Your dog ownership will be a richer and more rewarding experience if you enter into it with realistic expectations. Please review the following facts: Labradoodles are not maintenance-free dogs. They require weekly brushing to avoid matting. Brushing will be even more important, and perhaps frequent, between the 6-month to 24-month age, while the puppy coat transitions to an adult coat. You will need to clean your Labradoodle's ears twice a month. Professional grooming will be necessary 3-4 times a year depending on the look you prefer. Young puppies normally nip, especially at young children. It will take effort and discipline on your part to manage this. Your puppy will be physiologically capable of being 100% housebroken at 7-8 months of age; many puppies are reliable much earlier.
