When we began searching for the perfect family companion, we wanted more than a beautiful dog — we wanted intelligence, gentleness, and a temperament that fit perfectly into our family lifestyle. That journey led us to the Australian Labradoodle.
What makes this breed truly special is its purpose. Originally developed in Australia, the Australian Labradoodle was carefully bred to be the ideal therapy and companion dog — affectionate, intuitive, and wonderfully people-focused. Their goal has always been companionship, and they excel at it.
After learning about their kind nature, allergy-friendly coats, and playful personalities, we knew this was the breed that matched our vision — one that would bring joy, connection, and calm to any household. For families, couples, or individuals seeking a loyal and intelligent friend, the Australian Labradoodle is simply unmatched.
Not all Labradoodles are the same. The true Australian Labradoodle stands apart through its heritage and intentional breeding. While the original Labradoodle began as a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, Australian breeders took this pairing further — focusing on consistency in temperament, structure, and coat quality.
In the late 1980s, two renowned Australian breeding programs — Tegan Park and Rutland Manor — refined the breed by thoughtfully incorporating additional breeds such as the Irish Water Spaniel and both American and English Cocker Spaniels. These careful infusions enhanced the dogs’ coats, size range, and emotional intelligence.
The result? A multigenerational breed with reliable traits — low to non-shedding coats, allergy-friendly qualities, balanced temperaments, and remarkable intelligence. Unlike first-generation doodle crosses, the Australian Labradoodle carries a lineage purposefully developed for health, companionship, and consistency across generations.
