Labradoodle stud dogs with coat genes and health results
Part Labrador Retriever and part Poodle, the Labradoodle was the first doodle to become a household name. It is a cross, not an AKC breed, so quality varies widely. Therefore, health tests and coat DNA matter even more. VerifiedStuds shows both on each stud profile, beside the fee.

Claim this spotLabradoodle stud fees usually run from $500 to $2,000. A health-tested male with no proven litters often charges $500 to $1,000. However, proven multigenerational and Australian Labradoodle sires with tested coat genes can ask $1,500 to $3,000.
These are market estimates, since fees are private. Many doodle breeders also use a purebred Poodle as the sire. So compare our Poodle stud page too. The stud fee guide explains contracts and return services.

Overall range (estimate): $500 to $3,000

Because the Labradoodle is a cross, it has no AKC parent club and no CHIC list. However, the Australian Labradoodle Association of America sets testing rules for its member breeders. A careful stud owner covers the risks of both parent breeds. We suggest these results:
Test
What we accept
Hips
OFA hip evaluation or PennHIP
Elbows
OFA elbow evaluation
Eyes
Exam by a board-certified ophthalmologist (ACVO)
Patellas
Veterinary exam for small and mini sizes
DNA panel
prcd-PRA, EIC, vWD and DM, plus coat genes
Brucellosis
Negative test taken before the breeding
The Labrador side brings hip, elbow and eye concerns, along with exercise-induced collapse (EIC). The Poodle side adds eye disease and, in small sizes, loose kneecaps. Therefore, a DNA panel should cover both families. Registered results are on the OFA website.
See our Labrador Retriever health testing guide and the other health testing guides for more detail.
First, learn the generation labels. An F1 is a first cross of Labrador and Poodle. An F1b is an F1 bred back to a Poodle. Multigen means both parents are Labradoodles. In addition, the Australian Labradoodle is a multigenerational line that also includes Cocker Spaniel ancestry.
Next, ask for coat DNA. The furnishings gene gives the fluffy face and is linked to low shedding. A stud with two copies passes it to every puppy. Without these tests, a low-shedding promise is only a guess.
Finally, match the size. Standard, medium and miniature Labradoodles overlap, so ask for his height and weight, and for the size of his parents.
The cross became famous in 1989, when Wally Conron bred a Labrador to a Standard Poodle for Guide Dogs Victoria in Australia. He wanted a guide dog for a client whose husband had allergies. The cross is not recognized by the AKC, and results vary from dog to dog.
At their best, Labradoodles are friendly, clever and eager to work. However, no dog is truly allergy free. As a result, honest breeders test coats and health, and they explain the limits to buyers.
Labradoodles of similar size breed naturally. However, when a small male is used on a larger female, artificial insemination is the practical route. Chilled semen is common as well, because breeders often search widely for the right size and coat genes. Each profile lists the methods on offer.
The dog artificial insemination guide explains timing and shipping. Then see how VerifiedStuds works.

How much is a Labradoodle stud fee?
Most owners charge $500 to $2,000. However, proven multigen sires with tested coat genes can ask up to $3,000. These figures are estimates.
What health tests should a Labradoodle stud have?
There is no official list. Even so, good breeders test hips, elbows and eyes, and run a DNA panel. We also require a negative brucellosis test.
What is an Australian Labradoodle?
It is a multigenerational Labradoodle line developed in Australia, with some Cocker Spaniel in its background and its own breed associations.
Do Labradoodles shed?
Some do. Shedding depends on coat genes, which a DNA test can show. Therefore, ask for the stud's furnishings and shedding results.
Can crossbreeds be listed on the site?
Yes. Purebred dogs and crosses can both be listed on VerifiedStuds.
