Congratulations, @Steve on the addition of your new family. I have many friends and family who are raising Labradoodles and Goldendoodles. Phenomenal intelligent loveable dogs. Smart, no need to train. They pick things up on their own. Could not have asked for a better breed.

Congratulations @Steve on the addition of your new baby, Pepper, into your family. Labradoodles are one of the most intelligent dogs anyone can adopt. Labradoodles are a popular hybrid breed of dog, originally developed by crossing a Labrador Retriever with a Standard Poodle. This mix was intended to create a hypoallergenic guide dog, which combined the gentle and trainable nature of the Labrador with the low-shedding coat of the Poodle. The result is a friendly, energetic, and intelligent dog that has become highly sought after as a family pet.
Characteristics of Labradoodles
Appearance: Labradoodles typically have a curly or wavy coat that comes in a variety of colors such as cream, gold, red, black, and chocolate. Their size can vary depending on the specifics of the cross, especially whether the Poodle parent was a standard or miniature.
Temperament: Known for their friendly and sociable nature, Labradoodles are generally great with children and other animals. They are often described as loyal, playful, and affectionate with their families.
Training and Intelligence: Labradoodles are highly intelligent and trainable, often excelling in obedience training. This intelligence comes from both their Poodle and Labrador parents, who are both known for their smarts and eagerness to please.
Exercise Needs: They are active dogs that require regular exercise to maintain their health and happiness. They enjoy long walks, play sessions, and are often seen excelling in dog sports such as agility.
Grooming: Despite their often low-shedding coats, Labradoodles require regular grooming to prevent matting and maintain coat health. The extent of grooming needed can vary with the type of coat—those with more Poodle-like coats may require more frequent grooming.
Health: Like all breeds, Labradoodles can be prone to certain health issues. These may include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and eye disorders, which are common to both parent breeds. Regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can help manage these risks.
Popularity
Labradoodles have gained popularity not only for their potential as hypoallergenic pets but also for their adaptable and friendly nature, making them suitable for a variety of households and lifestyles. They are particularly popular among families and individuals with allergies, although it’s important to note that no dog can be guaranteed to be completely hypoallergenic.
Labradoodles represent a broader trend towards designer mixed breeds, where the goal is to combine the best traits of two purebred dogs. As with any breed, prospective owners should do their research and consider adopting from shelters or rescues, where many Labradoodles in need of homes may be found.

We are all happy for you and your family, Steve. Labradoodles are extremely expensive. My sister in law just bought her third Labradoodle and was priced at $2,500. Besides being extremely intelligent, Labradoodles do not shed. Pepper will be needing regular hair cuts like her human companions. Lol. Send us many pics. A need addition to our online community. 🙂
