A Labra-WHO??

By
Real Estate Agent with Halo Group Realty, LLC

A Labradoodle.  ”I have a Labradoodle”, she said.                                                                                                                                                          Now, for those of you who know me, you know that I see humor in almost everything…especially at the most inopportune and inappropriate times.  Every time I have heard this name, I could not help myself from imagining the mating rituals of the breeders to produce this mix (or other exotic breeds) of a Labrador Retriever and a Miniature Poodle.

When my client told me she had this dog, you could imagine the giggle I had to stifle.

Granted, I’ve always noticed a large amount of dogs and dog-lovers in my own neighborhood in Stonebridge Ranch in Mckinney, but call it a case of “the Baader-Meinhof Phenominon“…I started to see these dogs everywhere!  Not just Labradoodles, mind you…I began to notice breeds I had never noticed before.  I am not kidding, I am pretty sure I even saw a Daneadoodle.  If you could only envision this huge, lean dog with very apparent poodle traits, being proudly walked by its owner…I just had to wonder how that could even happen.

Granted, I have always been a firm advocate of pet adoptions, such as the Collin County Animal Shelter in Mckinney, but I started to wonder, as I noticed the proud owners jogging alongside these exotic breeds.  Do I need one of these?  Would the new dog somehow make my own adopted shephard mix somehow feel inferior?

There’s no doubt that living in Mckinney is a wonderful place for family and dogs alike with it’s exemplary-rated and blue-ribbon winning schools, to it’s vast ray of amenities of Stonebridge Ranch .  I personally enjoy all of the trees, parks, water views and rolling landscaping that most of the communities offer (obviously making for a scenic route on your way home from work, or better…from your very own back patio).

Exotic breed or not, give me a call or view my website below if you’d like an opportunity to call this amazing place your new home.

I wonder if that Labradoodle's name is Curly. I really like Labs but cannot tolerate their shedding. How is their temperment? The Labradoodle, that is?

I sort of like some of these hybrid dogs like Puggles, or Peek-a-Poos but the dog I enjoy the most is the good ole American mutt

It started with Labradoodles and Goldendoodles, but now it seems they are mixing and matching anything and everything. I think it got out of hand "a bit".

I'm no dog expert, but apparently that is one of the great things about this particular breed--they aren't supposed to shed.  I love my mutt as well, Doug :)
