rochester mn golden retriever puppies
She is very good with children of all ages, is generally ok with other large dogs off lead but will pull and bark at them when on lead and currently lives with 6 cats. She loves people and does get very excited and will jump up. She does not like being left alone for too long and will bark and howl. Summer is not getting enough exercise or attention at the moment which is why she is being rehomed, as she is very energetic. Boredom has led her to become a bit of an escape artist. Summer just needs an experienced family that can give her the exercise and socialisation with other dogs she needs. Tigger - Essex This gorgeous little girl was picked up as a stray. She is approximately 8 months old and a little underweight. She has the most super temperament and the kennels staff describe her as being very sweet. She has obviously not been socialised with other dogs which will need some work. Needs an experienced owner to teach her the boundaries and give her the training she needs. A super home wanted for this super little girl who should never have been put in this situation! Rebel - Middlesex Rebel is an 8 year entire male. He would not be rehomed with children and whilst he lived with a Jack Russell, he is not good with other dogs. Rebel currently lives with his elderly female owner and is very protective for her so will bark aggressively at strangers. Rebel has never been off lead and likes playing ball. Being rehomed as his owner cannot exercise him anymore. She is good with children but very excitable so we would rehome her with older children only. Laura is usually fine with other large dogs but does have the occasional fight with the Rottie cross she lives with. She does love happily with a cat. Laura definitely needs some training which she has not had to date and would benefit from an experienced owner to set her boundaries and give her the stimulation a dog of this age needs. Both boys are 2 and neutered. They are good with children of all ages. Neither dogs have been socialised with other dogs outside of their home so this will need some time investment. No cats as they will chase. Rossi and Jed have the most super temperament with people and these big, bouncy boys would fit into a family home who could give them the exercise and training dogs of this age need. They can be rehomed together or separately. Jake - Essex This poor fellow is 9 years and crossed with a lab we believe. He is neutered. Jake was raised on a farm and taken in by his current owner when about 2. He is very friendly with people. He was living with his elderly owner and another dog but his elderly owner has sadly passed away and his friend died a couple of weeks ago. He is unknown with children and other dogs outside of the home. Family members who are caring for him work very long hours and this poor chap just needs a home with some company where he will get the exercise and attention he needs. Jake loves his walks which he will need a lot of to lose that tum and will be a loyal companion in return. Max - Kent Max is a 7 year entire male. He has met children of all ages but due to his nervousness at present we would not rehome him with children. Max can get overexcited when meeting other dogs as he has not been properly socialised but is not aggressive to them. This lovely lad needs a confident and experienced home to re-establish his trust in people and the world, as at present he is too scared to walk further than the end of his road. He bonds better with women and patience is a must. His owner left the marital home and her ex partner is now having to move to a flat where he cannot take Max. Have you got what it takes? Codi - Kent Cody is a 6 year neutered male. This poor lad is very misunderstood. The owners say he is not good with children or other dogs and has reacted badly to them both on occasion when restraining him or touching him unexpectedly. Cody has only ever been walked on lead and has never been properly trained or socialised, therefore it has been a vicious circle of owners being apprehensive and dog reacting. In the right hands and with an experienced and confident owner we feel this lovely boy would become an excellent, loyal and loving companion. Are you that special person? Bhindi -Bucks Bindi is a 5yr old unspayed female who just loves to play ball. Although she lived with two other German Shepherds — her mother and grandmother — she is said not to be good with other dogs. She has no experience of cats or young children but has bonded quickly with a teenage boy who has been looking after her in recent months at the kennels she has been staying at. Bindi has got an underactive thyroid, for which she is on medication, but would probably bond easily with a new owner willing simply to play ball. Sabre - Kent This handsome lad is 6 year entire Sabre. Sabre is not keen on young children the reason he is being rehomed or cats but is good with other dogs and lives happily with 3 others. He can be nervous of strangers so needs a confident and experienced owner to set the boundaries and put him on the right track. Sabre does pull on the lead and will benefit from some training but our volunteer found him eager to learn when taken out. Ben - London Ben is a 5-year-old handsome chap who is not doing very well in his current home. He lives with a very vulnerable family with ill health, hence he thinks he needs to protect them from the world. His owners can't handle his protectiveness which comes across as aggression towards visitors. Ben is also strong and all these factors together result is him not getting sufficient amount of exercise and socialisation. He is brilliant with his family though - once he gets to know you, he'll give you all his heart. Ben is looking for an experienced, confident owner who will give Ben clear rules, good amount of walks, opportunity to socialise in a safe manner with dogs and people and first and foremost, wise leadership as we are sure Ben is really tired of his position of a household protector, which he thinks is his job! Ben is very good in the house environment - housetrained and without any signs of separation anxiety. He cannot be rehomed with cats or children though. Are you this special person who is looking for a proper German Shepherd with breed-typical qualities? Ben is waiting for you! Tasha - Surrey Tasha is a 4 year unspayed bitch. She is good with children of all ages and most dogs. She has never lived with cats. Tasha is good with people coming into her home but can be a little overprotective when on the lead. She loves to play with her ball and going for long walks. This poor girl is not getting the exercise or training she needs at present and will make a fabulous dog for somebody prepared to give her the time she deserves. Harvey - Berks Harvey is a 7 year entire male. He is good with older children and other dogs but unknown with cats. Harvey has not been given enough boundaries and is full of energy. Because of his jumping up at strangers in the home the owner is now nervous he may become aggressive and is worried because her daughter is having a baby soon and he may not accept it. Our volunteer saw no signs of aggression, just a lovely boy who needed some discipline and guidelines and wanted attention. He can pull on the lead but otherwise is obedient. Khan - Essex Khan is nearly 4 and entire. He was wary of other dogs as he was bitten when younger but has been fine with dogs of all shape and sizes since being in foster. Khan is good in the house and travels well. Khan would be better in a home without children. We were told Khan is not good with cats but is living with 2 at present who do stand up for themselves. This lovely boy just needs an experienced home where he will be given some leadership and boundaries and in return will be a loyal and loving dog. Gemma- East Sussex Gemma is a year-old German Shepherd dog who has spent most of her life in a crate being bred from litter after litter. She deserves a forever home where she can at least spend the time she has remaining being loved and cared for as she should have had all these years. Despite being grossly overweight and having suspected tumours, she still somehow retains some zest for life and even loves a game of football. We know she does not have long left, but hope someone finds space in their heart and home to give this girl a belated Happy Ending. Buick - Essex Buick is 6 years and entire. We removed him from a home where he had lived since he was a pup. He had not been walked in 2 years, basically since their child had been born. When our volunteer arrived she was cheerfully told they had run out of food so we are not even sure when he last ate. He was certainly thirsty. Buick is now in kennels where he is quite nervous until he gets to know you more so with men and will show his teeth if unsure. This poor lad just needs a calm home that can give him back his confidence whilst setting the boundaries so that Buick understands that not all people are bad. Are you that special home? Enrique - Kent Enrique is a German Shepherd cross and about 8 years old. He was abandoned by a British family in Spain when they returned to the UK in .It was arranged for him to come over to the UK last year and he was homed. But after 7 months he could not settle as their other dog was wearing him out. Enrique is currently fostered by the kind people who arranged for him to come to England. He needs a peaceful home with no other dogs, cats or children, a home where he gets the love, attention and care he deserves. Enrique is suffering from Arthritis and only needs short walks. He is a real soft touch, craving for attention, therefore a home with someone being around all day would suit him best. Abbi - Kent Abbi is nearly 2 and spayed. She is good with children but not cats or other dogs. Abbi is a friendly girl who was an unwanted present! She is very friendly and loves her ball but can become possessive over it. This poor young lady has never been given the time to be shown her boundaries and would benefit from an experienced home without other pets, who have the time to work with her on socialising with other dogs outside of the home. Abbi does suffer from a pancreatic deficiency but this is totally manageable as long as she is kept on the right diet and with pancrex powders. Vinnie - Essex Vinnie is a 5 year old entire male. He is good with children but not other dogs. Whilst he has lived with 2 cats they did tend to stay upstairs! Vinnie is fine with people, will typically bark at new arrivals but quickly settles down. Vinnie loves playing with his ball and his obedience is fairly good. Only being rehomed due to his owner now having to work long hours. Kai - Hants This 5 year lad is entire Kai. He is good with children but very picky about dogs and not good with cats. Kai did live happily with another GSD bitch for a while. Kai was trained as a security dog but has never hurt anybody and is fine with visitors. Kai is off course lead trained and is only being rehomed due to owner now having to work full time meaning Kai is being left long hours on his own. Archie Archie is an 18 month neutered male. Archie is a nervous little boy which can come out in aggression. He is a real sweetie, walks nicely on the lead, likes to play ball will give it up, okay with food and toys, his recall is good. If he feels threatened he may nip. Takes treats nicely, Archie is not good with other dogs, especially small ones. He plays stepping stones with the slabs and into the kennel. When he goes out he trots by your side happily but is a bit spooked by noises and different sounds. Can you give this boy a stable, confident home? Zeus - Berks This young man will be 1 in April. Zeus is neutered and vaccinated. He is good with children and lives with a cat but not keen on other dogs but does live with 2. He has not much socialisation outside of the home however. Zeus has no recall, is still not fully housetrained and a heart murmur to add to his problems. Being rehomed as he is too much of a handful! Are you that very special home? Tara - Essex This gorgeous girl is Tara. She is nearly 5 and unspayed. Tara is going to need a very special and experienced home due to her past. She was never socialised properly with people or other dogs. When she was taken in by us she was suffering from severe nervousness and thanks to our very patient handlers in the kennels is turning out to be a super young lady. She is now walked by most of the staff but can become protective of her handler. She was very nervous of men but now loves Graham who runs the kennels. She is also quite relaxed with other dogs around so may be happy to live with an older placid dog who can help to continue build her confidence. We would not rehome Tara with children. Tara needs a calm, confident owner who is experienced with the breed, a home where there is not too much traffic and the more rural the better. Whoever meets Tara would need to be able to spend time with her at the kennels letting her get to know you. Iris Iris is an entire 6yr old female who was supposed to be a guard dog but the staff have spoilt her and now loves anyone she greets. When she has met them she can be a bit dominant as she gets anxious. She is well trained, knowing all the basic commands so in the right hands she would settle and would be a good family pet. As you can see from the photo she is over weight so needs a diet Tyson - Surrey Tyson is a 5 year old GSD cross Newfoundland - not sure which bit is Newfie!! He is entire. Tyson is good with children and other dogs, except his brother with whom he fights since their father died and the reason for him being rehomed. Tyson is an obedient lad and loves people. He is a big boy so would appreciate somewhere with a lot of space to play and someone who can give him lots of exercise. Taz - Southampton Taz is a 7 year neutered male. He is good with children but not really known with other dogs as he has not been socialised with them for about 3 years. .He is not good with cats! Taz is a very obedient lad. Taz is only being rehomed as his owner is having to move into rented accommodation. This gorgeous boy just needs a home that can give him some love. Rio - Kent Rio is nearly 1 and has been neutered and is a cross we think but with what we are unsure. He is good with children and cats but not other dogs apart from the staffie he lives with. He has never shown any aggression but still mouths when playing and is good when meeting strangers. Rio is good with basic commands but is too much for his owner to cope with out on walks as she cannot control him when there are other dogs about. This young lad just needs an experienced GSD home to give him the training and dog socialisation he needs. Angel - West Sussex Angel is a 6 year old unspayed bitch. She has become very protective of her female owner and her family but does have a problem with men. She has missed out on socialisation with people and other dogs so will need a very patient and confident owner. Her owner is now losing her home and Angel has nowhere to go. Can you help this poor girl? Amber - Essex Amber is an 8 year young spayed bitch. She has not lived with children but is fine with the current owners grandchildren of 2 years upwards. Chases the resident cat outside. Amber does not like other dogs so would need to be the only dog but she loves people. Her back legs are slightly arthritic but she could do with losing some weight and getting more regular exercise. Her elderly owner has died and she needs a retirement home to call her own. Simba - West Sussex Simba is an 8 year old spayed bitch. She is a loyal and trusting dog with people when she has sussed them out. Her basic commands are good and she is ok on the lead.

