Welcome to SUPREME DOODLES ! We are located ten beautiful acres in
Central Florida. Our breeding program currently consists of F1 Labradoodles
which is a Labrador Retriever bred to a Standard Poodle. We are pleased to
announce that we have a litter of beautiful White F1
Labradoodles available!
Please call or e-mail and we will be happy to answer any questions.
New litters will be available on a regular basis.
The Labradoodle is a unique and fascinating dog which was first
intentionally bred in Australia. Its early origins trace back to Northern
Victoria, although credit is usually given to the Guide Dog Associations - due
to the media coverage gained at that time as the search for a low allergy Guide
Dog led to the breeding of Labradoodles.
The Father is a white CKC Registered Std. Poodle and the mom is a light yellow AKC
registered Labrador. Click here to

Temperament
This breed craves human company and excels as a companion for those with
disabilities, visual impairments, young children and the elderly. They are very
trainable and get along with other dogs well. The Labradoodle is incredibly loyal to their
family and makes an excellent watchdog. Their single layer coat keeps them cool
in the heat and warm in the cold. They adapt well to different situations. They
are content to run along with you or join you for a relaxing reading session.

History of Labradoodles
A Standard Poodle and a Labrador Retriever were bred together in
response to an enquiry by a blind lady in Hawaii who needed a low allergy Guide
Dog.
In the first litter there were three puppies who were low
allergy and very smart and easy to train. This was exciting enough to encourage
further attempts at breeding more good examples. Sometimes there were allergy
friendly puppies in a litter and other times not - but it was enough to start
the Labradoodle as a beginning new breed, on its way.
The Labrador's easy going ways and the Poodle's smartness made for an interesting combination and an exciting discovery, was that a percentage
of each litter had puppies which appeared to be allergy friendly. An added
bonus, was the lack of shedding in some of these puppies, and the absence of
doggy smell.
Characteristics
The Labradoodle is known for its outstanding intelligence and trainability, low
allergy coat, low to non-shedding coat and lack of doggie odor. They are
slightly heavier than the Standard Poole with strong front limbs. They are an
overall balanced dog, with a slightly longer than square build. They come in
three sizes: Standard, Medium, and Miniature. There are curly or wavy coats and
they come in seven different colors: Black, Chalk, Creams, Apricot, Chocolate,
Cafe au Lait and Silver. The coat should be about 4-6 inches in length. The
Labradoodle's head is broad and their eyes are large, slightly round and set
apart. Their nose is square and large. The tail is like a saber and should be
low set.

Grooming
The wavy coat Labradoodle needs very little grooming. Curly coat Labradoodles
require regular grooming and should be clipped two to three times a year.
Neither requires frequent bathing and as their coat repels moisture and dirt. |
