Walter is a Bernedoodle from Delaware, Ohio and graduate of Homestead Dogs 2-week Overnight Puppy Socialization and Obedience Training Camp. WOW, Walter!

Bernedoodle

The Bernedoodle is a hybrid mix between a Poodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are not an official AKC-listed breed and considered by some to be a “designer breed”. No puppies are going to be a 50-50 mix in parent traits so there can be some variance in any one Bernedoodle. Just in size alone, the Poodle is available in small, medium and large which will naturally affect the Bernedoodle’s size (10-90 pounds).

They also have levels of Bernedoodles. A Bernedoodle is mixed with a Poodle or a Bernese Mountain Dog to create a 75-25 mix.
No matter how you mix the ingredients, the Bernedoodle is made up of some pretty good canine genes and will end up with a pretty great pup.

Bernese Mountain Dog

Feel the Berne.

Known as the Berner Sennehund in their native Switzerland, Bernese Mountain Dogs have been a utilitarian staple on Swiss dairy farms for over 2000 years. Their descendents were brought in by invading Roman soldiers and over time developed a breed ideally suited for the Bern area farmers.

“Berners” were bred to be intelligent to perform a variety of tasks around the farm, most notably, guard dog and pulling weight, or drafting. With powerful legs and shoulders, Bernese Mountain Dogs have been known to pull many time their own weight.

Their numbers began to diminish once mechanized farming became more popular towards the end of the 19th century. But some good PR efforts by Berner fans brought the breed back and by the beginning of the 20th century had made their way to the United States. Today they rank in the top-25 most popular dogs on the AKC listing.

It’s easy to see why. While Bernese Mountain Dogs can be shy around strangers, they love the humans in their pack. They are famously good and gentle with children but are ready to crank it up a notch when playing with an adult. One job many Berners have been known to enjoy is pulling children around.

Trainability: B-
Bernese Mountain Dogs are smart, affectionate and love to be with and please their humans. They can be prone to separation anxiety and their feelings can get hurt. But if you keep it fun, you’ll have an eager partner in training.

Read more about the Bernese Mountain Dog at the American Kennel Club and the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America.

Poodle

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 destined for luxury with the 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, 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 and available in small, medium and large! (Standard, Miniature and Toy)

While it’s 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.

Sami is an Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-Week Puppy Socialization and Obedience Training Camp Classes. Super, Sami!

Australian Shepherd

Australian Shepherds are tireless, high-energy dogs and are one of the world’s best herding breeds. They are highly intelligent and very responsive to training.

Like French Fries, you might expect the Australian Shepherd to reign from Australia. But, like French Fries, they’re not. The progenitor of the Aussie is the Pyrenean Shepherd. The Pyrenean Shepherd hails from the Pyrenees Mountain region between France and Spain, home to the indigenous Basque people. Escaping centuries of regional conflicts, some Basque found their way to Australia where they crossed their Pyrenean Shepherds with a variety of imported British breeds to enhance their herding capabilities.

On the move again, some Basque found their way to the United States west coast later in the 19th century. California ranchers instantly fell in love with this new breeds’ amazing herding traits and high intelligence…and an assumption they were from Australia. A better name for this breed might have been, the American Shepherd.

Trainability Grade: B

Early socialization and obedience training are tremendously beneficial for the Australian Shepherd. Aussies frequently end up in rescue situations when the dog can’t constructively channel it’s boundless energy. Aussies develop a strong bond to their families and can be territorial and overprotective of their owners and property. They can become destructive if left without companionship for long periods of time. Fortunately, that loyalty combined with keen intelligence makes them very easy to train.

Learn more about Australian Shepherds at the American Kennel Club and The United States Australian Shepherd Association.

Border Collie

After the Romans conquered the British Isles in the first century, they brought their heavy-boned herding canines to manage their herds. Just as Roman influence in the region began to wane, Viking incursions began to spike. The Viking herder-of-choice was a smaller, quicker, spitz-style dog. Soon after, the mix of these two breeds created the highly-intelligent and relentless Border Collie.

