They don't mind being inside most of the time. They get along well with cats and other pets and they like to make friends with your guests and family who drop by. No wonder this a favorite dog for city life from Europe to the US and beyond. The Frenchie dog breed comes in a variety of unusual colors. This article will look at rare colors found in French Bulldogs like merle, lilac, blue and more. Those colors come in pied only if the mother and father are both pied in theory. Rare colors in French Bulldog puppies can be exceptionally expensive and there is some debate about how healthy a rare colored Frenchie can be. Frenchies are one of the few breeds that come in a bewildering variety of colors. Most Frenchies are Brindle. This is a dark colored coat mixed with lighter color strands of hair and the most frequently found color in the Frenchie. Fawn is a lighter tan colored coat that can range from very light to a dark reddish tan. These French Bulldogs often have a darker face mask and ears with some brindle streaks thrown in for variety. The third most common color in this breed is white. White French Bulldogs have a very porcelain white coat and most of the time come with a darker mask. Frenchies with tan points - black and tan Frenchie, blue and tan Frenchie, lilac and tan Frenchie, chocolate and tan Frenchie etc. Trindles - French Bulldogs which have brindle in their tan points. All black French Bulldogs - with no trace of brindle is also quite rare. The Blue French Bulldog is one of the rarest colors. For that reason alone people pay very high prices for them. There is usually a waiting list for blue aren't so much blue as gray puppies. You can expect to pay twice or triple as much for a blue French Bulldog than the average price for a standard French Bulldog. Blue Frenchies are quite striking however can be prone to Color Dilution Alopecia or CDA ;a recessive inherited condition that causes patches of hair thinning or loss. This is most commonly seen in dogs with blue or fawn coats. The puppies are born normal looking, but the hair thinning and loss symptoms can start at 6 months up to several years later. It is most often associated with Blue Dobermans. CDA is not curable but it's fairly easy to manage. It is important to mention that our blue Frenchie never suffered from any symptoms to his coat. Not all blue Frenchies will be prone to the coat problems however, your vet can help you keep your blue French Bulldog healthy and happy if any issue arises. Blue Frenchies get cold easily - Some owners have stated the blue Frenchie gets cold easily, we are unsure if this is just a myth or based on actual research. Either way French Bulldogs can't regulate their body temperature well. Having any Frenchie in cold climate is not ideal due to their short coat. If you live in a cold climate there are ways you can keep your Frenchie warm. Always dress your French Bulldog with our specially tailored for Frenchies hoodies , Frenchie pajamas etc. The blue Frenchie skin condition can also impact your grooming regime. We have not experienced any of the above with our blue Frenchie. We also know plenty of the standard color Frenchies who suffer from skin conditions and allergies. We are not trying to promote or discourage buying the standard or rare colors we simply don't discriminate over colors. We love all our French Bulldogs friends that come in all colors of the rainbow. What are the different coat colors of a Blue Frenchie puppy? All Blue Frenchie - meaning all blue without any other colors to the coat. Blue Pied Frenchie - Frenchies with blue coats and patches of white or cream on their bellies, chest, legs etc. Blue fawn Frenchie- Frenchie coat that looks like a mix of blue and fawn. Blue brindle Frenchie - Blue coated French Bulldog puppy with brindle streaks. Blue merle Frenchie - a combination of different patches and streaks that are irregular and unusual. Blue and Tan Frenchie - Blue coated French Bulldog puppy with tan points usually around paws and face. A sable Frenchie usually looks like a fawn Frenchie with darker black hairs covering throughout the coat. There are rare Frenchies with cream or tan sable coats as well. Isabella French bulldogs Isabella color in French bulldogs come from dilution of the recessive gene. A Frenchie puppy can be born with a blue coat and mature to a more of a pale greyish brown or golden coat. For a puppy to acquire this rare coat color he or she needs to have the genotype dd. DNA of an Isabella Frenchie puppy will be ddbb which means that he or she will have two copies of each chocolate and blue gene. The Isabella Frenchie is the only lilac that is testable for the chocolate gene therefore some French Bulldog breeders consider the Isabella to be the true lilac. This rare French bulldog color is usually the most expensive due to their stunning looks and variety of rare coats. Isabella Frenchies usually look different with lighter shades of noses and eyes. Why are they so much more expensive than other popular breeds? Most Frenchies can't have live babies the normal way. They have narrow hips that aren't designed for natural birth. The high price tag reflects the expense of artificial insemination and c-sections to deliver the puppies. They also require constant attention and care when they are born. They require many health and genetic exams. These dogs have always been expensive. Reports have it one of the wealthy individuals named Robert Williams Daniel who survived the Titanic had his Frenchie along with him. While Robert survived when the ship sank on April 15th, sadly his French Bulldog did not make it. Many breeders would agree good breeding practices can greatly reduce the risks of genetic disorders that can lead to hearing loss, hip problems, and respiratory illness in French Bulldogs. Buying a well bred French Bulldog can help avoid a lifetime of vet bills and care. You are much more likely to get a happy, healthy dog who can enjoy a full, rich life. Merle is a pattern in a dog's coat. Merle French Bulldogs can have tiger stripes, spots, or patches. These come in different colors and patterns and are determined by heredity and genetics. Health issues can occur when two merle dogs are bred, therefore breeders usually mate a merle parent with a solid coat parent. While Merle French Bulldogs can be quite exotic and strikingly beautiful, this kind of breeding can come with a number of serious problems from skeletal defects to blindness to deafness to increased fetal mortality. This is why it is extremely important to choose a reputable Frenchie breeder. The blue merle is the rarest of colors that exist in the Frenchie breed. They are best described as gray with spots or how we like to call them cookies N' cream. They are so different from the standard common French Bulldog however, being that rare may not be a great thing especially when one considers all the health problems blue and merle Frenchies can have. It is important to mention that some merle French Bulldogs can live a healthy uneventful life. It is critical and essential to find a reputable breeder with good breeding practices especially when considering a rare color Frenchie. Also expect a blue merle to come with a hefty price tag. One of the most in-demand of rare colors is the Lilac French Bulldog. The lilac Frenchies are only produced occasionally and usually by breeders limited to the West Coast of the United States. They have a purple lilac coat color that can be quite attractive. Price is always higher than the already expensive standard French Bulldog puppy. Excellent Lilac Frenchies have a distinct color and vibrant eyes. This happens when they receive a combination of chocolate and blue DNA from both parents. As you can imagine, this rarely occurs. The Lilac coat can range from cool blue to a very classy looking silver and purple hue. Some have white markings on their chest and face. Another rare trait are their light colored eyes. This remains from the time they are puppies throughout life unlike the standard French Bulldog. The rarest colors of French Bulldogs are blue, lilac, blue and tan, and chocolate and tan. Add that Merle coats. A blue merle is perhaps the rarest of them all. In a world where a standard French Bulldog costs several thousand dollars, these rare colors can sell for tens of thousands. Since rare color Frenchies are prone to health and genetic problems , it is extremely important to find a reputable breeder who uses responsible breeding techniques with the right precautions otherwise you may be sinking your life savings into a dog that will be at the vet all the time, will be sick and may die prematurely. Rare Frenchies are just that - rare. Active breeders may only see one every few years if at all. Most rare colors are produced by breeders who specialize in producing them at a more frequent rate. Breeding rare color French Bulldogs is serious business. Most rare color breeders are running family operations dedicated to become experts in producing the highest quality rare French Bulldogs possible. Breeders expect to spend a significant amount of time answering your questions and sending you information. Be sure to ask them questions about the health of the puppy, their bloodline, and what to expect. The Frenchie is sweet and charming. It's no wonder so many people love their little Frenchie. These dogs are compact, muscular, lovable, and oh so smart. They are just right for apartment life and smaller homes with diminutive yards. Rare colors in French Bulldogs are perhaps the most exciting development in this already delightful breed. Rare colors in this breed can come with health issues so it is imperative to seek a reputable breeder who specializes in rare colors which will greatly reduce the risks of genetic disorders.

