Anyone here have experience with Labradoodles?

I wanted a big dog, and this is what the wife chose. Just seeing if anyone has one, and what their temperaments, and manners normally are? This is a family dog that will stay in doors. We have a two year old, so hoping the labradoodle has some patience. Any pros, or cons y'all know of, post em up. TIA.

off my phone now. i can only speak for poodles, but theyre super smart, love to retrieve, great at swimming, and very, very good dogs. if i had gotten sophie used to guns when she were younger, she would be an excellent duck dog. maybe the next one
if we open the door, she wont go outside or come in until we tell her it's okay. we sent her to teh GOAT dog trainer in Louisiana for 6 months as a puppy, and the woman turned her into a robot, so we had to break a few of the things she learned (like to never walk in front of us) to give her some personality. this woman was the real deal though. when we went to drop sophie off, she had a giant yard with tons of Brittanys and GSPs that were all going apeshit over Sophie's arrival. this bitch walked outside, waved her hand, and all the dogs sat down and shut the frick up
if you're looking to use one for hunting, you shouldnt have any trouble. the lab wont hurt a bit and it will be super athletic. idk if you train yourself or send em off, but either way youll be good. they're great around kids and know when it's time to play and when they need to chill out
old bonus vid LINK

My parents adopted a labradoodle from the local pound. When they first got it, whenever the dog would get scared or excited she would dribble out a little pee. After work, she stopped this and is one of the best dogs my parents have ever owned. She is incredible smart, very easy temperment and easily trainable. You're kind of getting the best of the lab and best of the poodle.

I know a girl who has one. It was the best mannered puppy I have ever seen.

Yeti's parents have a pile of these things. Good disposition from my experience with them. They're hyper as frick but I think all the current ones are pretty young so that's normal.

We have one that just turned 2. She has been a great dog. I would echo everything Carson said. Loves to swim and chase squirrels, very good with children, does not shed, very laid back dog.

I am going to need one of these, I think my fiancee is obsessed with them. But she said no more dogs, I just feel if I "found" one she would be ok with keeping it.

That's a good looking dog. We picked out a chocolate female. We are just hoping she has a fleece or wool coat and not a hairy coat.

sister-in-law paid about $1800 for a pair of brothers when they were new-born pups.
They ended up getting twice as big as they thought they would and twice as much energy. two years later after they had eaten half of the house (carpet, doors, cabinets, etc.) they ended up giving them away to a trainer.
Moral of the story: They are great dogs, but big, and have a lot of energy that needs to be bled off. be prepared.

Have one that's 7. Takes about three years to lose all that extra energy and calm down. Other than that great dog loves the water.

My buddy has a golden-doodle, roughly same temperament as a labradoodle. Super smart dog, and great with kids as well as other dogs. Tend to be a bit more high energy than a poodle, and are going to need lots of exercise, or it will become destructive (chewing, digging) out of boredom.
In all seriousness, if you can afford it financially, consider getting 2 pups from the litter. 2 pups= half the puppy problems, because they wear each other out. I accidentally got suckered in to buying 2 german shorthaired pointer pups, but it made the dreaded puppy stage so much easier. They are 2 now and the best dogs I've ever had.

To me they're too much oodle not enough lab. They look like a poodle---just get a poodle if that's what you like

Not exactly. completely different coat, bigger bodied dog, and a higher energy level.

Yeah, SIL has a Goldendoodle that's 70 lbs and extremely smart yet well behaved. Could easily see it as some sort of working dog.

My golden doodle was attacked by no less than six small children while 5 drunk adults screamed at the tv for three hours Saturday night. Not one snap,growl, or even attempt to hide. Loved it all and she is only a couple months over a year. Highly recommend.
Eta: she was a little wild as a puppy. Chewed some furniture and dug some holes in our yard. Every instance was our fault for neglecting her or forgetting she was out alone.
