The Labradoodle, a Labrador Retriever and Poodle cross, was first bred deliberately in Australia in the late 1980s, when Wally Conron of the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Victoria set out to create a guide dog for a woman whose husband was allergic to dogs. The idea caught on around the world. As a mix, Labradoodles aren't ranked by the AKC, but they're a fixture of American parks.
Labradoodles vary widely: some have a Lab's sleek head and a light wave, others a full Poodle-style fleece. Chalk, cream, apricot, caramel, red, chocolate and black are all common. For a portrait, the essentials are the shape of the head, the dark eyes and the texture of the coat around the face. Their outgoing, sporty personality looks just as good in a clean modern illustration as in an oil painting.

Labradoodle portrait questions
More answers in the FAQ.
Are Labradoodle portraits different from Goldendoodle portraits?
Each portrait comes from your own dog's photo, so it's about your dog rather than the label. Labradoodles often have a slightly broader, Lab-like head and Goldendoodles a softer golden coat, which is why we suggest slightly different styles. Try any style free.
Which portrait style suits a Labradoodle?
We'd start with Oil: Chocolate and caramel coats look rich in oil paint. Watercolor is a close second: Cream and apricot fleece looks light and airy in loose washes. You can try every style with your own photo and pick the one that looks most like your Doodle.

A sharp, close photo in soft daylight, taken at your dog's eye level, is the foundation. For a Doodle specifically: Show the head shape.
