Things to know when considering an Australian Labradoole Puppy   Coat Care      The coat will be low to non-shedding.  They don't make oil so no doggy smell or dirt build up on the coat.  They generally smell like a well loved teddy bear!      I have good sucess at placing dogs with familes with allergies.       Don't bath too often because you will strip the natural oil from the coat and leave your doodle with itchy skin.  Use only gental shampoo.     General Matinance:  Keeping hair trimmed around eyes at least every 4-6 weeks.  (You can do this yourself.)                                         Keeping ears hair free and dry.  Clean once a week and follow with a drying solution.  Truley I clean less often but once a week would be a good practice    Coat will grow to a lenght of about 3-5 inches.  You will want to have your doodle groomed every 3-6 months to keep it easy to maintain and matt free.                                        At about 7 months your puppies adult coat will come in and this is a good time to have the dog groomed for the first time by a professional (I do my own grooming)                                        A long coat is beautiful but will require more brushing to keep it matt free and a longer drying time when wet                                        A short coat will require no brushing and dries more quickly when wet.   Health Issues     Ears    Genetic Isses - We screen all of our breeding dogs to ensure your puppy will live a long healthy life                              Basicly the Australin Labradoodle can be affected by any genetic dieaser that affects Labs or Pooles                              We test VwD, CERF, PRA, Hips, Elbows, Thyroid, Temperment and General Confirmation of our parent dogs.  (We spend well over $1,000 testing each of our breeding dogs and some test such as eyes a thyroid are tested through the dogs breeding career.) What will you need for your puppy        Create        Collar        Toys        Brush   How big will they get?     Herea are some picutres and sizes to help you understand.  We mainlty breed medium dogs ranging in size from 17" with the majority of our dogs 18"-20"  Each puppy has a different genetic make up so I can only give my best estimate for size and actuall adult coat type.    Jazz is 17"   Treasure is 19"    Neala is 19"
