   From a crappy breeder.

   They are NOT a "designer" BREED. They are a mutt.

   I’m normally really anal about this, but I just got home from a very sad movie and don’t feel like saying things. . .

   Anyways, look here – http://www.pets4you.com/labradoodle.html

   And since I don’t know your area I can’t look for breeders locally in your area.

   Not ALL of those are reputable, so take time to find one.

   ETA: Yes, yes we all know Labradoodle’s aren’t true pure breeds, but just give the asker an answer they want and move on… Goodness…

   ETA: NOT true. SOME breeders of these dogs want them to become a true breed and are breeding them for the overall health of these dogs and in general helping the dog society. I could careless about the BYBs that breed these, but really.. Move on.

   personally, no, because I don’t like the look of them. But I know people who have them and love them. They have nice coats, because poodles are hypoallergenic it is nice for people with some allergies.
   They come in two coat types – the curlier, poodle look (very common) and the straighter lab-type (I think they look nice).

   Answer to your question: From a BYB that is trying to make money off of breeding mutts that can just as easily be found at a shelter, rescue, or the Humane Society for 1/10 of the price that breeders are trying to suck out of you.

   What do you mean by "first generation"? Do you mean a dog that is the product of a poodle and a labrador being bred together? Or are you looking for a dog that is the product of a lab/poodle mix being bred to a lab/poodle mix?

   I bet you could find some at petfinder.com if you search for lab mix or poodle mix. You might even find house broken young adults at the local shelter—because by the time they are 1 you can tell if there coat is going to shed like crazy. People get them as pups because they think they won’t shed and when the bouncy tigger-type dog is STILL shedding at 1, they get sick of it and dump them.

   The pound is full of Lab/Poodle mixes, which is EXACTLY the same as a first generation "labradoodle".
   Why spend thousands at a BYB when you can get the same thing from a shelter?

   @bookmom – first generation is one of each breed bred. A second generation would be a lab/poodle mix, bred to a lab/poodle mix. Most "breeders" do not do this because it produces the largest variety of traits.
   They usually do a "backcross", that is breed the Lab/poodle mix to one of the original breeds.

    Your local BYB or Puppymill. Which are places you do NOT want to support! I am SURE if you looked, that you could find a MUTT at your local shelter.
