In the Australian Labradoodle breed the temperament is extremely important. These dogs are highly trainable and excel as companion dogs for people with disabilities. They are energetic and yet extremely gentle. They are friendly and non-aggressive, sociable, and always, always happy! The dogs are clever, comical, and loyal......... everything that makes a great family pet and loving companion.

The Australian Labradoodle is an athletic and very agile dog. They are a compact, medium boned dog with substance. They are energetic at play and gentle while being handled. Their movement has a good reach and drive, giving the appearance they are going somewhere. They seem to skim the ground when they run. Many Australian Labradoodles are excelling in agility trials.

There are three sizes in the Australian Labradoodle breed:

Standard:  21 inches to 24 inches        Weight ranges from 50 to 65 pounds

Medium:    17 inches to 20 inches        Weight ranges from 30 to 40 pounds

Miniature:  14 inches to 16 inches        Weight ranges from 16 to 25 pounds

Sizes are still somewhat inconsistent with no definition between male and female. Accurate prediction of size, even by an experienced breeder, is not expected at this time. Size is measured to the top of the shoulder blades (withers) while standing squarely on a level surface.

The Australian Labradoodle comes in a variety of coat colors:
