Australian Labradoodle puppies for sale in British Columbia

Breed history

The Australian Labradoodle was originally developed in the late 1980s in Australia by Wally Conron, who sought to create a hypoallergenic guide dog by crossing a Labrador Retriever with a Poodle. The resulting dogs displayed intelligence, trainability, and low-shedding coats, making them suitable for service work. Over time, Australian breeders further refined the breed by incorporating other breeds such as the English and American Cocker Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, and Curly-Coated Retriever to enhance temperament, coat quality, and structure. Unlike standard Labradoodles, Australian Labradoodles are a more stabilized, multigenerational breed known for their friendly demeanor, allergy-friendly coats, and suitability as family companions and therapy dogs.
