It is very convenient being close to Portland, Oregon because it makes for a nice day trip for our adoptive families in the Portland area to visit their puppy regularly as it grows. Since My son and Daughter In Law work at home we are able to spend time both indoors and outdoors with all of the animals. However, French Bulldogs are more suited for indoor living as opposed to outdoors. We do like to bring them out when the weather is moderate. At Frenchie Kisses Kennel we keep a close watch on the dogs as we wander about and if they seem a bit tired we simply return them to our air conditioned or heated in the winter home. Luckily the weather here in Washington State does not have horrible extremes so air conditioning and a good wood stove keeps their life very comfortable. French Bulldogs overheat easily because of their overly large chest and compacted air way, along with their insistence on being active. Their bulk and being Brachycephalic makes it impossible for them to regulate their temperature efficiently. In addition, Frenchies are top heavy and therefore have a difficult time swimming. We are very cautious when exercising them during hot or humid weather, and at times must insist they take a break. Though they tend to love the water, they must not be left alone in water as they may not be able to get out after exhausting themselves trying to swim. French Bulldogs are known as non swimmers. That's not to say that they are dogs of little brain. It's more like their "can do," can't keep up with their "want to. We love that the dogs want to be with us, very close by when we are walking around on the property. Washington is Cougar country and we would not want them to wander far so we do keep a close watch on them when we have them out. They all tend to get along with the cats and we are working hard to convince them that all animals are our friends. Since the Frenchies are so rambunctious it is hard to convince all of our pets that they are sweet, friendly dogs. I have my mind set that all my pets are going to get along and I am hoping that my will is stronger than a Bulldog! The puppies are exposed to the cats at a young age to instill a respect for other animals. Our cats are everywhere we now have five the puppies can have access to. We also have volunteer feral cats, that we are pretty sure come from a catch and release program in our area as they just appear with ears notched and previously spayed or neutered. The puppies only meet one of them He has become an outside pet only does not like to be confined kitty and occasionally comes to the door to see what is going on. He is friendly with the dogs and puppies. Three of our cats are both indoors and outdoors so the puppies learn early on that cats are their friends. We now have three Chickens that wander the property during the day. We hope to also use them to condition the puppies to being comfortable with birds. This makes for very sweet gentle puppies as they mature. We are also able to care for them individually if they become sick and give them excellent medical attention. We have a wonderful vet who has taught us how to do much of the necessary medical care at home since we are 45 minutes from any Veterinarian. Sometimes without the training he has provided us we would lose puppies due to no access to immediate care. We can and do give mouth to mouth resuscitation if needed. We will do anything necessary to save a puppy or dog. We love them for the wonderful little family additions that they are. We now offer training packages for our puppies: Child Tolerance. I now x-ray the trachea's of all the dogs in my breeding program, so I produce dogs that are not exercise intolerant or have BOAS issues like the countless dogs being produce by backyard breeders, who do not breed with Purpose, they breed solely to produce pups. All my dogs live in my home, are a "BIG part of my family" and are spoiled with love and attention every day. When my girls have a litter, the pups are whelped beside my bed and monitored 24 hours a day. Training starts at birth with lots of handling and as they grow, we get more involved in desensitizing, obedience and house training. My pups go to the very best pet homes that are looking for quality before quantity. Puppies are like children and require A LOT of care, exercise, training and love. Owning either of these breeds is expensive! Everything costs more for a big dog: food, crates, bedding, medicine, veterinary care, toys, and when they chew on something with their large sharp teeth, it will most likely be destroyed in seconds.

