The Labradoodle is a cross between a Poodle and a Labrador dog. They originally developed in Australia to be a guide dog that was hypoallergenic. In 1989 Wally Conron Purposefully cross bred a Poodle and a Labrador.

Since the Labradoodle is a mixed breed they don't always turn out the same. There are 3 different ways that their coat could turn out, which are: The hair coat – the least popular, found with first generation Labradoodles. The wool coat – has a similar feel to a lamb’s wool, has loose curls, and doesn't usually shed. The last is the fleece coat – which has a silky texture, the coat could either be straight or wavy. Their coats come in many different colors like, Black, Cream, Red, Cafe, Silver, Chocolate, Apricot, Chalk and Gold.

There are three types of Labradoodles; Standard, medium, and miniature. The average height for a Standard Labradoodle male is about 22 to 24 inches and 21 to 23 inches for a female dog. The average weight for a standard is 50 to 65 pounds. The average height for a medium Labradoodle male is about 18 to 20 inches and 17 to 19 inches for a female dog. The average weight for a medium Labradoodle is about 30 to 40 pounds. The average weight for a Miniature Labradoodle is about 14 to 16 inches and the average weight is about 15 to 25 pounds.

The Labradoodle must be brushed frequently. You should brush them every other day, if not every day. You should also give them a haircut every 2 months or so. Also make sure to clean their ears frequently because they could get an ear infection. Clip their nails every two weeks and brush their teeth, daily if possible.

Like all other dogs, whether they are mixed or not, theyhave the potential to develop the common dog diseases most dog breeds can get. The Labradoodle is a generally healthy dog, but these are some problems that they may run into for a Labradoodle maybe: Ear Infections, Allergies, Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, Epilepsy, Diabetes Mellitus, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), and Hypothyroidism.

Labradoodles are very friendly and energetic. They are sociable and are not aggressive, and they get along very well with children, so that makes them a great family pet. They are also hypoallergenic, which also makes them great for people with allergies to dogs, with this breed you will be OK. They train very well and love working with people, so they are suitable for being guide dogs, assistance dogs, and therapy dogs, and loving dogs!

There is no doubt about it; puppies are going to chew on things! Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth. When a puppy is roughly 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in. All their baby teeth should be in place by roughly 8 weeks of age.

The puppy’s new teeth are very tiny and sharp, and will hurt your fingers when they get a hold of them. Most mothers will start to wean their babies at 5 to 6 weeks old.

Your puppies baby teeth will start to come out around 8 to 12 weeks of age. By roughly 8 months old, your dog’s permanent teeth should all be in. You should make sure that all baby teeth are out, so that a tooth does not get left in, and another one comes in and crowds the space, and also gives your dog pain. You would need to visit the vet if you see this happening.

Your puppy is going to want to chew on something, just like a real baby, their teeth are coming in, and they want to relieve some of the pain. It is good for them to chew, to help the teeth come thru. You would want to get some appropriate chew items to help them.

You could start to train your dog to have their teeth brushed. You can pick up doggie tooth supplies at your local pet store usually, and get down and dirty and brush your doggy’s teeth. Rawhide chews are an excellent source of good tooth hygiene, as they are good for your dog’s teeth, and can help take off build up plaque, and dogs usually love it also!

A lot of puppies and dogs end up getting human food usually from the weakest link in the family. If your dog is under the table, they usually will go to the person they think will mostly likely give them some food scraps. If you do, just remember, chocolate and some nuts can kill your dog, never give chocolate. Raisins can be just as deadly for your dog, do not give, they can shut down your dog’s kidneys, so be very careful of these products and your puppy or dog.
