There is a lot of different Labradoodle information about the way Labradoodles first came to be bred. Rather than get into a debate with breeders about where they came from, I would worry more about where they are now and what the differences are. Labradoodles do vary greatly in size, coats, and colors. Labradoodles with Australian roots tend to be multi-generational and therefore usually have a more consistent coat. This is not to say that F1B Labradoodles can't be just as allergy friendly and consistent in their looks. There are also a lot of breeders in the US who have been breeding long enough to have multi-generation Labradoodles that do not originate from Australia.

It's best to consider both the American Labradoodle and the Australian Labradoodle when choosing a breeder. Look for a breeder who has a lot of experience and has fine tuned their breeding program to produce consistently non-shedding coats with little variation in the litters. Of course, if allergies and shedding are not a concern, there are Labradoodles with straighter coats that have great personalities and make wonderful pets!
