The Labradoodle is an adorable Poodle mix that is loved by many. The royal family of Poodle mixes is a group of amazing, often non-shedding dogs. According to search engine trends, Labradoodles are the most popular Poodle mix dog. This trend has been going on for over 14 years!
Other popular breeds like the Bernedoodle and Goldendoodle are slowly catching up to the Labradoodle. But Labradoodles will live on for a while, unless something happens. Labradoodles are a popular breed because they are so adorable, but before you buy a dog online or in real life, here are ten facts that will make you a Labradoodle expert…
1. The Labradoodle is a hybrid.
Labradoodle parents are playful Labradors who love their Labradoodle and Soft Coated Poodle.
The Labradoodle, like most Poodle mixes, inherits their amazing Poodle coat and intelligence. Labradoodles can be gentle with children they know and are extremely loyal.
The Goldendoodle can be friendlier than the Labradoodle. Loyalty and trainability are very similar between the two breeds.
2. Labradoodles were only specially created in 1988.
Labradoodles have been around for just over 30 years.
Wally was a man who wanted to cross a Labrador and a Poodle to create a dog. He wanted to create a hypoallergenic dog. He wanted a dog that could live with allergy sufferers (and work as a service dog).
Wally has succeeded! Labradoodles shed very little, produce dander on tiny skin cells, and allergy sufferers can tolerate it.
While there are no hypoallergenic dogs, poodle mixes such as Labradoodles and Bernedoodles shed very little.
3. Labradoodles come in several colors.
Labradoodle puppies are known for their very soft coats. You can get this coat in many colors!
There are many options: chocolate, white cream, red, yellow, apricot, gold, black and silver, or even parts of them.
There are three types of fur: very curly, like that of a sheep, and loose, straight fur.
The wavy coat is most typical of Labradoodles. This coat is somewhere between straight and curly.
4. Labradoodles may be too friendly to be guard dogs.
Labradoodles become so excited when meeting strangers that they wag their tails so much that they become unbalanced.
These dogs can be used as alarm systems, as Labradoodles often become agitated when they see an intruder.
For Guard Dogs? There are better options for guard dogs.
Some Labradoodles can be excellent guard dogs. However, this is not an everyday occurrence.
5. Labradoodles are not lazy.
Labradoodles, like many Poodle mixes, look like giant teddy bears. Labradoodles, like teddy bears, love to cuddle!
However, Labradoodles are active dogs that require 30 minutes to an hour of exercise each day.
Labradoodles can be active for up to a year.
They love to chase toys (tennis balls are a challenge), go for walks, play with other dogs, and swim.
They can be significant in apartments, especially small Labradoodles (mini Labradoodles). These dogs still require daily exercise, so pack your shoes and take them to the park.
6. The Labradoodle comes in three sizes.
The size of the Labradoodle will depend on the size of its parents. Even tiny Labradoodles can be bred.
Mini Labradoodle means that miniature Labradoodles can stand as tall as 13 inches at the shoulder (about 30 centimeters tall) and weigh around 15 pounds (7 kilograms).
7. Labradoodles can be service dogs, guide dogs, or assistance dogs.
Labradoodles are loyal, caring, and extremely intelligent. These traits come from their parent breeds, the Labradoodle and the Poodle.
Labradoodles hardly shed.
These qualities make them excellent service and guide dogs, which is why Wally began breeding Labradoodles.
8. Labradoodles have whiskers.
Labradoodles are known for their iconic appearance due to their dog-like whiskers. Labradoodles with their whiskers resemble teddy bears.
The unique name of the furniture knows this facial hair.
Although Labradoodles can be purchased without furniture and whiskers, they often look like Labradors or Poodles.
Labradoodles without furniture often have inappropriate coats. This coat is highly correlated with shedding.
Labradoodles with poor coats often look like Labradors.
9. Labradoodles love to swim.
Labradoodles love to play in the pool, at the beach, or in the backyard with a hose.
Although Labradoodles may be wary at first, they soon learn to love water.
It's in the genetics. Historically, Labradors were used to hunt waterfowl. Poodles were used to retrieve waterfowl and ducks. They love water.
Labradors love lakes; Poodles prefer swimming pools! This is unacceptable, but it's a great way to use alliteration.
10. Labradoodles can live up to 15 years.
It is incredible to know that Labradoodles can live very long lives due to the small size of the poodle breed.
Labradoodles are healthy if they are fed the right diet. There are not many illnesses to worry about; however, larger Labradoodles tend to live shorter lives than smaller Labradoodles.
These ten facts will help you see the fantastic potential of the Labradoodle as a mix. Labradoodles are in high demand due to their low shedding and excellent temperament.
The Mini Labradoodle combines all of these wonderful traits into a small dog.
