our Thornton was an incredible specimen. He potty trained quickly, naturally walked at my heel, constantly watched my face for eye contact, and even pooped on command. It seemed his only desire was to please me and be near me. I was hooked. I decided to partner together with my mother, Joyce, to establish our own home breeding business to make these glorious creatures more available to families in our area. My mom and I share a love of animals, birth and babies that made this partnership a natural fit for us. We are proud members of the Australian Labradoodle Association of American where we have attained the highest qualification available: Platinum Paw. Our goal is to bring joy to families by adhering to the highest standards of health and ethics, while carefully selecting for the most wonderful personalities. Bred with love, from our home to yours. My dog Pepper is a wonderful addition to my family! Beautiful dogs! They are beautiful and healthy. Our first one is almost 5 years old and we have a 2 month old. Lindy breeds them in a very clean home. She is extremely loving to these newborns and is open to all of our questions. She even follows up to see how they are doing. I would not buy from anyone else. Our 2 labradoodles get plenty of compliments. We have added 2 beautiful members to our family. I waited almost a year for mine and he has been life changing. They are truly amazing, healthy, loyal, and smart dogs! I have trained him and he is now a service dog and has been the greatest companion to me as well. Lindy always responded and kept me in the loop during the entire process. Before I met her I had a nightmare situation with a breeder that was a scam so was very skeptical but she made me feel at ease about everything. Thank you for everything Lindy! Nathan Kirton I ended up finding a puppy from someone else that fit my timeline better. The communication I had with her Lindy was amazing. She was super helpful, and gave me so much information about what I could expect. Thanks for being super helpful Lindy! We waited over a year and it was so worth it! Lindy was instrumental in our family getting the dog of our dreams. She was extremely helpful in asking and answering questions to ensure we got a right match for our family. She took into consideration all of my preferential factors such as the gender, coat color, personality, etc. The cherry on top was upon pick up at 8 weeks Teddy was healthy, socialized, potty trained, and vaccinated. Lindy pours love onto these dogs and puppies and treats her clients with tremendous respect. The puppies are happy and safely kept in an immaculate environment until sent home and I love that each family is celebrated with a photo to commemorate the occasion. Definitely worth the WAIT! Chuck Hahn Best dog ever!!! Worth the wait. He came home perfect! Testimonials Happy Faces Your happiness is our happiness, your success, our success. We take great pride in each and every home we complete with our dogs. We did tons of research. We wanted a dog that did not shed, was hypoallergenic, and had a good temperament. Those dogs are hard to find! We finally came across a very special Australian Labradoodle. We found our Rosie through my best friend who knew the owner of Australian Labradoodles of Texas. Her temperment is what we were really drawn to. She is so calm, obedient, and really wants to please you. She rings a bell when she needs to go outside and walks right next to you on her leash! We feel so lucky that we get to call her ours! To say that Miles has changed our lives for the better would be an extreme understatement! From the moment we set our eyes on him in your videos, we knew he was special, and he has shown us that a million times over. He is a sweet and affectionate dog who loves his family fiercely, acting protective when he needs to, yet demonstrates such a docile and gentle temperament to other people, especially small children who love to pet and squeeze his fluffiness. I had no intention of adding another dog to the mix! After several weeks, I finally pulled the trigger and we brought him home! Charley Brown was the perfect addition to our family and I would recommend these pups to anyone looking for a good family dog. All of our puppies come with Socialization.

Vocality level 3 in 5 Disclaimer: While the characteristics mentioned here may frequently represent this breed, dogs are individuals whose personalities and appearances will vary. Please consult the adoption organization for details on a specific pet. Temperament The French Bulldog is a clown in a lapdog. They enjoy playing and entertaining their family, as well as cuddling and snoozing with their favorite person. They are amiable, sweet, companionable, and willing to please. A short walk on lead is sufficient to meet most of its physical needs. Frenchie snores and may wheeze and drool. Require minimal coat care Facial wrinkles should be regularly cleaned. Brachycephalic syndrome stenotic nares, elongated soft palate Intervertebral disk disease CHD seldom causes symptoms or problems Allergies History Where are French Bulldogs from? In the nineteenth century, the Bulldog was fairly popular in England, especially around Nottingham. The French women, especially, were attracted to these little Bulldogs, especially those with erect ears a common but disliked feature in England. Dog dealers brought more of the clownish little dogs to France, where they soon became the rage of Paris. The dogs were dubbed Bouledogue Francais. How big do French Bulldogs get? Some Bulldogs are quite small weighing less than 25 lbs, however, dogs in this breed on average, weigh 28 lbs. What are some French Bulldog facts and information? Facts French Bulldogs are best known for: Bat ears. Should a French Bulldog Mix take after their Frenchie parent, they will be a small companion breed that bonds closely with their families. They tend to have an energetic, playful personality and love nothing more than being with their favorite humans. French Bulldogs tend to be friendly, playful, and affectionate dogs that get along with just about everyone. They tend to get along with children, other dogs, and other pets. They will even warm up quickly to strangers as long as they have been properly socialized. If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, then you should be able to expect the same from a French Bulldog Mix. You can also meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like and the behavior she is modeling for the puppies. The breeder should have started some training and socialization, but it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home. Frenchies are highly adaptable dogs. They do well in apartments as well as larger homes. However, as a brachycephalic breed, they are extra sensitive to heat and also sensitive to the cold. They also do not like being left alone for long periods of time. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect a Frenchie Mix to also be a highly adaptable dog. The other parent will introduce their own traits and some potential quirks, so you do want to ask the breeder about them. They could inherit none of the conditions common to their parent breeds, or they could inherit some or all of them. They can also be prone to allergies, have sensitive skin, and also a sensitive stomach. Good breeding practices will make a huge difference. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing issues to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both of the parents. Although French Bulldogs can sometimes be stubborn, they are eager to please and tend to be easy to train. As long as training is consistent and focused on positive praise and reward, they can be a good fit for owners of all experience levels. If the other parent breed is also easy to train, then you can expect a French Bulldog Mix to be highly trainable as well. Regardless of owner experience, there are many benefits of puppy training classes. A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one of their parents or a coat that is a mix of both. You will also need to clean their facial wrinkles. Weekly ear checks with cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. As a small dog breed, a Frenchie Mix is more prone to developing dental diseases later in life. This makes good, consistent dental care for dogs even more important for them. Daily brushing with a dog-friendly toothpaste or using an enzyme toothpaste paired with cleanings at the vet when needed is ideal. Frenchies are known couch potato dogs that are happy to lay back, relax, and cuddle with you. Daily walks plus some playtime are usually enough for this affectionate little dog. Even though they like to relax, they also like to play and will be energetic when they do. They can also be athletic and compete in dog sports. As a brachycephalic breed, you do need to be careful of overexertion and overheating.

