temperament can be just as wonderful as an Australian Labradoodle.

All Labradoodles are NOTnon-shedding or Hypo-Allergenic. It is very important that you do your homework and know what it is you
are looking for and what youare getting. Ask about the parents testing, their pedigree, their tempements. As a breeder, it takes a
great deal of time, patience and money to raise healthy, happy Labradoodles with wonderful temperaments which is then passed
down to the puppies that will go on to be your much loved family pet.

BREED STANDARDS:

Temperament and Soundness are the two KEY elements in a good family companion; they must not be sacrificed for any reason.
1.Temperament:
The Australian Labradoodle is extremely clever, intuitive, athletic, easy to train, faithful, snuggle-pups, curious, easy to read, and
they
“read” you easy, energetic, soft, family dogs and Wonderful Service dogs. They show an intuition about their owner’s emotional
state
or needs. Their ability to “know” is what has made the Australian Labradoodle an outstanding dog for anyone with special needs.
2.General Appearance:
The Australian Labradoodle will have an athletic and graceful, yet, compact body. They should not appear heavy or overly fine. A
distinctive feature of this breed is their coat, which is non-shedding and easy to manage.
3.Movement:
Trotting gait is effortless, smooth, powerful and coordinated in mature dogs. Sound free movement and a light gait are vital. The
sizes
are measured to the withers (top of the shoulder blades). Soundness is very important.

LABRADOODLE SIZES:
1.Miniature: 14"TO 16": The "Ideal" size for a miniature is 14 to 16 inches with no correlation between height and sex of the
miniature
Australian Labradoodle. Weight range tends to be 15 to 25 pounds.
2.Medium 17" TO 20": The "Ideal" size for a medium female is 17 to 19 inches and for a male 19 to 20 inches. Weight range tends
to
be 30 to 45 pounds.
3.Standard: 21" TO 24": The "Ideal" size for a standard female is 21 to 23 inches and for a male 22 to 24 inches. Weight range
tends
to be 50 to 65 pounds.

LABRADOODLE COAT AND COLORS:

The coat in the Australian Labradoodles is one of the things that make them so special. The low to non-shedding is a big plus and
adds to the allergy-free factor. The following are the three kinds of coats you will find all Labradoodles have:


Coat types are also still very sporadic with many dogs showing a combination of multiple types. Both the Fleece and the Wool coat
should naturally grow in "staples" and be of a soft texture. Both the "Ideal" Fleece and Wool coats spin successfully. As the genetic
values stabilize, we hope the "Ideal" coats are as follows:
1.FLEECE: This is the coat that most people look for when looking for their own Australian Labradoodle. The texture is silky & light,
much like an angora wool sweater. It comes in many styles, straight open fleece, wavy fleece, to spiral fleece. This coat is easy to
maintain, but must be brushed in order to remain mat-free. There should be no body odor with this coat and very little to NO
shedding. It is not uncommon to find the occasional “dust bunny” of hair, this coat is often acceptable for those with allergies.
2.WOOL: These coats are denser to the feel more like a sheep's wool. It feels very soft like cashmere, and you may read it is
referred
to as “new wool.” The "Ideal" wool coat should hang in loose hollow spirals. The sprung wool coat is not preferred.  to keep the wool
coat long and flowing will require more maintenance. If this coat is kept short, it is very easy to maintain, but also requires regular
grooming to avoids matting. There is no body odor with this coat. This is the Best coat type for families with severe allergies &
asthma.
3.HAIR: Hair textures shed and are unwanted. This coat is often found in the early generation Labradoodles, (F1 & occasionally
F1bs.) A hair coat is very far & few between in the Australian Labradoodle. There will be some shedding with this coat, although it
could be minor shedding. This is not a coat for anyone with allergies or asthma.
