About Labradoodles

IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR A DOG TO TO LOVE AND CARE FOR, PLEASE EXPLOIRE DOG SHELTERS PRIOR TO CONSIDERING A LABRADOODLE. THANK YOU.

You may have been wondering, "So what exactly is an Australian Labradoodle?"

A Labradoodle is the result of breeding a Labradoodle (Labrador / Poodle cross) which were initially b red to be service dogs. The Australian Labradoodle can include four other breeds, the Irish Water Spaniel, Curly Coat Retriever, English and American Cocker Spaniels into their lines. These breeds enable the health and amazing knowing, empathetic temperament of the Australian Labradoodle. Intuition These beautiful creatures are known to be intuitive of their owner’s needs, they appear to instinctively sense their emotion. This strong character trait is one of the reasons they make such wonderful service dogs. As pets they love to play, enjoying all sorts of games thriving on attention and making amazing family pets.

Intelligent

Labradoodles are intelligent, healthy dogs with lovable friendly personalities. It is essential that you provide training early on; or they will do their best to outsmart you! Labradoodles are often top of the class in dog training classes, many owners get inspired and take their dogs for further training such as agility, sniffer training, doggy dancing, obedience and trick training as their dogs love the stimulation, time with you and are easily trained.

Non-shedding

The fact that they don't shed their hair is wonderful. I tend to wear dark coloured clothes and dog hair seems to be attracted to the fibres making it impossible to look smart and professional without valuable time spent removing hairs. Labradoodles cut cleaning time as my guys won't shed.

Healthy.

Unfortunately labradores and poodles as breeds are sometimes known to suffer from the inheritable crippling disorders hip and elbow dysplacia. As labradoodles are a result of these two breeds I ensure that prospective breeding dogs are x-rayed for signs of this and only those with exceptional scores are used for breeding purposes. This, together with DNA testing of several genetic diseases ensure that we are doing all we can to provide healthy dogs, as well as developing the health of the breed.

Allergy-friendly

Their unique hypoallergenic qualities are a great bet for allergy victims. Although they are not hypoallergenic (no dog is), they often secrete less dander than most dogs. It is a good idea to groom them at least once a week to prevent matting and clip them a couple of times a year. Labradoodle's coats can be wool, similar to a poodle, or fleece. Both are very soft to touch and should be non shedding.Most labradoodles' love water, they love to swim in pools, lakes, rivers etc. You may find your labradoodle playing in their water bowl or in the sprinkler when you are watering your lawn! If you love the water, the river, beach or pool, these are the dogs for you.
