Mamie: Have we started or are you really asking? Victoria: Good morning, ladies. Victoria: Unpacking. Mamie: Oscar? Now she works for NPR. Melanie: We re-invented ourselves. Joy: Has anyone seen my car keys? Mamie: Ignore her, Joy. Your big man-hands are in perfect proportion to your big man-feet. Chance, have you seen my keys? Oscar: Mom. Victoria: What? Oscar: You know, mom, I think it was all the practice interviews you had me do as a child that made me want to be a journalist. Victoria: Aww. Victoria: Oh, you mean, the Woody Allen movie? Well, that is, like, huge. How have you changed personally? Oscar: Maybe we can get Melanie and Joy in on this. Are they around? For some reason, they all went to the vet. Victoria: Oh, no, no, no. That would be a terrible place to interview me. All that barking and meowing and — Oscar: Victoria Chase not an animal person. Expand later. Victoria: No, no, no, no, no, no. People would hate me. No, I mean, my career could be ruined. I know no one listens to npr, but you know, it could be picked up by an established source like access Hollywood or TMZ Live. You have to erase that. Oscar: No, mom. But you never say no to me. You always do just what I say. Oscar: Mom, I have to tell the truth. Victoria: Where is this coming from? Because you never learned it from me. Oscar: Mom, I learned it in journalism school. This is my job to observe and report. Oscar: Since when? Victoria: Since I moved to Cleveland. This is my second act. I love animals. I love animals more than people. No, no. Okay, we can tweak this on the way to the vet. Come on. I rather like it a lot. Mamie: What is she doing? Melanie: Something happens to Joy when she sees a man bringing a pet to a doctor. Mamie: I wish I had that kind of confidence with men. Please tell me I can donate a kidney. Sally: Hi, Victoria. Are you a fan? You gave me a makeover. Victoria: In my defense, who has a party on Saturday morning at ? Sally: Children. Victoria: Of course, children. Whom I love as much as if they were animals. Joy: Ugh. Forget that guy. Melanie: Married? Joy: Yes. And so conceited about it. Someone loves you. Drop dead. Oscar: So as part of your second act in Cleveland, how do you feel about approaching men? And that feels good. Melanie: Go flirt with that rabbit guy over there. Melanie: Well, you have a conversation starter right there. Ask him about his rabbit. Mamie: Oh, all right. Here goes nothing. Excuse me. Is this seat taken? Rabbit Guy: No. Mamie: I bet it is. I bet it is. Nice talking to you. Well, I tried. Look at me. Oscar: What about you, Melanie? Melanie: Oh, well, ever since I moved to Cleveland, I have been dating a lot. But I got a new job and I fell in love with my boss. And I hope he feels the same about me. Although his crazy ex-wife also my boss she would kill me if we ever got together. Joy: Pipe down, Victoria. Sally: Cool your jets. Joy: Are you sure? Elka: Skintight jeans, a teacup pig, if only there had been some clues. Joy: I give up. Sean: Hi. I just rescued these puppies from a fire. Joy: Marry me. I get that a lot. Mostly from women in cars when I run in the morning. Joy: Oh? What route? I mean, because I run. Yeah, always looking for a good route. Victoria: Did you really rescue them from a burning building? Elka: Ooh, we can find homes for them. Mamie: Elka and I volunteer at a rescue shelter. Sean: Oh, well, that would be great. You know, to me, you guys are the real heroes. Elka: Oh, thank you. Still thanking. You can take the puppies back now. Sean: I got to make sure these little guys are okay. I can tell they look great. Some glands to express? Sean: You mean soot? Sally: That too. Elka: Look at that stride. Original hips. Mamie: No, Elka. When your husband looks at you, he still sees the young girl he met and fell in love with. But now whoever I flirt with only sees an older woman with a no-fuss haircut and no game. Alec dumped a hot something for me. Oscar: Really? A hot something? Melanie: Yeah, I broke into his apartment and she showed up and said he went on vacation without her because he had to think about stuff. That you guys came to Cleveland for what may be. The focus of the piece is on people finding an act two in their lives. Victoria: Are you calling me a one act? Because I have been to festivals where all they show are one acts and everyone is bored. Back in L. She was sublimating her sexuality by waxing hair off celebrities. She was a pathetic, empty shell of a woman. Oscar: Of course it is, because now look at you. Oscar: And Melanie was always over at our house, complaining about her boring life and her loveless marriage. Melanie: I just thought you guys were on vacation a lot. Oscar: Look at you now, acting all crazy, going after the boss, breaking into apartments. Victoria: Hello? Oscar: Not from what I can see. Victoria: I do love animals! All animals. That animal. Well, what do we have here, huh? What is that thing? Man: A snapping turtle. You okay? Victoria: What happened to my sweet, little Oscar? I need some air. Victoria: Why is she doing this to me? But duty calls. Sean: It was nice meeting you all. I gotta get back to the firehouse. Joy: Wait. Um I was wondering, what are you doing Saturday night? Sean: Actually, I have a date with a lovely brunette. Joy: What? Sean: Sorry, I was trying to be clever. I was talking about you. Joy: You are clever. Elka: Smooth, Joy. Sean: Great. I guess I will see you on Saturday. Joy: Look at me. Hey, tough luck, married guy. So get in your station wagon and go home to your beautiful wife, Clarissa. I have issues. And a fireman! Hill: So what do we have here? Victoria: Turtle bite. Hill: Ooh! Except the occasional parrot. And that gets old pretty fast. Crackers are quite binding. Hill: Ooh, I see. She just had a big fight with her daughter. Victoria: How could she say these things to me? I mean, where did all this rebellion come from? Hill: Well the parent-child relationship can be quite a complicated one. Victoria: Where where are you going with this? Hill: Rebellion can be a good thing. No parent, whether animal or human, has done the right job unless they allow their offspring to grow