Buying a Puppy for the Holidays
With the winter holidays rapidly
approaching, finding the perfect gift
is always a challenge. With a puppy
topping this year’s Christmas list, what
could be more endearing than watching
a loved one find the puppy that they’ve
longed for under the tree on Christmas
morning? If this holiday fantasy
appeals to you, consider taking on the
responsibility of caring for a puppy. It
is quite an endeavor, and the stress of
the holidays can make this task all the
more overwhelming, however, with the
proper research this dream may be
closer to reality than you’d imagine.
By researching the breeds you are
interested in, you are sure to find the
ideal addition to your family. There are
hundreds of breeds to chose from, so
there is a perfect puppy for everyone!
Siberian Husky
The key is finding the breed that is
most compatible with your lifestyle.
Active families should consider Terriers
and Retrievers, while more laid back
Shar Pei
families might investigate breeds such
as Shih Tzus or Pugs that were bred
as companion animals. Families with
allergies have several breeds to choose
from, including Bichon Frises, Poodles
and Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers.
It can be difficult during the
hectic holiday season to devote time
to training a new puppy. Consider
having Santa “deliver” your puppy the
week before, so that you can get him
acclimated to your household before
the bustle of the holidays begins.
Shake A Paw can provide you with a
new puppy starter kit prior to delivery
to ease the transition to your home.
Prepare your family for the new arrival
by mapping out a game plan for
feeding, training and caring for your
puppy. Puppies learn from repetition, so
keep your puppy on a set schedule, and
try not to deviate from it. The more
consistent you are, the quicker your
puppy will learn proper behaviors. By
purchasing a training book or DVD to
assist your family, your puppy should
train quickly.
During the cold winter months,
it’s especially important to keep your
young puppy indoors. A puppy’s
immune system is still developing
until approximately 20 weeks of age.
To keep your puppy safe from colds
and illness, Shake A Paw recommends
housebreaking your puppy indoors
until it is consistently 55 degrees or
warmer outside. Winter time means
“wee wee” pads, and a crate for house
training. If used in conjunction, these
tools will facilitate an easy transition to
eliminating outdoors when the weather
is warmer. Crates also double as a
“safe haven” for your puppy, giving
him a refuge when the household gets
too busy. Finally, make sure that your
puppy has plenty of safe teething toys
to occupy him if he cannot go outside to
play. Toys like Nylabones, Booda ropes,
and Kongs will keep your puppy busy.
If you are prepared to bring a
loving companion into your home at
this time, Shake A Paw has compiled
information on 36 breeds, to help you
begin your research. Look inside to
find out a little bit about Shake A Paw’s
most popular breeds!

Great Breeds
LABRADOR RETRIEVER: The
American Kennel Club’s most popular
breed, the Lab truly deserves his rank
as the number one family dog. Labs
are gentle with children, intelligent
and obedient, and will even serve as
a watch dog. A well trained Lab is
playful outdoors and calm indoors.
These 60 to 85 pound dogs come in
yellow, chocolate and black. Take one
home today and you’ll want one in
every color!
SHIH TZU: With a fun loving and
comical demeanor, the Shih Tzu is
the epitome of unconditional love. A
playful children’s companion, the Shih
Tzu weighs 10-16 pounds. Shih Tzus
benefit from consistent training, and
are agreeable and eager to please.
Their luxurious coat can be grown
long, or kept short in a “puppy cut”
for easy manageability. With their
easy going nature and non-shedding
coat, it’s easy to see why the Shih Tzu
is our number one selling breed!
BASSET HOUND: With his soulful eyes
and velvety ears, the Basset Hound is
a slow thinker as well as a slow mover.
These low-key layabouts reach an adult
weight of 40 to 60 pounds, but stand
no more than 14 inches tall. These
sensitive hounds respond well to kind
words and gentle training. When called
upon, the Basset’s big voice makes him
a worthy watchdog.
BEAGLE: Affectionate to a fault,
Beagles thrive in homes where
constant companionship is available.
These social hounds appreciate the
company of other dogs, especially if
their human family is away during the
day. By keeping your eager Beagle
busy with training, you can ensure
an adult that is neither vocal nor
stubborn. These adorable puppies
come in two sizes: the 13 inch Beagle
grows to 20 pounds; and the 15 inch
may exceed 30 pounds.
PUG: Good natured and playful, Pugs
make friends everywhere they go.
This sturdy character should maintain
a healthy weight of 14 to 20 pounds,
as they are prone to over-eating.
Although they enjoy the outdoors,
Pugs do not thrive in hot or humid
weather. These comedians snort and
snore to show their zest for life. Pug
owners will agree, “Pugs are like
potato chips, you can’t have just one!”
GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The Golden
is everyone’s friend, and is known for
being a loyal, obedient, and devoted
family member. Well rounded
Goldens benefits from both mental
stimulation and physical exercise
daily. Goldens excel at obedience and
enjoy a variety of outdoor activities
to focus their enthusiasm. At 55 to
85 pounds, the Golden Retriever’s
mid-length coat requires frequent
brushing to control excessive
shedding. This versatile breed is both
athletic enough to compete in the
field and gentle enough to serve as
an assistance dog.

