Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Labradoodle?

How much should I expect to pay?

Remember that Labradoodles are fashionable crossbreeds and don't get carried away. Most reputable breeders are, at the time of writing (2006), charging around £750 for a dog. Many charge less, reflecting the normal prices for good pedigree Labradors or Poodles which rarely exceed this level - remember the Kennel Club doesn't want to know about your Labradoodle so the pedigree chart is really only of use in validating that responsible breeding has been present throughout your dogs lineage. Later generation crosses, with established coat types, may command the higher price for people who need a dog to which they will not be sensitive.
