Not a breed in the USA. Mixed breed.

Are they recognized by the AKC?

No

Is there a true breed standard?

No

How do they compare with Labs and/or standard poodles?

A bit of one and a bit of the other, more or less.

BOTH breeds. :-P

The simple answer:

labradoodle = mutt

It made me think of an acquaintance of mine whose labrador bitch had puppies
by a rottweiler. I bet those dogs must have been the biggest teddy bears in
the world!
