Labradoodles are a cross-breed between Labrador Retrievers and Poodles. Unlike other cross-breeds, Labradoodles were very carefully cross-bred (in Australia) to produce a dog that had the service qualities of a Labrador Retriever with the tight, hypo-allergenic coat qualities of a Poodle. The resulting breed was intended as a service dog that could live in the home of people that suffered from allergies.

Over time, Australian breeders have carefully experimented with breeding to produce healthy, intelligent, hardy dogs with ideal coat quality. They've done extensive genetic testing to eliminate hereditary illnesses or problems. Along the way, Australian breeders added other dog breeds (Irish Water Spaniel, Curly Coat Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, and American Cocker Spaniel) into the mix to further infuse the breeding lines with the desirable characteristics of good health, intelligence, and hypo-allergenic coat.

When a Labradoodle breeder states that they offer Australian Labradoodles, that means their original stock was an Australian Labradoodle - a dog that is multi-generational Labradoodle with careful breeding to ensure strong, healthy dogs.

American Labradoodles have a different approach to breeding. American Labradoodles are a cross between Labradors and Poodles. These dogs don't have the multi-generational approach that eliminates some of the unwanted characteristics. For instance, if you have a first generation American Labradoodle (50% Poodle/50%Labrador), you have a 50/50 chance of getting a dog that has a shedding coat, instead of the tight curly non-shedding coat.

American Labradoodles breeders also don't believe in infusing other breeds into their breeding lines. While Australian Labradoodles added other breeds to incorporate the ideal characteristics and make the breed stronger, American Labradoodle breeders insist on only mixing the two breeds. This does increase the possibility of genetic disease.

Why choose between an Australian Labradoodle and an American Labradoodle? The biggest reason for selecting an Australian Labradoodle is because you want a Labradoodle that has the physical characteristics that the original Australian Labradoodle breeders were striving towards - extremely smart dogs that could be used for service, with a tight, non-shedding coat. Both breeders can produce healthy dogs - but Australian Labradoodles go back many generations with extensive genetic testing to eliminate unfavorable characteristics and health problems.

When it comes time to choosing a Labradoodle, get to know the breeder and their philosophy towards these special dogs. Quality breeders are committed to producing healthy, beautiful dogs that deserve to be part of loving and caring families.

Dog Breeds List
Exeter tables dog-restriction measure
A controversial ordinance that would have put severe restrictions on seven breeds of dogs was tabled by the Exeter City Council on Tuesday night during a standing-room-only session in council chambers.

Group: Sporting

Weight: male: about 50, female: about 40 lbs

Height: male: 19-21, female 18-20 inches

Overview

The first spaniels started appearing during the early 1600s, and the Cocker and Springer Spaniels were seen as the same breed until the 1800s. The Cocker Spaniels were considered to be 25 lbs and used for woodcock, and the English Springers were measured at about 45 lbs and their purpose was to spring a game bird into the air so that a hawk could retrieve it. Today, Springer Spaniels flush and retrieve their game.

Temperament

The English Springer Spaniel is a friendly, outgoing and kind dog. They are brave, highly intelligent and also earnest. The English Springer Spaniel loves people and get along well with children. The English Springer Spaniel flourishes on human attention and likes to be with their families as much as possible. These dogs might become destructive and bark excessively when left alone for too long. The Springer Spaniel likes other pets, but may not be tolerant of same sex dogs. They are not appropriate for homes with pet birds.

Care

The field-type Springer is quite easy to maintain, and if they are brushed often with a firm hair brush, their coats will stay in a good condition. The bench-type Springer requires some more attention. Both of these types will need to be bathed and dry shampooed, but not too often. Tit is also important to check their ears often for infections. Springer Spaniels with longer coats will mat if not brushed enough. The hair on their paws should also be trimmed to stop burrs from becoming fixed. The Spaniels with longer coats will pick up burrs and branches easily, and should be combed after they have been outside. This is an average shedding breed, but the do shed constantly.

Training

English Springer Spaniels will profit from early on thorough socialisation and obedience training. It is important that handlers treat these dogs with purpose and fairness, and that their training sessions have enough praise and consistency. This breed will also stand out in agility, fly-ball, tracking, retrieving and obedience. The Springer Spaniel is a very eager hunting dog that also has the capacity to be an excellent therapy dog.

Health problems

English Springer Spaniel is prone to a few hereditary defects and these include hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, retinal dysplasia, epilepsy and Phosphofructokinase deficiency which are a blood disorder. Springer Spaniels are also likely to have problems with ear infections because of their droopy ears. Although not very common, these dogs have a few allergies to food and environment from time to time.
