Question 1

What is a Labradoodles Temperment?

Answer

Labradoodles are beautiful, gentle dogs that are happy, sociable and very clever. They love to play but may vary in energy levels but will adapt easily to their environment. Their affectionate nature makes them very good around people and other animals. Labradoodles are smart, and as such like to be challenged and are easy to train. They’re also very intuitive and sensitive to their family’s emotional state. This awareness is what has also made the Australian Labradoodle an excellent companion dog for people with special needs.

Question 2

What Size does a Labradoodle Grow to?

Answer

We breed miniature, medium and standard Labradoodles. The Australian Labradoodle Association breed standard sizes are as follows: Miniature Height: 35cm – 42cm Weight typically between 7kg & 13kg Medium Height: 43cm – 52cm Weight typically between 13kg & 20kg Standard Height: 53cm – 63cm Weight typically between 23kg & 30kg Heights are measured to wither (from the toe to the shoulder).

Question 3

What kind of Coats do Labradoodles have?

Answer

Australian Labradoodles typically have either a fleece coat or a wool coat. The fleece coat (which can be wavy, or curly) is soft and textured and feels fine, like an angora wool. The wool coat is similar to lambs wool, and is a curly coat, and being wool, can feel slightly coarser to touch.

Question 7

What Paper Work do I get with my Puppy?

Answer

You’ll receive a folder with your puppy containing all of the important information pertaining to your dog including; a signed copy of your adoption agreement, the puppy’s pedigree information, vaccination and desexing certificates, Australian Animal Registry Registration Certificate (including microchip details) and importantly; lots of helpful hints and tips about settling your puppy into their new home, as well as training and grooming information.

Question 8

Are our Dogs kept in Kennels?

Answer

No. Our own dogs live with us in our family home. Our Journey breeding dogs are also brought up in loving homes by our Guardian families as cherished members of their own families. All of the litters are raised in my home and have lots of love and attention and daily cuddles. As they grow older they also have contact with my dogs and visiting guardian dogs.

Question 9

Should I Crate Train?

Answer

We think crate training is a good idea. It provides the dog with its own safe space (bedroom). If done properly, the puppy will learn to enjoy its crate, it will assist with toilet training and provide the puppy with a secure place where it can't get into trouble when you aren't able to supervise him. All Journey puppies have both airline and metal crates in their day and night areas so are already familiar with using them for naps, safe spaces and nighttime sleeping. We highly recommend that a crate with a play pen attached is ready and waiting for the arrival of your new puppy.

Question 10

What is the Guardian Program?

Answer

The Guardian Program is where we place our potential breeding mums and dads into family homes where they are brought up as valued family members but also have the added role of future parents.
