ABOUT
CUPID
The Labradoodle was first deliberately bred in
1989, when Australian breeder Wally Conron first
crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle
for Guide Dogs Victoria. His aim was to combine
the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness
and trainability of the Labrador, to provide a
Guide Dog suitable for people with allergies to
fur and dander. Guide Dogs Victoria continue to
breed Labradoodles today and Labradoodles are
now often used around the world as Guide, Assistance,
and Therapy Dogs as well as being popular family
dogs. Like most Labrador Retrievers and Poodles,
Labradoodles are generally friendly, energetic
and good with families and children (although
as with any dog the temperament may vary between
individuals). Labradoodles also often display
an affinity for water and the strong swimming
ability present in both their parent breeds.
Like their parent breeds, both of which are amongst
the world's most intelligent dog breeds, Labradoodles
are very intelligent and quite trainable. Labradoodles
can be taught to obey verbal or sign language
commands, or both, and remain commonly used as
guide dogs for disabled or handicapped persons
around the world.
All Dominator Lab Dogs are bred and monitored
personally by Chris. All puppies' parent's hips
are always x-rayed (OFA), eyes are CERFed and
all Labrador Retrievers come with AKC Registration
Papers.
