Morphology

Labradoodle = Labrador + poodle (transparent) = Labrador + poodle

The word is a clear blend of two familiar breed names and directly denotes a cross between them, which learners can deduce.

Etymology

Labradoodle comes from joining the dog names Labrador and poodle together, so the word itself shows it is a mix of those two breeds. A Labradoodle is a dog made by mixing a Labrador and a poodle, which is why it is often friendly and has a curly, low-shedding coat.