The French Bulldog was then developed by crossing the English Bulldog with local small breeds, such as the Terrier, to create a smaller, more delicate version of the English Bulldog. During the 19th century, French Bulldogs were used for bull-baiting and dog fighting. They quickly gained popularity among the upper class in France, especially in Paris, where they were considered a symbol of luxury and elegance. In the late 19th century, French Bulldogs were brought to the United States by American tourists who fell in love with the breed while visiting France. Temperament of Frenchies The temperament of a French Bulldog is generally described as affectionate, playful, and sociable. They are known to be good with children and other pets and make great companion animals. They are also known for their intelligence and trainability, which makes them easy to train and manage.

A good breeder will provide you with written documentation that the parents were cleared of hereditary diseases by a veterinary professional. Check online reviews and ratings of German Shepherd breeders in New Hampshire and speak to current and past pet owners before making a decision about which breeder to work with. Ask for a tour of the kennel and make sure all of the parent dogs appear to be clean, healthy, well-behaved and friendly. Make sure you feel comfortable with your breeder and ask as many questions as possible before deciding to buy a puppy from them. A good breeder should want to provide you with all of the information you need and should be available to answer any questions in the future. This can be very helpful because it allows you to see if the parent dogs are well-behaved, friendly towards other people and animals, etc. Breeders who produce healthier pets generally take very good care of them; they spend lots of time socializing the puppies and making sure they are comfortable around new people.

A good breeder wants you to be happy with your new pet and will work with you to answer any questions or address any issues you may have. Questions to Ask Ask for References from Your German Shepherd Breeder in New Hampshire A reputable breeder will have references that you can contact to learn about their experience working with them. Calling the recommended breeders is a great way for you to get in touch with people who have actually interacted with your newly selected German Shepherd breeder. When talking to references, be sure to ask lots of questions. Here are a few ideas: How was your experience working with this breeder? Was your puppy healthy and did it have a good temperament? Was the breeder available for support after you got your puppy? Would you recommend this breeder to others? You should ask if the parents of the puppies are screened for any hereditary diseases at all stages of life. Good breeders will also have their puppies vaccinated and dewormed at an early age. They should also provide you with a health record of your puppy that includes dates of all vaccinations and deworming treatments. Your breeder should also be willing to offer a health guarantee on the puppies. The breeder should be able to provide references from people who have interacted with their kennel. These customer references can give you valuable insight on things like: What was their experience working with this breeder? Would they recommend this breeder to others? How were their interactions with all of the different staff members at the kennel? There are many places you can find a new pet, including animal shelters and rescue groups. That being said, working with a good kennel who is knowledgeable about their breed can make having a new German Shepherd an easy experience for you and your family. If you think that this may be the right breeder for you or if they meet all of our requirements , we encourage you open up your heart and home to one of their lovable pups. Your breeder should have a veterinarian they use and trust. The veterinarian should also do health screenings on the dogs in the kennel and provide routine care for them. There are some unethical breeders who are only interested in making a profit. Some warning signs that you may be dealing with an unethical breeder include: They are not willing to provide references from past customers. They do not health test their parent dogs for genetic diseases. They do not vaccinate or deworm their puppies. They do not have a good veterinarian they use. If you notice any of these red flags, we encourage you to walk away and find a different breeder. German Shepherds make great pets and should only come from a responsible breeder. Asking the breeder about what they know will help you make an informed decision about your dog. The breeder should be willing to share any health tests they have done on the parent dogs, including hip scores and elbow certifications. They should also know if their breeding stock suffers from any genetic illnesses or hereditary problems. Make sure that all of your electrical cords are put away and inaccessible to your puppy. Have a safe place for the puppy to sleep, like a crate or dog bed. Stock up on food, water bowls, toys, and other supplies. Make sure that all family members are prepared to handle training and obedience commands. Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to get your new puppy checked out and vaccinated. Be prepared to devote at least 30 minutes each day to exercising and training your new pet. With the right preparation, you and your family can enjoy years of companionship with this wonderful breed. Always take your puppy outside immediately after waking up, eating, drinking water, playing, and resting. Once outside, give your pup about minutes to go potty. Take them outside every 30 minutes or so until they start going potty on their own after only a couple of minutes out there. This will let them know what they are supposed to do while they are still young enough to be easily trained. Puppy Obedience Training Puppy obedience training is also very important and should start as soon as you bring your new pet home. Make sure to use positive reinforcement when teaching your pup basic commands like sit, stay, come, and down. Start with simple commands and then move on to more difficult ones as your puppy masters the basics. With a little bit of hard work, you can have a well-behaved German Shepherd that will be a cherished member of your family for years to come. I love animals and love helping people adopt a pet.

