Frequently Asked Questions
What is an f1bb labradoodle?
An F1BB Labradoodle is a specific generation and type of Labradoodle, which is a crossbreed between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. The “F1BB” designation refers to the generation of the Labradoodle and the combination of parental breeds.
F1: This refers to the first generation of the crossbreed, where a purebred Labrador Retriever is bred with a purebred Poodle. The resulting puppies are 50% Labrador and 50% Poodle.
BB: The “BB” stands for backcross. An F1BB Labradoodle is the result of breeding an F1B Labradoodle (which is 75% Poodle and 25% Labrador) with a purebred Poodle. This further enhances the Poodle traits in the mix, including hypoallergenic coats and intelligence.
F1BB Labradoodles tend to have a higher percentage of Poodle genetics, making them more likely to have hypoallergenic coats and inherit the desirable characteristics of both breeds. These dogs are often known for their intelligence, low-shedding coats, and friendly temperaments.
What makes Labradoodles hypoallergenic?
Labradoodles are often hypoallergenic due to their Poodle ancestry. Poodles have hair, not fur, which sheds less dander – a common allergen. Labradoodles with more Poodle genetics tend to be less likely to trigger allergies in sensitive individuals.
What kind of health testing do you perform on your breeding dogs?
We prioritize the health and well-being of our breeding dogs, ensuring that they are prime candidates for producing healthy puppies. Our health testing regimen involves a multi-tiered approach:
DNA Testing with Embark: Our adult dogs undergo comprehensive DNA testing through Embark, a trusted canine genetics company. This testing screens for a wide range of genetic diseases and health markers, helping us make informed breeding decisions.
Veterinary Examinations: Regular veterinary check-ups are an integral part of our breeding program. Our dogs receive thorough physical examinations to monitor their overall health and address any potential concerns.
Health Clearances: We obtain health clearances from veterinary professionals, indicating that our breeding dogs are free from common hereditary health issues. These clearances encompass heart, hips, eyes, and other key areas.
Temperament Evaluation: In addition to physical health, we also assess the temperament and behavior of our breeding dogs. This ensures that they possess the desirable traits needed for raising well-rounded and loving puppies.
Our commitment to rigorous health testing helps us maintain the utmost standards for breeding excellence. By focusing on both genetic health and overall well-being, we aim to produce Labradoodle puppies that are not only adorable companions but also thrive in terms of health, temperament, and vitality.
Do you offer a health guarantee for your puppies?
We take great pride in providing puppies that are not only adorably charming but also in optimal health. Upon adoption, you’ll receive a puppy that comes with a comprehensive health record, detailing all vaccinations, vet visits, and examinations.
While we don’t offer a traditional extended health guarantee, we firmly believe in transparency and honesty. Our dedication to the well-being of our puppies is evident in the meticulous care and health measures we undertake before they join their new homes.
Our commitment doesn’t end at adoption – we’re here to offer support and guidance as your puppy transitions into your family. We focus on producing healthy puppies from the outset, and we’re confident in the quality of our pups when they leave our care.
Please feel free to ask any specific questions you may have about our health practices and policies. We’re here to ensure your journey with your new furry family member is a joyful and fulfilling one.
How do you handle puppy transportation?
We understand the importance of ensuring a stress-free journey for our puppies as they transition to their new homes. That’s why we’ve carefully crafted a transportation approach that prioritizes their comfort and well-being.
Personalized Puppy Pickup: Families are invited to visit our home to personally pick up their new puppy. This option allows you and your puppy to meet face-to-face, easing the transition and ensuring a positive start to your journey together.
Hand-Delivery by Us: For families located at a distance, we’re pleased to offer a personal touch. We personally deliver your puppy to your doorstep, minimizing travel stress and ensuring a smooth transition to their new environment.
Virtual Connection: We understand that in-person visits may not always be feasible. That’s why we offer virtual appointments, allowing you to virtually meet your puppy and witness their growth through regular updates. This approach ensures you stay connected with your new family member, even from afar.
Our commitment to the well-being of our puppies extends beyond breeding – it encompasses their journey to your home as well. We’re here to work with you to ensure that your puppy’s arrival is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Feel free to reach out with any questions or specific requirements you may have regarding transportation. Your puppy’s happiness and comfort are our top priorities.
