Responsible breeders know that two puppies at a time isn’t what’s best for the puppies and the pup-parents.

Littermate syndrome is a behavioral condition that can occur when two or more puppies from the same litter (or even unrelated puppies of similar ages) are raised together without enough individual socialization and training. Puppies with littermate syndrome often form an unhealthy bond with each other, leading to several issues, such as:

1. Over-dependence on each other: The puppies rely too much on each other for comfort and interaction, often leading to anxiety when they are separated.

2. Fearfulness: The puppies may become more fearful of new environments, people, and dogs because they primarily interact with each other.

3. Aggression: There can be increased sibling rivalry, which may escalate into aggressive behaviors.

4. Delayed development: The puppies may have delayed social, emotional, and cognitive development because they do not learn to interact with humans or other dogs in a healthy, independent way.

It’s about to hit 102 degrees here today so we thought it would be an appropriate time to cover this common question (don’t worry, all of our dogs are enjoying the recently upgraded air conditioning). ☀️

It’s no secret Golden Mountain Dogs enjoy in cool climates. But can they handle hot ones? 🥵

The short answer is yes. Read the slides above for our most common tips on how to deal with the summer heat in hot climates 🏜️

But don’t just take it from us. Pearl, the GMD in the first and last slide, is a 2 year old GMD from us that lives in the desert of Arizona. We asked Pearl’s dad Tom if he would share how he handles the summer heat. He was kind enough to share:

“Pearl has done just fine in the warmer weather. Of course she loved the winter, and few inches of snow that we had. We wanted to continue keeping her active year-round (lots of hiking in the cooler temps...) to burn off her puppy energy (which she still has... She’s quite attached to the several balls that she has in her toy box!) so we walk between 3 to 4 miles a couple times a week, and take her to the park the other days... But we do it early, before the heat sets in (5:30 a.m.). Then we take an evening short walk, up to our mailbox (she carries the mail home...)after sunset, about 7:30-8 p.m. We don’t go outside too much when it’s above 90 degrees, but sometimes she will go out and lay in the sun for several minutes. We keep three bowls around the house, filled with clean water and she keeps herself hydrated. The inside a/c is set between 76-78 and she’s acclimated quite well to the schedule. I’m sure we will be back on the trails once the heat breaks (can’t believe how many people have died in AZ and Utah this year, hiking in the extreme heat... ). I don’t see any reason this breed would have an issue in the warmer climates as long as the owners practice some common sense. She has done just fine being a black dog in the desert! Hope this helps...”

Also note the stylish booties to keep her paws safe 🐾

Thank you Tom!

Lick the heat! 👅🔥 Boy am I glad we got all those improved AC’s installed this year.

1. Provide Plenty of Fresh Water: Ensure your dog has access to clean, cool water at all times. Consider placing multiple water bowls around your home and yard.

2. Create Shade: If your dog spends time outside, make sure there are shaded areas where they can escape the sun. Use umbrellas, canopies, or trees to provide natural shade.

3. Limit Exercise During Peak Heat: Avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day. Walk your dog early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler.

4. Use Cooling Mats or Towels: Provide your dog with cooling mats or damp, cool towels to lie on. These can help lower their body temperature.

5. Never Leave Your Dog in a Parked Car: Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a car can rise rapidly and become deadly. Always take your dog with you or leave them at home.

6. Provide a Kiddie Pool: A shallow kiddie pool filled with cool water can be a fun and effective way for your dog to cool off. Make sure the water is refreshed regularly. We actually use rubber livestock troughs which are a little more resilient.

7. Use Fans or Air Conditioning: If your dog is indoors, make sure they have access to fans or air-conditioned rooms. A cool, well-ventilated space can help them stay comfortable and prevent overheating.
