G'day, Eddy here.
 
Cay mentioned:-
<<<< So to say if any blind person wanting a labradoodle can go to a guide dog school and get one is ludicrous! >>>>
 
 
Maybe it's not ludicrous with this particular guide dog school. Also note in the below that in the same way that this guide dog school may sources other breeds even from overseas then just maybe your guide dog school might similarly source a Labradoodle for you. Anyway the below is a copy and paste from this address:- 
 
What breeds of dogs are used?
In Australia, we use mainly Labradors. We have also crossed Labradors with Golden Retrievers, Curly-coat Retrievers and more recently, Standard Poodles, to produce the now well-known Labradoodle. In response to special requests, Guide Dogs Victoria may source other breeds, including German Shepherds from overseas Guide Dog Schools with whom Guide Dogs Victoria has a special relationship.
 
What are the reasons for experimenting with other breeds?
Some clients have a preference for a certain breed, and we try to meet their needs. The Labradoodle was bred by Guide Dogs Victoria particularly for people who have an allergy to dog hair. The aim was to breed from Guide Dog Victoria's Labrador brood bitches (which have an excellent temperament for Guide Dog work) with the Poodle (which does not shed its coat) to produce a dog that may be more suitable for people with allergies to dog hair.
