There are plenty of examples of Labradoodles living well into their late teens. So don’t be surprised if your Labradoodle pup manages to stick around for a little longer. While these expectations are based on the average lifespan of their parent pups, some research suggests that crossbreed dogs live longer than their parents, by about a year or two. So if you have a Lab that is mixed with one of these smaller breeds, you might expect them to live for an additional year or so. Miniature and toy poodles often live longer, as small dogs tend to live longer in general. So if you have a standard Labradoodle, you should probably expect them to have a slightly shorter lifespan at around the 12-year mark. Labrador retrievers and standard poodles both tend to live around 12 years. Various factors influence where each dog is likely to fall within this scale. How Long Do Labradoodles Live?Īll Labradoodles have a lifespan of roughly 12 to 14 years. You can read more about the Labradoodle coat and shedding in this article. While, in theory, each resulting crossbreed dog, known as a Labradoodle, could have either the low-shedding coat of a poodle or the high-shedding coat of a Labrador, years of controlling for this characteristic means that most Labradoodle’s have the desired low-shedding coats. They are less outgoing than Labradors, but overall it was thought that they would add to, rather than subtract from, the characteristics that make Labradors excellent service dogs. Poodles are also highly intelligent dogs, even more intelligent than Labradors, and also very friendly, having been bred as companion animals. This does mean they have to be brushed out regularly, but there’s no leaving a trail of hair behind them. Their tight, curly coats mean that instead of leaving hair wherever they go, it gets caught up in their coat. Poodles were chosen to crossbreed because they have a low-shedding coat. This can be a huge problem when it comes to taking them into hospitals, public places such as restaurants, and even cleaning up after them at home. They were bred because, while the temperament, intelligence, and trainability of Labrador retrievers make them excellent service dogs, they shed-a lot. They are varieties that are a mix between a Lab and all the different poodle sizes including standard, miniature, and toy. Labradoodles are crossbreed dogs that you get when you mix a Labrador retriever with a poodle. We’ll finish up by looking at some of the health conditions most common among Labradoodles that might cut their time with you a little short. We will also go through all the different life stages of a Labradoodle and what to expect in each. In this article, we will go through exactly how long you should expect your Labradoodle to live, which is largely determined by whether their poodle parent was a standard, miniature, or toy poodle. Spoiler alert: The average life expectancy for a Labadoodle is 12 to 14 years depending on their size.
