The History of the Labradoodle About 20 years ago, a trainer for the Royal Guide Dogs Association crossed a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle in an attempt to create an allergy friendly guide dog for an allergic client. One of the three pups produced by this mating proved to be allergy friendly. This trainer, Wally Conran, called his creation the Labradoodle. He went on to breed Labradoodles to Labradoodles which he called DoubleDoodles and DoubleDoodles to DoubleDoodles which he called TriDoodles. The majority of these dogs did not prove to be allergy friendly and his program was abandoned. But, of the 31 puppies Wally bred, 29 proved to have the intelligence and trainability to become guide dogs. The dream of creating a highly intelligent and trainable human companion with an allergy friendly, non shedding coat is being continued by a number of highly qualified, conscientious U.S. Breeders. These breeders continue the dream and add the extensive health testing that had been lacking in the dogs from Australia. Additionally, the U.S. breeders add the important element of socialization of the puppies in a home environment. Over the years, other breeds have been infused into some of the lines of the Multi-generation Australian Labradoodle. These breeds were carefully chosen to enhance specific characteristics in the Labradoodle. The infused breeds include the Irish Water Spaniel as well as the American and English Cocker Spaniel. The name Labradoodle was retained because the foundation is and always will be the Labrador and Poodle. The name Australian Labradoodle has come to represent the multi-generation labradoodles. Multi-generation Australian Labradoodles have been bred to be human companions and helpers and just plain wonderful family pets. Though careful selective breeding they are consistently low to non-shedding and most have allergy friendly coats. They are very intelligent, non-aggressive and easily trainable.
