What is a labradoodle
What type of labradoodle or Australian Labradoodle?Labradoodles and Australian Labradoodles can be very different depending on the type. It is very important to understand the type and pedigree of your labradoodle or Australian Labradoodle! Just breeding a poodle to a lab or labradoodle to a labradoodle does not make a quality pet!
There are two ways to describe Labradoodles (Lab/ poodle only crosses) and Australian Labradoodles (lab/ poodle/ spaniel crosses).
- Physically by coat type: using the terms Hair coated Labradoodle, Fleece Coated Labradoodle, Wool coated Labradoodle, Fleece Coated Australian Labradoodle, Wool Coated Australian Labradoodle
- Pedigree descriptions: First Generation Labradoodle (f1) or Second Generation Labradoodle (F1B) or Multigeneration Labradoodle or Multigeneration Australian Labradoodle
I will describe both together to give you some background and a better understanding of the breeds. This list describes the breed physically and the stars indicate the detail of the pedigree below.
- full Breed Poodle Wool Coat: Poodle
- Wool Coated Australian Labradoodle**** OR Wool Coated Labradoodle***
- Fleece Coated Australian Labradoodle**** OR Fleece Coated Labradoodle**
- Hair Coated Labradoodle* sometimes **
- Full Breed Lab Hair Coat: Lab
*First Generation Labradoodle: 50% poodle, 50% lab,mild to light shedding, sometimes no shedding. They have wispy coats long or short in length, wiry or fleece in texture, while basically straight in appearance. Typically, First generation Labradoodles have the great labradoodle intelligence with higher "lab like" energy. Shedding amount is difficult to determine at a young age, tests seem to link texture with shedding, not the amount of wave or curl. Current direction points to the wiry texture as typically resulting in shedding with the softer fleece texture resulting in very low to a non shedding coat. First Generation looks more like "Benji" the movie dog. First generation Labradoodles are of excellent temperament and health if the parents are of the same quality. A great choice for the family who doesn't mind some shedding, high energy, the First generation Labradoodle look and have no dog related allergies.