In , Tex Avery created a very early version of Elmer Fudd and introduced him in Little Red Walking Hood , as mysterious hero whistling everywhere he goes. In this cartoon, he had a derby hat, small squinty eyes, big reddish nose, a high collar around his neck, a green long sleeve shirt, green pants, and a bald circle-like human head. At the end of the cartoon, the character tells the villain, the big bad wolf, that he is "the hero in this picture" after he hits the wolf in the head with a mallet. He then continued to make more appearances in the Warner cartoons in , such as in The Isle of Pingo Pongo made and copyrighted in , released in also Prototype-Elmer's second appearance , Cinderella Meets Fella , A Feud There Was the first time he is fully called "Elmer Fudd" , Johnny Smith and Poker-Huntas , Hamateur Night made and copyrighted in , released in , A Day at the Zoo made and copyrighted in , released in and Believe It or Else , mostly as a "running gag" character. In A Feud There Was , Elmer made his entrance riding a motor scooter with the words "Elmer Fudd, Peacemaker" displayed on the side, the first onscreen use of that name. Elmer then appeared on early merchandise and of early Looney Tunes books in and , [12] [13] and even on the lobby cards for "The Isle of Pingo Pongo" and for "Cinderella Meets Fella" with his name attached on them. Bryan , was hired to provide the voice of the hero dog character. Sometime later on in this year, some new drawings and redesigns of Elmer Fudd were being created by a character designer, Charlie Thorson. In , the Egghead-like Elmer's appearance was refined, giving him a chin and a less bulbous nose although still wearing his old clothing that he was wearing in Tex Avery's earlier cartoons and Arthur Q. Bryan's " Dan McFoo " voice in what most people consider Elmer Fudd's first true appearance: a Chuck Jones short entitled Elmer's Candid Camera , actually Elmer's Ninth appearance, in which a rabbit drives Elmer insane; the rabbit was an early appearance of what would become Bugs Bunny , beginning their long-standing rivalry. Jones would use this Elmer one more time, in 's Elmer's Pet Rabbit ; its other title character is labeled as Bugs Bunny but is also identical to his prototype in Camera. In the interim, the two starred in A Wild Hare. Elmer has a better voice, a trimmer figure designed by Robert Givens , which would be reused soon later in Jones' Good Night Elmer , this time without a red nose and his familiar hunting clothes. He is much more recognizable as the Elmer Fudd of later cartoons than Bugs is here. In his earliest appearances, Elmer actually "wikes wabbits", either attempting to take photos of Bugs, or adopting Bugs as his pet. The rascally rabbit has the poor Fudd so perplexed that there is little wonder as to why Elmer would become a hunter and in some cases actually proclaim, "I hate wittle gway wabbits! Elmer in Rabbit Fire Elmer's role in these two films, that of would-be hunter, dupe and foil for Bugs, would remain his main role forever after, and although Bugs Bunny was called upon to outwit many more worthy opponents, Elmer somehow remained Bugs' classic nemesis, despite or because of his legendary gullibility, small size, short temper, and shorter attention span. In Rabbit Fire , he declares himself vegetarian, hunting for sport only. In a few cartoons, though, he assumed a completely different persona—a wealthy industrialist type, occupying a luxurious penthouse , or, in one episode involving a role reversal , a sanitarium —which Bugs would of course somehow find his way into. In another cartoon Mutt in a Rut he appeared to work in an office and had a dog he called "Wover Boy", whom he took hunting, though Bugs did not appear. Several episodes featured Elmer differently. One What's Up, Doc? Elmer Fudd is a well-known entertainer who, looking for a new partner for his act, sees Bugs Bunny after passing caricatures of many other famous s actors Al Jolson, Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, Bing Crosby who, like Bugs, are also out of work. Elmer and Bugs do a one-joke act cross-country, with Bugs dressed like a pinhead, and when he does not know the answer to a joke, Elmer gives it and hits him with a pie in the face. Bugs begins to tire of this gag and pulls a surprise on Fudd, answering the joke correctly and bopping Elmer with a mallet , which prompts the man to point his rifle at Bugs. The bunny asks nervously: "Eh, what's up doc? Bugs tells Elmer they may be on to something, and Elmer, with the vaudevillian's instinct of sticking with a gag that catches on, nods that they should re-use it. According to this account, the common Elmer-as-hunter episodes are entirely staged. One episode where Bugs "lost" in the hunting was Hare Brush .Here, Elmer has been committed to an insane asylum because he believes he is a rabbit though it is also revealed that he is a millionaire and owns a mansion and a yacht. Bugs Bunny enters Fudd's room and Elmer bribes him with carrots , then leaves the way the real rabbit entered. Elmer's psychiatrist arrives, and thinking Fudd's delusion has affected his appearance, drugs Bugs and conditions him into believing that he is Elmer Fudd, after which Bugs starts wearing hunting clothes and acting like Elmer, hunting the rabbit-costumed Fudd, who is in turn acting like Bugs. Their hunt is cut short when Bugs is arrested by a government agent as Elmer Fudd is wanted for tax evasion. After Bugs is hauled away trying to explain that the rabbit is Elmer Fudd, Fudd breaks the fourth wall and tells the audience "I may be a scwewy wabbit, but I'm not going to Alcatwaz " as he hops away as if he had planned the whole thing. The Bugs—Elmer partnership was so familiar to audiences that in a late s cartoon, Bugs' Bonnets , a character study is made of what happens to the relationship between the two when they each accidentally don a different selection of hats Native American wig, pilgrim hat, military helmets, bridal veil and top hat, to name a few. The result is comic mayhem; a steady game of one-upmanship that ultimately leads to matrimony. He became a heavy-set, beer-bellied character, patterned after Arthur Q. Bryan's real-life appearance, and still chasing Bugs or vice versa. However, audiences did not accept a fat Fudd, so the slimmer version returned for good. This period also saw a temporary change in Elmer's relationship with Bugs Bunny. Instead of being the hunter, Elmer was the victim of unprovoked pestering by Bugs. In Wabbit Twouble , Bugs plays several gags on Elmer, advising the audience, "I do dis kind o' stuff to him all t'wough da picture! Elmer sings a variation of the old prospector's tune " Oh! Susanna " made just for this cartoon complete with the phrase "V for Victory" , with Bugs joining in just before starting to hassle Elmer. Elmer-speak He nearly always vocalised consonants [r] and [l], pronouncing them as [w] instead a trait that also characterized Tweety Bird when he would talk in his slightly raspy voice. This trait was prevalent in the Elmer's Candid Camera and Elmer's Pet Rabbit cartoons, where the writers would give him exaggerated lines such as, "My, that weawwy was a dewicious weg of wamb. The writers often gave him lines filled with those letters, such as doing Shakespeare 's Romeo as "What wight thwough yonduh window bweaks! You tweachewous miscweant! Part of the joke is that Elmer is presumably incapable of pronouncing his own first name correctly. Occasionally, Elmer would properly pronounce an "r" or "l" sound, depending on whether or not it was vital for the audience to understand what the word was. For example, in 's The Old Grey Hare , he clearly pronounces the "r" in the word "picture". Usually, Elmer mispronounces the "r" and "l" by substituting the sound of "w". Later appearances Arthur Q. Bryan died in , but the character was not completely retired at that time. Elmer made appearances in several television specials in the s and s, and some cameo roles in two of the Looney Tunes feature-film compilations. Elmer made a brief headshot cameo appearance in the final scene of Who Framed Roger Rabbit with other famous characters. Elmer would also appear frequently on the animated series Tiny Toon Adventures as a teacher at Acme Looniversity, where he was the idol and favorite teacher of Elmyra Duff , the slightly deranged animal lover who resembles Elmer in basic head design, name and lack of intellect. On the other hand, a younger version of him makes a single appearance in the episode Plucky's Dastardly Deed, and is named "Egghead Jr", the "smartest kid in class". Elmer also had a guest starring appearance on Histeria! Elmer made another appearance on Histeria! Elmer appears as part of the TuneSquad team in Space Jam. In one part of the game he and Yosemite Sam shoot out the teeth of one of the Monstars dressed in black suits while Misirlou is heard in the background, a reference TNG be early films of Quentin Tarantino. Elmer took on a more villainous role in Looney Tunes: Back in Action. He first appears as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck's co-star in a new movie, where he shoots Daffy repeatedly, and is later seen shooting Bugs per the film's script after Daffy's firing. He later appears in the Louvre museum, where he reveals himself to be a secret agent for the Acme Corporation. Elmer chases Bugs and Daffy through the paintings in the Louvre museum, taking on the different art styles as they do so. At the end, Elmer forgets to change back to his normal style after jumping out of the pointillist painting Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat , allowing Bugs to easily disintegrate Elmer by blowing a fan at him. A four-year-old version of Elmer was featured in the Baby Looney Tunes episode "A Bully for Bugs", where he kept taking all of Bugs' candy, and also bullied the rest of his friends. He was also shown with short blond hair. He appeared in most of the songs. An even more villainous Elmer appeared in two episodes of Duck Dodgers as The Mother Fudd, an alien who would spread a disease that caused all affected by it to stand around laughing like Elmer and resemble a grey-skinned version of him a parody of the Flood in Halo and the Borg in Star Trek. In Loonatics Unleashed , his descendant, Electro J. Fudd, tried to prove himself the universe's greatest hunter by capturing Ace Bunny , but settled for Danger Duck instead. Elmer himself also makes an appearance in the form of a photo which shows he presumably died at the hands of a giant squirrel. He was again voiced by Billy West. Portrayed as a wealthy businessman coming home after a hard day's work in the "Merrie Melodies" part of the episode "Best Friends," he sings about his love of " gwiwwed cheese " sandwiches. He later had a brief cameo appearance in "Fish and Visitors" as a weather forecaster briefly exclaiming about the rainy weather and doing his famous chuckle at the end. Later on, Elmer Fudd reports that EnormoCorp went out of business due to the worst business decision in the history of business decisions caused by its CEO Daffy Duck who succeeded the previous CEO Foghorn Leghorn who retired where he went with the "Proceed as Planned" choice instead of the "Delay the Merger" choice when he mistook Pete Puma as the new muffin man. As a result of this, Elmer mentioned that 10, of its workers are now out of a job and states that experts fear that the world economy could collapse. Elmer Fudd later joins the other characters in the Christmas song called "Christmas Rules" at the end of the episode. Elmer Fudd later reports on Daffy Duck's apparent death where he supposedly lost control of his parade float and drove into the St. Bastian River. He appears as a spy working for the Mexican general Foghorn Leghorn. In the story, Elmer is a bounty hunter that originated from the country side before he moved to Gotham to make ends meet. He considered putting the shotgun away for good when he fell in love with Silver St. Cloud , but she was killed by hitman Bugs "The Bunny". He goes to a bar called Porky's which has attendants that are humanoid versions of other famous Looney Tunes stars to kill Bugs. Bugs confesses to killing Silver, but avoids death by telling Elmer that Bruce Wayne hired him to do it. Elmer believes Bugs as Bruce was Silver's former lover, and shoots Bruce at a party for vengeance. Batman confronts Elmer in his apartment and defeats the gunman in a fight, where Elmer tells Batman about Silver's death and Bugs. Elmer and Batman return to Porky's and take out most of the crowd before confronting Bugs. The three are shocked to find Silver in the bar herself, where she revealed that she left Bruce and Elmer because of their dangerous lifestyles and had Bugs fake her death. The story ends with all three of the men requesting a glass of carrot juice from Porky. After getting shot by Elmer too many times, Batman takes Bugs' advice and makes it Robin season, causing Elmer to pursue the Dark Knight's sidekicks instead. The series executive producer and showrunner , Peter Browngardt, said the character could continue to use cartoon violence , such as dynamite and Acme related paraphernalia. Later, during the musician's union strike of , Dave Barry did the voice for Elmer's co-starring appearance in Pre-Hysterical Hare , as Bryan was ill during production of the cartoon. Although in more recent years other voice actors have alternated as Elmer's voice, Bryan's characterization remains the definitive one. He was never credited onscreen, because Blanc had a clause in his contract that required him to receive a screen credit and, perhaps inadvertently, denied the same to other voice performers. Blanc would take on the role regularly in the s, s and s, supplying Elmer's voice for new footage in The Bugs Bunny Show while Smith voiced the character in the commercials until when Blanc took up the role full time , The Porky Pig Show , compilation feature films and similar TV specials, as well as some all-new specials. He admitted in his autobiography that he found the voice difficult to get "right", never quite making it his own, which is why his Elmer voice sounded deep and gravelly in the 60s and 70s; however, it began sounding closer to Bryan's Elmer voice, beginning with Bugs Bunny's Valentine .In Speechless , the famous lithograph issued following Blanc's death, Elmer is not shown among the characters bowing their heads in tribute to Blanc. Other voice actors Beside Bryan, numerous other actors have voiced Elmer, including:. Characters[ edit ] Freakazoid voiced by Paul Rugg — The protagonist of the series. He is the alter ego of geeky year-old computer ace Dexter Douglas voiced by David Kaufman , who became Freakazoid from an overloaded Pinnacle chip inside his computer. He attends Harry Connick Jr. High School. To transform into Freakazoid, Dexter says "Freak out! Dexter and Freakazoid sometimes identify as separate identities, and other times are considered the same person. She is unaware that her son is Freakazoid and is generally blithe and clueless. Douglas Douglas voiced by John P. McCann — Dexter's father who is incredibly incompetent, but attempts to keep his family in line regardless. Duncan Douglas voiced by Googy Gress — Dexter's older brother. He is a bully towards Dexter and a stereotypical jock who is also frequently tormented by Freakazoid. Chubbikins vocal effects provided by Frank Welker — The Douglas' morbidly obese cat. He jumped on Dexter's keyboard while chasing a butterfly, accidentally typing in the key sequence which activated the Pinnacle chip's flaw, turning Dexter into Freakazoid. Allies[ edit ] Sgt. Mike Cosgrove voiced by Ed Asner — A heavyset, gruff police sergeant with a heart of gold who is friends with Freakazoid and several other characters. By pointing at something and saying "Cut it out", he has the almost supernatural ability to get people to stop whatever they are doing on command, no matter what they may be doing at the time. Cosgrove also possesses the odd power of finding Freakazoid no matter where he is, and often interrupts his heroic endeavors to ask him to visit various entertainments, which Freakazoid always enthusiastically agrees to no matter what he is doing at the time. During this visit, Cosgrove inevitably reveals important information about the plot of the episode, resulting in Freakazoid leaving to foil the villain's scheme and Cosgrove being left to enjoy the attraction for himself. Additionally, at some point, Freakazoid entrusted Cosgrove with his secret identity, and was deeply upset when he accidentally revealed it to Steff and Professor Jones. Roddy MacStew voiced by Craig Ferguson — Freakazoid's mentor, and expositionist; an ill-tempered Scotsman who once worked for Guitierrez and was the first to discover the Pinnacle Chip's flaw. In "The Chip" detailing Freakazoid's origin story , he was trapped in the Internet after going into it to escape from Guitierrez's minions, but Guitierrez later forced him out and he resumed his mentor role. Steff voiced by Tracy Rowe — Freakazoid's perky and sweet yet cynical and sarcastic blonde girlfriend; her real name is Stephanie.