Prices for Labrador Retrievers may be influenced by several things. Expect some to be more expensive than others because these canines are grown and raised differently by each breeder. The following are some typical elements that influence the price of a Labrador Retriever puppy. Physical Appearance The yellow Labrador Retriever often commands a more excellent price than the chocolate or black Lab. Labrador Retrievers are available in various hues, including red, yellow, black, chocolate, and Dudley. They can also be categorized as English or American Labradors; the latter is the more reasonably priced canine. Due to their different uses, American Labradors are more commonly employed for fieldwork, whereas English Labs are primarily utilized as show dogs. Click here to learn more. Purebred puppies sprung from a show championship bloodline are unavoidably more expensive than a Lab puppy of pet quality, even though this has little influence on their ability to be loving companions. Although younger canines will cost more, you will get to enjoy them while they are still puppies. On the other hand, an older dog will likely be calmer and cost less money but may have behavioral problems that need to be addressed. Training A puppy will cost more than the usual price if the breeder has previously trained it. Raising a well-behaved dog is also more likely a result. Different breeds require different amounts of sleep, but how much sleep do Labradors need? Even though it is more expensive, this is a better and more ethical choice than purchasing a dog from a backyard breeder or a puppy factory. If you want your puppy to have this certification, be prepared to pay more for a Labrador Retriever. Health Health problems can arise in Labrador Retrievers. The most frequent conditions are progressive retinal atrophy, which causes blindness, hip dysplasia, and elbow dysplasia. Therefore, you should always ask the breeder if they have checked the parents for hip, elbow, or eye issues before purchasing a Labrador puppy. The cost of the puppy will be lower if the pedigree has a history of hip or elbow dysplasia. A reputable breeder will provide health records and certificates for both parents. The puppy will be protected from inheriting progressive retinal atrophy and will have a higher likelihood of having healthy hips and elbows. Because unskilled owners misunderstand how much exercise these working dogs require and cannot exhaust them, American Labradors are more likely to wind up in shelters. An English Lab is unusual to come across at a shelter. That is because they are show dogs and frequently have more seasoned owners. They are also much less energetic, making them a good choice for young families searching for their first dog. Although labs are generally calm and easygoing, a rescue Labrador may not be the best choice for new parents. They may require special attention and instruction because of behavioral problems brought on by previous neglect. Other Factors In general, service dog-trained Labrador Retriever puppies cost much more than regular Lab puppies. An assistance dog must undergo considerable training, which adds significant expenses to its upbringing. To avoid unforeseen costs, ask the breeder specific questions about what is included in the bill. How Much Is a Labrador Puppy? This becomes particularly true if the Lab puppy you intend to buy comes from a line of champions. Labrador Retrievers are a friendly, devoted breed that gets along well with kids. Additionally, labs are very clever, driven, and simple to teach. They are, therefore, excellent dogs for new owners. Particularly in America, it is not difficult to discover Labrador pups for sale. A Labrador can be adopted in various ways, including from dog shelters and breeders. For instance, there are several blends, colors, and types of labs. Click here to find out.

When you purchase from a reputed breeder, you also increase your chances of receiving a healthy puppy. They prepare to move to a permanent home when they are eight weeks old. Before this age, no Chocolate Lab should be sold. Make sure the breeder you choose to get your puppy from is reputable. Avoid puppy mills and pet retailers when purchasing pups at all costs. You must be prepared to pay a little bit more if you want a Silver Lab or charcoal or Champagne. Despite their growing numbers, they are still uncommon, particularly in the UK. This fact has led some people to conclude that breeders only chose to breed this uncommon gene for this purpose. Prices will probably decrease as they grow more widespread, but they might never get to the point where they are comparable to regular labs that adhere to AKC rules.

The breeder should normally give you the papers of both parents of your Lab puppy so you can register him with the AKC. Both parents should already be registered with the AKC as well. Some breeders fail to register the parents in the AKC or simply choose not to do so, but they continue breeding anyway. This gives you a good idea of the genetic and physical conditions you should be expecting or not expecting from your puppy. It may seem that purchasing a lab puppy without papers is a good bargain. Initially, it definitely seems like it. However, your puppy may or may not develop some health issues as he grows up. You may end up paying much more money than you saved when initially buying the Lab puppy. The AKC registration ensures that any participating dog is a perfect example of its breed. The decision is yours in the end but we recommend against it. For one, having a pedigree is important to make sure that your puppy has healthy parents and grandparents. Secondly, many issues could happen during the breeding process which could cause health problems for the puppy. With that in mind, you can rest assured that a registered Lab puppy is often a healthy one. The AKC even provides a day trial of pet insurance once you register your puppy with them. Unpredictability is the main issue with the absence of papers. You may end up with a perfectly healthy puppy that develops no health conditions at all. However, the chances of that happening are unlikely. It should be no different for your dog. But you need to help him. The Ultimate Guide to Dog Health is the answer.