and change. Especially right before we moved here and my career was coming to an end, my marriage was over. Sometimes she was the only thing that held me together. And then I moved in with you guys here in Cleveland. I am happy. I really am. But you were able to act happy. Victoria: Damn my talent. I need to go and talk to her. Melanie: Yeah. So we done here? Has she been spayed? Mamie: Great work, Elka. We found homes for all but one. Oscar: Hey, is my mom back yet? Victoria: You had every right to be upset. I was acting like a complete idiot. Oscar: You are? Victoria: Everything you said about me was true. But you were wrong about one thing. I have changed. And in the spirit of second acts, what do you say you and I start a new one? Victoria: Oh, but one thing. Mamie: Allergies? Victoria: White carpets. I wish I could make it up to you. Elka: I have a puppy. Victoria: Oh, good for you, Elka. Do you want this puppy? MacArthur foundation? Boy, nobody listens to NPR, do they? Sally: The doctor will be out in a minute, but great news. Chance came through with flying colors. All: Yay! Sally: So how about you? Joy: We have a date. Sally: I give it six months. Joy: Really? Hill: Mamie Sue Johnson? Mamie: Oh, my gosh. Tommy Hill? Hill: Well, I actually go by Dr. Joy: You two know each other? Mamie: Tommy sat behind me in first grade. Hill: I had the biggest crush on her. I asked my friend what her name was. She can read. Hill: Cut her head right open. So how have you been? Hill: Good. I was married. And you? Mamie: Six boys. Hill: Ah. Mamie: Eight grandkids. There was a rabbit here earlier with hideous, crusty eyes. Hill: Oh, you saw him? What a fascinating case. Had an unfortunate contusion Oh, Mamie. You were always such a shameless flirt. May I be forward with you? Mamie: Please. Hill: What are you doing Saturday night? Hill: Oh.

Tips for Choosing Reputable Breeders Breeding dogs , as well as other animals commonly kept as pets, can be profitable, leading to a rise in inhumane puppy mills. These high-volume dog breeding facilities churn out litters for profit, often ignoring the needs of the parents and puppies. In many cases, the puppies that come from puppy mills are unsocialized and suffer behavioral and emotional problems and health conditions. The facilities are poor, leaving puppies in extreme conditions in wire cages. The mother dogs are often found covered in filth with sagging nipples, crusted eyes, and parasites. When you research breeders, look for small operations with limited litters. Puppies should come with genetic health clearances, veterinary records, and vaccinations. Most puppies from breeders will be registered with limited breeding rights, meaning that your puppy will not be registered as a suitable breeding dog with the governing organization.

Here is an excerpt from her article: The ten reasons that I am giving for children to have a dog are not listed in order of importance. All of us have different characteristics which we find more important than others. Every reason I list, however, is important to the childhood of your son or daughter. Furthermore, telling a dog to sit, and then watching the dog do what he was told, provides children with tons of confidence. By giving children the confidence needed to consistently practice reading, they become better readers by virtue of the practice. Dog-owning children have fewer sick days off school, and children who own them often have better self esteem. Be sure to read the rest of her seven part article, Ten Reasons to Own a Dog.

Puppy pads Create a Schedule German Shepherd pups would do well with a schedule. Dogs live with a routine, and they are easy to train by having one. For this reason, make a schedule of the things you need to do regularly. Eventually, your pup will learn the routine events and will make itself adept at them. It will help you prepare for your pet, especially in the first few days of living together. As you allow your pet to adjust, do your best to create a stress-free environment for it. Always supervise it as it familiarizes itself with its new home. Still, it would be best to prepare yourself for loud noises when your pet is asleep.

Cain is a high energy guy who loves squeaky toys, benebones, and playing with his foster sister. A patient dog who can match his energy or an active family who is committed to providing regular enrichment walks, training, hiking, car rides would be ideal. He had one accident in the house but he is learning to ring bells to go outside. He will go in a kennel if a treat is thrown in, and he slept quietly in there overnight. He was full of energy and was super interested in the other dogs. He did jump up quite a bit though and was redirected with some success. He met 2 little kids and was gentle with them. Cain did well on the car ride too, though I do not recommend the windows to be down too low in fear that he would jump out. He had a pup cup from Scooters and seemed to really enjoy that. If I could, I would totally foster him, but I have 3 dogs of my own. He is such a sweet boy and I hope he finds forever home soon, I love him!

We added a crate pad for noise reduction and comfort. Crate training can be a lifesaver, and most dogs fall in love with having their own space. It is essential that the dog crate is never used as punishment — the crate must always be regarded as a safe and special retreat. Gates Puppies are curious creatures that often need boundaries. Use a gate to limit access to certain areas of your home and reduce unwanted chewing or house soiling. Introduce your dog to small sections of the house at a time. We prefer the walk-through gate for easy mobility through the house. Toys and Chews All dogs have slightly different preferences in toys, so I would start with various items to see what interests your puppy most. However, the last inch of a bully stick can be a choking hazard if swallowed. This safety device allows your pup to enjoy the benefits of long-term chews while reducing the risks of choking. I typically give it to her for 20 minutes, rinse it off, and store it in the refrigerator until the next day, which prevents bacteria growth.

