Description |
Note: there are three
different types of Labradoodles currently being bred, the Australian Labradoodle bred in Australia, the Australian Labradoodle bred in the USA and the
American Labradoodle.
1. The Australian Labradoodle bred in Australia and recognized by the Labradoodle Association of Australia and the International Australian Labradoodle Association, Inc, is being bred with the goal of creating a purebred dog in mind. It is unclear how far the Australians have come in their development.
2. The American Labradoodle is a hybrid dog, bred by crossing the Poodle with the Labrador Retriever.
3. Some breeders are calling multi-generation Labradoodle's Australian Labradoodles (sometimes there are other breeds mixed in besides Lab and Poodle). Multi-generation Labradoodles are hybrids and are different than the ones being bred by the Australian clubs.
The dogs pictured in this info section are the Australian Labradoodles bred in Australia, with the goal of creating a purebred dog in mind. When contacting a breeder selling Australian Labradoodles, be sure to ask what type of Labradoodle they have.

Grooming |
Curly

and maybe two to three times a year, a trim, scissoring or clipping to keep
tidy. Most Australian
Labradoodles shed little to no hair and are possibly
non-allergenic. |
Origin |
This classic example of logical
and planned cross breeding was created in the country of Australia in the 1980's. The goal of the Australian clubs is to create a new "breed" with the best attributes of the original
breeds. Wally Conron's objective was to produce assistance dogs that do not shed
hair (for people with allergies).
Australian Labradoodle guide dogs have been successfully
trained and placed in Australia and Hawaii, but as yet the non-shedding
characteristic of the Standard Poodle has not become a fixed a tribute. The Australian Labradoodle started out as a simple cross
between the Labrador
Retriever and Standard Poodle or
Miniature Poodle and is still widely the case
in North America. Australian's, on
the other hand have taken the Labradoodle a few steps further. In mid 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 developers of the breed sought out the best way in which to
compliment the Australian Labradoodle breed, and to develop the qualities that
they find and love 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, Irish Water Spaniel, Curly
Coat Retriever, American Cocker Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel. |
