Labradoodle Care and Whats the best color Labradoodle

Hi there!  I wanted to talk today about a couple questions new Labradoodle puppy seekers have-- First off, nail clipping- this is one that should be pretty simple to deal with.  As far as equipment, I recommend fingernail clippers, yep plain old human clippers.  Maybe large toe-nail size for mature dogs, but good sharp clippers and a calm approach are best.  Basically, talk to your Labradoodle gently while you take a paw and push up under one "toe" to expose the claw.  Look closely and you can see that there is a long thin sharp part that thickens closer to the toe.  If there is no thin sharp point, you may not need to trim.  But if there is, hold the clippers "horizontally", the same way you would trimming your nails and clip a couple millimeters off.  I like to put the clipper around the nail, lift so the bottom jaw contacts the underside and slide toward the tip until it starts to catch where the claws hooks down. That's usually a good spot to clip.  Try not to over-do until your dog trusts you in this.  Try not to clip to deeply and draw blood, that will break the trust quickly.  Mainly practice exposing the claw fully, and getting the Labradoodle to cooperate calmly. Otherwise let the vet do it.   The other question is "What color Labradoodle should I choose?"  My answer is "Chocolate" because its my favorite, "Black" because its so beautiful and always looks clean, and "Golden" because its so eye-catching and cute.  Just pick a Adirondack Labradoodle, male or female, and you'll be safe!

It's interesting to know that one must not draw blood when they clip the dog's nail to establish trust. With that in mind, I will make sure to take the dog to a reputable groomer for this kind of service to prevent any injuries. I needed to know this information now that I plan to get my own Labradoodle puppy this year to have company during the holidays.

I liked it the most when you shared that clipping too deeply can draw blood. My friend wants to add a Labradoodle puppy to the family. I should advise him to look for Labradoodle puppies for sale to find a healthy one.
