Weight: Male: 55-75 lb., Female: 45-60 lb.

Temperment: The Labradoodle has gained popularity for good reason; they have all of the best traits of the original breeds all lumped into one – and their very cute. Labradoodles are excellent with children, well mannered, loyal and active. Labradoodles are also extremely intelligent and happy dogs.
Origins: The Labrador Poodle cross began in the 1970s by Wally Cochran who needed a service dog for a blind woman. The woman also had sever allergies to dogs. Wally, understanding the low allergens of Poodles decided to attempt a cross between the common Guide Dog for the blind, the Labrador Retriever, and the virtually allergen-free Poodle. The cross was a success and the Labradoodle was born.




Introduction
The Labradoodle, now recognized by the ACHC, CKC and LAA, is a mixed breed or hybrid dog that has been gaining popularity since it was created in the late 1970�s. The Labradoodle is commonly mixed between the Poodle and Labrador Retriever while the Australian Labradoodle can consist of 6 different breeds, the Standard Poodle, Miniature Poodle, Toy Poodle, Labrador Retriever, American Cocker Spaniel, English Cocker Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, Curly Coat Retriever and the Curly Coat Retriever. In 1997, the Australian Labradoodle received its own breed standard.

About the Labradoodle
Labradoodles tend to have the stronger legs of the Labrador Retriever but the coat of the Poodle. The coat is typically non-shedding is produces much less allergy symptoms that are common from dog allergens. Labradoodle colors vary from Black, Chocolate, Silver, Cream and White. Three sizes, Standard (the full size), Medium and Miniature are found to be bred. Labradoodles are more commonly known to have a broad head with large eyes that are set apart, a large square nose, and ears set above eye level.

Labradoodles need frequent exercise on a daily basis. With high energy levels, they will be quite active and need room to play. Known to live up to 15 years of age, the Labradoodle is a dog that most will enjoy as their companion for many years.

If the male dog was a toy poodle and the mom was a lab, or a lab/poodle mix.. its possible to get a beagle sized one. But since these are mixed breed dogs, there's no guarantees on size.

They are not good for people with allergies. Most of them still shed. They ussually get a coat that is something between a poodle and a golden's coat.. a long curly, shedding coat.

Standard Poodles are very intelligent dogs. I have had the pleasure of raising one about 12 years ago to be a guide dog. Standards are ranked as the second smartest breed.. second only to border collies! I really dont think that a poorly bred mutt is going to be smarter than a well-bred Standard Poodle!

The poodle I raised was eager to please, and very quick to learn. He knew hand signals, as well as verbal commands in both English and French! (I was in high school and taking French classes) He also knew some of the commands if I spelled them out.

Answer 3

They are mutts...please do not support someone who sells mixed breed dogs so they can pay their rent. It's possible for that particular mix to come fairly small, or somewhat big...depends on the genes. Any mix with a lab or with a poodle is bound to be a fairly smart dog....so they will need lots of training. The whole allergy thing is a scam to get people to buy them.

I'll bet if you visit your local shelter or search through petfinder.com, you will find a dog that fits your criteria....and you are likely to even find a lab/poodle mix in there! Good luck!

Answer 4

they are mutts plain and simple. and because they have lab in them does not mean it is going to be good for someone with bad allergies...no matter what the breeder tells you or what generation the pup is from it still has lab blood in it and a lab like coat can still come out.
Poodles are pretty smart to begin with.

please don't support these idoits that sell pups for money and don't care about the over population problem we have. if u want a mutt save a life...petfinder.com or your nearest shelter!

or look for a good breeder of min poodles... not from a petshop! or online.

Answer 5

"Labradoodles" and "goldendoodles" are literally not breeds, they are mixes of two separate, different breeds. Why do you want one? probability is, there's a authentic breed obtainable that matches your way of existence. notwithstanding, in case you don't want a purebred, you should undertake a mutt from a guard or a rescue. there's no good reason to help outdoor breeders, and that is the purely form of "doodle" breeder that you'll locate.

Answer 6

My sister just sold one that was 4 months old and was only 10 pounds figure she would mature to be about 30-35 pounds.

Answer 7

They are a mutt, they have no predictable traits. I can tell you every one I've ever seen:
-sheds
-mats up and needs to be shaved down constantly
-drools excessively
-is extremely dumb, hyper, and untrainable
-chews/mouths everything and everyone
-has been 65lbs or larger

Answer 8

It's a mutt and you cannot possibly know how they will turn out.

Answer 9

I agree with Rose, they are mutts so you never know!

Answer 10

There's no such breed, so there's no answers to your questions.
