Australian Labradoodle

The Australian Labradoodle is a purpose-bred companion dog developed in Australia from Labradoodles and several other breeds to create a consistent, family-friendly dog with a low- to moderate-shedding coat. Known for their sociable nature, intelligence, and versatility, they are popular as family pets and therapy dogs. They are not the same as a first-generation Labrador Retriever–Poodle mix and are not currently recognized as a distinct breed by major kennel clubs.
