About Australian Labradoodles

The Origin of Australian Labradoodles

Australian Labradoodles originated in Australia during the 1980s. The breed was developed by crossing Labrador Retrievers and Poodles, aiming to create a hypoallergenic guide dog suitable for individuals with allergies. Over time, breeders introduced other breeds, such as the Cocker Spaniel, to enhance specific traits like temperament and coat quality.

Australian Labradoodle Colors

Australian Labradoodles have hair, not fur. Like human hair, their coat color can change as they get older. Most puppies who are born chocolate, will get highlights as they age and they will turn Cafe, Lavender, or Parchment. (Sometimes even a mix!) This change can happen at 8 weeks of age, or at 8 years of age. Sometimes their entire coat color changes, or they will just get a highlight spot on their tail or back. If you have any questions about coat colors, please let us know!

Examples of coat colors can be found on the Australian Labradoodle Association of America's website.

Australian Labradoodle Coat

Australian Labradoodles have hair, not fur. Their coat is generally non shedding and comes in a variety of textures.

Please keep in mind that minimal hair loss is expected when brushing. We do not guarantee a non shedding coat.

Our most common texture is fleece. Fleece coats have a wonderfully soft feel. They can be strait, wavy, loose curly or curly. Fleece coats can change as they age. For example, a wavy coat can become curly.

When puppies are 6-12 months of age their coat will transition from a thinner puppy coat to a thicker adult coat.
