Our Special Couple
Max & Penelope
Max loves to swim in the Eno River near our home in every season. He's a powerful athlete with great retrieving instincts. He's also taught himself how to open doors with every imaginable handle. Penny lives for "squirrel patrol," always on the lookout in the woods nearby. She's graceful and fast. Max & Penny are pals!
About F1 Labradoodles
A FI Labradoodle is a cross between a Standard Poodle and a Labrador Retriever. The main advantage of F1 breeding is they have the highest possibilities of hybrid vigor, which means they will be healthier with fewer genetic defects. A well-bred F1 Labradoodle gets the best balance from both the Lab and Poodle; they have a sweet and playful temperament and are intuitive, quick learners (often used as therapy dogs). The coat of a young Labradoodle will change over time. There is a transition from a short and soft puppy coat to the longer adult coat -- this means they "doodle" increasingly as they mature. The easiest way to determine the coat type of a Labradoodle is to look at the fur around the face and muzzle--fur that has crimps or waves will similarly be wavy/shaggy or also curly, although it is not possible to tell which until the pup is a little older. A F1 Labradoodle has a low-shedding coat.
