Labradoodles were developed in Australia as a special guide dog breed through crossbreeding Labrador Retrievers and Poodles. This was done by the RGDAA which is an association responsible with the enforcement of guide dog standards in Australia. The result of their effort was a dog breed that was a smart and sociable with a strong guiding instinct. It is because of this that the breed qualified as a guide dog making it useful to many.

Originally, labradoodles were developed to be hypoallergenic service dogs. Australian labradoodles are classified as designer dogs because they are not a purebred. From being a purely hypoallergenic dog as had been intended originally, the breed proved its versatility as both therapy and family dog. They make perfect family dogs, which makes paying to have a puppy more than worth the effort and the expense.

This dog is social and enjoys being the company of its owner. They have a lot of strength. The breed inherits this trait from the Labrador Retriever. On the other hand, they inherited their strong work ethic from the poodle. This makes labradoodles to have a blend of both parents. Labraddodles are not only popular in Australia but they are now becoming a popular breed globally.

Normally, dogs that are medium-sized usually grow up to 45 pounds and their shoulders rise up to 20 inches from the ground.

Puppies are usually great learners and exhibit a high level of trainability. They are able to master basic skills after a few repetitions. The first lesson of training that the puppies should be given is crate training so that they learn to stay inside when they need to be alone. This should be followed by training them to learn to poop outside the house or at a specific point in the house.

It is important that the dog be given room training so that it may learn how to behave inside the house. Training should be done at a young age for the dog to get learn and familiarize easily. The dog will need to be taught how to walk on a leash outdoors since walking a dog is important for its physical fitness.