Shouting, screaming or hurting the dog creates confusion. Abuse creates fear, not correction. The pup must understand the rules. A teething puppy nips because the pressure feels good against the sore gums. Give the pup a soft icy chew toy, not a whack across the head and a lot of senseless screaming. Punishment should be for intentional bad acts, such as biting someone intentionally. Even then, temper the demeanor. Help the pup understand what he did wrong. Abusing a dog will kill the cheerful, friendly companion spirit that dogs offer. Beating the puppy because he pooped on the floor yesterday serves no purpose. He has no clue why the owner is angry. He may not even remember doing his business at that spot. The Labradoodle has learned that you are aggressive and cruel. Physical abuse creates mistrust and fear. It is inhumane and intolerable to abuse any living thing. A deliberate act of aggression needs corrected. A person who gets angry and violent while the puppy is learning needs to give up the puppy and get immediate counseling for anger management. No friendship or trusting environment exists when abuse and unfairness exist. Just like dealing with toddlers, correction and discipline are appropriate during or immediately after the wrongdoing. The pup's attention span is short. The Labradoodle most know why he is in trouble. Build trust by gently showing displeasure the first time you catch him misbehaving and remember to praise him for doing things right. Screaming or hurting the puppy when arriving home to find a mess associates a beating because the owner came home. The Labradoodle is going to cower and hide the next time the front door opens. Praise the pup for doing his business at the correct spot. That reaffirms his belief of where to do it and makes him happy that the owner is pleased. Labradoodles are loving and forgiving. The owner's temper tantrum once or twice will make him hesitant about trust. Cruelty lasts long in the dog's memory. Restoring trust and earning forgiveness will take work, but the results are worth it. The Labradoodle has to learn what the owner wants. He is anxious to please and recognizes some things that make the owner happy. That does not mean he has learned the owner's language in just a few short weeks. Formal training involves a class with the owner, giving the pup and owner an opportunity to learn what is expected and understand one another. The dog is smart but not a mind reader. He was not born with a clear concept of expectations. Teach him right from wrong. Correction shows the pup how to change. Use appropriate punishment for repeated actions. Commend good behavior. A happy, loved dog is easier to train. An untrained dog is not responsible for his actions. That blame falls directly on the ignorant, untrained owner.

Last November, Joshua Lewis, 35, was left alone with a 1-year-old Labradoodle, Charlie, while its owner was out of town. She immediately returned home to her Labradoodle, and when she confronted Lewis, he allegedly said his anger got the best of him, cops said. In April , deputies said Lewis encountered an elderly Maltese named Cocoa. Cocoa was sick with cancer, and relieved itself in the house. Upon the discovery, Lewis allegedly threw Cocoa out of the house, and when he later went back to bring Cocoa back inside, the year-old senior pup tried to bite him and ran away, authorities said. When Lewis was eventually able to retrieve Cocoa, he allegedly tossed the pup back onto the deck and left the senior dog in the Florida sun, authorities said. Two days later, Cocoa had to be put down as a result of the extensive injuries suffered. Following an investigation, Lewis was arrested and charged with two counts of animal cruelty. He remains behind bars, pending a court date next month. Related Stories.

Typically older puppies will cost more than younger puppies. Always check with your local Boxer breeders to see what they are asking for their pups before agreeing on a purchase. The price does not include any necessary veterinary care such as vaccines and medical treatment if needed, so always remember to factor these expenses into your financial consideration when shopping around for boxers. The cost will vary depending on the breeder, the lineage of the animal, and location in Kentucky. Breeders could charge different prices based on what type of lines their dogs are coming from. If your dog is registered with the AKC American Kennel Club , this could increase its worth significantly when selling to another person or purchasing it. How to Find A Responsible Boxer Breeder in Kentucky Finding a responsible boxer breeder in Kentucky can be very rewarding, but it can also be difficult, time-consuming and stressful. There are many things to consider when looking for a reputable breeder. The first thing that you should do is research. Search online for reviews to see if the person or business has had any issues with previous customers or breeders. If they have, contact these people and ask them about their experience. The more positive reviews you find, the better the chances of finding a good breeder. Also, check out local message boards and Facebook groups — there might be something posted where other people in your area talk about their experiences with different breeders or share information about their favorite breeders to help give insight on who could be a good option for you. If the breeder has a website, look at their site to get a feel for what kind of person they are and how much information they share with their customers. Their website should have pages about their facilities, photos of the dogs and puppies, health guarantees offered on their pups, and more. Remember that it is important to find an ethical and responsible breeder who cares about the dogs and that will guarantee their health. Stay away from calling and asking about prices and availability on the phone. The breeder should want to meet with you and talk about their puppies before giving any kind of price quotes or discussing what is included with the cost of one of their pups. Visit your chosen boxer breeder in person at their location. Talk to the people who work there and ask questions about the dogs and even about themselves You can tell a lot just by talking to people and asking questions, so use this opportunity to learn as much as you can about the breeder. Visiting your potential breeder will also give you a chance to see their facilities and to meet the parents of any puppy that you may take home with you. Look around carefully and ask questions about the animals and what is required of future owners. The breeder should be knowledgeable about the breed, health-conscious, and willing to answer your questions. This includes emailing back and forth or even using video chat so that you can see where the puppies are kept and how other people who have bought from this breeder interacted with them. Price should not be your first priority when looking for boxer breeders in Kentucky. A responsible boxer breeder in Kentucky should be able to give you the names and phone numbers of people who have purchased puppies from them. The best breeders are usually focused on making sure that their pups go home with loving families, so they want to make sure that anyone who buys one of their dogs is responsible. When you do call these people up, ask about the process of buying their pup. If they had any issues or concerns with the breeder, this should be brought up during your conversation. If you follow these steps, you should have no problem finding the right person or place to buy your new puppy from. Meeting past customers will give you a chance to talk to people who have already bought their boxer from this breeder. Talk to them about the process of buying their puppy, and ask if they had any concerns or issues with the breeder in question. There are many Boxer breeders in Kentucky that care about their animals and will only sell their pups to ethical homes. Do your research before you visit anyone, make sure you visit the location of the puppies if possible or speak over video chat , and make sure that all references are checked before agreeing on a purchase or payment. You should ask your breeder the name of the veterinarian they use. You may call and ask for a reference from that vet if needed. A board-certified veterinary surgeon or specialist is a good choice for a dog with orthopedic problems. Hip dysplasia is common in dogs and often requires surgery. It may seem like an off-the-wall question at first because you are just looking for a Boxer Puppy but remember that this dog will be part of your family for many years to come so it is important that he is healthy. The cost of having your Boxer examined by a Veterinarian should not influence your decision on where to buy your puppy from. Although you are excited to welcome your new family member into your home, spending a few hours preparing will ensure that both you and your pup have a safe and comfortable environment in which to play. If you already have a crate at home that you use for traveling or other purposes, this would be an ideal time to introduce him to his new box. While in the cage, give him some toys and treats so he will get accustomed to spending time inside until he gets older. It will also give him a place to call his own and create a den-like environment inside the crate. Try acquiring different types of toys like fuzzy stuffed animals or rubber balls that he can easily pick up in his mouth. Of course, make sure not to leave any type of chew toy unsupervised because accidents can occur if they are eaten by mistake.

