Australian Labradoodle Puppies for Sale
About the Australian Labradoodle
The Australian Labradoodle is a more developed, multi-generational breed than most doodles, founded on the Labrador Retriever and Poodle with early infusions of Cocker Spaniel and other breeds to stabilize coat and temperament. Bred deliberately in Australia for guide-dog work, it is prized for a consistent, low-shedding fleece or wool coat and a gentle, people-focused nature. These medium dogs are typically friendly, intuitive, and highly trainable, making excellent family and therapy companions. They come in miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Coat maintenance is significant, and reputable breeders health-test extensively, which distinguishes quality lines.
Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.

History
The Australian Labradoodle traces to Wally Conron's 1980s Labrador-Poodle crosses for a low-allergen guide dog, after which Australian breeders added Cocker Spaniel and other lines and bred multi-generationally toward a distinct type. Unlike a simple first-cross Labradoodle, it is being developed as a stabilized breed with breed clubs and registries. It remains unrecognized by major all-breed kennel clubs but has dedicated associations.
Temperament
These dogs are typically affectionate, intuitive, and eager to please, well known for gentleness with children and sensitivity to their owners' moods. Their intelligence and trainability make them popular as therapy and assistance dogs. They thrive on companionship and can be prone to separation distress if left alone too long.
Questions to ask a Australian Labradoodle breeder
- Are the parents health-tested for hips, elbows, eyes, and PRA?
- Is the breeder affiliated with a recognized Australian Labradoodle association?
- What generation is this litter, and what coat type is expected?
Health considerations to discuss
Hip and elbow dysplasia. Inherited from the Labrador and Poodle lines; request orthopedic clearances.
Progressive retinal atrophy. Both foundation breeds can carry it; DNA testing of parents is expected in good lines.
Addison's disease. Seen in Poodle lines; ask about family history.
