One of the most intelligent and sweet dog breeds for anyone to own is the labradoodle. These labradoodle dogs have a great temperament and are even a good pet for people with allergies. These dogs are hypoallergenic, low to no shedding and do not produce a foul doggie odor. The first cross breeding of the labradoodle was in the 70s by an Australian woman named Wally Cochran whose husband had allergies. She wanted to produce a dog breed that would not aggravate her husband’s allergies so she bred a standard Poodle with a Labrador Retriever. Today, labradoodle dogs are a breed of their own and they are one of the most popular designer dogs desired by many dog lovers.

Labrodoodle dogs are highly intelligent, loving, loyal, and sweet as well as great guard dogs. They do very well with obedience training and they are also a very clever breed. If you are looking for a wonderful family dog, then labradoodle dogs are a breed you should consider. These dogs have a life span of around 13 to 15 and will give you many years of love and loyalty. The standard labradoodle stands around 23 to 26 inches in height and weigh about 45 to 77 pounds. Miniatures of the breed stand around 14 to 17 inches in height and weigh about 40 to 55 pounds. The medium sized dogs of this breed stand at around 18 to 21 inches in height and weigh about 45 to 77 pounds.

This breed of dog is commonly very healthy with few health issues unless they are bred poorly or they have congenital health problems. It is always best to try to get a family history when you can before choosing any dog breed. The only health issues labradoodle dogs may have come from the original dogs from which they were cross bred and include such disorders as hip dysplasia, retinol atrophy and patella luxation. If you decide to buy one of these fantastic dogs from labradoodle breeders, you can expect to pay around $800 to $1300 depending on the color and the coat of the dog.
