About Labradoodles

As most of us know, one of the main purposes of crossbreeding animals is to develop “hybrids” that have the best features of two species. This allows us to combine the size and stature of one breed with the temperament and personality traits of another. One of these crossbreeds that has been steadily gaining popularity in North America is the labradoodle.

The first labradoodle breeder was Wally Conrad in Australia. He first got the idea to breed a Labrador Retriever with a Poodle when he was called upon to produce a guide dog that wouldn’t aggravate a person’s allergies. From these modest beginnings, the labradoodle has grown to be a major breed for practical and personal purposes.

When my niece turned four years old last summer, I knew that I wanted to get her something special for her birthday. She is an avid lover of animals, but both of her parents have severe allergies. I was aware that she had always wanted a puppy, but I didn’t want to get her one that would upset mom and dad.

After spending hours doing research, I found a great site that had labradoodles for sale. These adorable little dogs are friendly and sociable, but don’t shed. They still have a good amount of fur, so they are cuddly enough for my niece. It is also great that they are miniature, so you never have to worry about them outgrowing the house or yard.
