Miniature Labradoodle Breed Description

Introduction

In 1989 Wally Conron of Kew, Australia, began crossing Labrador Retrievers and Poodles to create the Labradoodle because he wanted to have guide dogs suitable for blind people allergic to dog hair. Labradoodles are sociable, extremely clever and quick to learn unusual or special tricks. These dogs are good with children and easy to train. They need lots of exercise and activity in their life. Their curly coat needs regular grooming at least twice a week. Miniature sizes weigh 15 to 45 lbs. and stand 14-20" at the shoulders. They come in three different coat types: hair, fleece, and wool. All coat types need regular grooming, but wool and fleece coats need more maintenance than the hair coat. Females are slightly smaller.