Similar to the Australian Cattle Dog, Border Collies come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors and are highly respected for their work ethics and skills. Handlers can rely on their Border Collies to resolve stray cattle on their own even when far from the herd. Not only are they premier herders, they are equally skilled at search-and-rescue, therapy, military, and hunting environments. Likewise, they also have a number of groups working to maintain these amazing working skills.

As with other working dogs, Border Collies have an amazing amount of endurance and energy, which can be challenging in a home environment. They need lots of exercise or a job to do. Lacking that, they may devise a job on their own, and, as you can imagine, any job requiring teeth and claws is typically not good news for the average homeowner.

Trainability: C+
This may be more of a grade about environment than the Border Collie’s ability to learn. They can be loving, loyal pets and are highly intelligent with the added ability to reason on their own. Adapting to a reserved, suburban life, however, might be too much to overcome, particularly if left alone for long stretches during the day.

And even with regular, rigorous exercise, Border Collies love to herd and will try to do so with family members. They aren’t beneath nipping stray (what they consider) cattle in the hindquarters to move them back to the herd. So when grandma starts caning down the hallway by herself…

Beagle

The Beagle could have probably phoned it in for a career. Happy-go-lucky attitude, big droopy ears, big brown eyes and stylish coat. They don’t drool and maintain minimal odor and shedding.

But they have a pretty good career going, too.

Beagles were bred to hunt hares. Some believe they were doing so in England as long as 2000 years ago.

A pack of Beagles were a status symbol for 16th century English hunters. Many prominent English hunters would maintain a pack of larger hounds for tracking deer and the smaller Beagles for hares. As the Beagle spread across the planet, they became the smaller version we’re familiar with today.

This smaller version became popular with foot hunters and the average citizenery as they could easily keep pace with these smaller Beagles. And still do. “Beaglers” in more remote areas of the United States still prefer the nasal capabilities, enthusiasm and musical voice of the Beagle to other hunting dogs.

Trainability: C

Beagles are at their best in an engaged group setting, whether human or animal. They are great family dogs and wonderful with children…if your family has more 17th century traits, like hunting your own dinner. Beagles are high-energy dogs that were bred to work in groups. So they’re comfortable in a family setting, however, they require group exercise and environment.

A lonely Beagle has a nose for trouble. Left alone at home for extended periods can lead to undesirable behaviors. Left alone in the back yard is a recipe for disaster, these little dogs are master escape artists. Invisible fencing is useless unless used as a backup. Fencing must be over 5 feet tall to prevent jumping and climbing with accommodations also needed to prevent tunneling.

Beagles must be leashed when walking. They have amazing nasal senses and an equally amazing desire to track that scent.

You can read more about Beagles at the American Kennel Club and the National Beagle Club.

Frank is a French Bulldog from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-week Basic Dog Obedience Training Camp. Fine work, Frank!

French Bulldog

A rags to riches story.

Most dogs were originally bred to perform certain tasks, whether in sport or livelihood, to aid their human pack members. This doesn’t apply to the French Bulldog. “Frenchies” weren’t bred to have any specific skills. While intelligent and muscularly built, they can’t swim, in fact, bodies of water can be lethal. They commonly have, like many short-nosed breeds, breathing and congestive issues. While prone to obesity, they can over-exert easily, particularly in warmer weather. They don’t even bark much.

Really, the only thing they seem to be good at is being a cute companion. And they do it well. These little charmers rank in at #4 as AKC’s most popular breeds.

The French Bulldog is a descendant of the bigger and badder English Bulldog. The Bulldog was bred to do one thing in life, join a group of other Bulldogs and take on a full grown bull in a life-and-death battle. The Bulldogs were trained to clamp it’s massive, muscular jaws around the bull’s nose and deprive it of air while their humans gambled on the outcome (geez, we’re a disgusting species sometimes).

After 500 years, England finally banned the “sport” and by the mid-19th century, a toy-sized Bulldog began to appear in many English cities. One city in particular, Nottingham (that of Robin Hood fame) had a well established lace industry. When the machines of the Industrial Revolution replaced the workers, many moved to Northern France where their craft was still in demand.

These toy Bulldogs quickly became popular in France. By the time they reached Paris, the traditional Bulldog “rose-ear” had been been mostly bred out and become more bat-like in appearance. They had also adapted particularly well to city-life.

