The Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, and it first became famous in Australia. In 1989, Wally Conron of the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia bred Labradoodles to find a guide dog for a blind woman whose husband was allergic to dogs. The idea caught on around the world, and breeders in Australia later worked to create the more consistent Australian Labradoodle. Labradoodles often have a wavy or curly coat that may shed less, though no dog is truly allergy-free. They’re known for being friendly, clever and eager to please, like both of their parent breeds.
Here are more than 100 Labradoodle names, sorted by theme, from boy and girl favorites to Australian names, curly and fluffy names, sweet treat names and helper names.
