What is the typical size of a Labradoodle?
Our Miniature F1 Labradoodles are between 16-18 inches and our
Miniature F1b Labradoodles are 14-16 inches.
How long will a Labradoodle live for?
It is expected that a healthy Labradoodle should live between 13
and 16 years.
How much exercise do Labradoodles need?
We recommend all puppies under 12 months old need exercise
restricted, this is to prevent hip and joint problems, which can
be induced at this time of rapid growth. Puppies can play in
the garden and this is quite adequate, with a gradual increase
as they become older. Adult Labradoodles will need a moderate
amount of exercise; they make great running, jogging, cycling
and even swimming companions. Labradoodles excel at agility and
obedience and retrieving.
What food should i feed my Labradoodle?
There is such a wealth of information on diet and nutrition
these days, its quite a science, however we recommend a high
quality dog food packed full of all the right vitamins and
minerals. Water is essential and fresh water must be available
to all dogs at all times and both food and water bowls should be
made from a material that can be properly cleaned.
Are all Labradoodles non-shedding and allergy friendly?
No, is the simple answer. We rely on our experience with
previous litters and our wider knowledge...while most people who
have had F1b puppies from us have told us they moult very
little, there are always exceptions...and it is very important
that those who suffer from allergies are very aware prior to
buying a puppy that BRITISH LABRADOODLES DO MOULT, we recommend
any allergy sufferer considering a Labradoodle should consult
their Doctor regarding their allergy prior to considering
purchasing a puppy!

How much grooming do Labradoodles need?
We recommend grooming once a week for scruffy/shaggy coats these
tend to need very little maintenance. Curly/fleeece/wavy coats
require lots of grooming (daily) and need to be trimmed two or
three times a year.
Can my Labradoodle be left all day in the house alone?
Labradoodles are very intelligent dogs and need lots of social
interaction and mental stimulation. Deprived of this
environment, as with other breeds renowned for their
intelligence, their frustration and unhappiness could lead to
behaviour problems. If your lifestyle would mean frequently
leaving a dog on its own for lengthy periods, it is unlikely
that the Labradoodle is the dog for you.
What age will my puppy Labradoodle be when it leaves you?
We allow puppies to go to their new families between 7-8 weeks
of age. This is the time we feel that puppies can cope with
change at their best.
Male or female - which makes the better Labradoodle pet?
We find there is very little difference, as both male and female
Labradoodles make excellent pets once neutered/spayed.
