The history of Australian Labradoodle puppies is relatively short if counted in years as a breed. Thirty years ago the idea of an intelligent hard working dog that didn't shed hair or dander came to be reality when Wally Conran cross bred a poodle with a Labrador. After several litters he finally came up with one puppy from a litter that could be trained as a guide dog for a woman in Hawaii with a husband that was allergic to dogs. Of the thirty one other dogs bred twenty nine became guide dogs. An unheard of average for any breed.
Since that time the dog has gained popularity with people from all walks of life. There are three different lines of ancestry for these dogs. Two separate factions that breed Labradors, Poodles, and a spaniel to accomplish both coat and temperament and another in America that breeds strictly Labradors and Poodles to get the same results. When looking for a puppy be sure to ask which breeders they come from. There are some differences according to the breeder's standards guidelines.
This puppy can be easily trained at a young age. They are very quick to learn tricks and to housebreak. If you live in an apartment it is a good idea to walk them four or five times a day so there are no accidents. They need mental stimulation as well as physical activity on a daily basis. Although they are very good in the house they have a lot of energy to spend in play time.
You can find this breed of puppy in America as well as Australia. Two of their bloodlines originate in Australia and one was created in California. If you are not certain which line your puppy comes from ask the breeder. You should also ask about what and when to feed the dog once you are home.
Another question you will want to ask is if the breeder has started the housebreaking routine with your puppy. If so you will want to find out the system he is using so that you can copy it and not confuse your new puppy. Being taken from his mother will be enough trauma for him to endure.
It is important to start grooming the puppy early in his life. The sooner he gets used to the feel of the brush the better he will like it. With the lack of shedding and very thick coats they should be brushed no less than three times weekly. Twice yearly trims at the groomer for nails, ears and a trim will suffice.
The coats on these dogs will vary from litter to litter. The difference is caused by the dominant genes in the parents. The coats will range from curly to thick and wavy. Some will even have a longer flowing coat reminiscent of the spaniel coats. The size of the dogs may also vary. Poodles genes dominate here so they can be very large or very small.
Australian Labradoodle puppies are adorable as babies and grow up to be excellent family pets as well as service animals and companions. When deciding whether or not they are the right dog for you consider the size, activity level, and over all intelligence of the dog you are seeking. If you are active, dominant and smarter than the puppy it should be a good match.
