MUST READ BEFORE
BUYING A LABRADOODLE PUPPY
- Do not buy from a pet shop, as they usually come from puppy mills.
- Shedding versus Non-Shedding. Almost 90% of First Generation Labradoodle puppies shed. They might not shed as a puppy, but may commence shedding when their adult coat comes through.
- Just because a puppy is raised in a family backyard does not mean its needs are being met or it is living in healthy conditions.
- Do your research. Don't rush out and buy a puppy impulsively or feel rushed into it. Do not support bad breeders, just because you have finally made up your mind and want a puppy now. Good things come to those who wait... The right dog will come along.
- Reputable breeders often have 6+ months waiting lists. The waiting time can be effectively used to agree upon training methods, book a puppy school, shop for your impending new arrival, find the best dog beaches and parks and get the house, fences and gardens in proper order.
- Even better, you can plan your holiday to coincide with the puppies arrival, so there is plenty of time for socialization and toilet-training, when it is most effective. You could even start planning your next holiday away, in a dog-friendly location.
