About Labradoodles

Although they are an increasingly popular breed, many people still have numerous questions about Labradoodles. They are, in fact, a cross between Standard Poodles and Labrador Retrievers, but the mix is not as simple as it seems. Bred in Australia since the 1970s, Labradoodles are a breed unto themselves with a variety of specific and determining criteria.

Information about Labradoodles
Labradoodles are extremely intelligent, friendly dogs that combine the best elements from both of their original breeds. Their fleece coat is usually allergy/asthma-friendly and the dogs have no body odor. Typically, only one monthly brushing is all that is needed for maintenance, although some owners also prefer trimming their dog's hair a couple of times a year.

Another important fact about Labradoodles is their intelligence. Owners are typically surprised at how responsive their pets are, seemingly capable of knowing what is wanted of them ahead of time. Their heightened intelligence also means that they need to be properly trained to ensure proper obedience.

At Washington Labradoodles, our goal is to provide you with all the information you need about Labradoodles throughout the adoption process. Our puppies were born in the United States but come from the original Labradoodle breeding location at Tegan Park in Australia. Although there are a number of locations offering first generation Labradoodles, only multi-generational dogs can guarantee all the expected benefits from the breed.
