A labradoodle is not a breed. And if by hypoallergenic you are looking for non-shedding no doodle mix is going to guarantee you that, if you buy as a puppy. An adult might work if it had matured to be non-shedding.

Labs shed. Boy, do they shed.

Why not just a poodle?

Portuguese Waterdogs are nice and they don't have to have the bare backside clip if you don't want. We meet one sometimes on hikes. She is so nice but requires a lot, a LOT of exercise. I doubt my high energy Lab could keep up to her.

P.S. Non-shedding is likely to mean no hair floating around but trips to the groomer required, or learn to handle the coat yourself.
