Goldendoodle

Following the success and popularity of the Labradoodle in the ’90’s, breeders began experimenting with other breeds to mix with the Poodle. The Poodle’s low-allergen, low-shedding coats, high-intelligence and playful temperment provide desireable traits to any mix. The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dogs on the planet. Both breeds commonly finish in the top-5 for intelligence making for not just a super pet but also a wonderful service dog. Over time, breeders have mixed the Retrievers with the various sizes of Poodles creating large, medium, small and extra small variations of the Goldendoodle for virtually any lifestyle.

Read more about the Goldendoodle at the Goldendoodle Association of North America.

Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dogs in the United States. Outgoing and eager-to-please, the Golden Retriever is a great family dog that loves to play and maintains a puppy-ness well into adulthood (a trait also common in human males).

Golden Retrievers were first bred in Scotland as a hunting dog better suited to the regional rugged terrain. The breeder crossed a Yellow Retriever with the now-extinct Tweed Water Spaniel with some Irish Setter and Bloodhound mixed in. When Golden Retrievers first appeared at a British Dog Show in 1908, hunters loved the dogs utility and stamina, show dog enthusiasts loved their natural beauty, and everyone loved their sweet temperament.

As a sports dog, Golden Retrievers love lots of activity and make great bike, hike and run companions.

Trainability Grade: B+

Golden Retrievers live to please their owners, are outgoing and extremely loyal making Goldens very trainable.

Poodle (Standard)

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

With its regal appearance and fancy hairdo, at first glance the Poodle appears to be the breed for nobles.

That would be an underestimation.

Commonly associated with France (it is their national dog!), the Poodle lineage began over 400 years ago as a retrieving water dog in Germany. The Poodle is very athletic, is an amazing swimmer, super-smart and has an acute sense of smell. It is the only non-sporting dog eligible for the AKC Retriever Hunting Tests.

While its looks imply a super-model style regimen, the regal look has a purpose. The German duck hunters established this style to accentuate its natural swimming abilities. The legs, neck and tail were shaved for greater range of movement in the water. Un-shaved areas were meant to protect vital joints and organs from inclement weather.

Trainability Grade: B+

Eager to please and highly intelligent, Poodles are easily trained. Poodles love learning new things and enjoy agility, obedience and tracking exercises.

Labrador Retriever

The planet’s favorite dog, the Labrador Retriever.

Not only are they tops in the United States, they’re the favorite breed of Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. Labrador Retriever’s are also prized as guide dogs, search and rescue, assisted living, therapy dogs and contraband detection.

Of course, the most popular gets the best press. Labrador Retrievers were the first dog to appear on the cover of Life Magazine and a United States Postal Service stamp.

But the Labrador Retriever isn’t just a pretty face. Labs were originally bred to be aquatic duck retrievers and ship mates for sailors on the cold, icy island of Newfoundland (technically, I think, the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador).

Their coat was ideally refined to restrict ice formation. Their iconic tail actually serves as a sturdy rudder for improved agility in the water.

Yet, one of their other top-5 favorite traits is the Lab’s unrivaled temperment. The fun-loving, easy-going, highly intelligent Retrievers just want to be everybody’s friend, man or beast. But despite this outward appearance, the Lab is a bundle of energy on the inside.

This sturdy breed was bred to be a worker in a rough land and they need an energy release and be included in family activities. Without enough exercise, a Lab can display undesireable and destructive behavior.

Trainability: A-
Labrador Retrievers have nearly an unmatched desire to please and become a fun-loving member of the family…uh, pack.

Read more about Labrador Retrievers at the American Kennel Club and the Labrador Club. There is also a local chapter at The Central Ohio Labrador Retriever Club.

A Pembroke Welsh Corgi sitting during training

Nala is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and American Pit Bull Terrier mix from Marion, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-week Overnight Dog Obedience and Socialization Training Camp. Nice, Nala!

Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Brothers from different Mothers.

The Welsh Corgi is believed to be one of the oldest dogs known to the British Isles. But there’s two of them, The Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Both are short, stalky, powerful breeds built for herding. They have similar names, came about in the same general time and place, and, for a time, were commonly interbred.

Both are highly intelligent breeds that work all day, are eager to please and happiest with their family.

Yet they are completely separate breeds. While the Cardigan is more closely related to the Dachshund, the Pembroke has Keeshone, Schipperke, Chow-Chow, Finnish Spitz and Norwegian Elkhound in it’s bloodline.

Trainability: B
As a herder, Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s sometimes have a mind of their own, but they are energetic and eager to please.

Read more about the Pembroke Welsh Corgi at the American Kennel Club and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America.

American Pit Bull Terrier

A dog with an identity crisis…and they don’t care.

The American Pit Bull Terrier, or Pitbull, or Pit Bull Terrier, or Pit Terrier, or Pit Bull, or American Bull Terrier. They also take “Pitties”, Pit, Half-and-Half, Bull Baiter Dogs, Old Family Dog, Yankee Terrier and Rebel Terrier (well, maybe not this year).

Likewise, national and international dog registries vary on categorizing this breed. The Pit Bull is commonly mistaken with the American Staffordshire Terrier. The American Kennel Club and Continental Kennel Club do not recognize the breed. The United Kennel Club (UKC), however, lists the Pit Bull as dog #1 on it’s registry and the UKC is reported to have started as an organization because the AKC dissed the Pit Bull.

Pit Bulls can’t even get good press. While commonly fingered for other breeds, or mixed breeds, mis-deeds, some bad pack leaders take advantage of the Pit Bull’s exceptional skills for dog-fighting purposes, some of which make national news.

That’s a shame. In addition to their versatility, Pit Bulls make tremendous family pets that are eager to please, fun-loving and great with children. In fact, the UKC states the Pit Bull may not be the best guard dog choice as they are extremely friendly and highly unlikely to show aggression towards humans.

Trainability: B
Pit Bulls are highly intelligent, eager to please and responsive to training. They are a high-energy dog with an instinct to chase after any species that’s not human. This can be problematic on walks or in other social settings. But with lots of exercise and a little training, they make a fine addition to the pack.

A German Shepherd Dog mix sitting obediently during training

Louie is a German Shepherd Dog mix from Plain City, Ohio and graduate of Homestead Dogs 2-week Overnight Basic Dog Obedience Training Camp. Like, WOW, Louie!

German Shepherd

This is one professional dog.

Around the world, German Shepherds are considered the premiere versatile worker. Bred to be the ultimate herding canine, they quickly became adept at an amazingly wide range of tasks.

At the end of the 19th century, Germany had many different breeds of herding dogs. A couple breeders began coalescing these different breeds into the ultimate herding dog and resulted in one of the most intelligent and loyal breeds of canine. German Shepherds have been seen doing everything between family pet to police and military operations, service and guard dog, tracking, movies, and, of course, herding.

Their popularity dropped after the World Wars with the stigma of having “German” in their name. Alternately, Great Britain, unwilling to abandon such a wonderful specimen, simply renamed them to Alsatian, which is still referred to today.

German Shepherd’s are extremely loyal and eager to please, but aren’t necessarily the most affectionate dogs. They have a high energy and high intelligence that need a consistent outlet with plenty of exercise. Lacking this outlet, some German Sheperds can become restless and display undesireable, and even dangerous, behaviors.

Trainability: B
German Shepherds love to learn, love to please and are very adept at training efforts. They excel at learning new jobs.
