Labradoodles and Goldendoodles, A new breed of dogs.

A fellow blogger was always mentioning "puggles" to me. Then one
day I went for a walk with my 3 dogs and my neighbour and her
dog. She mentioned the labradoodles and goldendoodles to me. She
had seen them on a t.v. show.
So, I decided to do some investigating. For those who want some
information about these dogs, but not long scientific reports,
here is my article. I went on a long internet journey, and I
found out some amazing facts.
At first I though someone was maybe just getting bored, and
decided to create a new breed of dog. But no, there are some
very valid reasons for breeding these mixtures. Just read on,
and you may find that there are reasons why you may want to look
into one of these "oodle" dogs yourself.
As always, do lots of research and get lots of recommendations
from current "oodle" owners. There are also forums and clubs
that you can find on the internet. These can also help

you
decide if one of these is for you.
In the meantime, just enjoy learning something new, and when
your neighbour tells you about an "oodle" dog, then you will
know what they are talking about.
A Labradoodle is a crossbred dog created by crossing the
Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. Their temperament makes them
good service and family dogs.
The impetus behind experiments with this type of cross was the
desire to achieve a service dog that would not shed and so
produce a hypoallergenic dog that is suitable for people with
allergies to fur and dander. This has not yet been reliably
achieved, as Labradoodles have varying coat lengths and
textures, and crosses beyond the first generation do not yield a
predictable coat type.
The result of this cross produced intelligent, easily trainable
puppies that were the beginning of the Labradoodle as we now
know it. Crossing these two breeds also gave

the Labradoodle a
hybrid vigor and a variety of coat types.
Labradoodles combine the best of the 2 breeds.
Labradoodles are known to posses the gentle, sweet disposition
of the retrievers combined with the intelligence and allergy
friendly coats of the poodles. Labradoodles are wonderful with
children and people who have special needs. They are
non-aggressive, highly intelligent dogs that are extremely easy
to train. They want nothing more than to please their people.
The Labradoodle can vary in size: Standard, Medium and
Miniature
Color varies from chalk (milky white), shades of cream, gold,
black, chocolate, red, caramel and silver.
Coat: Labradoodles usually have no body odor, require minimal
bathing and brushing and rarely, if ever, attract fleas. They
seldom shed hair but will need to be groomed.
Wooly: Somewhat like a poodle. Requires regular grooming and

is
allergy friendly.
Fleece: The ultimate coat. It is easily maintained, non
shedding, allergy and asthma friendly.
Hair: Anything from flat and straight to curls down the back
and possibly wavy. It can vary from minimally to profusely
shedding. Not likely to be allergy friendly.

The Labradoodle is still under development. Strictly speaking,
the labradoodle cannot yet be described as a dog breed because
it does not breed true. Further, the breed standards of
breeds-under-development are invariably freer, more open to
interpretation and cover more observable types than those of
established or kennel club-recognized breeds.
The term Goldendoodle (Golden Doodle) describes a hybrid dog,
crossbred between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. This hybrid
is often said to have begun in Australia, along with

the
Labradoodle;
US fanciers challenge this assertion. Poodle hybrids have become
increasingly popular and it is likely that the combination of
Golden Retriever and Poodle has been duplicated by breeders in
various countries.
Goldendoodles are intelligent and obedient. The make great
family pets and will be wonderful companions. They are vey
social and devoted to family members. They are people dogs, good
with kids and other dogs and pets, and friendly with strangers.
Goldendoodles are likely to get into mischief if they spend most
of their lives alone or bored. (My golden retriever certainly
gets in trouble when bored. I can vouch for that first hand.)
They are intelligent and love to please, therefore, they are
very easy to train. They are a medium to large size family dog
with great temperaments.
When bred correctly, most of your first hybrid crosses are much
healthier because they are

NOT in-bred or line-bred or back-bred
to their cousins, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers. The
Goldendoodle can work out well for those who suffer from
allergies. They shed little to none, and they are very loving
dogs. If you have allergy or dog hair concerns, look into a
goldendoodle.
There are some amazing Labradoodle and Goldendoodle sites on
the internet, with references to breeders in USA and Canada, and
World Wide. These sites have some beautiful pictures of dogs and
puppies. You will fall in love with them. I did instantly. That
is why I posted about these dogs on my blog. And that is why I
was so compelled to write about them.
