When buying a dog what type of papers should I expect the seller to give other than a bill of sale? Should they have shots before purchase? What questions do I ask to make sure the puppy is worth the price.

What is the difference between a Labradoodle and an Aussiedoodle? Do they have similarities or very different?

I did not want a dog. My wife pestered me for 10 years! My reason was I grew up on a sheep ranch and had many smart hard working border collies. They were cherished but never treated like family pets. They were never allowed in the house. They were more like hired hands and were ruled with an iron fist. I was concerned my expectations on a family dog would be too high. My wife finally rebelled and brought home a labradoodle. I actually LOVE our dog. Everything printed in this article describes our “Chuck” perfectly. He is just as smart as any collie I ever had, except for one. The difference is Chuck is loving,caring and sensitive. Collies are tough,focused and just want to do their job. Everything with Chuck is easy, he will do whatever “family dog thing” you want him to do. I never have to remind him that he is a dog and I am not. I can not imagine a better pet than a labradoodle.

My husband and I are thinking of getting a labradoodle puppy and you make a great point that they love to exercise and run around. I think that this would be ideal for us because walking the dog every day will give us great exercise and help us to stay in shape. Also, the fact that they are in-tune with feelings and actions gives me peace of mind that I will be able to get along well with our future dog.
