The Labradoodle was created by crossing the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle, with the aim to breed a service dog that would not shed and so produce a hypoallergenic dog that is suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander. The breed is still in an embryonic stage, with litters producing pups with many varied characteristics, height, body mass, fur consistency and length etc

Labradoodles are sociable, friendly, non aggressive, and extremely intuitive. They are intelligent and highly trainable making them well suited for guide dogs, therapy dogs, and other assistance dogs. Their non allergic coats make them popular among people who have not been able to enjoy pets because of their allergies.