Zachary Smith from Lost in Space who was also portrayed by Harris. He is the replacement to Ingmar and is old friends with him. Jones does not get along with Cosgrove well and gets little respect from Freakazoid or anyone else. A running gag is that someone would ask if he was on that show with a kid and a robot which is a nod to Jonathan Harris' work on Lost in Space. Joe Leahy voiced by himself — The show's vocal narrator and announcer who sometimes gets more involved than the job usually requires. Freakazette — Only mentioned in the first episode for a brief verse during the "Freakazoid and Friends" theme song set to the tune of the Animaniacs theme.

Leonard Maltin voiced by himself — He was kidnapped by Dr. Mystico during the episode "Island of Dr. Mystico", while Maltin was giving his opinion of the same episode. Freakazoid points out that Mystico's prisoners all have superpowers, and Maltin's is his knowledge of film. Mystico's "orangu-men". In the show, he speaks in a low, groggy, incomprehensible mumble.

Cobra Queen voiced by Tress MacNeille — Audrey Manatee is a former shoplifter whose theft of an experimental expired cosmetic transformed her into a cobra woman with command over snakes and other reptiles. In later episodes, Cobra Queen and Cave Guy are dating. She has a lair in the sewers and often complained about the lack of light there until Freakazoid suggested getting Japanese lanterns. Cobra Queen seems to be offended when compared to Sylvester the Cat. He subscribes to The New Yorker and also seems to have an odd fear of Klingons , primarily because of their language. Because he was searched for by law enforcement so frequently, he had plastic surgery to turn himself into a humanoid Texas Longhorn. Freakazoid even pointed out that this did not prevent Longhorn from appearing on America's Most Wanted every week.

He has also created a similar device that turned beavers into gold. He is obsessed with all things supernatural and is well acquainted with several monsters including Dracula , the Wolf Man , and the Loch Ness Monster. Additionally, Jeepers' schemes seem to deeply infuriate Freakazoid and Jeepers is shown to be the only villain that Freakazoid genuinely does not like whereas the rest of the villains appear to have a friendly relationship with Freakazoid off-battle once going on a long and unscripted rant against him after he tried to show him the Medusa Watch. His name is a play on famous country guitarist Waylon Jennings. Invisibo voiced by Corey Burton impersonating Vincent Price — Ahmon Kor-Unch is an invisible, smart-mouthed pharaoh who is only invisible via the staff he carries. He was sealed away inside a sarcophagus in the ancient past, but freed in the modern day after Dexter and Duncan accidentally broke the seal on the sarcophagus while fighting. Invisibo planned to absorb power from the local power plant to become unstoppable, but was defeated by Freakazoid who destroyed his staff, allowing him to be visible again.

They may have breathing issues As adorable as those smooshed faces are, the French Bulldog is a brachycephalic breed , meaning they have shorter snouts than other dogs. This can lead to breathing issues, especially when it comes to swimming or flying in an airplane. If you want to take your Frenchie for a swim , be sure to have them geared up with some puppy floaties, and stay close to them, as they literally cannot keep their snout — or the rest of their body — above water. Some airlines will not let brachycephalic breeds fly. Being in a small, hot area under a lot of stress can make breathing very difficult for these dogs and can even be fatal.

What is a mini golden retriever? On average, they weigh pounds.

Occasionally, we have some that weigh more than 45 pounds, or even less than 30 pounds. They generally have more Golden Retriever in them, so they are a closer carbon copy than the smaller Comforts. They generally have a little more poodle, so they may have more hypoallergenic and reduced shedding traits. Occasionally, we get white spots abstract or parti-colors from the Poodle side. Sometimes, we produce curly coated Comforts. We classify our coat types based on DNA results, not on visual appearance. Shed levels are individual to the dog, so while we hope that the majority of our dogs are low shedding, there are those who are moderate to heavy shedders. There are many factors that influence shedding as well. Some of these include season changes, weather, stress, illness, and a puppy transitioning to its adult coat.

Many Golden Retrievers can take up to two years to completely fill out, though their weight at one year old is usually close to their full adult weight. A puppy is rarely larger than their bigger parent, so this will also give you a general idea of their maximum weight. If their paws still look large or oversized next to their body and legs, they are probably still filling out and have some growing left to do, as this is a classic sign of adolescence in canines. What is the size of a full-grown Golden Retriever? As adults, Golden Retrievers will appear overall symmetrical and have a powerful body hidden beneath beautiful, golden fur. Golden Retrievers are stunning, sunny dogs that easily steal our hearts. Unfortunately, as a purebred dog breed, they are more susceptible to genetic diseases, which can compromise their lifespan and quality of life. However, many genetic disorders can be treated or prevented with regular veterinary care. Remember that prevention is almost always easier and less expensive than treatment. Your veterinarian may recommend a large-breed growth food to your Golden Retriever puppy to support their growth rate which can help prevent or decrease the severity of hip dysplasia in adulthood. According to the Veterinary Centers of America , Golden Retrievers are also more prone to gaining excess weight. Golden Retrievers are also susceptible to various genetic health disorders, such as oral tumors and aortic stenosis. Aortic stenosis is most commonly found in large, purebred dogs, including Golden Retrievers, and occurs when the aortic valves to the heart narrow. Aortic stenosis causes the body to struggle to pump blood through the valve, creating additional stress on the body. If untreated, aortic stenosis can lead to muscle failure and even fatality. However, veterinarians can treat many genetic diseases like aortic stenosis and oral tumors through surgery and medication. Even with proper prevention and wellness care, necessary veterinary visits can be expensive, with many treatments costing thousands of dollars.

She is already so comfortable here and so attached. She gets so excited every time she sees us. And she has such a sweet disposition Everything goes for her. She just rolls with it. She loves to play and has lots of playful energy when she chases behind a toy or plays tug of war. But she loves to cuddle too, and she can busy herself well too without complaint. Yesterday we left her home when we went on a walk and she never barked or whined and was fast asleep when we returned. She accepted her crate as if she had never known any other place to rest. She just crawls in there and rests when she is tired. And when she wakes up, she quietly plays until we take her out of the playpen. Her potty training is going well. A couple of accidents here and there, but most of the time we catch her before anything happens, and she always does her business right away when we put her on the grass patch we have on the patio. She is getting a treat when she does her business. So, she actually figured out that if she spares some pee and squats several times, she will get several treats. Only One treat for the first time, everything after does not get rewarded any more. Wow, I have never seen a puppy learning that fast. And loving to learn. Being really food driven helps.

As a result, the Mini Golden Retriever is an ever-evolving combo of the Golden Retriever , Poodle, and Cocker As the American Kennel Club does not recognize this cross, breeding is unregulated, and therefore all sorts of Mini Golden Retrievers have come out of the breeding pot. Creating smaller versions of purebred dogs means dabbling with their genes, which is never a good thing as they can suffer from ailments like dwarfism. There is a small possibility that they might nip and bite, so they could inherit this characteristic from their parents. This is especially important if you have a young family, as there could be a few tears! What are the differences between a Mini Golden Retriever and a Goldendoodle? Goldendoodle source Both of them are crossbred with Poodles and have a lot in common. The Goldendoodle is a medium-sized pooch with curly locks that are quite high maintenance, while the Miniature Golden Retriever is small to medium in size and also requires daily brushing to make sure those glossy coats stay at their best. Both are good with families and very active! The only significant differences are their coats as mentioned above and also the fact that Miniature Golden Retrievers are incredibly easy to train. In a nutshell, they have more similarities than differences. As mentioned above they range from 20 lbs to 45 lbs 7 kg to 16 kg and 14 inches to 20 inches tall 29 cm to 56 cm. Though they come in similar-sized packaging, you can certainly see the difference between them. Mini Goldens tend to have fur that is sleeker, with waves rather than curls. Dwarf Golden Retrievers have a condition called dwarfism, a genetic defect affecting bone growth. However, Miniature Goldens will continue to grow past two or three months of age, whereas Dwarf Goldens will present with stunted growth and skeletal deformities. As they become more fine-tuned and purer, a clearer picture will more than likely emerge. As it stands at the moment, their weight ranges between 20 lbs to 55 lbs 9 kg to 25 kg , with a height of between 12 to 15 inches 30 cm to 38 cm. A fully grown Mini Golden Retriever is small, but it has plenty of love to give! Like their larger counterparts, Mini Golden Retrievers shed an undercoat seasonally to adapt to changing climates.

