Labradoodles

This book examines the Labradoodle, a cross between a Labrador retriever and a poodle. The history, development, and behaviors of the Labradoodle's parent breeds are discussed. Genetics are introduced, as are inherited traits and their role in the possibility of illness in the dog and allergic reactions in people. Readers learn that Australian Wally Conren bred the first Labradoodles as guide dogs. The Labradoodle's coat, color, size, behavior, and care instructions are also highlighted with full-color photos and engaging, easy-to-read text. Includes an index and glossary.
