About Labradoodles
Introducing the delightful Australian Labradoodle! This affectionate and clever hybrid was created in Australia in the late 1980s by crossing Labradors and Poodles—with later inclusion of Cocker Spaniel—to craft a low-shedding, family-friendly service dog.
Labradoodles are full of playful energy and strong bonds with their families, thriving in homes with both affection and activity. Their coats—fleece, wool, or hair—vary widely in texture and colour, and are typically low-shedding but require regular grooming to prevent tangles.
These dogs excel in roles like therapy, service, agility, and obedience thanks to their intelligence and eagerness to please. With a moderate to high energy level, Labradoodles need daily walks, play, and mental stimulation to stay content and well-behaved. If you’re after a loyal, adaptable, and cuddle-loving companion with a hypoallergenic coat, the Australian Labradoodle could be the perfect pet for you!
🐶 FUN FACT! No two Labradoodles have the same coat—some are curly, others wavy, and a few even rock a shaggy surfer look.

Things you should know about Labradoodles
Dog Insurance
- The average lifespan of a Labradoodle is 12 to 15 years, which gives you plenty of time to form a strong bond with your pup!
- Available in miniature, medium, and standard sizes due to their Poodle lineage, Labradoodles may face different health risks based on their size—insurance helps provide tailored protection regardless of their build.
- Their low-shedding curly or wavy coats require consistent grooming, which, while not covered by insurance, helps prevent skin issues like hot spots or infections that may require veterinary care.
- In 2023-2024, the average benefits paid by Knose for Labradoodles were $266.
Pet Ownership
- Known for their “hypoallergenic” coat, they are originally bred as guide dogs for people with allergies.
- Despite their large size, Labradoodles tend to get along well with other dogs and cats due to their loving nature.
- Labradoodles are good alert dogs, but they may not be great for small spaces and apartments as they tend to bark a lot.
- An ideal home for a Labradoodle is one with plenty of open space to run and play and experienced dog owners with the time and energy to train, exercise, and socialize their pup.

10/10 personalised service!
In January, we brought a puppy (Bella) into our lives – she is beautiful! Recently she had a few gastro issues and subsequent vet visits. Knose Pet Insurance has been awesome. They acknowledged the claims immediately, and then followed up with personal emails advising us of the progress of our claims. We even received a message asking after Bella and a follow up to say how pleased they were that Bella is now doing well. Top class personalized service and a thorough explanation of the claim refunds. 10/10 guys!
