[quote=Anonymous]We have a multigenerational Australian Labroodle who has been great -- and exactly as the breeder told me he would be temperamentally. He is a calm, no shedding, friendly dog  with a fleece coat (vs wool coat that can get more matted, similar to
poodles) who was easy to train and great with my DD, who suffers from both allergies and asthma.

Because there is no standard for labradoodles, breeders really can do as they please -- and often do. We went through the Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA) to find a breeder of multigenerational
dogs only. Earlier generations (F1, F1b, F2) can and do shed.  Reputable breeders will allow you to visit and I received more instructions from our breeder than I did when I had a child.

Labs and retrievers are great but we needed a low to no shedding dog my child would be able tolerate. Poodles can be very persnickety IME and we were warned by the breeders that the Portuguese water dogs we looked at could be especially willful at times and needed to be kept rather busy to prevent destructive behaviors as they were originally working dogs.

I don't regret getting our good boy one bit but always caution anyone considering any labradoodle dog to do their research, visit the breeder, and ask lots of questions. [/quote]
