Considered fantastic companions, the micro Labradoodle came into the spotlight sometime in the 1980s when an Australian breeder successfully combined a Labrador and Mini Poodle.
These puppies are first started by crossing a Labrador Retriever and a Miniature Poodle as opposed to a standard-sized Poodle. They are usually bred over many generations to get smaller and smaller puppies.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a non-shedding dog. One way to find out whether they are hypoallergenic enough is to meet a sibling from a previous litter if at all possible.
Typically, the lifespan of a micro Labradoodle is about 12 to 14 years. Labradors as a breed are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia as well as obesity and some eye disorders.
Some of the cheapest options found out there were as low as $500 for a new puppy if you adopt a Labradoodle, but in different areas, they’ve ranged up to $2,500+.