Following the lace industry, the Frenchies found themselves in some of the seamier sides of the city as icebreakers for skittish customers. Within a few years, though, French Bulldogs had worked their way up to the halls of nobility throughout Europe, onto artwork, and then on to the United States before the beginning of the 20th century.

Trainability: B
The French Bulldog is intelligent with a high desire to please that lends itself well to training. Without proper socialization and upbringing, though, French Bulldogs can develop an attitude and display undesirable behaviors that can be difficult to work out.

To learn more about the French Bulldog, visit the American Kennel Club and the French Bulldog Club.

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.

Buoy is a Labrador Retriever from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-week overnight Puppy Obedience and Socialization Training Camp. Booyah, Buoy!

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.

Airedale

Royal Flush
By the mid 19th century, the industrial revolution was in full swing in Great Britain and in the northern part of the country, the Aire Valley was a key component.

One day, a group of workers in the region set out to create a dog “in their own image”. Seemingly, they mixed and matched a buffet of breeds that may have included the Otterhound, English Black & Brown Terrier, Irish Terrier, Bedlington Terrier and perhaps a few other terriers.

Apparently, raising the quantity of small terriers to an exponential level doesn’t result in another small breed, because Airedales are significantly larger than all other terriers…earning them the moniker, the King of Terriers.

The resulting breed was also very intelligent and accumulated a variety of skills that quickly earned them another moniker, “Jack of all Trades”.

In the field, the sturdy Airedale quickly earned fame for their big game, land and water hunting skills. On the farm, they could herd and guard with the best of them. In the home, the loyal Airedale’s are great with kids and family and have a low-maintenance and seemingly low-allergen coat and typically only bark for a good reason. And as for a career, they served with distinction in WWI in the British Armed Forces. They were the first dogs used by police in both Germany and Great Britain. Airedale’s even served 3 terms in the White House with Wilson, Harding and Coolidge.

Trainability: B-

Airedale’s have a lot of energy requiring a good share of exercise. And while great with family and kids, their playfulness mixed with an apparent lack of awareness of their size and strength can be hazardous around young children and vulnerable adults.

Airedale’s are remarkably smart, patient, good natured, and eager to please, so dog and puppy training can be very effective. While providing better spacial awareness skills, dog and puppy obedience and socialization training is always good for building a young puppy into a confident family member.

Dottie is a Shih Tzu and Cocker Spaniel mix from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-Week Overnight Basic Puppy Obedience Training Camp. Dynamite, Dottie!

Shih Tzu

The Shih Tzu (pronounced “sheed-zoo”, BTW) existed for centuries pampered by Chinese emperors, family and staff. Virtually unknown to the outside world, Shih Tzus didn’t emerge from these palace walls until the 1930’s.

Shih Tzus make great family dogs. They’re playful and outgoing and are particularly affectionate with children. Bred to be cute and to warm royal laps, the Shih Tzu requires little exercise and is just as happy competing for your attention…because you weren’t really watching that anyway.

Shih Tzus are generally healthy critters, but with their heavy coats, they do not handle heat very well. They are not very good swimmers, either.

Trainability Grade: C+

Like many breeds, Shih Tzus prefer positive reinforcement training methods. Don’t throw too many things at them, new behaviors and training should be worked in slowly. Maybe, more importantly, be firm. It’s not uncommon for Shih Tzu owners to transition from trainer to trainee.

Learn more about the Shih Tzu at the American Kennel Club and the American Shih Tzu Club.

Cocker Spaniel

Spaniels have been around for quite some time. They are believed to have originated in Spain and, along with the Mastiff, were one of two dogs that came over on the Mayflower. Standards for pure-bred dogs didn’t become a thing in Europe until the early 19th century so, before then, Spaniels were catagorized simply as either land or water Spaniels.

The early standard for Spaniels was if they weighed more than 28 pounds, they were catagorized as a Field, or Springer, Spaniel. Anything under that weight became officially known as a Cocker Spaniel. The term “Cocker” came from their skill hunting the Woodcock bird.

