Devmadain Kennel - Puppy Info

Have you considered the average lifespan of a dog is 10-15 years? This is a long-term commitment. Appropriately training a puppy can take several hours a day. Puppies are, in fact, babies and require much of the same attention. They wake in the middle of the night to have a variety of needs met. In hindsight, this time doesn’t last long but that’s hard to remember at 3a.m. Training a puppy beyond its undesirable behaviors is rewarding but it is hard work. Carpets will get soiled, items may be chewed, and did I mention you will be up in the middle of the night at least in the beginning.

The temperament of a Labradoodle is well-suited for family living. Is the family well-suited for a Labradoodle? Consider the demands of your family members and their schedules. Time for your puppy and eventually your adult dog is very important.

Beyond the purchase price of your puppy, there are costs to consider. Vet fees, food/treats, licensing, and grooming can add up. You are making a time commitment as well as a financial commitment. While all dogs need attention and companionship, Labradoodles demand your love and affection. Labradoodles are extremely intelligent and they seem to know how to get your attention when they feel left alone. Mischief is a surefire attention getter. Labradoodles enjoy playing outdoors, but they are indoor dogs that love being with their family. Reviewing these points may help you determine if this is the right time for you to add a dog to your family and if this is the right dog for you!

Grooming your Labradoodle depends greatly on the coat type of your dog. Some doodles don't require bathing as most have low to no doggie odor. Some coats will mat, some will shed and all should be brushed regularly. Your groomer can recommend a quality nail clipper if you choose to