The costs will be a bit higher at first while you get your dog the shots it requires and pay for the frequent visits to the vet. We also recommend getting your dog spayed or neutered unless you are a professional breeder, and it might even be required as part of your contract if you purchase from a breeder. Once your dog is an adult, it will not require as many vet visits and will only need booster shots every few years, so the average monthly costs will be much lower. Experts recommend getting all of the shots, but your dog is only legally required to get the rabies shot. We recommend purchasing a high-quality brand with real meat like chicken, turkey, or salmon listed as the first ingredient. The protein in meat will help build muscle and provide the energy your dog needs to stay healthy. High protein diets will also help your dog stay full longer, and it will be less likely to come looking for food. Foods with corn as the top ingredient are mostly empty calories that will leave your pet feeling hungry and looking for more food, potentially causing it to become obese. During the shedding seasons of spring and fall, you will likely need to increase the brushing to several times a week to help keep the fur off your furniture and floor. Professional grooming can also help with teeth brushing and nail clipping. This medication can also help prevent heartworm. Spot Pet Insurance offers customizable plans that you can adapt to your breed's specific needs. Many people forgo pet insurance, but it can be a great way to protect yourself from a huge expense while making sure your Labrador Retriever has the best healthcare possible. Accidents and serious illnesses can occur at any time, and many procedures can cost thousands of dollars which makes the price of insurance more than worth it, especially if you get it while your dog is still a puppy. It can chew up stuffed animals quickly, so they can get expensive, but there are plenty of options for a chewing dog, like the Lab. Another option is to purchase a subscription to a monthly service like the Bark Box that sends your dog new toys and activities for as long as you keep up your subscription. A full-grown dog only requires food and flea and tick medication to stay healthy, a few toys to play with, and treats here and there. Additional Costs to Factor In If you like to go on long vacations, you might need to factor in the additional costs of traveling with a dog. Many rental cars do not allow pets or will charge you extra, and the same is true for hotels. Owning a Labrador Retriever on a Budget Your Labrador Retriever will be relatively inexpensive once you get the medical things out of the way. A high-quality food may seem more expensive, but it will help keep your dog full so that it will eat less. Image Credit: Pixel-Shot, Shutterstock Saving Money on Labrador Retriever Care The best way to save money on healthcare when raising your Labrador Retriever is to keep it a healthy weight by following portion recommendations on the food you serve and by helping them get enough exercise. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues that can shorten the lifespan of your pet. After the initial cost of the puppy , you will need to pay a few hundred dollars to get it spayed or neutered and get the shots it needs. After that, you will only need to provide food and shelter with the occasional booster shot. We hope you have enjoyed reading over this guide, and that it has helped answer your questions.

You can put off spending on these things until the budget allows. However, give some serious thought to investing in an emergency fund, as this would take a big worry off your mind in case of any unexpected trips to the vet.

Unraveling the Cost of Labrador Retriever Puppies: Factors, Considerations, and Responsible Ownership Introduction Labrador Retrievers are renowned for their friendly disposition, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty, making them one of the most popular dog breeds worldwide. In this article, we delve into the various elements that influence the price of a Labrador Retriever puppy and shed light on responsible adoption practices. Breeder Reputation and Lineage The reputation of the breeder plays a significant role in determining the cost of a Labrador Retriever puppy. Reputable breeders invest time, effort, and resources to produce healthy, well-socialized, and genetically sound puppies. They conduct thorough health screenings, genetic testing, and ensure responsible breeding practices, which inevitably contribute to higher costs. Additionally, if the puppy comes from champion bloodlines or possesses exceptional traits, the price may increase accordingly. Health Guarantees and Vaccinations Reputable breeders often provide health guarantees for their Labrador puppies. These guarantees ensure that the puppy is free from genetic health issues and other significant ailments. Vaccinations are also a vital aspect of responsible breeding, as they protect the puppy from common canine diseases. The cost of these health assurances and initial vaccinations is factored into the overall price of the puppy. Pedigree and Show Potential Labrador Retrievers with exceptional pedigrees and show potential often come with a higher price tag. Show-quality puppies, which have the potential to excel in conformation shows and competitions, are bred with meticulous attention to detail, which contributes to their increased cost. Coat Color The coat color of a Labrador Retriever puppy can influence its price. While black and yellow Labradors are more common, chocolate Labradors are relatively rarer, leading to a potential price difference between the coat colors. Geographic Location The cost of a Labrador Retriever puppy can vary depending on the geographical location. Puppies in high-demand areas or regions with a limited number of reputable breeders might come at a premium compared to areas with a surplus of available puppies. Responsible Pet Ownership Responsible pet ownership is a commitment and privilege that entails providing the best possible care and love for our animal companions. It goes beyond merely meeting their basic needs; it involves understanding their unique requirements, ensuring their health and well-being, and fostering a strong and lasting bond. Responsible pet owners prioritize regular veterinary check-ups, proper nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation to ensure their pets lead happy and fulfilling lives. They also invest time in training and socialization, promoting good behavior and ensuring their pets become well-adjusted members of society. Beyond individual care, responsible pet ownership also means being considerate of others, keeping pets on leashes in public spaces, and cleaning up after them. By demonstrating empathy, commitment, and compassion towards our pets, responsible ownership creates an environment where both humans and animals can thrive harmoniously. Conclusion The cost of a Labrador Retriever puppy can vary significantly depending on various factors, including breeder reputation, health guarantees, coat color, and pedigree. Alternatively, consider adoption as a compassionate way to give a loving home to a Labrador Retriever in need. A well-informed decision will ensure that you and your new furry friend embark on a rewarding journey together. Top rated products.