In the United States in 1940’s, Cocker Spaniels were split into two more breeds. Those with a longer head and taller became English Cocker Spaniels while the smaller ones became known as Cocker Spaniels. In 1946, the American Kennel Club officially listed the Cocker Spaniel.

Trainability: C
The Cocker Spaniel is catagorized as a sporting dog and as such is pretty high-energy. They need quite a bit of exercise but are very driven by becoming a great pack member. Cocker Spaniels are very receptive to training and respond well to verbal queues from their handlers. As with most dogs, early training and socialization are the most effective.

Lexie is an American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever mix from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-day Dog Obedience and Socialization Training Camp. Great job, Lexie!

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.

Read more about the Pit Bull at the United Kennel Club and Dog Breed Info.

Labrador Retriever

The planet’s favorite dog, the Labrador Retriever.

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.

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

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

German Shepherd Dog

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.

You can read more about German Shepherds at the American Kennel Club and The German Shepherd Dog Club of America.

Willow is a Catahoula Leopard Dog and Bluetick Coonhound from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs Puppy Training and Socialization Camp. Way to Go, Willow!

Catahoula Leopard Dog

Only from the land of Gumbo.

The Catahoula Leopard Dog has many names, Catahoula Hound, Catahoula Hog Dog, Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog and Catahoula Cur. There’s just as many theories as to its origins.

One consistency is Catahoula, which is a lake in northern Louisiana (although some believe it could have been a translation error derived from the Choctaw tribe of the region). The other consistency is the Native American’s wolf-like canine. One thought is the Spanish crossed their Bloodhounds, Mastiffs and Greyhounds with this wolf-like dog. When the French arrived with their hounds, they were cross-bred again leading to the Catahoula.

Another theory has the American Indians doing the cross-breeding with the newly arrived Greyhounds and Molossers. Yet another had the French mix the Native American’s canine with their Beauceron breed.

No matter how you slice it, the Catahoula Leopard dog is a Louisiana original and remains so to this day, becoming the official state dog in 1979.

Similar to a few other working dogs, the Catahoula is not recognized by the AKC but is by the United Kennel Club. Like those other workers, some felt the AKC’s focus on breed physical appearance could potentially diminish it’s working skills.

Trainability: C+
The Catahoula Leopard Dog is extremely intelligent with an amazing work ethic. While not the most cuddly dog, they love their people and will be fiercely loyal to a gentle, firm-handed owner. However, this dog MUST have a job, or jobs, to do and have plenty of running room. A first-time dog owner who prefers to simply relax after work in their small apartment in a densely packed city is a recipe for disaster.

Read more about the Catahoula Leopard Dog at the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club.

Bluetick Coonhound

Follow Your Nose
This dog was born to hunt with an amazing sense of smell…for better or worse. Whether latching on to a week-old raccoon trail or the Ritz cracker buried under your couch cushion, they will relentlessly pursue its target. Like many coonhound breeds, Blueticks were Made in the USA.

Bluetick Coonhounds trace their lineage to the French Staghound, brought to America in the early 1700’s. Tennessee settlers refined the breed for greater endurance and more acute smelling. The Bluetick was later adopted as the University of Tennessee’s sports mascot.

As the name implies, Bluetick’s were commonly used for hunting raccoons. Hunters would also form Bluetick packs for bears, cougars, boar and other larger prey.

Bluetick Coonhounds are affectionate and highly devoted to its pack members. A well-trained Bluetick is a loyal companion and great with children.

Trainability Grade: C+

The floppy-eared Bluetick Coonhound is affectionate, loyal, very intellegent and cute as beans. They become very focused and single-minded when that nose picks up a scent, though, which can make training a little challenging. Even veteran dog owners experience difficulties with this breed. Housebreaking can also be difficult which is common for hunting breeds.

Blueticks were bred for long-distance hunting so regular, strenuous exercise is needed. Without it, some Blueticks may start to exhibit undesireable traits or even communicate their feelings…very loudly…at inconvenient times.

Blueticks may not do well with other smaller house pets such as cats and rabbits. And secure the gerbils, Blueticks are crafty problem-solvers.

Axel is an English Mastiff puppy from Delaware, Ohio and graduate of Homestead Dogs 2-Week Basic Overnight Puppy Socialization and Obedience Training Camp. Awesome, Axel!

English Mastiff

A Mother of a Dog.

The Mastiff is one of the oldest dog breeds known with references dating back nearly 5000 years and stretching from England to China. Relied on for protection, hunting and hauling materials, the Mastiff has been a valuable resource for many families through the centuries.

Mastiffs have always been good-natured and ultra-loyal to their pack, but, instinctively, are very cautious of strangers. Their protective nature combined with their massive build made them prized with the military, too. Country’s incorporated thousands of Mastiffs into their units during military campaigns.

And just as its tough to keep any military battalion from fraternizing with the locals…so too did the Mastiffs. Virtually every large breed in mountainous southern Europe can attribute it’s bloodline to the Mastiff, as can many other breeds around the globe.

Unfortunately, the world wars about did the Mastiffs in. If they weren’t being killed on the battlefield, many European cities looked down on keeping large animals that would compete with wartime food rations.

Trainability: B-
Mastiffs are eager to please, curious, good-natured and intelligent. They are very protective of their pack which makes them a little skittish around strangers. A little training and preparation usually resolves the issues. Despite their large size, powerful build and categorized as a working breed, Mastiffs don’t require a lot of exercise and is well-suited for apartment living.

Kinnick is a Bernadoodle from Delaware, Ohio and graduate of Homestead Dogs 6-Day Private Dog Training Class. Kool, Kinnick!

Bernadoodle

The Bernadoodle is a hybrid mix between a Poodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are not an official AKC-listed breed and considered by some to be a “designer breed”. No puppies are going to be a 50-50 mix in parent traits so there can be some variance in any one Bernadoodle. Just in size alone, the Poodle is available in small, medium and large which will naturally affect the Bernadoodle’s size (10-90 pounds).

They also have levels of Bernadoodles. A Bernadoodle is mixed with a Poodle or a Bernese Mountain Dog to create a 75-25 mix.
No matter how you mix the ingredients, the Bernadoodle is made up of some pretty good canine genes and will end up with a pretty great pup.

Bernese Mountain Dog

Feel the Bern.

Poodle

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 destined for luxery with the nobles. That would be an underestimation.

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.

Trainability Grade: B

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.

Cosmo is a Newfoundland mix from Delaware, Ohio and a Graduate of Homestead Dogs Basic Dog Training Camp. Cool, Cosmo!

Newfoundland

Canada’s northeastern most province is Newfoundland and Labrador. Labrador is within continental Canada while Newfoundland is a large island off the southeast coast. Two dogs hail from Newfoundland and Labrador, one, the Labrador Retriever, gets all the press and is the planet’s favorite dog. It would be tough for anyone to share the headline with that. The Newfoundland is up to the task.

As with many dog breed names, seems humans put more effort into naming boats than to a species that does so much. The Labrador Retriever originated in Newfoundland and Labrador on the island of Newfoundland. The Newfoundland, naturally, originated in the geographic region of Labrador.

It takes a hearty being to populate the north Atlantic region, particularly working the seas. And for the seafarers of the time, the Newfoundland was a vital teammate. Standing over two feet tall, the Newfoundland can bulk up to a powerful 150 pounds with a slick, oily coat appropriate for the cold, turbulant seas.

Not only was the Newfoundland a mild-tempered and loyal shipmate, they pulled their weight on board…literally. They helped with loading and unloading of cargo as well as lending a tooth to pull in the fish nets.

Newfoundlands are also amazing swimmers. While their coat insulates them from the frigid temperatures, their powerful build and increased lung capacity enable them to endure hours in the seas. Many a sailor owe their lives to Newfoundlands that dove in the water and pulled them to safety.

Trainability: B
These gentle giants love their pack and needs daily interaction. Newfoundlands are smart, affectionate and trusting and a little training and socialization will enable them to grow to a mild-mannered companion.

Cyrano is a Delaware Doberman Pinscher and graduate of Homestead Dogs 1-week Dog Obedience Training Camp. Cool, Cyrano!

