There's Something About Labradoodles

Labradoodles are usually a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Standard Poodle, but now, after years of development and additional genetics, they are a breed all of their own! The Australian Labradoodle is a different variety, consisting of genes from 6 different dog breeds.
Labradoodles have been gaining popularity because of their exceptional intelligence and trainability, low to non-shedding coat which is hypo-allergenic, and their lack of dog-stinkiness. They also have great, friendly personalities, and are just darn cute!
A little history: The Labradoodle has been bred since the 1970’s, as a result of the Guide Dog Association creating research and breeding programs in search of an allergy friendly guide dog.

Labradoodles require at least a daily walk for excercise. They require little grooming compared to other breeds. Owners of labradoodles should be willing to spend time training and playing with their dog. They are smart and easy to train, but can get into trouble if they get bored.
According to