Their grooming is simple, and only moderate maintenance is needed as long as you stay on top of it. When petting your dog, you should be able to feel down to their skin all-over, with no hard masses of fur. All the breeds that contribute to this mix are high-energy dogs.

Their loving nature and natural intelligence, combined with their manageable size, make these hybrids perfectly suited to comfort people who may be intimidated by larger breeds. Is my new BFF going to tear up my home? A yard is preferable, but they could do fine in an apartment, given daily moderate exercise and tasks to keep their minds engaged.

This small Golden Retriever crossbreed is usually not picky about the food you put in its bowl. You can feed your Toy Golden Retriever 2. Avoid going over this recommended amount even if your Mini Golden gives you the puppy-dog eyes; this crossbreed is prone to obesity. These small dogs may also suffer from some digestive issues as they grow older, thanks to their Poodle parentage. The short answer is: by some organizations! This is probably because Miniature Golden Retrievers are a crossbreed still in development. The answer is inconclusive , as no statistically significant data has been found to support either side of the coin. However, responsible breeders will more than likely have vets doing gene testing for them to weed out known genetic diseases of the crossbreeds. When purchasing your Miniature Golden Retriever, make sure to check the breed Each dog is unique, and your Mini Golden could suffer from the conditions that commonly affect its parent breeds. Hip dysplasia, lymphoma, and skin problems are commonly seen in Golden Retrievers , whereas Poodles often suffer from progressive retinal atrophy, epilepsy, bloat, and collapsed trachea.

As mentioned in the first paragraph the life expectancy of your Mini Golden is estimated to range from 10 to 12 years. This dog can have a wildly different temperament from what you expect. Golden Retrievers: loyal to a fault The Golden Retriever, as a breed, is one of the most popular for families in the United States today. The AKC describes them as intelligent, exuberant, and eager-to-please. Golden Retrievers are perfect for active families with children. Some even say that poodles are beauties without brains. Poodles, on the whole, tend to do well with children and get along with other dogs when supervised. The American Kennel Club describes Cockers as eager-to-please, gentle, and happy. If trained properly, Mini Golden Retrievers are good dogs: loyal, active, gentle, good with families, and overall happy chaps! They have some awesome qualities to keep you happy with your forever furry friend. Petite Golden Retriever Description The Miniature Golden Retriever is not yet a purebred dog, however there are many breeders independently working on it. For now it is a cross between the Golden Retriever , Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle , at various stages of development and various mixtures of the three breeds. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in the breeds. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Imagine everything you love about a Golden Retriever — their friendly temperament, absolute loyalty, and loving playfulness — but in a smaller size. Sounds pretty good, right? Enter the Miniature Golden Retriever, a dog who is exactly that. What are Miniature Golden Retrievers? They are a cross mix of different dogs instead of just a size variation on the breed standard. This is different to the Mini Husky, for instance, which is just a smaller version of the Husky. The idea is to create puppies that have the same wonderful character and temperaments of a normal Golden, yet in a smaller size. The latter is actually the trademarked name for the puppies bred by Kathy Burgess , who claims to have created the first Miniature Golden. This usually translates to puppies sold already neutered, microchipped, with an ID tag and a health certificate. While the aim of Miniature Goldens was simply to create a dog that was a companion-sized version of the standard Golden, there are a number of differences and similarities between them. This should be expected if you account for the Mini also having some Poodle characteristics. Mini Golden Retriever Size Standard Goldens usually weigh somewhere between 55 and 75 lbs with females at the lighter end and males at the heavier and measure between 20 to 24 inches in height. Miniatures, however, usually weigh between 20 and 45 pounds and measure between 14 and 20 inches in height. Exact sizes will differ depending on the proportion of genetic matter they inherit from their parents. Dogs who inherit a higher proportion of Golden genetics will likely be a little bigger, while those that have more Poodle genes will probably be at the smaller end. The lifespan of a Mini Golden Retriever The expected lifespan of the Miniature Golden Retriever is between 10 and 15 years while standard Goldens can expect to live between 10 and 12 years. Larger size dogs generally have a shorter lifespan than smaller ones as its thought that they age faster. Both the standard and Miniature Goldens face the risk of inheriting various genetic diseases such as joint dysplasia and eye problems. Always check that your breeder can provide proof of the good health of the parents before you buy a new puppy. Some breeders claim that their Miniature Goldens will shed less than a standard Golden thanks to the input of the Poodle genetics. Standard Goldens, mini golden retrievers are notorious for being heavy shedders and require daily brushing, so this is a major benefit of buying a Mini. Exercise and Training We all know that dogs are a long-term commitment. Not only do you have to keep them fed, watered, and sheltered all year round, but owners must also ensure that they get enough exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Mini Goldens are intelligent animals that need daily physical and mental stimulation. You will need to exercise your Mini for between 30 minutes to an hour a day, with plenty of time set aside for playtime, music, and attention as well. Training should also be a daily occurrence in order to make sure that their behavior and command responses are well-honed enough for them to fit into a family home. Before you buy a Miniature Golden Retriever, make sure that you have the time and energy to devote to their exercise and training. How about feeding Miniature Golden Retrievers There is no big difference compared to the regular golden retrievers. As miniature golden retrievers need high protein food that will help to keep their bones and joints strong. You need to keep in mind that they are highly active dogs and we need to feed them accordingly. The ideal meal can be 2. We also hear that the small mini golden retrievers have some digestive issues. Females are also usually smaller than males so using them helps with shrinking this breed into the mini version. This is not true, they are actually a mixed breed. To breed Miniature Golden Retrievers a purebred Golden must be bred with another breed that is smaller than it. Dog breeds that are typically used include: Cocker Spaniel. King Charles Springer Spaniel. Mini Poodle. By breeding the Golden Retriever with anyone of these three breeds, you sometimes get a dog that looks just like them, but smaller in size.

These are generally good signs that the breeder is reputable. Both dogs can look similar because of their long, golden, wavy and smooth hair. They also have the broad skull and straight muzzle of a Golden. Mini Golden Retrievers normally have more Golden Retriever genes and traits so they actually look like a Miniature. Some puppies inherit the curly hair of the Poodle so they will look more like a Golden with curls. These pups have very curly hair and have more Poodle genes. They are the same breed, but they might be called a Mini Goldendoodle instead. Goldendoodles are bred to be a Golden with the hypoallergenic fur of the Poodle. They are a Golden Retriever and Poodle mix. Some puppies could have curly hair, but most of the time you will find them with straight hair that sheds. What normally makes them different is their coat. These puppies usually inherit more Spaniel genes so have their long, floppy ears and large round eyes. They can also be slightly bigger at 14 to 24 inches. Golden Cavaliers are usually golden, but they can also be other colors like black, brown, red, tan and black and white. They often do not look exactly like a smaller Golden Retriever, so you might not find them sold under that name. If you truly want a Mini Golden Retriever you will probably be looking for one with a golden coat. You will get a golden puppy from mixing a golden Cocker Spaniel. With this kind of mix you are more likely to inherit the popular smooth coat. Mini Golden Cocker Retriever is one of the names for this breed when it is bred specifically from the Cocker Spaniel. Mini Golden Retrievers Can Be Red Golden Retrievers are known for their beautiful golden coats, but did you know they could also be red? They can be any shade from a light cream to a dark red. Some have such a rich, dark gold that they look red. Red Mini Golden Retrievers exist too and they also have this red coat color. Red Minis are dogs that have a golden orange coat that looks red. Their coat is long, smooth and wavy. Sometimes it can be a bit curly too. What makes them different is their fiery red color. Most of the time they will be a solid rusty red. Sometimes these pups can also have patches of white on their chest. This is completely fine as they are a mixed breed and there is no official standard. Names they are known by are usually based on their size or the parent breeds that were used. Some names that refer to their size are: Teacup Mini Golden Retriever.

