Don, I found this on the internet:
http://www.animalbreedinfo.com/labradoodle.htm
"
Australian Labradoodle currently consists of 6 different breeds in its origin.
The
Confirmed and Approved Parent Breeds of the Australian Labradoodle are the
Poodle
(Standard, Miniature, Toy, Labrador Retriever, Irish Water Spaniel, Curly Coat
Retriever,
American Cocker Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel."
Now, that didn't answer your question at all, but it's my understanding that
the conception is:
Americans breed poodles and labs.
Australians, in the true sense, have created their own breed as described above.
Now, in reading some posts, I'm getting the idea that maybe some of the
Australians are breeding poodle to lab, so the waters are getting muddied
indeed.
