Am I Right for the Breed

You’ve seen them in town with their owners.  It was cute! It was so well behaved.  It was friendly.  It looked like a real live teddy-bear!  So you’re curious- is a doodle or even better is an Australian Labradoodle right for you or are you right for the Australian Labradoodle?

HIGH MAINTENANCE

Type

 

COMPANION

This companion oriented breed thrives on human contact and being immersed in it’s human life.  They do not do well in homes where they are left alone for long hours.  This dog wants to be with his human.  A social breed that loves to clown around.  Requires socialization from an early age to become a well rounded dog.  This dog loves everyone that it meet- everyone is his long lost best friend!
It does not do well when left home alone for long hours.
Size

 

MINIATURE, MEDIUM & STANDARD

The Australian Labradoodle comes in three distinct sizes
Miniatures  15-17 inches tall & 20-25 lbs
Mediums    18-20 inches tall & 30-45 lbs
Standards  20-24 inches tall & 50-60 lbs
Many factors come into play when it comes to size and it isn’t uncommon for offspring to be larger or smaller than their parents.
Trainability

 

EAGER TO PLEASE

Incredibly smart!  The Australian Labradoodle is eager to please and easily taught new behaviors and skills.
Families who have little time or interest in training their dog will soon find out that while the dog learns behaviors quickly that this includes bad behaviors. Attending obedience classes from day one with your puppy is essential, this dog is part kangaroo and no one likes to be jumped on.  Come Come Come will be your most used phrase if you don’t train your Australian Labradoodle.
Coat Length

 

LONG COAT

The Australian Labradoodle sports a coat is like hair that grows continually and ranges from slightly wavy to very curly and occasionally a hair coat that will shed although there are less and less hair coats being produced.
The hair coat is great for families who don’t want to deal with the fuss of the high maintenance grooming that comes with the fleece and wool coats.
Grooming Required

 

DAILY GROOMING

The Australian Labradoodle sports a coat is like hair that grows continually and ranges from slightly wavy to very curly and occasionally a hair coat that will shed although there are less and less hair coats being produced.
Requiring frequent grooming can become expensive.  This is not a great breed choice for someone with a limited budget or who isn’t going to put in the effort to comb at home in-between professional grooming sessions.
Activity Level

 

MODERATE TO VERY ACTIVE

The breed does well with a family who plans to be active with their dog.  A daily walk and playing games will keep this dog happy.
Being stuck in the back yard is a recipe for disaster.  This dog will find a way to entertain himself.  If it isn’t digging up your daisies it will be barking at sky.
Barking Level

 

BARKS WHEN NECESSARY

This dog is no attack dog! It will not protect your family or your home but it can sound big when they want to.  If someone tried to break into your home they would surely be licked to death!
The Australian Labradoodle may bark a lot if not well exercised or if under socialized.

In summery this is a very popular breed because it is friendly, easy to train and doesn’t shed but it is not for everyone.  Families must be ready when they bring home an Australian Labradoodle. Ready to socialize their new puppy with the world, to attend training, to spend money on frequent trips to the groomer, to provide proper stimulation and exercise and to be ready to make this dog part of their family.
