The care and love you, Heather, and all at Classic Heritage devote to these pups is remarkable. The efforts taken to ensure pups are matched with their new happy forever home are excellent. Everyone I met was equally professional, educated, loving, kind, and a lot of fun. All of the dogs are beautiful and happy.We have had the best experience and have the most loving pup so anything we can do to help Classic Heritage we would. We have recommended you to everyone who has asked. Our dogs are fed real foods, meat with bones, organ meats, fruits, veggies, coconut oil, and kelp to ensure they have what nature intended them to have. Just like humans, quality foods are the building blocks our pups need to build quality bodies! For us, the difference in our animals is profound. From a shinier coat, fresh smelling breath, higher amounts of energy, healthier stools, and an overall expression that elicits happiness. You can rest assured knowing that your new puppy has been raised on the highest quality of building blocks since conception. Investing in your pet's food, is investing in their quality of life! Our dogs are extremely active and well-socialized on our homestead. Playing "dog tag" is one of their favorite daily activities but they also enjoy playing in our creek or cooling off in the the cows' water troughs, going to the local waterhole for a swim, or playing and snuggling with our five amazing children. Our goldens follow us everywhere, whether it be tending to the garden, checking in on the cows, hanging out with the cats, goats and chickens, or going on family adventures. Our dogs are abundantly loved and make our family complete! There are 9 beautiful girls and 2 handsome boys. All puppies come with full AKC registration, a go-home vet exam, dewormed, a 3-day supply of fresh food, our golden-goodie bag, raw feeding information, a 1-year health guarantee and receive zero vaccinations. Both parents have been health tested with UC Davis' golden health panel. Copies of the results are linked. Our sire, Leo, is a beautiful thick-haired golden sweetheart. He's the most athletic, loyal, loving, and cuddly golden there is. Well, due to Google, we actually have one in Turkey, so, pretty far away! As a Golden Retriever breeder, we adopt out a few great pups that we have been able to find some great families for. We have been fortunate to have some great golden adults. They have heritage links to some great well know kennels such as Liberty Kennels from which President Ford's golden came from; Gold Rush Kennels with their english creams and whose owner R. Ann Johnson published a well researched textbook on golden pups; and, also from Golden Glen Kennels that were well know for their dark goldens for their obedience and hunting. These are all our dogs - our pets first and foremost! We have been fortunate in gaining many referrals from past adoptees, as well as some of those getting 2nd, even 3rd, pups for themselves! We greatly appreciate our adoptees - past, present, and future. Our children participate in the breeding a little more each year! We have been doing this for 19 years since .Our adoptees say that our pups are better than they've found from most breeders when they come to pick out their pups. Of just over pups in 19 years, there has been great health history with no cancer. Any health issues have been mostly environmentally caused or some pretty common parasites that we work diligently to ward off for you and the pups. These are our babies, newborns, just like our kids that come home from the hospital. The pups are raised in our home, and socialized with tender loving care, on wooded and meadowed acreage with a pond. She was never bred, but our Golden Retriever adoption service is in honor of her, now residing at the "green tennis ball retirement lodge". This is the first pup, from our first litter! The Goldens we Breed: We have three spectrums of Golden pups and parents, primarily based on their coloring - See our "parents" page for complete information 1 English Cream bred with another English Cream. These come primarily from "Gold-Rush Kennels" lineage who have a long history of top dogs. These are the darker to dark red goldens that we started breeding with and come from great lineage both from "Liberty Kennels" back east from which came President Fords dog; and, "Golden Glen Kennels" with a long history of hunting and obedience backgrounds. This is a combination of the two above and produces some great pups in a range of medium light English Cream Golden to a medium to light medium dark "mocha" coloring. We have chosen not to breed the "average" golden that tends to be the light medium to medium in coloring with a fairly long coat. This is what the AKC considers the "standard of the breed". You will see these around, but mostly you will see them at a dog show; and, are the only range of Goldens you'll see shown. These average goldens have been way over bred, including a fair amount of "inbreeding", and they tend to have the most health problems due to this. There are some very beautiful dogs in this category, but by far we feel you will find the most beautiful, distinctive dogs with predictable great temperaments and health within the English Creams and darker Goldens. Our personal favorites are the very dark goldens, though hard to find. They specialized in the very dark goldens for hunting and obedience trials. Unfortunately these two ends of the spectrum do have their own caveats. The English Creams are fast becoming over bred with claims of grandiose backgrounds, rampant breeding of so-called "English Creams" "specially imported" from some country by a breeder, and they don't look much like a golden, and come with arbitrary high prices. With the darker Goldens, especially the darker red's, they are in a sense being hi-jacked by seemingly elite hunting breeders, generally requiring you to only use the dog for hunting activities a "working dog" ; and, subsequently, the "Golden community" is starting to lose these dogs that make fantastic intelligent companions and they also make great "help" dogs for people. Several of our darker Goldens have gone this route, as well as for hunting. This is not to say that the English Creams aren't good for this, as well! Most of our dogs, and the pups produced, have what we call a "long flat silky coat" that tends to be easier to care for than the very thick haired show golden and with generally less shedding. The English Cream Goldens tend to be somewhat fluffier and shed a bit more, while the darker goldens tend to maintain the flatter silky coat with less shedding. All our adults have good health backgrounds with their parents or grandparents, and farther back, having lots of OFA and CERF certifications for eyes, hearts, elbows, hips; though we go more by our health history because "certifications" tend to imply to many a level of "perfection" and unfortunately these are living beings, essentially just like us humans - see our health page for more health info. The darker Goldens tend to have a penchant toward hunting senses and abilities, though pups from all parents have been used for hunting. Some people favor the lighter, english cream goldens for their somewhat more mellow temperament, and somewhat lower energy level. However, be careful of seeking "mellow".This is especially true with a golden. We've never met or heard of a true golden retriever that doesn't have an inherent mellow temperament and that wants to bond with THEIR human. All our adults and pups, light to dark, have primarily the boxy heads with shorter snouts, though some have a somewhat longer snout. They all have wonderful traits of mellow dispositions, eager to please, and are "easily" obedience trained. We do provide the "one word" commands on our website, so you can start right away, but it does take comittment. The pups are socialized and surrounded by their siblings and mother and other dogs and all of our family 3 children, carefully monitored as well as visitors. Pups generally are released to their new homes around 8 weeks old. We do not recommend getting them much later, as the sooner they are with you, the sooner, and better, they will bond with you, instead of us or their siblings or parents. The ideal bonding time is from weeks old and gradually decreases at around 12 weeks of age; however, you will not find a golden that won't bond with a human at any age! Our pups have been placed in adoptive homes ranging as pets and companions to elderly care companions to pheasant hunting dogs to mascots on fishing boats to very happy apartment dwellers to families with 4 to 5 children.