Received Apr 4; Accepted Jun .Associated Data The datasets generated and analysed during the current study are not publicly available due to their use in ongoing primary research but subsections may be made available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. However, concerns for the health and welfare of the GSD have been widely aired and there is evidence that breed numbers are now in decline in the UK. Accurate demographic and disorder data could assist with breeding and clinical prioritisation. This study included all VetCompassTM dogs under veterinary care during .Demographic, mortality and clinical diagnosis data on GSDs were extracted and reported. Results GSDs dropped from 3. The median longevity of GSDs was .The most common causes of death were musculoskeletal disorder .Aggression was more prevalent in males than in females. Over recent decades, breeding for characteristics deemed desirable in the show-ring have changed the physical shape of the GSD and there is now much debate about the health of the breed. VetCompassTM collects veterinary clinical data from first-opinion practices for research purposes. GSDs comprised 12, 2. Females were more likely to be neutered than males .The average age of the GSDs was 4. The popularity of GSDs dropped from 3. The average lifespan of GSDs overall was .The most common causes of death were joint disorders .Overall, .The most common disorders recorded were ear infections 7. Male dogs were more likely than female dogs to have aggression 6. This is the largest study to date to explore GSDs using first opinion veterinary clinical records and shows the power of these records to help understand and improve breed health in dogs. The demographic findings will be of interest to government, breed and kennel clubs, and commercial bodies to reliably understand the current and future status of the GSD breed. The decline in popularity of the GSD may reflect a general trend away from ownership of larger breeds and towards smaller breeds, but may also follow wide reporting of health issues within the GSD breed. Background Since the creation of the German Shepherd Dog GSD at the turn of the twentieth century, the breed has become one of the most populous dog breeds internationally and has been widely used for a variety of working roles including herding, guarding, police, military and guide-dog roles [ 1 ]. During this period, the phenotype of the GSD has changed considerably. Subsequent roles such as guarding and police work contributed to selective breeding for larger and more confident dogs [ 1 , 3 ]. Over recent decades, further selection towards characteristics deemed desirable in the show-ring have further altered the GSD conformation in show dogs to emphasise features such as a sloping croup that may be associated with altered physiological function [ 4 ]. By contrast, the GSD appears to be increasing in popularity in the US where the American Kennel Club reports that the GSD rose from the fourth most common registration in to the second most common in [ 8 ]. These varying demographic trends may in part reflect differing true and perceived health issues in the GSD breed between different countries. Concerns for the health welfare of the GSD have been widely aired [ 11 — 13 ]. Breed Watch points of concern include cow hocks, excessive turn of stifle, nervous temperament, sickle hock and weak hindquarters [ 15 , 16 ]. The GSD had the highest number of published predispositions to inherited diseases overall among the fifty most commonly registered KC breeds and had the second-highest number of disorders exacerbated by conformation, exceeded only by the Great Dane [ 9 ]. Individual disorders with reported predisposition in the GSD include hip dysplasia [ 17 , 18 ], haemangiosarcoma [ 19 ], exocrine pancreatic insufficiency [ 20 , 21 ], degenerative myelopathy [ 17 , 22 , 23 ], anal furunculosis [ 24 ] and lumbosacral disease [ 25 , 26 ]. Predisposition implies a higher relative risk compared with some other comparator. However, absolute and comparative prevalence data relating to the wider population within a specified geographical setting is required for a fuller understanding of disorder prioritisation within breeds [ 27 ]. Disorder information on Swedish GSDs derived from insurance claim data on 32, dogs reported the most common diagnoses claimed as pyometra, itching and lameness [ 28 ]. Although extremely useful, results from analyses of insurance data are nonetheless limited to the insured subset of the overall population, only including disorders with a cost that exceed the insurance excess and may be further constrained by excluded conditions and non-lifelong policy cover [ 29 ]. Primary-care veterinary clinical data have recently seen increased application as a secondary research resource to report on breed health in dogs [ 30 , 31 ]. Veterinary clinical data benefit from inclusion of all dogs under veterinary care and all disorders recorded regardless of treatment cost, as well as the reliability derived from their veterinary and contemporaneous diagnoses [ 32 ]. Periodontal disease, anal sac impaction and diarrhoea were reported as the most common disorders in a small subset of GSDs within a wider study that used primary-care veterinary clinical data to identify disorder prevalence in dogs overall [ 33 ]. However, these results were based on a small sample of just GSDs and the veterinary clinical practices were limited to central and south-eastern England. Accurate and generalisable data on the types and frequencies of common disorders in dog breeds are needed to provide guidance for research, breeding and clinical prioritisation [ 27 , 34 ]. Awareness of the frequency of disorders in the general population of dogs can assist to focus research towards the most common conditions in order to maximize the welfare gains while breeding programs can increasingly target selection decisions on disorders that result in maximal welfare detriment [ 35 , 36 ]. It has previously been reported that male dogs are more likely to be diagnosed with aggression than females [ 38 ]. This study hypothesised that the prevalence of aggression is higher in male than in female GSDs. Methods The study population included all dogs under primary veterinary care at clinics participating in the VetCompassTM Programme during .Dogs under veterinary care were defined as those with either a at least one electronic patient record EPR VeNom diagnosis term, free-text clinical note, treatment or bodyweight recorded during or b at least one EPR recorded both before and after .Collaborating practices can record summary diagnosis terms during episodes of care from an embedded VeNom Code list [ 39 ]. Data fields available for VetCompassTM researchers include species, breed, date of birth, sex, neuter status, insurance status and bodyweight, and clinical information from free-form text clinical notes and summary diagnosis terms VeNom codes , plus treatment and deactivation status with relevant dates. Deactivation date described the final date that the dog was under the care of the practice. Reasons for deactivation include dogs that had died or been rehomed, or where clients had moved practice or had been actively de-registered e. A cohort study design was used to estimate the one-year period prevalence of the most commonly diagnosed disorders in GSDs during [ 40 ]. Sample size calculations estimated that GSDs would need to be sampled to represent a disorder with a 3. All-age Bodyweight kg described all available bodyweight and date combinations regardless of age. Neuter described the status of the dog entire or neutered at the final EPR. Age described the age at the final date under veterinary care during at the study veterinary practice and was recorded at the earlier date of either December 31st, or the deactivation date. A random subset of all study GSDs were reviewed manually in detail to extract the most definitive diagnostic term recorded for each disorder that existed during and to manually link this to the most appropriate VeNom term as previously described [ 33 ]. Elective e. No distinction was made between pre-existing and incident disorder presentations. In the absence of a formally recorded clinical diagnostic term, disorders were included using the first presenting sign listed e. Mortality data recorded clinical cause, date and method of death were extracted on all deaths at any date during the available EPR data. The extracted diagnosis terms were mapped to two precision hierarchies for analysis: fine-level precision and grouped-level precision as previously described [ 33 ]. Briefly, fine-level precision terms retained the original extracted terms at the maximal diagnostic precision recorded within the clinical notes e. Grouped-level precision terms mapped the original diagnosis terms to a general level of diagnostic precision e. The sex, neuter status, age and adult bodyweight for GSDs under veterinary care during were described. Annual proportional birth rates described the relative proportion of GSDs from all dogs among the study population that were born in each year from to .All-age bodyweight data with their associated dates were used to generate individual bodyweight growth curves for male and female GSDs by plotting age-specific bodyweights and were overlaid with a cross medians line plot using the Stata mband command. The CI estimates were derived from standard errors based on approximation to the normal distribution for disorders with ten or more events [ 42 ] or the Wilson approximation method for disorders with fewer than ten events [ 43 ]. Prevalence values were reported overall and also separately for males and females. The chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test to compare continuous variables [ 42 ]. Results Demography and mortality The study population of , dogs in the VetCompassTM database under veterinary care at clinics distributed widely across the UK during included 12, 2. Of GSDs with information available, .The median age of the GSDs was 4. Bodyweight growth curves based on 24, bodyweight values from females and 25, bodyweight values from males showed that GSD puppies grow rapidly during their first year and that males plateau at a higher adult bodyweight than females Fig. The median bodyweight across all ages for males .The median adult bodyweight of males .Data completeness varied across the variables assessed: age .Annual proportional birth rates showed that GSDs rose from 2.