To all of the Labrador Breeders that for decades have stayed true to the English Labrador breed, we say thank you! Gene Wolfenbarger. How Much Does a Labrador Cost? And, this is just the upfront cost of the puppy. This includes the cost of food, veterinary bills, grooming, bedding, and so on. Labrador puppy costs depend on a few factors. Quality of the breeder Quality of the parent dogs Type of Labrador eg. For instance, puppy prices tend to be higher before Christmas, so buy a puppy in the spring, instead. Originally, black Labs were favored above other colors. Brown and yellow Labs were extremely uncommon, and were not at all desirable. Over time, this opinion changed and brown and yellow Labs became more accepted. Shooting communities still tend to prefer the black Lab, but yellow Labs are very common in other working roles, like as therapy dogs and guide dogs. On the whole, each official Labrador color will cost a similar amount. But, yellow and brown Labs may cost slightly more than black Labs, since the genes that cause their coloring are recessive and therefore are less common. Non-Standard Colors Labrador costs can be hugely increased or reduced by non standard colors or patterns. For instance, dilute shades or mismarks. Dilute coloring is recessive and highly controversial in the Labrador community. The genes that cause these shades will dilute pigmentation, turning black Labs into charcoal Labs, chocolate Labs into silver Labs, and yellow Labs into champagne Labs. Some believe this color results from cross-breeding. But, others believe the recessive genes simply remained hidden over generations, like original yellow and chocolate coloring. Dilute colors are not accepted in the official breed standard. So, many breeders will not adjust their price, and may even lower it for unexpected dilute puppies. The same is the case with mismarks. Mismarks can include white patches and spots, brindling, and even tan markings. Extensive mismarks will disqualify a Lab from show. Show type Labs are bred to fit the Labrador breed standard. They are usually slightly stockier and less active than field types. Field types are more often bred for their working ability than for any specific appearance. Labradors cost more when they are bred to show standards. Field Labs tend to be cheaper than Labradors bred for show. But, you should consider which type is best for you, rather than just going for the cheapest Labrador you can find. Field type Labs can be much more energetic and active than show types. First time owners may find the English Lab slightly easier to raise and train! Conversely, Labrador costs can be highest with field trial champion bred dogs that are likely to win awards. Labrador Costs From Breeders vs Shelters Labrador puppies from reputable breeders will cost more than dogs from a rescue center. Whilst Labs from breeders can cost thousands of dollars, Labradors from rescue centers can only be a few hundred dollars. A major difference between Labs from a breeder and Labs from a rescue center is the history of the dogs. Puppies from a breeder will stay with their mom and siblings until 8 weeks old. At 8 weeks, puppies can go to their new home. Rescue center dogs can have unknown histories, or even histories that involve abuse. Labs from rescue centers are usually older, and have often lived with other families. However, many Labs are given up for non-behavioral reasons. They can be just as wonderful pets as puppies from a breeder. And, many dogs from rescue centers will have basic training, including house training, obedience, and potentially recall. Why Are Breeders So Expensive? Reputable breeders tend to cost more than any other puppy source. Breeders have to spend a lot when breeding a litter, and all of this will lower their profit margins. Labrador breeding costs include: Health testing and certificates. Your Labrador puppy will need a bed, collar, leash, poop bags, food bowls, food, treats, toys, grooming supplies, and a dog crate. It is important to get any dog licensed to avoid legal issues. Training Labrador Retrievers are easy to train and do not require professional training. But, some keepers choose to take their Lab to puppy school. Because they are highly motivated, Labradors also do great in agility training. This is also a great way for them to use up their energy. Owners can either build their own agility course or pay to put their dog in agility classes. Vet Fees and Insurance One of the most expensive parts of owning a dog is all the vet visits. This includes all of their shots and monthly checkups. A way to help reduce the cost of veterinary bills is through buying pet insurance. It is best to start paying for a pet insurance policy when your Labrador is a puppy. Senior dogs are more expensive to cover since they are more likely to develop health problems. Food When it comes to feeding a Labrador, they are not cheap. Labradors eat a lot of food. They are medium to large-sized dogs and weigh around 70 pounds. These prices are based on feeding a high quality kibble. Wet food can easily cost several hundred dollars more. Backyard Breeders One important thing every potential owner should remember is to avoid backyard breeders and pet shops. It is true that these places sell dogs for a much lower price. But, that does not mean they will be cheaper over their lifespan. Backyard breeders do not screen their dogs to determine if they have inheritable health problems. This results in Lab puppies being born that are more likely to develop health issues such as hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy. These breeders also do not provide proper veterinary care for their puppies. Many are sold while having worms or fleas and having received no socialization. Ethical Labrador breeders ensure their breeding stock is screened and their puppies are healthy and socialized before placing them into their new homes. Labrador Retrievers can develop diseases of the eye. The form of this disease that is very common is Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration. Caused by an inheritable genetic mutation, it ultimately leads to blindness. Screening will help to prevent you from buying a puppy that may become blind later on in life. Dogs with this disease will lose their sight between one and eight years of age. Hip and Elbow Scores Another health problem that Labradors are prone to is hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is a genetic skeletal disease that causes the hip joint to not form properly. This results in the femur grinding against the hip causing deterioration and loss of function. Many Labradors with this condition end up having to undergo surgery to reduce pain and regain function in their hips. The average hip score for a Labrador retriever is 12, so any score below that is considered good. Ideally, good breeders will only breed dogs with hip scores under .This will prevent you from purchasing a Labrador puppy that will require expensive surgery later on in its life. Purpose American Labradors are best suited for active families. Families that enjoy activities such as swimming, running, and hiking. They are great for families with older children who can engage and play with them more. American Labs would also do best with owners who can dedicate more time to them because they require a lot of exercise every day. People who work from home or part time would be ideal. English Labradors would make great pets for quieter families because they have a calmer personality. They are also gentler and would do well with a family that has young children. Since they are less active, they are suitable for a busier family who has less time to exercise them. Their docile, patient attitude also makes them excellent candidates to be service dogs so they would be a great dog for people who need one in their life. Summary The price of a Labrador can vary depending on if you get one from a breeder or rescue. Its color, pedigree and health will also influence the price. All Labradors are prone to health conditions such as progressive retinal atrophy and hip or elbow dysplasia. Make sure the breeder screens for these health conditions before breeding. This will help to ensure your puppy is healthy. The cost to keep a Labrador healthy, exercised and happy can get pricey. But, if an owner has done their research and prepared themselves, then Labradors make an excellent addition. What Lab do you prefer? American, English, or mixed? Let us know! He has spent decades training working dogs and spends most of his spare time studying, reading and learning about their behavior and welfare. Outside of Marvelous Dogs, he enjoys trail running and agility work with his working Labrador Retriever. You May Also Like.

