Double Doodle

A mixture of two or more breeds (or, various other combinations of the Poodle, the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever), the Double Doodle is a cross between two more cross doodles- the Goldendoodle and the Labradoodle, and hence its name. With a long coat hair, button eyes, black nose and flappy ears, these intelligent dogs make a beautiful, friendly pet.

With no breed-specific problems, their health syndromes and issues with diseases vary from individual to individual, depending upon their generation or, which gene they inherited. However, to ward off possibilities of general dog-health issues, seek for breeders that can provide health clearance certificate while buying your puppy.

Training

The prudent and obedient double doodles can pick up training, tricks and commands readily, provided the puppies are given etiquette and socialization training firmly, setting rules clearly by an experienced owner, who can be its ‘pack leader’, which would in turn keep away behavioral problems, when adult.

Begin with pet food that the breeder was feeding. You can feed it with Fromm. Also, Innova Evo, Solid Gold and Blue Wilderness (that is made by Blue Buffalo) are included in the top notch food-list too. For the high quality dry food, feed 1 to 2 cups to the growing puppies and 2 ½ to 3 cups to the grown-up adults. Divide this into two equal meals.
