But, the name\u2014and the dog itself\u2014did not become popular until several decades later. In the 1980s, Wally Conran, a breeding manager for Australian Guide Dog Services, found himself faced with a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A client needed a guide dog but also suffered from terrible allergies to dogs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/the-history-of-the-labrador-retriever\/\">Labradors have long been used as guide dogs<\/a>, mainly owing to their gentle nature. But they are certainly not hypoallergenic. The curly coat of the Poodle does \u2018catch\u2019 some of the loose hairs and dander that are responsible for allergies. So, for some people, that means fewer allergies.<a name=\"vs\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australian Labradoodle vs Labradoodle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Labradoodle born down under does not automatically qualify as an \u2018Australian Labradoodle\u2019! There are significant differences between the Labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Labradoodles have one Labrador parent and one Poodle parent.  Australian Labradoodles can be a blend of up to six different breeds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Labrador<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poodle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cocker Spaniel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>American Cocker Spaniel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Curly Coated Retriever<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irish Water Spaniel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australian Labradoodle Breeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These breeds are selectively mixed together to create a dog with a winning temperament. But also with a low-shedding coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australian Labradoodles have been bred this way since the 1980s. Even now, breeders are striving to make a consistent set of breed-specific traits. They hope these can be reliably passed down from one generation to the next. And that&#8217;s why Australian Labradoodles have far more predictable traits. The breed standard was introduced in 1997. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun Fact!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Royal Guide Dogs (Wally Conran worked for these guys) bred 31 of these original Labradoodles. And of those 31, 29 became guide dogs. Pretty impressive for the first-ever batch of this brand-new mix. Don&#8217;t you think?<a name=\"size\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australian Labradoodle Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your full grown Australian Labradoodle can reach around 24 inches tall and weigh about 77 lbs. This will be slightly more for males on average than for females.<a name=\"coats\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doodle Coats and Colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>They can have one of two coat types. Either fleece-textured or wool-textured. They are often described as teddy bear-like. And this certainly adds to their appeal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fleece-textured coats are soft and either straight or wavy. They can also have spiral-shaped curls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wool-textured coats feel\u2014you guessed it!\u2014like wool! And they&#8217;re usually curly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are loads of different Australian Labradoodle colors! Some of the most popular include black, red, white, apricot, caramel and even parti patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grooming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your Australian Labradoodle has a fleece- or wool-textured coat, they will need weekly brushing. You might find it useful to enlist a professional groomer. They can trim your pup\u2019s coat two or three times a year. When grooming, check your pup&#8217;s eyes, ears and nails too.<a name=\"temperament\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australian Labradoodle Temperament<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Australian Labradoodles are gentle, loyal, and sociable. They are not aggressive and are very good with children. Plus, they are intelligent and quick to learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally playful, they enjoy time with their human families. But they should not be left alone or in crates for too long. Also, Australian Labradoodles are active dogs. Your dog will need over an hour of daily activity.<a name=\"training\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positive Training Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Australian Labradoodles are often described as \u2018born to serve.\u2019 This means that they\u2019re naturally quick to learn. And as a result, relatively easy to train. But, it\u2019s very important to begin training and socialization early in your puppy\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socialization can have a huge impact on your puppy\u2019s development. And puppies that are socialized early are less likely to display behavioral problems later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that positive, rewards-based training is more effective than punishment-based training. In fact, punishments negatively affect behavior. But rewards-based training actually improves your dog\u2019s ability to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using rewards to train your pup, make sure you include any edible treats as part of your pup&#8217;s daily food allowance. This will help prevent weight problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australian Labradoodle Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid vigor suggests mixed-breed dogs experience fewer inherited disorders than their purebred counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The limited gene pools of purebreds can cause a number of health-related issues. This is due to years of inbreeding. But, this doesn\u2019t mean mixed breeds are entirely free from the same inherited conditions. They may still inherit certain health conditions from either parent. So, if you\u2019re considering an Australian Labradoodle, you should be aware of the potential health concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents should have good hip and elbow scores, a recent clear eye test and and a clear screening for the bleeding disorder Von Willebrand&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Australian Labradoodle Right For Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An Australian Labradoodle is a great fit if you have children or other pets. Or if you\u2019re looking simply for a gentle companion that gets along with anyone. They tend to be calmer than the standard Labradoodle. Plus, they&#8217;re quick learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early socialization and consistent rewards-based training will help your Australian Labradoodle become a great people-pleaser. But, if you work away from home for long hours, this pup may not be the best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Australian-Labradoodle-LS-tall.jpg\" alt=\"australian labradoodle\" class=\"wp-image-26541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Australian-Labradoodle-LS-tall.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Australian-Labradoodle-LS-tall-143x300.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Australian-Labradoodle-LS-tall-488x1024.jpg 488w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Australian-Labradoodle-LS-tall-200x420.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alaa-labradoodles.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Australian Labradoodle Association of America<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiby EF, Rooney NJ, and Bradshaw JWS. 2004. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/contentone\/ufaw\/aw\/2004\/00000013\/00000001\/art00010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dog training methods: their use, effectiveness and interaction with behavior and welfare<\/a>.
