Read This Prior To Your Labradoodle Chicago Dealer Visit

By Frank Davis


You may actually be in the market right now for a pet of some sort and are currently mulling your choice of dog. You may have an inkling to visit the nearest labradoodle Chicago dealer in your vicinity to provide you with this breed. Before you do go out and get this dog however, do read on in this article for more information on it.

1988 was the basic birth year of this mixed breed. The breed is a mix of two other popular breeds being a poodle and a Labrador. It is a fairly young breed in relative terms and it still has to be determined if it is deserving of its own breed status or not.

Regarding its parent lines, the labradoodle is derived from two working breeds. The Labrador was bred as a working dog tasked with retrieving things and items that fell off boats usually, most likely tackle and supplies. On the other hand, the poodle was bred for herding and guarding purposes on the farm. Later on these two were later bred for sporting purposes, with mixed reactions from the canine community.

Uniformity of behavior across time for all dogs of this breed is hard to establish, as this is a fairly young breed still. They are however, in possession of a very enthusiastic personality and are always eager to please their masters. On top of this, they are also very energetic and will require quite a bit of leg room to move around in.

When taking care of this dog, or for any pet for that matter, a regular visit to the veterinarian is of course something that is always recommended. It is a very robust breed however, and you should have no problems in taking care of it. However, as it does age, you may come across joint and hip ailments.

When getting a dog or puppy of this breed, you will get either a thick wool coated one or you will get a thinner and fleecier one. The former is much wavier than the latter. The wool type coat will need to be groomed at least once a year, whilst the fleece coat will need regular brushing and maintenance to offset its proclivity to matting and tangling.

As this breed is one that is created from working type dogs, it will need a lot of protein in its diet as can be derived from sources such as chicken. Also be aware of foods that it cannot eat such as chocolates, grapes and cherries. You can also ask your vet alternate sources of proteins such as from grains and plants that your dog can avail of.

This article has thus shown some things that you should consider in getting a dog of this breed. Other considerations exist, such as price and upkeep also that you may need to further research into. In any case, do your homework fully before committing to a purchase.
