HISTORY

The history of the breed dates back the 1980’s where there were some litters of Poodles x Labradors bred for the Guide dog association to try to develop a breed that did not cause sensitivity to people with allergies.

The development of the labradoodle continued with infusions of other breeds and what evolved was the Labradoodle as we see it today.