Doberman Pinscher

In the waning years of the 19th century, a man in the town of Apolda, in the German state of Thuringia, wore many hats. In addition to his work as a night watchman, he also served as the town dog catcher and dog pound administrator.

While those can be hazardous occupations, his most dangerous job was that of tax collector. After a few run-ins, he determined some protection was needed and he began experimenting with the different breeds in his pound. Starting with the German Pinscher, Weimaraner and Rottweiler, he mixed in a list of other un-documented breeds over the years. Finally, in 1890, Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann had created the perfect protector…the Dobermann Pinscher.

As the breed became more popular, the German word for Terrier, “Pinscher”, became increasingly inappropriate and was dropped from its name in Europe (the United States retains the original name). The breed has gotten a little smaller, more fun-loving, and at some point an “N” was dropped from “Dobermann”, but they haven’t lost much else.

Besides their chiseled physique, Doberman fine-tuned the breed for high intelligence, rapid reflexes, and extreme loyalty. They also have an uncanny ability to detect threats oblivious to their pack mates and will position themselves between the threat and the pack.

These traits became highly valued in police work, search and rescue, and therapy dogs, including a highly distinguished military history.

Trainability: B
The Doberman is highly intelligent, loyal and loves to be in the company of their pack. In addition to exercise, the Doberman also likes mental stimulation, which makes them very trainable. A properly exercised, trained, and socialized Doberman is a delightful addition to the family and has earned the respect of generations of owners around the world. But deep inside, this is one professional dog and they may not do well as a casual family pet. They need a firm alpha presence in the home. If one is not available, they likely will nominate themselves.

You can read more about the Doberman Pinscher at the American Kennel Club and The Doberman Pinscher Club of America.

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.

Bichon Frise

If there was a cute-o-meter for dogs, this breed might break it.

Playful, curious and intelligent, Bichon Frises make great family and city dogs. They feature a plush, all white hypoallergenic coat and easily adapt to other people, children, other dogs and anyone else they can find to perform, play and entertain. Highly alert, Bichon Frises make great little watchdogs.

Generally very healthy, Bichon Frise’s coat, ears and teeth require regular maintenance.

Bichon Frises were another breed with aristocratic roots in southwestern Europe palaces with references dating back to the 13th century. During the French Revolution, many became homeless as opposed to joining their owners at the guillotine. Street entertainers learned to utilize the enthusiastic performers to enhance their routines and would later become equally prized as circus dogs.

Trainability Grade: B-

Highly intelligent, Bichon Frises are not only easily trained, they enjoy learning and performing new tricks. The only training issue they seem to struggle with is house breaking. They do not like to be left alone for long periods of time and undesirable behaviors are commonly associated with separation anxiety.

Learn more about the Bishon Frishe at the American Kennel Club and the Bishon Frishe Club of America.

Poodle

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 destined for luxery with the nobles. That would be an underestimation.

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.

Bernadoodle

The Bernadoodle is a hybid mix between a Poodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are not an official AKC-listed breed and considered by some to be a “designer breed”. No puppies are going to be a 50-50 mix in parent traits so there can be some variance in any one Bernadoodle. Just in size alone, the Poodle is available in small, medium and large which will naturally affect the Bernadoodle’s size (10-90 pounds).

Poodle

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 destined for luxery with the nobles. That would be an underestimation.

Jack Russell Terrier

Will the real Jack Russell please stand?

Officially, the Jack Russell Terrier is not recognized by the American Kennel Club. They wanted to, but were stopped by the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America (JRTCA) that petitioned to maintain the exclusion and preserve the dog’s working skills and heritage.

When a dog breed is listed by AKC, they develop physical characteristics to maintain stringent breed consistency. This is desireable for most breeds, but the Jack Russell Terrier is unique.

Jack Russell’s were originally bred to hunt fox (they were even referred to simultaneously as Fox Terriers). To out-fox a fox, the original breeders worked to enhance the breed’s intelligence and stamina. As they got smarter, handlers found other jobs they could be trained to do and would themselves breed in characteristics to perform the new duties for their individual environments.

