The Top 5 Reasons to Own A Doodle
1) Labradoodles and Goldendoodles alike make
wonderful additions to one’s family. They are
known to possess the gentle and sweet disposition
of the Retrievers combined with the intelligence
and allergy friendly coat of the Poodle.
Labradoodle and Goldendoodles are great with
children and are easily trained. They are eager to
please and tend to go with the flow of family life…
they just blend right in!
2) If you suffer from allergies but want a dog, a
Doodle may be the breed for you! Many people
suffer from pet allergies and are unable to be near
a dog, let alone own their own. It is not the dog fur
that allergy sufferers are allergic to, but actually
the dander that clings to the dog’s fur. Doodles have no to low shedding coats which tend to be allergy
friendly due to the lower percentage of dander their coats contain as
compared to other breeds. One should be aware that not
every allergy sufferer will be able to tolerate the
Doodle but most find them either completely
allergy friendly and/or tolerable. They are a new
alternative for those who never thought it possible
to have a dog as a pet.
3) No to low shed coats are a plus! It is important to
find a coat type that suits your style. Doodle coats
vary in their ability to shed or not to shed. First
cross (F1) Doodles can vary from no to heavy
shedding coats. Backcross Doodles (F1b) tend to be
much more allergy friendly with no to low shed
coats. Multi-Gen Doodles tend to be non-shedding
to very light shedding dogs due to the consistency
of coat types within the Multi-Gen lineage. Multi-
Gen Doodles tend to be the best bet for the person
with allergies or someone wanting a non-shedding
dog.
4) Doodles get along well with other animals. Due to
their wonderful dispositions, Doodles tend to get
along with other animals and family pets. When
bringing a new pet into any family scenario in
which other pets are involved, there may always be
a few adjustments here and there that need to be
made. With Doodles, the transition time is usually
relatively short, as they seem to come right into
their new environment already well adjusted and
ready to join their new pack.
5) Doodles are unique! You will find that wherever
your Doodle goes people will show interest.
Because Doodles are still a relatively new breed in
the states, you don’t run into a Doodle everyday.
People will be curious and very interested in your
Doodle. It seems that regardless of where I take
our Doodles, they are constantly the topic of
discussion due to their unique look and adorable
personalities!