We are blind to many of the breed priorities that distract other breeders from improving the health of the English Bulldog. We focus on health and personality and very little else. We are not interested in winning a blue ribbon in the show ring. Rather, we test for things like elongated soft palates, narrow tracheas, stenotic nares, luxation in the patellar tendons, heart defects, cherry eye, optic cilia, entropion, ect. We focus and prioritize creating healthy bloodlines, therefore our bulldogs are typically much healthier than the breed as a whole. After breeding for health, what other priorities are you focused on? Our true desire is to create the perfect family bulldog. We also believe a bulldog bred for the correct personality is essential to the family unit as well. A Bruiser Bulldog is bred for intelligence and playfulness. We want our bulldogs to be full of personality and some quirk. We believe a full personality along with a little stubbornness is the true North star of the bulldog breed and is what makes the unique among other breeds. We look for these personality traits in our adult bulldogs and continue to create bloodlines that reflect these qualities. What are the steps of your adoption process if I am located in Texas?

Northern Indiana based, Bruiser Bulldogs offers purebred English Bulldog Puppies for sale to loving adopters seeking to find a higher quality English Bulldog.

Mitch and Erica believe in producing a healthy English Bulldog puppy first and foremost.

To ensure the success of every adoption, Bruiser Bulldogs will always be committed to helping Bruiser Bulldog adopters care for their English Bulldogs to the best of their ability. I am familiar with common and uncommon health problems they may face so when my boyfriend and I decided we were ready to adopt our own english puppy finding a reputable breeder that prioritizes health was most important to us. Erica and Mitch of Bruiser Bulldogs are just that. They are experienced, ethical and quality breeders. I was referred to them by my friend that I trust after I saw their gorgeous healthy puppy. Our Puppy Primrose is the light of our lives! Bruisers was there to assist us every step of the way. We would highly recommend Bruisers Bulldogs to anyone looking for their own happy, healthy pup! Leah H. We were lucky to have come across Bruiser Bulldogs and even more so the fact that they were near our family and hometown made it even better. We have had Clementine Callie for four months now, and she is a wonderful dog. Her personality is amazing, and I think part of it is breeding and the other part is Erika and her family lovingly raising the puppies in their home with plenty of attention and snuggles. I also was impressed that, rather than send the puppies out right at 8 weeks, Erika kept ours for a few extra weeks because she was tiny and not read to leave her mom yet. It's that care that differentiates Bruisers from other breeders. Emily R. Erica was easy to work with thru the entire process from application to adopting and now beyond as we host our new family member, Chief. Her on-call support and willingness to provide open, honest advice to all of our questions and concerns continues to be appreciated. We would highly recommend Bruiser Bulldogs to anyone looking for an English Bulldog to join their family. Elizabeth W. Lady L. They are experienced, responsive and knowledgeable about all things bulldog related. They went above and beyond for us and are truly dedicated to all of their pups! We love our little girl so much and would recommend Bruiser to anyone looking for a healthy beautiful bully. Jonathan E. Erica and Mitch are trustworthy, excellent communicators, fair, passionate, and produce the best bulldogs. We were at the top of the waiting list for months and Erica reached out every litter to see if we were finally ready for a bulldog. When we were, she was very easy to work with. Her knowledge on bulldogs is outstanding. We had many questions on the process and she always knew what was best for the puppy. We've had Penny formerly Blair for two months and she is very healthy, energetic, playful, and sweet. She is great with other people and dogs. We are so happy with our pup. When we are ready for bulldog 2, we will only consider Bruiser Bulldogs. Mitch C. Bowser was born April and is an integral part of our family. When we were first exploring English Bulldog breeders our biggest concern was the overall health of the dogs. We decided to work with Erica at Bruiser Bulldogs because we liked their focus on improving the breeds breathing abilities and the fact that the puppies are raised within her family environment before coming home with their new owners. Bowser also breaths clearly and our vet was impressed with his overall health from the moment we brought him home. All that said we know English Bulldogs have a predisposition to many health issues and that his current health can not predict the future. With that In mind its important to start with a breeder that open to answer any of your questions as Erica has ours, and that strongly believes in improving the breeds overall health profile. Adam B. My sister ended up finding Bruiser Bulldogs and we knew right away that they were the breeder for us. In September we ended up driving 9 hours to pick up two Bruiser bulldog puppies- one for my husband and I and one for my mom. Jackson and Penelope have been nothing but a joy. They are both very athletic and healthy. They are also HUGE snugglers and always want to be with you. It is an absolute pleasure having these two bullies in our lives! Erica is very knowledgeable about the breed. She is very hands on throughout the process and is just overall a kind and honest person to work with. With all that being said I cannot recommend Bruiser Bulldogs enough! Collyn C. One of the reasons we chose Bruiser Bulldogs was due to the claims about breeding for health. During our first visit at our vet's office, he told us that our pup was one of the healthiest English bulldogs he had ever seen. He is healthy, happy and social. Would recommend to anyone. Christina S. We seen our dog on their website and sent them an Email. Mitch called us and personally walked us through the process and made sure we had the right dog for our family. We couldn't be happier when we picked up our dog Ramsey, Erica made sure we had everything we needed and then some. They are truly amazing people who breed truly amazing dogs! Jim T. Questions about Bulldog puppies for sale in Dallas TX? We have answers. How much are Bulldog puppies for sale in Dallas TX? The price of each Bulldog for sale in Dallas depends on a few different things. First, the experience and reputation of Dallas Bulldog breeders will affect how much they charge for their pups.

