Everything a Labradoodle Breeder Might Not Tell You

  • We don't know as much about Labradoodles as some breeders would like us to think that we do. For example, did you know that there is no such thing as a "hypoallergenic" dog and that even if you get a Labradoodle, there is a good chance that you could still be allergic to the dog?
    It is frustrating. Here are some important questions about this "designer dog" that we will explain in this video:
    What is a Labradoodle and where did they come from?
    Why does my Labradoodle still shed?
    Will a Labradoodle be a good fit for your family?
    What is Labradoodle temperament and are they good with children?
    I share a ton of Labradoodle facts and information. Do not get a Labradoodle without watching this video first.

    Labradoodles are so popular right now... Do you think they will ever be recognized by the AKC? Will they ever become an actual breed rather than considered a mix? Think about it... At one point, all breeds that we recognize today were just a cross of two existing dog breeds.

      Dog Focus Training why do you title the video Labradoodle but mention Goldendoodle multiple times? I’m confused.

      John DeBenedetto the reality is that everything Labradoodle pertains to Goldendoodles as well. The only thing that might be different is that Goldendoodles may have a higher chance of cancer because that is true for Golden Retrievers. In my head the two dogs are basically the same thing. Sorry to not be more clear about that point in the video.

      @@brotherricksclassvideos8196 Thank you Dog Focus Training for providing the medium here for discussion and exchange.
      First, I don't fully agree with the statements "everything Labradoodle pertains to Goldendoodles". With the "Frakenstein" monster of "designer dogs" mentioned here "INSERT_Favorite_BREED_here...OODLEs" have been marketed all over the world. Australian Labradoodles have come a long way since their inception and have some very dedicated dog breeders working to secure the breed. Do not discount them all through generalizations pertaining to poorly regulated dog breeders and puppy mills.
      Second: Here is some info I learned along the way in finding a dog I could live with. The original Labradoodle (i.e. the Australian Labradoodle) has a couple of Associations with established guidelines for the breed. Check out the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association for assistance on finding MULTI-Generational Labradoodles as well as The Australian Labradoodle Association of America (alaa-labradoodles.com) There is also a close network of breeders striving to control the quality of the breed who are migrating to the name Australian Cobberdog....specifically for the lineage and gene issues mentioned in this video. You can learn more here www.mdba.net.au/about-us/the-mdba.html and more about Cobberdogs here
      www.mdba.net.au/australian-cobberdog.html.
      More simply put, a simple one or two generation of crossbreeding a Lab and Poodle does not make a Labradoodle. With no controls on the name Labradoodle you MUST doublecheck a breeders claim on the dogs they are providing. Be sure you know the difference between the terms Australian Labradoodle, American Labradoodle, Multi-generational Labradoodle, and Australian Cobberdog.
      DISCLOSURE: I am not a dog professional or affiliated with any of the canine associations mentioned. I am simply a person who has very bad animal allergies that went looking for a dog I could live with...and found myself drowning in social media and various websites selling designer puppies with little to no background or instruction on how to judge health quality or the dog's demeanor. NOTE: After many months of research and visits to dog breeders I have a 1 year old Australian Cobberdog who is nothing like the horror stories you have heard about any of the OODLE breeds. I welcome anyone interested in hearing more of my gained insight to reach out to me here on YT. I do have a list of worldwide Cobberdog breeders I can share.

      I think Australian Labradoodles are much more likely to be recognized by the AKC than regular labradoodles. Australian Labradoodles are multi-gen labradoodles with a bit of cocker spaniel thrown in. The breed already has its own organization and it regularly audits its member breeders. I was able to trace my dog's genes back several generations. The dog's coat is also way more consistent than regular labradoodles. Australian Labradoodles are more expensive, but at least you have a better idea of what you're getting.

    I am 64 years old and have had add a number of dogs in my life. One of which was a golden retriever very nice dog however, extremely hyper and difficult to train. I’ve had a wire hair fox terrier, which was our last dog but sadly she was killed by a coyote in her backyard at 14 years old. Very devastated. Swear I would never have another dog yet, my sister-in-law had a Labradoodle that I just was so impressed with. We got a Labradoodle from a wonderful breeder bred her dogs at home. End up happening that the dog we chose, her sister came available as well. so we ended up with two labradoodles. I have to say of all the dogs that we’ve had, these are the best damn dogs ever. Cute, not hyper like to cuddle and absolutely great with children. Ours are F4’s one has more Labrador in it, and the other more poodle.

    I have a 1.5 year old Australian Labradoodle. I picked them because they are consistently more calm than American Labradoodles. I was also able to trace his ancestry back 10 generations with all the health info. Beau is extremely smart, loving, wanting to please, and a velcro dog. This is good because I am training him to be my service dog. I wouldn't trade him for anything.