In fact, there are more differences between an Australian labradoodle and a labradoodle than it meets the eye. The Australian labradoodle, also known as Australian doodle, or Aussie labradoodle was developed by crossing Labrador retriever, Poodle, and Cocker Spaniel dog breeds. This means that breeders now develop Australian labradoodle puppies by breeding two Aussie labradoodle dogs. Australian Labradoodle Appearance Unlike other mixed-breeds, the Aussie labradoodle has been carefully developed since the s with a special focus on temperament, coat quality, and soundness of the breed. This means that there are no surprises when it comes to the looks and temperament of this breed. In terms of general appearance, expect your doodle to look like an adorable plush teddy bear with big and round expressive eyes. Most Aussie labradoodles are between 14 and 24 inches tall and weigh between 15 and 65 pounds. Medium: Between 17 and 20 inches tall and weighing from 30 to 45 pounds. Ideally, females should be 17 to 19 inches tall, and male dogs should be between 18 and 20 inches high. Standard: Between 21 and 24 inches tall at the shoulders and should weigh between 50 and 65 pounds. Color These gorgeous dogs can come in a variety of different coat colors and patterns. Depending on their genetic makeup, Australian labradoodles can come in several shades of brown, ranging from an almost-white caramel ice to deep chocolate brown. The most commonly seen patterns in this breed are parti-colored, tuxedo, sable, and phantom, but solid-colored pups are also common. Coat Aussie labradoodles can have two coat types — either a fleece textured or wool textured coat. The fleece-textured coat is very soft and can either be straight, wavy, or have spiraling curls. As you can imagine, a wool-textured coat feels like wool and is usually curly. Aussie Labradoodle Character Aussie labradoodles are very intelligent, people-oriented, loving, and joyful canines. They can also be very comical to have around and are known to entertain their owners with silly antics. Lively and friendly, this breed gets along well with children and can be a great family pet and companion. In fact, when carefully bred for temperament, Australian labradoodles are one of the best service dog breeds thanks to their intuitive, clever, and outgoing nature. This breed inherited the high intelligence of a poodle, meaning they are quick to learn new commands and tricks and are highly trainable. Otherwise, your Aussie labradoodle will soon become bored and might try to have some fun by chewing your shoes or furniture. People-loving and energetic, this breed loves to spend time with its family and will happily play or cuddle with you for hours on end. They crave companionship and are the happiest when surrounded by their human families. Activity Level This energetic, fun, and agile dog is best suited for active people or families that spend most of their time outdoors. While not as energetic as Shepradors or some other Lab mixes, this breed likes to stay active and needs regular exercise. Ideally, you should walk your dog at least twice a day, and if possible, take them hiking or swimming every now and then. Besides taking them for daily walks, you will also need to play with your dog and find ways to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. Caring For An Australian Labradoodle Although a fairly low-maintenance breed, the Australian doodle still needs proper care and attention to stay happy and thrive. Like with any other dog, caring for an Aussie labradoodle will require a bit of time and effort on your part. Here are a few things you should pay attention to! Exercise Being related to both the poodle and Labrador retriever dog breeds, Australian labradoodles are naturally active dogs. Ideally, your Aussie labradoodle will need around one hour of exercise every day. Two longer walks or several shorter walks will give your dog a chance to relieve themselves and burn some excess energy. However, your dog will be extremely pleased if you also add at least 30 minutes of play to your daily routine. And thanks to both poodle and Lab roots, Australian labradoodles are excellent swimmers and will take to playing in the water in no time. Intellectual Stimulation Aussie labradoodles are highly intelligent but they also can get bored quite easily. Without mental stimulation, even the best-behaved Australian doodle will become destructive and find ways to get into trouble. Durable chew toys , puzzles, and tug toys will challenge your pup intellectually and keep their mind occupied in a fun and engaging way. While many dogs might decide to act out or become destructive, most Australian labradoodles develop depression or separation anxiety when left alone at home a lot. The great thing about this breed is that its single coat is non-shedding or low shedding, and as such, they are fairly easy to groom and maintain. Also, using doggy eye wipes can help clean the area around the eyes and remove bacteria-laden eye discharge. The best dog food for Aussie labradoodles is high in protein and has moderate levels of fat and carbs. Known Health Problems While considered generally healthy, the Aussie labradoodle has the potential to develop certain health conditions. Hip and Elbow Dysplasia — These conditions are commonly seen in large and medium-sized dogs and are caused by malformation of the hip and elbow joints. Life Expectancy Australian labradoodles have an average life expectancy of 12 to 15 years. Australian labradoodles were bred to serve as guide dogs, and they are highly intelligent and eager to please. These traits make them easy to train and they are quick to learn new commands and tricks. Start obedience training and socialization when your puppy is eight weeks old to help them grow into a well-behaved and friendly dog. Use positive, reward-based training to teach your dog basic commands and obedience. So, keep the training positive and avoid using harsh corrections and punishment. They also need to be mentally stimulated throughout the day and will need someone to play with. Buying Australian Labradoodle Puppies If you are looking to purchase an Australian labradoodle puppy, find a reputable breeder and schedule an appointment to meet the puppies and both parents. Check your local shelter or rescue organizations to see if they have any Australian labradoodles available for adoption and be prepared to spend some time getting to know your dog. The popularity of the Doodle breeds has possibly led to overbreeding and therefore less than desirable dogs being bred. Be vigilant when choosing a Doodle breeder.