Initially, they grow rapidly. At this point in their development, puppies are unable to see, hear, or chew on anything. Since they are still developing rapidly, they will spend all of their time nursing from their mother and sleeping. There will be more playing and discovering. Since they will have begun to learn to regulate their bladder, they will soon be able to get up from bed whenever they need to urinate or defecate. Housebreaking may begin as early as 8 weeks, and by 9 weeks, they are ready to start learning basic instructions. This is because your puppy is shedding teeth. To avoid your puppy from developing destructive habits, you should always provide safe, chewable toys within easy reach. Between the ages of 4 and 6, you should keep up with your training. A well-trained puppy will respond to your voice and other basic instructions. The puppy will learn most of its behaviors from you. When they are 6 months old, pugs typically weigh approximately 10 pounds. By 10 months, a Pug should weigh about 17 pounds, giving or taking a few ounces since some dogs are larger or smaller than average. You may expect your dog to be done teething now. Adult The eventual weight of your adult pug will be heavily influenced by his or her gender, the level of activity he is exposed to, and the quality of food he is fed. The average adult pug weighs between 16 and 20 pounds. How Big Do Pugs Get? Pugs achieve their full adult size during the ninth month, however they may continue to gain weight until the first year. In contrast to the rest of their body or limbs, an abnormally large head and paws indicates that the dog is still developing. You can now take your dog to a lab and get a DNA test to learn its family tree. Pug Growth Chart Adult male pugs usually reach a height of 10 to 12 inches at the withers and a weight of 16 to 20 pounds. Female pugs are often smaller than their male counterparts, with an approximate height of 10 inches and bodyweight of 14 to 16 lbs. One further thing to keep in mind is that pugs, like many other little dog breeds, tend to be on the smaller side. When your Pug is standing tall, measure from the maximum height between its shoulders withers. Measure from the floor up to the withers. Pugs often range in size from 10—14 inches in height. The surgical process known as spaying is performed on female dogs, during which their eggs and womb are removed. Neutering, on the other hand, is performed on male dogs, during which their testicles are removed. Your Pug should be spayed or neutered around he age of 4 — 7 months, depending on which option you choose. There are a number of advantages to spaying your Pug, including the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, a lower chance of developing cancers of the uterus, ovaries, and breasts, and improved overall health. On the other side, sterilization eliminates the possibility of offspring being produced and lowers the danger of prostate illness and testicular cancer. Additionally, it lessens the occurrence of aggressive behaviors and problems associated with marking territory. French Bulldog vs Pug Size Male French bulldogs normally weigh around 16 — 28 pounds and reach 11 to 12 inches in height at the shoulder, making them bigger than pugs. Female Frenchies often weigh 16 to 24 lbs and stand between ten and eleven inches tall. Pugs are indeed a smaller breed, with males standing 10 to 12 inches height at the withers and weighing 16 to 20 pounds. Female pugs are somewhat smaller, standing 10 inches tall and weighing 14 — 16 pounds on average. It is crucial to note, however, that size varies greatly inside every breed and may be impacted by a range of variables including food, activity, and heredity. Pugs, like people, may benefit from regular exercise yet still gain weight. Your dog will naturally be on the tinier side if he was the runt of litter. Not all pugs will be affected by these diseases. There is a noticeable size difference between male and female pugs, with the latter often being the smaller of the two sexes. Nutrition The food you provide your dog has a major impact on how much it weighs. Dogs have dietary preferences, and not all dog diets are created equal. In addition, your dog should be fed more often, but with careful attention to both the quality and amount of food it receives. All dog food should start with meat as the primary component. How well and how healthy your pug grows depends on the food he eats. Pugs may not be the most active of dogs, but they still need enough playtime and exercise to be in excellent shape. The more active they are, the less probable it is that they will gain weight. To maintain normal growth and development, pug puppies require the optimum quantity of food. Pug pups should eat high-quality small-breed puppy chow. Small breeds require greater protein and calorie diets to sustain their quick development. Growing pug puppies should have a waist and ribs that can be touched but not seen. Feeding your skinny dog more may help. However, overweight puppies may require less food. Divide the appropriate daily food into smaller portions and give your puppy several times a day. This prevents bloating and obesity in petite breeds like pugs. To keep your pug healthy, weigh them regularly every month. Underweight or overweight pugs may have health issues. Body condition is a simple method to tell whether your pug is overweight or underweight. Healthy pugs have a waist and ribs that can be touched but not seen. Use a bodily condition score sheet to assess your pug. These charts show a healthy pug and might help you determine whether yours is overweight or underweight. You may also ask your vet if your pug is a healthy weight. They may assess your condition and advise on weight management. You may use the pug growth chart as a reference to help you determine whether or not your pug is on the appropriate development curve, but you should keep in mind that the chart is just a recommendation. Talk to the doctor about any concerns you have about your pug. You can assist your pug in achieving a healthy weight if it is either overweight or underweight. If your pug seems to be underweight, you should either give them extra food or switch to a diet that has more calories. Reduce the amount of food your pug is eating and try to persuade them to do more physical exercise. Always seek the advice of your trusted veterinarian in order to choose the best course of therapy for your pug. Every six months is the recommended interval between weighing your Pug, according to the conventional guideline. This applies to both puppies and mature dogs. If your Pug suffers from any medical concerns, you need to weigh them more frequently because some diseases might cause fluctuations in weight. In order to weigh your Pug while you are at home, you will need a bathroom scale. First, while you are holding your Pug, walk on the scale, and make a note of the number. The second step is to do a self-weigh without carrying your Pug. In the end, you may determine the difference by subtracting the first weight from the second weight. This is how much weight your Pug has. Pug Genetics And Common Health Problems Pugs are not immune to the possibility of developing hereditary diseases; this is true of all dog breeds. A few examples are as follows: Dry eye, corneal ulcers, and proptosis in which the eyeball is positioned too far forward in the socket are all potential complications for their eyes. Medications exist to alleviate the discomfort caused by ulcers and dry eye. Your dog has to visit the doctor ASAP since proptosis may lead to blindness. Only pugs are susceptible to encephalitis, a fatal brain illness. Circling, seizures, and even blindness are all symptoms. Legg-Perthes disease is a joint disorder characterized by a decrease in femoral blood flow and subsequent disintegration of the femur. This may sometimes be helped by surgery. This disease, known as hemi-vertebrae, is more common in pugs with short noses. Final Words Because pugs are a small breed of dog, it is probable that they would have a longer lifespan than you would find with a bigger breed of dog. This is something that you might see with larger breeds. The average lifespan of a pug is 13 years, but it may vary anywhere from 13 to 15 years depending on how healthy the dog is and whether or not he has any health concerns that might shorten his life. Overall, pugs have the potential to live a happy and long life provided that their weight is managed appropriately. When they are between Between one and seven yeas old, they are regarded as being at the height of their potential; beyond that, they are categorized as senior dogs.

Pug Dog Weight Overweight Pugs Overview It's not uncommon for owners to be concerned and worried that they have a fat and overweight Pug. They remember that rather trim adolescent and the next thing that they know, they look at their older Pug and wonder if they somehow got out of shape. If this is indeed the case, steps should be taken to help a Pug slim down. However, many Pugs are incorrectly classified as being overweight. Let us first remember that the Pug is an unusual and unique dog. This is true for many reasons, however the one that we are going to talk about here is the shape of the dog. There are, of course, many different shapes of dogs.The set genetic physical appearance of any certain dog not only dictates certain qualities such as length of snout or expected size, it also dictates the very body structure of the canine. So, What Shape is a Pug? The Pug has a barrel or log shaped body. And because of this, the adult Pug will never have a lean, sleek appearance. Even when the dog has a low percent of body fat and is completely healthy in every way, he or she is going to look like a Pug; And this means that they will be short, thick and stout. This is part of what makes this breed so adorable looking. Some say that the Pug is so ugly that it is cute. We disagree! We, and many owners all around the world, appreciate this breed for what it is and can appreciate the beauty in that wrinkled up face, round body, short legs and curled up tail. Why Pugs Become Overweight While all adult Pugs will have a short, beefy, wide-chested and barrel shaped body, this breed can additionally be prone to packing on excess weight. This happens due to a combination of the following factors: 1 Overeating - This breed often has a very hearty appetite and most are not that picky about food. They can and often do gulp down anything given to them. When you add on possible breathing problems during hot, humid weather, a Pug can become overweight when his calorie intake exceeds the amount of fuel that his body burns off. A senior needs less calories per day than an adult, though the appetite often remains the same. This can cause a small amount of weight gain each month that adds up over the course of a couple of years. Along with this, they are sure to note that the Pug 'should be hard of muscle but substance must not be confused with overweight'. How Much Pugs Really Weigh Despite the 'ideal' standards, a pet Pug can weigh more than this and not be considered overweight. While a healthy weight is determined by several factors including age and individual body structure, a Pug may be up to 21 pounds 9. With this said, once a Pug tops 22 pounds 9. If you notice that your Pug is over expected weight during the second half of the first year of growth - even before he reaches his final size - you may need to evaluate things at that time. Here is a general guideline: Puppies should never be put on a diet. It is expected for them to have a round appearance and extra fat helps them maintain proper sugar levels and regulate body temperature. There will be starts and stops, but generally you want to see an increase over that first year. By the 6 month mark, a Pug will be between 7 and 12 pounds 3. At just around 9 months old, growth will slow down. By the 1 year mark, a Pug should be at his final adult weight, give or take 1 or 2 lbs. Ways to Know if a Pug is Overweight It would be great to tell you the exact amount of weight that your dog should weigh. However, there are many variables.You can have a 14 lb. Aside from that, here are some guidelines:: 2 If a female adult is 19 pounds 8. Sometimes owners do not notice and it takes a unbiased 3rd party to point it out. Very overweight Pugs will clearly have too much fat, giving them a very bloated and uncomfortable appearance. Going up steps, climbing onto the sofa and other normal activities will become difficult. With such short legs, extra fat around the chest, belly, shoulders and back will interfere with his ability to walk and play as he used to. But many owners wonder why. For a Pug, excess weight can can often does severely affect his overall health and even cuts his life expectancy by years. It's bad for a Pug to be overweight for several reasons: 1 Breathing problems will become worse - With extra fat all around the neck, chest and face this impedes breathing even more than it already is for this brachycephalic breed. Knees, hips and back are all affected. Pugs that are too heavy will have joint damage, bone and ligament damage. Often, there is too much stress on the heart. If overweight, skin and coat problems only get worse. How to Help a Pug Dog Lose Weight Safely One of the elements that comes into play and makes this a bit of a challenge is that in order to lose, a dog should ingest less calories and exercise to burn more. With a Pug, exercise is not easy; With existing or potential breathing issues, it can be very dangerous to push this dog to run a mile with you.Or to play Frisbee for an hour. Not only can they have trouble breathing during these activities, they can also overheat very easily. Here are some tips to help your Pug lose weight: 1 Health check - Your Pug should have a complete veterinary examination to check for any weight related health issues or other health problems. Some issues such a high blood pressure may need to be controlled with prescribed medication as part of a healthy plan to get your dog back on track. The best way to help a Pug lose weight is to offer the same amount of food yet have it contain fewer calories. You can do this by switching your Pug's current dog food formula to a low-calorie formula. This may be labeled as 'healthy weight' or 'low fat'. For example, Wellness Complete Small Breed Healthy Weight is the low-calorie option for the Wellness line, which is highly recommended. Another way to offer the same amount of food is to switch out some of the higher calorie kibble for lower calorie ingredients, such as certain vegetables and certain fruits. Good choices include green beans, spinach, kale, blueberries, and raspberries. There are many healthy snacks for Pugs that can take the place of heavy calorie-laden treats. In fact, Fruitables Skinny Minis Dog Treats is a line of super-tasty treats with just 2 to 3 calories a piece and there are lots of awesome flavors like pumpkin and mango, pumpkin and berry, and pumpkin and apple. As long as the vet gives the 'go ahead', each week, this should be increased by 5 minutes until his normal walking time each day is doubled. For example, if you normally took your Pug for one minute walk, the goal will be to add on 5 minutes per week for a final walking time of 40 minutes per day. This can be split up into two 20 minute walks or a 30 minute walk in the morning and a shorter 10 minute jaunt in the evening. Be sure to increase duration, not the pace. If a Pug, and particularly an overweight one, is forced to exert himself too much, this can cause heavier breathing , increased heart rate and strain on the body. Keeping at a pace that is brisk for the Pug is all that is needed, taking breaks as needed. Finally, be sure to use a harness for your Pug - which should be done at any rate - since the tension of a collar on leash will be more constricting than ever. How Fast a Pug Should Lose Weight A slow yet gradual loss should be the goal since fast weight loss can only be accomplished by food deprivation and overexertion in the exercise department. A reduction of. This was done over the course of 4 months, from November to February .Note: Before photo was at age 7. After photos are at 8 years old.

