Why Miniature Labradoodles Make Great Pets

If you’re considering getting a dog, then you need to consider the type of dog you’re going to get, and how its going to fit into your lifestyle. You probably have ideas already about what life with a dog will be like, but the thing to understand is that every dog is different and spending a little time now researching the best breed will ultimately make life easier going forward.

The Miniature Labradoodle is an ideal dog in a number of different ways. It is a happy-go-lucky, friendly, and ultimately practical choice as well. Let’s take a look at why this is such a great choice for so many people – families, single professionals, and everyone else in-between!

The temperament of the Miniature Labradoodle is one that is ideal for families and individuals. These are very friendly, playful, and intelligent dogs. In fact, did you know that Labradors and Poodles are both considered among the most intelligent dog breeds? Combine the two and you have a dog that is incredibly smart and easy to train – in fact, these dogs are very often used as guide dogs. This makes them the perfect choice if you have need for a helping hand yourself, but also if you are just looking for a breed of dog that you can teach not to bark at the neighbors and not to run off whenever you open the door.

On top of that, a Miniature Labradoodle is also a breed of dog that is going to be ideal for keeping with kids. They are both fun and funny, and children will love playing with them, throwing balls for them to fetch, and generally spending time with them. Their intelligence also makes them very sensitive and kind dogs, meaning that they can tell when someone is upset or poorly and will actually make an effort to look after them and help them get better! It’s such a great feeling to have a friend that cares about you and that will look after you, and this is something you only really get from certain breeds of dog!

Finally, Miniature Labradoodles also have the distinct advantage of getting along well with other pets (including cats!) and with other dogs that they meet when you’re out and about. This is a big benefit over something like a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which although very friendly with humans, can actually be prone to fighting other dogs.

A Miniature Labradoodle will not shed its hair, which right away presents a great number of huge advantages.

As we have already alluded to, this means that your dog is hypoallergenic – meaning that it can be owned by someone who has an allergy to other kinds of pets, and they won’t need to spend their days sneezing, crying, and coughing. This is a great consideration even if you aren’t someone who has an allergy themselves: it means that you can invite friends and relatives over and they won’t be bothered by shedding fur either!

At the same time, you should also keep in mind the many other benefits of having a dog that doesn’t shed. For one, this means that your home will be considerably tidier! If you’ve ever been around the home of someone who owns a Labrador, then you might have noticed that there is fine hair all over their furniture and all over their carpets. This isn’t of course a huge issue for many people who love their pets – but it can be something of a problem if you are very house proud, and of course it’s nice not to have to worry about this issue. Not to mention that being able to wear nice clothes and not look like you’ve just been rolling on your pet is another good advantage!

Last but by no means least, a Miniature Labradoodle is also a dog that doesn’t carry as much of that “dog smell” that is often associated with the pet. Dogs aren’t exactly known for their fragrance but in this case, you can at least benefit from the fact that you aren’t getting a dog with a pungent coat. That’s a great bonus!

If you are currently struggling with your finances, then you may be under the impression that you can’t afford a pet. Pets cost a lot of money – from the cost of vet bills to the price of their food and toys – but this amount is variable depending on a number of factors. In other words, just because you can’t afford a big dog doesn’t mean you can’t afford any pet, and if you’re smart then there are plenty of furry friends you can keep for a very low price.

The good news is that a Miniature Labradoodle is generally one of the more affordable breeds. That’s because it’s a cross breed and not officially recognized as a breed in its own right (yet). This in turn means that you shouldn’t be asked to spend quite as much as you would do for a pure breed.

Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a pet that doesn’t get sick – which is to say that you can’t predict what fate has in store for any animal you bring into your home and this will be at least largely down to sheer luck.

That said there are ways to tip the scales in your favor and some animals will be more prone to particular conditions than others. Some breeds of dogs and cats for instance are more prone to particular conditions due to the way they’re bred – a Bulldog, for instance, is more likely to experience skin conditions around their face, while a Poodle is more likely to experience problems with their legs.

Looking into the family history of your pet as well as the current health of your pet can also help you predict your animal’s future well-being just as it can for humans.

