Labradoodle Health Guide

Labradoodle is the one of the most popular designer dogs in America with 100,000+ new puppies annually. Lifespan: 12-14 years. Temperament: social, energetic, intelligent, non-shedding.

Labradoodles were bred as hypoallergenic guide dogs but the project's creator later called it a mistake. Coat type is unpredictable and they inherit health issues from both parent breeds.

Labradoodle health costs average $2,500-$4,500 annually due to combined breed-specific conditions.