Once in a while, she would share her owner's Caesar salads another low calorie, health choice. Since Gabby was already walking 3 to 4 times per day, exercise was not increased. This Pug has maintained her weight loss for just about a year now and is bound to have a much healthier and more comfortable life. It's easy to slip back into bad habits and all that effort will have been in vain. Here's some tips: 1 Keep in mind that your new, longer exercise sessions with your dog are the new 'norm' and should be followed each day. In fact, once your Pug is no longer carrying excess weight, you'll find that he may be more open to new activities such as hiking around a lake, exploring the coast and generally enjoying the outdoors more than ever. It's never a good idea to remind a dog about an unhealthy snack that tasted great once he is used to his new, healthier eating plan. Rewards can be praise, toys or even a new game that you play together. All rights reserved.

There are two average Pug heights; males at .You should also consider other factors such as Pugs that are considered runts of the litter that may well never reach .Consequently, you can expect smaller than average Pugs to weigh a little less than the recommended guidelines. Ensuring your Pug remains a healthy weight may be challenging at times, but it is possible and helps to ensure your four-legged companion has a long, healthy and happy life. Here are ways to tell if a Pug is expecting puppies. How much should a Pug weigh at 4 months? But what about Pug puppies who are probably now settled into their new home? How much should a Pug at 4 months weigh? A 4-month-old Pug should weigh in at around 2 kg to 3. At 6 months of age, a Pug should weigh between 3. Assess their appearance As mentioned, a common rule of thumb when assessing the weight of a Pug should be is to look to their ribs. Pugs of a healthy weight should also have a visible waistline that is slightly smaller than their chest, and the base of their tail should have a small layer of fat that is smooth to the touch. They get tired and overexerted easily When Pugs are out of shape and overweight, they will become fatigued after just a few steps, panting a lot or wanting to stop already only minutes into your walk. Now obvious, Pugs are a brachycephalic breed meaning they pant at the best of times, but I am referring to small walks, such as walking up a few steps or meters or so in a straight line with no incline. If this seems to be happening more often than it should, and you can rule out other external factors such as hot weather as being the cause, it is time to consult your vet about a diet and exercise plan. Why are Pugs more prone to weight-gain? However, Pugs are one of the few dog breeds that do not possess that ability of knowing when to stop — if left to their own devices, they could possibly even eat themselves to death. Their owners need to remain extra vigilant in order to ensure that they do not overindulge and end up harming themselves as a result due to being overweight. Owners need to keep mealtimes to twice a day with controlled, limited portions in order to ensure the wellbeing of their dog. As well as this, Pugs, especially when they approach a more senior age, tend to be a lot less active when they get older. If left to their own devices, they will run around and play a lot less than is healthy for them, and as with humans, this lack of exercise contributes to them gaining weight. Conclusion If you choose a Pug as your pet, rest assured that you have gained an adoring best friend for life who most of the time will be easy going and loveable. It is just something to discuss with your vet to make sure your dog has a happy, fulfilling and healthy life.

An owner can have a Pug in this teens that still loves to run around the park! Let's look at the milestones that a Pug will enter from birth until the senior years. Birth to 8 Weeks - Many owners do not see this stage, however newborn Pug puppies double and triple their weight very quickly. Newborns will sleep up to 22 hours per day. Those at the 8 week mark will sleep up to .Growth is going to be rapid. It will last several months. Females will have their first heat if not spayed. Males will have viable sperm. Though technically a female can become pregnant at this young age, breeding is recommended at the age of 1 year old or older. Males should be at least 9 months old. Some Pug puppies will stop growing by the age of 9 months. For others, just a few pounds will be gained from now until the 12 month mark. By the time, full height is usually reached. The adult Pug will fill out in width, most noticeable in the chest area. The dog is muscular and will not grow any larger. Extra weight gain at this point may be deemed unhealthy. Pugs that gain a significant amount of weight after the age of 18 months should be checked out by the veterinarian. The Pug dog is muscular and in his or her prime. Most vets will classify a dog as a senior by age 7 or 8. Even if this is not officially done, 9 years would be the limit that one could hold off on dubbing the Pug a senior. Pug Weight and Growth Chart This chart will give you a guideline for what to expect in how fast your Pug grows and how quickly he will gain weight. An 8 week old Pug puppy will weight between 2 and 4 pounds. Though the AKC breed standard gives us a final full size of pounds 5. It's a funny thing because the changes happen gradually and owners usually do not notice.And then, one day it reaches a certain point and the owner will say, "When did my dog get old!? Your dog may show a bit of difficulty when rising from a down position. He or she may walk slower up a staircase. A quality canine mattress is recommended for any age, however during the senior years an orthopedic canine bed is more important than ever. Expect an older Pug dog to take more naps and retreat more often due to a lower tolerance for noise levels. When your dog reaches the age of 8 or 9, it will be time to give a bit more attention to certain grooming techniques. Skin looses its elasticity and cleaning wrinkles will be more important than ever. An older Pug will be more susceptible to infections. Take extra time to clean the folds and keep them dry. Your Pug's veterinarian should be performing more thorough tests, especially for sugar levels. Eye exams are very important, as well. Just as with humans, an older Pug may be more susceptible to developing diabetes, arthritis , have problems with joints and their bones may be more brittle. The pounds that they have been carrying around and the body structure that they have short legs especially have been taking its toll. At this age, excess weight be a problem. It is recommended to make a gradual change in the diet, to ensure that meals have a higher count of nutrients specifically for aging pets. If you previously gave no-so-healthy snacks, make an effort to change over to a solid, healthy meal and snack plan. It will be time to make a change in regard to a vitamin and mineral supplement, switching to a senior formula. Additional supplements can be helpful depending on a Pug's specific needs. Most often, this breed does best with supplements to aid in joint health. Omega 3 can help to keep the skin and coat healthy and combat drying issues. The intensity of exercise should be scaled back a bit for seniors ; though daily duration of activity should remain as normal if the older Pug can handle it. It is still important go for walks so that a dog's heart stays healthy; movement is very necessary. However, once your Pug dog is a senior, you do not want to overdo activities as an older heart will not be able to handle what a younger heart was able to. It is during this time that you want to make the household as quite and peaceful as possible. Unless you absolutely must, do not move your furniture or make any changes that could cause stress or confusion. Creatures of habit, dogs know where things are and it can be disturbing if the environment is changed. The ability to hold elimination may weaken as bladder and bowel muscle loose some strength. At this time, you may want to start using doggie diapers. As odd as they may look, this will help your Pug and your home stay sanitary. If your senior does have accidents, never scold or punish. This is a normal process of aging. A loving owner, will of course, want to spend every moment that is left by showing compassion and care. All rights reserved.

