This pup comes from a line originating in Australian. The breed was first created when a blind woman asked for a guide dog that her husband would not be allergic to. Since then, this line has been carefully cultivated to create an "allergy-friendly" breed with the best qualities of each source breed-Labrador Retrievers and Poodles. Unlike some breeders who arbitrarily combine these two breeds, this line has become a breed in itself.
