Labradoodle
El Labradoodle es una popular mezcla de Labrador y Caniche conocida por su naturaleza amigable y pelaje hipoalergénico.
Temperamento
The Labradoodle is a friendly, affectionate, and highly social dog that thrives on human companionship. Intelligent and eager to please, they typically learn quickly and enjoy interactive games and training. Their playful, gentle nature often makes them excellent companions for families, children, and other pets when properly socialized.
Consideraciones de Salud
Labradoodles are generally healthy dogs with an average lifespan of about 12–15 years, but they can inherit health issues from both Labrador Retrievers and Poodles. Common concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), cataracts, and other eye diseases, as well as allergies and skin sensitivities. Some Labradoodles may also be prone to ear infections due to their floppy ears and, in larger individuals, to joint problems and bloat (gastric dilatation‑volvulus). Responsible breeders screen their breeding dogs for genetic conditions using hip and elbow evaluations, eye examinations, and DNA tests for hereditary diseases. Regular veterinary checkups, maintaining a healthy weight, providing appropriate exercise, and feeding a balanced diet are crucial to reducing health risks. Pet insurance and preventive care, including vaccinations, parasite control, and dental cleanings, can help manage long‑term health costs and keep your Labradoodle comfortable throughout its life.