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

Temperament: Loyal, sweet and intelligent. These pooches have luscious coats that often make them appear more like a lion than a dog. Combining this gorgeous breed with the sleek, strong German Shepherd produces a breed that is absolutely breathtaking. Some mixes retain the perky ears of a German Shepherd, while others inherit the floppy ears of a Great Pyrenees. With their long flowing hair and enormous body, these hybrids are sure to leave everyone they meet awestruck. Coat and Colors These dogs are most known for their luscious fur. Their beautiful locks are typically medium length and straight. As for color, they typically inherit their coat color from their Great Pyrenees parent — white, black, and tan. They usually have solid colored coats but sometimes their coats may contain multiple colors like their German Shepherd ancestors. Because they have such dense coats, Great Pyrenees German Shepherd mixes shed heavily. So it is very important to brush them daily to help prevent tangles and remove any dead fur. Height and Weight You can expect this dog to stand between inches tall. As for weight they are typically lb. These mixes can be quite muscular and appear very strong — their huge size is sometimes intimidating, yet these hybrids are gentle giants. Although Great Pyrenees German Shepherds act tough when they are working, these dedicated dogs turn into playful puppies in the snow — they love snow! Because of their thick coats, they thrive in cold conditions. They can overheat quickly in warmer climates, so it is important to provide them with plenty of shade if you live in a warm area. Agility training with this breed forms an extremely strong bond between dog and owner and often increases confidence. They can inherit their coat from their Great Pyrenees parent which is water-resistant and acts like a built-in raincoat! These highly independent dogs are prone to wandering off. They do not see this as an issue, because they will eventually return home. But for ease of mind as an owner it is best to invest in a sturdy fence to keep them confined to a large backyard. Great Pyrenees German Shepherd Mix Personality and Temperament This hybrid takes some of the best personality traits from both the Great Pyrenees and the German Shepherd and combines them into one majestic pooch. The perfect mix inherits the kind, gentle nature of a Great Pyrenees and the loyal and dedicated nature of a German Shepherd. Both parent breeds are highly intelligent, so these dogs are very smart as well. As both parent breeds are working dogs , the Great Pyrenees German Shepherds are very determined and serious when it comes to performing tasks. Because German Shepherd Great Pyrenees mixes are so devoted to their jobs they are extremely confident and self-assured. They will almost never appear timid and will always walk around with their head held high. Despite their serious nature while they are working they have a very playful side as well. Pyrenees mixes love to run and explore and may even get into some mischief if they get bored. It is important to play often with them to challenge their minds and let them flex their hard-working instincts. Their large bodies house A LOT of energy! These pups need to be walked and played with frequently to help them burn all of this energy. They can be calm and snuggly, but to achieve this temperament, you have to make sure you exercise them regularly. As long as these dogs are socialized from pups they will be extremely loving with other people or pets. Without socialization they may not trust strangers. As long as they are socialized from a puppy, the Great Pyrenees German Shepherd mix makes an incredible family dog. These pooches are very loving and sweet and get along easily with children and other pets. Despite their large appearance these dogs are very gentle and patient so they will get along even with young children. They are easy to train because of their high intelligence and they are typically very well-behaved. These majestic dogs require some moderate grooming and also need a significant amount of exercise each day, so make sure you have the money and time to invest in these beautiful hybrids before adopting one. Exercise Requirements They are highly active dogs that need to be exercised often. Both parent breeds are used to running freely in open pastures. Because of this they require large yards and open spaces to roam in — they are very independent and like to explore. This hybrid mix also loves to walk so if you are not an active person or do not have time to commit to walking a dog, you should consider looking at another dog breed. In addition to walking you should give your mix plenty of opportunities to display its intelligence. Ideally you would give these dogs a chance to use their herding instincts, but not everyone has a flock of sheep in their backyard! Other ways to mentally challenge your pooch include agility and obedience training. They are skilled at tasks such as jumping and running through obstacle courses. Exercising them frequently will help avoid any boredom that could result in destructive behaviors like digging and chewing. Grooming and Shedding Great Pyrenees German Shepherd mixes have gorgeous fur, but they do not just magically have such silky locks — they need lots of grooming! It may be smart to invest in a de-shedding tool as well to reduce the amount of loose hair that ends up everywhere in your home. When it comes to cleaning, make sure not to bathe them too often. German Shepherds typically have sensitive skin and can easily develop rashes or skin irritations if they are over-bathed so it is better to only wash your pup when absolutely necessary max once a month. Watch their skin and pay attention to any dry patches to determine if you are over-washing your dog. Be careful to not overfeed your pup though because this mix is prone to obesity. You should spread out their food over meals per day. Controlling the amount of food that these dogs eat is very important to avoid bloat a medical condition we will discuss later in this article. Remember that German Shepherds typically have sensitive stomachs, so this mix can have a sensitive stomach too. It is important to consult with your veterinarian about the specific food you should be feeding your hybrid if they are having problems with their stomach. The most common health problems associated with this breed are hip and elbow dysplasia. They are large stature makes them prone to issues with the sockets around their hips and elbows. They can also suffer from obesity and bloat buildup of gas, food, or liquid in the stomach. This disorder is characterized by blood that is unable to clot. Heart murmurs, cataracts and epilepsy are also common ailments. This long list of potential health concerns is by no means a guarantee that all Great Pyrenees German Shepherds will suffer from these illnesses, but it is important to be aware of possible diseases your dog can develop so you can watch out for any signs or symptoms. Frequent vet visits are crucial to early detection or prevention of many of these disorders. The size of your pooch will depend on the parent it takes after. Since both parents are quite large themselves, expect a huge dog who will need large spaces to move. A Variable Coat Your Germanees will have a dense coat with short to long fur that has the possibility of being water-resistant. If your Germanees pooch has a shorter-length coat, it likely favors the German Shepherd, but a longer fur means this comes from the Great Pyrenees. Both parent breeds feature a double coat, so your doggo will also have this attribute no matter what. Pups from this crossbreed may look wildly different. The German Shepherd offers up black and rust colors that are prominent in their coats. Your pooch can feature a solid color or a combination of the parent colors. They can also feature grey or brown fur. Given that this is still a young crossbreed, there is still a plethora of variation in the breed. The Germanees Temperament: Are they good family dogs? One interesting thing about your Germanees can very well be their temperament. They are a perfect mix, inheriting the gentle nature of the Great Pyrenees and the loyal heart of a German Shepherd. But the German Shepherd and the Great Pyrenees have differing natures. The Pyr can be a little stubborn and challenging to train, but the German Shepard is known for its high trainability. What that means for your pooch is that its personality can differ depending on who it takes after. Your Shepnees pup will be intelligent and loyal while also being protective. Your dog can also be an excellent family dog as they generally do well with kids and families. You need to train them and allow socialization at an early age to ensure their best behavior. If your pup takes after his German Shepherd parent, they can be suspicious of strangers, territorial, and a bit more aggressive. They are also prone to stress and separation anxiety if left alone for long hours. On the other hand, if your doggo takes after his Great Pyrenees parent, they tend not to be very aggressive and nurturing to other animals. They are more independent and do not require as much attention as a German Shepherd. Taking Care of your Germanees There are a lot of factors that will influence the needs of your Germanees. If they have a thicker coat like the Pyrenees, they can handle cold better than the shorter German Shepherd coat. It can be the most high maintenance aspect of them. They are active dogs and will love to run and explore. Long walks, big fenced-in yards to roam, and even training are excellent tools to help these doggos get their energy out. They will need between minutes of daily exercise. They will also enjoy forms of obstacle and obedience training. Be aware that because of their Great Pyrenees heritage, some of these pups will be stubborn during training. Keeping their nails trimmed is crucial, and you may also need to check for nail breakage, which can be expected in active breeds. Bathing them once every month or two will suffice, but you may need to take special care as their German Shepherd parent can have skin issues. Shorter coats will be fine with brushing every days, but longer coats that favor the Pyrenees will require more. Longer coats will need daily brushing to keep out tangles. These coats can also feature more hair on the legs, feet, ears, and around the eyes that requires regular trimming. Checking the hair around the ears can be pivotal in overall ear health. A Healthy Diet Big dogs have big diets. Follow a recommended diet and adjust amounts for your pooch if needed. The Health of Your Shepnees Any mixed breed dog is susceptible to health problems prominent in the parent breeds, and the Germanees are no different. They could suffer from heart conditions like murmurs and Subaortic Stenosis. Possible eye conditions may include Cataracts, Ectropion, and Retinopathy. There are numerous orthopedic conditions they may be at risk for, such as hip dysplasia , elbow dysplasia, osteochondritis dissecans, osteochondrodysplasia, panosteitis, arthritis, and patellar luxation. Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements can help in fighting these problems. Bloat, or gastric dilatation-volvulus, can be a potentially fatal condition that you can combat by feeding your pup 2 to 3 times a day. Be sure to keep an eye on their diet too, as they can suffer from obesity if they overeat. Epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, and deafness are possible in the breed, and they can inherit skin conditions like atopy, which can heighten skin allergies. Always consult with your veterinarian and be sure to have your dog screened and tested for potential health concerns. X-rays, eye exams, fecal exams, urinalysis, complete blood count, skin biopsy, skin scrape, and Buccal Mucosal Bleeding Time BMBT are all tests or screenings that can help keep your pup happy and healthy. The average Germanees lifespan is years, so true love and care will keep them by your side for a long time. The Cost of Your Companion Source: anna. Do your research to avoid puppy farms where living conditions are inadequate and health takes a back seat to profit. A reputable breeder will also share information regarding genetic backgrounds and health concerns. Take a look at this New Dog Checklist to see the supplies you may need. Annual costs for big dogs will also be more extensive. Their food bill will be high and veterinary costs can also be more significant. Breeding Them Big The Shepnees is a rare breed, and finding a breeder for them can be a challenging endeavor. You can check with German Shepherd and Great Pyrenees breeders, but there is no guarantee even then. Your best bet can be to hit the big sites and search for German Shepherd mixes or Great Pyrenees mixes. Sites like Pet Finder, Greenfield Puppies, and Lancaster Puppies will have numerous mixes for you to browse, but be sure to research each puppy and breeder before you make a purchase. Rescuing a Gentle Giant Adopting a dog in need is always admirable, but with a rare breed like this, you may not find