Breed Information

Overview

The Mini Labradoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Miniature Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed. This designer breed is recognized by ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club).

The Miniature Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Miniature Poodle. Second-generation crosses could include a Labradoodle and a Mini Poodle or two Mini Labradoodles as parents.

This hybrid dog breed was originally developed to create smaller potential service dogs that might be a good fit for people with allergies to dog fur. With a mixed breed, you can end up with any combination of traits from the parent breeds. Often, Mini Labradoodles are smart, friendly, and sociable dogs that are highly trainable.

They are often found working as service dogs and therapy dogs and living as beloved family companions. Although they are not recognized by the AKC, the Mini Labradoodle is recognized by other canine registries. The American Canine Hybrid Club recognizes the Miniature Labradoodle.

Temperament

A Mini Labradoodle is a combination of two friendly dog breeds that crave human affection and are always happy to have company. With some of the most affectionate dog breeds as parents, it’s no surprise that Miniature Labradoodles are also happiest when they are with their families. These dogs also tend to have playful, energetic personalities and low prey drives. Well-socialized Mini Labradoodles tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. Due to their smaller size, these dogs can be injured by accidental rough play or accidental falls, so any interactions between young kids and puppies should be closely supervised. Miniature Labradoodles will usually bark to alert you when someone is at the door, but generally are not prone to nuisance barking unless they have been trained into it. It may not be a bad idea to train your dog to stop barking early on. Well-socialized Mini Labradoodles may be initially wary of strangers, but tend to warm up quickly and will often be happy to make a new friend.
