Labradoodles

Labradoodles take on the best traits of both breeds. The cross between these two parent breeds make terrific family dogs. They are friendly, intelligent, affectionate, and easy to train. They are devoted to their family and are generally friendly towards children, other dogs, and pets. They are also often easy with strangers. They are social dogs, happiest when with people. Mini Labradoodle puppies are generally easy to train, since they are very intelligent and eager to please. For small Labradoodles, they usually do well with other dogs and pets in the household, and are generally good with children.

Teacup and mini Labradoodles inherit the fur qualities of the poodle in that most do not shed or shed very lightly. They may not produce any allergic reaction. The fur texture is that of a poodle, as well. The curls are not as stiff though and will tend to form a wavy or silky coat. From the Labrador retriever, it receives the pleasant temperament and strong loyalty associated with this breed. Both Labs and Poodles are known for being among the smartest dogs. Goldendoodles have a very similar temperament and are another great option. Check out our teacup Goldendoodles and our mini Goldendoodle puppies while you're here.

We frequently get asked if there are more health problems with the mini Labradoodle or the toy Labradoodle, because of the father being so small. Mini and teacup Labradoodles are usually actually healthier! What most people don't know is that all small and toy breeds originally were bred down in size from larger dogs. The teacup Labradoodle puppies actually have fewer health problems and they typically live longer. The smaller Labradoodles have fewer health problems, because they don't have the extra weight and size as standards do. 

Because they are a hybrid breed, the resulting hybrid vigor makes them less susceptible to genetic diseases associated with purebred breeds. They grow healthier and live longer than either parent line. The only genetic diseases they can be prone to would be those shared by both the Labrador retriever and the Poodle. There are no major genetic health concerns, but a few minor concerns: cataract, SAS (heart disease), and CHD (Canine Hip Dysplasia), Von Willebrand's (blood disease), elbow and patella disorders. We breed with clean lines and strive to provide only genetically healthy teacup and mini Labradoodle puppies.

Mini Labradoodle and teacup Labradoodle puppies love to use their brains when they play. In fact, they thrive on training because it lets them learn new things and engages their brain. Being part retriever, mini and toy Labradoodles have a natural instinct that makes them eager to serve and an athletic disposition that makes them fun to run around with and play.

Labradoodles are very intuitive and empathetic to emotion. This makes them excellent companions, no matter how you're feeling. Labradoodles are very sharp dogs and learn very quickly. This makes them easy to train, which is the reason so many Labradoodles become service dogs, guide dogs, or therapy dogs for the disabled.  We have several of our mini Labradoodle and teacup Labradoodle puppies that have gone out as service pets.  One even became a service dog for a 911 first responder. We are so proud of our mini Labradoodles and teacup Labradoodle puppies!

The shed-resistant coat our mini Labradoodles have is great for keeping the house free of furry tufts, but it is also a magnet for dirt and bits from the yard. Whether a mini Labradoodle or a teacup Labradoodle, fur can be dense and curly. It can hold pieces of sticks, bugs, and, especially, burrs. Their fur needs to be brushed regularly.

The more Poodle in their genetics, the better for those wanting a non-shedding and hypoallergenic dog. A first generation Labradoodle is the result of a Labrador retriever and a Poodle. This is considered an F1 Labradoodle. Because they are 50% Labrador retriever and 50% Poodle, they will likely still have some shedding as a result of the higher percentage of Labrador in them. When you get to the second generation Labradoodle, they are typically called an F1B.  An F1B Labradoodle is the child of an F1 Labradoodle and a Poodle. An F1B Labradoodle has 75% Poodle and 25% Labrador retriever. The Poodle's coat is what makes the Labradoodle a hypoallergenic dog and non-shedding. So, having an F1B labradoodle that has 75% Poodle, you are going to have less shedding than you would typically have with an F1 Labradoodle.

An F2B Labradoodle is the child of an F1B Labradoodle (first generation born to a labradoodle) and a poodle. This F2B (or F1BB) Labradoodle will have 87.5% Poodle and 12.5% Labrador. These are even less likely to shed than the F1B, but both are considered to be ideal when looking for a puppy that is hypoallergenic.  F2B Labradoodles are sometimes also referred to as multi-gen or multigenerational Labradoodle puppies. All this means is that the mini Labradoodle was born to a parent that was also a Labradoodle. So if you're looking for a puppy that will be a hypoallergenic dog, be extremely smart, easy to train, and more, then looking for an F1B mini Labradoodle, a teacup Labradoodle, or an F2B toy Labradoodle would be ideal!

We have black mini Labradoodles, black teacup Labradoodles, chocolate teacup Labradoodles, and red teacup Labradoodles. We love all the variety! These beautiful puppies come with an assortment of colors, but we always breed first for health and for temperament! Some like the red Labradoodle color, while others like the beautiful chocolate Labradoodle. We like them all!  With black toy Labradoodles or even with black mini Labradoodles, you can sometimes end up with what's called a blue Labradoodle. This unique coloring starts out looking like a black, but as the puppy grows into adulthood, it fades to a silver blue hue. We've had several puppies with this unique blue or silver coloring and we love it! With such pretty colors and a good haircut, these teacup and mini labradoodles often feel like a plush puppy!  They're just like a real life teddy bear dog that hugs you back!

Our teacup and mini Labradoodles are from quality lines. We always breed for health and temperament before anything else. Our puppies make great pets, as they are extremely intelligent, non-shedders, and hypoallergenic dogs. We love them most because they are sensitive, loyal, and always affectionate.

This "designer" hybrid became well known quickly and loved by many. Bred to be a hypoallergenic dog, the mini Labradoodle went on to prove that she could also be a versatile family dog, therapy dog, or service dog as well.

A toy Labradoodle puppy is happiest when she's with the people she loves and she'll shower her family with affection and devotion. With the energy of the Labrador retriever and the work ethic of both the Lab and the Poodle, she's truly a joy to have around. Our mini Labradoodles and teacup Labradoodles love being played with and cuddled. Make a deposit so you can enjoy one of these sweetheart puppies as well.

Mini Labradoodles are estimated to be about 15-30 pounds and only 22 inches tall fully grown.  All of our mini Labradoodles have some litterbox training as well as crate training. Some litters have gone through a special pre-service training to prepare them for later training. Ask if our teacup Labradoodle puppies or our mini Labradoodle puppies will have pre-service training. We do our best to bring you a puppy you'll love even before bringing them home.