    Thank you for this video. I’ve watched this multiple times before I decided. Now I have a 16 weeks old Mini Labradoodle, apricot color girl (got her from the breeder when she was 8 weeks old). Her coat is lose curl.
    She’s the best dog I could ever hope for. She’s so sweet, smart and ball of love.
    I was expecting my puppy to cry in the crate at night for the first few weeks - no. She slept through the night, 8 hours from day one. She was play biting, thought her not to do that with treat, she learned in 3 tries. I couldn’t have asked for the better puppy. I love her so so much ❤️

    The Labradoodle.
    It has actually been around for well OVER 60 years
    There is some controversy over Wally Conron taking credit for the first Labradoodle.
    The dog mix had been known in the United States since the 1950s and was used in the entertainment industry in the U.S. as early as the 1960s.
    For example, a Labrador-Poodle mix named Fang had a recurring role on the TV show, " Get Smart " starting in 1965.
    The earliest term "Labradoodle" was first used by
    Sir Donald Campbell who owned a Labrador x Poodle called Maxie in the 1950’s and in his 1955 book “ Into The Water Barrier” it is named as, and referred to as a “Labradoodle”. .
    However, the use of a Labradoodle as a guide / service dog was not common until 1989.
    Australian breeder Wally Conron " introduced " the cross-breed to the Royal Guide Dog Association of Australia in Victoria. He hoped that the combination of the low-shedding coat of the poodle, along with the gentleness and trainability of a Labrador retriever, would provide a guide dog suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander.
    Now you know the rest of the story.

    • @DogFocusTraining

    I really appreciated that you emphasized how genetics leave a lot of uncertainty with doodles, but as a groomer I really wish you would have talked about grooming and coat maintenance. I can't tell you how many doodles come in for their first grooming session at 1 year old and have to be shaved down because they are matted to the skin and then go on to complain about the price. And almost every time they say the breeder said they are low maintenance dogs. It's a poodle mix and poodle's are one of the most high maintenance dogs out there (grooming wise.) This is so prevalent It's basically an inside joke in the grooming community.
    So for anyone who happens to read this comment and wants a doodle---Call your local groomer first and get educated. Where I live we charge anywhere from $100-140 for grooming and most of our Doodles are coming in every 2-3 months. Count the cost.

      @AtomicTed 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have 2 doods, both with different coats, and brushing daily is vital. Our youngest is very woolly & matts very easily without regular coat maintenance. The older’s coat is a mix & he sheds, is prone to matting & again, needs a good brush every day. Plus, both have regular visits to our groomer for a full trim. You must factor this time & costs into your ownership. Any breeder that doesn’t tell you this is irresponsible. Couldn’t live without a dood now though!

I see them soo often, I actually have grown to dislike doodle owners. I have like, 3 doodle owners I love, compared to over 30 doodles I see a month.
      Their coat is unpredictable, the breeders do ZERO filtering with heath & temperament, and the owners are all told "Don't take them to a groomer till their 6mo/12mo/3yrs" and they are just, ugh... (I'm speaking generalization, not every breeder is a freaking idiot)

    I had my first labradoodle until Oct 2019, he died of nasal cancer. Broke our hearts, he was the best dog and much loved. He was so kind and gentle. Miss him so much.. We got our second labradoodle a few weeks after, we were so lonely. This labradoodle looks just like our "Jake". Riley is wonderful as well, he has a different personality but equal in loveability.. I think Labradoodles are a wonderful breed although both of ours shed quite a bit. I think F1 for this one as well, not a soft coat but pretty curley.

