Australian Labradoodle Puppies North Carolina

By Leslie Griffith


Australian Labradoodle puppies North Carolina are bred to be guide dogs, service dogs, therapy dogs, and companion pets. They're friendly and intelligent, good with kids and other pets. Non or low shedding coats make this a good pet for allergy sufferers. They can keep up with an active family but aren't hyper. This sociable and loyal breed loves company. They're physically strong and not fearful of change so if you have a busy lifestyle/household, this might be the right dog for you.

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 research centers, Tegan Park and Rutland Manor, were established to perfect the breed. To stabilize coat types and temperament, the Irish Water Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, and American Spaniel were added to the lineage of early generations. Breeding was done to strict standards with detailed documentation. All true Australian Labradoodles trace back to these 2 lines.

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.

Parent stock should be DNA tested for progressive retinal atrophy before breeding. In their old age, Australian Labradoodles may develop hip dysplasia or patella disorder (slipped kneecap). Addison's disease is the major health problem. There's no test and onset occurs later in life after several generations have been bred. Discuss this risk with your breeder.

Wool is the superior hypoallergenic coat type, soft and non shedding. Fleece is non to low shedding, silky, wavy or curly. Puppies with hair should not be kept in the breeding line as they're not allergy friendly. For those without allergies, they make a wonderful pet with all the best of the desirable temperament, and a discounted price.

Grooming needs are minimal. Brush weekly with a slicker brush, and a visit to the groomers 3-4 times a year for a trim or haircut. Clean ears weekly to avoid infections.

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 a great pet for families who want a go anywhere companion pet. They're intelligent, easy to train, bred to be attuned to their families moods and needs. This is a great choice for families with a special needs family member. They often form exceptional bonds with autistic family members. They're excellent watchdogs, but not guard dogs as they're not at all aggressive. They're calm and patient but don't enjoy alone time.
