The Labradoodle is a cross between the Standard Poodle and Labrador Retriever. Wally Cochran first started this cross-breed in Australia in the 1970's. He was prompted to do this by a blind woman who suffered from allergies to dogs. In the 1980's, two research facilities (Tegan Park and Rutland Manor) were developed in Australia to further develop successful Labradoodles. Today, both are successfully exporting Labradoodles all over the world to asthma and allergy suffers.
