A Labradoodle is a crossbreed dog created by mixing a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. This breed was originally developed in Australia in the late 1980s as a hypoallergenic service dog. Labradoodles come in various sizes, depending on whether the Poodle parent is standard, miniature, or toy. Labradoodles are known for their friendly and intelligent nature, making them great family pets. They typically have a wavy or curly coat that requires regular grooming. Their sociable temperament allows them to get along well with children and other animals, making them a popular choice for many households.