Some of these you can help prevent, while others are out of your immediate control. If your GSD carries the genes for ears that lie down, instead of standing erect, then more than likely they will have floppy ears. This means they may have ears that never stand up and are floppy for life. Breeding Some breeders choose to pair parents that both have large, erect ears. And some buyers and owners prefer this larger style of ears for show or aesthetic purposes. But, there is some theory that breeding a German Shepherd with larger and larger ears might contribute to ears that stay flopped over. Always see the parents of the puppy you buy from the breeder on the premises to see their appearance. Physical Damage or Accidents Puppies are active and mischievous and can get into plenty of trouble. This includes physical damage or accidents that have the cartilage or muscles in their ears. If this happens their ears may suffer long-term damage and not stand up naturally on their own. So watch out for a rough play that might lead to ear damage. And, if your pup has been in an accident that hurt their ears, take them immediately to the vets. Improper and Poor Nutrition German Shepherds need balanced nutrition during crucial growing stages, including vitamins and minerals that aid in cartilage and muscle development of their ears. You should ensure your dog gets the right nutrition from the start to avoid any issues. Along with Vitamin D, calcium helps strengthen the cartilage to aid in building a strong foundation for the ears to stand up later. Neglecting Ear Cleaning Puppies still need ear cleaning when dirt and build-up are overly present. Dirty ears that become neglected can inhibit proper growth and cause discomfort for your dog, causing them to excessively scratch their ears which can cause damage. This could cause them more harm! Instead, wipe away the dirt from the skin of the ear with a warm, damp washcloth or use special ear cleaning wipes. A dog with one floppy ear and one ear upright is totally normal. Occasionally, your German Shepherd might have one floppy ear and one ear standing upright. If they are a small puppy then they are most likely growing and the one ear down still needs time to go upright naturally. These are some of the best techniques that will help their ears to stand up. They only need to sit inside the ear enough to support cartilage growth. Make sure you check for any creases or folds in their ears before moving on to the next step. Repeat in the other ear. Make a Popsicle Support Now, take the popsicle sticks and place them at the top of the foam rollers both ears should have foam rollers in them at this point. You might need another pair of hands to help with this, so ask your family or friends to help. Take the self-adhering waterproof tape and place a medium-size piece across and around the two foam rollers and popsicle sticks. This ensures even and symmetrical growth. Make a bridge across their ears instead. If your German Shepherd puppy is 9 months old and their ears still flop over, please see your vet for further assistance. When in doubt, get your vet to show you what to do for their ears. Your puppy might become annoyed with the tape on their ears, so they may need close supervision and even some distraction during the taping process. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a German Shepherd that has floppy ears and putting them at risk to have any unnecessary surgery to get their ears to stand up can cause them pain. Speak to your vet about the side effects and pain associated with ear implants. You can help prevent floppy ears in your dog by taking the appropriate steps to keep them healthy. The top ways to help a GSD with floppy ears include: 1. Feed them a high-quality food Giving your dog the proper nutrition for optimum growth is a necessity, especially when they are puppies and growing rapidly. Choose a puppy food with the correct ratio of nutrients and vitamins to ensure they get the correct building blocks for development.

To know whether your dog is alert or aggressive, you should watch for other signs, such as growling, showing teeth, sniffing, and considering his current environment. Your GSD may simply prick his ears forward and tilt his head if you make a peculiar sound. Below is my German Shepherd showing her ears in the pricked position. You can see how alert and interested she is. She focuses intently on something in the street, probably another dog passing by! Willow with pricked ears When a German Shepherd pricks up his ears and looks around or sniffs, you can conclude that he is alert. However, if they are unsocialized, untrained, or previously mistreated, they may show hostility. This is through no fault of the dog, and only humans are to blame, as the dog just does not know how to behave. If you are attentive to details, you might have seen your dog put his ears back semi-regularly, especially in your presence. German Shepherds put their ears back as a sign of submission or nervousness. You should look at the head position and tail for more clues. If your dog displays submissiveness, his ears will go back, and he will also lower his head. In some instances, the dog puts his tail between his legs, which results in the related figure of speech. Notice how her ear positions have now changed from the erect position above, and she has put them back. She feels social and happy and enjoys looking out of the window. I guess the interesting dog in question has passed by! The last thing you want is for your dog to be too nervous about socializing. Many people believe this means the dog is sick. So, why do German Shepherds put their ears down? German Shepherds put their ears down because of fear or anxiety. If your dog is afraid of his environment, another person or animal, or occasionally illness, you will notice his ears flattening and pinned tight to the head. Other signs include cowering, a hunched and rigid body, and whimpering. Check out this dog in the below photo. His ears are down and pinned flat against his head. He is clearly anxious or afraid and hoping to be adopted. The idea is to make your dog feel safe and ensure he is under control. What to Do When Your GSD Pricks up His Ears When your GSD pricks up his ears, you should prioritize this ear position above all others because it can mean your dog may be about to become aggressive towards another person or dog he feels threatened by, especially if he displays other body language referred to above. Use a Leash If you take your German Shepherd for a walk and notice his ears perk up even momentarily, you should put him on a leash. You probably already have him on a leash as per dog walking best practices. In some cases, this can be done to protect you and your property. But in other instances, it can simply be a false alarm. You can interrupt your dog by engaging him whenever he pricks up his ears. Pay more attention to him and reward him with the affection and treats he deserves. The only exception is if your German Shepherd displays this behavior around most strangers and you adopted him to guard your property! What to Do When Your GSD Puts His Ears Down Whenever your German Shepherd shows fear by flattening his ears and tightly pinning them to his skull, you must make sure you provide him with enough attention and talk to him in a soothing voice to offer reassurance to calm down. If he behaves this way around a specific path on your walk or before certain activities, you get to decide whether teaching him to get over those fears is worth it. She appears to despise their loud voices and high-pitched screams. She gets extremely anxious and immediately puts her ears down, cowers her body, digs her claws into the ground, and pulls on the leash to get away faster. I now choose to avoid walks around school times! German Shepherds with completely floppy ears are rare, and those with partially floppy ears are more common. Final Thoughts German Shepherds are intelligent and expressive, and their ear position will often display their mood. When trying to figure out what your dog is telling you, the key takeaway is that you should always look at his overall body language. Related Posts You May Like:.

