How To Buy Australian Labradoodles

By Sandra Roberts


Genetic health problems can develop in breed of dog whether crossbreed, purebred or mixed. This does not mean that Australian Labradoodles are an exception. It is therefore advisable to avoid purchasing a puppy from a breeder who is not able to provide health certificates for their puppies. Before one makes a purchase, they need to first ask to see a health certificate for the puppies.

If the breeder is an honest one, then they will be more than willing to gladly share any concerns about the health of the puppy with their customers. In their explanation they will state the type of expected diseases and rate at which they happen. Doing this enables the buyer to make decisions based on facts. In case chances of a specific genetic illness occurring are low, a person may proceed to acquiring the puppy. This however, must only happen after confirmation tests have been run.

Since lanradoodles are hybrid dogs, they are susceptible to health problems that both of their parents are prone to. That means that they may suffer from the same health problems that affect standard doodles, miniature doodles, and the Labrador retriever. However, since the mixing of genes from the two parents introduces genetic diversity, it is also possible that the labradoodles may have lower chance of inherited certain diseases.

Genetic health conditions can be detected in puppies but it is not always possible. There are certain conditions that are only detectable after the puppy is fully grown. In such a situation, the buyer depends on the generosity of the breeder. On the other hand, this can be avoided if the breeder is able to produce health certificates for the parent and the grandparent dogs of the puppy.

There are specific diseases that run in particular lines of dogs. As such, if the grandparents and parents of the puppy in question are free of certain diseases, then there are lower chances of descendants developing it. Health certificates of canines must be obtained from authentic registration bodies like the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and Canine Registry Foundation among many others.

Some breeders usually go to great lengths to lie to unsuspecting buyers. They will create stories to try and convince the buyer that testing is not necessary. Some will say that the tests are not necessary because they have never had genetic problems in their lines of dogs before. Some only offer certificates from veterinarians as proof. Such breeders should be avoided immediately.

Dogs not only die from health issues but also problems caused by man. For example, a number of health issues can result from obesity and lead to death of puppies and adult dogs. A dog with obesity does not usually live its life to the fullest. For this reason one is advised to watch out how they feed their dog. There are healthy formulas that one can acquire from the market.

For better health and proper health, everyday exercise is compulsory. Since they are an active breed, they have to be exercised every day. For strong and fit bones, they must be walked daily. On daily basis, they must be released into the yard to exercise and run about on their own.