Though she's happy to snuggle and cuddle up with you, she's also an active dog who enjoys being outside, be that going on walks or hikes , to the dog park , or playing fetch in a fenced-in backyard. As a good dog parent, you want to be prepared for whatever adventures await the two of you, but taking a look at all of the products out there for dogs can be overwhelming. From the right collar, leash and harness setup to grooming needs, food bowls, road trip necessities, toys to burn off all that energy, plus a few goodies for the humans, this list has everything you need to take care of the most golden part of your life. Featuring a collar, leash, and waste bag dispenser, you'll be prepared for your walks and your golden will love all the compliments on how handsome she looks. This harness, with its padded chest and belly, is fully adjustable for a perfect fit with leash clips in the front and back. It comes in a variety of colors to coordinate with your dog's leash and collar, too. The adjustable height means the serving tray can grow with your golden, and the pads on the bottom prevent slipping while she eats and drinks. Place a mat under the bowls to catch any water droplets. The stainless steel bowls can be removed and popped into the dishwasher for easy cleaning. Not only will she have to slow down to find the food, but she'll essentially work out a puzzle which keeps her mentally stimulated, too. Choose to purchase just the cover and fill it yourself with old pillows, towels, sheets, or clothes, or you can opt to purchase their eco-friendly fill made from plastic bottles or their memory foam insert. The extra-large size is recommended for full-grown goldens. Not only does the shampoo leave your pup fresh and clean, but it moisturizes and conditions so that after-bath brushings are tangle-free. It's terrific for dogs with sensitive skin, too. With a dense outer coat and thick undercoat, it can take some time to brush out all the layers, but this undercoat rake makes quick work of their luscious locks. One Chewy reviewer wrote that the medium-tooth rake was "so wonderful to get my two golden retrievers' undercoat combed out. Also, the gel grip is quite easy to hold on to. The non-slip handle works for both right- and left-handed users, and ensures you maintain control to avoid any mishaps. One reviewer says: "I stumbled across these supplements while trying to find some joint relief for my golden, Sandy. After only a week I already saw some improvement in her movement and she had an easier time getting up into and out of the car, which was becoming a struggle. Her coat is also looking healthier and she seems to be less itchy. Not only does this fleece-lined coat fit snugly for maximum warmth, but it's waterproof and has reflective strips to stay safe during nighttime walks and winter hikes.

When it's time to go, simply lay the cover over the seat, loop straps around the head rests, push the anchors in, and voila—you're ready to hit the road! One way to do that is to use a harness that doubles as a seat belt: simply attach the harness to the seatbelt using a carabiner, and you'll both be on your way safely and comfortably. Fill the bottle, twist on the top that doubles as a bowl, and when your golden's ready for a drink, squeeze the bottle and water will fill the bowl. Release, and the water disappears back into the bottle. Pop some treats in the holes, cover them up, and watch your pup work her magic to figure out the puzzle and find those tasty rewards. Just like a ball you use to play fetch , this one flies through the air but when she retrieves it, she'll spend some time figuring out how to get to her favorite treats inside. When your pup drops the ball into the top of the launcher, it'll throw it 10, 25, or 40 feet; choose the "random" setting to keep her guessing.

Perfect for the dog park, running errands, around the house, or really anywhere you please! The design can also be used on totes, hats, and more. However, avoid retractable leashes whenever possible: Although they seem easier during walks, retractable leashes are actually dangerous, especially for young puppies who are still getting the hang of walking on a leash. Keep your puppy on a regular leash with a maximum of six feet of space between you both. Snowy Pines recommends slip leads: Slip leads are what puppies are taught to walk on from a young age at Snowy Pines, since they give you as the walker more control over the puppy as he gets the hang of normal walks. You can also opt for an embroidered collar if your puppy seems bothered by the noise or extra weight of the dog tags. Many puppy owners choose embroidered collars since dog tags should be removed when the puppy is left alone as they can pose a hazard. You can stick with a small food and water bowl. Puppy Food Your puppy will need high-quality food to grow strong! In most cases, this means his own dog crate. A good dog crate should be large enough for him to stand up, turn around, and lay down comfortably. You can choose a crate that expands as it grows to save money in the long run. Most of our puppies at Snowy Pines will do well in a inch wire kennel with a divider that you can remove once he gets bigger. Be sure to check out our dog bed reviews too! Remember that most toys should not be left alone with your puppy since unsupervised playtime can lead to a choking or blockage incident. Image Source Puzzle Toys Puzzle toys keep your pup mentally stimulated while they also have fun. Additionally, these interactive toys provide help with weight management, satisfy natural hunting instincts, and even relieve feelings of stress or anxiety. These toys can easily become a comfort item and help curb any potential anxiety as well. Chase Toys Golden puppies need to have regular exercise. Chase toys are simple things you can buy at any pet store, like ropes and balls, but some interactive chew toys are designed to add a little zing to your daily play routines. So, for example, if your puppy just woke up from his nap and pottied, but you need to do laundry and load the dishwasher, the exercise