A Miniature Labradoodle isn’t completely free from potential issues. They can sometimes experience hip dysplasia, along with some other issues such as elbow problems. That said though, every breed is prone to some kinds of issue, whereas a Miniature Labradoodle is one of the generally healthier issues.

Larger animals here are also more likely to be expensive in terms of vet bills than smaller pets as they will be less resilient. A bad foot is much less of a big deal for a small animal like a Chihuahua, for instance, than it is for a large dog like a retriever because they have less weight to carry on it.

Meanwhile, bigger animals have the option of more invasive surgery which might mean you have more difficult decisions to make on the horizon.

This is definitely also the case for a Miniature Labradoodle.

A smart pet owner will of course take out pet insurance, which will help them to cover the vet costs and avoid a situation where they can’t pay for the attention their animals need. However, these costs are of course worked out based on the likelihood of your pet needing expensive treatment – so choosing a smaller animal with less chance of illness is still going to be cheaper.

Getting a smaller pet is also likely to be cheaper in terms of food and supplies too – a small dog of course will eat much less than a big dog and they’ll also get through toys and chews less quickly too. In fact, a pet that you don’t have to walk so often can also help to save you money because you’ll be spending less on petrol – a cost that many people forget when they prepare a budget for their pet. Once more, choosing the smaller breed of Labradoodle is a cost-saving strategy in this case.

Choosing a smaller dog is not just a strategic move in terms of their food bills, but also in terms of how much easier they are to look after. A small dog you can easily carry under one arm, and they won’t take up as much space in your home. You don’t need to be as strong in order to restrain them on a leash, and they aren’t as likely to ruin your sleep by taking up half the bed.

Small dogs are even quieter on the whole than larger ones. While you do get yappy dogs that bark in the garden, having a smaller Miniature Labradoodle means smaller lungs and less noise.

Having a small dog in many ways makes life considerably easier because you aren’t dealing with a gigantic ball of energy that will bound throughout your home and knock over all your belongings. And there’s even the benefit of knowing that if they ever were to turn (not that this is really an issue for most dogs) you would be able to fend them off and restrain them. It’s just good for your peace of mind.

There are many ways in which dogs are good for you. The first is that they provide that comfort and love that is missing for many of us. If you live alone, then this will allow you to snuggle up with a pet when you come home from work rather than feeling stressed with no one to hug. Did you know that simply stroking a dog has been shown to lower heartrate and reduce signs of stress?

Many studies have demonstrated how this alone is enough to reduce blood pressure, cortisol and more and to have even better impacts over the long term.

But more than this, dogs can also directly help you to improve your health in terms of your fitness, musculature, weight, and more. They accomplish this specifically by encouraging exercise; if you own a dog, then you will need to walk it and in doing so you will burn calories.

And even if you aren’t quite able to get out and about with your pooch, you’ll find that simply playing with them at home is a good way to increase your heart rate a little and to burn some fat. Dogs keep you active, and that’s one of the best things they give you.

This is true for any kind of dog, but the playful nature of the Miniature Labradoodle and their intelligence makes them a particularly good choice – they will walk with you and play with you when you need them to, but they’re also small enough that they can entertain themselves when you don’t have the energy for a long walk.

In short, the Miniature Labradoodle is an ideal dog for a huge range of different types of owner. The Miniature Labradoodle is small enough to be easily carried around and to be looked after on a lower budget. They don’t shed, which means they don’t make mess and are easy to keep clean. They’re friendly and smart, which makes them a great dog for looking after. And they’re a lot of fun too.

Many people have a particular soft-spot for Labradors which is owing to their boundless energy and their fun, loyal nature. A Miniature Labradoodle has all these benefits, but with the added practicality that comes from being smaller, and the added intelligence and lack of shedding that comes from having a Poodle. You get the fun benefits of a Labrador and their great nature, without the constant hair everywhere, or their painful joints. In fact they will even live longer! They’re great with kids and other pets, and they’re not going to bark at every dog they meet.

Oh, and as one added bonus? Miniature Labradoodles are absolutely adorable, being incredibly fluffy and curly and bouncing around like happy little fuzz balls. It’s no surprise that these cross breeds – like other Poodle crosses – are becoming increasingly popular and more and more common to bump into on walks.