Living Conditions The Australian Labradoodle will do okay in an apartment if it gets enough exercise. They are moderately active indoors and will do best with at least an average-sized yard. Exercise This breed needs a lot of exercise, which includes long daily walks. Life Expectancy. The intent was to create a breed that was allergy and asthma friendly with the temperament of a service dog. This journey was inspired by a vision-impaired woman in Hawaii who needed a Guide Dog which wouldn't aggravate her husband's allergies. Of the 31 Labradoodles bred at Royal Guide Dogs, a staggering 29 made it through as guide dogs, an accolade of unparalleled proportion for this "new breed" of guide dog. Breeding for Consistency To continue the efforts of Wally Conron, breeders in Australia began breeding Labradoodles and were determined to produce litters with consistent conformation, coat type, and temperament. During the 90's, a number of other dog breeds were bred into the Labradoodle lines to assist in this effort. Most often, the English Cocker Spaniel and American Cocker Spaniel were the breeds used, however, it is reported that a few other dog breeds were also introduced into certain lines. DNA evidence of these dog breeds are still found in a few lines today, while others were bred out and not re-introduced into any other blood lines. The Labradoodle is a cross between two specific dogs, the Labrador Retriever and Poodle. Protecting Australian Labradoodle Lines Organizations have been formed to protect the continued development of the Australian Labradoodle lines, and guidelines for the continued introduction of English and American Cocker Spaniel are followed carefully. Infusion committees also discuss the merits of other possible dog breeds being allowed careful introduction into select lines. It is an exciting time to be involved in the development of this breed. Temperament: Friendly, gentle, and intelligent. Australian Labradoodle Appearance Since it is a hybrid the Australian Labradoodle does not have any breed standards. Regardless of size, this stocky but graceful pooch is often covered in a curly coat just like their Poodle parents. Due to its fur having the more hair-like qualities of a Poodle the Australian Labradoodle is a low-shedding dog. With soulful eyes and a dark button nose, many may mistake it as a large teddy bear if it was not for its constantly wagging tail! Height and Weight These pups come in a variety of sizes: Miniatures often stand around 14 to 16 inches tall, weighing 15 to 25 pounds. Mediums often stand 17 to 20 inches tall, weighing 30 to 45 pounds. Standards often stand 21 to 24 inches tall and weigh 50 to 65 pounds. For those living in apartments or smaller homes, a Miniature or Medium would be ideal. Colors and Coat Australian Labradoodles often come in several shades of brown, from the milkiest cream to the silkiest dark chocolate. However, you can also find them in colors such as apricot and lavender. Their coats often come in three types: Hair, Fleece, and Wool. Hair is the loosest among the coat types, with a texture resembling a shaggy Labrador. Fleece lies somewhere in the middle, being softer and silkier than Wool but wavier than the Hair variety. This texture will shed less than the Hair type and is easy to manage. Wool is the curliest of the coat types most resembling a Poodle. This texture sheds little to none and is considered the most allergy-friendly. This texture will require regular weekly brushing and professional grooming to avoid matting. Expect smooth sailing when it comes to training as all its parent breeds are famous for being eager to please. Almost all the breeds that make up the Australian Labradoodle are in the sporting group so expect your pup to be as active as its parent breeds. The Cocker Spaniel and the Labrador Retriever are both known for their friendliness, making this social pup the life of the party. Wally Conron bred the first Labradoodle after a visually impaired woman named Pat Blum contacted him. Australian Labradoodle Personality and Temperament This hybrid is known for having the friendliness of a Labrador, the gentleness of an American Cocker Spaniel, the merriness of an English Cocker Spaniel, and the intelligence of a Poodle. Because of these qualities, they are the perfect family pet — energetic enough for the kids to play with and entertaining to watch in action. Due to their high intelligence, you will have fun finding creative ways to stimulate their minds. A fun family activity can be training them a variety of tricks or creating puzzle games for your furry little Einstein to solve. With proper training and socialization, they should be able to get along with all animals and humans. They are moderately active thanks to their parent breeds. Whether you are an on-the-go family or a sporty pet parent, this pooch should be able to keep up with you on all your hikes and runs. However, it will happily cuddle on the couch with you after a long day. Noise-wise, this dog is not known for being yappy. This dog can be a lot to handle for first-time owners and can get bored without enough mental and physical stimulation. However smaller Australian Labradoodles can thrive in an apartment or condo if given the right amount of exercise and entertainment. If you can put in the time to train and exercise you will be rewarded with a friend for a lifetime. Caring for an Australian Labradoodle Caring for an Australian Labradoodle requires a fair amount of time and effort due to their high intelligence and reasonable activity level. An active family or pet parent with time to dedicate to their physical and mental stimulation is best suited for this mix. As well as basic hygiene their unique coat requires professional grooming. Depending on their coat texture this may vary, but they will need regular appointments to a groomer to trim their coat and regular brushing to avoid mats. Grooming and adequate mental stimulation are very important and lead to a happy and healthy pup. Exercise Requirements With a lineage of active breeds, the Australian Labradoodle requires a reasonable amount of exercise. A minimum minute long walk would be enough for an adult, but several shorter walks throughout the day can also work. However, your pooch would not complain if you also added 30 minutes of off-leash play. They will enjoy the basic doggie games of fetch and tug-of-war, but feel free to be creative with this lively breed. With its Labrador roots, try taking fetch to the next level by teaching them to fetch in the water. The added activity of swimming back and forth will require more energy than your average park playdate. Taking your pup hiking can help with mental stimulation as your pup is introduced to new sights and smells. Agility training can also be a great option for those with backyards. All in all, a happy dog is a tired dog, and making sure to properly exercise your furry friend can prevent boredom and destructive behavior. Number of Walks Per Day: .Total Exercise Needed Per Day: minutes. Grooming and Shedding For an Australian Labradoodle, grooming can look different depending on the coat type they have. Hair-type coats will need weekly brushing to prevent odor and tangles. As this coat type sheds on its own it is likely that your dog will need fewer visits to the groomer. Fleece-type coats will need longer and more thorough weekly brushing sessions. Your furry friend will need a weekly bath and an appointment with a professional groomer every weeks. Wool-type coats are most manageable when kept short, with weekly brushing and grooming appointments every month to keep your pooch looking smart. In addition to the above, cleaning their ears once a month will help prevent infection. Using eye wipes can keep bacteria-filled gunk away but be sure to look for a brand that does not contain irritants. However, a good rule of thumb when choosing kibble is to avoid a brand that overuses byproducts and fillers. A good kibble brand will be complete and balanced with the necessary nutrients your dog needs to be healthy. You should consider grain-free as research has found this could be better for your pup. When calculating the number of calories your dog will need, consider energy level and weight. A general rule is to add calories for every pound your dog weighs. Of course, getting the advice of your vet is always key if you are ever unsure. Hip Dysplasia: Usual with most medium to large dogs where the hip joint becomes unstable and causes bone spurs and limping. The good news is that buying from a reputable breeder can decrease the likelihood of your dog inheriting these diseases. Having pet insurance could save you the headache of going to the vets. Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Due to their high energy levels and complex needs, the Australian Labradoodle may not be the best fit for novice dog owners. Previous experience with other highly intelligent breeds, such as the Border Collie , can be advantageous since dealing with their occasional stubbornness can be challenging. Adequate mental and physical stimulation is vital for this breed, as without it, they may become bored and frustrated despite the love showered upon them. Separation anxiety can be a concern with the Australian Labradoodle. A minimum of 50 minutes of daily walks is recommended, with even more exercise being ideal. Additionally, mental stimulation through training and scentwork activities is essential to keep their minds engaged. Providing various forms of enrichment can prevent frustrating behaviors like excessive barking and chewing, which may arise when they feel understimulated or bored.

