Frequently Asked Questions
About Goldendoodle Puppies
What are Goldendoodles known for?
Goldendoodles are a mix of two of the most affectionate, friendly breeds: Golden Retrievers and Poodles. They adore being around people and crave companionship. Their personalities and coats range depending on their genes, but you can count on these cute canines to be your best friend to the end. Full-grown, they typically weigh 50-90 pounds and stand 20-24 inches tall.
Are Goldendoodles a good choice for families with kids?
Goldendoodles are generally excellent with children of all ages. Goldendoodles are the quintessential family dog. They’re eager to please and get along well with children, other animals, and strangers. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
How active are Goldendoodles on a daily basis?
The Goldendoodle requires an average amount of exercise. Most enjoy swimming, daily walks, and playtime. With Golden Retriever in their genes, these dogs do well at games that involve retrieving, like fetch and Frisbee. Overall, their exercise needs are high.
How much brushing and bathing does a Goldendoodle need?
The Goldendoodle’s coat is a cross between the Golden Retriever and Poodle coat, having fine hair that can be curly or straight. Depending on the Poodle influence, Goldendoodles can come in a wide variety of colors, including white, tan, chocolate, black, red, silver, or a mix. They may shed very little or a bit more based on whether their Poodle side or Golden Retriever side is stronger. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance. Goldendoodles are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
How much space does a Goldendoodle need?
Goldendoodles are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. These pups are social and love being around people, so they do best with families that are home a lot. Because of their craving for companionship, Goldendoodles should always live inside and never been banned to the backyard. They are fairly easy to train.
Mal Shi
Frequently Asked Questions
About Mal Shi Puppies
What makes Mal Shis special?
The Mal-Shi is a cross between a Maltese and a Shih Tzu. This hybrid originated in the United States. It is also known by Shih-tese, Shihtese and Malti Tzu. The Maltese is a small, fearless and very playful dog with a long, white silky coat that is hypoallergenic (very low shed cycle). Maltese do very well with other animals, but are often leery of strangers. The Shih Tzu is a medium sized and more sturdy breed with a double coat that is very people focused and literally thrives on attention and affection. The combination of these two breeds produce a cute, sturdy, intelligent, family focused dog with a slow shed cycle. Full-grown, they typically weigh 6-12 pounds and stand 10-10 inches tall.
Are Mal Shis safe around children?
Mal Shis are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. They do well with older children, nearly all animals, and with those of whom they are accustomed. They're not overly vocal and often fearful of strangers, making them a poor candidate for watchdog. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
How do I keep a Mal Shi physically active?
Mal-Shi are house pets in need of protection from extreme temperatures and they require plenty of exercise and playtime. A brisk twenty minute daily walk may do the trick, but don't neglect to fulfill their never ending desire to run, chew and play. A bored lazy Mal-Shi is likely to become depressed, destructive, disobedient or even worse, missing. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
Is a Mal Shi a good choice for someone with allergies?
The MalShih coat typically resembles that of a standard Shih Tzu with less, or no, undercoat. Like the standard Shih Tzu, the Mal-Shi does not shed as like most breeds do, but rather lose hair slowly like people. Most owners keep their Mal-Shi in a puppy cut (coat trimmed short) and others groom them daily using the traditional top knot and center part. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance. Mal Shis are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
What should first-time owners know about Mal Shis?
Mal Shis are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. They are fairly easy to train.