With Children
SHETLAND SHEEPDOG: Often
mistaken for their full sized
counterparts, the Shetland Sheepdog,
or Sheltie, is often referred to as the
Miniature Collie. A small to mid-sized
breed, the Sheltie can range from 15
to 40 pounds. A devoted student, the
Sheltie is extremely bright, however
requires a gentle teacher due to their
sensitive spirit. These active dogs
were bred to herd sheep, although
today’s Sheltie prefers to herd
children! The Sheltie’s adaptability
easily allows it to accept new
members into the family’s “flock”-be
it a new baby or a new pet.
BICHON FRISE: A perfect match for
families with children, the Bichon Frise
is patient and gentle. The Bichon’s
happy-go-lucky outlook endears
him to family and strangers alike.
This lap dog weighs 9 to 16 pounds,
and his non-shedding coat requires
professional maintenance to look its
best. Cute and curly, the Bichon has a
soft, inquisitive expression that is sure
to melt your heart.
MINIATURE SCHNAUZER: When
given their classic hair cut, these
minimally shedding, spirited dogs
resemble little bearded men. This
12 to 18 pound pup enjoys being in
the middle of every activity. They
function as a superb watch dog, and
proper training will ensure a dog that
is not overly vocal. The Miniature
Schnauzer is inquisitive, playful and
alert, and with proper supervision can
make a fine children’s playmate.
BOSTON TERRIER: An American
original, the Boston Terrier is an all
around gentleman. His tight, sleek
coat requires minimal grooming and
produces no doggy odor. Weighing in
at 10 to 25 pounds, the tidy Boston
Terrier is the ultimate apartment dog.
These perky puppies quickly mellow
to charming lap dogs. Because of
their eagerness to please and easy
adaptability to children and other
pets, Bostons are a wonderful choice
for a first time dog owner.
ENGLISH BULLDOG: This compact
couch potato weighs in at 40 to 70
pounds, and he’s a lover not a fighter!
The Bulldog’s pushed in face causes
him to snort, snore and overheat
easily, so he does not thrive in warm
weather. His short coat is easy to
maintain, however his face needs
daily cleaning. This most docile dog
can be stubborn, but correct him
gently so as not to break his spirit.
AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD: This
medium sized herder grows 40 to 60
pounds, and comes in a wide palate
of colors. Always on the go, this
smart dog has a high level of stamina
to go with his industrious work ethic.
If given an outlet for this energy, the
Aussie makes a fine house dog, and
will even be content to serve as a
“nanny” to the neighborhood children.
These courageous companions also
make great watch dogs.

