Australian Labradoodle Temperament
Sweet demeanor, gentle spirit, loving companion
The breed temperament is one of the two main reasons our family chose the Australian Labradoodle as our canine companions! It was also one of the reasons we decided to bring the joy of these wonderful dogs to others with the Good Day Doodles breeding program.
Over and over again, we had heard other owners rave about their extra-friendly, loving, and smart Doodles and we did some research. After all, everyone loves their dogs and say they’re the most affectionate, intelligent dog in the world. When we went looking for more information, we found source after source confirming the affectionate nature, comical sense of humor, and superior level of intelligence found in the Australian Labradoodle. Still, we wanted to see for ourselves how amazing these pups really were.
Why We Fell in Love with the Australian Labradoodle
When our first Australian Labradoodle joined our family, everything we had read and heard still didn’t prepare us for just how exceptional this breed truly is. These dogs go far beyond expectations in sociability, friendliness, and warmth. Incredibly intelligent and quick to learn, they are a joy to teach and even more of a joy to love. No description can fully capture their charm—you simply have to experience it yourself.
Originally developed to be hypoallergenic service dogs, Australian Labradoodles were bred with purpose, and it shows. They are intuitive, loyal, and eager to please—traits that make them ideal companions for families, individuals, and those with special needs alike. They’re not just smart—they’re funny, playful, and emotionally perceptive.
This breed is known for its energetic and cheerful disposition. They thrive on playtime, companionship, and daily exercise. They are excellent with children, get along well with other pets, and often surprise their owners with clever problem-solving skills. Don’t be shocked if your Labradoodle seems to be one step ahead of you!
In fact, the Australian Labradoodle Association of America describes the breed standard as:
“Extremely clever, sociable, comical, joyful, energetic when free and soft and quiet when handled. They should approach people in a happy friendly manner, keen and easy to train. They display an intuition about their family members or handler’s current emotional state or needs. This ability to ‘know’ is what has made the Australian Labradoodle an excellent dog for individuals with special needs.”
Our only warning? It’s nearly impossible to stop at just one!