Australian Labradoodle History The Australian Labradoodle is a prime example of carefully planned crossbreeding, originating in Australia during the s. While Australian Labradoodle guide dogs have been successfully trained and placed in Australia and Hawaii, achieving the non-shedding characteristic of the Standard Poodle has not yet become a fixed trait. However, Australians took it a step further, considering it not just a Labrador x Poodle cross, but a distinct breed that was developed over many years with specific goals in mind. To achieve these goals, further development involved infusing parent breeds into the existing Labrador x Poodle lines. The breed developers sought to complement the Australian Labradoodle and cultivate the qualities they admired and cherished in these dogs. In , the first Australian Labradoodle Breed Standard was written, reflecting these aspirations. As of now, the Australian Labradoodle comprises six different breeds in its origin. Australian Labradoodle Size The Australian Labradoodle is a generously sized mixed breed with no fixed breed standard, resulting in a wide variety of coat colors due to the combination of their parent breeds. Their coats are typically thick, displaying a lovely blend of curls or waves, and their ears are characterized by floppy, curly hair. While the most common coat colors are solid yellow, tricolor, or merle, this crossbreed can exhibit an array of captivating color combinations. Australian Labradoodle Personality The Australian Labradoodle is known for its generally good-natured and affectionate demeanor towards familiar people, but they can sometimes be reserved or cautious around strangers. Early socialization is vital for all dogs, regardless of their typical temperament, as it helps prevent reactivity towards people or other dogs, ensuring they can enjoy various experiences, such as visiting dog-friendly establishments or playing at the dog park. Without proper exposure, this devoted breed may develop reactive behavior towards perceived threats. Consistent training from a young age is essential for enhancing their overall quality of life and yours as they grow into adulthood.

Australian Labradoodle Health When the Australian Labradoodle is bred by a responsible breeder, they often enjoy good health. Crossbreeding, including designer dog breeds like the Labradoodle, can reduce the risk of common ailments found in purebred dogs. Potential Health Issues include:. The Australian Labradoodle originated in Australia hence the name in the s and was intentionally bred for service and therapy work. They should also not be confused with an American Labradoodle which is the cross of Labrador Retriever and Poodle only. Their eager to please attitude and high intelligence makes them easy to train. As with any breed though, you will need to be consistent! They do best with positive reinforcement and a gentle trainer. Basic training should begin as soon as you bring your Australian Labradoodle puppy home. While Australian Labradoodles are known to have a low to moderate energy level, they are an intelligent breed that requires mental simulation and physical exercise in order to keep them happy and healthy! Their exercise needs can typically be met with about minutes of exercise playing, walking, etc. It is important to remember that not all Australian Labradoodles are the same and some may enjoy more or less exercise to keep them happy and healthy!

Australian Labradoodles come in several different sizes micro mini, mini, medium, and standard which means there is the perfect size for everyone! Australian Labradoodles have been intentionally bred for several generations making their traits and characteristics more predictable. Australian Labradoodles have three main coat types: Fleece: A Fleece coat can either be wavy or curly and will have a silky feel. These are typically non-shedding and relatively easy to maintain. Wool: A wool coat is curly, with a Poodle-like texture, has a cotton-like feel. These are usually non-shedding and can be a bit harder to maintain if kept long. Hair: A hair coat can be either straight or have a slight wave and is comparable to a lower generation ie F1 Labradoodle. These have are typically easy to maintain and have higher chance of shedding, but will vary by puppy. Multigenerational Australian Labradoodles that have been intentionally bred for several generations are typically non-shedding or very low-shedding. However, it is important to note that some breeders we do occasionally will do infusion litters with one of the parent breeds ie the Lab or Cocker Spaniel. These infusion litters may produce some puppies that are low to moderate shedding depending on their genetics. Australian Labradoodles can come in very wide variety of colors and patterns! Below are some examples of the colors and different patterns that we produce. Please note that not all colors and patterns are included! We at Aussie Labradoodle believe we are breeding the most loving, healthy, and reliable family pets around! Of course, we may be a bit biased :. Beginning with our first imported Australian Labradoodle, Macey, from Tegan Park in Australia, we've been doing our best to improve this breed since ! Initially bred in in Australia to provide assistance dogs for folks with allergies, the Australian Labradoodle became a beloved family pet that offered the best of both worlds: a large family-oriented people pleaser, highly intelligent, with low shedding to no shedding and no doggie odor. Today in Australia they sometimes call them Cobberdogs. We use only the top quality Australian and American multigenerational lines in our breeding program. We take health testing seriously, and were among the first to test hips and elbows in many lines coming out of Australia. And we are absolutely thrilled with the outcome! Although we cannot foresee every problem that could present itself, we are doing all we can to minimize the chances of health problems in our doodles. We also offer a two-year health guarantee against genetic health issues to give you peace of mind. The foundation of our Australian Labradoodle breeding stock, Macey, was purchased in whelp from Tegan Park in Australia. She blessed us with gorgeous chocolate and cream labradoodle babies and has since retired. Two of her chocolate offspring, Kona and Bella, became the foundation of our breeding stock. By cataloging helpful information about the breed and offering networking services to breeders and owners, we promote responsible dog companionship and strive to make a positive difference in the Australian Labradoodle community. All purebred dogs began by crossbreeding dogs of two or more different breeds to achieve desirable traits. Dogs displaying those traits were bred to each other to continue the breed development. This has been going on for hundreds of years. The development of the Australian Labradoodle is no different. Forward thinking breeders in Australia began breeding these labradoodles to a number of other dog breeds in an effort to produce litters with consistent conformation, coat type, and temperament. Most often the English Cocker Spaniel and American Cocker Spaniel were the breeds used with the labradoodle, however, it is reported that a few other dog breeds were also introduced into certain early lines. It is the combination of all these breeds that make up what we call the Australian Labradoodle today. The Australian Labradoodle is a purpose bred dog, with its beginnings as a service dog. Today it is also sought out as a family companion especially for those who suffer from allergies or prefer its non-shedding qualities. Here in the USA, the Australian Labradoodle Association of America ALAA has been