Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). We are getting to know Harley as he transitions to being a fostered dog with indoor privileges instead of the backyard dog. He was relegated to the fenced yard at his previous home due to his his lack of training and roughness with the children of the family over food. (We understand some dogs have not learned to share appropriately with humans, and it was probably much better that he was brought to the shelter where we can assess him and help him as he learns good social skills.) He is currently in a foster home with other dogs and an experienced foster mom. We look forward to helping Harley learn to handle life!

Breed overview
Overview:
The Labradoodle is a mix between the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. Both breeds are excellent for children and families. The Labradoodle became known in 1988, when Australian breeder Wally Conron crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle at the Royal Guide Dogs Associations of Australia in Victoria. Conron's aim was to combine the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness and trainability of the Labrador, and to provide a guide dog suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander. Sultan, a dog from this litter, displayed all the qualities Conron was seeking and worked as a guide dog for a woman in Hawaii for ten years. Although Guide Dogs Victoria no longer breed Labradoodles, they are bred by other guide and assistance dog organizations in Australia and other places. The Association for the Blind of Western Australia has introduced Labradoodles into their training program, and their first, Jonnie, graduated in November 2010. Labradoodles are now widely used around the world as guide, assistance, and therapy dogs as well as being popular family dogs. The Norwegian Royal Crown Prince and Princess own a Labradoodle.
