Brief History of Labradoodles
In 1989, Wally Cochran bred the first Australian Labradoodle in his quest for a hypoallergenic guide dog. Building upon his success, Rutland Manor and Tegan Park continued his work striving to perfect the breed by carefully infusing several other breeds to the Labradoodle creating what is today known as the Australian Labradoodle.
