I have one. Love him. Had a shepherd and black lab. Got the labradoodle when the shepherd passed. Love the no shedding! Very smart dogs and easy to train. Greg (Shredded Evidence) also has one. His is a brother to mine from an earlier litter. Excellent breeder where we got them from and she knows what she's doing.

 

we have one also. No shed. Smart and kennel trained. Ours is black. In the summer we cut him short for the heat. Loves the water and kids.

We got Jasper over in LA. I breeder on the east side of Baton Rouge if I remember. Google it they will show up.

On edit. Southern cross labradoodles is where we got him.

Thank you for the responses! How are they as far as stinking up the house?

 

I can't speak to Labradoodles, but right now I'm on a couch with a German Shepherd curled up tight next to me (he thinks he's a lap dog), a small rescue terrier mix wedged between us and another small rescue mix eye balling us from the other couch trying to find an angle to join us on this couch. There should be a Lab curled up next to the couch but we lost her a couple of weeks ago.

With all these different dogs our house smells just fine Gonzales, so based on the Labradoodles' reputation I wouldn't sweat it. And wait, your a plumber! You should be good at giving a dog a weekly bath. Isn't water your thing? :slimer:

 

I have two Labradoodles and they don't shed. My wife was allergic to the Lab we had and after two years with the oldest, she has no problems. Here is where we got ours:

My son got a Labradoodle pup about a year ago. He and his wife both have a lot of allergy problems, and they have not had any allergy problems with this dog. They sent theirs to a 30 day service dog training, and they couldn't be happier.

 

I have a neighbor (across an 11 acre pasture away) that raises them and has what sounds like a dozen or more at any given time. They are honestly the loudest, yappingest, most obnoxious animals for miles around. They bark incessantly at all hours of the day & night, get out and chase peoples horses around, kill their geese, ducks, etc. All that said, I'm sure this is a direct result of the human beings and not the dogs, but sometimes it sure does destroy our quiet country atmosphere.

 

We have 2, and they don't shed, are very smart, and are hypoallergenic. The key is to get the Australian labradoodle. They are slightly different. Not the same as the f1b. We got both of ours through Lone Star Labradoodles http://www.lonestarlabradoodles.com/

 

Wow!! 2,800 to 3,000 thousands? Didn't know they were that expensive.
Are they "working dogs" (hunt/guard dogs) or family lap dog?

 

Wow! Though I have spend thousands on my dogs' care, that is amazing. $500 non refundable deposit, $3000 cost, along with an application. They must deliver their turds to the compost pile.

 

Haha I have to admit the cost caught me by surprise when we started researching. I've seen them from $750-3000.

 

There are other dogs that do not shed and have a reputation for not stirring allergies. One is a miniature schnauzer. They are about 30#, smart and obedient, and a good house dog. BUT they need a haircut every couple of months.

 

Jeffscout on here has one. He dove and duck hunts with his.

 

I have 2. A 6th generation and a 7 th generation. Most incredible digs I've ever owned. And that is coming from a lab person. I bought my first because of my son who is a cancer patient.

Apparently, it takes several generations for all the traits to meld together, so just breeding a poodle and a lab will not give reliable traits. There are also at least 3 primary varieties with various differences. One of my neighbors has one (she's a real sweetheart) and I regularly tell them that if the dog goes missing, don't come to my house looking for her, because I "won't" know anything about where she is. I've had a lot of labs, but next time it might be a doodle.

 

I married into one. Ive gotten attached. Only barks when shes supposed to. Doesn't stink and doesn't shed. Most nights you can find her curled up in mommas lap but she does love to be outside or in the water. The only downside is her sensitive stomach and her separation anxiety. Yes she was pretty pricey

 

I know they are good dogs, but I find it very ironic that if two breeds accidently cross they are considered mutts. But purposely breed the same dogs & all of the sudden they become designer dogs that people are willing to pay thousands of dollars for.

 

My thoughts exactly lol

We are in the market for a dog. The wife wants one, I just want to get one from the pound and let one pick us (our son Skyler that is)

 

Parents have a goldendoodle that's the same way. Big ol lap dog
No shedding. Doesn't smell.

Only problem is they have to take her to get sheared. She doesn't fair to well as a farm dog. She's like Velcro. Everything sticks to her. So short hair she gets.

Well we are going to pull the trigger on an Australian labradoodle, breeder is in round rock. We are going with the larger one, $2200. Can't believe I'm paying that much for a dog.

is that the breeder where the dogs live in an old house??

I think we looked there also

 

Mine is a golden doodle and she'll be 9 in February. I got her at 7 weeks. She is an incredible natural hunter. She loves being in the field and with my limited abilities I have turned her in to a more than respectable field dog. She is a beast in the dove field, except early season in the heat. She stays inside so isn't well acclimated to the early season. As someone else mentioned, their fur tends to attract things that a lab sheds off with their thick wiry coat. My dog, for example, would be a complete disaster in the south Texas sand Spurs. I don't take her on my Falfurrias hunts for that reason. And I make a poor retriever!

Mine doesn't stink, I keep her short in the summer, she has the best disposition of any dog I've been around, barks at the important stuff and sleeps through the rest. She was "supposed" to be 45-55 pounds and she is a thick solid 95 pounds!

 

We got a standard poodle about 11 weeks ago. The smartest and most personality out of all the dogs we have had. At 21 weeks he is behaved like a much older dog. My neighbor has a labradoodle that is awesome also. Either way I don't think you can lose.

Have fun with your new family member.

we got a labradoodle than later after a dog passed got a standard poodle. I love both of them, but I'd go with the poodle. the labradoodle was a pain and tore **** up for 2 years. typical lab. now he's a lazy couch potatoe. the poodle is a cool dog, pricey.

Thanks again everybody, makes me feel good about the decision!!

 

By far my favorite is the German Shepherd; however; my next door neighbor has a labordoddle that I just love!! She is so sweet and gentle and seems to be pretty smart. As far as shedding, when I run my hand thu her hair petting her I never come out with a lot of hair. I'm sure they need to be brushed often, but she doesn't loose a lot of hair.

 

Went and visited the puppy over the weekend and bad news, my son still had a reaction. Both kids were really bummed especially my daughter. Good news is I save $2200 and that will go towards my hall bath remodel in a few weeks. Were going to give it another go in a few years when he hopefully outgrows the allergy.

 

You could get two yorkie brothers for less and have tons of fun and affection
IMO

 

My brother has had one for a couple of years - great dog that doesn't shed and the rascal is scary smart.
