Should You Choose Australian Labradoodle Puppies North Carolina

By Leslie Griffith


The most important need of Australian Labradoodle puppies North Carolina is companionship. These are friendly, loyal, sociable dogs, intelligent and easy to train. They love people, kids, other pets, walks, travel, new faces, new places. Strong and energetic but not hyper, and with a calm disposition, this is a go anywhere companion. Friends with allergies to dog hair will appreciate the low to non shedding coat.

Thirty plus years of careful breeding has created a purebred predictable in coat type and behavior. Early 1980's, Royal Guide Dogs received a request for a hypoallergenic service dog. Wally Conran crossed a Poodle and a Lab but of the first 31 puppies, only a handful were hypoallergenic. But 29 of the 31 passed service dog training, a phenomenal success rate.

Two breed and research centers, Tegan Park and Rutland Manor, were established to continue development of this intelligent breed, especially development of an allergy friendly coat. Other allergy friendly breeds (Cocker Spaniel, American Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel) were added to the lineage. Labradoodles with desirable traits were bred to each other. Multi-generational breeding has created a breed with predictable physical characteristics and temperament.

Both the Australian Labradoodle Association (ALA), and the International Labradoodle Association (ILC) maintain large registries for both the American and Australian Labradoodles. The American Australian Labradoodle Club In America (ALCA) focuses exclusively on the multi-generational Australian breed by verifying documentation back to the original breeding stock.

Ask your breeder if the parent dogs were tested for progressive renal atrophy, PRA, before breeding. Addison's disease is another concern. There's no known DNA marker. Onset of the disease occurs in adults so several litters can be produced before this health issue is discovered. Aging dogs can develop hip dysplasia or patella disorder (slipped kneecap).

Coat types are wool, fleece, or hair. Wool is soft, hypoallergenic, and non-shedding. Fleece can be curly or wavy. It's silky and low or non shedding, an allergy friendly choice. Regular doggy hair is considered a fault but does occur. These puppies have the same great temperament, make great pets and service dogs, but should not be bred.

Labradoodles require more grooming than Labs, but less than Poodles. Clean the ear canal weekly to ward off ear infections. Brush weekly. Trim the coat every 3 to 4 months for easy maintenance.

Lifespan is 13-15 years. Miniatures weigh up to 25 pounds, medium dogs weigh up to 40 pounds, standards up to 65 pounds. Eye colors are amber, honey, hazel, and brown. Coat colors are red, black, silver, chocolate, milk chocolate, apricot/gold, apricot/cream, apricot, cream, caramel, cafe, parchment, lavender, blue, chalk. Black puppies with silver streaks will be silver as adult dogs. Milk chocolate puppies with cream streaks will be parchment as adult dogs.

Australian Labradoodle puppies North Carolina are great family dogs, service dogs, guide dogs, therapy dogs. They're sensitive to their families needs, great with special needs children. Many autistic children are able to interact in marvelous ways with this special breed. They're watchdogs but not guard dogs, friendly to all and not aggressive. They don't tolerate a great deal of alone time. They especially don't like to be left alone in a backyard. No matter which size you choose, Australian Labradoodles want to be house dogs, a loyal and constant companion.
