Over the years, other breeds have been infused into some of the lines of the authentic Australian Labradoodles. These breeds were carefully chosen to enhance specific characteristics in the Labradoodle. The infused breeds include the Irish Water Spaniel as well as the American and English Cocker Spaniel.
The name Labradoodle was retained because the foundation is and always will be the Labrador and Poodle combination. The name Australian Labradoodle has come to represent the multi-generation labradoodles. Multi-generation doodles have been bred to be human companions and great family dogs. Though careful selective breeding they are consistently low to non-shedding and most have allergy friendly coats. These beautiful animals are very intelligent, non-aggressive and easily trainable.
In the 1980s two research facilities ( Tegan Park and Rutland Manor) were developed in Australia to further develop successful Labradoodles. Today, there are many exceptional breeders throughout North America. To ensure that you purchase your Labradoodle from a reputable breeder, be sure your breeder is an accredited breeder member (not just a member) with one of the recognized associations.
