The Australian Labradoodle is a crossbreed developed in Australia, originally bred as a hypoallergenic guide dog. It is a mix of several breeds, primarily the Labrador Retriever, Poodle, and Cocker Spaniel (both American and English). While it shares origins with the Labradoodle (Labrador and Poodle mix), the Australian Labradoodle is a more complex and carefully developed breed. Breeders aim for consistency in traits such as temperament, coat type, and health.
