Labradoodle



The earliest reference to a Labradoodle is in the book 'Into The Water Barrier' written in 1955 by Sir Donald Campbell. Labradoodles are later bred, and popularized by Wally Conron in the 1980s for the purpose of creating a hypo allergenic guide dog. He abandoned the endeavor, which was then taken up by many breeders simultaneously world wide thanks to the advent of the internet. Labradoodles are now recognized as the foundation hybrid for Australian Labradoodles, Australian Cobberdogs, and Cobberdogs.



  • Labradoodles are goofy, active and think they are people.
  • Early hybrid Labradoodles as these were often solid colours like Labradors, black being most prominent.
  • Scruffy semi shedding hair coats are most common in first generation (F1)Labradoodles.
  • When F1 Labradoodles are back-crossed to the Poodle they are F1B Labradoodles and their coats are usually curlier and shed less than F1 Labradoodles
  • Labradoodles are probably the most popular hybrid dog in history. A google search brings up 35,200,000 results, well over double the results of any other hybrid created since Labradoodles!
  • Most seem to inherit the best traits of their parent breeds, Labrador and Poodle. They generally benefit from hybrid vigor, but can also inherit genetic flaws such as vWD, PRA, or hip dysplasia.
  • At some point in the future the term 'Labradoodle' will likely refer to a group of breeds much the same way Cattle Dogs, Terriers, and Pointing Dogs refer to multiple related breeds within the designation.
  • There is no set breed standard for early generation Labradoodles
