Since Labradoodles began as a hybrid of a miniature or standard poodle and a Labrador Retriever, there has been no universal push to have Labradoodles recognized as a breed. Some breeders prefer to mate a poodle and a Labrador rather than two established Labradoodles. This method is thought to maximize the genetic diversity in the resulting offspring and avoid some of the inherited health problems that have been exacerbated by inbreeding in other dog breeds.
Other breeders combine Labradoodle with Labradoodle over successive generations in an attempt to establish a breed. These dogs are usually referred to as Australian Labradoodles. Australian Labradoodles differ from some other Labradoodle varieties because they may have other breeds in their ancestry such as cockapoos, two Irish Water Spaniels, soft-coated Wheaten Terriers, and a Curly-Coated Retriever.
