iLoveSchnoodles.comThe Schnoodle Cross Breed Dog, Hypo Allergenic and Intelligent

Obviously in the last few weeks we have featured a couple of litters of Schnoodle puppies available in the UK from experienced breeders and all have now gone to their forever homes.

New Puppy

I know myself when I have got any of my dogs as new puppies in the past I have been like a ‘new mum’ and have made myself a checklist of all of the items I needed, right down to a new bed.

Getting a puppy is one of the most exciting times I have personally experienced, almost as exciting as having your ‘human baby’. Bringing home that lovely cuddly bundle of joy and excitement is awesome.

So where do you start, what do you need in your Luxury Puppy Bed Starter Pack Well, to start off with, a soft, draft free bed, a food bowl, a water bowl, a lead or leash, a collar or soft harness and some suitable toys, specifically designed for puppies.

When arriving home I have heard and experienced an unsettled night where the pup pines for its Mum and litter mates, this can be overcome by putting on a radio, quiet volume, or by wrapping a ticking clock in a towel or pillowslip and popping it in next to the pup along with a ‘warm’ hot water bottle.;

Alternatively you could buy a Fleece Heartbeat Pillow and slip it in with the puppy into their bed, also available is a Microwaveable Puppy Cuddle cushion

One of the most recent developments for puppy owners is the disposable puppy pads.  Unlike days gone by when the floor would be covered in old newspapers cleared away when they got soiled. Puppy Training Pads are a great tool for the new puppy and they quickly get accustomed to using the pad, impregnated with a scent to encourage the pup to use them.

Finally, I would highly recommend the book by Ian Dunbar Before and after Getting Your Puppy: The Positive Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy, and Well-Behaved Dog for the new puppy owner

Other items you may be interested in for your new puppy include Foldable Travel Puppy Crate, Puppy Teething Rings, Puppy Training Treats

The Schnoodle Nightly Walk

I don’t know if you are like me but I dread the nights getting shorter purely for the impact it has on the number of dog walking time available.

Woody, my beloved Schnoodle, will not go to the toilet in our garden, good for us but it means whenever he wants to relieve himself we HAVE to go out.

Fortunately we live just 100 yards from the beach and about 10 yards from a huge green space, used mainly as a cricket pitch.

I also don’t know where the time has flown by this year and already I am thinking about the end of this year start of the new year.

Now is the time I start to get my new year calendars and diary so that I can keep everything entered and up to date.

I found this fantastic Schnoodle Calendar on Amazon and it is a must for me

Order your’s too before they all rush off the shelf.

Apricot and White Schnoodle

We advertised a litter of White and Apricot Schnoodle Pups for the delightful breeder, Karen.

How much do you love your Schnoodle?

i Love My Schnoodle

A recent survey reported that 6 out 10 dog owners sleep with their dogs on or in their beds.  Are you one of those 6 or are you 1 of the 4 who would never consider it.

I am part of a large community of dog walkers who meet in the morning on the beach to exercise our beloved pets and each one is as precious to their owners as a child.  What fascinates me is the many varied reasons why the owners chose to get a dog or how a dog came into their lives.

WORSHIPED BY THE EGYPTIANS

Egyptians and Their Dogs

To the ancient Egyptians dogs were much more than either assistants in the chase or household pets. They were objects of veneration and worship. They appear in the friezes of the temples and were regarded as divine emblems.

Herodotus tells us that when a dog belonging to an Egyptian family died, the members of the household shaved themselves as an expression of their grief, and adds that this was the custom in his own day. Read the rest of this entry »

The Poodle Dog

The Poodle is one half of the Schnoodle

Poodles are one of the most intelligent breeds in existence  The Poodle lends itself especially to becoming a pet or companion, soon becoming warmly attached to its owner, very quick at learning what is required of it, and very smart and vigilant as a guard.

All who have kept any of them will know they are full of merit, good tempered as a rule, born humourists, fond of children, grand swimmers, excellent guards, and very affectionate and faithful to their owners and friends. A very high authority, both as a breeder, exhibitor and judge, has set out the points of a correct Poodle as follows : head long, straight and fine ; skull rather narrow and peaked at back, very slight “stop;” long, strong and fine jaw, not full in cheek; teeth white and level; lips black and rather tight fitting; gums and roof of mouth black ; nose sharp and black ; eyes very dark brown, full of fire and intelligence, nearly almond shaped, leather of ears long and wide, hanging close to

face; well proportioned neck of fair length and strength; strong muscular shoulders, sloping well to back; deep and moderately wide chest; short, strong, slightly curved back ; broad muscular loins ; ribs well sprung and braced up; small round feet, toes well arched, pads thick and hard ; well set, straight legs, with plenty of bone and muscle ; hind legs very muscular and well bent, hocks well let down, tail not curled over back, but carried rather gaily and set on high; coat profuse and of good texture, not silky; if corded, hanging in tight, even cords; if curled, in strong, thick curls, of

even length, without knots or cords. Colours should be self, whites and blacks seem to be the most popular. The general appearance is that of a very active, intelligent and elegant looking dog, stepping out well and carrying himself proudly.

Mixed with the Schnauzer, the poodle creates the increasingly popular Schnoodle

4 week old Schnoodle Pups

Here is an updated photo of the gorgeous schnoodle pups I feature last week.

Karen, the breeder, has sent me this image and advised me that she has taken deposits for 2 of the pups and has other interested people going this week.

I don’t expect these little beauties to be looking for their forever homes for long.

If you are interested in one of the pups then don’t delay in contacting Karen immediately.

Genuine enquiries only, no time-wasters.  Puppies to good homes only

If one of these beauties is the dog for you contact Karen on 07517 195604 

Please note: I am not associated with the breeder and will make no financial gain from featuring these pups.  As always, iLoveSchnoodles.com would highly recommend that you choose a breeder and pup carefully.

4 week old Schnoodle Pups

For those of us that are interested and besotted with the schnoodle cross breed (I am sure I am not alone) I have just had an update from Karen Bailey whose 2 weeks old pups I featured earlier in the week.

Saffron the Schnoodle Mummy

The pups have just opened their eyes for the first time.  As you can see they are growing into little stunners.

Having spoken now to Karen a number of times she has told me that ‘Mummy Schnoodle’ Saffron won 1st prize in her local dog show in 2011 and boy can’t you see why, she is adorable.  Saffron is just gorgeous and if  ‘schnoodle mummy’s’ looks are anything to go by, the pups will be little crackers.

If you are interested in one of the pups, there are 4 girls and 1 boy then don’t delay in contacting Karen immediately.  I don’t think these little sweeties are going to be looking for their ‘forever homes’ for too long.
