Ads Like Labradoodles For Sale Illinois Need Checking Out

By Kimberly Reed


Adding a pet to a family is a big deal and a long term commitment. Not everyone is suited for pet ownership, perhaps because of a particular lifestyle, allergy issues, or adverse financial situation. If you have decided you are a good candidate for a pet and have been looking at ads online, you may have noticed some that read Labradoodles for Sale Illinois. The word labradoodle might look familiar even though you are not sure just why. A little research will show that the Obamas chose this crossbreed to become the official White House dog for their time in residence.

The breed originated in Australia in the 1950s as a cross between a poodle and a Labrador. They were not generally known outside that country until about thirty years later when they began to get a reputation as reliable guide dogs. Over the years, their popularity has grown. They are still not bred for show however, because the breed is not currently recognized by any of the breeder's associations.

They are a fairly recent crossbreed, and as such, there can be a lot of variations in different dogs. Traits, characteristics, size, coloration, and coat texture are slowly becoming more uniform as the generations breed. If you are just looking for a good pet for your family and are less interested in the concerns of the breeding community, one of these animals might be good for you.

You can expect most of these animals to exhibit the traits that have earned them such a good reputation as guide and assist dogs. They are smart, easy to work with, and are eager to please. Most of them love people and other animals. A labradoodle generally likes attention and do not mind being petted and groomed. They can usually learn acceptable behaviors easily.

Labradoodles tend to be active dogs. They have plenty of energy and need room to play, exercise, and let off steam. They can live well in an apartment atmosphere as long as they are exercised several times a day and given the attention they need. Labradors are water dogs, and this crossbreed has inherited the love of water from them. Most will gladly jump, swim, and splash in any available pool, lake, or pond.

Because these animals are high energy and very affectionate, they sometimes have a tendency to jump up on people, get too close to unfamiliar dogs, and, if left to their own devices, dig and chew inappropriately. Obedience training classes may be a good idea. If you are looking for a family friendly pet that will also serve as a watchdog, this is probably not the breed for you.

One of the reasons these dogs have gained in popularity is their reputation for being hypoallergenic. Not all of them are however. Whether it sheds or not generally depends on the type of coat the animal has. These are dogs that do require grooming, without it their coats can become matted and unmanageable. They usually have the same health issues as most other breeds and need regular visits to the vet.

If you have decided that your family is ready for a pet, a Labradoodle could be a good choice. They have a good reputation for intelligence, devotion, and independence. This dog may be just the one you need.
