A Labradoodle is a crossbreed dog created by crossing a Labrador Retriever and a Standard or Miniature Poodle. The term dates back to at least 1955 but was unpopular at the time.

However, since a small number of the mixed breeds have the same or similar low shed coat of their poodle parents or grandparents, some people consider this mix a good choice. One should note before getting any dog, poodle or poodle mix, that no dog is truly hypoallergenic, since not only dander can be the source of one’s allergies. Hair, saliva, and even bodily fluids can cause allergic reactions in humans.