them at just any shelter. Your best bet will be shelters that focus on German Shepherds or Great Pyrenees dogs. German Shepherd Rescue and Adoptions lists adoptable dogs on their site with possible mixes available. They need space but are great for active families. Source: puppies. This large pup is an excellent guard dog that can be independent and affectionate but likely not great for families with young kids. The Great Pyrenees German Shepherd mix might not be the best pet for first-time dog owners as their size and needs require extra attention. If you cannot provide adequate space, time for their care needs, or time for training and socialization, this may not be the pup for you. Make sure you weigh all the pros and cons, do your research, and ensure your life can meet their needs before deciding if this dog is for you. Further Reading: Similar Breeds. They can eat the same commercial dog foods that other breeds can. However, we do recommend feeding them high-quality food. Plus, they will eat a lot, so be sure you can afford to feed them before you commit to adopting one. Their food can easily cost a couple hundred a month. We recommend feeding large-breed puppy food and only large-breed puppy foods when these dogs are growing. Larger dogs have different requirements when puppies than smaller breed dogs. If fed incorrectly, they can develop health problems later on. For instance, the higher levels of calcium found in smaller-breed dog food have been linked to a higher chance of hip dysplasia in large breeds. Therefore, be sure to feed your canine specifically a large-breed puppy food — and keep them on it until they are full-grown, which may take a few years! After they grow into adulthood, these dogs may still benefit from large-breed food. Often, these include nutrients like glucosamine and omega fatty acids — which can be particularly beneficial for larger breeds. If your dog develops specific health problems, we do recommend choosing a food designed to conquer those health issues. Many conditions can be controlled somewhat through diet. German Shepherds are extremely energetic. They need hours of exercise each day. After all, they are working dogs through and through and were bred to spend much of their time in the field. We only recommend purebred German Shepherds for active owners — for a good reason. However, the Great Pyrenees is far more laid back. Instead, they spend much of their time lying around, though they can produce bouts of energy if required. Their guarding style typically involves laying around until something happens. This mixed breed can be on either end of the spectrum. They may be extremely active, or they could be significantly less so. It just depends on what traits they inherit. There are some obvious signs that your dog needs more exercise — like excess jumping and running around indoors. Never force-exercise your dog, especially as a puppy. This practice can damage their legs and joints. Dogs are much more likely to develop problems later on if they were forced to move too much. Puppies are particularly susceptible to over-exercise. Their joints are still developing, and too much movement can cause problems. Furthermore, puppies may be very energetic, but their endurance is usually quite low. However, you can expect them to walk for 15 minutes a few times a day. Training should begin as early as possible. We recommend starting your puppy in group puppy classes as soon as they have all their shots. You can begin training at home before your puppy has all its shots. This mixed breed requires extensive socialization, and puppy classes are an easy way to accomplish that. Of course, you should utilize other methods of socialization as well, such as walking in parks and taking your pet to dog-friendly stores. Begin with basic techniques. As a more intelligent breed, your Germanees should master these quickly. Be sure to practice in a variety of situations with distractions. Even after your dog has accomplished these easier commands, you should continue training. The Great Pyrenees German Shepherd mix is extremely intelligent. They need mental stimulation daily to stay healthy and happy. Otherwise, they can easily become destructive and attempt to make their own fun which often involves chewing through your wall or learning how to open all your cabinets. Training is an easy way to work their brain. Running out of commands to teach will probably end up being a serious concern. You can mentally stimulate your dog through other means as well. Training just happens to be one of the easiest methods. If your canine has a thicker coat, you may need to brush them daily. Typically, these dogs will shed quite a bit. We highly recommend brushing them as much as possible, even if their coats are shorter. Their shedding can get out of control very quickly. Plus, the more you groom them, the more accepting of the process the dog will be. A de-shedding tool is sometimes helpful for extremely heavy shedding periods. Your dog will not need a full-body trim. You should keep their fur longer, even in hotter climates. Trimming can mess with their ability to regulate their body temperature, especially if it is done regularly. However, you will need to trim inside their ears, around their eyes, and on the bottom of their feet. The longer fur in these locations can cause issues and should be removed. You can do this yourself easily at home or take your pooch to a groomer to do it. You should trim their nails regularly — just like you would any dog. Brushing their teeth a few times a week is also necessary. Otherwise, periodontal problems can pop up. They inherit from a larger gene pool, which makes genetic conditions much rarer. However, they are still prone to a few issues. Hip Dysplasia The most serious and common of these is hip dysplasia. This condition affects the growth of the hips in puppies. For some reason, the socket and ball stop growing at the same rate, making them unaligned. Eventually, this creates wear-and-tear — similar to arthritis. This condition does have a genetic component. However, environmental factors also play a role. For instance, dogs that are overfed or fed the incorrect food are more likely to end up with hip dysplasia. Overexercise can also be a contributing factor. Bloat Bloat is a condition that causes the stomach to swell with gas — usually for a completely unknown reason. Not much is known about this illness. This condition strikes quickly and can kill a dog in a matter of hours. The symptoms can seem quite unserious, though. Sometimes, dogs just act a bit uncomfortable until their stomach swells so much that they go into shock. However, it is usually not so noticeable that it prompts owners to see veterinary attention. As an owner of a larger dog, it is vital to know the symptoms of this condition and stay on the lookout for them. Quick vet care is essential to recovery without any long-term effects. If a dog is affected by this problem, they usually do not clot correctly. As you might imagine, this can cause serious bleeding problems! However, it is important to diagnose it. Usually, this condition is noticed when the dog gets injured or undergoes minor surgery. Dogs that are spayed or neutered often get diagnosed earlier than dogs that are not — simply because the bleeding is noticed during the surgery. To prevent this disease, breeders often genetically test both parents. You can prevent this condition by not breeding two dogs with the gene together. Male vs. Female There is no difference between the two genders of this breed. The sizing difference that may be apparent with both their parents disappears when you mix them together. Puppies simply differ too much in size for a distinction between gender to develop. Males may act a bit different if they notice a female nearby in heat — even if they only catch her scent on a nearby tree. For the most part, there is no serious difference between these genders. They are very protective of their family and property, which can make them aggressive towards strangers. However, training and socialization can help get around this. You just need the time and patience for this vital socialization. This canine is great for families and children. They can even be socialized to get along with other pets. We only recommend this breed for those who have plenty of time to dedicate to them. These crossbreeds are also commonly called by other names like Germanees and Shepnees. The German Shepherd Great Pyrenees mix is a relatively recent crossbreed. As such, they have not gone through the required three generations of documented breeding used to recognize a crossbreed as a pedigree or designer dog breed. Lack of a breed standard is why our best bet in understanding a Germanees is to learn about its parent breeds. The pioneer creators of the mighty German Shepherd spent more than a quarter of a century refining the breed. Von Stephanitz also co-founded the global GSD club. Because they are originally a German breed, these beloved shepherds suffered anti-German sentiments in the world war era, which saw the breed change its name to Alsatian in Britain. The dogs rapidly rose to fame in the s, especially for their use in movies like Rin-Tin-Tin. They are overall good family dogs that form an unbreakable bond with their owners. Their purpose as a shepherd was to deter wolves and other sheep predators in the France side of the Pyrenees Mountains. Pyrs have a long history dating back to BC. To become the renowned guard dogs they are today, their guarding skills were refined under the frigid temperatures of the Pyrenees Mountains. Do you want to learn more about the Pyr? The reduction in sheep predators caused a significant decrease in Pyrs numbers. However, their arrival in the US aided in the revival of this breed. They were registered with the AKC in .This is because the puppy can inherit half of each parent or be more of one parent in physical features. In addition, your Germanees will bear the proportioned well-muscled body of both parents. As with both parents, your Germanees is likely to be longer than tall. However, the dog will be balanced in its front and hindquarters. Coat Type and Colors The coat of a Shepnees mix can vary in both type and color. Your Shepnees puppy can come with a medium-length coat if it takes more from the medium-length double coat of the German Shepherd. As for the coat color, a Germanees puppy can come in one of the many German Shepherd coat colors , including solid black, white, liver, or blue. A Shepnees puppy could also inherit the white coat of the Great Pyrenees or have a more varied range of markings on the white coat. These markings could include the gray, tan, and badger markings of the German Shepherd. Other Features Other elements of your German Shepherd Great Pyrenees appearance that you should expect include: A proportionate head with the noble and smooth aspects of the German Shepherd or the wedge-shaped skull and rounded crow of the Great Pyrenees. A long muzzle that takes more from the wolf-like face of the German Shepherd or the well-balanced muzzle length and head skull like that of the Pyr. A black nose inherited from both parents. Almond-shaped, medium-size eyes set a bit obliquely, just like those of the parent breeds. The eye color may be dark or rich dark brown. Pointed or v-shaped ears that may be carried erect and open to the front as those of the German Shepherd or floppy like the ones of the Pyr. A long tail that extends to the hock and is typically carried low or curved over the back when the dog is aroused. The tail could be bushy and hang with a slight curve if your Germanees inherits primarily from the German Shepherd. If the puppy is more of their Great Pyrenees parent, the tail will be well plumed with a more accentuated plume at the end. A German Shepherd Great Pyrenees mix will grow to approximately inches .The weight and height of an individual Shepnees will vary within this range depending on their age and gender. Younger than 12 month-old Shepnees are smaller in size. Also, female dogs typically weigh and measure less than their male counterparts. This breed has a muscular and robust size, aside from being a large and long dog, since both its parent breeds tend to be so. Applies to all dog food recalls in the U. They have a straight and extremely dense coat which sheds quite a bit, so daily brushing is a prerequisite. Their fur is also medium in length, and the colors may vary between black, white, fawn, and other similar shades. The breed can also develop a mane-like ruff around its neck area which will have a curly or wavy texture. Their eyes are almond-shaped and colored dark brown. Its nose, along with the eye rims and lips, is colored black, creating an expression that makes them look intelligent and eager to learn. Their ears can either be erect or drop, depending on which parent trait is more evident. Its head will be wedge-shaped and is well-proportioned to its body. But to counter this, you will need to train them consistently with much patience. The dog will likely want to be tasked with something whether it be guarding or protecting your kids, or helping you herd the family cat.

