AUSTRALIAN LABRADOODLE
Australian Labradoodles were originally bred to be service and therapy dogs for asthma and allergy sufferers in Australia in the late 1990s. Their outstanding temperaments and non-shedding coats make them a popular choice with families around the world. They are bred in three different sizes: miniature, medium and standard, and have a wide range of coat colours. They are known for being intelligent, trainable, happy-go-lucky, comical, gentle and excellent with children. The Australian Labradoodle has 6 parent breeds in its genetic make up: Labrador, Poodle, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, Curly Coat Retriever and Irish Water Spaniel.
BERNEDOODLE
Bernedoodles were first bred in Canada to be excellent companion dogs in the early 2000s. They are popular family companions in North America and relatively new to European shores. They result from crossing Bernese Mountain Dogs with Poodles. They are bred in a variety of solid and multi-combination colours, but are particularly known for the beautiful and much sought after black tricolour of the Bernese Mountain Dog. Bernedoodles are bred in three sizes: miniature, medium and standard. They are known for being smart, trainable, funny and affectionate. Sometimes, the Australian Labradoodle is used or infused instead of the Poodle and the resulting offspring are known as Australian Bernedoodles.
