Things To Know About Australian Labradoodles

By Karina Frost


Canines have this certain quality that comforts you. Whenever you are alone they keep you company and for most, they have found a best friend in the identity of a dog. It is true that there are those who fail to see their true value. But there are also others who are willing to go to great lengths to ensure their safety.

One particular dog that would make you feel like you have a family is the Labradoodles. Australian Labradoodles are the perfect canines for people who want to have a dog in their family. This dog is well regarded by most people who had the chance to own one.

The Labradoodle, which gained popularity in 1988, is a cross breed of a poodle and the Labrador Retriever hence the name Labradoodle. They were cross bred by Australian Wally Conron for the purpose of creating a guide dog for blind people. What is most interesting about this breed is that they have a sort of hypoallergenic fur which is perfect for people who are allergic to dogs. But not all kind Labradoodles have this kind of fur.

If you are considering choosing a Labradoodle as your pet, then you should know the different sizes you can choose from. They have the normal size, the miniature size and the medium size. It would depend entirely on your discretion what size of dog you are more comfortable with. Standard size measures more than 1 foot and 10 inches, the smallest size has the height of 16 inches and less and the medium canines stand 1 foot 5 up to two feet and seven inches.

Because this is a hybrid type of dog, the shade of the coats and its texture would vary. Textures of the coats can be very curly to wavy to very soft. Most dogs of this breed have no odor and therefore would not cause any allergic reaction. You will not see a single coat shed. But there are some Labradoodles that do have minimal odor and also have minimal shedding. This is due to the stronger genes of the Labrador breed.

They are well known all over the world because they have acquired the sharp instinct and smartness of the Labrador and the social and loving trait of the Poodle. These are just some of the qualities that made this type of dog very well suited for people who wants to have a constant companion, families, the elderly and young kids. You also need to be prepared for their playfulness. They are great attention seekers which is why they will need your constant notice.

Labradoodles are now becoming a world wide sensation. They have become the picture of seen in campaigns to raise awareness for severe diseases like cancer. The term Labradoodle has also been widely accepted ever since it has been included in the English dictionary of Oxford.

They were originally regarded as the best guide dogs especially by those who are blind. Now they are regarded as good family dogs. They are sometimes known as the best companions.

No matter what the size is, one fact remains the same. That is that Labradoodles are great companions for young and adults alike. If you give them the proper amount of care and attention that they need, they will return everything a few folds back.
