FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a dog is a decision that will last for years. Below I have collected answers to the questions that I am most often asked by future guardians of our Australian Labradoodles.
1. Is the Australian Labradoodle simply a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle?
NO. The real Australian Labradoodle (especially from multi-generational lines that I deal with) is a breed that has been developed for decades according to a strict breeding plan. Unlike random crossbreeds (so-called "first generation hybrids"), our dogs have a predictable character, coat structure and body type, which is confirmed by registration in the ALFA-Europe organization.
2. Do these dogs really not cause allergies?
The coat of Australian Labradoodles is single-layered (no undercoat) and does not shed, which drastically reduces the amount of allergens in the environment. Statistics show that 98% of people allergic to dog hair do not react to our dogs. However, we always recommend individual contact with the dog before making a decision, because allergy to saliva or dander is an individual matter.
3. What is the process of choosing a puppy for my family?
I choose the puppy for the family, not the other way around. I rely on 49 days of intensive observation and professional temperament tests. My goal is for the dog's energy and character to perfectly match your lifestyle. Appearance (color or gender) is secondary to mental stability and mutual compatibility.
4. What is the difference between Wool and Fleece robes?
- Wool it is more curly and dense (like a poodle's), ideal for severe allergy sufferers.
- Fleece it is soft, wavy and silky to the touch. Both types require regular brushing and professional trimming, but neither of them leaves hair on carpets or clothes.
5. Is Labradoodle suitable for apartment living?
Yes, on one condition: meeting his intellectual and physical needs. They are intelligent working dogs that love cooperation with humans. If you provide him with regular walks, training or sniffing games, he will be a calm and quiet companion at home, regardless of the size.
6. What tests do dogs undergo in your breeding farm?
Health is my absolute priority. All breeding dogs undergo rigorous testing for genetic diseases, hip and elbow dysplasia, and regular eye examinations.
7. Why is socialization so important in the first weeks?
Because as much as 80% of an adult dog's behavior depends on what it experienced as a puppy. In my breeding farm, we use the early neurological stimulation (ENS) program, Shantala massages, and sound and environmental training. We build a foundation of self-confidence on which you will work for years to come.
8. Can I visit the farm before purchasing?
Of course, I encourage you to do so! A personal meeting is a mandatory part of the adoption process. I want to get to know you personally and give you the opportunity to see the conditions in which our dogs grow up - without cages, in the heart of our home.
