Authentic Australian Labradoodle Puppies For Sale

By Lakisha Barton


If you see an advertisement that says Australian Labradoodle puppies for sale you might not know quite what one is. The simple answer is that these are dogs which have been developed over a program stretching back for more than thirty years, firstly by cross-breeding Labradors and Poodles, later by introducing some other breeds into the mix and most recently focusing on developing a true hybrid between these two lovely dog types.

The highly selective breeding of pedigree dogs is acknowledged to bring problems. In the course of trying to strengthen desired qualities it is also likely that unwanted characteristic will be introduced. Cross-breeding pedigrees seeks to retain positive qualities of both parent breeds and reduce known problems.

Labrador Retrievers are famed for their even temperament, intelligence, their ability to concentrate and for their loyalty. They are one of the breeds most often trained as guides for the blind, and have a long history as hunting dogs. Worldwide they are a popular family pet as they are generally trustworthy around children.

Poodles are unusual in being available in a range of sizes. They have been used for police work, hunting, herding and because of their high intelligence they often excel in obedience competitions. One of their most desirable qualities is that they shed their coat far less than many other dog types; this is one of the things that breeders have sought to retain in the mix.

Asthmatics or those with other allergies may find that they can tolerate Labradoodles in their home even though other dogs aggravate their health problems. The low or no shed coat is hypo-allergenic and of course it also reduces the work of removing hair from around the home. The Labrador and Poodle mix has resulted in a highly intelligent animal with a gentle temperament. They have been used as guide dogs, therapy dogs and they make good family pets.

Labradoodles are a breed that appreciates close contact with the humans around them. Their temperament predisposes them to bond strongly and they will do best in a home where they have lots of companionship. Since they tend to high intelligence they will benefit from a training program which begins early. This will channel their fun-loving nature in a way that is positive for both the dog and the owner.

When you see Australian Labradoodle puppies for sale you will know that you are being offered an animal with fits a recognized breed standard. Some people might suggest that any mix of Labrador and Poodle parentage is by definition a Labradoodle; this discounts the work that has gone on since the 1980s to ensure that the offspring reflects the best of both sides of their parentage and that common problems either have been reduced or eliminated.

It is doubtful if any other dog type offers such a wide range of choice for the potential owner. Australian Labradoodle puppies for sale can be found in three recognized sizes, toy, miniature and standard and there are a range of colors to choose from, these include but are not limited to silver, cream, chalk, red, apricot and chocolate.
