This Is Useful Information 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 are in three major size classifications. Normally, the size of the poodle used in the initial generation determines the size of the resultant puppy. Miniature, medium and standard are the three size classifications available. Therefore, the category of the species may range from medium to miniature. Normally, in many dog species, males have larger bodies and more weight compared to females. This applies to Labradoodles as well.

All the three size categories usually have a specific weight range. The standard-sized dogs are usually the biggest and the heaviest reaching a maximum of 65 pounds and 24 inches in height. The miniatures are usually the smallest while the medium ones lie in between the other two size classes. A medium-sized labradoodle usually attains a weight of 45 pounds and can grow up to 20 inches at the shoulders.

It is easy to train labradoodle puppies since they are great learners and possess a high trainability level. After being made to repeat few basic skills they can master within a short period. The first training for the puppies need to be crate training, this will make the puppy know that if it needs to be alone they need to stay inside. The next training should be teaching them to poop at a specific point inside the house or outside.

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.
