This Is Useful Information About Australian Labradoodles

By Gary Wagner


Labradoodles are a special breed of guide dogs that was developed in Australia by crossbreeding Labrador Retrievers and Poodles. This effort was made by the RGDAA, which is the Australian association responsible for enforcing standards of guide dogs in the country. What resulted of this effort was a smart and sociable breed of dogs that had a strong guiding instinct. As a result, it qualified as a guide dog, becoming useful to many people.

Serving as a hypoallergenic service dogs was the initial target of creating labradoodles. In many classifications, Australian labradoodles fall under designer dogs because they are hardly purebred. Although the breed was initially targeted to be absolutely hypoallergenic, the breed proved to be versatile as both a family and therapy dog. Buying a puppy is more valuable than the work and cost involved.

The dog is highly sociable and enjoys the company of its owner a lot. She is a strong dog, a trait inherited from the Labrador Retriever. It also exhibits a strong work ethic, which is something inherited from the poodle. As such, labradoodles has the best mixture of both the parents. This has made the breed very popular not just in Australia where it originated, but also globally.

Labradoodles are in three major size classifications. Normally, the size of the poodle used in the initial generation determines the size of the resultant puppy. Miniature, medium and standard are the three size classifications available. Therefore, the category of the species may range from medium to miniature. Normally, in many dog species, males have larger bodies and more weight compared to females. This applies to Labradoodles as well.

The weight range of the dog will be determined by the size category. The biggest and heaviest dogs are the standard sized weighing a maximum of 64 pounds with a height of 24 inches. The smallest are the miniatures while the medium sized ones lie between the standard and the miniature size classes. A medium sized labradoodle can achieve up to 20 inches at the shoulders and a weight of 45 pounds.

Puppies are usually great learners and exhibit a high level of trainability. They are able to master basic skills after a few repetitions. The first lesson of training that the puppies should be given is crate training so that they learn to stay inside when they need to be alone. This should be followed by training them to learn to poop outside the house or at a specific point in the house.

Room training is also important so that the dog can learn how to behave properly while in the house. All these different kinds of training should be provided when the dog is still young so that they can learn easily and get used to them. The puppy should also be trained to walk on a leash when outside. This is an important skill when walking the dog outside for physical fitness every day.

Proper food needs to be provided to the dog to keep it safe and healthy. One should be careful with the kind of dog meals they buy. Proper feeding prevents health problems in future. Poor feeding habits may also lead to obesity and even death in extreme situations.
