How To Choose Australian Labradoodles

By Sandra Roberts


All breeds of dogs regardless of whether they are mixes, crossbreeds, or purebreds have the potential of developing genetic health problems. Australian Labradoodles are not excepted from this possibility. As such, it is important to avoid breeders who do not provide health guarantees on their puppies, but instead make unsubstantiated claims. One must ask to see health certificates of the puppies before making a purchase.

A legitimate breeder usually never hesitates to share any health concerns with the client. They will give the client details of possible diseases that may occur and the rate at which they may occur. With this in mind, a buyer is able to make wise decision. A person may go ahead and buy the puppies in case there are low chances of various genetic diseases occurring. Testing needs to be done for one to make up their mind.

As this dog breed is a hybrid, it is prone to health issues affecting both of its parents. This means that they may develop same health issues affecting Labrador retriever, standard doodles, and miniature doodles. Fortunately, as genetic diversity is introduced by mixing of genes from both parents, chances of inheriting certain diseases may be lower.

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.

Certain diseases usually run in certain lines of dogs. That means that if the parents and grandparents of the puppies do not have certain inherited diseases, then chances of descendants being free of the same diseases are high. The health certificates of the parent dogs should be obtained from reputable registries such as the Canine Registry Foundation and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals among others.

There are scrupulous breeders who go to such great lengths to lie to buyers who may not be suspecting anything. They conjure stories in their attempts to convince buyers why testing is not required. Some even claim that they have never encountered genetic issues in their entire lines of dogs, hence testing is not a necessity. Others provide certificates issued by veterinarians as proof. These are the kind of people to be avoided with immediate effect.

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.
