Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Poodle (Standard) / Mixed (medium coat). Gillie was transferred to our shelter from the Creston Animal Shelter. Volunteers at Creston said this about her: Gillie is a young adult Labradoodle (possibly). She is very happy and social, loves to take walks and is treat motivated. She is an active dog and could play all day long. Her very first day here we found out she can climb a chain-link kennel and escape. She escaped from our play yard another time so her new family will have to keep close watch on her.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Labradoodle is a charming and increasingly popular hybrid breed, originating in Australia in the late 1980s with the goal of creating a guide dog for a visually impaired individual allergic to dog hair. This delightful canine combines the best traits of its parent breeds: the intelligent Poodle (Standard) and the friendly Labrador Retriever. Physically, Labradoodles boast a range of sizes and coat types, from wavy fleece to curly wool, often shed-reduced, making them a potential option for individuals with mild allergies. Their coats come in various colors, including cream, chocolate, and black. Temperamentally, they are known for being sociable, intelligent, and trainable, making them excellent family pets. They thrive on human companionship and require moderate exercise to stay happy and healthy. While adaptable, their energy levels mean they generally prefer homes with yards over small apartments, though daily walks are essential. Common health considerations, inherited from their parent breeds, can include hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and certain cancers, so choosing a reputable breeder is crucial for a healthy companion.
