Best Life Labradoodles
Colors & Sizes

Every Australian Labradoodle is a little different.

A visual guide to the most common coat colors and patterns, plus a note on how size works in this breed. We breed for temperament and health first — gorgeous colors and dreamy coats are bonus traits.

This page is meant to serve as a general guide to the most common Australian Labradoodle coat colors and patterns. There are many colors, patterns, and variations that exist — and it's not uncommon to see white spots or white hairs emerge throughout a coat, catching light and creating unique flashy patterns or shading variances.

We breed for temperament and health first. Gorgeous colors and dreamy coat textures are just bonus traits. We love them all — and we hope you will too.

Sizing

How big is an Australian Labradoodle?

There's a range in weight for each height, depending on the build of each dog. Some are lighter on their feet; others a little more solid. There are no definite outcomes on how every dog will develop — but most of our litters will be full-grown between 25–40 lbs. Height tends to land between mini and medium, since most of our parent dogs are between the large end of mini and an average medium.

Size depends on the combination of genes each dog inherits. Just like children born to the same parents, the weight and height of puppies born to the same parents can differ. The good news: they're all amazing dogs — because Australian Labradoodle breeding has been responsibly handled across many generations.

If you're thinking about a service animal whose work requires a specific height, please ask. We can usually narrow down expected height and weight for a specific litter.
