Want a dog or puppy? Think Adoption First!

Before You Buy a New Puppy, Please Consider...

I've had two great dogs in my life. They were both adopted from Animal Shelters. Right now I've got Orbit, a half-poodle, possibly half-shih tzu. Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen?! She was found as a stray and the owners never came to claim her. She's healthy, happy, well-behaved and extremely friendly. Adopting her was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Do you have your heart set on a Labradoodle? If you can't locate one at the Humane Society or Animal Shelter, consider a rescue group that specializes in Labradoodles. I found this Poodle-Mix Rescue on the internet. I'm sure there are others.

Labrador Retrievers are currently the most popular breed of dog in the United States. Correspondingly, Labs and Lab-mixes are the most common dogs in American shelters. If it's the Lab part of the Labradoodle that attracted you to the breed, you can surely find the dog of your dreams up for adoption.

7.5 MILLION unwanted dogs and cats in America are destroyed each year!

The most important thing you can do to help control the pet population is to have your pet spayed or neutered! And please consider adpotion first. Saving a dog from a horrible fate could be one of the best decisions of your life!

The Australian Labradoodle Difference

What is the difference between an Australian Labradoodle and what is sometimes called the American Labradoodle, or, in America, just plain Labradoodle? To better answer this question, here is some information from Tegan Park Labradoodles, breeders of pure Australian Labradoodles:
An Australian Labradoodle or an American Labradoodle?? Many people are quite confused and do not realize they are two entirely different types. An Australian Labradoodle is a new breed that was developed in Australia several years ago by combining a Labrador and a Poodle as a foundation then adding several other breed types to create a breed now known as the Australian Labradoodle. This breed has been invited to prepare for Kennel Club recognition. The American Labradoodle is a cross-breed dog and with all cross-breed dogs some are wonderful and some are a disappointment to the breeder. The American Labradoodle is a Poodle crossed with a Labrador, with the Poodle being the dominant factor. It is like the difference like the German Shepherd and the Australian Shepherd; they are both Shepherds and if you told someone "I have a Shepherd" the first response would be " What Kind"!! Though they are both called Shepherds they are two entirely different types of dogs, the same is for the Labradoodle!