Former RAF sergeant Uriah 'Hughie' Jones was kissing his future wife goodnight at her parents' home when he was blasted through a window by drunken Percy Brownsea who claimed he only intended to frighten the couple and not harm them. Jones, 29, died from head and neck injuries and was buried five days later at Hollybrook Cemetery, Southampton. The year-old woodcutter was charged with murder, prosecutor Ewen Montagu submitting at his trial at Hampshire Assizes: "This was a deliberate shooting motivated by the blind jealousy of a man who had been thrown over after a long and passionate love affair. Brownsea lived about 20 minutes walk away from her converted army hut home and they had known each other since .They became lovers and she wrote a series of passionate letters to him, one declaring: "My dearest darling and loving husband-to-be. She sold the ring because he would not take it back and gave him the cash. Sheen had fallen for Jones who, after the war, ran a flourishing sand and gravel business in Southampton. Friendship ripened into love and they spent Christmas with his family talking excitedly of their plans, unaware the increasingly embittered Brownsea had borrowed a. That fateful New Year's Eve, he wrote two letters to Sheen, pleading to see her in the desperate hope they could be reconciled. She agreed but firmly told him she was in love with Jones and would marry him the following day. Remarkably, he kept his feelings to himself because he later joined the couple at a pub where locals remembered the atmosphere was friendly as they amicably chatted. At closing time, Jones even drove Brownsea home before returning to Breen's home in the hamlet of Sixpenny Handley, Dorset, where they discussed the final wedding arrangements, as Brownsea's mood darkened. Armed with the shotgun, he walked up her drive and clambered onto a five-foot high bank behind the house where he could peer through the windows. What then happened was described by EG Robey who was appearing for the Director of Public Prosecutions at the committal proceedings: "They had put an arm around each other to say goodnight and as their lips met, the deceased received no less than 68 pellets to the right hand side of his neck and head which killed him almost instantly. Miss Sheen suffered nine scattered wounds to the right side of her face. Instead, they vainly searched for Brownsea. However, within hours, police arrested him and recovered the shotgun. Before being charged with murder, he told detectives: "I had a lot of beer and was not sober. I decided to go for a walk and took the gun with me. I walked to within five yards of Miss Sheen's house and stood on the bank. The lights were on but I didn't see anyone in the house. Not being sober, I put the gun to fire through both windows, not intending to harm but frighten them, and I fired the gun. I walked back the same way I had come. I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anyone as we were pals. Citing jealousy, Robey submitted: "His fire was held until the psychological moment when these people were kissing each other goodnight. Of the shooting, she recalled: ""We were kissing and the next thing I knew we were hit by something. We both rolled onto the floor. I can remember, as his head hit me in the chest, he said 'Oh dear, Beat. As soon as I got there, I turned and saw no one in the house and I fired through both windows. I suddenly realised I had done something foolish and went straight home.

Crate Size for Pugs Our recommended crate size for a Pug is a 22 or 24 inch dog crate. Pugs are adaptable dogs, so getting either size will be fine. Some owners purchase the 30 inch and their Pug seems to love the extra space. It really depends on how much space you have in the house. On the other hand, a 24 inch would fit most bigger, male Pugs. However, we based our picks on factors that include, affordability, durability, functional features and quality. Not only are they excellent for Pugs, but nearly all dog breeds. It has all the best features at an affordable price. Best Features Make no mistake, Midwest Homes is a very reputable company. They make fantastic cages, crates, kennels for all types of pets. As a result, you can expect a quality dog crate as well. They really put their focus on dog safety, which we love.

A removable plastic trays allows you to quickly clean up any mess your Pug make during their housebreaking phase. Simply slide the tray out, clean it up and slide it back in. Double doors are a nice option because it allows multiple access points to your dog and whatever you decide to put in the crate. If you want to learn more about the Midwest Homes iCrate, check it out on Amazon. The consensus is, the iCrate does its job — very well. And as expected from the giant e-commerce company, the Amazon Basics dog crate is a top option for Pug owners. The main difference is in the exterior cosmetics. Midwest Homes, as well as many other crate companies, use this locking mechanism too! Fortunately, the Amazon Basics does. The Amazon Basics also comes with a divider panel. If you plan to travel frequently with your Pug, then the ability to collapse your crate into a compact carrier is a great feature to have. The prices between the two will vary, but we gave the iCrate the slight edge because of proven longevity on the market. Having a thicker frame would be nice but not necessary at all for a Pug. It would be a completely different story if you had a Pit Bull or Boxer , though. If you want to learn more about the Amazon Basics dog crate, you can check it out at Amazon. What Pug Owners are Saying One Pug owner said that he found what seems like the exact same dog crate at his local PetSmart for more than double the price. But is it really a surprise that Amazon is able to create the same product for much less? Another Pug owner says that it was very easy to clean and set up. Plus his energetic Pug has no chance of escaping the crate! Other owners recommend getting the 30 inch, as it provides much more room and makes it that much more enjoyable for the Pugs. Still, it ranked third on our list because it lacks some features that we love. Find out why thousands of happy Amazon customers have chosen the New World dog crate. Best Features The New World metal dog crate is made with, you guessed it, high quality metal. Speaking of transportation, the New World crate also comes with a foldable design. The New World is also equipped with a removable plastic tray, as it should. The tray safely secures to the bottom of the crate and can easily slide out for quick cleaning. To keep your Pug safely secured in the enclosure, a dual slide bolt latch is used. Why reinvent the wheel when it works so well? A big plus for even the best Pug escape artists.

