This page is meant to serve as a general guide to the most common Australian Labradoodle coat colors and patterns. Please note that there are many colors, patterns, and variations that exist. Additionally, it is not uncommon to see some white spots or white hairs emerge throughout the coat, which capture light nicely and create flashy unique patterns and shade variances.

How Big is an Australian Labradoodle?

There is a range in weight for each height, depending on the build of each dog. Some are lighter on their feet and others are a little more solid. There are no definite outcomes on how each dog will develop of course, but most of our litters will be full-grown between 25-40 lbs. Height will most likely vary between mini and medium as most of our parent dogs are between the large end of the mini range to an average medium size.

Size depends on the combination of the genes that each dog inherits. Just like children born to the same parents, the weight and height of puppies born to the same parents can differ quite a bit.

The good news is that they are all AMAZING dogs, because Australian Labradoodle breeding has been very responsibly handled over multiple generations. There may be some degree of inability to predict the size with great accuracy but you won’t be disappointed regardless!

If you are thinking about using the dog as a service animal whose service requires a specific height, we would encourage you to inquire further so that we can try to narrow down the expected height and weight for the specific litter you are considering.

What is an Australian Labradoodle?

The Australian Labradoodle, often certified for service and therapy work, is not to be confused with the Aussie-Doodle, Labradoodle, or any other more recently bred and named combination. Named in the country of Australia, where it originated over 30 years ago, the breed was originally developed in pursuit of an allergy-friendly service dog.

Through the careful infusion of not two, but six breeds, each offering specific highly valued inherited traits, the original dream-dogs were born. This resulted in the inheritance of highly coveted traits that were demonstrated in other breeds but rarely found together in one dog.

After multiple generations of breeding, today’s responsibly bred Australian Labradoodle has

A soft, non-oily low or non-shedding coat
A reliable flexible temperament
A genetically inherited high probability for a long and happy life
A loyal and affectionate personality
Intelligence that is easy to train
A genuinely happy, easy-going vibe
Effortless, smooth motion and coordination
Great looks that turn heads wherever they go!

While most doodle mixes have been bred for a comparatively short period of time, this long list of desirable traits has been responsibly maintained for multiple generations in the Australian Labradoodle.

This is not your standard doodle-mix, this is the esteemed Multi-Generational Australian Labradoodle. This is a breed that reliably allows owners to expect and trust that their loyal family member will be admired by all.