Here is how to make sure you feed them well: Buy your pug the right food. You need to focus not only on feeding your pug but nourishing them as well. Not all dog foods are suitable for your pug. Pick food with a recipe that energizes them and has the right ratios of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to keep your pug lean. They are high in protein and fiber and low in fats. Alternatively, you can feed your fat pug with low-calorie ingredients such as raspberries, blueberries, kales, spinach, and green beans.

A cooling vest for pugs can help keep your pug cool. Health Check If you suspect your pug is overweight, take them to the vet before starting any weight-loss tactic.

The following are 28 awesome Chow Chow mixes: 1. The majority of these mixed breeds have faces that resemble those of a Husky rather than a Chow Chow. Regardless of whose parent is dominant, these hybrids are smart, playful, and protective of their humans. They are also friendly and tend to get along with other dogs if they have been well-socialized as puppies. Aside from grooming, this mix can also be a picky eater, just like a Siberian Husky. This dog is independent and attentive in nature. They may also have protective instincts like a German Shepherd, yet they are more sociable than purebreds. These German Shepherd Chow Chow mixes are relatively large, standing 23 to 25 inches tall and weighing around 70 to 80 pounds. They have a solid, strong, and muscular frame. These canines are generally healthy and often live for 12 years. But like any other dog, they can also have health problems associated with their breed. Meanwhile, a Chow Shepherd is likely not the perfect dog for you if you have small children. Despite being trainable, they occasionally exhibit the irritability and aggression that the GSD breed is known for, especially the black ones. This mix is a smart dog with a beautiful, dignified demeanor. If properly cared for, they surely make excellent family dogs. The Shar-Pei Chow Chow mix has a long, thick, and soft coating that requires brushing on a regular basis. By doing this, tangles will be avoided, and their stray hairs will be removed. Walking out or engaging them in modest activities will increase their likelihood of living to their typical life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. Often, this mix has baggy, wrinkled skin that is mostly found on the head and neck. They are medium-sized dogs, much like their Shar-Pei parent, which stand at around 18 to 20 inches and weigh approximately 65 pounds. Furthermore, this hybrid dog is a medium-sized dog that weighs between 50 and pounds and stands between 23 and 24 inches. These measures make them a bit smaller than Rottweilers. Their ears are average-sized, with medium-dense long coats that cover their bodies. But some of these mixed-breed dogs can grow with shorter coats when they have predominantly Rottweiler genes. When it comes to coat coloration, genetics plays the most important part. The majority of this breed shares the tan and black coloring of the Rottweiler breed. The first pup of this hybrid was born in at Hee-Ho Kennels. This mix is said to be the perfect mix of Akita and Chows. Evidently, they acquire affection and intelligence from Akitas, and their kind nature and unique features like black masks around their eyes or paws come from Chows. Moreover, the coat of this mix is slightly short but in case one of its parents was a long-haired Akita , the results might be longer.

As a result, training the Belgian Shepherd Chow mix will be a little difficult because they could end up having the personalities of either one or both of its dog parents.

As for the size of a Border Chow, you can expect them to be small to medium-sized dogs. While both parent breeds are the same height, they differ in weight.

With that, it is best if they are trained early to prevent them from acquiring undesirable behaviors. But when you start training them, be careful about the amount of treats you give since they are prone to becoming obese. These hybrids are known for having challenging personalities. However, with the right owner, this adorable dog could become more playful, outgoing, and a loving companion, particularly if its pet parents are a female Chow Chow and a male Shiba Inu. Because this mixed dog is somewhat of a new breed, there are only a few standards for how it should look. But since its Chow Chow and Shiba Inu parents are both medium-sized, you can expect Chowba to be the same. Unless mated with a mini Chow or mini Newfie, these hybrids are usually large dogs with lengthy coats from both parent breeds.

However, most of these mixed pups appear to weigh around three to seven pounds. If its parent was a teacup Pom , they could even get smaller!

They also go by the nicknames Chow Poodle, Chowpoo, and Poochow. The mixed dog breed is relatively new and has no established origins. The Poodle Chow Chow mix is exceptionally fluffy, intelligent, active, trainable, hypoallergenic, non-shedding, and absolutely gorgeous! Chow Poodles normally have a single solid color that ranges from white to black. However, because the Poodle comes in various colors , the coat colors of the Poochows are basically limitless. Combining these two purebreds could produce a dog with the soft coat of a Chow Chow and the regal black of a Cocker Spaniel.

Originally bred as companion animals for the royal family, these luxury dogs have been renowned for their affectionate and devoted natures for centuries. Beginning in the late s, a small number of Pugs began to make their way from China to Europe, where they were adopted with great zeal by the ruling class of the day in England, Spain, and the Netherlands. From there, the breed spread to every corner of Western Europe, where it is still held in high regard even today. Prone to eye injuries, breathing problems, and obesity, the Pug must be cared for with an especially watchful eye throughout its life. Responsible owners and caretakers will be rewarded with a loving dog whose charming personality and lifelong devotion make every bit of special care worthwhile. Final Thoughts Owing to their incredible popularity as a friendly and outgoing dog breed, there is a tremendous variety of designer dog crossbreeds that feature Pugs. A mixed-breed can inherit any combination of traits from their parents. Should a Pug Mix take after their Pug parent, they will be an affectionate, social dog that loves their families. A Pug tends to be playful, social, friendly, and gentle. They thrive on attention and affection and tend to get along well with children, other pets, and other dogs. As long as they are well-socialized, they also tend to be open and friendly with strangers. They can be prone to barking and it can become a nuisance behavior if you do not train your dog to stop barking early on. If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, then you can expect the same from a Pug Mix. You still want to ask the breeder about the other parent breed as they will likely introduce their own potential quirks. You can also meet the mother in person to get a sense of her temperament and see the behavior she is modeling for her puppies. Although the breeder should have started socialization and training, it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home. Pugs are moderately adaptable dogs. Although they do well in apartments as well as larger homes, they are particularly sensitive to heat and cold as a snub-nosed dog breed. They also do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. If the other parent breed is similar, then you should be able to expect the same from a Pug Mix. The other parent breed could still introduce some traits that affect adaptability, so you do want to ask the breeder about them. Mixed-breed dogs can sometimes be healthier than purebred dogs, but it is not a guarantee. They can inherit none, some, or all of the conditions common to their parent breeds. From the Pug side, potential health conditions to be aware of include eye problems, luxating patella , encephalitis, and hip dysplasia. As a brachycephalic, or snub-nosed, dog, they are prone to allergies and respiratory issues. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues on to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both of the parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. A Pug is eager to please and tends to pick up on things quickly. They tend to be a good fit for owners of all experience levels. The other parent breed could make a Pug Mix easy to train or more difficult, so you want to make sure you ask the breeder about them. A Pug Mix can inherit a coat similar to one of their parents or a coat that is truly a mix of both. Should they inherit the Pug coat, it will shed a bit year-round, require weekly brushing, and the occasional bath. Cutting nails once or twice monthly keeps them from growing too long. Ear checks on a weekly basis with careful cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. Brushing teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day in addition to cleanings at the vet as needed are ideal dental care for dogs. Pugs tend to sit in a low to moderate energy range. Usually, daily walks and some playtime are enough to keep them happy and healthy. They may be up for more activity, but can also get easily overheated. There are safe ways to exercise flat-faced dogs to help make sure they get enough activity. If the other parent breed also has a low to moderate activity level, then you can expect something similar from a Pug Mix. However, if the other parent breed is a higher energy dog, then you will want to make sure you are prepared for the potential of a high-energy dog. Fully-grown Pugs are usually inches tall and weigh pounds. The other parent breed can have a big effect on this, especially if they are the mother. Although it is not a guarantee, you can meet the mother in person to get an idea of what to expect in a fully-grown Pug Mix. A Pug generally lives for years. Although the other parent breed may affect this slightly, but you should be able to expect a similar average life span from a Pug Mix. Featured Pug Mix Article.

This exercise will keep them from being destructive. A tired dog is a good dog. A tired dog is a good dog though. What are the training requirements?

They are going to want to take the alpha position and need someone with a firm, strong, hand that can let them know their place.

Each one is unique and has different dietary requirements. Most dogs in the U. A mix like this one that is prone to hip and elbow dysplasia should really be on fish oil and glucosamine and chondroitin supplements as soon as possible.

