 Labraddodles January 26, 2008
Very highper dogs but very loving and SUPER smart. It's important to work with these dogs they are way too intelligent and need something to do.

This book is a sound book on anyone who is interested in owning a Labradoodle. It explains clearly the differences between the Australian Labradoodle and the Labradoodle -- and the problems associated with them. This book goes into great length to explain the differences and also the potential problems when dealing with a multigenerational versus a first generation dog. Check it out. I think you'll find it useful.
 Incorrect on terms of breed, beautiful pictures October 8, 2007

The biggest hurdle in working with this breed is trying to help consumers understand that there is a difference between the first generation, second and later generations. A difference between Australian Labradoodle and Labradoodle, a difference between those of healthy, good conformation/coat, laid back temperament lines and those of high drive, poor coat, and unhealthy lines. There are those families that want the first (lab to poodle) and second (first generation to poodle) generation labradoodles, however when inexperienced or new breeders attempt to sell the first generation(lab to poodle) and second generation labradoodles (first to poodle) as the later generations (labradoodle to labradoodle) or Australian Labradoodle (Labradoodle with English or American Cocker Spaniel), those breeders that have no idea what they are producing and selling puppies faster than they are learning, consumers are losing and the breed (Labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle) is losing. And in some cases these dogs are ending up in shelters because a family purchased a wonderful low shedding, higher drive, first generation Labradoodle, but wanted, a fleece coated, non shedding Australian Labradoodle.
Education is the key to getting the correct Labradoodle or Australian Labradoodle for each family.
This book, in my opinion is a step backward in education since it represents to many a valuable source, and it is incorrect.
It does however have beautiful pictures and shows the variety of looks, but does not state what each generation or type each dog is that is pictured, so again the consumer has no real education.
