John, both flavours of "Doodles" have been bred over-extensively in Canada and the US. They were so popular when introduced that
ethics and responsible breeding have since gone out of the window, at least with a lot of so called breeders. I have many friends who have Lab and Golden Retriever doodles and spend huge amounts of money on them. Not only purchase price but subsequent vet bills. Many have developed forms of cancers, skeletal and other diseases. Others have been difficult and in some cases almost impossible to train. The odd one overly aggressive.
Do yourself and a resident a favour, visit an animal shelter and choose a friend who needs you as much as you need them.
