Can someone give more information about Labradoodle because I bought one last week and I don't know how to take care of him?

Thanks a lot!

Do you mean you don't know how to raise a puppy period? Or don't know things specific to that particular mix? Is the breeder not giving you any support? That should be the very first person you should be able to turn to for help.

Most dog care and puppy raising isn't breed-specific. All puppies need healthy food that promotes slow, steady growth, careful and positive socialization, age appropriate exercise (overdoing it is bad on growing joints), lots of sleep, and of course lots of attention! If he has a longer, more poodle-y coat you want to start getting him used to brushing/combing right away, as well as scissors and clippers if you plan on grooming him yourself. This should also include teaching him that handling his ears, paws, tail, muzzle, etc. is super positive and no big deal - unless he has a very lab-like coat he'll need to be groomed his whole life, so it's important to start young.

Is there anything specific you're struggling with that we might be able to help with?
