Australian Labradoodle
The Australian Labradoodle (ALD) is a carefully bred mix of the Labrador Retriever, Poodle, and Cocker Spaniel. Some older bloodlines may also include the Irish Water Spaniel and/or Curly-Coated Retriever. This breed originated in Australia during the 1980s and was specifically developed for service and therapy work.
It's important to clarify that the Australian Labradoodle does not include any Australian Shepherd (Aussie) in its lineage. Additionally, it should not be confused with the American Labradoodle, which is simply a cross between the Labrador Retriever and Poodle.