monitoring the development of this breed by maintaining a database of pedigrees and health testing of registered dogs for almost twenty years. While the Australian Labradoodle is not considered an AKC recognized breed, we do have a breed standard that conscientious breeders work towards. We have elected to keep our stud books open which means we allow for the development of new lines using registered Labradors, Poodles and Cocker Spaniels in an effort to expand our gene pool and keep inbreeding to a minimum. These new lines are then bred into existing lines that date back to the founding dogs from Australia. This of course is an option for breeders and there are many who are only working with descendants of the dogs from Australia while others have dogs that are a combination of old and new lines. It is our breed standard and our pedigree database that dictates the breed development and breeders choose pairings to improve temperament, coat and structure working within the guidelines set out by the ALAA. The ALAA has made extensive efforts to track and verify the pedigrees of our registered dogs, therefore, an ALAA verified pedigree is the only true identifier of an Australian Labradoodle. Find an Australian Labradoodle. Irish Water Spaniel. Australian Labradoodle Breeds These breeds are selectively mixed together to create a dog with a winning temperament. But also with a low-shedding coat. Australian Labradoodles have been bred this way since the s. Even now, breeders are striving to make a consistent set of breed-specific traits. They hope these can be reliably passed down from one generation to the next. The breed standard was introduced in .And many enthusiasts hope they will eventually be recognized as a breed in their own right. Fun Fact! And of those 31, 29 became guide dogs. Pretty impressive for the first-ever batch of this brand-new mix. Australian Labradoodle Size Australian Labradoodles full grown can reach around 24 inches tall and weigh about 77 lbs. This will be slightly more for males on average than for females. Doodle Coats and Colors They can have one of two coat types. Either fleece-textured or wool-textured. They are often described as teddy bear-like. And this certainly adds to their appeal! Fleece-textured coats are soft and either straight or wavy. They can also have spiral-shaped curls. Wool-textured coats feel—you guessed it! There are loads of different Australian Labradoodle colors! Some of the most popular include black, red, white, apricot, caramel and even parti patterns. Grooming Whether your Australian Labradoodle has a fleece- or wool-textured coat, they will need regular brushing. Usually around once a week. You might find it useful to enlist a professional groomer. When grooming, be sure to check your pup;s eyes and ears. Australian Labradoodle Temperament Australian Labradoodles are gentle, loyal, and sociable. They are not aggressive and are very good with children. Plus, they are intelligent and quick to learn. In fact, they are widely used as therapy and service dogs. Naturally playful, they enjoy time with their human families. But they should not be left alone or in crates for too long. Also, Australian Labradoodles are active dogs. They need a large amount of daily activity. At least minutes is ideal. And as a result, relatively easy to train. And puppies that are socialized early are less likely to display behavioral problems later on. Research shows that positive, rewards-based training is more effective than punishment-based training. In fact, punishments negatively affect behavior. This will help prevent weight problems. Some evidence suggests mixed-breed dogs experience fewer inherited disorders than their purebred counterparts. The limited gene pools of purebreds can cause a number of health-related issues. This is due to years of inbreeding. They may still inherit certain health conditions from either parent. An Australian Labradoodle is a great fit if you have children or other pets. They tend to be calmer than the standard Labradoodle. Early socialization and consistent rewards-based training will help your Australian Labradoodle become a great people-pleaser. But, if you work away from home for long hours, this pup may not be the best choice.

BOAS - do you know what it means for your dog? Although several brachcephalic breeds, such as the Bulldog, were initially selected for use in fighting, today they are more commonly seen as a popular companion animal. This may be explained by the fact that a short nose makes a dog look more human-like, with large, round, wide set eyes and rounded faces thought to be instinctively attractive to humans. These juvenile facial features are a form of paedomorphism, whereby juvenile morphological features are retained in adult animals; which in the case of the dog has been driven by artificial selection for these traits in closed breeding populations. Selection for a brachycephalic head shape to satisfy our human preferences has come at a cost for the dogs concerned who can suffer from restricted breathing. The signs of this are shortness of breath, snoring, wheezing, gagging, regurgitation, and exercise intolerance. BOAS may not be fully evident in young puppies, but clear signs may be seen as the puppies develop into adult dogs. Anatomical abnormalities seen in many of these breeds are believed to be directly related to their skull conformation shape. This happens because the soft tissue in the mouth and larynx is crammed into the reduced skeletal space. The soft tissue partially blocks the larynx and restricts the passage of air. In addition, the nostrils of brachycephalic dogs are narrowed stenotic nares due to lack of development. These abnormalities encourage complete collapse of the airways laryngeal collapse. Clinical signs are often progressive, with dogs often deteriorating over time. Prognosis also worsens with time, as the later stages of laryngeal collapse are very difficult to surgically improve — in some cases necessitating permanent tracheostomy. The dog is struggling to breathe and therefore cannot enjoy some of the ordinary doggy pleasures such as play or healthy walks. They struggle to effectively cool down and often seek cool surfaces to lie on. They will also adopt a splayed-out, stretched neck posture to aid them in cooling and breathing. Dogs are unable to sweat but pant instead to cool down. Normal dogs have a large surface area within the nose, which contains an array of delicate turbinates. In brachycephalic dogs, however, the nasal conchae are too small and air can barely pass through them. This results in severely impaired thermoregulation. For this reason, brachycephalic dogs are particularly sensitive to warm temperatures and often require many hours to recover from exercise. Diagnosis of BOAS by physical examination requires an anaesthetic and then surgical resection of the soft palate and reshaping of the nostrils. Anaesthesia itself is high risk in brachycephalic breeds and these procedures are invasive and expensive. It is important that informed decisions are made when choosing a breed and encouragement given to select a dog based on health rather than appearance. Consider this before choosing a brachycephalic dog: BOAS has potentially severe welfare implications for large numbers of dogs. It will do so generation after generation unless dogs selected for breeding have less extreme physical features. The effects can be of long duration, affecting a dog throughout its life. Potential dog owners who choose a brachycephalic breed are contributing to this welfare problem. Potential dog owners who insist on a less extreme type of conformation for their pet will be helping to restore a dog breed to its earlier type.