When the shedding is particularly heavy at times, you can opt to use a de-shedding tool. You will also have to trim excess hair around their eyes, ears, and legs to keep them comfortable. A bath now and then is also recommended, but extra caution is needed because the German Shepherd parent may have a history of skin issues.

German Shepherd Great Pyrenees Cross Health Problems While all breeds are susceptible to develop health problems brought about by their genetic upbringing, some races are more vulnerable than others. One of the ways you can avoid this is by buying or adopting a puppy instead of a grown dog. The breeder from whom you got your puppy must offer you a health guarantee on the puppies. If they failed to do this, then it might be time for you to look for another certified breeder. A breeder with a good reputation will be honest about the health problems that the breed of your puppy may be exposed to as well as the statistics of how often they occur. Health clearances exist as a way to prove that your dog has been subjected to tests for a particular condition and has passed it.

You can start by encouraging your pet to merely look at the item first and slowly let them build up to standing on the item by themselves. This is one of the most natural training which you can set up in your home using two chairs and a pole. Keep the pole at a low jump height first and make sure that the practice surface is not slippery. Also, make sure that the pole can topple once your dog hits it so that your dog would not get hurt during training. Agility training is suitable for all breeds of dogs, especially those who are anxious since it helps in building confidence and trust. It also introduces them to new experiences. Remember that positive reinforcement such as treats and praises will significantly assist in instilling lessons to your dog. The Great Pyrenees, on the other hand, is a sweet and gentle breed. The hybrid is also very loyal and protective to family members. As for other house pets, they will have no problem living under the same roof. Since the hybrid also has herding tendencies, it might play around with other house pets. However, constant training, socialization, and patience are still needed in raising this hybrid.

Although certain health issues that Bulldogs may experience are congenital and beyond our control, others can be influenced by environmental and lifestyle factors, such as diet. Some of the most common health issues faced by Bulldog include the following: Food allergies. Certain ingredients in their food can cause allergies in Bulldogs. This occurs when the immune system of some dogs identifies a specific protein, carbohydrate, or other ingredients in their diet as foreign and reacts to it as if it were a harmful substance. Food allergies in Bulldogs may present as dry, itchy skin, ears, or paws. However, intolerances do not involve the immune system but can lead to vomiting or diarrhea. We highly recommend conducting an at-home dog food allergy test like the 5Strands kit. This particular kit can test for up to ingredients and determine which ones may cause food intolerance in your dog. Once you receive the results, you can use the list to avoid dog food formulas that contain potential allergens. Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome BAS. This condition occurs in Bulldogs and other animals with shortened facial features that result in a pushed-in nose. Bulldogs with BAS may experience difficulty breathing, especially during exercise or in hot weather. Hip and elbow dysplasia. Bulldogs are prone to joint conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, which can cause discomfort and mobility issues. Skin conditions. Bulldogs are susceptible to several skin conditions due to the folds in their skin that can trap dirt and moisture. Common skin conditions include eczema or atopic dermatitis, skin fold dermatitis, interdigital pyoderma, and chin folliculitis. Bulldogs may also develop demodectic mange, a skin disease caused by mites. Eye conditions. Bulldogs are prone to several eye conditions, including cherry eye, dry eye, corneal ulcers, eyelid and eyelash abnormalities, and persistent pupillary membranes. Bulldogs may also develop cataracts at a young age. This condition occurs when Bulldogs develop excessively thick skin on their legs or nose, which can be uncomfortable and lead to infections. Bulldogs may develop allergies to certain foods, medications, or environmental factors such as pollen or dust mites. Allergies can cause skin irritation, itchiness, and gastrointestinal issues. Heat sensitivity. Bulldogs are prone to heat sensitivity due to their shortened airways and difficulty regulating body temperature. Bulldogs should be kept in a cool, shaded area during hot weather to prevent heat exhaustion. Gastrointestinal issues. Bulldogs may experience gastrointestinal issues such as colitis and chronic diarrhea, which can cause discomfort and dehydration. Bulldogs may develop deafness, which can be caused by genetics or chronic ear infections. Bulldogs require a balanced and nutritious diet to maintain energy levels and stay active. Feeding a Bulldog an inadequate or low-quality diet can lead to a lack of energy, sluggishness, and even obesity. Bulldogs that are less active or prone to weight gain may require a lower-calorie diet, while more active Bulldogs may need a higher-calorie diet to fuel their activities. Feeding Bulldogs the right food and portions is essential to maintaining their activity level and overall health. Require a diet that is higher in calories and protein to support their growth and development. They also need a balanced calcium and phosphorus diet for healthy bone growth. Feeding high-quality puppy food formulated explicitly for English Bulldog puppies can help ensure they receive the necessary nutrients during this crucial stage. Adult English Bulldogs. Require a diet that is lower in calories and protein to maintain their weight and prevent obesity. They also need a balanced diet of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to support their overall health and energy needs. Senior English Bulldogs. Senior dogs may require a diet lower in calories and fat to maintain a healthy weight and higher fiber to support digestive health. Senior dog foods often contain joint supplements to help mobility and joint health. Avoid common allergens. Bulldog often develops food allergies or intolerances, so it may be helpful if your dog food is free from common allergens, such as corn, wheat, chicken, and beef. Bulldogs can have sensitive digestive systems. Look for a dog food that adds probiotics to its formula. Dog probiotics support a healthy digestive system and immune system. Digestibility: Bulldogs can be prone to digestive issues, so look for dog food that is minimally processed, such as fresh dog food. Lower-quality kibble may contain fillers, artificial preservatives, and other ingredients that can be harder to digest and may cause digestive upset in some dogs. Joint support ingredients. Since Bulldogs are prone to common conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, look for dog food that contains ingredients that support joint health, such as glucosamine and chondroitin. Limited ingredients. Bulldogs with skin allergies or sensitivities may benefit from dog food with limited ingredients, which can help identify potential allergens. Look for dog food that contains a single protein source and a limited number of carbohydrates. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

We recommend the puppy keeps using the same food the breeder used before delivery. In our case, we like to use Royal Canin Bulldog Puppy. We have used several other brands over the years. And, so far, Royal Canin has worked great for our puppies and adults. When feeding our English bulldog puppy, we take into consideration several factors. Such as the amount of protein and fat they should receive in the first few weeks of age. There are other brands in the market that may provide the same or similar amount of protein and fat. However, you should consider important things such as ingredients of the food, allergies it might cause. As professional breeders of English bulldogs, we always let our clients know about the food we give to our puppies. In addition to other supplements that we use.