pen is a perfect solution. It enables your pup to enjoy safe solo playtime. Training Treats Food is a powerful reinforcer , so treats are incredibly beneficial in the early stages of puppy training. Try offering him a treat when he potties outside or uses a chew toy. Quick Tip: The treat should be small and chewy so that he can eat it fast and keep his attention on you! With the proper carpet cleaner and enzyme spray, you can quickly combat any potty mistakes anywhere in the house. Dog Shampoo and Conditioner The Retriever family has a unique, double-layered coat designed to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer. It also dries quickly after becoming wet. It is such an impressive coat that it is essentially self-cleaning when it comes to dirt and debris. Pooper Scooper and Poop Bags A pooper scooper is a handy tool that many homeowners with yards find essential. Instead of bending down every time your pup goes, you can use a pooper scooper to clutch onto the waste and quickly throw it in your outside garbage bin. They are also expected as a common courtesy to other people outside. So before your English Cream Golden puppy comes home, be sure that your home, backyard, and car are puppy-safe and puppy-proofed. In the Home: Image Source Keep the toilet lid closed. Believe it or not, open toilet lids have the potential to be drowning hazards. Secure medicine and cleaning products. Keep these products high up or use childproof locks and latches on lower cabinets. Garbage should be kept lidded and secure. Lidded, secured bins are the best type of garbage cans you can have with a young puppy. Not only do you want to avoid spilled garbage, but a locked lid will prevent your puppy from getting into any potential hazards. Hide electrical cords and blind cords. Exposed electrical cords and long blind cords can prove to be fatal for curious puppies. Keep electrical cords hidden away, buy cord wraps to keep them safely covered, and be sure that your blind cords are tied high and inaccessible. Invest in a pet or baby gate. Gates can be used for doorways or staircases to keep your puppy away from certain areas of the house. In the Backyard: Be careful of plants and landscaping that may be poisonous or dangerous. Many plants are toxic to dogs , so be sure to triple-check if any are growing in your yard. Secure your yard with fencing and add gates around bodies of water. If you plan to let your puppy roam freely in your backyard, you should have complete fencing with no puppy-sized gaps around the perimeter of the property. If you have any ponds or pools, block them off with appropriate fencing to avoid accidental drowning. Keep your yard landscaped and manicured. Long grass and brushy areas can invite ticks, which can be extremely dangerous if any potential bites are not discovered early on. Generally speaking, your grass should not be higher than a couple of inches and potentially even shorter while your puppy is still young. In the Car: Image Source Move any chewable items and lock loose items in the glovebox. Confine your puppy in one area of the vehicle, like the backseat. Keeping your puppy confined to one area of the car is safe for everyone. Many puppy parents choose harness seat belts and car seats for younger dogs, while older dogs are big enough to safely sit in the back seat or trunk with cargo barriers. As your Golden Retriever gets older, you may find yourself opting for different barrier methods that will better suit his size. Kennel your puppy while in the car. Crating your puppy is the safest mode of transportation while in the car. Deciding on a Daily Routine Like children, puppies thrive on a fixed routine because an orderly one instills structure and confidence. Sticking to a schedule can also help reinforce potty training and prevent behavioral issues , like separation anxiety and barking or whining. Think of a schedule that works best for your puppy, which should include: Feeding: Pick out regular meal times and stick to them as closely as possible. Golden Retriever puppies will need three daily feedings until they are six months old. After that, stick to feeding twice a day at the same time each day. Fixed meal times will help you predict when your puppy needs to potty each day, which better ensures easier potty training. Scheduled potty breaks: Take your puppy out to the yard or on a walk to potty immediately after a meal and after they wake up to enforce a schedule that will help with house training. Playtime and exercise: Playing and mental stimulation are key to a happy puppyhood. Even though they will mellow out in personality as they become adults, Retriever puppies are high energy! Place the dog crate in a quiet part of the house since we kennel train at Snowy Pines, and it helps ensure their safety and comfort. And now is the exciting part: Your puppy is finally home! But now what? Puppy Socialization Socialization is vital for young puppies, especially between 8 to 16 weeks of age: A well-socialized puppy will grow into a happy and confident adult that feels secure in various situations. You can also invite friends and family over to meet the puppy. In this case, more is always merrier! To help your puppy feel comfortable around humans in general, expose him to different types of people when he is still young. We also recommend holding off on public settings like dog parks until your puppy is settled into his new home and routine so as to not overwhelm him. Once your puppy is vaccinated, you can consider signing him up for puppy socialization classes. These classes, alongside training courses, can help prepare your pup for a long walk or a day at doggy day camp. Training Techniques Training is just as essential as early socialization. He may become disruptive and exhibit poor behaviors like jumping on visitors, chewing on furniture, and barking incessantly, among other frustrating challenges. Your puppy may also struggle with separation anxiety. They will comprehend basic commands and learn things such as his name, housebreaking, and early manners. They will be able to take on