By Marissa Velazquez


Australian Labradoodle puppies are produced from crossing either standard Toy Poodles and Labradors, or Miniatures and Labradors. First puppies of this strain were first cross bred in Victoria, Australia by some breeder called Conron Wally. Conron was a known dog breeder during that time who always aimed at generating a species that would have a low-shedding skin and be trainable and gentle. Conron desired these properties since they would work well for individuals with allergies for fur and dander.

All the attributes or properties he desired were available in Labradors and Poodles. The Labrador is very trainable and gentle whereas poodles have low-shedding coats. The first breeding research was carried out in 1955 and resulted into the name Labradoodles. However the name stayed unpopular till the year 1988 when the dogs began gaining application as allergen-free guide pets.

The crossbreeding experiment resulted in a litter of puppies with one called Sultan. Sultan possessed all the qualities Wally was searching for. He was very intelligent with a strong personality that permitted him to serve as an efficient guide dog. Sultan was sent to work as a guide dog in Hawaii and was successful. After such great success, other breeders noticed the advantages of the experiment Wally had performed and they began breeding Labradors and Poodles.

When trained properly, Labradoodle puppies have numerous several attractive characteristics that make them suitable for employment in various jobs. First, they are great pets for families.