It was in when Golden Retrievers first arrived in Canada. The breed was only officially recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club CKC in but it is believed that Canadian Golden Retrievers were already bred and developed years before. Nevertheless, the official breeding and modification of the Canadian Golden Retriever based on preferences in Canada started after the breed was listed on the CKC studbook. This is the reason why this type of Goldens is more preferred on CKC sponsored events. The CKC describes the general appearance of the Canadian Golden Retriever as a balanced, symmetrical, powerful, and active dog that displays self-confidence and a kindly and alert expression. The heads of Canadian Golden Retrievers are broad and well defined. Their eyes are well set apart with close-fitting dark eye rims. The eye color is preferably dark brown and no lighter than the shade of the coat. The ears should be hanging flat against the head with the tips slightly below the jaws. The topline or back of these Goldens should be leveled from the withers to the croup, same with the English Goldens. Their neck should be muscular and sturdy with an untrimmed ruff. They also have a slightly curved tail similar to American Golden Retrievers. The coat of Canadian Golden Retrievers can either be straight or wavy. Nevertheless, the texture of their fur should not be too hard nor too silky. They can come in any of the lustrous shades of gold. A few white marks on the chest are permissible but considered undesirable. The feathering on the back of the forelegs should be moderate but heavier in front of the neck, behind the thighs, and in the underside of the tail. Nevertheless, the overall amount of feathering should be lesser compared to the other two variants. The CKC standard considers any white markings aside from few hairs on the chest as faults, including low hound-like earsets. Deviation of more than one inch in height would also result in disqualification. When you hear about Golden Retrievers, you probably think about large dogs. Well, in general, Goldens have a stocky and heavy build which is why they belong to the large breed category. However, is this also true for Canadian Golden Retrievers? The short answer is yes. The weight of male Canadian Goldens ranges between 65 and 75 pounds while the female Canadian Golden Retrievers fall between 60 and 70 pounds. The Canadian Golden Retriever is known to outgrow the other variants for a few inches, making them the largest among the Golden variations. The final size and growth of each Golden, regardless of its type, will be influenced by its diet, lifestyle, and health condition. Most Canadian Golden Retrievers reach adulthood at the age of 16 months. But this does not mean that their growth will completely halt. Some may still gain a few inches and pounds as they grow old. It would be safe to say that the final size and growth of a Canadian Golden can be determined after it turns two years old. If you look at the written standards, you will not see the breed name Canadian Golden Retriever nor any other variety of the breed. However, this is not to say that the Canadian and other Golden Retriever types cannot be registered or are not legitimate Golden Retrievers. It just means that major kennel clubs consider all of the varieties of the Golden Retriever as one single breed. Hence, you can have your Canadian Golden Retriever participate in conformation and sporting events organized by any of the mentioned kennel clubs. One thing to note, though, is that some kennel clubs and judges favor Golden Retrievers which are considered more desirable in certain regions or countries. There are also few points in each kennel club standard that are slightly different from what other kennel clubs state. Say, for example, CKC allows a coat color in any of the lustrous shades of gold. It does not restrict a light or dark color. The AKC, on the other hand, considers extremely pale and extremely dark shades as undesirables. They excel as working dogs and companion pets. They can also serve as excellent guard dogs for your family and properties. They are the perfect pooch to have at home! With the Family: Canadian Golden Retrievers are affectionate towards their family members. They are born to please their owners. They are also incredibly gentle and calm with children and they know when to act as a guard dog. Their loyalty to their family members is of no question. With Other Pets: Canadian Goldens are also known to be calm and friendly with other pets especially if they have grown along with them. While they might playfully chase smaller pets from time to time as their hunting instinct kicks in, this behavior is manageable. They are considered to be one of the easiest dogs to train with their intelligence. With Strangers: These Canadian Goldens know how to interact with strangers. They are friendly towards other people but can also become protective when they sense danger. Their sheer weight, smartness, and loyalty can be useful traits for a guard dog. On a side note, you should understand that the behaviors and demeanors discussed are generally observed among Canadian Goldens. The individual personality and temperament of each Canadian Golden Retriever will vary as they are influenced by their environment and training. Canadian Golden Retrievers must be exposed to early socialization to familiarize themselves with people and pets while stimulating their senses. Canadian Golden Retrievers can live for 10 to 12 years on average. However, each dog can live longer or shorter than the average depending on their nutrition, health condition, and lifestyle. Unfortunately, Canadian Golden Retrievers can be susceptible to common health issues although they are considered to be healthy dogs in general. Some of these health issues are manageable and can be treated. Here are the common health issues that your Canadian Golden Retriever could suffer from: Hip Dysplasia: This joint disease is pretty common for large dog breeds such as the Canadian Golden Retriever. It occurs when the hip joint abnormally develops making it unfit for the hip socket. When this happens, the ball joint grinds roughly instead of sliding smoothly against the socket which causes pain. Obesity: It is not uncommon for Canadian Golden Retrievers to become overweight especially if they have a poor diet or they lack physical activities. This condition should be given immediate attention as it can lead to worse health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease if neglected. Cancer: Unfortunately, the Golden Retriever including all of its variety is one of the many breeds which have a high risk of acquiring cancer. Some of the cancers Goldens are prone to include hemangiosarcoma , mast cell tumors , melanoma , lymphoma , and bone cancer. Luxating Patella: This condition occurs when the kneecap dislocates from its normal alignment. Normally, dogs can reposition their knee caps by extending their legs. However, a more serious degree of luxation can lead to the deterioration of ligaments. Most of the diseases mentioned are manageable if not treatable. The best way you can ensure that your Canadian Golden Retriever will grow healthy is by providing it with a nutritious diet and engaging it in an active lifestyle. You should also bring them to the vet regularly for check-ups and preventive medications. In addition, a Canadian Golden Retriever that is bred by a reputable breeder will likely be more expensive as they factor in their reputation, breeding expenses, and pedigree registration. Nevertheless, buying an expensive puppy from a professional breeder can be deemed worthy as it could mean lesser hospital and medical bills in the future. But wait, the expenses do not stop right after you bought your puppy! You still