Labradoodle
Friendly. intelligent. Yours.
The Labradoodle didn't just start a trend, it started a whole movement. Before there were goldendoodles and bernedoodles and every-other-doodle, there was this one: the original mashup of Labrador heart and Poodle brains, dreamed up in Australia because someone had the audacious idea that maybe you could have a guide dog that didn't leave tumbleweeds of fur across the kitchen floor.

The Labradoodle experience
You know you're a Labradoodle owner when...
●The doodle coat lottery, some days they look like a freshly groomed teddy bear, other days like a muppet who lost a fight with a humidity front, and you love every version equally.
●That full-body wiggle when you walk through the door, tail going like a helicopter blade, entire back half swaying because a simple tail wag could never contain this much happiness.
●Explaining 'what kind of dog is that?' for the nine hundredth time, because every Labradoodle looks different and people are always guessing, poodle? Goldendoodle? Giant stuffed animal that escaped?. xplaining 'what kind of dog is that?' for the nine hundredth time, because every Labradoodle looks different and people are always guessing, poodle? Goldendoodle?

●The Poodle brain working behind those sweet Labrador eyes, you can practically hear the gears turning right before they figure out the childproof latch, the zipper on your bag, or exactly which cabinet has the peanut butter.
●Grooming appointments that cost more than your own haircut, and the two glorious days afterward when they look like a magazine dog before the mud puddle reclaims them.
