Labradoodle, the best of both breeds.

The Labradoodle is one of the most popular designer dog these days, it is a hybrid dog made by breeding a purebred Labrador Retriever with a purebred Standard Poodle.

The Labradoodle is known for its outstanding intelligence and trainability, low allergy coat, low to non-shedding coat and lack of doggie odour. They are slightly heavier than the Standard Poodle with strong front limbs. They are an overall balanced dog with a slightly longer than square build. They have three sizes: Standard, Medium, and Miniature.

The standard set by the Australian Labradoodle Association of America for the Australian Labradoodle and the Labradoodle are the same in reference to size and structure for the Standard Labradoodle, Medium Labradoodle and Miniature Labradoodle.