Submissive dogs will also flatten their ears a lot. Pricked or forward Ears forward means something is catching their attention. This is usually just curiosity. However, this ear position can also indicate unease and can escalate to aggression quickly. Use other body clues to help you, especially bared teeth. Flip-flopped Ears pointing in different directions floppy ears look adorable, but also tell you something about their mood. It usually means they have two focal points of interest, such as keeping an ear on you while tracking something moving behind them. Flicking It means that your dog is feeling unsettled. Rapid changes in ear position mean they might be feeling overwhelmed. A lot is going on in their head, and again, you need to pay attention and manage the situation as an owner. It could be that a lot of noise or stimulus is worrying them. They can also flick their ears if flies or bugs are bothering them or if there are other dogs nearby. This is a bit of an ambiguous description and can refer to two types of ear movement in German Shepherds. Your dog needs immediate reassurance or problems could follow. And if your dog is normally confident, or leans toward aggression, it needs immediate owner attention to reassure the dog, diffuse the situation, and take control. How to Calm an Anxious Dog? If your dog gives clear alarm signals, it may warn you of a danger ahead. You may need to break their intense focus. Distract them—turn and walk the other way a few paces—or start a new activity. Remember to teach your German Shepherd how to interact positively with other people and dogs. Start by soothing the dog with a calm, controlled voice. Reassure them. If your dog is naturally aggressive, you need to address this over time through positive reinforcement and dog training. Likewise, you may want to work with positive confidence-building techniques to give a naturally submissive dog more confidence in situations. Good socialization is always helpful for this. A confident and friendly dog feels secure. A submissive and fearful one is scared and can act unpredictably. However, pinned and flat ears are certainly a cause for concern. Should this happen, a responsive and responsible pet owner must immediately act. In the long-term, you should work on any fear or aggression in your dog and help them channel it in healthier ways. Well, there are a few different possible explanations. Causes can vary from age-related to genetic and medical issues. All puppies are born with soft, floppy ears. This is because the cartilage and muscles in their ears have not developed yet. Although some breeds, like Spaniels and Poodles, always have floppy ears, others, like most Shepherd breeds , almost always have pointy, pricked, upright ones. In such breeds, their ears should start to stand up between weeks of age as the bones and muscles in their bodies develop and strengthen. Are they both floppy — or is only one of them drooping whilst the other stands up normally? Teething Several young puppies experience floppy ears during teething. Teething is a period that all infant mammals go through, in which their baby or milk teeth fall out and their adult teeth grow in. It starts at around three weeks old and ends at months of age, although it can take longer. So, their bodies may draw calcium out of other areas, such as the ears, weakening their skeletal structure and making them flop. You may even notice that their ears look different every day during this period. They might be up-right one day, then floppy the next, or even change throughout the day depending on their mood. Their ears will return back to their original shape as soon as their hormones calm down. Although most German Shepherds have up-right ears, some can have floppy or semi-pricked ones. Judges of dog shows and competitions also often look for large ears in the breed. Poor nutrition during puppyhood As mentioned above, calcium is needed to develop and strengthen the cartilage in the ears in order for them to stand up. Vitamin D is also needed to keep bones healthy and strong. This is especially common in rescue dogs that come from puppy farms, homelessness, and neglectful backgrounds. Always buy from reputable breeders! Other symptoms of calcium and vitamin D deficiencies include muscle spasms and joint issues. If severe, nutrient deficiencies can be deadly. Both conditions require urgent veterinary attention, and treatments will likely include special diets and supplements. Similar to malnutrition, this is common in dogs that come from a background of neglect or homelessness. A build-up of wax, debris, or dirt can make the ears heavy and cause them to droop. Poor hygiene As we mentioned above, poor ear hygiene can lead to drooping of the ears. It can also lead to smelliness and infection. All dogs have self-cleaning mechanisms in their ears. However, allergies and hormone imbalances can cause disruptions to the mechanisms, meaning they require some extra care. Dogs can be allergic to environmental allergens like pollen, household cleaning products, and foods like wheat and dairy. Other symptoms of allergies can include skin irritation, coughing, sneezing, runny noses and eyes, and stomach upsets. Each has different symptoms, but they often include drastic changes in energy, coat, thirst, appetite, and weight. German Shepherds are also particularly prone to experiencing hormonal disorders. Ear mites Another cause of ear drooping in German Shepherds is ear mites. Ear mites can be picked up outdoors, or from coming into contact with another animal with the condition. The inflammation from the infestation can cause droopiness in the affected ear. Other symptoms include excessive itchiness, and redness, bleeding, and swelling from the constant scratching. If left untreated, the infestation can cause disease, which can lead to hearing loss and balance issues. Infection Ear infections can be bacterial or fungal, and they can affect both the inner or outer ear. They are most often picked up after exposure to water, and the inflammation can cause the affected ear to droop. Other symptoms can include redness, swelling, irritation, discharge, and excessive head shaking or scratching at the ear. Vets can treat ear infections with antibacterial or antifungal medications, but they need to be treated quickly before they spread or cause permanent damage. Trauma Physical trauma to the ears can also cause them to droop. The most common trauma that causes changes to the shape of the ears in German Shepherds are bites from fighting with other dogs. If your dog has a visible injury to their ear, you should take them to see their vet to check it over and dress any wounds to prevent infection. Make sure to brush your GSD regularly, also around the head and ears — these dogs shed heavily! You can get these over-the-counter at your vet, online, or in a pet store. You can also use a few drops of olive oil for wax build-up, but not too much. To administer, get a towel and ask your dog to lie down in a comfortable place in the home. Then, massage the mase of their ears for around 30 seconds to help it loosen any wax or dirt. Finally, allow your dog to shake their head and use the towel to catch what comes out. That said, if they have particularly problem ears, you should ask your vet and do it however often they suggest, which could be weekly or monthly. However, this is very controversial. It is not yet illegal in the USA, but it is also not something that we would recommend outside of medical necessity, as it can be unnecessarily stressful and painful for dogs. The method known as taping is done by placing something, usually tape, inside the ear to make it stand up straight and grow into that position permanently. It can be effective when done during puppyhood and usually takes weeks to work. As we mentioned above, nutritional deficiencies can cause the ears to flop. Puppies should eat nutritionally complete and balanced food that is enriched with calcium, vitamin D, and DHA for healthy bone and brain development, as well as high-quality protein sources like chicken and fish for strong muscles, and tasty, fiber-rich fruits and veggies. All puppies should have a handful of strong, hardy chew toys to avoid being destroyed during teething, but they can also help the ears to stand up. This is because the ears are connected to the jaw. So, strong jaw muscles means stronger ears, too! Finally, you should avoid playing too rough with your pup and interacting with boisterous dogs to prevent accidents and traumas, which, as we mentioned above, could damage or change the shape of their ears. Dogs communicate with us owners in many ways; they bark, they growl, and they use their bodies. Body language is a key part of understanding how your dog is feeling. Dogs use their entire bodies to communicate; including their tails, their eyes, and their ears! This often happens when a suspicious stranger or an unknown or unfriendly dog is approaching, or when there is a strange noise inside the home. When their ears go back or downwards, it could simply mean that they are listening, or it could indicate either excitement or anxiety. Excited dogs may whine, wag their tails very quickly, and run towards what they are excited about. This happens a lot when dogs are greeting a loved one. An anxious dog, on the other hand, may lower their head and cower their bodies away from what is causing their anxiety. If they are frightened, they may also tremble and whine, and if they are feeling angry or threatened, they may show their teeth and growl. This can happen when a dog is exposed to a phobia or an aggressive dog. It can be difficult to determine exactly how a mixed dog will look. Different pups from the same litter can also present with different traits from their siblings. That said, certain traits, like short hair, for example, are genetically dominant and therefore will be passed on over others, like long hair, which is genetically recessive. Dominant traits are those that require only one copy of a specific gene for the trait to be passed down to a pup. Recessive traits, on the other hand, need two copies; one from each parent. So, which is dominant; pricked or floppy ears? The answer is — floppy ears! Floppy ears are genetically dominant to pricked ears in dogs. That said, different ear shapes in dogs does tend to reflect their original working purpose. For example, the Spaniel, a gun dog, has floppy ears that gather and hold scent particles. This helped them track down what they were looking for much faster back in the day. German Shepherds, on the other hand, along with other wolf-like breeds, such as the Siberian Husky , have pricked, pointed ears. This is thought to aid their hearing during guard work, keep their body temperature under control during strenuous hunts, and give them an alert look to ward off predators. This may be why people are statistically more likely to perceive dogs with pricked ears as more threatening, according to research conducted by James Madison University, USA, in .This is not necessarily true, however, as any dog lover will know. It is likely down to something old and instinctual, as they also discovered that people perceived coat colors differently, too. The type of ears that a dog has can affect their hearing. Whether a dog has pricked ears or floppy ears, they have 18 different muscles that control them to funnel sounds from all different directions. A healthy-hearing dog of any kind can still hear from 40 to 60, hertz, which is more than double what human ears can hear! Starting out just training her own Border Collies, she gradually expanded to local classes and seminars, now she travels as far as Europe and teaches students all over the world on how to train their dogs in a positive, bonding, game-based way. She is known for her clear, step-by-step training that lets beginners and advanced dog trainers see lasting results very quickly.

husky mixed with golden retriever puppies - American Bulldog Vs. With a combination of personality traits ranging from courageous bravery to clownish playfulness, it's little wonder the AKC lists boxers among the most popular breeds in the U. Typical Behavior Boxers were originally bred as fighting and hunting dogs with the intelligence to think independently. Today's boxers might not spend a typical day hunting boar, but they still exhibit those traits bred into them so long ago. Fearlessness and courage with self-assurance, high spirits and plenty of energy are the main characteristics remaining from the original boxer ancestors, along with loyalty, affection and playfulness which boxers often retain beyond puppyhood and for the rest of their lives. Possible Behavior Problems Even though the boxer breed is friendly and loving by nature, uncharacteristic negative behavior can arise. Most boxer behavior problems, however, stem from lack of training, bad breeding or, for some problems, lack of early socialization -- all more handling issues than breed flaws. Such problems can include aggression, digging, chewing, excessive barking and biting or nipping. Modifying Boxer Behavior Problems Early obedience training gives you and your boxer a foundation to build from and a protocol to follow should a negative behavior develop. In most cases, proper training programs, such as puppy kindergarten and Canine Good Citizen classes, will head off bad behavior altogether. Of the possible behavior problems mentioned, aggression is perhaps the most difficult to deal with, especially once the boxer is an adult. Early socialization and obedience training, however, can help prevent aggression in the first place. If your boxer starts barking for the sake of hearing his own voice, he's probably bored. Your boxer is a high-energy dog who enjoys interaction, so take him on an extended walk or engage him in spirited play to satisfy him and tire him out, leaving no energy for barking. Digging can be deterred by not leaving your boxer alone in the yard for long periods of time. You might also try covering his preferred digging spots with chicken wire and then covering the wire with dirt. Your dog won't like the feeling of his nails raking across the wire and he'll soon stop digging. If your boxer is a chewer, crating or kenneling him when you're gone will keep him away from items you don't want destroyed. Chewing, another problem often caused by boredom, is sometimes alleviated with a vigorous play session or by redirecting the dog's chewing to a more appropriate object, such as a toy. Finally, biting or nipping can be curbed or avoided entirely with proper training through obedience classes or one-on-one training with a dog behaviorist. Other Boxer Behavior-Related Facts The boxer is a cousin to nearly every breed of bulldog, which explains their shared traits of gentleness, protectiveness and affinity for children. Developed from a line of dogs recognized throughout Europe during the 16th century, the boxer breed was perfected in Germany during the 19th century. In fact, while the German shepherd is the breed most associated with police work in the United States, in Germany it was the boxer that was among the first breeds chosen for police training due to its intelligence and courage.

