Buying a puppy is both exciting and daunting, so here are a few tips to help you find the perfect Labradoodle puppy.
Don't buy the first puppy you see. It is always best to compare when making an important purchase and this is so true when buying a puppy.
• Go to at least 3 breeders before making a decision; ask lots of questions about the litter and the parents; let the breeder talk about their breeding program and ethics; ask to see the parents, or at least the mother and find out where she is kept (in the kennels or as part of the family) The quality of the breeder often determines the quality of the puppies.
• A breeder who is as interested in you and the home the pup will be going into, as you are in them, cares about the dogs they breed and this is someone you want to buy from. Their dogs will have better temperaments and be better socialized than a breeder who is just breeding for cash and keeps all their dogs in outside kennel complexes.
• Sit and watch the puppies interact with each other. You will notice there are quiet ones, boisterous ones, bossy ones and sometimes one that goes off by itself. Consider your family situation when deciding if you want a quiet dog that just enjoys your company or an active dog to play with the kids. Avoid puppies that stay away from its litter-mates as these could be timid and difficult to train.
• Many people say a puppy chooses them. While sitting quietly beside the litter, you might find one puppy keeps coming over to you. Maybe you've been chosen too!