She had a great disposition, was kind hearted and gentle with kids. After her passing we took a day trip to watch a local dog show and we fell in love with two english cream goldens that were training for therapy work. They were show stoppers! Their dark round eyes stood out against their beautiful cream-colored wavy coat and we fell in love immediately. Rudy was our first male and was everything we dreamed of. He came from a champion pedigree, had great conformation, a calm loving disposition and a desire to please which helped him earn his therapy license. At age two, Rudy joined me as the therapy dog in my 5th-6th science classroom and a year later in my kindergarten classroom. In we purchased our first female, Emma, who is full of love and a perfect dog mom. She is a puppy at heart, loves to talk to anyone who comes into our home and has mothered puppies other than her own, kittens and guinea pigs. At age 13 and 14 they are both very healthy and enjoy retired life. Rudy enjoys going on walks and getting spoiled by Grandma Cathy and Aunt Mary.

My puppy Marley just loves his food. Delighted with it. I was expecting 2X2. Apparently the offer is you buy a 12kg bag and get 2kg free making it a 14kg bag. My cream Golden Retriever loves this food. I believe it also helps with the shiny condition of his coat. I fed him on junior labrador kibble until 3 months ago and then moved onto adult kibble. He is an absolute picture of good health and I am always receiving comments on how glossy his coat is. I attribute this to the food he eats and to good care of course. I always buy two bags at a time, and Zooplus seems to beat the others on price. I sometimes get lucky and recieve the 12kg bags with 2kg extra free, an offer that comes a few times a year from RC. Zooplus service is always very good, can't fault them at all. Thanks Zooplus. She was suffering from colitis and the dried food she was on was she experienced often bouts of diarrhea. This food is excellent, she eats it without adding anything, smells nice and is moist. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Royal Canin absolutely brilliant. Comes perfectly packaged in a cardboard box, quick delivery so a win win situation. I will be back for more next month. I am very satisfied with this food. The food was recommended by the vet and by the breeder. We always soak the food in a little water before feeding it to him. I've found the feeding table very useful - helps me to make sure I'm not giving him too much or too little. After a visit to the vet, she recommended royal canin junior for golden retrievers. My little one has a new lease of life, no more problems and a superb coat. My puppy's poo was liquid when the breeder was feedin him royal canin junior, but since I've changed him over to royal canin retriever junior everything has been fine. He's growing well and is very healthy. His health is very good, no upset tummy with this product. Before using this product he did suffer from an upset tummy. And in saying that he has refused to eat all of them. Some of them he humoured me and gave them a few days before turning his nose up at them, but mostly he just refused to eat them until he was starving. So in shear desperation I decided to give the Royal Canin Pug a go. All of my research suggested it is garbage, but perhaps I really do have an adolescent dog as he ate it like he has never been fed. .I'm conscious that it probably tastes so good because its so bad for him so I've been mixing it with his healthy grain free foods and its encouraging him to eat them too although I have caught him spitting them out when he realised they weren't his Royal Canin. So, according to my research this food isn't good for your dog, and I haven't had him on it long enough to comment, but from where I stand I'd rather he live on Big Macs than starve so for me this is a great food. My 8 mt old golden loves it. It seems to half a lovely rich smell and my tody agrees also. His coat it lovely shiny and soft. Teeth stay really clean and his stool is text book perfect. I had him on orijen large breed but his stool was very wet and smelly so i changed over to this food. Orijen is too rich for my fellow. This bag should last a month and i keep it in an airtight container for total freshness. To sum up: top class food and good value for money considering my tody should have an adult weight of 38kgs and the bag lasts a month!! Do not miss out on personalised offers, discounts and coupons! Please select pet type. Every decision they make is based on years of study in their own centre and on partnerships with veterinary schools, universities and breeders.

dark brown labrador puppies - Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Click here for more information on this characteristic Goldador Overview The idea was to create a working dog with the sensitivity of the Golden Retriever and the tolerance of the Labrador Retriever. It worked. Cross them, and the result is the unequivocally genial Goldador. Thanks to their easygoing nature and keen intelligence, Goldadors have proven outstanding guide dogs, service dogs, search and rescue dogs, therapy dogs, and bomb detection dogs. But like their parent breeds, Goldadors are happiest simply working alongside a person they love. Goldadors are active and require at least half an hour of daily exercise — most enjoy retrieving games as well as hiking and swimming. Training the eager-to-please Goldador is relatively easy — they come from a long line of dogs who work closely and willingly with people. This makes them an excellent choice for first-time owners, provided they get the exercise, structure, and positive reinforcement they crave. Goldadors are also a good option for families with children though they can be a bit rambunctious for toddlers , as they want nothing more than to be part of family activities. The ideal residence for a Goldador is a home with a fenced yard, but with regular exercise and companionship they can live and thrive in apartments and condos. Whatever his home, a Goldador should live indoors with his people. Goldadors are good family dogs and generally do well with children of all ages. The Goldador sheds moderately and requires weekly brushing. Goldadors require about 30 minutes of exercise per day. They enjoy being outdoors and can make excellent jogging companions. Although a house with a fenced yard is the ideal home for a Goldador, he can do well in an apartment or condo with proper exercise. Goldadors can be a good choice for first-time dog owners. Goldador History The Goldador was first developed more than a decade ago: the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever were crossed with the hopes of creating a sensitive, tolerant working dog. The effort proved successful. At this time, there are no breed clubs or any efforts to create a breed standard for the Goldador. Goldador Size The Goldador is one of the few designer breeds with a fairly predictable size, as both parent breeds are large and similar in size and shape. The Goldador is usually 22 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs 60 to 80 pounds. Goldador Personality The Goldador is affectionate and loyal, alert enough to make an excellent watchdog, but too friendly to be an effective guard dog. His intelligence and desire to please render him highly trainable, and he responds best to positive reinforcement techniques. Socialization helps ensure that your Goldador puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog. Goldador Health Goldadors are prone to certain health conditions. Some dogs show pain and lameness on one or both rear legs, but you may not notice any signs of discomfort in a dog with hip dysplasia. As the dog ages, arthritis can develop. Hip dysplasia is hereditary, but it can be worsened by environmental factors, such as rapid growth from a high-calorie diet or injuries incurred from jumping or falling on slick floors. Elbow Dysplasia is a heritable condition common to large-breed dogs. This can lead to painful lameness. Your vet may recommend surgery to correct the problem, or medication and weight loss to control the pain. Cataracts are an opacity on the lens of the eye that causes difficulty in seeing. The eye s of the dog will have a cloudy appearance. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the body cannot regulate blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels are regulated in part by insulin, which is produced in the pancreas. Glucose sugar is needed by the cells of the body to burn for energy; insulin is the key that lets the glucose into the cell. Without insulin, the glucose cannot enter the cell, so the cells are hungry even though there are high levels of glucose circulating in the blood. A diabetic dog will eat more food to try to compensate, but he will lose weight because food is not being used efficiently. Signs of diabetes are excessive urination and thirst, increased appetite, and weight loss. Diabetes can be controlled by diet and daily insulin injections. Progressive Retinal Atrophy PRA : This is a degenerative eye disorder that eventually causes blindness from the loss of photoreceptors at the back of the eye. PRA is detectable years before the dog shows any signs of blindness. Fortunately, dogs can use their other senses to compensate for blindness, and a blind dog can live a full and happy life. Both parents should have health clearances from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals for hips, elbows, heart, and thyroid and from the Canine Eye Registry Foundation CERF certifying that the eyes are normal. Goldador Care The ideal home for a Goldador is a house with a fenced yard where he can play safely; however, he can do well in an apartment or condo if he gets daily walks or runs. Interested in dog sports? Goldadors make formidable competitors in agility and flyball. Mental stimulation is crucial as well. Teach your Goldador to fetch the paper or your slippers, practice obedience training regularly with him, and put his mind to work from time to time with an interactive dog toy. As with all dogs, positive reinforcement techniques praise, play, and food rewards work best with the Goldador. Goldador Feeding Recommended daily amount: 3. Note: How much your adult dog eats depends on his size, age, build, metabolism, and activity level. It almost goes without saying that a highly active dog will need more than a couch potato dog. For more on feeding your Goldador, see our guidelines for buying the right food , feeding your puppy , and feeding your adult dog. Goldador Coat Color And Grooming A Goldador should have the same double coat as a Labrador Retriever, with a short, thick, straight topcoat and a soft, dense undercoat some have a slight wave down the back. Weekly brushing with a rubber curry brush will remove dead hair, helping to keep it off your clothes and furniture. During seasonal shedding periods, however, daily brushing is recommended. Bathe your Goldador as needed, and be sure to give him a thorough freshwater rinse any time he goes swimming. The Goldador can be prone to ear infections, so check and clean the ears weekly. Other grooming needs include dental hygiene and nail care. Trim his nails once or twice a month, as needed. Handle his paws frequently — dogs are touchy about their feet — and look inside his mouth and ears. Goldador Children And Other Pets Goldadors are an ideal family companion and are generally gentle and loving toward children of all ages. As puppies, they can be a bit rambunctious and may knock over smaller children unintentionally, so close supervision is important. Social and easy-going, Goldadors do well with other dogs and pets, especially when raised together. Always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party. No dog, no matter how good-natured, should ever be left unsupervised with a child. Goldador Rescue Groups There are no official rescue groups for the Goldador, but this cross is frequently available at private and municipal animal shelters. More Info For You. Labrador Retriever Mix, or a Goldador Dog. The Goldador dog is a playful and good-natured, large dog. When you cross a purebred Labrador Retriever with a purebred Golden Retriever , even though both parents are recognized purebred dog breeds, the result — the Goldador — is a hybrid dog; recently known as a designer dog. Designer breeds come in a variety of coat colors and types, depending on the genes and appearance of the parent breeds. This cross-breed dog has parents with hunting and retrieving skills. They are often used as therapy dogs, guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, and other types of service dogs, even bomb detection: but not as a guard dog or watchdog!

