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. 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 percentage of Poodle within the breed. 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!
