Breed History
Where the breed came from
In 1989, a woman was in need of an allergy friendly service dog. She reached out to Wally Conron of the Royal Guide Dog Association of Australia and explained her husbands allergies, and her need for a service dog. Conron started out crossing a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, which is known as the Labradoodle.
Saliva samples from three of the puppies from the Poodle and Labrador Retriever cross were sent to the couple, and one of the three was allergy friendly. This puppy, named Sultan, was trained and became a beloved family companion for the couple as well as an excellent service dog.
Today, the Australian Labradoodle consists of the Poodle, Labrador Retriever, Irish Water dog, and Cocker Spaniel. These four breeds were found to produce a consistent temperament, conformation or build, and allergy friendly coat.
The Australian Labradoodle puppies that we match with forever families are multigenerational. Their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents, were chosen to be parents for their excellent conformation, and temperament.
