What do you get when you combine the stunning good looks and sunny disposition of the Labrador Retriever with the affectionate nature, intelligence and devotion of the Standard Poodle or Miniature Poodle? A wonderful family dog known as the Labradoodle! The Labradoodle is the epitome of the perfect family dog. Less shedding and highly intelligent, it surpasses both the Standard Poodle or the Labrador from which it is bred.
Country of Origin: Australia
Labradoodle Breed History:
Labradoodles receive their heritage from the Labradoodle and the Poodle. The story began in 1988 when a manager of Guide Dogs, was in Hawaii on holiday and met 'P'. She told him of her dream to have a Guide Dog but this remained unfulfilled because of her husband's allergy to dog hair. She had heard that Standard Poodles had been trained for Guide Dog work in Australia and asked if their was any chance that this could be tried again.
The hope was to produce the fine temperament of the Labrador with the non shedding coat of the Poodle. The result of the union was three very cute Labradoodles, Sultan, Sheik and Simon. Most breeders breed 1st generation dogs. They do so to maintain hybrid vigor. The Labradoodle has the friendly nature and trainability of the Lab, and the intelligence of the Poodle.
Labradoodle Breed Description:
The Labradoodle comes in three sizes, Standard (largest), Medium (somewhere between the Standard and Miniature size), and Miniature (smallest). There should be no appreciable difference in the general appearance in any of the three sizes.
A compact dog, not exceptionally boxy nor long bodied. A galloping dog which gives the impression of light footed athleticism, and joyful bearing. Medium to light boning, graceful in movement and with vivacious expression. Coat should be non shedding, be of even length over body, on legs neck, tail and head, and should be as close to non allergenic as possible. Their unique traits of intuitive nature and the seeking of human eye contact should be easily discernible at a glance. Easily amenable to training.
