Labradoodle Service Dogs – An Inspiring Story

Using labradoodles as service dogs is not a new idea, but I have definitely seen more interest in using them as such in recent years. I have seen some of the breeders here on this site convert their breeder business into labradoodle service dog businesses. I have seen TV reports about them and even saw this recent article about them.

The article talks about a labradoodle that will be given to a little boy named “Dante”. His family was given a check for over $4000 towards a labradoodle service dog by the Niagara Falls Lions Club and Knights of Columbus. Dante is six and is autistic, the new service dog will help Dante a great deal of things, especially his seizures. Autism service dogs are trained to keep children still, and stand on him/her if necessary. When they sense a seizure coming on, they will sit down to catch the parents’ attention. They will also calm a child down by diverting their attention from their surroundings

I personally think this is great. Labradoodles are a highly intelligent and a quick learning dog breed. The labradoodle breed was actually origionally conceived to be a service dog.

I will soon a new section talking about Labradoodles as Service Dogs.
