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.

The breed was created or formed in the country of Australia in 1955, being a cross between two sporting breeds of the poodle and Labrador lines. Being a sporting breed cross one can expect this breed to be very active. 1988 was the beginning of its popularity due to its supposed hypoallergenic coat properties.

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.

In terms of its physical appearance however, the greatest discrepancies do show up down the generations. This breed was bred to ensure a non shedding coat, like a poodle, but this is not always the case for one can get a heavy shedding coat. Likewise one can also get a heavy high maintenance coat that is prone to matting and tangling. It should be noted that although touted as hypoallergenic, allergies can still be triggered by some dogs of this breed due to its more excessive dander.

Should you get a dog of this breed, you will either get a heavy shedder or light shedder. In either case, the fur in general is prone to matting and tangling and should be brushed regularly in the region of at least twice a week. Take care to regularly trim its nails and ear fur at least once a month.

This breed can also be termed as ultra friendly. Do not expect too much of it becoming a vicious guard dog while you are away, for more likely than not it will make friends with strangers in your home, including intruders and would be robbers. This friendly nature however, is what makes this breed a popular choice for first time dog owners.

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.

And finally when you do decide to get this breed, deal only with reputable dealers. Do not go for puppy mill creations or those from irresponsible breeders. In doing so, you can be sure that you will get good bred dogs with fairly stable temperaments and no health issues.