more advanced training and commands, and they should understand what good dog manners are. This age is essential when it comes to instilling how you want him to behave through adolescence. Puppies will begin teething at this point. Your new puppy might use anything possible to exercise his teeth, so you must start teaching him not to use your hand or furniture as chew toys. Anytime your puppy chews on something undesirable, have a toy nearby to put in his mouth instead. You can also try using bitter apple spray to deter biting and chewing on household items. Be firm but loving with clear, consistent commands and minute training sessions each day. Quick Tip: Keep in mind that at this age, this is when the key socialization period ends for your puppy: From this point forward, everything your puppy has learned will influence the way he behaves around people and other animals. While this is good, this age will also be a challenge because he will try to determine his ranking in the household, which can be frustrating when hormones play a role! Although spaying and neutering are standard for most breeds around six months old, studies have found that doing so for Golden Retrievers can actually increase the risk for joint disorders. Therefore, the standard for this breed has recently changed, and many vets suggest waiting to spay or neuter until 12 to 24 months. Training can be an overwhelming process, which is why many Golden puppy owners opt for working with a dog trainer or enrolling in training classes. Snowy Pines offers three levels of training when adopting one of their golden retrievers, which can save you tons of time and frustration in the long run. At your first checkup, you can also ask about getting your puppy microchipped! Read the full disclosure here. This comprehensive list covers all the essentials, plus some added extras. Food: Every dog needs food! See our puppy food guide for recommendations. Bowls: Your puppy is going to need something to eat that food from. Something to think about. Bedding: Your pup will need a comfortable bed to call their own. You can decide whether to choose a puppy-sized one or one that they can grown into. To avoid buying more than one crate, you can get one big enough to fit your adult golden and make it puppy-sized using dividers. Brushes: Get your puppy some brushes suitable for a longer-coated dog. The sooner you get pup used to being brushed, the easier it will be in the future. Toothbrush and toothpaste: These are daily essentials in your grooming routine. Be sure to choose a dog-specific toothpaste as the human stuff can be dangerous to canines. Treats: Essential for training. Pick high-value treats for when you really want to motivate your pup. Chew toys are essential to help direct chewing away from your belongings. Tug toys, balls to play fetch and treat-dispensing toys are also nice to have. Travel harness or dog guard: To keep your dog safe in the car. These are the main things you need to think about when puppy proofing your home. Put them up high or away in their proper place. Not only will it leave you out of pocket if your pup chews something expensive, many such items are also choking hazards. Be careful of plants: Make sure you remove any plants that are poisonous to dogs , both in your house and your garden. Common offenders include foxglove, wisteria and yew. Secure medicines and cleaning products: Both medicines and cleaning products can be highly toxic to dogs if ingested. Hide electrical cords: If a puppy sinks their teeth into an electrical cord, it can prove fatal. Try not to have electrical cords running across the room or out in the open where your puppy can get to them. If needs be, you can get cord concealers, cord wraps or even pvc pipes to secure them. Planning Appropriate Puppy Socialization Socialization, with both humans and other dogs plus other animals, if your new puppy is going to be around them , is one of the most important things to think about with your new puppy. A well-socialized puppy should turn into an adult dog who interacts well with all dogs and people, which makes your life so much easier as a dog-owner. It might sound a bit over the top, but it will stop your pup from getting confused or overstimulated and it sets some ground rules for the humans involved, too. Pick out regular meal times for your puppy and try to stick to them as closely as possible. Also take your puppy out into the garden on a schedule, as this will really help with toilet training. You can also schedule in training sessions, play sessions and, when your puppy is old enough, their daily walks. Learning How To Train Your Puppy You might think that training your new dog will be intuitive when you get them home, but dog training is a skill you learn, not one you just pick up as you go along. Once your puppy is old enough, group puppy training classes are an excellent idea. Not only will you learn more about training your pup, your dog will also get to socialize with other young canines. The ideal option is to have the puppy in the back seat in a car harness and have a passenger sit next to them, who can hold, pet and comfort them on the journey home. Some people forgo the harness altogether and have a passenger simply hold the puppy, wrapped in a blanket or towel. However, before you even get your puppy into the car, you should try to get them to relieve themself first , to avoid any toilet-based accidents on the journey home. Once you get your precious pup home, all that effort and preparation will have been worth it to give your new four-legged friend the best start in life. You May Also Like.

Think about potty accidents, food, and water spillage in their area. If you plan on crate training your puppy at night also think about the proximity to your bedrooms. There will be crying and barking at night while your puppy is training. Decide on a veterinarian. Call a couple of local vets and get prices for your puppy shots. When choosing a vet keep in mind the cost of visits, location to your home, and hours. Are they available after hours for emergencies?