But is it true that they are aggressive without reason, or is this a misconception? Boxers are predisposed to display aggressive behavior. On the other hand, lack of exercise, socialization, training, traumatic experiences, and health challenges can make them aggressive. So, keep reading to learn more. Are They Aggressive to Humans? Boxers can be aggressive to humans they are not used to seeing. They have a friendly temperament and can become best friends with humans. Like other dog breeds, they will assume a defensive position and become protective when they see their parents with strangers. However, their training and breeding can influence aggressive behavior towards babies. Toddlers Boxers are great with toddlers and bond better with them if they grow up in the same household. However, you should monitor the interaction between boxers and toddlers. The child is still too young to read the cues from the dog thoroughly, and the dog may still be learning to interact with the child. Older Kids Older kids and boxers get along very well. Naturally, these older kids are more developed and can be trusted to relate well with dogs. The jovial temperament of boxers makes them great companions for older kids, especially when raised as puppies in the same household. They are familiar with these adults in the home. Familiarity over time tends to reduce any tensions. On the contrary, if the adults in the family are unfriendly toward dogs, you can expect your boxer to be hostile toward them. These breeds will defend themselves if they feel threatened rather than cower. Strangers Boxers react negatively and become protective when strangers appear at your front door. Lack of exposure as puppies makes them suspicious of everyone besides their parents. They will try to protect you if they feel you are in danger. They display their loyalty through aggression. This aggression can either be mild or intense and is a factor dependent on their training and level of exposure to people. They can either bark and retreat or attack the stranger in rare cases. If you ever experience the latter, you need to hire a canine trainer. Guests Guests will receive a similar treatment to strangers showing up in the house. However, boxers trained to be social when they were puppies will be friendly to anyone, including guests. Nonetheless, nature and nurturing play vital roles in the behaviors of dogs, and this affects how they treat humans. When nurtured by trainers and confident pet parents, they can adapt to new traits that are friendly to even guests. They often display severe hostility in this situation. This aggression could escalate to attacks if you trained the dog to be a guard rather than a pet. In this case, they are only friendly to family members and will defend their territory whenever a strange face shows up. On the contrary, boxers bred and trained as pets will only bark and rarely attack. Training can make them friendly towards family and friends and hostile to intruders or burglars. Outside Your Home Boxers are not suited for the outdoors. They can exhibit territorial dominance, extreme aggression, disobedience, and wild behaviors that are difficult to contain by pet parents. The best place to keep boxers is within the home. Most boxers require additional training to behave well outdoors. Are They Aggressive to Other Animals? Many boxers exert dominance and aggression over other animals. In extreme cases, this aggressive behavior will have them killing, fighting, or hurting others. Breeding, training and lack of socialization as puppies influence the level of aggression shown toward other animals. Other Animals in the Household Boxers are aggressive to other animals, including other dogs within the house. You can correct this trait through training from an early age so they can learn to cohabit with other pets. When it comes to cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles, boxers have strong instincts to hunt them, owing to their genetic makeup. Germans bred them for hunting, and this trait will linger until they have undergone intensive training. Animals They Encounter Outside Outdoors, this breed may show hostility toward other animals, including other dogs. They may also show friendliness depending on their mood and other factors like health issues, lack of exercise, social anxiety, and training. Boxers that are trained to be friendly or social with other animals, and people will not show aggression outside unless they perceive a situation as threatening. If your pet is always aggressive, a visit to a veterinary doctor and then a pet trainer can be the start of a rehabilitation process. Male boxers are generally more outgoing and aggressive than their female counterparts. This outgoing nature can make them exert dominance over their territory and become confrontational. Conversely, females are most aggressive when nursing their puppies and when they spot other females within their territory. They are more introverted and prefer the indoors. However, both genders are playful, fierce, and affectionate. As a pet parent, frequently observing your boxer for excessive displays of aggression is a good idea since underlying health challenges, lack of care, exercise, and other factors can influence such behavior. Always keep your vet doctor on speed dial or a trainer even if your pet is healthy. What Can Cause Aggressive Behavior? Some factors that can cause aggressive behavior in boxers include breeding history, tendency to exert dominance over their territory, socialization, and training. Breeding Germans originally bred boxers to be aggressive and strong. However, times have changed, and modern breeds are no longer vicious. They are now domesticated and serve as companions to humans while also playing the role of guards. When sourcing boxers, go for breeds that just got out of their litter and are between eight to ten weeks old. The most submissive will be too weak, and the most dominant will be challenging to tame. Having boxers that fall right in the middle of the dominance scale makes training easier. Socialization Aggression can be a product of social anxiety and fear. You can avoid this by bringing in the dog as a puppy and exposing them to different social situations. You can tackle this with training and by taking them to doggy daycare and off-leash dog parks where they can learn to be in packs and interact freely with others through the help of trainers. Training Dogs are intelligent by nature. They can learn and unlearn many concepts, but you must be conscious of your chosen teaching approach. The proper training can influence positive behaviors in them and curtail aggression. Conversely, a lack of adequate and responsible training can encourage aggressive behaviors. They are protective if they think someone is trying to hurt their parents or puppies or invade their territory. Your boxer is being protective when: They react to and focus on new changes like sounds and sights in the environment. Bark at perceived threats. Stand in between you and the perceived threat. Maintain their usual composure when the threat turns out to be harmless. On the contrary, they are aggressive when they: Bark continuously even after a perceived threat is averted. Growl and display their teeth aggressively. Assume a rigid and battle-ready posture. Display readiness to advance toward the threat. Identifying these signs can help prevent them from going wild on strangers, other animals, and family members. The signs include the following: Raised furs.

Boxer Dog Behavior to Keep in Mind While the Boxer is a great dog and very popular all around the world especially in the United States , because this is a big dog one of the largest of the medium sized breeds , one should keep a few things in mind. Boxer puppy behavior is excited and rambunctious. Boxer puppies are generally very active and love to jump and bounce around. If you love playing with and being entertained by a puppy- and a rather large one at that - the Boxer is for you! If your home is filled with expensive items and you generally keep things as clean as a whistle, having a Boxer pup playfully hopping around may not be right for you. A Boxer makes a lot of amusing noises. If you want a quiet dog, you may want to think about another breed. However, if you love Boxers and are amused by the many noises one can make, this is the dog for you! The Boxer, along with other mastiff breeds such as the Pug dog were bred to have flat faces and wide noses. Because of the shape of a Boxer's head and face, a Boxer will: Snort Grunt Snore- Sometimes snoring can be quite loud. Pass gas flatulence All dogs do this, the Boxer may just be a bit less discreet! Whine - A soft whining may be vocalized to gain attention. The Boxer is, in general, a bit stubborn. While this breed may not immediately follow every command and in some cases play a mental game with you called, "Who's the Boss? If your Boxer dog is not listening to you, you'll want to be sure to teach and then continually reinforce proper hierarchy. If you are looking for the easy way out, this breed is not for you. If you are looking for a dog that needs interaction and effort from his owner to be fully trained and you are happy to do it, a Boxer will fit well into your life style. The Boxer can display some destructive behavior if not properly stimulated throughout the day. Just as a human would have a difficult time sitting in 1 room all day, alone and without entertainment, so does this dog. .The breed needs an owner who is able to provide a daily schedule of activities: Walks and exercise to help maintain muscle mass, keep the heart healthy, and release pent-up energy, grooming to keep skin and coat healthy, bathing, regular meals, playtime and plenty of interesting dog toys. If a Boxer is given enough attention and activity when their owner is home, they will most likely settle down and behave well when left home alone. Separation Anxiety can occur with both puppies and adults that are left home alone for too long. How long is too long? That depends on the dog! For some, having an owner leave for 10 minutes can be stressful. For others, nervousness can set in after a couple hours. If your Boxer is very sensitive to being left alone, you can train him or her to learn to cope. When you leave, do not make a huge fuss or give hugs and kisses; this will send a message that leaving is a big deal. You can give your dog all the attention in the world, but stop doing so about 30 minutes before you actually leave. Once he has been fed, has been taken out to eliminate and perhaps had a walk, you should quietly leave. Throwing a toy as a distraction works well. Leave for just a few minutes and work your way up to longer and longer amounts of time. When you arrive home, again do not cause a fuss. Calmly enter and greet your dog with a relaxed tone. Your dog will read off of you and react accordingly. If you announce your arrival back as if you have just returned from a month-long vacation and shower him or her with affection, your Boxer will become very excited. If you arrive back calmly, and wait a bit before enthusiastic interaction, your dog will then not associate play and fun with your arrival. They will simply enjoy the attention. Other Dogs This breed generally gets along very well with other dogs and two Boxer dogs together will be partners in crime for life. While an established Boxer should be tested to see how he reacts and tolerates another dog before bringing in an addition to the household, most do remarkably well. This breed can be very friendly with the smallest of toy dogs and the largest of the large. Inside Environment The Boxer is on the top of the medium sized dog breeds. While a dog of any size can live in any sized home, space should be considered before bringing a Boxer home. While this dog can make do with living in a small apartment, having a larger living area is best for the Boxer breed. In general, this breed loves to run around and have room to jump and play, even as an adult. If you have hardly any extra room in your living room, what will happen when your puppy grows into a 60 lb. You will be sharing your couch with this breed and it is best to think ahead to what life will be like with this size dog. If you do have extra room imagine living with one extra human in your house , the Boxer is the right breed for you! But during our walks if another dog is walking towards us, she will get into a crouch down position and will start walking very slowly till they meet. She does this every time. Why does she do that? A: That's actually a great question. Many owners believe this sort of behavior is due to a submissive nature or to show caution. However, your Boxer crouches in that way as a sign of play.It appears that your Boxer is open to having canine playmates and that is a great sign of good socialization skills. Q: My Boxer is just about one year old and to this day he's yet to bark. He makes some noises, so his voice box is working. I don't really need him for protection, but it kind of would have been nice. Should I be concerned? A: It's actually not that uncommon for owners to worry their a Boxer doesn't bark. Many Boxers are better at protecting via their size than their bark. Some are just really laid back and easy-going. If you ever had a pup that was a yapper, you'd know how lucky you are. So, no reason to be concerned at all as long as he's not showing any signs of a health issue. Q: My 2 year old male Boxer hiccups a lot. Is that okay? Should I try and stop it? A: Canines do get hiccups just like humans and most cases are infrequent and short-lived. In cases where it lasts a long time, a dog can start to get frustrated with the diaphragm spasms and if your Boxer does show behavior that he's bothered you can intervene by giving him a spoonful of smooth peanut butter; that usually does the trick.