Designer Mixed Breeds
COCKAPOO: The Cocker Spaniel/
Poodle mix is the oldest designer mixed
breed, dating back to the 1950’s. This
moderately shedding mix can grow
from 15 to 30 pounds and comes in a
wide range of coat types and colors.
Cockapoos combine the intelligence
of the Poodle with the popularity of
the Cocker Spaniel to create a lower
shedding companion. These active
pups are typically better suited to older
children, but early socialization may
overcome this obstacle.
LABRADOODLE: A Labrador
Retriever and Standard Poodle mix,
the Labradoodle was introduced in the
1970’s in an attempt to create a lower
shedding service dog. Labradoodles
grow approximately 50 to 80 pounds,
about the size of a pure bred Labrador
Retriever. Labradoodles may come
in any color found in Labs or Poodles,
and coats vary from wiry to curly.
Grooming may be a necessity based
on coat type. Labradoodles are an
active, athletic companion for children
and the outdoorsman alike.
GOLDENDOODLE: The Goldendoodle
combines the Standard Poodle’s
hypo-allergenic coat with the Golden
Retrievers trainability and sweet
temperament. Goldendoodles were
introduced in the 1990’s as a lower
shedding service dog. Adults weigh 50
to 80 pounds, and coats may grow to a
length of 3 to 8 inches and be curly or
wavy. Doodle puppies are affectionate,
social, intelligent and athletic, making
them a wonderful addition to any family.
SCHNOODLE: A Schnoodle is a
mix of a Miniature Schnauzer and a
Miniature Poodle. They grow 10 to
20 pounds and usually sport a wiry
or curly coat that needs periodic
grooming. Allergy sufferers may
benefit from a relationship with these
nominal shedders. Schnoodles are
good with gentle children, eager to
learn, and keenly intelligent. The
affectionate Schnoodle can be a
clever, amusing friend.
PUGGLE: A Pug/Beagle mix, the
Puggle is 15 to 30 pounds full grown.
Usually fawn or black in color, Puggles
have a short, sleek coat that is easy
to care for. Puggles were bred to
negate some of the Pugs breathing
characteristics and mellow the
Beagle’s anxious personality. This
combination produces an adorable,
healthy puppy with a warm,
affectionate personality. The Puggle’s
popularity is due to its comical
attitude and intense love of family.
BOGGLE: The Boggle, a Boston
Terrier/Beagle mix is often mistaken
for a miniature Boxer due to their
brindle or black and white coloring.
Boggles have a tight coat that
requires very little upkeep. They
are 15 to 30 pounds full grown, and
were created following the Puggle’s
enormous popularity. Boggles are
the ultimate children’s pet because
of their playful, energetic nature.
Boggle fanciers get the best of both
breeds in one cute package!

SHIH TZU: With a fun loving and
comical demeanor, the Shih Tzu is
the epitome of unconditional love. A
playful children’s companion, the Shih
Tzu weighs 10-16 pounds. Shih Tzus
benefit from consistent training, and
are agreeable and eager to please.
Their luxurious coat can be grown
long, or kept short in a “puppy cut”
for easy manageability. With their
easy going nature and non-shedding
coat, it’s easy to see why the Shih Tzu
is our number one selling breed!
STANDARD POODLE: The largest
of the non-shedding breeds, the
Standard Poodle stands over 15
inches at the shoulder and weighs 45
to 75 pounds. These athletic dogs
were bred as hunting companions and
water retrievers, and are easily as,
if not more intelligent than Labrador
and Golden Retrievers. A well
socialized Standard Poodle may be
reserved with strangers, but is a fun
loving children’s playmate.
BICHON FRISE: A perfect match for
families with children, the Bichon Frise
is patient and gentle. The Bichon’s
happy-go-lucky outlook endears
him to family and strangers alike.
This lap dog weighs 9 to 16 pounds,
and his non-shedding coat requires
professional maintenance to look its
best. Cute and curly, the Bichon has a
soft, inquisitive expression that is sure
to melt your heart.
TOY AND MINIATURE POODLES:
Intelligent enough to be in the circus,
these peppy little clowns will keep their
owners entertained. Toy Poodles are
less than 10 inches at the shoulder, with
Miniatures standing 10 to 15 inches.
Both sizes can come in a variety of
solid colors; as well as “parti colored”,
which is any combination of two or
more colors. Although Poodles make
a suitable family dog, Miniatures are
usually better with young children than
Toys. The Poodle’s grooming needs are
numerous, but this is offset by their
lack of shedding and doggy odor.
SOFT COATED WHEATEN
TERRIER: Quickly gaining in
popularity, the Wheaten is ideal for
families seeking a mid sized, hypoallergenic dog. This animated teddy
bear is an energetic breed perfect for
those who enjoy outdoor activities.
With an adult weight of 35 to 45
pounds, the Soft Coated Wheaten
Terrier’s size makes him easily
adaptable to either city or country
living. Like most terriers, Wheatens
benefit from firm but kind training
methods to become well mannered
family members.
COTON de TULEAR: These dogs of
nobility hail from Madagascar where
they are cherished for their beautiful,
non-shedding coats. These members
of the Bichon family reach an adult
weight of 10 to 16 pounds. Cotons
catch on quickly and are easily
trained and house broken. They are
affectionate, and enjoy the company
of children and adults alike.