You should also gather the necessary supplies and equipment such as food and water bowls, a bed, toys, grooming supplies, and a harness for walks. Additionally, you will want to look into a veterinarian close to you to ensure your Labradoodle is kept up-to-date with regular check-ups and vaccinations. Outdoor areas should be brought up to safety standards and ready for puppy playtime. What sizes do Labradoodles for sale in Lodi come in? Labradoodles can range in size, depending on their mix of parent breeds. They traditionally come in three sizes, including the large Standard Labradoodle, the medium Miniature Labradoodle, and the small Toy Labradoodle. Standard Labradoodle males typically reach heights between 21 and 24 inches, and usually weigh between 50 and 65 pounds. Miniature Labradoodle males will usually reach between 14 and 16 inches in height, while weighing anywhere between 15 to 25 pounds. How much exercise do Labradoodle puppies near Lodi need? Labradoodles vary in exercise needs based on their personality and age. Generally, though, they require at least 30 minutes of exercise a day to stay healthy and content, with activities like running, swimming, or fetch. Puppies and younger dogs typically need more exercise, whereas older dogs may require less. If you have a very active Labradoodle, they might need more than the daily 30 minutes, while a less active one may need less. Do Labradoodles in Lodi get along with other pets? Labradoodles are known for their friendliness towards other creatures, including other pets, and usually get along very well with them. This is because Labradoodles are known to have a sweet and caring temperaments. These loving dogs interact well with other pets, and rarely act out aggressively towards them. In most cases, Labradoodles are very gentle when it comes to interacting with other species. How many minutes per day do I need to train Lodi Labradoodles for sale? The amount of minutes needed to train a Labradoodle per day will depend on the individual dog and their learning curve. Generally, it is recommended to have at least 20 to 30 minutes of focused training every day to reinforce commands and socialize the dog. It is also important to engage the Labradoodle actively multiple times throughout the day in additional activities. This could be activities like obedience, agility, and nose work training. It's important to remember that each dog is different and will require different amounts of training and nurturing to reach your desired goals.

Also known as pectus galinatum, this condition occurs rarely in dogs, but when it does it's obvious in puppyhood. Beagles are more often afflicted than other breeds, as are dogs who are closely inbred. Dogs with pectus carinatum should not be bred. The Normal Canine Chest A dog normally has 13 pairs of ribs that come down from the spine's thoracic vertebrae to the breastbone, or sternum. Rib pairs 12 and 13 -- the so-called "floating ribs" -- don't always link up to the breastbone. The breastbone consists of three different bones -- the manubrium, the keel and the xiphoid process. The manubrium, the breastbone's front, upper part, is near the first two rib pairs and heads upward toward the area of the esophagus. The keel, also known as the body, is the bone between the dog's front legs, while the xiphoid process takes up the rear of the sternum. Pectus Carinatum In dogs with pectus carinatum, the manubrium comes to a point rather than curving. That bump can be felt even in young puppies. The deformity occurs far more frequently in males than females. Dogs born with pectus carinatum often suffer from other issues, including scoliosis, or curvature of the spine. In severely deformed dogs, pectus carinatum can affect lung and heart function. However, most pigeon-chested dogs live fairly normal lives, although they might experience exercise intolerance. Related Abnormalities Pigeon-chested dogs often suffer from other abnormalities related to breastbone deformity. These include short ribs, in which the ribcage doesn't go far back enough into the abdomen, resulting in a lack of structural support. Such dogs might also exhibit abnormally thin waists, known by the term "herring-gutted. Pectus Excavatum Far more common in dogs is the chest deformity known as pectus excavatum. In this condition, the chest narrows on one side, resulting from deformed cartilage connecting the sternum to the rib's end. The dog's chest appears concave or flat. Dogs born with pectus excavatum often exhibit breathing difficulties. Severely affected dogs usually have short life spans unless they undergo surgery to correct the deformity. Recurrent upper respiratory tract infections Difficulty sustaining physical activity Heart murmur or abnormal heart sounds Cyanosis a blue or grey cast to the skin In addition to the above-noted signs of pectus anomaly, a condition known as swimmer syndrome may sometimes be present in puppies with PE. Puppies with this condition have their back legs, and sometimes front legs, placed in a more lateral or abducted position. While chest bone deformities in dogs may result in either mild symptoms or a lack of symptoms altogether, it is also possible for severe cases to lead to debilitating abnormalities of the heart and lungs. In canines affected by PE, respiratory distress, or difficulty breathing is the symptom noted most frequently by owners. This may be due to the displacement of organs within the chest cavity, or impaired ventilation secondary to the inward protrusion of the chest wall. Additionally, life-threatening compression of the heart and twisting or crimping of the blood vessels surrounding the heart may occur secondary to this deformity. The aforementioned dangers are primarily discussed in the veterinary literature as secondary to PE, as opposed to PC. However, self-limiting difficulty breathing during exercise has been documented with the latter condition. Pectus anomaly may be diagnosed by your veterinarian during a physical exam. Chest radiographs may be recommended to better evaluate the severity of the condition, and to determine whether any other abnormalities of the heart or lungs are present. An echocardiogram, or ultrasound of the heart, can also be considered to more accurately identify any concurrent cardiac abnormalities. What are treatment options for canine chest bone deformities? Treatment may be pursued for canine chest bone deformities depending on several factors, including the severity of the abnormality, and the presence of symptoms. For dogs with mild PE, treatment may not be needed, as the condition may resolve on its own. When treatment is indicated, the