need to cash out a few hundred bucks in providing the essential supplies for your Canadian Golden Retriever puppy. Before even picking up your doggo from the breeder, you should already have prepared its food supplies, beddings, bowls, toys, grooming kit, leash, and other pet accessories. However, you should be careful not to fall under the schemes of puppy mills and backyard breeders. You should only buy a Canadian Golden pup from reputable and professional breeders. They have committed themselves to producing multi-generational quality Golden Retrievers that conform to the Canadian and American standards. Their Goldens have already won more than Canadian and American championship titles. They regularly have American and English-cream Golden puppies available. You might also find a Canadian Golden Retriever puppy from their litter occasionally. They have been breeding Golden Retrievers since .Adopting a Canadian Golden Retriever is also a great option especially if you are not after conformation or show quality. Many Canadian Goldens end up in shelters and rescues day by day for various reasons. If you opt to adopt, you will not only save a few hundred bucks but also save a poor soul. This rescue ranks first on our list of the best Golden Retriever rescues in the United States. They have already rehomed more than 5, dogs including Canadian Golden Retrievers. They ensure that all of the dogs they rescue end up in a forever loving home. Occasionally, they rescue Canadian Golden Retrievers as well as other Golden varieties. One or both of this puppy's parents have undergone genetic testing. One or both of this puppy's parents are hip certified. One or both of this puppy's parents is OFA Heart certified. This puppy has had early neurological stimulation exercises. It is also important to understand there are different types of golden retrievers which may affect pricing. For example, if you decide to choose the lowest golden retriever cost option, those puppies almost never have the necessary 3rd-party assurances or veterinarian procedures like dewormings, vaccinations, health-tested parents, or a thorough health checkup. These missing costs and services will be your responsibility, making the total cost ultimately the same. Not to mention the added stress on you these extra expenses and issues create! Adopting vs. Please note that depending on the shelter, you may have to pay additional costs for your Golden certain shots and procedures. Depending on if the golden retriever is a boy or a girl may affect the price as well. Some male vs female golden retriever differences may make you prefer one over the other. This will ultimately save you time and money on your golden retriever price because breeders often pay lower veterinary rates than individuals do. Distemper, for example, is a highly contagious disease that attacks the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and nervous systems of dogs. Unfortunately, there is no cure — just a lot of expenses and stress which really adds to the overall cost of your Golden Retriever puppy. It is wise to ask your vet for guidance on this decision. Talk with your vet about the procedure, when you should get it done, and how much it might cost. Dental Care for Your Golden Retriever Golden Retrievers, like many dogs, can be prone to dental issues such as plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. These cleanings typically involve scaling, polishing, and potentially extractions if necessary. Some insurance providers offer optional dental coverage as an add-on or as part of more comprehensive plans. If dental coverage is included in the policy, it typically covers a portion of the costs associated with dental cleanings, extractions, and other necessary dental treatments. This typically includes services such as bathing, brushing, trimming, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and sometimes additional services like de-shedding or dematting. Some groomers may offer package deals or discounts for regular appointments or bundled services. This monthly expense may seem like an additional cost, but it can be a worthwhile investment when considering the potential savings on veterinary bills for treatments, surgeries, and medications. By having pet insurance in place, you can ensure that your Golden Retriever receives the necessary care without straining your finances in the event of unexpected health issues. Puppy Training and Socialization Classes Attending puppy training and socialization classes is highly recommended for the comprehensive development of your Golden puppy. These classes provide structured learning environments, social interaction, and essential obedience training. By enrolling your Golden Retriever puppy in these classes, you ensure they receive the necessary foundation for good behavior, social skills, and overall well-being. The cost for food will depend on the size, age, and activity level of your companion. Fortunately, the cheaper brands of dog food can be just as good as the more premium brands as long as they meet the standards of AAFCO and are made with minimal processing. When making your decision, make sure to avoid artificial ingredients and preservatives where you can, since they could cause health problems for your dog.

Their sleeping needs will decrease with age. With puppies, it is very normal to sleep quite a bit and to be extremely active while awake. It is normal for Poodles to take naps. Dogs that are left home alone during the day for more than 3 hours will usually take many more naps than ones that have companionship during the day. Senior Poodles - Senior dogs will sleep more often and naps will increase as the dog grows older. A Toy Poodle is considered to be a senior at the age of 10, a Miniature Poodle at the age of years and a Standard Poodle at 7 years old.

Life Span Did You Know? The Poodle is one of the oldest dog breeds and was originally developed in Germany to hunt waterfowl. The Poodle may have originated in Germany, but they are much-loved by the French. So much so that the Poodle is the national dog of France. The Miniature Poodle is slightly more recent. This Mini version likely originated in France. The Mini Poodle has all of the same characteristics as a Standard Poodle; they just come in a smaller package. The Miniature Poodle is one of the smartest dog breeds. On top of their intelligence, they are also known to have a cheerful disposition and a sensitive nature. They get along great with children. Due to their small size, they can be easily injured by rough play or accidental falls that can happen with younger children. Because of this, they may be better suited to a home with older children. Younger children should be fine as long as they are taught how to properly interact with a small dog and interactions between young kids and puppies are closely supervised. Although they are considered part of the Non-Sporting Group, some facts about Miniature Poodles are that they are versatile and athletic dogs that are also quite playful. Provided they are well-socialized, they get along well with other dogs and tend to do well with strangers. They do tend to be protective of their home and can be suspicious of strangers coming up on the property. They are known to bark to alert you of strangers coming to the house. This makes them a good watchdog, but overall, they are more interested in making friends. This dog breed is highly adaptable. The Miniature Poodle does well in any type of home, including apartments, and fits in with just about any family type. They do well in most climates, but, as with many dog breeds, they are sensitive to heat and extreme cold. Because Mini Poodles are people-oriented, they do not like being left alone and will not handle being left alone for long periods of time very well.