other pets alike. Poms are intelligent,

and sure to steal your heart.

MASTIFF: So you want a BIG dog?
The surprisingly gentle Mastiff is
massive; growing to a height of 27”
to 30” at the shoulder and weighing
140 to 185 pounds! This calm,
easygoing breed does not require a
lot of exercise, but does need plenty
of room to stretch out. Don’t confuse
his slow thinking with stubbornness;
the loyal Mastiff is easily trained by
a strong, gentle handler. If you are
looking for a big dog with a big heart
to match, the Mastiff could be just the
way to super-size your family!
ROTTWEILER: An imposing sight,
an adult Rottweiler’s compact frame
weights 85 to 130 pounds. These
strong, agile dogs were originally
bred to herd cattle, but today’s
Rottweiler is better known for its
abilities as a guard dog. The selfassured Rottweiler is a loyal family
companion, but is often reserved
in the company of strangers.
Because of their protective nature,
the Rottweiler benefits from early
socialization and consistent obedience
training, making them the ideal pet
for the experienced dog owner.
BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG: An adult
Bernese Mountain Dog is a calm, easy
going family companion that weighs 70
to 120 pounds. They are enthusiastic
outdoorsmen that enjoy having a “job”
to do. The “Berner” is noted for his
even temperment and loyalty, and
cannot resist children. Their thick coat
requires weekly brushing, but no other
maintenance. The Bernese Mountain
Dog is mellow in energy and personality,
and is agreeable with other pets.
GERMAN SHEPHERD: Among the
most intelligent breeds, the German
Shepherd is an American icon. Used
as police dogs, search and rescue
dogs, bomb and drug dogs, and
service dogs, the German Shepherd
is a versatile worker. At home,
this 65 to 90 pound dog is utterly
devoted and faithful. Protective of
the family without being aggressive,
the German Shepherd is a great
watch dog. This lively breed excels in
necessary obedience training, and is a
trustworthy children’s companion pet.
BOXER: The muscular Boxer looks
the part of the watchdog with a voice
to match. Appearances, however, can
be deceiving. A Boxer would sooner
lick a stranger than do him harm.
Weighing in at 55 to 85 pounds, the
Boxer sports a shiny coat of fawn or
brindle. These loyal and loving dogs
devote themselves entirely to their
family, be certain you can do the
same for them. Boxers need plenty
of exercise due to their exuberant,
playful demeanor.
BULLMASTIFF: A gentle giant,
the Bullmastiff can weigh 110 to
140 pounds! The Bullmastiff is not
easily alarmed, yet once alerted is
fearless, but not aggressive. Due
to their large size, the Bullmastiff
is not recommended for the novice
dog owner. Bullmastiffs benefit from
early socialization with other dogs, to
ensure harmony later in life. Early
obedience is also key, before the dog
reaches its full size. The Bullmastiff
has an enormous admiration for
children, and bonds closely with every
family member-even the cat!
