Labrador Hybrids
Further information: Dog hybrids and crossbreedsThe Labradoodle is a "designer dog" that is a cross-bred Labrador and Poodle. A concept that originated in Australia, the intent of breeding this cross was to try and create a service dog suitable for allergy sufferers. However, there is no guarantee such a cross will inherit the hypo-allergenic poodle coat. Some assistance-dog groups use Golden Retriever–Labrador Retriever hybrids because they believe this cross produces dogs with excellent temperaments.
The assistance dog organisation Mira utilises Labrador-Bernese Mountain Dog crosses ("Labernese") with success.
