I Love Dogs
Especially Doodles
Allegedly, the first Doodle in the United States was a Cockapoo that was bred in the 1940s in the US when Poodle and Cocker Spaniel were crossed. Monica Dickens - the great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, claims to have bred the first Goldendoodle in 1969. Wally Conron was the first person to successfully breed a documented Doodle while working as a puppy-breeding manager for the Royal Guide Dog Association of Australia. The Labradoodle was the first breed produced by Wally Conron in 1989. It took Conron two years and thirty-three trials to be successful. His goal was to create an allergy-free guide dog for a vision-impaired woman, whose husband was allergic to dog hair. Apart from the fact that many breeders are doing wonderfully in developing some healthy breeds, these dogs are not recognized by major kennel clubs such as AKC, CKC, and UKC.
