"The Original Labradoodle"
What is an "original" Australian Labradoodle?
The Australian Labradoodle is different from all other labradoodles. In the early days, the Australian Labradoodle was simply a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle. In the late 1980's, Tegan Park and Rutland Manor, the two founders of the Australian Labradoodle as we know it today, began carefully infusing several other breeds into early generations of their Lab/Poodle crosses and some Cocker Spaniel. This improved the temperament, coat, conformation, and size. The resulting labradoodles subsequently have been bred to each other, continuing the multi-generational tradition. Even when the other types of Labradoodles are bred on for generations, the result is not an Australian Labradoodle, as the attributes of the infused breeds were not included in their ancestry.
Today, Australian Labradoodles are wonderful, intelligent dogs with lush coats that are low to non-shedding and allergy friendly than other types of Labradoodles such as first generation Lab/Poodle crosses, or first generation crosses bred back to Poodles. SoCal Premier (SoCalPALs) prides itself if creating the very best, healthiest, and friendliest dogs possible.