The 7 Best Harnesses For Bulldogs October 22, by Kyle Battis Bulldogs have a different body build when compared to other dogs owing to their short legs and wide shoulders. As a result, a bulldog harness has unique dimensions. In this article, I set out to compare different harnesses and find out the best English bulldog harness. Read the sections that follow below for more information about my findings. What you should know about Harnesses for bulldogs Bulldogs are short and their compact body structure makes their breathing system unique. They have necks and trachea that are shorter as compared to other dog breeds. In this regard, every bulldog owner should use a harness that makes it easy for their bulldog to breathe. Why a dog harness is a better option to restrain your bulldog over a leash Dogs get excited sometimes and need restraining. A harness distributes the force used to restrain the dog because it goes over the shoulders and under the neck. Bulldogs have significantly more body energy and since their necks are thick, fitting a collar on them might end up chocking them. Choosing a lose fitting collar presents another problem. Because of the short nose of the bulldog, a loosely fitted collar tends to fall off. This makes collars unsuitable for restraining bulldogs. Types of bulldog harnesses A harness offers comfort to the dog due to the way it fits around the neck and shoulders. It also gives the owner a sure way of controlling their bulldog without chances of slipping off. Furthermore, a harness boosts confidence on shy dogs because of the way it fits and makes the dog more receptive to commands. When selecting a harness for my bulldog, I found it easier to take the dog with me so that I could test a few harnesses and see how my bulldog responded to each type of harness. I noticed that this harness made my dog uncomfortable after a while because he is not used to such restrictions. Since my aim was to find a harness that allows me to control my dog and offer enough comfort to him while at it, I discarded this harness. Maybe dog owners whose dogs get out of hand frequently can find better use for it. Mobility harness Next, we tried the mobility harness and I found that this was the perfect English bulldog harness. The mobility bulldog harness comes in a variety of options with some having hip-lift handles while others have a back handle.

That is why you need to take the dog with you when selecting a harness. Step-in Harness A step in harness easily fits on the dog.

Step-in harnesses fit well over small dogs but you can also find a few that will fit big dogs. Roman harness The Roman harness has two pieces that allow you to strap in the dog over the shoulders and under the neck. Fitting the Roman harness over a bulldog is much more challenging than the step-in harness. However, it gives the owner more control and feels more comfortable on the dog. The dog can easily escape from a loosely fitted harness while a harness that is too tight might hurt the dog. A good way to measure the optimum fit is putting two fingers under the harness. Perfectly fitted harnesses should not allow a third finger. Also remember to pick a harness that is made of durable material. The material used to make the harness should also be easy to clean.

Whether you just brought a new English Bulldog puppy into your life, or adopted from a bullie rescue — You need to learn about harnesses. Finding a correctly fitted bulldog harness can be a challenge. English bulldogs are a unique breed, for so many reasons. One of which is their short and condensed stature. This can lead to frustration and difficulty in finding the best fitting harness for bulldogs. Brachycephalic breeds like English and French bulldogs have smushed faces and their famous underbite. But they also have broad shoulders, deep chests, and stocky frames. Because of these physical characteristics, bullies are difficult to fit for harnesses. You may wonder why a pet owner would buy a harness, instead of just a regular collar. Many dogs can successfully wear collars made from leather, nylon, or even sometimes chrome. Note: This page includes affiliate links — which means I may receive some sort of compensation at no cost to you if you sign up or make a purchase through these links. Some pet owners and trainers do very well with them. However, I would never recommend using a choke collar on a bulldog, or any brachycephalic breed. Their tracheas are typically more narrow than other types of dogs. Also, while their esophagus is essentially the same length as other breeds, they are more compressed in a bulldog. Their short muzzles cause their airways to collapse a bit, sort of like an accordion. Which can be exacerbated by strenuous activity, warm weather, and even obesity. So if the bulldog already has a hard time breathing, why would anyone want to restrict their airway any further? Any possibility of a bulldog pulling against a collar can be harmful. Why even take that kind of risk by putting a collar on your bullie? How Collars Can Affect Bulldog Safety In addition, stubborn bulldogs who pull in the opposite direction can have their share of collar issues as well. Since bulldogs tend to have thicker necks, their collars can tend to be roughly the same circumference as their heads. As opposed to other dog breeds, who have slimmer necks in proportion to their heads. Especially when it comes to younger pups, who tend to be unpredictable and may have less training. Ask me how I know this — I have a vivid recollection of when my first bulldog was a puppy. She backed right out of here leather collar when I was taking her outside for a walk. And she started running around the parking lot where I lived, as I desperately chased her. Luckily, two of my neighbors helped me catch her, and I brought her safely back inside. Instead, the force is spread evenly over her broad chest. There are many training harnesses available to assist with bulldog puppy training or any active dog who has a propensity for jumping. No pull harnesses help support training activities and defer your bullie from pulling away from you. If you have a bulldog, then you know how stubborn they can be. At times, they will plant their paws squarely into the ground, refusing to budge. But with a properly fitted no pull harness, you can help your bulldog to walk confidently by your side. These are reviews based on my experience as a bulldog owner, over the past two decades. The links below also will bring you to the Amazon product page for each dog harness. To be clear, these are from my experiences, as well as reviews that these harnesses have received online through Amazon. However, I have not tried every single English Bulldog harness in existence. So therefore, please keep in mind there might be other great ones out there. But from my own personal experience, here are some of the best harnesses I have used with my bulldogs, and gladly recommend to others. And, it goes without saying, please do your own homework. If your bulldog has special needs or different proportions from the norm, be sure to choose the harness that is best for your particular situation. Personally, I think this can be the crucial timeframe for finding the right harness for your bulldog. Also, getting your English Bulldog accustomed to wearing a harness when they are young is always a good idea. Otherwise, you may encounter a struggle when they are older. My male bulldog has always been great about wearing his harness and walking on leash. Any time we left the house, he needed to be fully equipped and harnessed. Putting a Harness on a Fussy Dog On the other hand, our younger girl is not as comfortable with wearing her harness. By the time we brought her home, we were living in a house with a fenced-in yard. So she grew up being leash- and harness-free the majority of the time. We would only put a harness on her when going to the vet, training, or any other outing. She eventually concedes, but not as quickly or amiably as my bullie boy. But she is also a lot sassier than he is, in general.
