    labradoodle = Labrador + Poodle.




    Doubt they will find one of these in a shelter; everyone I know with this mix had gotten them direct from a breeder.


    I believe the appeal of the -oodle combos is that they have less dander/allergens for those who are sensitive.

    I swear, you must be a real backwards-ass moron if you don't know that the Safe Haven law exists by now.

    What the heck is a labradoodle?



    Don't they have regular dogs like cocker spaniels or beagles any more?



    Portugal is on the western end of the Iberian peninsula.

    I would go for the labradooble, it's very French Canadian. Where is Portugal by the way? Is that in the south seas? Didn't Vasco da Gama come from there? I know a lot of people from Brazil speak Portugese. Is it in south America?
