Do the labradoodles you see resemble one another? I'm just curious because when I was a girl I loved Quarter-arab crosses based on one mare I liked. I've since been surprised to learn that such a mix doesn't nesessarily reproduce one look. Cross-breeding for an appearance seems more like a crap shoot than breeding pure-breds would be.
But, then, isn't that half the fun? You know, seeing what the outcome of a mixed-pairing look like?

Susan,
Working for a vet and having three huge labradoodle/ goldedoodle breeders as regular clients, it is obvious this mutt is a breed. I don't like it, hate it when they bring their 6week old puppies in to get spayed or neutered, but AKC and UKC is not the only registeries. yes they are the biggest and most credited, but they will soon enough recognize it as a breed (Yuck in my opinion. lol)
Here is the website to one of our local breeders and OMG for what the puppies sell for and she has a waiting list!! http://www.gailslab radoodles. com/
This is one of the bigger registeries they talk about all the time..

They are right up there with the boxer, pug, lab, australian shepard, mastiff breeders that come in. They get their dogs OFA and Penn Hip Certified and BAER tested if needed. I mean they get the works done so at least they are responsible. Things change and it is like this in the horse world too.
Just throwing out there what I've learned while working for a vet.

I mean, look at the labradoodle for instance, I dislike poodles very much and wonder WHY would you breed a lab to a poodle? because someone somewhere in australia loved labs, but were allergic to them, well poodles being hypoallergenic would be a great mix for a lab right? So now you have a new breed
