The Temperament of Labradoodle Puppies

A labradoodle is a mixed-breed dog that is created by crossing a labrador retriever with a poodle. Labradoodles are popular due to their trainability and temperament, and serve both as family pets and assistance dogs.

  1. With Children

    • Labradoodles are very playful and energetic, and are generally great companions for children. For the best results, labradoodle puppies should be socialized with gentle children as early as possible. However, puppy owners should ensure that the labradoodle regularly has time away from young kids in order to relax.

    With Other Dogs

    • Labradoodle puppies also enjoy the company of other dogs. This includes dogs other than the ones in their own family, if they are socialized properly from an early age. Labradoodles are very intelligent and respond well to behavioral training.

    Considerations

    • As with any dog type, temperament can vary. Puppies that take on the primary characteristics of their poodle parent breed tend to be more active and driven.
