For anyone who's ever had a dog, as Puppies they're adorable, sweet, and oh so cuddly.
A Labradoodle puppy is yours to work with a virtual clean slate to form and fit perfectly into your home life. Your family will be the one they learn from, as long as you keep your part of the bargain.
Before you go charging off to get that puppy, think about the advantages of choosing a grown dog. Mature dogs are less expensive, can be found through many organizations, and are less expensive to maintain, since their puppy shots and worming's are well behind them.
If you choose carefully, you could find one already house-broken, and know some basic obedience as well.
So why is it more people don't consider an adult dog? The major reason is many people believe a recycled dog won't bond as well with their family as a puppy. That can happen if you plan on keeping your dog in a barren backyard with little or no human contact.
However if you welcome the adult dog into your life, they're yours as much as any puppy you take at eight weeks Some people speculate the bond is tighter because an adult dog has seen the world and knows how lucky they are.
A Labradoodle puppy can be a good choice as long as you have the time, patience, and flexibility - as well as sense of humor - to deal with puppyhood and adolescence. There are no short-cuts to raising a puppy - it's 5 a.m. walks and chewed shoes, numerous hours of play and many hours of training.
Puppyhood is a wonderful trip, full of surprises and delights, but one you shouldn't take if you don't have the time. If you don't put in the time, you get a dog who drives you nuts or one you'll drive to the nearest shelter when you can't stand them any longer.
Grown dogs unfortunately have a bad reputation and more often than not, its undeserved. Isn't an adult dog up for adoption another persons problem? Is adopting them a good idea? Well, it depends on the dog. Here's the real plus: While there's an adjustment period in any canine relationship, it's shorter with a grown dog.
A grown dog is beyond adolescence and is settled, and for good or for bad, into their adult personality. Now that does not mean they can't be trained - all dogs, young or old, benefit from training. However, it does mean you aren't able to influence their personality as much.
If you've got a puppy with shy or aggressive tendencies, you can do things to help them before a problem arises. With a shy or aggressive adult dog, change is more challenging.
