Breed information
Australian Labradoodles have a unique personality. They just love being with their humans and follows us everywhere. They are very intelligent dogs that wants to please us so they are easy to train. They also have a goofy side and are happy dogs. They oftently have a toy in their mouth. They also can be very athletic and are always happy to follow us in our activities or for a walk. But they can also be cuddly coach potatoes when it is the time to watch a movie. They are very loyal and are not a good breed to be alone all day. They are real family members and wants to be with us where ever we go, even at work when possible and safe.
Because they are recognized as a BREED by the Ofa, they don’t shed and are allergies friendly. But they need to be brushed at least once a week and groomed every two months. They are not ‘Doodles’ meaning a crossed breed like Labradoodles, Goldendooldes, Bernedoodles or else. Their characteristics are stable as the opposite for crossed breeds. (more info on the website).
