A '''labradoodle''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|l|æ|b|r|ə|d|uː|d|əl}}) is a [[crossbreed dog]] created by crossing a [[Labrador Retriever]] and a Standard or Miniature [[Poodle]]. Labradoodles were intended to be a good choice for people allergic to canine [[dander]].

The Australian Labradoodle Association, an organization run by labradoodle breeders, says they are "generally considered healthy dogs". However, they also state that hip and elbow [[dysplasia]] are common problems affecting labradoodles.<ref name=Miller-2019-article/>{{efn|name=Miller-2019-quote-3|The Australian Labradoodle Association of America,<ref name=alaa-website/> which represents Labradoodle breeders, says the animals are 'generally considered healthy dogs' but do have some common, but extreme, problems, like hip and elbow dysplasia.<ref name=Miller-2019-article/>}} Other ailments include eye diseases and [[Addison's disease]].<ref name=Oliver-Gould-2012/><ref name=Goldendoodles-Addisons-disease/> Wally Conron of Australia, who is credited with inventing the breed, has commented that healthy labradoodles are "few and far between" and most are "crazy or have a hereditary problem".<ref name="Miller-2019-article" />
