This happy pooch can be described as loyal, non-aggressive, joyful, social, curious, and clever. You can also expect that your pooch will be amusing and active. When properly socialized and trained, these pooches are friendly and they get along well with children and other pets, including other canines. They're not afraid to show affection and they will form a tight bond with their family. They even make great therapy dogs and guide dogs.

The Australian Labradoodle will do okay in an apartment if they get enough exercise. They are moderately active indoors and will do best with at least an average-sized yard.

The first litter of Australian Labradoodle puppies was bred in Australia in 1989 by a man named Wally Conron, who was the breeding manager for the Guide Dog Services in Australia. A vision-impaired​ woman with a husband who was allergic to dogs had contacted Wally to see if he could fulfil her request for a service dog. After numerous breeding's between Poodles and Labrador Retrievers, Wally produced a puppy with an allergy-friendly coat. This litter was the official beginning of the Labradoodle breed. The general public became interested in these smart and easy to train dogs and their non-shedding, allergy-friendly coats have played a huge part in their current success and popularity. The Australian Labradoodle breed was further developed with the infusion of other breeds into the line such as the American and English Cocker Spaniel to add other desirable traits. While originally developed in Australia, responsible American breeders are dedicated to the continued development of this wonderful and unique breed.
