The Best Buying Tips For Australian Labradoodles

By Sandra Roberts


All dog breeds have the potential of developing genetic health issues regardless of whether they are purebreds, mixes, or crossbreeds. In this, Australian labradoodles are no exceptions. This is why avoiding breeders who provide no guarantee on their dogs is very crucial. Such people are usually in the habit of making some unconfirmed claims. Before a purchase is made, a person should ask to be shown the health certificates of the puppy.

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.

Since lanradoodles are hybrid dogs, they are susceptible to health problems that both of their parents are prone to. That means that they may suffer from the same health problems that affect standard doodles, miniature doodles, and the Labrador retriever. However, since the mixing of genes from the two parents introduces genetic diversity, it is also possible that the labradoodles may have lower chance of inherited certain diseases.

It is not always that inherited health defects may be detected in puppies but the opposite is also true. Some defects may only be realized in fully grown pups. This leaves the buyer at the mercy of the seller. Fortunately, buyers can avoid this situation by ensuring the breeder produces health certificates for grandparents and parents of the puppy.

There are certain conditions that are common in a certain line of dogs. In this case, the puppy is free from certain inherited conditions if their grandparent and parents did not have the condition. One should get the health certificate of parent dogs from renowned offices such as the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and the Canine Registry Foundation among others.

Some breeders usually go to great lengths to lie to unsuspecting buyers. They will create stories to try and convince the buyer that testing is not necessary. Some will say that the tests are not necessary because they have never had genetic problems in their lines of dogs before. Some only offer certificates from veterinarians as proof. Such breeders should be avoided immediately.

A part from health defects, man-caused problems are also known to kill dogs. For example, obesity is responsible for several health issues which both adult dogs and puppies. It becomes increasingly hard for an obese dog to live its life to the fullest. In light of this, a person must be careful with the feeding of the dog. The market has lots of healthy formulas that a person may adopt.

In order for the dog to grow healthy, they need to be given daily exercises. Labradoodles need daily exercises since they are an active dog breed. Daily exercises helps keep their bones fit and strong. They also need to be let free to exercise and run around the yard daily.
