I want to breed her, what is the best to breed with her to cut down on shedding but keep her sweet personality?
Your dog is a mutt. What I don’t understand with breeding a labradoodle is: you breed a lab and a poodle to create it. Ok..then what? If you breed a labradoodle to another labradoodle what are you going to get? Maybe another labradoodle, or a something that looks more lab, or one that looks more poodle?The only thing they will have in common is that they will all be mutts. The world has enough mutts needing homes, why add more?
I have a labradoodle, mom is a standard poodle and dad is a labrador retreiver, what breed is my dog?

how about a duck?
ADD: At first i didn’t feel your question was worth my time, but decided to give you my 2 cents.
"I have a labradoodle – what breed is my dog?" It’s a Duck!
"I want to breed her" – Don’t. Have you seen how many dogs are in your local shelter and how many they kill each day? How about you ask them how many they kill each week. Every puppy you bring into this world will result in you personally killing a shelter dog because someone bought your puppy instead of adopting a dog from the shelter.
if you knew anything about breeding, and anything about your own damn dog’s breed, you would know that you always breed back to a poodle to keep the poodle hair genes. but does your current dog even carry this specific gene? have you health tested your dog to make sure she doesn’t have any genetic diseases that could be passed down to her puppies? you haven’t found a stud yet, but he better have those same tests and personality…
if you still want to breed after everything everyone wrote here, read this… and start saving up your money for the $1000+ emergency c-section.

No breed. You shouldn’t breed a mutt, do you know how many Lab/Poodle mutts I see a day? Suffering, and wanting loving homes? Some in other states dying.
Do not breed.

She is not a breed, she is a mutt and she should not be bred. And you’ve just proven the biggest lie about labradoodles – they do shed despite what all the so-called breeders say.

Your dog is a mix… whether it will shed a lot or a little depends all on genetics.
References :
Your dog is a Labrador mix or a Poodle mix, commonly referred to as a Labradoodle by ingenius breeders. Breeding mixes leads to mixed results. You would be better off with a purebred poodle, maltese, or bichon if you want a sweet dog with little shedding.

The person simply asked a question. I am not sure why so many felt compelled to start the name calling. Her dog is a Labradoodle. Whether it’s a first generation or a multi generation Labradoodle will depend on how her breeder created the dog.
Why does she want to breed is simply the question. Her dog is not a mutt. Labradoodles and Goldendoodles are wonderful dogs. But the question remains as to why she wants to breed her dog. She would have to do some hard thinking as to why she wants to and what her intentions are for the puppies that will be created.
If she breeders her Labradoodle to a Labrador, she must find out through pedigree research whether the Labrador in her Labradoodle is related to Labrador she wishes to use for the mate. Depending upon the coat type of her Labradoodle, she is doing nothing more than adding more Labrador. In that case, I’d say don’t do it because there are pages and pages of Labs and Lab mixes available for adoption, in newspapers and many lab mixes or labs that are purebred sitting in shelters not finding homes.
If she breeding her Labradoodle to a Poodle…she must ensure again that the Poodle she desires to use for mating is not related to the Poodle within her Labradoodle. This means intensive pedigree research. Curly coat puppies will come out of such a pairing. However, this person must know that along with a curlier coat will come a high drive personality and perhaps a bit more of an active dog than some people may wish to buy. There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog even if there are lots of breeders who make this claim. Dogs can carry pollen inside on their coat and paws, therefore making the hypoallergenic theory impossible. There will less shedding, but the dogs will still shed. All living things do.
Good luck and please make sure your creating the puppies for people who really want to take one. Otherwise you are going to have to be prepared to keep them and if you can’t afford to keep them all, then don’t breed your dog.
don’t breed it. enough dogs in this world already.

First – don’t breed her. Puppies are really not as fun as one might think! Sure, they’re cute and fluffy – but they’re also noisy, expensive, EXTREMELY messy, and hard to find homes for. Get your dog spayed – you won’t have to deal with her dripping blood all over your carpet when she’s in heat, requesting to go outside every five minutes, not because she really has to pee, but because there’re boy dogs out there, and the intact male dogs that are all over your house when she’s in heat are a real pain in the behind!
Your dog is a "labradoodle". You said it yourself. She’s a mixed breed "designer" dog that would have been called a "mutt" five years ago.

You want to breed her? That sounds pretty selfish. Don’t do it. There are plenty of mutts in the pounds to this day. Have you seen them? Their eyes? Those sad eyes?
References :
hmm what breed is your dog.. its a mixed breed:O They shouldnt be bred. but whatever.. nobody listens to the REAL breeders these days anyways.
Designer dogs are just a way for people to make money selling puppies that should be cheap cheap cheap.. but instead they get higher dollar for them!
References :
Your dog is a mutt, nothing more.
She is a poodle/labrador retriever mix.
Why would you breed her and add more MUTTS to the world?
Why did you buy an expensive mutt from an irresponsible, selfish breeder??
Is there NO sense left in this world????
ETA:
Hilarious how, of COURSE, yet another naive designer dog buyer finds out after the sale that the dogs shed, and shed a hell of a lot!! Hahahahaha…
Those breeders sure are laughing all the freaking way to the bank on these naive suckers!
But seriously, I cannot believe you shelled out so much money for a mutt that sheds all over your house.
You could have saved so many shelter dogs!!
DO NOT BREED your MUTT!

i suggest you check with your local breed club and learn about what the breed standard is of your breed of dog.
oh wait you can’t? why? because it’s a mutt. it’s exactly as you said a mix of two breeds. her personality is because of how she’s been raised not completely because of her breed mixture. no breed club worth the ink on it’s paper would register a mixed breed and call it a full breed.
the problem with breeding mixed breed dogs like this are….
1. it’s a mix. you can get any mixture of any of the breeds in a litter.
2. you can get any health and genetic temperment problems from any breed in the mix.
3. it’s a mutt. there are enough mutts in the world. yes they’re wonderful and great dogs, but you can find them in shelters all over, and many purebreds there too.
there is no breed standard to breed to, there is no genetic problems that you can possibly be fully aware of with a mixed breed. you should not breed your dog.
you would be putting yourself there with backyard breeder and puppymills if you choose to do so. since there is no known purpose of this mix, except it’s the dog of the day.
breeding your dog will also make it more at risk for complications, reproductive cancers and some behavioral issues associated with intact dogs.
love your dog for what it is, your companion and not a science experiment.

