Things To Know Before Visiting Labradoodle Breeders Texas

By Kenneth Foster


Dogs make excellent pets, especially for those who want very active companionship as compared to a cat. Many of your friends in Texas, who are also dog and pet lovers may have suggested that you get a specific breed of dog, such as the labradoodle, which can be a great companion for you. But before you do go to the nearest Labradoodle breeders Texas establishment, do read on in this article for some background info on the breed.

Formerly originating in Australia in 1955, the breed was created by mating two sporting dogs, the poodle and the Labrador. Being sporting breeds, the result can be expected to be a breed that is also very active. 1988 saw the beginning of the popularity of this breed due to its claims of having a hypoallergenic coat.

Although it has been around for a while, the breed lacks the consistency that is usually seen in other breeds, in terms of temperament and physical characteristics. It is basically a crap shoot in getting either a dog that is quiet smart and reserved and with a high maintenance coat or one that is rowdy and slow to mature and also having a coat that sheds a lot, or a mixture of these two kinds of labradoodle.

Physical appearance wise you will get a lot of inconsistencies also. You can get one with a high maintenance coat that needs to be untangled most of the time or you can get one that is fairly easy to manage. You can also get a combination of this plus another characteristic of it shedding heavily or not.

When getting a dog of this breed you will either get one that sheds heavily or perhaps one that hardly sheds at all. Regardless of what type you get, just ensure that you will also have a hair brushing of at least twice a week. This should be coupled with nail trimming and trimming of ear fur of at least once a month in frequency.

This breed is probably one of the most friendliest breeds around, so if you are expecting to use it as some form of guard dog then you may be in for a disappointment. It is more of a barker than a biter and may even invite an intruder for a cup of tea and crumpets. Due to their friendly nature they will not be too hard on a first time owner.

Due to their sporting breed background, they need to keep active and needs at least an hour of exercise and outdoor activities a day. Due to their high energy levels, it is not advisable that they are not kept in small places like apartments. They are also good to have around kids, but their high energy and rambunctious behavior may knock children down by accident.

If you do intend on getting this breed then do so from reputable breeders and owners. Do not ever get one from irresponsible breeders or even puppy mills which have no regard for the overall health of the dog but just want to make a quick buck. By buying from a reputed breeder, you have a chance to get a dog that has an even temper and even better health.
