The Breed
Why people the Australian Labradoodle
In the mid 1970’s The Australian Guide Dog Association received an inquiry from a blind lady in Hawaii, requesting a guide dog that would not cause her allergies to flare.
Litters of Poodles x Labradors were bred in an attempt to achieve this and we finally succeeded.
The main attraction of the Australian Labradoodle was their low and non-shedding coats, their wonderful disposition and kindness, their versatility, their intelligence and tenacity.
Today we find the Australian Labradoodle loved around the world as a calm, allergy-friendly soulmate.
What is the difference between a Labradoodle & an Australian Labradoodle?
A Labradoodle is created through the union of a Labrador retriever and a Poodle. These standard Labradoodles are known by many different names such as American Labradoodle, British Labradoodle, Early generations Labradoodle, and Labradoodle origin.
Standard Labradoodle can be bred to create a second generation of Labradoodle. Similarly, second-generation is used to create the third generation and so on. It is worth noticing that all Labradoodles come from a single lineage that is solely made up of poodles and Labradors.
In contrast to this, Australian Labradoodles have a more complex lineage. They are a cross between six different parent breeds:
- Labrador
- Poodle
- English Cocker Spaniel
- American Cocker Spaniel
- Curly Coat Retriever
- Irish Water Spaniel
