When I was Vice
President of the Australian Labradoodle Association (ALA) my primary
role was to help new and old breeders alike. So this....my Breeders
Resources page was created! I will
continue to
gather information here that has been useful to me and my fellow
breeders so far. If you have any questions concerning breeding or the breed in general
that is not already included here and I will endeavour to answer them or
at least point you in the right direction☺

It is also with great excitement that I
share with you my theories on colour genetics. A how to
work out your dogs and even
your future puppies colours!!!! All the colours are covered with
puppy & adult photo examples. I have had help form articles
found on the Web, other breeders (and many many sleepless nights
:) I ask you all to help me prove or disprove my theories so far
:) I feel that if colour is easily achieved by breeders, more
time will be spent focusing on other important areas of the
breed's development.

HIP & ELBOW Dysplasia.
The Labradoodle Breed
Average for Hips as at the 18th March 2006 is "12.22"
There are two ways of testing dogs for Hips/Elbows, Scoring from
X-rays or Pen Hip (Ask you Vet if there is a centre in your
state if you'd rather use Pen Hip) Both Schemes are excepted by
the ALA as long as dogs are over 1 year old. Most vets can take
the x-rays, you will need to get a copy of the scoring/grading
form before you visit the vet (email me) X-rays and the form are
then sent to Perth with a small fee :) to "Australasian
Veterinary Radiology Service" for grading under the BVA Scheme.
There are a few other grading places available in Aus. The Perth
office is mostly used by Labradoodle Breeders as it is nice to
be able to compare scores between dogs (All Perth scores are
scored by the same person :)
BRITISH VETERINARY ASSOCIATION.
Web has BVA averages lists
of pure breeds of dogs scores and other info.

The best advice I
can give you is, Research as much as you can (Google It :) Don't
believe everything you read or are told, Use your common sense
:) Always be prepared early & have the phone/vets ph number
handy!
