QUESTIONS
ANSWERS
What is a Multigenerational Australian Labradoodle?
A multigenerational Australian Labradoodle is a puppy who has a verified multigenerational pedigree. Meaning their parents come from Australian Labradoodles lineage and are registered with one of the 3 ALD clubs in America. These puppies are products of generations of careful breeding, time, and, investment.
Multigenerational Australian Labradoodles are low to no-shedding and allergy-friendly.
Hint: Australian Labradoodles are not Aussiedoodles. Aussiedoodles are the breeding of an Australian Shepard and a Poodle.
What is the difference between a labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle (aka ALD) ?
An American Labradoodles and Australian Labradoodles may look bit similar, but that's where it stops. A registered ALD has been bred to have a more consistent conformation, coat texture, very close to a non- shedding coat, and the fantastic personality that goes with an ALD.
The parents of an ALD litter also will have had extensive DNA and health testing prior to breeding. This is done to rule out, as much as possible, health issues know in the breed.
Australian Labradoodles are as close to hypoallergenic as a dog can get. Cautionary note:
1. Be sure your breeder is registered with a recognized Australian Labradoodle club.
2. Be sure the breeder registers their litters with a recognized club.
3. Do you own research.
Remember - Litters cannot be registered if both parents have not had health checks and verifiable pedigrees. That's the only way you will know that your breeder is breeding true ALDs and doing it ethically.
What are the most common Labradoodle colors and do they change colors?
There are numerous colors and combination of colors. The most common colors are: Black, red, cream and chocolate. Parti colors are becoming more common and popular. Check out the WALA site for more information on colors.
ALDs frequently change color or 'fade' as they reach adulthood. Typically, ALD puppies will start fading during their first year of life, and are usually done between 18 months and 3 yrs of age.
Fading is due to the fading gene, which there is currently no DNA marker for. This gene is inherited from the Poodle’s side of their lineage, and is usually more prevalent in black, brown, and chocolate colors.
Black ALD may fade into silver, blue, or gray tones while the chocolate ALDs tend to become a feathered tan, cream, or silver as they age.
This is why breeders do not guarantee colors.
Why are Labradoodles registered?
There are 3 established ALD (Australian Labradoodle) clubs in the USA. We are members of the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association, aka WALA. WALA and the other recognized clubs verify pedigrees of every ALD seeking registration. They do this to verify that the dog being registered is an authentic ALD.
To be a member of WALA, breeders agree to register their litters, attend on-going training, and follow the Rules and Regulation of WALA.
This is your guarantee that your puppy is a true ALD and that your breeder has agreed to follow ethical standards as set by their club. Again, make sure your new puppy is registered!

All of our ALDs are registered with The Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association, aka WALA. We also have some of our dogs registered with AKC as Canine Companions. ​
