Combining the desirable traits of a purebred Labrador Retriever and
a Poodle (the “doodle”) ensures a great family pet that’s
intelligent, happy-go-lucky and friendly!
These sought-after cross-breeds are known as Labradoodles.
Labradoodles were first bred in Australia in the late 1980s as Guide Dogs (also known as “purpose-bred”) and quickly became popular in the 1990s. In addition, Labradoodles are versatile as great family pets and also as working dogs as service and therapy dogs as they love having a “job” to do.
