Well, I have seen 2 Labradoodles from the same nest. Two familymembers decided to take one.
They both bark at every little fucking sound, no matter what you do, they both have random moments where they could start biting you.
One of them is just straight up agressive if a man makes a sudden move and needs to be locked up if I come to do a small job in the house.
They definitely need to be trimmed and their behavior issues are very annoying. So if this guy regrets making Labradoodles? Me too, buddy, I regret you actions too.
Could be the poodle genetics, I don’t think adding labrador would do any good for the inbreeding depression. Them and Dalmations, they’re not known for their kindness.
Not to be an asshole, but that also could be that your family are just not good dog owners, I am a bad one too and if I didn’t have a calm, adorable rescue dog I’d probably have a dog with shitty behavior too.
You’re not an asshole. The way you treat a dog makes a huge difference. Unfortunately these two are treated like kids. One of the family members wanted to get a husky at first, at least we managed to steer them away from that.
So yes, they are also not good dog owners. But we also had labradors and they were treated the same but never were agressive. Never. Dumb? Absolutely. Happy goofballs? Absolutely. And a lot better as doodles.
Both of the doodles have issues with allergies and skin stuff. And food. They are very peculiar about the food. Allergic to half of it, and some of what they can handle they just don’t eat because they don’t like it.
Both family members have racked up considerable cost at the vet. The health issues are real. Especially when we did not have the different energies figured out.
And really, what kind of dog is allergic to fucking grass? Grass, of all things??
TLTR: don’t get a doodle, get a real dog. And train it properly. Cheers.
This can also be the product of a stupid breeder selecting dogs with bad traits, and not the fault of the breed.
Labradoodles have a significant higher prevalence with this kind of problems. It’s the breed. Common problems are allergies, problems with their joints (e.g. hip dysplasia) and problems with their eyes (PRA).
That said: AFAIK aggressiveness is not a typical problem with Labradoodles. Typical behavioural problems are hyperactivity and separation anxiety. Excessive barking can be an expression of both of these problems 🫣
The behavioural problems @MrAlternateTape@lemm.ee mentioned seem to me like problems caused by humans. No offence! It’s just an opinion from some random internet dude.

Good burglar deterrent tho 😉

Knowing who you are buying from is important. This is relevant for any breed. I don’t have an opinion on labradoodles specifically.
That said, shelter dogs all the way.