  • @VanIsleDoodles
    @VanIsleDoodles 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I am a multigen Australian labradoodle breeder. I would like to comment on some of the things you bring up in this video.
    First, you refer to goldendoodles and then labradoodles in this video. Those are 2 entirely different breeds of dogs. I am not sure what type of dog you have in your lap in the video.
    Second, you make no reference to the difference between a multigen labradoodle, a labradoodle, an early gen labradoodle, an Australian labradoodle, a multigen Australian labradoodle and an early gen Australian labradoodle. These are all very distinctly different types of dogs with highly different features. It is important to be aware of the differences and what they mean in terms of the various things you are commenting on in this video.
    Third, you refer to the fact that it is incorrect to refer to a labradoodle as being hypoallergenic. Websters defines hypoallergenic as being allergy friendly. Multigen Australian labradoodles and multigen labradoodles are both regarded as being allergy friendly or hypoallergenic. Both of these types of dogs either do not shed or do some in a very limited amount. What is important is that people are individuals. Dogs are individuals. People may be allergic to dander caused by shedding or saliva. All dogs have saliva. One dog in a litter may be entirely appropriate for one individual who suffers from allergic reactions to dogs whereas another dog in that very same litter may not provide that same level of comfort. Similarly, another individual may be perfectly fine with both dogs in that litter. There is absolutely no guarantee of any dog every being compatible with a person in terms of allergies unless and until they are brought together. NO professional breeder would ever assert otherwise. It does seem throughout this video you refer to a lot of things that a backyard breeder may participate in but certainly not a professional breeder with a professional affiliation.
    Fourth, you refer to not being able to trace the lineage of a labradoodle. Of course you can. You mention how you can trace the lineage of a poodle and a labrador retriever. If you put one of each of those breeds together then necessarily each of their pedigrees are fully traceable. Just because you put them together does not render you incapable of researching their pedigrees.
    Fifth, any professional labradoodle or Australian labradoodle breeder does far more health testing than any AKC member does. Australian labradoodle are probably the most health tested breed of dog in the world. Just check out the breed panel listing of testing you can find on Paw Print Genetics website.
    Sixth, any purebred dog is the result of a closed stud dog book. This means that there are only so many genes available. With Australian labradoodles the stud book is left open to allow for genetic diversity. This, more than anything else, will ensure the health of a dog.
    Seventh, you mention being able to predict coat, size, temperament in a labradoodle and how that is not possible. Again, you fail to recognize the difference between an early gen and a multigen.
    Eighth, you mention how you have an 11 week old puppy who is blowing their coat. Labradoodles do not blow their puppy coat and shed at 11 weeks of age. As general rule they might begin to lose their puppy coat at 6 months but more likely they will lose their puppy coat around 10 months of age.
    Ninth, you refer to this breed requiring a lot of exercise. Hogwash. One of the best features of an Australian labradoodle is their adaptability and how they can readily and happily spend the day doing nothing with you or go for a 10 mile hike. They do not require masses of outdoor exercise. They do, however, enjoy being challenged mentally.
    Tenth, how tragic you want a dog who will "mind" you. That may have been something people thought was appropriate for their dogs 30 years ago. Today, people, at least most of them, have evolved and enjoy a cooperative relationship with their dog based on mutual respect that is earned.
    Eleventh, I wish you had taken the time to do more thorough research, recognized the differences within the breed and spoken with WALA officials, checked out the ALD breed standard and just in general had more knowledge before filming this video.
    Lastly, there are virtually no ALD breeders who hope their beloved breed will be recognized by either AKC or CKC. Many of us were previously purebred breeders. We choose to enjoy the ALD breed and leave those clubs for a reason. We certainly don't want this new breed to be sullied by the desire to produce dogs for looks rather than temperament and health.

      Debbie Runciman I payed money for a dog who I 1. Know the background history of, and 2. Wanted so he could take care of me and notify my family if I am in need of help at home. 😌 Let me educate you, a doodle is a mixed-breed, not a mutt. A mutt is a dog who you don’t the parents of and you don’t know if it has any direct pure blood heritage. I payed for a dog because I could with money that I had because I wanted him.
      My medical problems may go away with time, hopefully. Lol, you don’t know my medical problems.
      In summary, I can spend my money how I want. A labradoodle is not a mutt and is a fairly new type of dog so in later generations may be a full breed (unlike mutts which you can not guarantee the lineage.) I know my dog’s parents, grandparents, and the breeder. I know his siblings as well. I also have a mutt. We didn’t know her exact age, breed, family, or anything about her.

Most of us have done rescues - or other breeds of dogs. We love our doodles --but it is a great resource if you are considering being owned by a doodle - have to warn you though - you might not be able to stop at just owning one.

      There are so many variables. How old is the dog? What kind of dog do you have or want to get? Can he get somewhere to go to the bathroom? Will he be able to walk around or will he have to stay in a crate? You also have to account for individual dog traits like, does he have any anxiety associated with being left alone?

      That is great. I wonder how long it will be before the AKC starts accepting some lines of these designer dogs because good breeders have been tracking the pairs and health of multiple generations. At some point, every breed was a “mutt” and just crossed consistently enough to be recognized.

    I have an Australian Labradoodle - these are recognized AKC in many countries, and most Australian Labradoodle breeders follow the standards. My breeder provided his pedigree (all Australian Labradoodles since the 80s) and his hips, eyes etc were checked before we took him home. His is non-allergenic and there was a guarantee when i bought him that if he sheds or causes allergies we can have our money back or be put on the list for the next appropriate litter. I feel like if you missed mentioning this specific breed. This little pup looks exactly like his two parents in size, coat, and colour and he (or any of the other pups from the litter) did not "blow out" a puppy coat. He's 23 lbs of perfection at 3 years old.

    • @DogFocusTraining
      @DogFocusTraining  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      So, as far as I know, the AKC (which is the American Kennel Club) does not recognize any Labordoodle breed. I am aware of the Australian Labordoodles and there are some awesome breeders doing a great job with them. But, so far, they are not recognized in the AKC. However, it is possible that the UKC in Britain or the Canadian Kennel Club are starting to recognize them. I will have to look into those other organizations.

    I believe we should be thinking less about designing dogs and more about designing dog owners and trainers. Or at least about giving them a good check for the motives behind having dogs.
    Just as with people, we need to find out about what they think, what they feel and what they want more than trying to affect conduct through genetics. I have adapted to the temperament of my family's German Shepherd, who is an absolute Alpha-male, and probably way too much to handle for most dog owners, and I have adapted to our adopted Terrier, who just cannot understand the concept of a "walk" of less than 3 kilometers or one in which he is not so far away from me that I cannot even see him half the time. And they are fabulous, each in his very own way.
    Do not train your dog to be what you want, educate your dog and yourself to find the common ground in which both are happy.
