labradoodle ( ) is a cross-breed made through the Labrador Retriever and Standard, Miniature or Toy Poodle. The term first appeared in 1955, but was not popularized until 1988, when the mixture began to be used as a hypoallergenic guide dog, guard dog and even for dogs struggling for their strong strength and stamina. Currently they are not regarded as breeds by major familly and breeder organizations. Not all labradoodles are hypoallergenic, but these are the most sought after and valued qualities in this breed.

Histori
Labradoodle became known in 1988, when Australian breeder Wally Conron crossed the Labrador Retriever and Poodle Standard at the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia in Victoria.
Conron's aim is to combine a layer of low-pink dog hair with the softness and ability to train a Labrador dog, and to provide guide dogs suitable for people who have allergies to feathers and feathers. The sultan, a dog of this garbage, shows all the qualities that Conron was looking for and worked as a guide dog for a woman in Hawaii for ten years.
Although Victoria Guiding Dogs no longer breed labradoodles, they are raised by other guides and aid dog organizations in Australia and elsewhere. The Association for the West Australian Blind has introduced labradoodles into their training program, and the first, Jonnie, graduated in November 2010. Labradoodles is now widely used around the world as a guide, aid, and therapy dog ​​as well as being a popular family dog..

Conron has repeatedly stated he regrets starting a fashion for this type of crossing and maintaining it causing "a lot of damage" along with "many problems". He also felt he was to blame for "creating Frankenstein", adding that problems are being raised into dogs rather than breeding away from problems. He is further cited as claiming: "For every perfect one, you will find many crazy."

Appearance and temperament
Since labradoodle is a breed and not a breed, puppies do not have consistently predictable characteristics. While most labradoodles have some common traits, their appearance and behavioral characteristics remain, to some extent, unpredictable. Thus, the hair of the labradoodles can be anywhere from the tough to the soft, and may be straight, wavy, or curly. Straightly coated Labradoodles are said to have a "hair" coat, wavy necked dogs have a "feather" coat, and layered curly dogs have a "wool" coat. Some Labradoodles do shedding, although the mantle is usually less and has less "dog odor" than Labrador Retriever.
Like most Labrador Retrievers and poodles, the labradoodles are generally friendly, energetic and good with families and children. Labradoodles often show affinity for water and strong swimming ability from its mother.
Their mother breeds are both among the world's most intelligent breeds of dogs, where poodles are believed to be the smartest (apart from border collie).
Type
There is no consensus as to whether breeders should aim for the labradoodles to be known as breeds. Some breeders prefer to limit breeding to produce F1 hybrids (raised from poodles and Labrador than, for example F2 hybrids raised from two labradoodles) to ensure relatively uniform genetics among labradoodles, while maximizing genetic diversity of individual dogs to avoid inherited health problems which has plagued several breeds of pet dogs.
Others cultivate labradoodle into labradoodle for generations to come, and try to build new breeds. These dogs are usually referred to as multigenerational (multigen) or Australian Labradoodles. Labradoodles Australia also differs from early and multigenerational labradoodles because they may also have other offspring in their ancestors. English and American Cocker Spaniel ÃÆ'â € "cross poodles (ie cockapoos), Two Irish Water Spaniels and Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers are used in some Labradoodle Australia lines. The Curly Coated Retriever is also used, but these lines do not work and the offspring are no longer used.
The labradoodle coat is divided into three categories: wool (with tight curls, and a look similar to a poodle, but with a softer texture); fleece (soft and flowing freely, with a wavy or wavy appearance); or hair (which can be curly, straight or wavy, but more like texture with Labrador coat). Labradoodles coat colors include chocolate, cafe, parchment, cream, gold, apricot, red, black, silver, lime, parti colors (generally, any color the poodle has). The size may vary depending on the size of the poodle used (eg Toys, miniature, or standard).
Health
Labradoodles can have similar problems in their parent breeds. Poodle and Labrador Retrievers may experience pelvic dysplasia, and should have a specialist radiograph to check this issue before breeding. The mother breed can also have a number of eye disorders, and an examination by a qualified veterinary eye specialist should be performed on a breeding dog.
Elbow dysplasia is a known common problem in mother breeds, similar to pelvic dysplasia. This problem is becoming more common as a result of rapid growth during the puppy stage. Appropriate screening should be completed for this condition before breeding.
Labradoodles have been known to be prone to progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), a hereditary disease that causes blindness, occurring in both Poodle Miniatures and Cocker Spaniel. It is recommended that Labradoodles Australia be DNA tested for PRA before being raised.
One study has found that UK labradoodles have a higher incidence (4.6%) of multifocal retinal dysplasia (MRA) compared with Labrador Retriever. Cataracts are also common (3.7%) but the prevalence is proportional to Labrador.
There is evidence of several incidences of Addison's disease in Labradoodle Australia. The American Labradoodle Association of Australia is currently conducting research to try to determine the extent of the problem.