Both for the type of food and feeding technics. Sometimes, based on what they may consider, it is correct or better for their English bulldogs. Or perhaps after receiving veterinarian advice. Our recommendation is to continue to use the one we use. Feeding Frequency for English bulldogs The number of times you feed an English bulldog puppy is also very important. The younger the puppy is, the more often one has to feed the puppy. For breeders, it is a lot of work due. Mainly due to the fact that we have to care for the puppies since day one. We have to rigorously continue feeding them at least every two 2 hours. Usually, when we release our puppies; they will be at least eight 8 weeks old. And they will be eating solid food. At this stage, it is recommended to feed the puppies three 3 times a day. Once in the morning, afternoon, and early evening. Sometimes due to a matter of schedule or advice from friends, breeders or veterinarians; families will feed the puppy two 2 times a day. This will make things a little easy for the family training the English bulldog. If this is the case, the correct amount of food should be provided to the puppy. Always based on their body weight as well as the age of the puppy. A feeding guide or table should be available to you on the bag of food you use. In most cases it is recommended for an English bulldog to be on the puppy formula for the first year of life and then a gradual change to an adult formula containing the same nutrients should be given.

Should I give supplements to English Bulldog Puppies? This food will provide the puppy with the nutrients needed to have a long, healthy life. But as breeders, we use other things to supplement the diet of our English bulldogs so that we can keep them away as much as possible from common illnesses among them. The use of the right type of supplements from an early stage in the development of the dog is key when raising English bulldogs than with a lot of other breeds. This is due to the fact that English bulldogs have a weaker skeletal system and a lower immune system than other breeds. Having the presence of supplements will help the puppy to develop into a healthier adult. Eggs, cod liver oil, chicken breast, some vegetables are also great for them.

Lastly, before I get to some interesting misconceptions about dog food, I want you to take part in helping other dog lovers learn. What dog food do you feed? What experiences have you had? What have you learned from others? Misconceptions about dog food which will change your mind forever! When searching for the best food for your dog, always keep these misconceptions in mind. We fall victim to clever marketing, and pet food marketers are up there with magicians — they know how to trick us. Most commercial dog foods are grain-based, not meat-based. Walk down the dog food aisle in any supermarket across the world, and spend time looking at every packet of dog food. What pictures are on the front? What claims do they make? Any of them? Now turn those bags around and read the ingredients. Most commercial dog foods are made from grains! They usually swap grains for potatoes, tapioca, or other starchy high-carbohydrate ingredients. But sit down, and take a deep breath. Most commercial dog food is, quite likely, unhealthy. Go to your local vets and look at the dog foods they recommend. Read the ingredients. Most of those brands are also Mars, or Colgate-Palmolive. Those medications merely cover up the issues without addressing the real problem. In most of those cases any grain free dog food would do the trick, and these are often cheaper.

The best food for German Shepherd puppies in their first two to four months of life is milk from their mother. This specialised care is usually left to German Shepherd breeders or veterinarians, who are knowledgeable in caring for pups with no mother to nurse from. If you have recently brought a German Shepherd puppy into your family, they are most likely older than 8 weeks, and so have started to eat solid foods. Before the four month mark, it is advised to include some dry food in their diet. You can do this in a few simple steps: Mix some dry food with specially formulated puppy milk to form a soft mixture. You can feed your puppy this mixture three to four times a day. Over time, reduce the amount of milk you include in this mixture, until they are at the point where they are happily eating dry foods. Read on to learn how much you should feed your German Shepherd puppy as they get older. With this rapid growth can come some risks. German Shepherds are susceptible to bone growth disorders, like hip dysplasia, that can start in puppyhood. They will be very active in their adolescent years, and so should be fed with this in mind. The transition from puppy food to adult food should happen between 12 and 24 months of age. This is because, being a larger breed who grows very quickly, you want to ensure that you are feeding them according to their large breed needs. Remember that the more active the pup, the more food they require. While following feeding guidelines is important to avoid over and underfeeding, you can adjust the amounts of food you provide to your dog based on level of activity. If you are unsure, it is always best to ask your vet for guidance. You need to take special care when considering what you should feed your German Shepherd puppy, as they require different nutrients compared to their adult counterparts. For puppies, this amount will often be two of three times higher, as they are more active and growing quickly. German Shepherd puppies need to eat food that is high in proteins and fats. Carbohydrates are also essential for supporting your active pup. Aside from nutritionally complete dry puppy food, German Shepherd puppies can benefit from the extra protein that raw meat can provide them with, such as lean beef, turkey, chicken, or fish. However, they can also be at risk of gastric dilatation or volvulus, or GDV. Certain dog breeds can be more susceptible to GDV; particularly deep chested breeds including German Shepherds. GDV can occur when a dog bloats a few hours after eating a meal. Though the exact causes of GDV are not known, grains and cereals are suspected to be contributors. The amount of food you give your German Shepherd is determined by their weight, energy levels, and age. For most adult German Shepherds, between 1, to 2, calories per day from high quality food sources is ideal. Female German Shepherds, which tend to be about 8 kilos lighter than males, may need less food, as will less active dogs. Dogs who need less food, whether they are less active or simply older, will usually still need around 1, and 1, per day. You may want to alter the amount of food you are feeding your German Shepherd based on how calorically dense their food is. German Shepherds should be fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Their daily allotment of food should be split evenly between these two meals. For most dogs, it is recommended that you exercise your dog before meal times to assist with potty training. However, some dogs who are at risk of GDV may benefit from exercise after eating, to aid with digestion. You should also try to give your German Shepherd a high quality food that is specially designed for larger or working breeds, especially if they are very active. For example, less active senior dogs will need to eat less food as they will not be burning calories as quickly as a lively little puppy will. Senior dogs may benefit from a higher fibre and lower calorie diet. Your dog may also develop chronic or short term medical conditions that require specially formulated food. German Shepherds can be particularly susceptible to skin disease or allergies, including canine atopic dermatitis, bacterial skin infections, flea allergy dermatitis, forms of contact dermatitis, or scabies. If your dog develops a skin issue, it is often a sign that they may be suffering from a form of food sensitivity. If you are unsure about what you should feed your German Shepherd, you should always consult your vet as they will be able to determine if your dog is suffering from any allergies or chronic health issues: creating a nutritional plan to help keep your dog healthy and happy for years to come. Part of figuring out what you should feed your German Shepherd includes deciding between wet, dry, or a raw food diet. Wet food for German Shepherds is often high in protein and fat, and is better at keeping your dog hydrated than other food sources. A raw diet can be a good option for your German Shepherd as you have more control over the kinds of food and amount of nutrients your pup is consuming. For this reason, raw diets require a lot more work on your part as an owner. Whatever you decide to feed your German Shepherd, all dogs need a similar ratio of nutrients in their diets. The amount of food you feed your dog should be determined by their activity levels, age, weight, breed, and size. Any meals prepared for your dog need to contain the right balance of nutrients. You should also be extra careful not to introduce your dog to foods that are harmful to their health. While we might enjoy the taste of nuts, artificial sweeteners, alcohol and onions, these can be toxic for dogs and can cause serious illness and even death. German Shepherds in particular need plenty of exercise as they are a large working breed with a lot of energy. No matter how old your German Shepherd is, it is important to keep to a consistent feeding schedule. A feeding schedule can help you keep track of any changes in behaviour around food that might signal illness or physiological stress.

