F1 Australian Labradoodle ~ Meet KC & Solly-Wally Doodle. A true Labradoodle is non-shedding and calm.
KC and Solomon Wally Doodle are pure bred "Labradoodle" dogs imported from Australia. KC spent some time at UCLA in California working with heart patients...

The first known use of the term "Labradoodle" was by Sir Donald Campbell to describe his Labrador Retriever/Poodle cross dog in his 1955 book, "Into the Water Barrier". However, the Labradoodle was first bred deliberately in 1988, when Australian breeder Wally Conron crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle at Guide Dogs Victoria.
Conron's aim was to combine the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness and trainability of the Labrador, and to provide a guide dog suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander. He'd received a request from a vision impaired woman in Hawaii for a guide dog that did not aggravate her husband's allergy to dog hair. Originally he planned to train a Standard Poodle, but hair and saliva samples of thirty-three different poodles sent to the woman's husband all caused an allergic reaction. A Labradoodle litter was bred, and the husband did not have an allergic reaction to one of the puppies from the litter. This puppy, Sultan, was successfully trained by Guide Dogs Victoria, and became the first Labradoodle Guide dog.
Although Guide Dogs Victoria no longer breed Labradoodles, they are bred by other guide and assistance dog organizations in Australia and elsewhere. Labradoodles are now widely used around the world as guide, assistance, and therapy dogs as well as being popular family dogs

  • mutts.not worth the damage they're causing with all this designer breed BS.

  • Could you all be any more gullible? There is no such breed as an Australian labradoodle! As a member of the Australian National Kennel Council ( Australia's governing dog body) I can categorically state that this breed, nor any other Poodle cross breed is recognised in Australia. They are a cross breed, a mongrel. They cannot be registered in Australia under the ANKC. Do your research before looking at purchasing.

  • Lovely dogs! The filming is so clear can you tell me what make of camera you shot this footage with please? Greetings from the UK

  • so its not good to get an F1 labradoodle? Like a pure bred labrador and a pure bred poodle mix isnt good?

  • those two dogs are mutts nothing more then that. i does not exict in the FCI and therefor it is a mutt and will always be untill FCI makes it a breed.

  • @snomonkey33 All dogs shed, all dogs loose their hair. Dogs who are labelled as 'non-shedding' don't loose their hair in clumps. They often loose their hair one at a time, and people don't notice it. also, they don't loose their hair as much as most non-shedding dogs dont spot growing their hair, so the cycle never ends, so to say. The point I was making is that mixing two dogs together cannot say that they will all, without doubt, be non shedding.

  • @snomonkey33 You may well be very correct. But anyone can throw a few letters together and call themselves a breed society or breed club, that does not make it so. Instead of wasting my money on a crossbred that every second person on the street has had and many of which end up at the pound, I chose to put my money behind saving one of the most vunerable breeds of dog in the world. As for the nonsense that crossbreds are healthier; mere propaganda. Any dog from a great breeder will be healthy.

  • @snomonkey33 Yeah i get that, our guy is go go go as soon as we get in the house until we go too bed, I think his off switch is broken.

    One thing i will say about Labradoodles is they LOVE kids, we do not have kids ourselves but have plenty of nieces and nephews that come over ranging from 2 to 12 and he loves then to death, the kids will go and play with the Play station in our spare room and Cody will grab his toy sit down next too them and chew on it not leaving them.

  • @Shadow66ist definitely a retarded haircut on those

  • @glenncol my 8th gen is very calm

  • @14Raine14 my dog doesn't shed... only comes out when I brush her, hit a matt and have to tear it out. Have never removed any fur from her crate, dog bed, my bed, the couch etc

  • @dokirb There is no such thing as an F1 australian labradoodle. LAA, IALA, DRA do recognize australian labradoodles as a breed.