What resulted was a highly intelligent, high octane dog that could vary as much as 150% in size, be a kaleidoscope of colors with an equal variety of personalities. When the AKC inquired about listing the breed, JRTCA then stepped in fearing the breed would lose it’s hunting instinct and other skills that were so respected. The AKC agreed, but 20 years later, another attempt was made to list the breed. The AKC developed guidelines, but for a new descendent of the Jack Russells called the Parson Russell Terrier. Another descendent later became simply the Russell Terrier, and is also listed on AKC.

Trainability: C+
This may be more of a grade for the trainer than the trainee. Jack Russells are highly intelligent, but the trainer needs some experience in dog training and handling skills to be successful…and a little patience. Once they get it, though, Jack Russells will want to do it all day and with you. They’ve been known to be trained a skill only to later figure out a different, and better, way to perform it.

Jack Russells are very high energy, to the point of being referred to as hyperactive, and need an outlet. This can be challenging in a suburban or city environment. Leaving them in a fenced-in back yard is not suggested. They’re designed to out-smart foxes, so a cute picket fence really doesn’t stand a chance.

You can read more about Jack Russell Terriers at the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America.

Reese is a Bull Terrier from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-Week Dog Obedience Training Camp. Rock on, Reese!

Bull Terrier

The British used to have the rather gruesome form of entertainment called bull-baiting. A pack of Bulldogs were pitted against a large bull while gambling on the outcome. While they finally outlawed the practice in the early 19th century, those committed to the blood sport just changed tactics.

Since it’s tough to move a bull underground, they simply pit the dogs against themselves. Bulldogs were commonly used for bull-baiting, but, apparently, they were less entertaining without the bull. They began experimenting by mixing their Bulldogs with a variety of more spirited terriers. One of the favored breeds that came out of this was the Bull Terrier.

The British eventually outlawed dog fighting, too. It was then they figured out they had created, like many of these “fighter breeds”, a pretty darn good dog. Not only were they highly loyal, they excelled at agility sports and are accomplished in bomb detection, search-and-rescue and therapy dogs…and were entertaining in their own right.

Trainability: B
Bull Terriers love activities with their humans and perform well in positive, fun training. In fact, if it’s not fun, your Bull Terrier just may not be interested.

Labradoodle

Doodling in the Lab

In the 1980’s, a guide dog breeder in Australia received a request from a blind woman in Hawaii. Labrador Retrievers are a natural and common guide dog given their loyalty, trainability and pleasing disposition with humans, children and other animals. But the woman’s husband was allergic to Labrador Retrievers.

The breeders original attempts revolved around poodles since their non-shedding coats were more tolerable to people with allergies. Unsuccessful, he finally crossed the poodle with a Labrador Retriever. While technically not hypoallergenic, the husband could tolerate this new hybrid breed and they adopted one of the pups.

Meanwhile, there were two other pups still in the litter and he was having difficulty finding homes for them since they “crossbreeds”. With a little re-branding effort, he coined the name Labradoodle, and a star was born.

Soon, requests from around the globe came in for these adorable “designer” dogs. Their popularity skyrocketed and other breeders joined in and began to breed not just Labradoodles, but other varieties of “Doodles”.

In the United States, breeders simply kept mixing Poodles and Retrievers to keep up with demand (and keep the money coming in). This has led to inconsistancies in the litters and has kept them off the AKC breed listing. Labradoodles in the United States can vary widely in size, color, shape, size and personality. In Australia, however, an effort was sustained to maintain and develop some breed standards and today Australian Labradoodles are considered pure-bred canines in Australia.

Labrador Retriever

The planet’s favorite dog, the Labrador Retriever.

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.

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

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, the Labrador Club There is also a local chapter at The Central Ohio Labrador Retriever Club.

Poodle

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 destined for luxury with the nobles. That would be an underestimation.

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.

Captain is a German Shorthaired Pointer from Delaware, Ohio and a graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-Week Overnight Basic Dog Obedience Training Camp. Aye Aye Captain!

German Shorthaired Pointer

Pointer Perfect

Germany has a long tradition in dog breeding. Some consider the German Shorthaired Pointer as perhaps their finest creation.

