Read Before You Visit Labradoodle Breeders Texas

By Kenneth Foster


Canines or dogs are one of the most popular pets around next to cats or felines. Their popularity stems from their more active states when compare to cats. Right now while you are in Texas many are suggesting that you take on a pet as a companion. Some may have even suggested a visit to the nearest labradoodle breeders Texas facility. Before you do commit to getting a dog of this breed, do read on in this article for some information regarding it.

As the name suggests, the breed is a cross between a Labrador and the poodle, both sporting breeds. Thus you can expect a very active dog to be on your hands. Originally coming from Australia in 1955, the breed only gained popularity in 1988 when it was used as a hypoallergenic guide dog.

Despite its being around for a few decades, there is still inconsistency in the generations created when it comes to regularity. The regularity sought for being in terms of physical characteristics and personality. It is still quite a coin toss on how to fully pinpoint the general temperament of any labradoodle, you can get one that is shy and reserved or rowdy and immature, coupled with either tidy or mat prone coats.

In terms of physical appearance and coat characteristics it is really no guarantee that they will get the same coats as the parent generation. They can actually get coats that are extreme opposites of their parents, being either very mat and tangle prone and high maintenance or one that is fairly easy to maintain.

Due to its fur type, whether it is non shedding or high shedding, the fur needs to be brushed at least twice a week, as most are still capable to some form of minimal matting and tangling. This regular brushing should also include regular nail clipping and ear hair trimming, of at least once a month.

This breed can be termed as one of the friendliest, if not the friendliest breed around. It would be a big mistake in assuming that you can make this breed into a guard dog, for it may bark for while but can actually get friendly with a robber or intruder that just might get into your home. Due to their friendly nature, most first time owners will find them a joy to be with.

As this is a cross between two sporting breeds, expect the resultant breed to be very active as well. Due to this, it is not advisable that they be kept in small living spaces like apartments as they need space to move around in. They will need at least an hour of exercise a day. Also they are good to have around kids, but their playfulness may at times result in your kids being knocked down a few times.

As a final note, never buy a dog from an irresponsible breeder or owner, and most especially from a so called puppy mill. Get one from a reputable dealer or breeder so that you will know that it is healthy and of sound temperament.
