ABOUT THE LABRADOODLE

Labradoodles are an intended cross between a Labrador and a standard poodle. The breed originated in Australia in the 1970’s when a man called Wally Cochran was prompted to breed a dog for a blind woman who suffered from allergies. The result was a success as the puppies inherited the genes from the poodle which provide the curly  some  non shedding coats with the trainable loving nature of the Labrador. This was the beginning of the Labradoodle.

Labradoodles are now widely bred in Australia, America and in the U.K. The aim of the breed is to produce a puppy with either a curly or wavy, low or ideally non shedding coat. but no one can guarantee this with the English labradoodles,  I would say they are  light shedding if they shed it is very minimal.. ((the Australian labradoodles  wool coat/fleece are non shedding and hypoallergenic (Some puppies in a litter will be more smooth coated but they will still have a Labradoodle personality!)

Labradoodles are loyal, loving companions who prove to be good guard dogs in the home. They enjoy the company of people and other dogs and their temperament makes them an ideal choice for families with children. They can be very energetic and agile and enjoy dog agility.

Labradoodles are very intelligent and trainable. They are often used as working dogs and perform a variety of roles which is why they are a popular choice with the charities Canine Partners for Independence and Guide Dogs for the Blind They can be taught many commands and can transform the lives of people with disabilities.

• full of cross-bred vigour –

• born with fantastic temperaments – intelligent, affectionate, and playful

• extremely sociable, friendly and non-aggressive – perfect companions

• very trainable – quick to learn and eager to please

• absolutely beautiful

• Some only breed first generation puppies (Labrador X Poodle) saying that these have the best ‘hybrid vigour’ and temperaments. These are referred to as
  F1 Labradoodles.

• Some back-cross their first generation Labradoodles to a pure-bred – usually a Poodle to strengthen the Poodle coat influence – saying that these have the best ‘hybrid vigour’ and allergy friendly coat. These are referred to as
  F1B Labradoodles.

• Others will only breed their Labradoodles to another Labradoodle producing multi-generational Labradoodles, saying that these have the best ‘hybrid vigour’, temperaments and allergy friendly coats. These are referred to as
  Multi-gen Labradoodles. But we have seen no scientific evidence for this or against any of these claims!!