One set of 19th century breeders set out to produce the premiere all-purpose hunting dog. Initially intended for bird hunting, the intelligent and adaptable Pointer easily transitioned to other prey as well including, rabbit, possum, raccoon and deer.

And they didn’t just point. Hunters highly prized the dog’s sturdy, yet quick, build, their nighttime abilities and amazing endurance. With webbed paws and excellent swimming ability, the Pointer was a spectacular retriever on land or water. And when the day was done, the German Shorthaired Pointer was a great watchdog and family companion.

Trainability: C+
German Shorthaired Pointer’s are highly intelligent canines that usually catch on quick. But they need something to do. This is not a breed that will phone-it-in for a casual suburban lifestyle, they require an active lifestyle with lots of exercise. They can be a little challenging up to three years in age so early socialization and training can be a great benefit.

Australian Cattle Dog

Some of the dog breed names can be real head-scratchers. While a little boring and lacking in marketing appeal, this breed name is spot on.

Just as in the United States, Early 19th century European “Settlers” began to migrate westward to the Australian continent’s interior and found it ideal for raising cattle. A good working dog was in order. But, while the US interior can have challenging weather, the Australian interior can be down-right brutal for man, plant and beast.

These migrants brought their English herding dogs, Smithfields, but they were unable to adapt to the extreme weather and terrain. To boost the dog’s durability, the Smithfields were crossed with other breeds, most notably Dingos, a breed originally brought to Australia by its earliest human inhabitants, but had since formed packs and existed successfully in the wild for centuries.

While a better combination was later found using Dingos and Collies, decendents from this pairing were mixed with Dalmations to develop a breed that was more loyal and comfortable around horses. While close, ranch hands noticed a drop in this latest creations’ working ability. Finally, a dog with a respected work ethic, the Australian Kelpie, was worked into the mix to create the Australian Cattle Dog we know today.

Trainability: B

The Australian Cattle Dog is highly intelligent and a loyal pack member, but this breed is extremely high-energy and was born to work. A walk around the block won’t cut it with these dogs, they need a highly intensive workout with agility or sporting events being great options. They can be a great family pet, but be prepared to spend time with them.

You can read more about the Australian Cattle Dog at the American Kennel Club, the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America and the United Kennel Club.

Jack Russell Terrier

Will the real Jack Russell please stand?

When a dog breed is listed by AKC, they develop physical characteristics to maintain stringent breed consistency. This is desireable for most breeds, but the Jack Russell Terrier is unique.

You can read more about Jack Russell Terriers at the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America.

Some of the information used for the dog breed descriptions was gathered from the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America and the Jack Russell Lover website.

Scooby is a Great Dane from Delaware, Ohio and is a graduate of the 2-week Basic Dog Obedience Training Day Camp. That deserves a Scooby snack.

Great Dane

The Great Dane presents the appearance of powerful regality. It’s muscular, chiseled form added to it’s great size is impressive as much as it is intimidating. While the Dane towers over all but one other canine, it’s heart is even bigger.

For reasons unknown, Great Dane implies a relationship to Denmark. But like many breeds, Danes trace their origins to Germany. It’s believed they were bred to hunt wild boar but were also used for other hunting excusions and effective guard dogs. They were also effective in military and police operations as formidable and fearless fighters.

The Great Dane has a confirmed existance of over 400 years with potential references dating back 8-900 years. Over this time they’ve accumulated a few names. In Germany, they’re known as Deutsche Dog, or German Dog; Latin languages referred to them as dogue or dogo; Dogge was the name in Germanic languages while England called them Mastiffs. There’s two names credited to France, Dogue Allemand, or German Mastiff, and Grand Danois. The United States got Great Dane from the English translation of Grand Danois, which in France means “Big Danish”.

Trainability: B
Great Danes have a wonderful personality and are eager to be a great pack member. Their sheer size, however, can be an issue. Direct contact with a human is a sign of affection but when something the size of a college linebacker leans into you or attempts to fit its frame within your, or a visitor’s, lap, that can present some challenges. Danes also have a tendency to pull or break from walks after catching a scent. Pack leaders must be prepared to stop a linebacker with 4-wheel-drive.

Read more information about Great Danes at The American Kennel Club and The Great Dane Club of America.
