Labradoodles are designer dogs resulting from the
crossbreeding of a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. Initially designed to
serve as hypoallergenic guide dogs, Labradoodles soon became popular for
their gentleness and joyfulness. Labradoodles are high-energy dogs that
combine the personality traits of both Poodles and Labradors.
Because the Labradoodle is not a breed, there is no consistency in terms
of appearance or temperament. Size, coat colour, and character vary a lot
and they may be prone to the same diseases their parents are. Regardless,
they make wonderful family dogs and are also used as guide, assistance,
and therapy dogs.