So he crossed a wavy-coated yellow retriever sire with a Tweed Water Spaniel dam and produced 3 Golden-colored Retriever puppies. Fact: the Tweed Water Spaniel is now an extinct dog breed.

Parent 2: A brief history of the Labrador Retriever parent — a purebred dog The Labrador Retriever is the best-loved and most popular dog breed in the world!

The Newfoundland Labrador Retriever dog breed came to Great Britain around , to be used as gun dogs for retrieving waterfowl from land and water, during the shooting season, in Scotland and England. Ongoing breeding is believed to have continued the pure Newfoundland lab bloodline in our Labrador Retriever breed today. Meet the offspring: The hybrid offspring of these two purebred dogs is the Golden Retriever Lab mix — the Goldador puppy. This mixed breed puppy will be happy, affectionate, and will easily become a family member for sure. Fact: Designer dogs are increasing in popularity and so is the trend to give them a cute combo name that reflects a bit of both parent names. The Goldador puppy will inherit characteristics from both parents. What are the main characteristics of a Golden Retriever Lab Mix? Like any other crossbreed, a Labrador Golden Retriever Labrador mix can inherit the characteristics of either parent or both. Crossbreed dogs, like The Goldador, are no more likely to inherit health issues than purebred dogs; in fact, it is believed they may actually be stronger. Any mixed puppy can inherit all, some, or none of the health issues its parent breeds have. It can be heavily weighted towards the characteristics of one parent more than the other. The characteristics of The Goldador are a combination of nature and nurture: genetics of the parents, the environment, and the quality, type and amount of training and socialization. The Goldador — possible coat colors Both Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever parents have a thick, double coat: a water-resistant topcoat and a warm undercoat. Therefore the Goldador will inherit the same double coat but is likely to be short-haired like the Labrador. With its impressive and popular parent breed mix it will be loyal with a loving temperament and good around children and other dogs. It will be caring and become and active companion, that just wants to be by your side all the time. Reputation: This large Golden Labrador mix breed dog comes from two of the best-loved and most popular dog breeds.

They will still need to be trained and socialized early to teach them how to use that energy positively and learn how to behave in public. They are people-friendly and need exercise. They would not make a good guard dog, or watchdogs as they are approachable with strangers and make friends easily. So watch your slippers! Trainability: The trainability of this intelligent Golden Labrador mixed breed should be easy. The Goldador needs to be trained and socialized early as it will inherit a herding instinct and be highly active. They may attempt to take over and herd small children and smaller pets so they need to be controlled. Positive reinforcement and small treats will work well but not harsh discipline, or any form of negative punishment or physical restraint. Power and intelligence: This mixed breed dog is very intelligent, strong, and active with a herding and working drive. It will enjoy and need working challenges incorporating mental and physical stimulation, but it will be curious and want to investigate the other side of the fence. Socialization: Early socialization and discipline are strongly recommended for any crossbred dog especially those with herding and service dog parents. The Labrador Golden Retriever Mix wants to be active and occupied; if bored it may become destructive and bark. When trained and socialized this mixed breed dog will be approachable and friendly around all types of people, children, and other animals. Purpose: Any herding or working dog will want to be useful and please its owner. It will need to be trained and socialized early as it will help with control its excitement in public and develop obedience norms. It will form an early bond and lasting companionship with its owner. Either parent will still give it an athletic, well-balanced build and a strong working ethic. Breed Title Goldador Puppies Temperament Goldadors are an amazing combination of the intelligence and trainability of the Labrador and the friendly, gentle personality of the Golden Retriever. With their outgoing, friendly character and sweet disposition, Goldadors make excellent family pets around children and other animals as they have a great aptitude for understanding people. In terms of temperament, these beloved pups are highly sociable but not overly boisterous or hyper; they enjoy playing fetch but rest just as happily on your lap or at your feet while you work.

