I'm trying to get this designer dog trend sorted out in my mind, because I find it totally fascinating.
Now, to the best of my understanding, the Australian Labradoodle is considered a breed, because it breeds true, right? All pairings are Labradoodle to Labradoodle?
However, American Labradoodles are more of the 'Hey Bob, you have a pretty poodle bitch, why don't I bring my lab over and we can make some money' variety.
Is there any push in America to have Labradoodles/Puggles/Goldendoodles etc become a breed with standards of their own? Are there breeders who are actually trying to create these new mixes as breeds, or is it more of a 'look how cute' fad?
