The term "labradoodle" is a contraction of two breeds used to create them: the Labrador Retriever and the Standard Poodle. The term was coined by Wally Conron in 1989 when he first intentionally crossed the two breeds in an attempt to produce a dog with reduced allergens that could be trained to guide the blind. Conron was a breeder for the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia at the time. The Association continued its experimentation with the cross but eventually abandoned the project because only 35% were successful in going on to become guide dogs and few of those were actually low allergin producers. The last dog in this program was bred in 1996.
However, by the time the Association got out of the labradoodle business the idea had caught on. There are now two distinctive types of labradoodle: First generaltion crosses of poodles and labradors, and the Australian Labradoodle which is starting to breed true (breeding two sixth-generation labradoodles together to produce another labradoodle). The foundation dogs of the Australian Labradoodle are the Labrador Retriever, the Standard Poodle, and the Cocker Spaniel. The Australian Labradoodle is pedigreed and registered with the Australian Labradoodle Association (ALA).
First generation crosses are still considered mixed-breed dogs, despite the designer name because they cannot breed true. In other words, when you breed a first generation labradoodle to another first generation labradoodle, there's no predicting what will result. Will it get more labrador genes or more poodle genes, and which ones?
Sixth generation dogs (and above) are breeding true to produce true pure-bred Labradoodle dogs. When a registered labradoodle is bred to another registered labradoodle the resulting progeny no longer show dominant characteristics of one or the other of the foundation breeds.

Labradoodles are a mix between a Labrador and a Poodle. Mixed breed. They were bred in Australia for blind people as the Labrador is an excellent guide dog and the poodle seldom moults, so blind people very rarely get dog hairs in their mouths now.
Labradoodles are great pets. They are intelligent, and willing and easy to train. They need quite a bit of exercise, but they love any form, especially swimming and chasing balls. They have a lot of enthusiasm and need quite a bit of human company, but not over the top. They are very easy to toilet train. Labradoodles come in three different sizes, and many different colours. They are great with children, though sometimes can be a bit rough. All in all, they make great pets, but are a big part of the family.

A Double Doodle dog, also known as the North American Retriever, is an advanced-generation mixed 'designer breed' dog that results from the intentional breeding of a Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever + Poodle) with a Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever + Poodle). This combination breed is one of those preferred and selected for service dog duty and is known for combining good temperament with drive suitable for service dog use, as well as being an excellent family pet for reasons of good temperament and a tendency towards low-shedding and hypoallergenic qualities.
