Here Are Facts About Australian Labradoodles

By Gary Wagner


Labradoodles are a special breed of guide dogs that was developed in Australia by crossbreeding Labrador Retrievers and Poodles. This effort was made by the RGDAA, which is the Australian association responsible for enforcing standards of guide dogs in the country. What resulted of this effort was a smart and sociable breed of dogs that had a strong guiding instinct. As a result, it qualified as a guide dog, becoming useful to many people.

Serving as a hypoallergenic service dogs was the initial target of creating labradoodles. In many classifications, Australian labradoodles fall under designer dogs because they are hardly purebred. Although the breed was initially targeted to be absolutely hypoallergenic, the breed proved to be versatile as both a family and therapy dog. Buying a puppy is more valuable than the work and cost involved.

Indeed, labradoodle is very friendly to the owner. It is also very strong. Its strength is inherited from the Labrador Retriever. Similarly, it exhibits a strong work ethic. This trait was passed down from the poodle that was used in crossbreeding. Labradoodles possess excellent traits inherited from the two parents. Apart from Australia where their origin is traced, the species is liked by many across the entire world.

Labradoodles come in three main sizes, that is, medium, miniature and standard. The size of the poodle used during first generation breeding will determine the size of fully grown puppies. The size of the males is usually bigger compared to the females. This dog breed can be categorized from medium to miniature sized dogs.

The weight categories of vafious classifications of Labradoodles have limits. The biggest and the heaviest are standard-sized dogs. They normally weigh up to 65 pounds and rise to a height of 24 inches. The smallest dogs are the miniatures, whereas the medium dogs fall between standard and miniature sizes. Normally, dogs that are medium-sized usually grow up to 45 pounds and their shoulders rise up to 20 inches from the ground.

Puppies are usually great learners and exhibit a high level of trainability. They are able to master basic skills after a few repetitions. The first lesson of training that the puppies should be given is crate training so that they learn to stay inside when they need to be alone. This should be followed by training them to learn to poop outside the house or at a specific point in the house.

Room training is also important so that the dog can learn how to behave properly while in the house. All these different kinds of training should be provided when the dog is still young so that they can learn easily and get used to them. The puppy should also be trained to walk on a leash when outside. This is an important skill when walking the dog outside for physical fitness every day.

Proper food needs to be provided to the dog to keep it safe and healthy. One should be careful with the kind of dog meals they buy. Proper feeding prevents health problems in future. Poor feeding habits may also lead to obesity and even death in extreme situations.
