Why the Australian Labradoodle was the ideal dog for my family
Like most families, our next furry family member needed to meet as many of the following qualifications as possible.
-
- Be a whole-family pet.
- Be gentle yet playful with my small, active boys.
- Not shed.
- Not be too big.
- Not aggravate my husband’s and boys’ allergies and asthma.
- Tolerate a working mom’s schedule with active boys.
I researched breed after breed to find the perfect fit for our home. And while rescuing a dog was definitely a thought, I knew this could not be an option for us with our family’s allergy and asthma issues.
I am happy to say that I did find the breed that met ALL of our requirements! With the help of the extraordinary Jenny Blume of Swinging Gate Labradoodles who has mentored me as a breeder, I learned that the Australian Labradoodle has proven to be the ideal dog.
