Australian Labradoodles 101

Australian Labradoodles are a logical and planned crossbreed created in the country of Australia in the 1980s. The goal of the Australian clubs was to create a new "breed" with the best attributes of the original breeds. The original objective was to produce assistance dogs that do not shed hair or dander (for people with allergies). Australian Labradoodle guide dogs have been successfully trained and placed in many countries, but as of 2014 the non-shedding characteristic of the Standard Poodle has not become a 100% fixed attribute.

Australian Labradoodle Breed History

The Australian Labradoodle started out as a simple cross between the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle or Miniature Poodle. The American Labradoodle is this exact cross in North America. Australians, on the other hand, have taken the Labradoodle a few steps further. In 2004, it was announced that the Australian Labradoodle was not just a Labrador x Poodle cross but was a breed in its own right, developed over many years with particular goals in mind. To accomplish these goals, further development was done with parent breed infusions added to the already blooming Labrador x Poodle cross lines. The founders of the breed sought out the best way in which to compliment the Australian Labradoodle breed, and to develop the qualities that they found and loved in these dogs. In 1997, the very first Australian Labradoodle Breed ‘Standard’ was written which reflected these goals. The Australian Labradoodle currently consists of 6 different breeds in its origin. The confirmed and approved parent breeds of the Australian Labradoodle are the Poodle (Standard, Miniature, Toy, Labrador Retriever, Curly Coat Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel and the Irish Water Spaniel).