Associating the outdoors with emptying of bowels will make it very easy for your dog to control its urge to pass urine or defecate whilst in the crate. Involvement When there is a lot of activity going on around the house, people tend to put the dog in another room to avoid disturbance from the dog.

Leaving a dog in the outdoors makes it begin to exhibit some problem behaviors such as digging and barking which are caused by its isolation. Now that you have appreciated the importance of a dog crate, it is time to get down to business and choose the best one for your dog. Number If you travel a lot with your dog or if your dog needs a bigger crate due to its size, you can get more than one. You can leave one in your car for use during traveling and have another crate in the house which your dog can use when it is indoors. In this way, you will do away with the need to carry huge crates in and out of the house each time you want to travel with your dog. Purpose The reason behind getting a crate will influence the type of crate that you will buy. If you plan on using the crate mainly indoors, you can opt for a decorative one which does not have to be mobile. If you wish to use the crate as a means of travel for your dog, look for something portable. It is advisable that you seek the help of a professional trainer who will help you make the right decision when it comes to your dog. If you travel with your dog a lot, look for a crate which is easy to break down, light in weight and one that does not take up much space in the car. Soft crates are the best for use during travel and you should look for crates that will protect your dog in the case of a car crash. This is also useful in the case where you plan on taking a flight with your dog. Many soft-sided and plastic kennels are approved for use by airlines but you should check with the airline you wish to use to confirm the specifics of air approved crates for your dog's size. Doors Crates come in a single door, double door and triple door models. They each have their benefits and are suitable for particular needs. For example, a single door folding crate is an affordable option if you have a good spot for the crate that only requires a single entry. If your chosen area for the crate needs a side door configuration, the double door is an excellent choice. Finally, when training puppies or extra small dogs, it is often useful to have multiple door openings to tend to your puppy's every need. Chewing For dogs with a tendency to chew or anxious dogs, do not use a soft crate which they can chew through. Opt for a more durable, heavy duty product such as a plastic crate which can withstand the effects of chewing. However, there are dogs which can be really destructive and you should monitor your dog care within the first few weeks of crating in order to tell whether it can chew through the crate material or not. Having a distraction in the crate such as a toy or some dry dog food or treats can help reduce the amount of chewing. Choosing the right size reduces anxiety in dogs and makes them chew on the crate sides less. Storage Soft-sided and wire dog crates are very easy to set up and break down and are great choices if you do not plan to use the crate a lot. Plastic dog crates are harder to set up and break down and can be used if you have adequate room for storage. The temperature in the area where you live will have an effect on your choice of a crate. For hot places, go for a wire crate as this will allow air circulation, keeping your dog cool. To protect your dog from the sun, you can place a towel on top of the crate and you can have a fan installed in the crate for added cooling. If you live in a cold area, go for a plastic crate which prevents your dog from catching a cold. The size of your crate will also affect the ease of storage and you should take that into consideration. Duration If you plan on crating your dog for a small amount of time as you run a few errands, you can use a soft-sided crate. However, since these types of crates can easily be broken out of, you should opt for a wire crate or a plastic dog crate if you plan to leave the dog unattended for a long period of time. It takes a few minutes for a determined dog to break free from a soft-sided crate so should you choose to get one, be sure to monitor your dog. Types of Dog Crates Your choice of crate will be dependent on factors such as its purpose, the size of your pet, the nature of your dog, and the amount of time that your dog will spend in the crate. Soft-Sided Crates These types of crates are made of soft mesh material or a material with similar features to mesh.

Introduction Pugs are renowned worldwide. It is one of the most recognizable breeds and for good reason. Not all dog lovers realize this amazing breed's rich history. It started in BC when the Lao-Tse era began, which makes pugs one of the oldest breeds today. Usually, people think this dog is a cross breed of a tiny bulldog or a small representation of a French Mastiff. In the past, only Tibetan monasteries and the imperial family were allowed to keep Pugs as a pet. They are best thought of as companions. Being a good friend of the owner is the best thing about the Pug. They also love an abundance of attention and affection. As with most pets, they will be unhappy if left untreated and ignored. On the contrary, they are comical, playful, and curious in nature. Their temperament is primarily affected by many factors. When it comes to socialization, Pugs need to be introduced to people as soon as possible. Exposure to many types of people is good for them during their earlier years. Appearance Pugs are widely recognized due to their appearance. They have prominent eyes and small teeth. Their muzzle is black and short. The tail is curled and puny. The body of this dog is quite thick and sturdy. The name derives from a pugilist or boxer. As the Pug matures, the dog will develop a muscular top. Males usually grow up to 14 inches in height. Their weight varies from 14 to 21 pounds. Females are smaller and have a height of around 12 inches with their weight coming in around 14 to 17 pounds. This may lead to obesity and health problems if left unmonitored. In order to keep them healthy, the owner must get a balanced diet. The main challenge is controlling the way and amount that they eat. In this case, they are encouraged to consult the experts or breeders to get further insight. Homemade dog food is also recommended. The combination of vegetables and meat is good. Still, people should consult the vet before experimenting with it. As each dog's needs are unique, their diet may need to be monitored by professionals to ensure their body is processing the necessary nutrients. The water should be warm. A sink is also a good choice to bathe Pugs. During the first time, it will be difficult to introduce the dog to the sink as it needs to develop trust and the owner should take care, in the beginning, to provide comfort to their pet. To clean a Pug's fur, a mild dog shampoo is the best choice. Exercise A traditional method to keep Pugs active is simple dog walking. To keep the Pug in optimal health, walks should occur on a daily basis. This may also have the added benefit of contributing to the good posture of its body and a strong supporting muscle composition. It also helps counter weight gain attributed to the Pug's tendency to overeat. Adequate exercise also reduces the risk of heart disease in both the Pug and it's owner!

