The Australian Labradoodle Assoc. is the first dog breed association worldwide to require compulsory DNA testing for ‘prcd-PRA.
Prcd-PRA is a generic eye disease that Labradors, poodles and at least 28 other dog breeds carry. The disorder causes cells in the retina at the back of the eye to degenerate and die. There is no treatment or cure for PRA.
Promoting and protecting the Australian Labradoodle since 2000
The vision of the ALA is to protect and nurture the Australian Labradoodle throughout Australia and the world for successive generations.
To work with the Australia National Kennel Club (ANKC) towards the goal of full recognition as a pure breed.
To advise and guide prospective and current owners and breeders in order to promote the gathering together of enthusiasts for the common good of the breed and its fanciers.
To maintain as far as is possible the current state of robust health in the Labradoodle.