specific procedure used is often dependent on the age of the animal. Younger dogs will typically have a more flexible chest, and an external splint may be used for a period of 3—4 weeks to correct the abnormality. Older animals may require more invasive surgery, which involves the removal of part of the costal cartilage cartilage that connects the sternum to the ribs , and placement of an internal splint along the sternum. With regards to PC, the use of an external, compressive splint for the correction of the deformity has been documented in one canine patient ; however, this resulted in cyanosis and difficulty breathing, and was promptly removed. The prognosis for chest bone deformities in canines may vary depending on the severity of the abnormality. Overall, PE is considered to have a good prognosis in young animals , and even severe cases can do well with surgical correction. In humans, PC prognosis is considered to be excellent, with many affected individuals remaining asymptomatic. Similarly, symptoms in affected dogs tend to be mild, if noted at all. As such, a good prognosis is expected. Conclusion In summary, while uncommon in canines, chest bone deformities can occur and may be noted with higher frequency in brachycephalic dogs, such as pugs and bulldogs. If you are concerned that your dog may have a pectus anomaly, a consult with your veterinarian is recommended for further evaluation. While a diagnosis of PE or PC may be startling, as a whole, these conditions have a good long-term prognosis and most affected canines will be able to live a long, happy, and healthy life. Pectus excavatum, seen here, is a congenital defect resulting in a chest wall deformity. Pectus excavatum was first described in people the early s and several case reports from the late s were published. The etiology of pectus excavatum is unknown. The clinical signs can be variable with most cases in humans presenting with mild signs or concern about cosmesis. Dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, tachycardia, and exercise intolerance have all been reported in people. The anthropometric or clinical index, measures the depth of the defect and compares it to the depth of the thorax. Radiographs show the degree of deformity and can be used to calculate several different indices which assess the amount of compression. The frontosagittal index FSI compares the width of the thorax at its widest point with the depth of the thorax at its most narrow point and a ratio is determined. The Haller index HI , also called the pectus index, was first described in and is calculated by dividing the transverse diameter of the chest by the narrowest anterior-posterior distance on a computed tomography CT scan axial slice. It can also be calculated using plain film and has been shown to correlate well with the CT calculations. CT scan has been shown to result in a lower vertebral index and a higher frontosagittal index in kittens when compared to radiographic measurements. Treatment for pectus excavatum depends on the severity of the clinical signs. Pain is a common complaint in human patients and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and acupuncture have been reported to help. Daily medial lateral compression of the chest or compression bandages have been described for neonatal puppies and kittens however, this is unlikely to improve severe deformities. In the case of severe pectus excavatum or in older patients, surgery is required. The two most commonly performed surgeries are the Ravitch procedure and the less invasive Nuss procedure. The Ravitch procedure involves an open surgical approach with removal of the deformed cartilage and metal bars are implanted to support the sternum. This is a long procedure with potentially significant morbidity. The Nuss procedure is performed under thoracoscopic guidance and a curved metal bar is placed and then flipped into position to raise the sternum. In older animals, an open approach is required to correct the deformity. Ostectomy of a portion of the costal cartilage is required to allow the sternum to be realigned and an internal splint, such as a bone plate, is used to keep the sternum in this position. Anesthesia in patients with pectus excavatum can be challenging. Because surgery is often performed in very young puppies and kittens, their body temperature should be carefully monitored as their thermoregulation is not fully developed and they have little fat. Their metabolism rate is higher than adult patients and as a result, they require shorter fasting times and higher fluid rates. Severe cases can do well with surgery. A procedure with circumsternal sutures and an external splint is the most commonly performed in young animals. Surgery is best accomplished between 8 and 12 weeks when the thorax is still compliant but the patient is old enough to tolerate anesthesia.

What should you do? What do you do with a dog chest bone sticking out? If you discover that your Frenchie has an abnormal-looking chest, you should take the following actions: Wait and observe The fact is that pigeon chest is an extremely rare condition in French bulldogs, and even if it were present, they are able to live normal lives. If they do not seem to have any problems aside from the common ones , there is really nothing much you need to do about it except shower it with love and be the best dog parent you can be. Reduce exercise intensity On a similar note, you do not want to overload your Frenchie with too much exercise if you do notice that it has a pigeon chest. Since the structure of the chest bone is compromised, it might not do well when it comes to physical activities. Instead of going for minute walks, start with minute walks and slowly increase the amount of time. Keep a close eye on your dog and stop immediately if you notice breathlessness or signs that it is struggling. If your dog has a pigeon chest, you should inform your breeder so that it can stop breeding the ones affected. You should also expect an explanation from them about why this has happened, why they failed to inform you, and discuss a resolution. Most breeders have it in their contract that they will take responsibility if an incident like this comes up, so be sure to talk this through with them. Bring it to your vet for diagnosis The only way to be sure is to visit your vet. They have the right equipment and imaging machines to determine if indeed your puppy is suffering from pigeon chest or similar deformities. They are also able to advise you on the next best course of action. Only if you notice any issues that might cause major problems should you need to visit the vet.

