Australian (mini) Labradoodle

The Australian Labradoodle originated in the 1970s/80s as an assistance dog for people with allergies. It is a cross of several breeds that have become an allergy friendly dog. It is a breed that has been around for over 25 years and is still too young for FCI recognition, but has its own World Wide Australian Labradoodle Association (WALA) and pedigree.
The Labradoodle has a friendly, sociable character and an allergy-friendly coat. Australian Labradoodles have a wavy or curly coat and do not emit body or coat odor. All this makes the Australian Labradoodle an ideal family dog. The coat of an Australian Labradoodle is special because in practice it appears that many people who have an allergic reaction to dogs do respond well to an Australian Labradoodle. Unfortunately, this does not apply to all allergic people, so it is important that you always get tested first.
