What sizes are in the Labradoodle?
Regarding sizes: Currently we have three lines of australian labradoodle - australian cobberdog: S which would be 5-6 kilos; M which would be 6-15; L which would be 20-30. Within this, which is a generic division, we try to look for the puppy that best suits each family because within this range there are always puppies more towards one extreme or the other or precisely stay in the center.
What is better a Labradoodle or ...?
The answer is quite simple: A Labradoodle is always better! No, that's not true, all dogs are great. Although our name is Labradoodle Maravilla and obviously we are Labradoodle breeders and therefore they are our favorites we have to say that there are many marvel breeds, the first ones being the poodle and the golden.
The toy poodle, but also the giant poodle, as well as the golden are beautiful and incredible dogs. We love Irish setters but they are too nervous, as well as weimar bulldogs, and we have also had mastiffs, bulldogs... we are very dog people, but it is true that the Labradoodle seems to us a very balanced dog that adapts very well to the life of its owner, generally changeable, and that does not suffer if one day it is given only a quick walk, or if we are many hours outside.
It is very important to know that your dog is happy even when you have a time when you can dedicate less time to him. Also the fact of cleaning, a house full of hair, or the clothes when you go to work and you see little hairs floating, can become desperate. Any dog brings a lot of happiness, but the Labradoodle is the number one in bringing happiness along with smiles and peace, because it is true that it is an animal that transmits peace. So peace, love, happiness and smiles. Thank you very much for reading so much about Labradoodle Maravilla and happy to talk to you whenever you want.
Problems with Labradoodle
Labradoodle problems. The truth is that if things are well done, there are no problems at all, first of all because by doing a studied and standardized crossbreeding we eliminate all the problems of inbreeding that the breed may have, we even minimize many risks of each of the breeds from which they come from.
For example the golden is prone to hip luxation and the poodle to patellar luxation, the Australian Labradoodle has less than a 0.1% risk of these pathologies, especially for the genetic test of skeletal dysplasia that we do to adults. The only problem with the Labradoodle is that we use non purebred parents and the presence of possible intermediate crosses, an intermediate cross, what is known as F1B is, in our view, a coin flip. A Labradoodle should not be crossed with a Poodle or a Golden. If we do that kind of crossbreeding, we don't know what will come out of it. It is vital to respect the rules of nature.
As I said the crossbreeding of different breeds is the cause of almost all the breeds we know today, but it is important to respect certain genetic rules that mark the health of our dogs, as we said not everything that the internet calls Labradoodle is. In fact, be suspicious, as in any important aspect of life, when you are not sure where the puppy comes from, when they do not give you genetic tests of the parents, when they do not give you a contract or an invoice, when they do not let you see the parents... This is a decision for life.
Labradoodle Care
The Australian Labradoodle is a very easy dog to take care of. They need a lot of cuddles and hugs. In fact they usually like to be cuddled on the couch as close as possible to us, they are the best blanket in the world in winter, although in summer it is true that they are a little hot.
In terms of physical activity they adapt very well, we have daddies who go running with them, even those of size S and adorable grandmothers who do not even take them for a walk because it is very easy to educate them to do their little things in a kind of sandbox for puppies.
For the coat, brushing it once a week is enough and grooming and bathing in the Australian Labradoodle once every four months is perfect. We like them very shaggy, that's why they have an enviable coat quality.
We put the food four times a day in the puppies until they are four months old, and if they don't want to have dinner we leave it for them at night. They are good gluttons and we have to be careful not to overdo it.
The rest of the care of your Australian Cobberdog we will tell you when the time comes, they are very easy to maintain and adapt very well to their type of parents.Characteristics of the Australian Labradoodle
The basic characteristics of the Australian Cobberdog: wonderful character, calm, playful, funny, sociable, intelligent, helpful, noble... those are already clear to you for sure. Beyond that and that great hair that does not fall out we have some other important things to know. The first thing is the size, which in the end is a product of the parents' choice. The Labradoodle Maravilla have another characteristic and that is... They are the cutest in the world! No kidding... the only bad thing about this breed is that everyone stops you and says: can I touch him? On top of that the Labradoodle Maravilla loves to be touched so take it as a way to meet people and receive free smiles.
Australian Cobberdog Labradoodle Socialization
One of the aspects we are most proud of with our Australian Labradoodle Maravilla is the socialization process. Since they are three weeks old we start with smell, acoustic and tactile stimuli. This, which seems very sophisticated, basically consists of gradually making sounds, or bringing them orange blossoms or fairi... these are all protocolized exercises that are implemented week by week, as well as touching them, separating them from their mother a little at a time, so that they get to know the whole family.
