OK this time i researched the internet again and again and again hahhaa

here is the general consensus:
"The Labradoodle story begins with Wally Conren, the head breeder of the Australian Guide Dog Association, who coined the name in 1989 when he bred a litter of Labrador Retriever - Standard Poodle cross pups. Pat Blum had lived with vision impairment for many years, but never could apply for a Guide Dog because of her husband's problem with allergies. Pat approached Wally and was overjoyed when the AGDA agreed to breed a litter of Labradoodle pups, hoping the Poodle cross would lessen the likelihood of an allergic reaction.

Harley the Standard Poodle was bred to Brandy the Labrador Retriever and three pups, Sultan, Sheik and Simon were conceived. As Pat and her husband lived in Hawaii, fur samples of the 3 pups were sent to Pat at different ages. Sultan's coat was the only one that caused no problem at all. Sultan trained well as a Guide Dog and was united with Pat for the first time at eighteen months old.

Labradoodles became very popular among the blind in Hawaii, and Wally has said that 29 of the first 31 Labradoodles he bred were successfully trained as Guide Dogs, although only one in ten were reliably allergy friendly. The Australian Guide Dog Association continues to breed one or two litters of Labradoodles a year due to their popularity. Dr. Kate Schoeffel, a friend of Wally Conren, is an honours geneticist and Vet in Condoblin, New South Wales, Australia. Kate was the first to breed pet Labradoodles, and still breeds miniature Labradoodles to this day.

In the early 1990's two associated kennels in Australia, with a background in Spoodles (Australian for Cockapoos, a Cocker Spaniel - Poodle mix) began to breed Labradoodles to Labradoodles and Labradoodles to Poodles, breeding toward a consistently allergy friendly and nonshed dog. Other breeds were introduced into the mix as well. (The IALA is in the process of confirming the use of these purebreds)

• Curly Coated Retriever - this didn't work out and these lines were abandoned
• Irish Water Spaniel - two dogs were used in the program, one time each


The other breeds successfully introduced to the program were Cocker Spaniels.
• English Cocker Spaniel
• American Cocker Spaniel

FROM the AUSTRALIAN LABRADOODLE ASSOCIATION (ALA)


THE SITE IS

THE PARENT BREEDS USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE AUSTRALIAN LABRADOODLE AS KNOWN TODAY

In mid 2004 it was announced
that the Australian Labradoodle was not just a Labrador x Poodle cross but was a breed in its own right developed over many years with particular goals in mind.
To accomplish these goals
further development was done with parent breed infusions added to the already blooming Labrador x Poodle cross lines. The developers of the breed sought out the best way in which to compliment the Australian Labradoodle breed, and to develop the qualities that we find and love in these dogs.

In 1997 the very first Australian Labradoodle
Breed Standard was written which reflected these goals. For more information about the current Australian Labradoodle Breed Standard go to the Breed Standard Page. The ALA publicly acknowledge and recognize at the ALA’s October 2004 Annual General Meeting the six different parent breeds used in the further development of the Australian Labradoodle.


The Confirmed and Approved Parent Breeds of the Australian Labradoodle are as follows:

Poodle (Standard, Miniature, Toy)
Labrador Retriever
Irish Water Spaniel
Curly Coat Retriever
American Cocker Spaniel
English Cocker Spaniel

The Irish Water Spaniel was the first non-Poodle/Labrador used in the development of the Australian Labradoodle.

The main goal of this Parent breed
infusion was to produce the rich chocolate colour in the Australian Labradoodle that you now see today without loosing the Allergy and Asthma friendly coat. The Curly Coat Retriever followed bringing back some of the “Retriever” qualities into the Australian Labradoodle.

While the Curley Coat Retriever
was able to bring in some positive “Retriever” qualities they also brought in some negative qualities such as the shorter hair on the face and muzzle of the dogs. In the Australian Labradoodle breed this trait has become known as an “Open Face”. Also noted, as a negative was aloofness, this trait is to be bred away from. The English and American Cocker Spaniel are the last recognized Parent Breeds of the Australian Labradoodle.

Their use with that of the miniature poodle
was to develop the miniature size (13-17 inches) in the Australian Labradoodle. The Cocker gave the miniature size the boning/stockiness that was being lost by managing the size purely with miniature poodles. The negatives that are now being bred away from are domed heads, long ears, and shedding coats.

These six Parent Breeds
are the ONLY approved Parent Breeds used in the development of the Australian Labradoodle to date. The ALA does not recognize any other parent breeds than those listed and used above. Any Australian Labradoodle infused with other Parent Breeds than those listed above will not be considered for registration. Parent Breed Infusion Committee: The ALA has assigned 5 ALA Accredited Breeders to a Committee for consideration and approval of Parent Breed Infusions.

NOTE: Any Australian Labradoodle past
the F3 generation bred back to a Parent Breed (other than the Poodle) the litter produced will revert back to an ALF3P(R/S) Australian Labradoodle in their grading. When and approved Parent Breed Infusion litter has been born you will then be required to submit front and side profile pictures for any offspring being left entire from the infusion to the ALA Parent Breed Infusion Committee for approval and addition as Foundation Breeding Stock in the Australian Labradoodle.

TY Annmarie - everything I have found says if you have a lab/poodle mix only that it is not an Austrailan Doodle, and that is what I get out of what you posted

You can have a Multi gen lab/poodle mix, but not Austrailan - will have to research more to see if anyone says anything about a lab/poodle only being austrailan

Thanks for all the info - facinating

I didnt know all these details when we got Annabelle - will be nice info to have if we get another, although I'd prob go with same breeder, AB is agood dog

I may be a little slow on the uptake but if all these breeds of dogs are being bred into an Australian Labradoodle how is this breed ever going to be recognized by the AKC? I mean who really knows what is in the dog? Please don't get offended anyone but isn't better to just stick with two breeds? (ie lab and poodle) And then there is the case of my dog who is lab poodle and golden....... Hmm all to complicated for me!!! I just know that I love my dog and yes I paid a lot of money for a "mutt" as most people see it (not anyone on this site) but she has all the qualities I wanted in a dog so that is why I got her. I would like these dogs to become recognized by the AKC to stop getting the snide comments from others!!!!

I'm completely clueless about all of this. What is it called if you breed a F1 labradoodle to a F1 labradoodle? How about a F1B to a F1 or a F1B to a F1B?

One more - is there such a thing as an Australian goldendoodle??

LOL love the worms

Leslie it really depends on what breeder you talk to ,,on what they call them
personally i do not breed F1 labradoodle to F1 Labradoodle, defeats the whole purpose
multi gen is NOT aust labradoodle
I raised multi gens, that have nothing to do with aust labradoodles
technically anything past a f1b is a multi
in any case the issues are really not the doodles it is the breeders behind them, and the tactics some have used in the past ,,now thats all im gonna say or there will be real issues

(shut up Nancy,,,LOL)

You breed f1 Labradoodle lab to poodle
to f1 labradoodle
you are doing the same exact mix as the first gen, breeding lab back in as much as breeding poodle
it defeats the whole purpose a non shedding doodle

I would like to know why you don't breed and F1 to an F1? How does it defeat the purpose? Just wondering.....

And for opening a can of worms how about Maya's breed....an F1 labradoodle (mom) to an F1 goldendoodle (dad).
