Labradoodle

The Labradoodle became known in 1988, when an Australian breeder crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. The breeder's goal was to combine the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness and trainability of the Labrador Retriever. Today a Labradoodle can be a cross between the Labrador Retriever and a standard, miniature or toy poodle. Most of the characteristics of this dog will depend on the crossbreed, meaning the breed of Poodle that was bred. The Labradoodle is an intelligent dog that makes an ideal family pet.
