About Labradoodles

Last year I promised my daughter that we would get her a dog this year as long as she agreed to take care of it.  Well, she waited, even read a lot of books about dogs, and now she wants a puppy, so I agreed to let her have one.  I asked her what kind of dog she wanted, and she was adamant about wanting a labradoodle.  Apparently she had read that labradoodles make wonderful pets for families, and don’t require a lot of maintenance. 

I did some research of my own and found that she was right about labradoodles, they’re wonderful dogs.  In addition to being family oriented pets, they’re hypoallergenic, which is great for my wife who has asthma.  I searched for labradoodle breeders and was surprised at how many were in my area.  I had never even heard of a labradoodle before but they’re one of the most in demand breeds today.  We ended up purchasing a chocolate labradoodle, and she named him “Cocoa”.  He’s since become a prominent member of our family, I can’t even imagine a family event without him! 

The news media has been talking about the potential canine member of the first family for weeks, and Obama has finally decided on a breed.  Obama wants to find a labradoodle or goldendoodle for his two daughters, Sasha and Malia.  Thousands of breeders would love to put their dogs in for consideration, but Obama is hoping to find the first dog at an animal shelter to emphasize the importance of pet adoptions.  Because Obama is hoping to find the dog from an animal shelter, he won’t have a huge selection, whether he chooses from black labradoodles, brown goldendoodles, or a unique mixture of color and hair condition will be up to chance.

However, it’s good to know that the President supports animal adoption, because there are so many pets each year that are killed because adoption centers can’t find good homes.  With Obama as an example, Americans will start to put forth more consideration for adopting pets.
