History: The Labradoodle is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. It was one of the first designer dog breeds to exist. In fact, some argue that the Labradoodle started the designer dog trend. The term "Labradoodle" surfaced in 1955, although the breed itself was still relatively unknown. There's some controversy over how the Labradoodle came about, but most agree that the breed was developed in the United States during the 1950s. Despite being one of the earliest designer breeds, the Labradoodle is not a purebred dog, and it therefore not able to be registered by any major kennel clubs. However, the Labradoodle has gained recognition from some smaller clubs, like the American Canine Association (ACA), the Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC), and more.

Temperament: Labradoodles are energetic and playful dogs that are both family and dog-friendly. They're easygoing, intelligent, and love to please, so training a Labradoodle is on the easier side. While friendly and social with just about anyone, Labradoodles are extremely devoted to their owners, and will still crave their attention and praise over anyone else's. The Labradoodle is an active dog with boundless energy, so it is not an ideal choice for apartment dwellers. These dogs do best in active households where they are given plenty of exercise and room to run around. When properly trained and socialized, the Labradoodle makes the ideal family companion.
