Max the Labradoodle - Dog of the Month

Hello Dog Lovers!
I thought I would take the time to share with you some information on my breed as there is still a lot unknown about us.


There are three different ‘types’ of Labradoodle that are known to be currently being bred.

·         The Australian Labradoodle, bred here in Australia

·         The Australian Labradoodle bred in the USA

·         And the American Labradoodle.
The Australian Labradoodle bred in Australia is recognized by both the Labradoodle Association of Australia and the International Australian Labradoodle Association Inc. These dogs are being bred with the hope of creating a purebred standard.  The American Labradoodle is a hybrid breed and is created by crossing a Poodle with a Labrador Retriever.

The problem you can run into with ‘hybrid’ breeds is that there is currently no breed standard and not all dogs are crossed purely 50%, meaning sometimes you may get a Labrador crossed with a Standard poodle, or you may get a Labradoodle crossed with Labrador resulting, possibly, in a more ‘Labrador’ looking dog. Until a breed standard is developed these dog’s will not be recognised as a ‘pure breed’. 
Planned cross breeding was first created in Australia in the 1980’s. The goal was to create a ‘new’ breed of dog with the best attributes of the original breeds they were crossed with. The hope was to produce assistance dogs that didn’t shed hair. The two perfect candidates, the Labrador and Standard Poodle. Today, the Labradoodle has been bred and used as assistance dogs throughout Australia and Hawaii though they are yet to have the non-shedding characteristic fixed in all the cross breeds.
In 1997 the very first Australian Labradoodle Breed Standard was written with the goal of having the breed recoganised as a pure breed. . The Australian Labradoodle currently consists of 6 different breeds in its origin. The confirmed and approved parent breeds of the Australian Labradoodle are the Poodle (Standard, Miniature, Toy, Labrador Retriever, Irish Water Spaniel, Curly Coat Retriever, American and English Cocker Spaniel.)
The breed standard is still being worked towards.

There a number of different breeds coming out considered as ‘hybrid’ dogs. A lot of these dogs are crossed with the Poodle, as their coat is great for any allergy suffers and they’re also a very intelligent breed. Some of these breeds you may have heard of;

·         The Cavoodle – Cavalier cross Poodle

·         Spoodle – Spaniel cross Poodle

·         Groodle – Golden Retriever cross Poodle

If you are looking into purchasing a cross breed dog you should always do your research as if they are a pure bred. Look into the history of both parents and research information on the breed. Make sure you’re finding the right temperamental dog for your family.



Interesting stuff!
Have a great weekend!

Gibbo!
