Many Labradoodle enthusiasts feel that the biggest obstacle to working with this breed is prospective understanding of the difference between the generations of Labradoodles, the difference between an Australian Labradoodle and Labradoodle, and what makes for a healthy coat and desirable temperament and what does not.
Unique families will need to be matched with different generations or varieties within the Labradoodle breed due to differences in traits, temperament and appearance. However, inexperienced breeders do not always completely understand what they are producing in their litters, and puppies are sold and more are produced before essential knowledge is gained. When this occurs, the consumer loses and so does the breed. A worst-case scenario that happens all too frequently is that dogs end up in shelters because a family purchased a first-generation, high-energy, low-shedding Labradoodle, but had instead wanted a fleece-coated, non-shedding Australian Labradoodle. Please research the breed and the breeder before committing to that adorable little fluffball—not only for the dog’s sake, but for your own.
