| Not to be rude but there is so much wrong with even the name mini labradoodle. You take a full sized lab and breed it to a 10 lb mini poodle. Sometimes you get a decent looking mutt and other times you end up with an atrocious mess like my MILs dog, she has a full sized body on 6inch legs. She doesn’t move right and her hips suck. If you want a “doodle”. Get something that matches in size at least.
Better your odds of a healthy pet. |

| Dog is not for me. Just asking if someone on here breeds them or knows where to get them. |

Location: Duvall, WA | There is no such thing as a "quality mini Labradoodle!" Complete scam, someone is making money off breeding mutts and I guarantee you they will not be quality. Tell your friend to be prepared for plenty of temperament and health issues. He should get a poodle, a Labrador, or something like a Portuguese Water Dog. If they want a labradoodle try the pound, they are full of them because many are nightmares. |

Location: Nebraska | Hate to break it to you, but you're not going to find the quality that you find in purebred dogs because responsible breeders won't breed mutts. Plus, with breeding a huge lab to a tiny poodle you could get some serious joint issued later on. Why not just go for a mini poodle? |

Exactly!! Soooo tired of people manufacturing the 'designer' dogs. I don't know which irritates me more - the people that keep breeding OR the people that spend big money for mutts! And I'm a dog lover by the way! |

| UGH please, please encourage your friend or whoever to just go to a shelter or rescue if she wants a mutt!! Like others have said it's not exactly a winning idea to combine a large breed dog with a small!! |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Horrible Idea... If your friend is wanting a smaller dog that's hypoallergenuc get a poodle.
If your friend is wanting a larger sized hypoallergenic dog get a water dog like previously suggested or a standard poodle.
Regular Labradoodles are too scatter brained to remember their own owners... They are tough to train, tough to keep healthy, and nightmares on a leash. I can't imagine someone trying to get a mini that's any better....
Your friend would essentially be paying 1200-2500 for a mutt.... Shelters are full of mutts for much less, but responsible breeders are also full of top quality dogs as well for that price. Responsible breeders will have dogs taken out of their breeding programs for health issues, genetic issues, behaviorial issues etc. Responsible breeders will breed to improve the breed, not their bank account. Please talk to your friend.... |

The regular Labradoodle is bred to a standard poodle.
The mini Labradoodle is bred to a mini poodle.
Same size lab as a stud dog bred to both standard and mini poodles.
That's where most all the joint problems, health problems, and dwarfism stems from is from breeding to the mini poodle. |

I think more than anything, it is NOT the idea of a "designer" dog but the fact that breeding a "MINI" poodle to ANY very large dog is asking for a myriad of possible health and joint problems....and possibly problems to the mini trying to birth larger pups! My question is WHY? |

If got to have a Labradoodle just stick with the full size.

| I have two standard size Goldendoodle. I absolutely love these dogs, great with kids, very easy to train and very very smart dogs. I can’t testify to the mini doodles but we love ours.
My best advice is make sure they have all their testing done and if you are interested because of the low shedding make sure you are buying a 2 nd generation and the coat is not smooth. Since they are not purebred dog there tends to be a variety of coat types.
Good Luck! |

Yes I’m aware of that. Just stating what I have. I personally don’t like mini anything including horses but she didn’t ask for my opinion. |

LOL I knew you were aware of that, you are the one who bought the dog and it sounds like you did your research well before purchasing.
I was just stating it for anyone reading the thread so they would know.   |

I have a question & thought. My question is How can you do genetic testing on a mutt ? IMHO, you can't. My thoughts are, golden retrievers & yes I love them dearly have a serious cancer gene. A reputable golden breeder does a lot of testing on their breeding's. No reputable golden breeder would ever breed for a Goldendoodle. Standard poodles & goldens can have hip problems. So why would anyone cross the 2 ? Why, to make a buck & I am so against people breeding a mutt to make a buck. $1200 for a mutt !! That is insane. Go to the shelter & rescue a mutt. These designer breeders are another form of puppy mill breeders. I am glad you love your goldendoodles, but I know of someone who has one & the dog is a mess. In other words it is aggressive with other dogs. |

I didn’t comment on this post to have to defend why I own Goldendoodles, just share a few tip on what I learned when I bought my doodles. You don’t know what I paid for my dogs or the reason why I decided on the breed. Yes some breeder put huge price tags on them but you have that in any dog breed. |

| Thank you for your positive reply. There have been some input that seems worthless and basically nasty. Happy to hear you like your Goldendoodle and have had positive experience.
