Cockapoo line in multigen labradoodle pedigree..?

[M. and Mila]

Hi all,

Newbie here and soon to be welcoming our first labradoodle pup,so obviously very nervous and excited at the same time.

After placing a deposit with our breeder I had a closer look at the pedigree she sent and discovered that one of the stud's grandparent was a cockapoo.Now,I thought 'multigenerational' meant literally, many generations of labradoodles after the first initial cross between the lab and the poodle..

My question is, is this normal,for true labradoodle breeding? What about shedding,I know it is 2 generations away but still,cocker spaniels(?) shed.

 

Thanks for any input,in advance.

Indeed.

Thank you so much Cheryl,that is what I am looking for, " a delightfully intuitive,sweet,smart,no shedding dog" .

Your reply pretty much says it all, I really appreciated the in depth explanations (didn't know about the hip dysplasia proneness& other issues).

 

No that I know (better), I have to decide on the pup.Allocations will be in a week,can't believe how time flies.Yay!:)

Thank you all,can't wait to bring her home tomorrow & get to know and bond with her<3

I don't care what's in her pedigree anymore,lol.(although I understand now how things work).

She is adorable and will bring you lots of fun, love and companionship!

Cheryl, That was very well articulated, and I agree totally with what you have said.  It's difficult to summarize the history as succinctly as you just did!  

Wally was breed by the daughter of that "woman" and the daughter's husband.  My Wally is an absolutely wonderful dog.  Luckily, I was clueless about the drama going on down in Florida back then, as I probably would not have Wally in my life, had I known.

I agree wholeheartedly with the last paragraph of your comment.
