Wally Conran first started this cross breed in Australia in 1989. He was prompted to do this by a blind woman who suffered from allergies to dogs. The first mating between the Standard Poodle and Labrador Retriever was successful and produced three low allergy pups. It became readily apparent that the hybrid produced was able to surpass the best qualities of both breeds. Labradoodles combine the best of the 2 base breeds that went into their development. 1. Labradoodles are known to posses the gentle, sweet disposition of the retrievers combined with the intelligence and allergy friendly coats of the poodles. Labradoodles are wonderful with children and people who have special needs. They are non-aggressive, highly intelligent dogs that are extremely easy to train. They want nothing more than to please their people. 2. Labradoodle’s coats vary. First cross or F1 labradoodles have a very high percentage of shedding coats. Back cross labradoodles tend to be lighter shedding because of the higher percentage of poodle in their genes. Multi-generation doodles tend to be the best for people with allergies or someone who is looking for a non-shedding dog. 3. The Labradoodle can vary in size:
Color : Color varies from chalk (milky white), shades of cream, apricot/cream, gold, black, chocolate, Cafe au lait, red, caramel and silver. Coat : Labradoodles usually have no body odor, require minimal bathing and brushing and rarely, if ever, attract fleas. They seldom shed hair but will need to be groomed. There are three coat varieties: Wooly : Somewhat like a poodle. Requires regular grooming and is allergy friendly. Fleece : The ultimate coat. It is easily maintained, non shedding, allergy and asthma friendly. Hair : Anything from flat and straight to curls down the back and possibly wavy. It can vary from minimally to profusely shedding. Not likely to be allergy friendly. © Labra Dabra
