Sometimes allergies mean that people have to miss out on the fun
of owning a gorgeous dog. If you or one of your family members
suffers from dog allergies but would still like to have a canine
companion then the answer is here! There are certain breeds that
have been identified as hypoallergenic or as suitable for people
with allergies to pet dander.
Usually these dogs have non shedding coats. Unfortunately some of
the most beloved breeds are not non-shedding. The Golden Retriever
and the Labrador are both dogs loved for their temperament and
disposition. Unfortunately not everyone can own these dogs to their
tendency to shed. If you are one such person then you will love
Labradoodle puppies.
Cross Breeding
Labradoodle puppies are gaining popularity because this unique cross
breed has all the wonderful qualities you would want in a dog minus
a coat that sheds. When a Labrador or Golden Retriever is cross bred
with a poodle the resulting puppies have coats that tend to take
after the poodles non-shedding coat.
However if you really want to make sure that your future pet does
not shed at all then look for a Labradoodle puppies that are second
or third generation crosses. Or a puppy that has one first
generation Labradoodle parent and one poodle parent. Your puppy will
have a coat that is great for anyone who cannot tolerate dander.
The appearance of the Labradoodle puppies’ coats will depend on the
parent and what generation they are. A first generation cross can
have the tight curls of the poodle or softer waves. Second or third
generation Labradoodle puppies will have tighter curls if they are
further bred with poodles or other Labradoodles.
Temperament
Besides the beautiful coats and overall adorable appearance of these
dogs you want to make sure that your Labradoodle puppies will grow
into dogs you can love and depend on. Poodles are highly intelligent
and Labradoodle puppies inherit this intelligence, making them easy
to train. The even temper and friendly disposition of the Labrador
means that you will not have a high strung dog, something often
associated with poodles.
However you need to be careful when selecting your Labradoodle
puppies, you need to make sure that the parents of your puppies have
a good temperament. The temperament of the parents will often
determine the temperament of the puppies. This means making sure
that you meet the parents of your prospective puppies. It may seem
unnecessary considering the reputation of both breeds. Remember that
not all dogs will fit a breeds’ stereotype or temperament.
The Right Breeder
The right breeder makes all the difference when you are looking for
Labradoodle puppies. Some unscrupulous breeders are simply cross
breeding poodles and Labradors without doing the proper research. To
ensure that you get great Labradoodle puppies a breeder must make
sure any dogs he or she cross breeds is health and temperament
tested.
Dogs with genetic defects or health problems will produce puppies
with the same problems. If you want a healthy puppy then it is up to
you to make sure you find a reputable breeder. Look at paperwork for
the parents and inspect the breeding premises for yourself. Are the
puppies kept in a clean condition?
Ask questions about multi generation cross breeding. A good breeder
will understand what you are talking about and will be able to
explain the process to you. Some amateur breeders or ‘backyard
breeders’ assume that simply crossing a Labrador and a poodle will
give you Labradoodle puppies. An experienced and well informed
breeder knows that it takes more than one generation of cross
breeding to produce the non-shedding coat that is so prized in the
Labradoodle.
Once you have found the right breeder and feel satisfied that you
are bringing home a quality puppy don’t forget that you are bringing
home an active puppy. Both the Labrador and the poodle love to run
and exercise. Labradoodle puppies are no different, they will want
to play outdoors and have fun with you while running in the
outdoors. Make sure you can make your puppy happy with lots of
activity. These dogs are highly intelligent and will get bored
quickly with a life of inactivity.
