What exactly is an Australian Labradoodle?

The original Australian Labradoodles were a proprietary mix of different dog breeds: labs, poodles, English Cocker Spaniels, Wheatons, and Irish Water Dogs. Now, Australian Labradoodles are bred with other Australian Labradoodes, so the dogs are their own breed, not a mix. According to the Australian Labradoodle Association of America, Australian Labradoodles must include at least 3 of the 5 approved breeds, and they must be a cross. Multigenerational means that an Australian Labradoodle has many parents and several grandparents who were also Australian Labradoodles. It is several generations removed from any of the original dog breeds. All Colonial Village Labradoodle puppies can directly trace their pedigrees to Australia. All of our puppies are considered 6th generation or higher. Call us biased, but this blend makes some adorable dogs!

What is a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle?

Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are a cross between many different parent breeds. The breed originated in Australia in the 1980s with the intent of creating an allergy-friendly service dog for the blind. Australian Labradoodles are a combination of a Poodle, Labrador Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Water dogs. These breeds were hand-selected for specific breed qualities to create the ideal service dog for those with allergies. Since then, the breed has continued on and spread across the world. Australian Labradoodles are now considered their own breed with its own breed clubs (ALAA and WALA).
