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.

Same here.  Charlie came from the daughter's place in Australia and if I had known what I do now I would not have my sweet boy.  According to his vet and his daycare/training facility he is "the best dog ever".  Of course I feel that way too but my thoughts are obviously biased!
