Beautiful Labradoodles For Sale Illinois

By Edward Cole


Labradoodle is a relatively new breed, made by crossing two of the most popular dog breeds, Labrador retrievers and Poodles. Combining desirable qualities of these two breeds, the breeders wanted to design one special breed, a hypoallergenic guide dog with high intelligence and lovable nature. Resulting dogs are so lovely that they are widely popular today. Find Labradoodles for sale Illinois.

This crossbreed was developed crossing the Labrador retriever with different sized Poodles. As a result, there are three main Labradoodle variations, Standard, Medium and Miniature. Standard is up to 24 inches high, Medium up to twenty, and the smallest one, the Miniature, up to sixteen inches. Females are smaller, generally. Thanks to the fact this breed doesn't have strict standards yet, there can be certain differences between individual dogs.

When it comes to the quality of their coats, there are three different types, hair type, wool type and fleece type. Hair type coat is more like Labradors have, and is more prone to shedding. Later types are with loose curls, thicker coats and shed very little. They can both be of different length, and might require occasional trimming, just like with Poodles.

Labradoodles are generally quite healthy dogs. Nevertheless, make sure to buy your dog from a reputable breeder, who will provide health clearances for both parents. If you visit the breeder, you will have the opportunity to observe your puppy's mother and other siblings, and to see how your puppy will look alike when she grows up.

Labradoodles are funny, joyful and sociable dogs, perfect for family pets, and you won't be sorry if you choose one of them to be your family dog. They are smart, really friendly, affectionate and always ready to play. They will tolerate being alone at home, and appreciate your presence when you finally come back. They won't be drooling around, and cope great with cold or hot weather.

Labradoodles will accept apartment living easily, but they would be happier with more available space, or a large backyard to play in. Their exercise requirements are quite high, because they are really energetic dogs. At least one daily walk, with occasional opportunity to run around without leash, that would be ideal for your pet. They don't make very good guard dogs, because they are too friendly.

Grooming is simple, just occasional brushing, ear-checking and nail clipping. Nail clipping may not be necessary at all, if your dog gets enough opportunities to run outside. Clean her teeth with a dog toothbrush regularly and don't give her a bath too often. In fact, if it isn't necessary, don't give her a bath. Wipe her coat with wet cloth, or use a brush instead. If you have to wash her, use some very mild shampoo.

Early socialization is really important for any dog, especially when it comes to Labradoodles. This way you will end up having a well-rounded dog, with beautiful manners. She will be a great friend to your children, but she might be over exuberant sometimes, thanks to her unbelievable energy. Make sure that she gets enough exercise on daily basis, so she could spend at least a part of this amazing energy running around.
