About the Labradoodle

The Labradoodle is one of the most popular designer crossbreeds in the world, created by crossing a Labrador Retriever with a Standard, Miniature, or Toy Poodle. First bred in Australia in the 1980s as a hypoallergenic guide dog, the Labradoodle quickly won hearts with its friendly personality, intelligence, and adorable teddy bear appearance. Their wavy or curly coat comes in a wide range of colors, from cream and gold to chocolate, black, and red.
