The Chesapeake Bay Retriever descended from two dogs who were saved from an English brig wrecked off the coast of Maryland in Along with the crew and cargo were rescued two St. The dogs were given to people in the local community, and they turned out to be excellent natural retrievers. The two were not bred to each other but were interbred with other dogs in the area, and other outcrosses were made as well, probably with the Otterhound, Flat-Coat Retriever, and Curly-Coated Retriever.
Eventually, this intelligent, powerfully built gundog breed was developed, with his characteristic wavy, straw- to brown-colored coat. The Curly-Coated Retriever is considered to be one of the oldest of all the retriever breeds.
He is thought to be descended from the 16th-century English Water Spaniel, the St. Distinguished by his coat of small, tight, water-resistant, crisp curls, this multipurpose hunting retriever is reliable, robust, and highly intelligent. One of the more independent retriever breeds, the Curly may appear somewhat aloof, but he is always willing to please. The distinctive coat protects these superb retrievers from harsh weather, icy water, and punishing ground cover.
Another breed hallmark is the long head—unique among retrievers—that projects a smart and kindly expression. The Golden Retriever originated in the Scottish Highlands in the late s. He started with the lone yellow puppy he obtained from a litter of black Wavy-Coated Retrievers whelped in southern England in , eventually breeding this dog to a female Tweed Water Spaniel a breed now extinct. Several yellow pups that resulted became the foundation for a distinctive line of very talented yellow retrievers that became known as excellent working dogs.
The Labrador Retriever probably originated not in the area of Labrador, in northeastern Canada, but on the adjacent island of Newfoundland, where going back to the s, fishermen worked with sturdy, eager-to-please, water-loving dogs who helped haul in lines and nets and retrieved fish that fell off of hooks.
As more people settled in the St. Do you have some insight or information you could share? Does the size of the female Poppy is petite effect the litter size? My job as a breeder keeper is to take care of the litter.
We are partnered with a breeder that updates all health certifications, chooses studs, and handles the insemination. When I worked in rescue I had a Chihuahua mix litter that had only 1 puppy.
I also had a German Shepherd mix litter with 7 puppies. She has 8 healthy pups, 4 males and 4 females. I have been weighing them every week since they were born April 13, Week No. Week 2: 1. Week 3: 1. Week 4: 1. Week 5: 2. Compared with the 1st litter, these puppies are way much bigger and heavier. The 1st litter had a different father. He was small, probably a runt of the litter. He sired 12 puppies but 4 of them did not survive: 2 puppies died because the mom accidentally crushed them when she laid down to sleep, one was a stillborn which came out the following day, and one was the runt of the litter and lasted for 2 weeks only.
I hope this info helps and that we are raising them right. We are giving them a good dog food and puppy milk replacement. I should have more together over the next week.
How big are mom and dad? Our main concern was making sure each puppy gained weight each day. Since we only had 6 in our litter there seemed to be an ample amount of milk. Thanks for all of your information. We are bringing home another Golden Retriever puppy in 2 weeks!
I have been reminded of several things and also learned some new stuff from your website as well. Thanks for posting and I loved the pics of the newborn Goldens!! Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned! What an awesome idea for a post series! I have a Golden Retriever mix that ended up growing to be 90 lbs, I wish I had a photo journal of his growth from birth. These are some amazing photos! I love the photo with mama.
When I got her at 8 weeks she was 8 lb. And, ever time I took her to the vets she doubled in size. She topped out at 75 lbs. My Jack Russell was just under 2 lbs when I got her at 8 weeks. Did your puppy come from a large litter? Such a nice post you wrote!!! Golden Retriever are my most favorite puppies!!! Thanks for sharing:. Golden puppies are super cute…although the early pics not so much. Flat-coated retrievers are usually quick to train , but they don't reach full maturity until 3 to 5 years old.
They're known as the "Peter Pan" of retrievers because they seem never to grow up, showcasing their puppy ways into old age. Coat and Color: Moderate length coat that lies flat; comes in solid black or brown. The curly-coated retriever is the oldest of the retriever breeds.
It first appeared in the late s. Their coat, either black or liver, consists of tight, waterproof curls. Unlike other retrievers, the curly-coated type features a tapered, wedge-shaped head. Although this type of retriever is friendly and playful with loved ones, they're more independent than other varieties and a little less friendly to strangers. Curly-coated retrievers reportedly descended from two extinct dog breeds, the English water spaniel and the retrieving setter.
Some suspect that the distinctive, low-shedding curls may come from a cross with poodles too. Coat and Color: Short, tight curls lying close to the body; solid black or liver. The Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever is the smallest of the retrievers.
The tolling retriever requires weekly brushing most of the year and daily brushing during the shedding season because of its double coat, This retriever was bred in Nova Scotia.

Dogs that are harder to train, seem more aloof or stubborn, and are the exact opposite of retrievers. These dogs aren't "bad," they're just more independent like spitz breeds , and in most cases, some of the smartest dogs since they seem to have a mind of their own.
These dogs include Akitas , shiba inus , and chow chows. Another characteristic that's indicative of retrievers is their soft mouth or gentle bite.