How to measure your dog for crate size A lot of the crate size guides that you will see show recommendations based on the weight of a dog. However, when selecting the proper crate for your dog, the size matters more that the weight. The best way to measure this dog is with a simple tape measure. The two measurements that are important are height and length of your dog. How to measure the height of your dog Have your dog sit on the floor and face upward. This could be the forehead, nose or ears, depending on the dog. To be even more confident that your measurement is right, you can also measure your dog standing. Measure from the top of the head or ears if higher to the ground, just like you did when sitting. Take whichever of the two measurements is higher. When you have this height, add three to six inches to make sure that you are leaving enough room for your dog to be comfortable. You can think of this height as the minimum, but you should not be concerned if the crate is slightly taller. If you are on the border between two sizes, go with the larger one. How to measure the length of your dog Measuring length of your dog for a crate is both a measurement and a calculation. Measure your pet from the tip of the note to the base of the tail do not include the tail, regardless of type of dog. This is the height when the dog is standing from the floor to the elbow joint many people think of it as an armpit. Add the first measurement full length to one half of the second measurement arm length and that will give you your length. The reason for this is that when the pet is laying down, it can stick its arms or paws out beyond the standing length of its body. If you prefer, you can just add inches to the full length rather than measuring the legs and calculating it. Tips for measuring your dog for a crate A few tips and tricks for measuring your dog include: If your dog has a thick tail that will swing around in the cage, you can consider adding a portion of it to the length just to create a little bit of extra space. Use a soft tape measure like those used for measuring human clothing as opposed to a rigid household tape measure. This will irritate your dog less when measuring. This quick video from Chewy.

There is usually a base made of hard plastic or metal which is easy to remove and clean if needed. There are a few simple options with these kinds of product. The first is whether you have a two-door or one door dog crate. The two-door gives you more flexibility — they have one door at the front of the crate and one at the side. For those with limited space where the crate will always be in the same place, a single door will suffice. Most dog crates of this kind are foldable which makes them easier to transport. This is perfect if you are going to be using the crate indoors as well as in your car. Some models, however, can be a little tricky to collapse so always check the reviews before buying to see if there are any problems.

They are strong and fairly sturdy while still giving plenty of visibility. There are other options other than the traditional wire dog crate. Soft crates have the advantage of being a little more lightweight and the frame can either be metal or plastic. The rest of the crate is made up of soft material. Travel crates are specifically designed for transporting a pug from one location to another over a short time. They are not dens or places of sanctuary where your dog will spend a lot of time.

Some crates come with additional features such as more doors, clips for holding water bowls and doggy seat belts. Whether you need any of these will depend on your pug and what your preferences are. Some pug owners go for more than one type of dog crate. They have one in the home which is more spacious and a separate, smaller one for transportation. Some dogs have a docile temperament and are easy to teach. Others can be a little nervy and frightened of the enclosed space. Pugs can be enticed into your dog crate using treats: Sit next to the crate with your dog and place some tasty treats near the entrance. Next, put the treats further back in the crate so that your pug goes directly inside. Once they get used to doing this and are happy to settle down and sit for a while, start moving away, a little at a time. The idea is to be able to leave your pug in the cage and move into another room without them following you. Another way to settle them might be to put their favourite toy inside. Once they have begun to get used to their new space you can start closing the door and leaving it for a little while. You can be reasonably firm but be attuned to when your dog has had enough for the day. Training can take a few hours for some pugs, days and even weeks for others. They will quickly learn to associate the cage with fun and getting out and about. A few treats in the crate to start with will make things even easier. A favourite blanket or cushion should soon solve this problem. Creating a cosier place for your dog to settle, with a blanket will make a big difference in how quickly you can train them to use it regularly. Wire crates are open all around but you can make it a more private place by simply draping a blanket over the top. The reason for this is that they will quickly associate the space with something negative, which means they will try to avoid it as much as possible. For example, avoid busy places where there is a lot of footfall or excitement. If you are using the dog crate for a longish journey, encourage your pug to go to the toilet before you set off. The last thing you want is an unhappy accident. If the journey is a long one, stop at regular intervals to give them the chance to do their business. The door should be open and the dog allowed to come and go as they please. Pugs can be a little on the nervous side especially at night. Somewhere close to the bedroom or even next to the bed may be best if you have a pooch that is likely to suffer from separation anxiety. Summary Because pugs are relatively small, there are a wide variety of different dog crates you can buy online nowadays. Your final choice is going to depend on what you want to use the crate for. If you are intending it to be an inhouse kennel, a wire crate is ideal and comes in different sizes. Taking time to look at your options is essential when buying any dog crate. Get it right and you should expect your dog crate to last a lifetime. Marko Geek Full time writer. Marko has worked with animals all his life and divides his time between dog care and web design.
