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 its physical appearance however, the greatest discrepancies do show up down the generations. This breed was bred to ensure a non shedding coat, like a poodle, but this is not always the case for one can get a heavy shedding coat. Likewise one can also get a heavy high maintenance coat that is prone to matting and tangling. It should be noted that although touted as hypoallergenic, allergies can still be triggered by some dogs of this breed due to its more excessive dander.

Should you get a dog of this breed, you will either get a heavy shedder or light shedder. In either case, the fur in general is prone to matting and tangling and should be brushed regularly in the region of at least twice a week. Take care to regularly trim its nails and ear fur at least once a month.

This breed can also be termed as ultra friendly. Do not expect too much of it becoming a vicious guard dog while you are away, for more likely than not it will make friends with strangers in your home, including intruders and would be robbers. This friendly nature however, is what makes this breed a popular choice for first time dog owners.

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.