If you and your Golden Retriever Lab Mix want to upgrade the challenge, you can try joining a Dock Diving Club and compete with other dogs. Play Fetch: This is a classic outdoor game that is great to do in summer. Challenge your dog by putting a twist to the activity, you can either use a Frisbee or a tennis racquet to make the object travel farther for your Golden Labrador to retrieve and return back to you. However, you should not be working them too much because when it comes to recovering objects, both parent breeds of Golden Retriever Lab Mix can be overly enthusiastic. However, even though they are intelligent dogs and has a friendly nature, you still need to put time and effort to train them better. Both parent breeds were bred to carry things. The best way to teach your Goldador not to bark is to socialize them frequently with strangers. Use Positive Reinforcement The Labrador crossed with Golden Retriever is a sensitive type of dog, so training them using positive reinforcement will be very helpful. Make sure to avoid negative punishment-based training since this hybrid dog may end up fearing you rather than respecting you as their leader. Make it a regular routine to reward your puppy whenever they do something right. Training your Goldador consistently in a positive method will give you pet companions that are obedient and good-natured. Do Mental Exercise The Golden Retriever mixed with Lab is an intelligent dog, and they need stimulating mental activities to avoid developing any aggressive behaviors, such as nuisance barking and chewing. Without proper mental exercise, Goldador puppies will grow into a passive, timid and uninspired dog. Labrador Golden Retriever Mix and Families Despite its large size, the Labrador mixed with Golden Retriever is a great family dog because of its easy-going personality. It is extremely friendly and affectionate. The Goldador is the type of dog that goes well in a loving and active family — one that considers him as a family member. The Golden Labradors cherish the company with children. They are naturally gentle, but they can play tirelessly as long as your kids can keep up. However, due to their sheer size, supervision is still needed around toddlers and infants. The Goldadors makes an excellent therapy and companion dog. Because of their affectionate nature, they generally do well when given lots of attention and affection. These hybrid dogs love to be with people, and hence it is tough for them to cope with solitude. So give love lots of love and affection to your Goldador Lab Retriever Mix and expect that it will shower you back with love. The double coat has a soft undercoat below a rough top coat that is water resistant. Either way, their coat will be fairly high maintenance. Shedding and Grooming Your new friend is going to shed, sometimes a lot. Both parent breeds heavily shed their coats with the change of seasons twice a year. For the rest of the year, expect a moderate level of shedding. Increased brushing during transitional times can help catch the loose hairs and stop them from spreading everywhere. Golden Retriever Labrador mixes will need weekly brushing, likely more during shedding season. Their nails should be trimmed regularly as well. Are They Hypoallergenic? The Goldador dog will not be hypoallergenic. They are high shedders, spreading dander from skin and saliva liberally around your home! With designer breeds like the Golden Retriever Lab, you can only make an educated guess about their temperament based on the general demeanor of their parents as well as the temperament of the parent breeds as a whole. If they are left alone a lot, they may become very destructive to your home. They will chew out of boredom or anxiety. As many Lab lovers know, these dogs do not know a stranger. Generally, the Goldador will get on well with children and other pets. Socialization Socialization from an early age is important for any breed, including the Golden Retriever Lab. Even though it hails from overly friendly and sociable breeds, there are still no guarantees to the temperament of your dog. Since training and socialization are both best started early on, puppy training classes can be a great way to both train and socialize your puppy at the same time. Training Tips The Goldador has an easygoing and eager to please temperament that helps make them highly trainable. Owners should start training early, from the time their puppy comes home. The parent breeds have a long history as service dogs, bomb detection dogs, hunting dogs, and now therapy dogs. Obedience classes will help create a well-mannered dog but also strengthens the bond between the dog and owner. Since Goldadors grow to be large dogs, obedience is also important to prevent them from jumping up at your guests! Energy Levels Golden Retriever Labrador puppies will grow into high-energy adults with a love for playing and a passion for retrieving! A Labrador Golden Retriever Mix makes a great companion for jogging, hiking, or cycling. This is a breed that also loves to swim. Canine sports, like agility, obedience trials, and tracking, are also a great way to keep your dog physically active, mentally stimulated, and out of trouble. As a very social breed, they do best as indoor dogs, but with a large, fenced in yard to run around. In addition to self-exercise, they need walks or other forms of daily activity with their owners. Exercise is especially important for the health of your Goldador since both Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers have a tendency to develop elbow and hip dysplasia. Weight management is one way of combating these joint problems. Health and Care All pedigree dog breeds are inbred to some extent. The measure of this is called the coefficient of inbreeding COI. The higher the COI, the greater the risks of health issues arising specifically from inbreeding. In a crossbreed such as the Goldador, the COI is usually much lower than it is in a purebred dog, and this is a good thing. To begin to look at the health and care of a Goldador we first need to consider the inherited health risks from both parent breeds Labrador and Golden Retriever. Labrador Health Labrador Retrievers are prone to a few hereditary health conditions and joint problems, as well as some health issues common to most dogs. To help minimize the likelihood of hereditary health issues in your new Goldador pup, check that your breeder has followed the recommended testing for the Labrador Retriever breed: Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis HNKP. Life Span Did You Know? The Golden Labrador is a designer dog breed that originated in the United States. They are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever. The goal was to combine these two highly popular breeds to create a dog that exhibits the best traits from both of them. A mixed dog breed can take after one parent breed more than the other or any combination of traits from the parent breeds. This can result in some variation among individual puppies. But, overall, a Golden Labrador is friendly, intelligent, energetic, and affectionate. Although this mixed breed is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable organizations like the American Canine Hybrid Club and more. This large designer breed is characterized by their energetic personality and friendly disposition. Both of the parent breeds in this cross are open, friendly, and affectionate, so you can expect the same in your Golden Labrador puppy. They are very playful and get along fabulously with children, other dogs, and other pets. They may be alert enough to be a good watchdog, but they do not make good guard dogs. They are instinctually more interested in making new friends and getting attention than they are with anything else. They can have a slight prey drive, but most of the time, they are just curious and interested in playing and making friends. The Golden Labrador is a moderately adaptable dog breed. Their large size and energy tend to make them a better fit for larger homes with room to run. They can adapt well to apartment living as long as they are given enough exercise and mental stimulation. But, small spaces can be a challenge because they are large dogs that are so playful and energetic. Golden Labradors do well in just about any climate. As with most dog breeds, they are sensitive to heat and extreme cold. Because they love their families, thrive on attention, and get bored easily, they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. As a mixed breed, a Golden Labrador can inherit the potential health conditions of one or both of the parent breeds. Although the Golden Labrador is a relatively healthy dog breed, there are some potential health conditions to be aware of. These include eye problems like progressive retinal atrophy and joint issues common to large dogs like patellar luxation and hip dysplasia. Like their parent breeds, the Golden Labrador can be prone to weight gain, which does put them at risk of diabetes later in life. Reputable breeders will screen their stock to ensure genetic conditions are not being passed on to puppies. Regular vet visits, proper nutrition, and sufficient exercise can help keep your dog healthy and reduce preventable diseases. Both of the parent breeds in this cross are highly intelligent and highly trainable, so the Golden Labrador should be no different. Eager to please their owners, these dogs pick up on things quickly and respond best to positive training methods focused on praise and reward. This dog breed, like both of the parent breeds, is a great fit for owners of all experience levels, including first-time dog owners. Their high energy can sometimes be a challenge, so you may want to consider puppy training and obedience classes. This designer dog breed may be called a Golden Labrador, but they can show up in many colors. A cream, yellow, or golden coat may be the most common, but a Golden Labrador can also have a black, red, or brown coat. It tends to be a dense double coat that is short or medium in length. This dog breed will shed moderately year-round with heavier shedding sessions twice a year as the seasons change. During seasonal changes, you may want to increase to daily brushing. Not only will this make your dog more comfortable, but it will also decrease the amount of loose fur that ends up around your house. In addition to coat care, you will also need to handle nail, ear, and dental care for your Golden Labrador. Floppy ears tend to trap more dirt, moisture, and debris, which makes them more prone to developing ear infections than ears that stick straight up. Unfortunately, this is often overlooked, which is why gum disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Beyond that, you can use vet-approved dental hygiene chews and treats and even a specially-formulated dental care diet to supplement your efforts. Getting them used to it early and keeping it a positive experience can make grooming a lot easier as your puppy grows into a big dog! Plus, it can become a bonding experience that your dog looks forward to. Golden Labradors are high-energy dogs. Daily walks, playtime, and some extra activity are generally enough for this dog to stay happy and healthy. But, they will probably tire out before you do! Their friendly nature makes the Golden Labrador a great fit for trips to the dog park. Try teaching your dog how to play frisbee. With their retriever background, it could become one of their favorite activities. You can also train your Golden Labrador for several dog sports like agility, dock diving, obedience, and more. A fully-grown Golden Labrador usually stands inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between pounds. A Golden Labrador generally lives years. Although Golden Labrador is the most popular name for this designer dog breed, they are also sometimes referred to as a Goldador or a Goldador Retriever. Featured Golden Labrador Article.

The high-quality nature of the ingredients in this product ensures that it creates a thick luxurious lather despite the lack of soap — which is something other lower quality products struggle with. We really liked the scented infusions in this product that make it one of the best soothing shampoos on the market. This product honestly does everything a good Labradoodle shampoo should do, and more. Unless you have some very specific reason to try something else, this should be at the very top of your shortlist. Like the product above, this is an all natural product that contains no soap, alcohol, or chemicals in its formula whatsoever. The amount of effort 4-Legger put into its natural company ethos is quite honestly impressive. We absolutely love the cleaning power that this product provides. The zesty fresh material is antibacterial and antifungal — which means the stench causing bacteria the currently live on your pooch are going to have a very, very bad time. As an added bonus, lemongrass has a small yet significant amount of pest repellent capability inherently inside of it. This is probably a better product than our overall recommendation slightly , but there is one small issue, the price. The lather it generates is luxurious and the light fresh scent it leaves behind is pleasant too. Similarly, the delicate skin of your young Labradoodle will be nourished and protected by the various high-quality compounds inside the shampoo. The real reason we like this product is the tearless nature of the formula. This will make bath time an even more unpleasant experience for them than it usually already is — which is obviously less than ideal. The aloe vera infusion in the conditioner is generous and will leave your pooch with healthy, well-protected skin. Earthbath is a reputable brand and has a reputation for creating organic quality on the same level as 4-Legger that we chose as our runner up in the section above. However, the cleaning power it provides is more than acceptable with oat flour in its ingredient list, and the conditioner is surprisingly effective too thanks to the honey extract in the formula. The tangling and matting that is a fact of life for Labradoodles becomes much harder to remove after it has been in contact with water. Removing the tangling by grooming before bathing eliminates this issue, and it makes the post bathing grooming session quicker and easier too. Lather Them Well The thick curly hair of your Labradoodle is very dense compared to some other breeds. Run The Bath Before Calling Them In Labradoodles often get anxious around bath time, and anything that you can do to make the experience a little less stressful for them will be appreciated by your pooch. One of the worst parts about bathing for a dog is sitting around waiting for the process to start. The best way to do this is to run the bath before you call them in and make sure you have everything nearby that you need to complete the bathing session. Then you simply call them, pick them up, and put them in the tub to get on with the job. How a reasonably small dog like the this can shed so much hair in the tub while remaining cuddly and fluffy is almost magic. As you already know, hair is one of the worst things in the world for plumbing blockages, so you need to catch as much of it as you can before it makes it down the drain. Get a piece of steel wool and place it in the plug hole before you start bathing your dog. The steel wool will trap any hair it comes into contact with easily, which leaves your plumbing fully protected from your pooch. Follow the hints and tips above, and you and your pooch are going to enjoy grooming and bathing a whole lot more. We put a huge amount of effort into the product recommendations we made earlier, and we honestly think that they represent the best Labradoodle shampoos on the market in .Any of them are more than worthy of your consideration, they beat off some stiff competition to be mentioned here today and they are all winners in our eyes.
