What the heck is a miniature Australion Lapradoodle???

A lab, mini Australian shepherd and poodle mix?

If I had to guess, those would be it. I tend to think, though, that the most honest answer is "A very over-priced dog, very similar to many dogs sitting in shelters waiting for someone to pay a minimal adoption fee". Just my opinion, though.

Aaah... apparently the australians have been breeding multiple generations of Labradoodles and are working with their national kennel club to get the australian multi-generational lines recognized as a new breed. I suppose it is just lab and a smaller than standard poodle, then, that is from several generations of labradoodles, and not just a lab and a poodle. Go figure. Thank you, Google.

I don't know but it just sickens me thinking there is tons of mixed breed dogs (beutiful by the way) that are sitting in a shelter watching their life pass them by.

I agree, but a part of me can't totally knock the people working hard to establish a new breed, and I have sympthy for people who's allergies won't allow them to own just any old mutt instead of a $$$$$ mutt.

That's what I find so funny about these dogs being bred because they are "hypoallergenic". There is NO hypoallergenic dog! LOL ALL pets have skin and saliva, every dog has dander.

Just remember, regardless of what the websites say, there is NO hypoallergenic dog. Period.

I Know!!!!

I didn't say there was such a thing as a hypoallergenic dog, but there are certainly some dogs less likely to trigger allergies than others.The lady next door to me can't live with the poms and pekes she loves, but has never had an asthma attack from her poodle.

While this is true, it can vary from breed to breed, it can ALSO vary from individual dog to individual dog as well
