Labradoodle Origin (LO) is the name given to a Labradoodle which is the
cross of a Labrador and a Poodle, it has no other breeds in its make up.
We have some very nice Labradoodle Origins in the UK and some of the
Australian Labradoodle breeders are introducing them into their Australian
Labradoodle lines and the reputable breeders all carry out extensive health
testing prior to breeding.
The UK is renowned throughout the world for having exceptional quality
Labrador Retrievers, English and American Cocker Spaniels both in the
show and working categories. It is well documented that the breeders in
the Uk have been carrying out extensive health testing of these breeds for
many generations, therefore introducing them into the Australian
Labradoodle lines and with careful selective breeding can only be beneficial
to the development of the breed The Australian Labradoodle.
The first cross of Australian Labradoodle to a Labradoodle Origin is called
a 50/50 Only a percentage of the puppies produced from these mating’s will
have the desired non shedding attributes of the Australian Labradoodle and
a percentage will resemble the Labradoodle Origin, however it is impossible
to quantify percentages. Breeders should then select the puppies with the
desired attributes of the Australian Labradoodle to breed forward to further
develop the breed, it will take time and many generations until they become
consistent as a breed.
I now only have one Labradoodle Origin in my breeding programme,
a girl called ....... 'Tora's CreamofBritish Fozzie Bear'
she is an F1b and the perfect
example of why you can not
quantify percentages when
breeding. On paper she is
75% Poodle and
25% Labrador and many
inexperienced people would
assume that she would have the
non shedding Poodle coat But
she doesn't, Fozzie sheds a little
bit and resembles more
Labrador than Poodle.
With careful consideration and
knowledge I will be able to
improve on Fozzie's coat by
mating her to a boy who is a
coat correcter. Despite not
having the best coat for a
Labradoodle, Fozzie has many attributes that warrents introducing her to my Australian lines. In particular a fabulous temperament and a health record going back through many generations. Most important to me is the fact that I know her heritage.
Fozzie Bear is the Great Grandaughter of my original show type Chocolate Labrador girl Tcarlaidh Brown ~ 'Bella Jenny At Debylyn'
I bred Fozzie's grandma ~ Carrie 'Debylyn Blue Ribbon' and owned her mum ~ Medley.
Fozzie comes from a long line of well bred show Labs and every one of the Labradors in
her pedigree were hip scored under the breed average and some are also elbow scored,
we along with other Labrador breeders started to elbow score in the late 90's and we
started to dna test for Prcd pra in early 2000.
Medley was fully health tested and was later mated to my Miniature Poodle boy Hedley.
and along came Fozzie Bear.
Fozzie looks quite different to my Australian Labradoodles but she is often the one
people find most appealing due to her disposition, she has most certainly inherited the
real fun character of her father which shows in her expressions.
In 2011 I mated Fozzie to Mukti 'CreamofBritish Amiboverd' and I kept a Chocolate fleece girl who I named 'CreamofBritish Ellie Bear'

Ellie is developing into a very beautiful girl with great
character and a lovely non shedding fleece coat
At 12 months Ellie will complete her health testing
and upon maturity at 2 years or older Ellie will be
mated to Nirvana