rochester mn golden retriever puppies - The main problem is the marginal response to training by both of the parents. Photo by Mary Swift on Shutterstock Shih-Tzus are quite stubborn and that can make training them a hustle. If you want to achieve something, grant them a lot of attention. On the contrary, Poodles enjoy having their minds and bodies tested so will learn everything there is to know very fast. Your Shih-Poo might not be the best training candidate, especially with dominant Shin-Tzu traits. However, starting the training early and implementing consistency and positive reinforcement will eventually provide results. Their ideal exercise time is approximately half an hour walking daily, possibly in two separate sessions. Sometimes additional exercises can be added if you want them to lose weight. At least an hour of exercise is what can keep your poodle satisfied. This hour can be filled either with intense walking, a game of fetch, or other rousing games. Lack of physical and mental stimulation in Poodles can result in destructive behavior. Excessive barking, digging, and chewing are signs of boredom and excess energy. Obesity can mean that your dog is more of a Poodle in means of exercise and needs to spend time out a lot more. Shih Poos are not inherently aggressive at all. However, as with many small dog breeds, training is often neglected at the expense of a wildly barking and untrained dog. There is no doubt that a Shih-Poo can be madly in love with his family and all life regardless. Whether they are friendly with other animals and people can also reflect their early socialization. Shih-Tzu dogs are very affectionate and there is nothing more they love than following their owners from place to place even the bathroom. They are made to be companion dogs and are generally happy beings. If they think there is something out of the ordinary ex. After the stranger comes in they will be best friends with the dog in a matter of minutes. Poodles strive toward the protective temperament. They are wary of strangers and will let you know that strangers approach their house. A Poodle is an affectionate dog too, but it can take a while to get used to new people, or not get used at all. Without any distraction, they are calm when their family is around. Shih-Tzus are a bit contradictory when it comes to the following leadership. Being stubborn they might decide not to do something or go someplace. In the meantime, they are dependent on their owners and cannot spend a minute without them. When they misbehave if you try to yell at them or punish them will make things even worse because they have very sensitive feelings. Beware of their jealousy especially when you are playing with other pets or children. Provide enough stimulation early in their lives and take the leadership badge. You will need to show you Shih-Poo that you are the leader by using positive reinforcement. Make your dog feel safe around you, give a lot of attention, work on socialization, and no matter what traits are dominant, you will have an obedient furry friend. Health Because of their sensitive skin, Shih-Poos can be prone to skin and ear infections. A contributing factor can be the frequent cases of allergies within the breed. Some bad anatomical formations can produce musculoskeletal abnormalities such as patellar luxation or hip dysplasia. Retained baby teeth, gum disease, and periodontal disease are also a result of anatomical abnormalities in Shih-Tzus. Another hormonal disease Poodles often develop is Diabetes. Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus or simply called bloat is common in deep-chested dogs such as the Poodles. The condition is very serious. You can reduce the risk of developing if you limit exercises after meals and give smaller and frequent portions of food and water. If the Shih-Poo inherits the Shih-Tzu anatomy there is a big chance for the dog to suffer from dysplasia, retained baby teeth, and any other breathing problem brachycephalic dogs have. Both Poodles and Shih Tzus have a life expectancy of around 13 years and Poodles. A Shih-Tzu cross-breed dog can live years. Depending on factors such as genetics, nutrition, and lifestyle dogs of this breed can live even longer. Do Shih Poos Shed? Yes, Shih Poos do shed and there are a lot of varieties of Shih-Poo coats. Some dogs get the straight fur from the Tzu parent while others are curly like their Poodle predecessor. In most cases, the crossbreed will be a combination of both. Shih-Poos have to be brushed daily and groomed on monthly basis. Along with bathing when necessary, you can prevent their coat from getting dry , matted, and irritated. Both Poodles and Shih-Tzus are considered to be hypoallergenic dog breeds. Their hair is less likely to shed and cause allergic reactions in people. An interesting thing about Shih Tzus is the way their hair grows in all directions — this granted them the moniker Chrysanthemum Dog. Regarding color, they can be in all variations and combinations — brindle, black, brown, white. Size Shih Tzu Poodle mixes are usually inches cm and weigh between pounds kg , assuming the dog is crossed with a smaller Poodle.

Post navigation. Shih poos are a cross between a shih tzu and a toy poodle. While some shih tzu breeders breed a poodle to a shih tzu to create first-generation shih poos, it's also common practice to breed shih poos to one another to create multigenerational dogs. As cross-breeds, shih poos are not an officially recognized breed, and there is no breed standard regarding appearance or temperament. Even shih poo puppies born to the same litter may take after one parent more than the other and appear vastly different in coat texture and coloring, says PetGuide. Shih poos fall in the small to tiny range, typically standing between eight and 18 inches at the withers and weighing anywhere from eight to 18 pounds. Their coat may be long, straight and silky like that of the shih tzu, shorter and curly like that of a poodle or it may fall somewhere in between. Despite the appearance, the shih poo's coat barely sheds, making these dogs a good fit for someone with mild pet allergies. Coloring can take after either parent breed. While poodles have solid coats that are typically black, white, gray, brown or apricot, shih tzu coats may be solid or come in various color patterns and combinations. Shoodle coats may mimic the coloring pattern of either parent. Personality: Often, mixed-breed dogs develop a temperament that balances the qualities of their parent breeds. Shih tzus tend to be highly affectionate and extremely charming, but possess a stubborn streak that can make them difficult to train. Poodles, on the other hand, while equally charming with playful and comedic personalities, are highly intelligent dogs who are more eager to please and easier to train. Shih poos, as a result, are often playful, affectionate and quick-witted little charmers, although they may inherit their shih tzu parent's willfulness. Because of this, they often need a firm but patient guide in training, and might not be the best choice for first-time dog parents. What shih poos may lack in trainability, they more than make up for in love and affection. They love to play with toys and get along wonderfully with older children, although due to their small size and hair that's easy to grab and pull, they should be closely supervised around small children. While friendly and great at getting along well with other pets, especially if introduced as puppies, older shih poos might not love having other dogs around. They often do well as only dogs. Even so, these fluffy pups love being close to their people and don't tolerate being left alone for long periods of time. If work or school takes you away from home for long hours, you may need to consider doggie daycare to keep your shih poo happy. Living With: Shih poos are generally versatile dogs that can do well in small apartments as well as larger homes. They need up to 30 minutes a day of play and exercise, which can be satisfied with two or three short walks each day or minute sessions of vigorous playtime twice daily. The rest of the time, they'll be content to curl up in your lap or to cuddle up next to you on the sofa. Shih poos are highly social and love to be around people, so expect them to stick close as you move around the house. While shih poos tend to be long-lived, with some living 17 years or more, they can be predisposed to the same health problems as their parent breeds. These include allergies, patellar luxation , vision problems and endocrine disorders such as Addison's disease, hypothyroidism and Cushing's disease. Shih poos that inherit the shorter snout of the shih tzu may also be prone to respiratory issues, reverse sneezing and snoring. Extra care should be taken to prevent overheating and heat stroke, says Dogtime. And like many small breeds, these dogs may be prone to dental problems and will benefit from regular dental cleanings and daily tooth brushing. Regardless of the length or texture of your shih poo's coat, it will be thick, fast-growing and prone to matting. Daily brushing and monthly visits to the groomer are recommended to keep the coat under control. Limit baths to a few times a month to prevent the skin from drying out. When bathing, be sure to prevent water from getting in the ear canals to prevent ear infections from developing. Shoodles have healthy appetites and will overeat if given the chance, which will lead to unhealthy weight gain. It's best to keep them on a consistent feeding schedule rather than allowing them to graze on kibble throughout the day. Feed your pup a high-quality food dog formulated for small breeds , and keep treats to a minimum. History: Not much is known about the backstory of the shih poo. Unlike other boutique breeds, no breeders have come forward to take credit for introducing the shih poo. Most likely this cross-breed came about unintentionally, with breeders in the U. As a cross-breed, shih poos are not recognized as an official breed by the American Kennel Club, although they are recognized by various designer breed registration clubs, including the American Canine Hybrid Club and the International Designer Canine Registry. Related Pet Care Articles.

Shih Tzus can be stubborn, but what they lack in trainability, they make up for in personality ten fold. They are incredibly friendly, attentive, and cute, while Poodles are intelligent, trainable, and active. Shih-Poo personalities can vary but typically will fall in the middle of parental traits. Most Shih-Poos are described as friendly and playful. While Shih-Poos enjoy a good siesta, they also enjoy walks and thrive on playtime. They may not be eager to learn new tricks but do enjoy interaction and attention. Shih-Poos may not be as barky as their Poodle parent, but may alert you to any displeasures, such as a missed meal, with a single bark until every few minutes until needs are met. Training and socialization should be established early on. Consistency and positive reinforcement are the ways to go with Shih-Poos. Shih-Poo Health While many designer crossbreeds have improved overall health, they can inherit health issues their parents are prone to. That said, Shih-Poos can typically live approximately 16 years on average in relatively great health. Watch for signs of heat stroke if your dog happens to have a shorter snout. As a small dog, they can be prone to dental problems. Maintain good dental care and have their teeth regularly checked and professionally cleaned. Your vet can help you develop a care routine that will keep your dog healthy. Make sure Shih-Poos are kept on a dietary schedule. Do not allow free-feeding as they will overeat and rapidly gain weight. They will need regular potty breaks and one or two ten-to minute walks a day for optimal health. Dental issues can be problematic. Regular teeth cleanings are recommended, as well as systematic dental chews and teeth brushings. Your vet should be able to help you establish a routine. Shih-Poo ears should be kept clean and dry. After bathing, take extra steps to ensure this. If your pup gets a smelly, pungent odor, they may have an ear infection.

They can get the curly fur from their Poodle parent, the straight fur from their Shih-Tzu parent, or a combination of the two, which is most likely. The color will vary, as well.
