Labradoodle advice

[fordybee]

Hi, we are considering getting a dog and are keen on labradoodles, at least on paper. But we don't know anyone with one, nor do we have any breeder recommendations. Does anyone have a doodle and is willing to meet (with dog) for a walk / chat in the park or got any advice on how best to embark on this....

Thanks!

I have a big doodle.

But when I take it out at the park, people seem to shout.

I have two different friends with them and they (the dogs, not the friends) have grown very big and very very energetic

[fordybee]

Thanks Lynne, you can get different sizes - standard are the big ones and we're thinking more medium. Will be doing some careful checking of breeders and their dogs re temperament as well. Thanks for your post.

Please consider a rescue dog.

Every Labradoodle I have ever met has been a fruitcake! Fun though.

[Lynne]

Yes, I think my "very energetic" was code for insane and incapable of sitting still.

[KidKruger]

This is a current 'fashion' of dog breed, right ?

[Lynne]

Yes.Basically it's an extremely expensive mongrel

[Jess85]

They are bigger than people may expect and the fruitcake comparison seems fitting! Lovely dogs but hard work

Look up Doodle Trust, very informative.

If you like the 'fruitcake' element but would prefer a smaller dog, consider a Cockerpoo, mad as a box of frogs...

My Cockerpoo is actually a dream!