Jumping Up on People - If your Boxer is way too enthusiastic and leaps up to greet you or guests, this is common; but, there's some effective ways to train your puppy or dog to curb this behavior. Why do Boxers Drool - Some drooling can be expected. How much is normal and how much is considered excessive. Practice extinction conditioning: if your dog begs, ignore it completely. Consider giving your dog a toy or treat to keep it busy just before you sit down for dinner. If you get through dinner without your dog begging or trying to steal food, reward him afterwards with a treat and positive reinforcement. If the problem persists, avoid having any food out in front of it, and consider restricting its access to the kitchen using baby gates. If your Boxer barks excessively at the doorbell or phone, try training it to go to a designated area whenever it hears that particular sound. Repeat this process to teach it what the word means. Gradually set the mat farther away from the dog before giving the command as it begins to understand what the word means. Eventually, substitute the command word for the sound entirely, and be sure to offer plenty of positive reinforcement when your dog goes to its mat at the sound of the doorbell or knock. Increasing and varying its exercise if your Boxer is acting up in a non-aggressive way. Just letting a Boxer outside to use the bathroom is not sufficient exercise. It needs one to two hours a day of brisk exercise that involves both physical and mental exertion. If your Boxer starts to act up or act aggressively, such as when passing another dog on a walk, redirect its attention. Give the leash a tug to let your dog know it's time to move on, especially if it didn't respond to your verbal command and pointing. Boxers are energetic dogs and love to jump, but you should never let your dog jump on you or other people. When your dog jumps, do you best to completely ignore its behavior. Not giving your Boxer any attention at all is more of a punishment than yelling or hitting it, and will teach it that jumping is unacceptable behavior. Consider the amount of exercise it gets and increase or vary if necessary. Talk to your vet or local humane society about finding a reputable trainer. Contact your local pet store and ask if they have dog training classes. Ask if they have classes for dogs and their owners so you can learn more about how to curb aggressive behavior. Unfortunately, too often people get boxers for their looks and become frustrated with some of the behavioral issues that are common in the breed- like their world renowned stubbornness! But despite their impressive looks, that has made them popular as guard dogs , boxers are actually very sensitive. They do not respond well to too heavy of a hand, anger, or physical discipline. But with a boxer, physical-focused discipline can become dangerous. Boxers are protective by nature and when handled too roughly, they can sometimes become aggressive towards their owner. In order to achieve the best results in your boxer, provide consistent, gentle discipline and never react to your dog with anger. If you feel that you are having a difficult time controlling your temper with your boxer, it is best to separate yourself from your dog for a time and give yourself time to calm down before you attempt training again. True to their name, boxers have a habit of jumping up and punching with their front feet. This is a breed characteristic that the vast majority of boxers are likely to display. While this behavior may look very cute in a puppy, as your dog gets older, it can become very problematic. A boxer of a year or two of age that has not been taught to keep all four feet on the ground can result in a rambunctious young dog that can accidentally hurt people or knock them over with their punching. Therefore, along with the usual obedience training that you will likely want to teach any powerful, large breed dog, boxers particularly benefit from being trained to have the self-control to resist the urge to box. It is a good idea to train your boxer a command for standing up and punching out with the front feet and a command for keeping their feet on the ground. If your boxer jumps up and boxes at you, your family, or your guests despite being told not to, do not use often recommended techniques like kneeing your boxer in the chest when they jump up. Instead, use a tether or leash to prevent your boxer from displaying the undesirable behavior. However, this is a dog that was bred to have a job to do , and they can occasionally get bored with training. It is not unusual for a boxer to challenge their owner either. Therefore, regular, consistent training is very important, especially for such a powerful breed. Set rules and stick to them. Make sure the entire family and anyone else who serves as a caretaker for your boxer also are very consistent in the rules. It is not as important what the rules are as that you stick to them. A boxer that is allowed to get away with things sometimes will quickly learn that they can try to challenge the rules and do things they may or may not be supposed to. Consistency from the time your boxer comes into your home is absolutely essential. If your boxer misbehaves by being overactive, refusing to obey a known command, etc, it is important that they not be allowed to get away with the undesirable behavior. As always, removing your attention is a great way to give your boxer an opportunity to calm down and stop the undesirable behavior and discipline your boxer. Socialize With People The average boxer is extremely good with their family. Boxers are especially known for being wonderful with children. They tend to be patient, tolerant, and protective of their family. On the other hand, when it comes to strangers, boxers are not necessarily as likely to get along well unless they are well-socialized from an early age. Boxers are naturally protective, and they often excel in attack work and as home and personal protection dogs. Introduce your boxer to new people frequently throughout their life. If your boxer shows aggression inappropriately, take your boxer out of the situation and calm them down by crating or tethering them. Boxers that show extreme aggression towards new people despite socialization will benefit from a certified trainer or animal behaviorist. Never punish a boxer for showing aggression by yelling at them, striking them, or handling them roughly. This kind of behavior is most likely to result in an escalation of the negative behavior since your boxer will learn that there really is something to be feared from the new person. Generally, the best way to get a boxer to accept new people is to give them lots of positive reinforcement like affection and plenty of treats when there are new people nearby. This may be especially useful for dogs that begin showing aggression despite regular socialization. Socialize With Other Animals A well-socialized boxer is typically tolerant of other dogs and animals. However, aggression may come out even in well-socialized boxers. Boxers may tend to be more likely to show aggression towards same-sex dogs, so when choosing a companion for your boxer or when picking out playmates for your pup, choosing dogs of the opposite gender is a good idea. Historically, boxers were bred to hunt big game like bear, wild boar, and bison. Boxers also were used for dog fighting until this activity was made illegal. They have also served as cattle dogs. This means that boxers may sometimes show prey drive towards large animals like livestock and aggression towards other dogs. Boxers are less likely to behave inappropriately with livestock or other dogs when they are socialized with them from a young age. However, aggression can come out even in well-socialized dogs. It is always best to socialize boxers with other animals to set them up for success in preventing prey drive from coming out and causing aggressive behavior. For boxers that do develop aggression towards other dogs or animals despite socialization, self-control training is extremely important. Your boxer needs to learn to be in the same area as other animals without showing aggression. Never punish your boxer for showing aggression towards other animals. Punishment may cause your boxer to repress their aggressive behavior, only to have it come out unexpectedly when you may not be able to control your dog. Punishment can also increase frustration, making animal aggression worse instead of better. Instead of punishing your boxer for aggression, take them out of the situation and slowly reintroduce them to it when they have calmed down. Reward your dog for calm behavior at a distance from the trigger and gradually move closer and closer to other dogs or animals, rewarding along and along, until your boxer can be calm in proximity to other dogs or animals. Not every boxer will be able to be trusted loose with other dogs or animals. This is a breed that may not end up doing well at dog parks or loose with livestock. Each boxer is an individual, so carefully observe your boxer as they get older to see what kind of instincts are likely to come out in them. What to do When Your Boxer Misbehaves Knowing how to discipline your boxer in any given circumstance can be a challenge. If they ignore your command, separate yourself from your boxer or tether them so they are unable to perform the behavior. Refusing to comply Boxers can easily get bored with repetitive training and are known to sometimes challenge their owners as well. If your boxer refuses to comply with your command, resist the urge to keep repeating the command or punish your boxer for misbehavior. Instead, give your boxer some time in a crate or on a tether with a chew toy before asking them to behave again. But make sure that the crate or tether are never seen as punishment and simply a break. Aggression towards people or other animals Remove your boxer from a situation in which they are showing inappropriate aggression. Slowly reintroduce them to the trigger, maintaining a substantial distance and rewarding them for calm behavior. Gradually increase the proximity to the trigger. For situations involving severe aggression, seek out the help of an animal behaviorist. Over-excitement Boxers tend to be very energetic dogs, and especially when they are young they may not seem to have the self-control to handle their own excitement levels. If your boxer behaves in an overly excited manner, crate or tether them until they are able to behave calmly. Using a flirt stick is a great way to help your over-excited boxer learn self-control. Testing boundaries It is normal for all young dogs to test their boundaries and see which commands are rock-solid and which they may be able to push. If they are, make sure your boxer is always supervised in these situations and firmly control their ability to misbehave in these ways by using a leash, baby gate, or some other control. Never allow your boxer to get away with inappropriate behavior. Instead, firmly but gently stop your boxer from performing the behavior and redirect them to something appropriate like a toy. Enjoy a Well-Behaved Boxer A well-behaved boxer is truly a joy to live with. It can take some time to train your boxer since they tend to be a bit late to mature. From agility work to hunting boxers are ready for almost anything. However, with consistency and appropriate discipline, you will be able to enjoy your well-behaved boxer. About The Author Coral D.
