Australian Labradoodles are different from all other Labradoodles.

In the early days, the Australian Labradoodle was simply a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle. Dogs from this cross typically were bred to each other over future generations, whereby the Australian Dogs are also know as '' multi-generational'' Labradoodles.

 Then, in the late 1980's Tegan Park and Rutland Manor, the two founders of the Australian Labradoodles as we know them today, began carefully infusing several other breeds into early generations of their lab/poodle crosses, to improve temperament, coat, confirmation, and size. The infused breeds include Irish Water Spaniel as well as the American and English Cocker Spaniel. The resulting Labradoodles subsequently have been bred to each other continuing the multi-generational tradition.

Today, Australian Labradoodles are wonderful, intelligent dogs with lush coats that are more reliably low to non- shedding and allergy friendly than other types of Labradoodles such as first generation Lab/Poodle crosses or first generation crosses bred back to the poodle. Even when the other types of Labradoodle are bred for generations, the result is not an Australian Labradoodle as the attributes of the infused breeds were not included in their ancestry. We have had many people with dog allergies come and spend time with Diva and all 7 of her pups, and when the leave they are astounded that they didn't have a break out , or any reaction to the dogs during there visit.