Your dog is a mutt and should not be bred.
Trust me, both Labs and Poodles are not in any danger of going extinct any time soon.
Get your dog spayed.

Your dog is a mixed breed dog. You cannot breed your dog. You cannot breed mutts. You will produce only mutts. No one breeds mutts on purpose.. No one breeds mutts for any reason. If it could be done.. cut down on shedding and make her sweet.. someone would have already done it..

Nekai is right about the genetics. How much do you know about the genetics of the parents? How much are you willing to spend on genetic testing of your dog, how much are you willing to spend on genetic testing for the stud? How much do you know or are you willing to learn about genetics so you understand what all of these tests mean? Without all of that you are not a breeder.

Breed her with another Standard Poodle to keep down the shedding.

Your dog isn’t a labradoodle- she is a poodleXlabrador.
yhe actual labradoodle is called the Australian Labradoodle, and is actually a mix of several different breeds of dog, including labrador and poodle. They were bred in order to be used as Guide (seeing-eye) dogs for allergic owners.
You must not breed. You don’t breed a mutt. You don’t breed without a liscence, and mutts don’t get liscences to breed.
Breeding is done to improve the breed, and since you have a dog who is a cross-breed, or a mutt, she needs not be bred.
Only experienced and registred breeders should do what you intend to. You have no need to breed your dog.She won’t care if she never has puppies- so long as "mommy" keeps loving her and giving her pats.
To decrease shedding? It won’t change your dog. Only her puppies, and without a genetic history, it may not even work anyway. Theres a whole lot more than just mom and dad, theres grandparents, great grandparents, and of course- the multi-generational throw-back. Labradoodle’s are not genetically pure, in that you can never tell exactly what you will get in a litter. That alone is enough of a reason not to breed.
You see, breeding is dangerous, you also make very little money off of breeding. If any at all. Breeding is done for the love of the breed/species. That means preventing unwanted puppies. You can’t keep all the puppies, and not everyone wants a labradoodle. Maybe the first litter, but there will be more.
My suggestion: DON’T BREED
Love your dog as a pet. Don’t breed her, in fact, she is a pet and shouldn’t be having puppies (what would you do with them? sell them? Each and every litter she ever has ever? Thats a lot of puppies, you may end up putting in a shelter)
Get her de-sexed, she’ll be less moody, she won’t go on heat (no more bloody discharge) and you won;’t ever have to worry about unadopted puppies.
Leave the breeding to the experienced

LOL.. so you noticed that your "hypoallergenic, low shed dog" isn’t quite what you bargained for huh? Let this be a lesson to all who want a designer dog. These poodle mixes DO INDEED shed… heck, poodles shed!
I agree that this dog should not be bred. She should be spayed to prevent any accidents. She is not any particular breed. She’s an over priced mutt!

OMG is this what yahoo answers has come to?
Yes i agree dont breed your dog. Love your dog! cuddle with your dog. I am petsitting a golden doodle golden retriever standard poodle x. The goldens mom got him as an oops litter pup for 50$ five years ago. he is a great guy get along with my APBT very well.
Anyhow what i noticed is a lot of ticked of women flipping out about the designer dog labradoodle. Yes ladies i agree the dog is a mutt your right. But dang get a grip not everyone in the world wants a shelter dog. I know now your mad at me but get ahold of yourself. I have a female APBT and a mixed breed small dog chi/rat/dach. in a few days i’m going to adopt a am staff neutered male. but i had a pure bred dog before i ever got into shelter rescues. like i said some people just want to start out with a pure bred dog or a designer dog first. let them get the feel of owning a pet before you push them into an abused neglected starved shelter rescue. EVER rescue has issues. issues that an un experienced pet owner can not handle. So please ladies think before you push something into the unsuspecting hands.

It’s pathetic to read the “hate” spewed out by both the purebred dog snobs and the shelter geeks. A couple of points: Pretty much ever breed of dog started as a mix of some sort, and now MANY acknowledged “breeds” have become so inbred that they nearly always have skin problems, joint issues, eye/hearing diseases….yeah….be CAREFUL about breeding those “mutts” people…you might not know what you’re getting. RESPONSIBLE goldendoodle and labradoodle breeders are working on breed standards. First gen dogs need to be carefully screened before any kind of breeding should be allowed…period. Are there irresponsible breeders out there? Sure there are, but that’s true with EVERY SINGLE BREED out there…and it’s probably MORE prevalent among breeders of AKC dogs. Finally, it’s going to be far less likely that a healthy, good natured, low-to non-shedding dog is going to end up in a shelter than it is that someone just doesn’t “get” why their Weimaraner or King Charles have such exotic diseases or character traits. Wake up people…and quit with the ridiculous and impossible to defend hate.
Everyone that says to go to a shelter and get a mutt has no idea what they are talking about. Have you been to shelters lately??? All they have are pit bulls and pit bull mixes. It is horrible. We are looking for a family dog and we are having trouble finding a good natured dog. We have tried CraigList, shelters, rescues and classified. If it’s not a pit bull mix, it seems we have to pay hundreds of dollars. Comments…..
