RE: [labradoodles] AU Doodles AKC

[Sheila]

I think they will but it will be a sad day.  It seems once a breed goes AKC all the testing and requirements go away. The AU accredited breeders have very good guidelines to be referred to.  I think the "designer dog" for lack of a better term faze has a lot to do with AKC's lack of quality control so people are looking for better bred dogs.   S   [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.oregonlabradoodles.com We are happy to hold a puppy for you once you give us a deposit, until then we cannot guarantee puppy availability"     ----- Original Message ----- From: buttafamily5 To: labradoodles@yahoogroups.com Sent: 10/11/2006 8:03:44 PM Subject: [labradoodles] Difference between Am and Au doodles? How would one explain very briefly and simply to someone the difference between an American Doodle and an Australian Multi-gen? We have friends who recently purchased a pup from a lab/poodle cross (this is an F1, right?) from an ad in the newspaper, and can't understand why we are still waiting for our little multi-gen doodle, and are going to pay so much more. I would like to answer truthfully, and defend our decision, but not come off as snobby. On a side note, do you think the Australian Multi-gen will ever become an AKC registered breed? It's not important to me, I was just curious.
