A group of Labradoodle assistance dogs. This is a list of common dog crossbreeds.These are crossbreed dogs created deliberately by crossing two purebred dogs.Some are known as designer dogs and are bred as companion dogs, often given portmanteau names derived from those of the parent breeds; others are bred to combine specific working qualities inherent in the parent breeds.
Labradoodles can be different sizes, depending on the size of sire and dam used, and their size-names generally follow the names used for poodles: miniature, medium, and standard. Miniature labradoodles typically weigh around 18-28 lbs, medium around 26-45 pounds and standard can be from 45-75 lbs. [5]
These dogs could be considered only as crossbreeds, not as designer animals, since appearance is not the main reason for them to be bred. An exception to this is the Labradoodle, which although having a portmanteau name, is often used as a Guide or Assistance dog [9] [10] as well as being a popular family dog.

Australian Labradoodles are called Australian Labradoodles because the Australia-based breeders wished to avoid the breed being mistaken for the many Labrador Retriever/Poodle crosses being bred in a way the LAA deemed as unhealthy and irresponsible. The Australian Labradoodle is a developing dog breed and not considered purebred. [2] [5] [10] [11]
The name doodle is also used to describe this crossbreed. The name goldendoodle is derived from "golden" (from Golden Retriever) and "Labradoodle" (itself a portmanteau of Labrador Retriever and a Poodle). [3] [4] Deliberately breeding Poodles with Golden Retrievers actually preceded the 1990s.
White cockapoo with brown ears. As with most animal crossbreeds, there is a great deal of variability in the cockapoo's dimensions and appearance. [4] All colors or combinations of colors can be found, though most commonly they are white and brown.
