Labradoodle's


The origin of the Labradoodle started with a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle. In Australia they began adding other breeds to that cross, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, and Curly Coat Retriever. American Labradoodle's are typically just Lab and Poodle, and can be F1's (First cross 50/50) F1b's (F1 crossed back to a poodle) Or a mulit generation (labradoodle bred to labradoodle). Both American and Australian Labradoodles are smart, personable, trainable, active, and make wonderful family pets. It all starts with the good health, and temperaments of the parents. The Labradoodle longs for human contact, and becomes a very close family member quickly! Their unique traits of an intuitive nature, and the seeking of human eye contact should be easily noticed at a glance. Which is why Labradoodle's are usually easy to train. Their allergy friendly coats make them popular among people who have not been able to enjoy pets because of their allergies. Coat type is extremely important when choosing an allergy friendly puppy or adult!

Labradoodle's are Great pets for runners looking for a jogging partner!! Great family pets, friendly and loving. Great for the active family that wants to take their dog everywhere with them. The Labradoodle is very intelligent, and you must remember they need physical activity but also a lot of interaction, and leadership. They need to keep their minds busy too! A bored Labradoodle is a mischevious Labradoodle. If you are thinking about getting a Labradoodle or any dog, the entire household must be committed

Labradoodle coats can vary. Flat and straight , wispy and thinner are easy to maintain but will shed. These types of coats usually have low shedding, and are not the best choice for allergy sufferer's. Coat types that do not shed are always your best choice if you do not want fur around your home, or if you have allergies within the household. Coats that do not shed can be wolly, curly, shaggy, or fluffy, silky soft or cotton soft. Coats like these require a lot of grooming. Being clipped is common, every 6-12 weeks, depending on how much you want to comb and brush.