Failure to gain weight Causes There is a genetic predisposition in some dog breeds, particularly brachycephalic breeds, but pectus excavatum can occur spontaneously in any breed. The condition may not be obvious until several weeks after birth unless it is a severe form. Raising puppies on surfaces causing poor footing may also predispose these animals to developing such a condition. Diagnosis You will need to give your veterinarian a thorough history of your dog's health, any information you have of its parentage and genetic background, and the onset of symptoms. Routine laboratory tests will include complete blood tests, biochemical profiles, and a urinalysis. Your veterinarian will conduct multiple X-rays of the thoracic cavity to confirm the diagnosis of pectus excavatum. These X-rays will reveal the actual deformities and related structural abnormalities. In some patients, the heart may be shifted from its normal place on the left side of the thoracic cavity due to the abnormal shape of the bones. Abnormalities and concurrent diseases related to the respiratory system will also be visible on X-rays. Echocardiography, a sonographic image of the heart, will be used to further evaluate the heart, its functioning ability, and possible cardiac defects. Treatment Surgery remains the only treatment option for repairing this deformity. However, if the disease is mild and your dog only has a flat chest, then it may be improved without surgery. In such cases, your veterinarian will instruct you in manually compressing the chest in such a way that will encourage the sternum and costal cartilages to take on a more convex shape. In some dogs, a splint application will work to reduce the mild defects. However, in cases of moderate or severe inward sinking of the sternum, surgery is indicated for correction of the defects. The technique used by your veterinary surgeon will depend on your dog's age and the extent of the problem. Dogs with respiratory problems that are directly related to this condition, meanwhile, generally improve substantially after surgery and will start breathing more comfortably. Living and Management Prognosis is very poor for severely affected patients, but a timely intervention and reparation at an early age may help improve the prognosis. Follow your doctor's guidelines for physical therapy at home if your dog has a mild form of the condition. After surgery, your dog may feel sore and will need proper rest in a quiet place, away from other pets, active children, and busy entryways. You might consider cage rest for a short time, until your dog can safely move about again without overexertion. Trips outdoors for bladder and bowel relief should be kept short and easy for your dog to handle during the recovery period. Your veterinarian may also prescribe a short course of pain killers until your dog has fully recovered, along with a mild course of antibiotics, to prevent any opportunistic bacteria from attacking your dog. Medications will need to be given precisely as directed, at the proper dosage and frequency. Keep in mind that over dosage of pain medications is one of the most preventable causes for death in household animals. Help us make PetMD better Was this article helpful? Confession: Yes, our opening paragraph is a tortured stretch to get to the topic of pigeon breasts in dogs, but there it is. The breastbone, itself, has three different bones — the manubrium, the keel and the xiphoid process. It points to a dog with pectus carinatum, a malformation of the chest. Research has found that the deformity occurs more frequently in males than females, and colloquially, the condition is called a pigeon chest. A dog diagnosed with pectus carinatum often has other issues, including scoliosis, but the good news is that most pigeon-chested dogs live fairly normal lives if owners know that such a dog may be intolerant to much exercise. It can also refer to a dog with a narrow chest, a noticeable tuck up close to the elbows, and the lack of a posternum. There is a shorter breastbone, and when viewed from the side, the dog seems to be no forechest. With insufficient room for the heart and lungs, such a dog lacks endurance. Curious that the term means too much in one species, and too little in the other, but extremes are either end of the term are undesirable. Bookmark the permalink. Post navigation.

Life Span Did You Know? The Poodle is one of the oldest dog breeds and was originally developed in Germany to hunt waterfowl. The Poodle may have originated in Germany, but they are much-loved by the French. So much so that the Poodle is the national dog of France. The Miniature Poodle is slightly more recent. This Mini version likely originated in France. The Mini Poodle has all of the same characteristics as a Standard Poodle; they just come in a smaller package. The Miniature Poodle is one of the smartest dog breeds. On top of their intelligence, they are also known to have a cheerful disposition and a sensitive nature. They get along great with children. Due to their small size, they can be easily injured by rough play or accidental falls that can happen with younger children. Because of this, they may be better suited to a home with older children. Younger children should be fine as long as they are taught how to properly interact with a small dog and interactions between young kids and puppies are closely supervised. Although they are considered part of the Non-Sporting Group, some facts about Miniature Poodles are that they are versatile and athletic dogs that are also quite playful. Provided they are well-socialized, they get along well with other dogs and tend to do well with strangers. They do tend to be protective of their home and can be suspicious of strangers coming up on the property. They are known to bark to alert you of strangers coming to the house. This makes them a good watchdog, but overall, they are more interested in making friends. This dog breed is highly adaptable. The Miniature Poodle does well in any type of home, including apartments, and fits in with just about any family type. They do well in most climates, but, as with many dog breeds, they are sensitive to heat and extreme cold. Because Mini Poodles are people-oriented, they do not like being left alone and will not handle being left alone for long periods of time very well. Good breeding practices make a big difference in the health of puppies. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to make sure they are not passing preventable issues to puppies. Make sure you ask the breeder about the health and genetic history of both parents and about any health tests or clearances that have been done. Miniature Poodles are highly intelligent, easy to train, and eager to please, which makes them a good fit for owners of any experience level and one of the best dog breeds for first-time owners. They are a people-oriented breed and are sensitive to moods and tones of voice. They do not respond well to harsh training methods or harsh tones as they take it personally, get their feelings hurt, and lose respect for you. A Mini Poodle tends to respond best to consistent training that is fun and focused on positive rewards. A Mini Poodle is one of the fluffiest dog breeds and will have a curly or corded coat that can come in just about any color. Although this dog breed has a low-shedding, hypoallergenic coat, their coat still needs a lot of grooming. They need to be brushed daily to prevent tangles and matting. They should also be professionally groomed every 4 to 6 weeks to keep their coat healthy. Miniature Poodles are high-energy dogs that require a good amount of exercise each day. Daily walks plus some playtime and other activities are usually enough for them. When puppies finish growing and developing, they often enjoy games of fetch and other activities like swimming, hiking, or jogging with their favorite human. Mini Poodles also tend to be great candidates for several dog sports, like agility, tracking, obedience, retriever hunt tests, and more. Just make sure to visit the vet and get your dog cleared for these activities before you jump in. Fully-grown Miniature Poodles usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds.
