Genetic analysis of the modern Australian labradoodle dog breed reveals strong selection for poodle traits

ABSTRACT: Allele frequency analysis reveals that the breed is enhanced for genes controlling traits associated with the poodle-type coat, which are perceived to have an association with hypoallergenicity, with no strong signatures of selection for Labrador retriever (LAB) traits. This study provides a blueprint for understanding how dog breeds are formed, highlighting the limited scope of trait selection in defining seemingly new breeds.
