When the Labradoodle was created, it was bred to be a service dog. A lady living in Hawaii, who was sight impaired, wanted a guide dog. This would give her some independence. The 
problem was…her husband had dog allergies. After some inquiries, a dog was created in Australia to help her out. It was a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. Why these two breeds? Both are known for their intelligence and their genuine companionship qualities. The goal was a sound service dog, with an allergy friendly coat. And with that, the Labradoodle beginnings happened!
Today, many people are also looking for a dog that can do service, and be allergy friendly for either themselves, or those around them. The Australian Labradoodle is often called upon to fill that role!
Luna, from Nessie & Lil Nick’s 9/2/2016 litter
We recently heard from Luna, one of our doodles who is almost 2. Luna was acquired by her mom, Lauren. Lauren is a teacher. She wanted a dog that could go into the classroom to help students. She also wanted a dog that could be trained to be a service dog for her.
This is what Lauren had to say, ” She is simply the best! She has changed my life in ways I never imagined. I am also a teacher and she goes to school with me. The kids ADORE her and she is so good with them. I work with kids with behavior issues and just her being there is amazing. She has such a sweet demeanor and personality. She also has the most beautiful human eyes.”
Currently Luna is in training to be a service dog as well. We are so proud of both Luna and Lauren. It takes a team to accomplish what they have done… and what they will do in the future.
These doods are amazing!
