How To Choose The Best Labradoodle For You

Everyone wants one when they are a kid, some get them and others don't but a lot of people never grow out of loving dogs. Having a dog in your life is an exciting, messy, happy, crazy, wonderful thing and a Labradoodle is a fantastic breed to welcome into a home.

There are so many factors to consider when choosing any dog including a Labradoodle. What colour and age would you like your new pet to be? Do you want a male or female? Puppy or mature dog? It all depends on a person's individual preferences and personal situation. There is no right or wrong answer. In addition to these questions there are however, some much more serious considerations to keep in mind when choosing to purchase your first Labradoodle.

Remember that this animal will become part of your family and will be living with you for a long time, therefore, potential health issues should be your primary concern. It is 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 end up inadvertently reintroducing genetic disorders into their litters by not closely checking and monitoring the quality of their animals.

It is therefore extremely important to research and investigate a breeder very carefully before purchasing your new pet. Make sure that they are breeding responsibly and from quality Labradoodle 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 and any other information you are interested to know, find a different breeder immediately.

In general, a true Labradoodle will appear athletic with a compact body. When visiting a breeder inspect all of their dogs to ensure they are well cared for. Interact with the animals and look for the mild and friendly temperament that is characteristic of the Labradoodle breed.

In summary, understand that the right Labradoodle for you is more than just deciding on the size, age and colour of your new pet. The breeding and health of your new family member should be your top priority.

Owning a dog, especially a Labradoodle, can be a rewarding experience for you and everyone in the family. Bring one home that you know everyone will love.
