History
The history of the breed began in Australia at the end of 1980's. The intent was to create a breed that had a temperament of a service dog and that was suitable for people with allergies. Australian labradoodle is a cross of five breeds: Labrador retriever, Poodle, Irish Water Spaniel, English and American cockerspaniels. The goal of breeding is to produce healthy, well-structured, allergy-friedly dogs that are easy to train and friendly towards people and other dogs. The breed is still developing and the process is monitored by worldwide Australian labradoodle associations (WALA, ALAEU, ALAA).
