A Labradoodle is a crossbred dog created by crossing the Labrador Retriever and the Standard or Miniature Poodle.The first known use of the term “Labradoodle” was by Sir Donald Campbell to describe his Labrador Poodle cross dog in his 1955 book, “Into the Water Barrier”. However, the Labradoodle became better known in 1988, when Australian breeder Wally Conron crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle at Guide Dogs Victoria.
