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.

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.

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.

Read more about Poodles at the American Kennel Club and The Poodle Club of America.

Pomeranian

Most dog breeds were bred to perform functions for humans. Some are herders, some are trackers, some haul cargo and some stand guard. Many breeds have heroic storied pasts that have enamored them to their owners or even saved their’s, or other’s, lives.

Then there’s the Pomeranian.
Vital hunting dog? …no. Tracking prowess?…nil. Cargo capacity?…none. Famous feats of daring-do?…not happening. There’s some props given for their guarding skills, but seriously, probably not many criminals are sweating a first line of defense that is a 5 pound fur ball.

In fact, if you take them outside, you have to guard the Pomeranian. Larger dogs can hurt them and birds of prey might mistake them for a squirrel or rabbit. Nope, “Poms” are all about hanging at home with the pack.

That’s not to say they’re lazy. Pomeranian’s love to play and are very athletic. Poms are also highly intelligent, great with kids and easily trainable excelling at performing tricks which have made many stand out as tremendous therapy dogs.

Trainability: B-
Pomeranian’s are very intelligent and easily trainable. While housebreaking can be challenging, patience and consistency should win the day. It’s suggested to restrict Pomeranians from jumping on furniture. While less problematic when younger, an older Pomeranian could sustain serious injury jumping off couches and chairs.

A Bernedoodle sitting obediently during training

Murphy is a Bernadoodle from Dublin, Ohio and our first 2021 graduate of the Homestead Dogs 2-week Overnight Basic Puppy Socialization and Obedience Training Camp. Nice work Murphy!

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.

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.

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.

Read more about the Poodle at the American Kennel Club and The Poodle Club of America.

Bernese Mountain Dog

Feel the Bern.

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.

A close up on the face of a Great Dane

Bush is a Great Dane from Dublin, Ohio and is a graduate of the 2-week Basic Dog Obedience Training Day Camp. Booyah, Bush!

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 excursions and effective guard dogs. They were also effective in military and police operations as formidable and fearless fighters.

The Great Dane has a confirmed existence 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.

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.
