It is generally safe to leave a well-trained, healthy dog at home alone during the day while you are at work or away from home.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when leaving a dog alone at home:

It’s important to note that every dog is different, and some may not do well being left alone for extended periods. It’s important to assess your dog’s individual needs and behavior and make adjustments as needed. If you have concerns about leaving your dog alone, consider talking to a veterinarian or a professional dog trainer for guidance.

Here are a few reasons why Oodle dogs make great family pets:

They are intelligent and easy to train: Poodles are known for their intelligence and trainability, and Oodle dogs often inherit these traits. They can be easily trained in basic obedience and can learn more advanced tricks and tasks with consistency and positive reinforcement.

They are often hypoallergenic: Many people are allergic to dogs, but Oodle dogs are often considered hypoallergenic. This is because they have hair instead of fur, and they shed less than many other breeds. 

They have great personalities: Oodle dogs are known for their friendly and affectionate personalities. They often love spending time with their families and can be great with children.

They have a lot of energy: Oodle dogs are typically active and love to play. They can be a great match for families who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, running, or playing fetch.

They have a teddy bear look and are extremely cute! 

Overall, Oodle dogs can make great family pets because of their intelligence, hypoallergenic qualities, great personalities, and active nature. However, it’s important to do research and choose a reputable breeder such as Mon Amour Oodles to ensure that you’re getting a healthy and well-socialized dog.

The lifespan of Oodle dogs depends on various factors such as their size, health, and genetics.

Our experience has been that they do tend to have long lifespans and healthy lives due to the fact that they are from genetically diverse parentage. This means that many of the ailments which occur inevitably in purebred dogs and which arise as a result of continually breeding dogs with similar physical attributes, are (in our experience) less prevalent in these dogs. 

We live on a farm and really value the health of our animals. We want them to be able to jump, run, swim and play with us for extended period of time. These are some of the factors that have attracted us to breed these animals. We’ve certainly found them to be hardy and able to keep up with our active lifestyle.

Like all dogs, on average, smaller Oodle dogs like Miniature and Toy Poodles tend to live longer than larger Oodle dogs. We use miniature and toy poodles in our lines as we breed “down” in size; – none of our studs are larger standard sized poodles.

It’s important to remember that each dog is an individual and may have different health and lifestyle factors that can impact their lifespan. 

Proper nutrition, regular exercise, and routine veterinary care can help keep your Oodle dog healthy and potentially prolong their lifespan.

In summary and, in our experience,  generally, Oodle dogs can live anywhere from 13 to 18 years, with some living longer. If you’re considering getting an Oodle dog, it’s important to do your research and talk to a veterinarian or breeder about potential health issues and how to provide the best care for your dog.
