Australian Labradoodles and Cockapoos - both great combinations!

I am going to post several pics of some puppies from my past litters. Can you tell which ones had a Cockapoo parent and which ones were from two Australian Labradoodles?

Sometimes it is quite difficult! Each pic (assorted ages) was labeled with the parent combo. Some of these pup pics are current breeders for ADNE and some are pets.

Although not always mentioned, the Spaniel breed and Cockapoo (or Spoodle, as it is known in Australia), has been used in most breeding stock in the AUSTRALIAN Labradoodle hybrid for many, many years. It was a great choice to bring down the size, introduce the rich chocolate color in a non-shedding dog type and added soft silkiness to the coats. More importantly, using the Cockapoo greatly reduced inbreeding co-efficencies- an important ingredient for genetic diversity.

As with all breeding stock, you must choose with care. Proven stable temperaments, quality test score results and AKC certifications are a must!  Most importantly, any combination of Australian Labradoodle bred to a Cockapoo is an Australian Labradoodle as defined by the ALAA Registry.
