I recently heard about a newer breed of dog called a Labradoodle, a mix
between a Lab and a Poodle, and I was wanting to find out if anyone knows of
any good breeders. Also how much would a puppy cost?

You don't have to be a "good" breeder to be a good Labradoodle Breeder.
You could even be someone as amazingly stupid as yourself and be a good
breeder to benefit from hybrid vigor and here's why:

Crossbred dogs are not hybrids. Hybrids are the offspring of
significantly genetically different organisms, such as species or
subspecies. Dog breeds are not significantly genetically different in
this manner -- in this way they are akin to human races. A mixed-race
child isn't a hybrid, and neither is a mixed-breed dog. Hyrbids are
often marked by sterility, as well.
A mule is a hybrid (horse x donkey), a foundation Bengal cat
is a hybrid (domestic cat x Asian Leopard Cat), a 'Labradoodle' is
not.

"Producing HYBRIDS in the agricultural and animal husbandry industries
has been done for decades because of their high yields, genetic disease
resistance and generally more robust individuals. In dogs, this Hybrid
VIGOR (Heterosis) also carries through. When hybridizing with stable and
well-tempered purebreds, litters are produced with all the above
qualities and typically, a more mellow temperament. Genetic defects that
may be common to some purebreds are not commonly seen in the HYBRID dogs
(possible yes, but not common). For example, eye and epilepsy conditions
are rarely seen in Cock-A-Poos; skin allergy conditions are rarely seen
in Westie-Poos; and hip dysplasia conditions are rarely seen in the
large-breed HYBRIDS. Since defects in different purebreds ARE different,
they tend to neutralize negative things and compensate each other in the
hybrid."

This is completely false, and considering that the source is a
mill for cutesy-named mutts, I'm not surprised.

I don't have time to explain biology to you, but here's a link for you,
and I've got hundreds more if you can't understand this one. Just let me
know. Thanks

As I understand it, Australian breeders claim they are breeding the
true Labradoodles. I don't have their website handy but if you look
up labradoodle on Google you could find them.

If they're anything like my standard poodle/lab mix, they must be
wonderful. She is built more like a standard poodle than a lab but
she sheds like a lab. She's also way smarter than I am and has a great
sense of humor. Her bark also scares the hell out of anyone who comes
to the door. . . until they see her face :-)
