Beautiful Australian Labradoodle Puppies For Sale

By Alyce Powell


The Australian Labradoodle puppies for sale are good for the home as well as for a service dog purpose. A Labradoodle is a crossbreed created by crossing a Labrador Retriever with a Poodle. This mixed breed was created from these two pure breeds for allergic people. But Aussies are more than the sum of these two part.

The essential purpose of the pioneering breeder who started this breed was to merge the features of the Labrador with the coat of a Poodle. Poodle coats shed less and for this reason this breed has been popular with people who suffer from allergies to hair and dander. His achievements are reflected in growing demand. As revealed by a recent study, there is a reason for this demand. Such a breed has caused less problems for allergic pet owners.

Growing demand has also added new varieties. The range of available choices can be perplexing uninformed customers. It is better to do some advance research before one looks for breeders. Presently there are different types of litters being bred. There is a variety of generational crosses and breed mixes.

Learning about the Doodle history is a useful place to start the research. This crossbreed was deliberately bred Royal Guide Dog Association of Australia by its breeding manager, Wally Conron. Wally had been tasked to breed a dog for a blind female customer in Hawaii. She requested a guide dog that would not shed hair, as her spouse was allergic to pet hair. He first thought a Poodle would be ideal. But after 33 failed tries to find a selection which worked, he decided to mix a Poodle with a Labrador. This was because Poodles did not make a good guide dog. Of the 3 puppies that came from the first mating, one was acceptable for use in this household.

When he tried to replicate his effort, in a little of 10 pups, only three had nonallergenic coats. While his efforts were taken up by other breeders, he regretted his actions. He worried about the proliferation of indiscriminate breeders who followed him. In an interview, he said few are ethical and the dogs are being sold without testing. Many also have health problems.

The demand for Doodles did not fade. The genie is out of the bottle. After he left the business, an Australian veterinarian, Kate Shoeffel took up where he left off. So also did Beverley Manner of Rutland Manor and her daughter Angela Wetzel Cunningham, who later started Tegan Park. Litters from all three of these Australian breeding programs made their way to the United States. All three of these breeders are trying to establish a breed standard. This is what distinguishes Australian Labradoodles from other Labrador and Poodle mixes.

American Aussies are distinct from those still being bred in Australia. Aussie Doodles in both nations are also distinct from earlier crosses as their bloodline has absorbed additional breeds. This is how successive breeding has developed.

To improve the coat, the primary, F1, generation was crossed to a Poodle to produce what is identified as an F1B generation. Aussies are offspring of F1Bs mated with an adult of any succeeding generation or with a permitted designated breed. The permitted breeds are Curly Coat Retriever, English and American Cocker Spaniels, the Irish Water Spaniel and the original parent species. The Australian Labradoodle puppies for sale on the market should be bought by educated buyers.
