It's okay, I really wanted to know who recognizes them as a "breed", they are not recognized by any clubs or org's so just because you or I call them Labradoodle it doesn't mean they are a breed, they are Hybrids, or mongrels or mutts we call them, the crossing of 2 recognized breeds, lab and poodle, which use to be accidental, now they do it on purpose and the only reason they charge so much is because ppl keep paying the price. I know quite a few ppl who went to the shelter and got one for $100 dollars, standard fee. I don't know your UK kennel club, but the AKC or UKC does not go out and check breeder farms or kennels nor do they make sure the paperwork is from the correct male or female being bred, they look at the number next to the animals name and if that number is registered with them, then they register the litter. No one goes out to check, to much fraud is going on, unless the kennel club org checks then all your getting is a number for your pup (ie..soc.sec number sorta), it doesn't mean they are good or bad is what I was trying to say.
I know someone who took an unregistered min pn and he gave it his registered dogs number and bred him to the female so he could get new blood into his program that no one would know, puppies have the number registered as his male not the unregistered one, unless someone DNA checks them no one will know. I did report it.
But I say (IMHO) labradoodle is still not a breed, until someone recognizes it and it has some sort of standard set, like all other dogs developed and records are meticulously kept, it is not recognized as a breed, it's a lab/poodle mix or cross, it just has a cute name.
