Study of Australian labradoodle DNA suggests more poodles have been introduced over years
It’s what some owners may already have suspected of their bouncing, curly-coated pets, but now research has confirmed it: Australian labradoodles are light on the lab and heavy on the poodle.
The distinctive name was coined by Australian Wally Conron in 1989, who bred a labrador with a poodle to create a guide dog suitable for people with allergies or asthma.
