Labradoodle Puppies - The Best Therapy

2016/5/4 10:08:37

There is no doubt that Labradoodle puppies are adorable family pets but did you know that they are also excellent therapy pets too? In the mid-seventies Labradoodles were specifically bred as a hypoallergenic solution to the guide dog. The thought came from the gap in provisions for people who required the temperament of a Labrador and their trained services but had allergies that flared with a shedding coat. Someone had the brilliant idea of crossing a Labrador with a Poodle (whose coat is low allergenic) and eventually the purebred Labradoodle was born.

Labradoodles are ideal therapy pets because they are intelligent and loyal with a wonderful disposition. This breed are acknowledged for their mild temperament and this is considered one of the most important characteristics a therapy pet can have, which ensures they are used regularly as seizure alert dogs, agility dogs and Service Dogs to the physically and mentally disadvantaged with great success.

Therapy pets can have such a positive impact on the lives of their families and provide a great deal of assistance in anything from having a calming influence and simply being a companion to being an assistance/service dogs who is required to carry out 'tasks' to make the lives of their handlers easier. The tempered personalities of Labradoodle puppies mean they can be trained to work with children that have special needs (predominately ASD - Autistic children) and provide companionship as they both grow into adults.

Obviously, it's very important to research a breeder carefully. This animal will become an important and integral member of the family and will be around for a long time. Potential health issues should be your primary concern. It's comforting to know that thanks to the crossbreeding of the Labrador Retriever and Poodle breed-types, a lot of the main health problems common to both breeds have been eradicated. However, inexperienced breeders can be less concerned about the integrity of their bloodlines and can therefore inadvertently reintroduce genetic disorders into their litters by not checking and monitoring the quality of their animals.

Find a breeder that specialises in breeding animals specifically as therapy pets (not just any Labradoodle breeder). Ensure they are breeding responsibly and from quality bloodlines. There should never be any issues with checking their records or asking questions about the lineage of the dog you intend to take home. If they withhold this information, find a different breeder immediately.

Labradoodle puppies as therapy companions will boost the spirits of their owner as well as the people around them - for a lifetime of devotions and happiness.
