I see the lab, in buddy,but no doodle, where is the one from mexico?


@goldensrbest  Buddy is called a F1 labradoodle. He looks more lab...has the height, build and long legs of the standard poodle. He has a lab coat...not curly. Here is an explanation:

 

What is the Difference Between an F1, F1b, and F2 Labradoodle?

F1 Generation- An F1 Labradoodle is simply a cross between a Poodle and a Labrador. The result is a 50% poodle and 50% Labrador mix. F1 Labradoodles may or MAY NOT shed less than a Labrador. They may or MAY NOT be hypoallergenic- This depends on the severity of the individuals allergy sensitivity.

 

F1b Generation- An F1b Labradoodle is a poodle bred back to an F1 Labradoodle. The result is a 75% Poodle and a 25% Labrador. These dogs may or MAY NOT shed. The curlier F1b dogs will NOT shed- as they acquire more of the poodles curly coat. F1b doodles can also have a wavy coat, like an F1. These dogs are generally hypoallergenic.

F2 Generation- An F2 Labradoodle is an F1b Labradoodle bred back to a poodle. The result is an 87% poodle and 13% Labrador.

 

Purchasing a Labradoodle should be based on a few different criteria- If the person purchasing the dog has allergies, this needs to be a priority, as different types of doodles, i.e. F1, F1b, F2 all will have different coat and dander characteristics. Generally, its the dander of a dogs coat that causes allergies, not the fur or hair itself.

If allergies ARE NOT an issue, one can base which style of Doodle to purchase based on physical attributes, as well as physical performance. An F1 will generally be more athletic than an F1b or F2, as it has more Labrador mixed with it, however, all 3 generations- F1, F1b and F2 are active, sporting dogs which require a fair amount of exercise. My Labradooodles are cross bred with a poodle and an American Field Labrador. American Field Labradors are the hunting version of Labrador- taller, leaner, more muscular and much more energetic than their English Labrador counterpart.

@Dazlin  It has been a year  four months..since adopted.....they are much closer now than at first.  In fact Negrita bit Buddy on the ear  a coup,e of months after we adopted her.....I had to take Buddy to the vet to get it all cleaned out and get him on antibiotics too.  Since that time, Negrita is much more calm and friendly to Buddy now. .  It was just a moment when she had anxiety.

@SeaMaiden , oh wow that she bit him, yikes!!  Glad you're understanding and patient.    My husband was so super protective over our Lab, that he adamantly stated he would never tolerate one of our dogs we took in if she  ever bit or showed any aggression towards him.  Our lab was beyond any animal you could ever imagine.   Thankfully, Lucy learned her place and showed utmost respect for Maverick and even my Maltese, Teaspoon.

@Dazlin @Yes, Buddy is so sweet and non confrontational like your lab was. He was very upset when she bit him..... now they are best friends....it  all worked out, but it is the chance you take when adopting a pup into the family. I think since Buddy is so sweet, it allowed her to find her spot in the family because he let her have her way with no arguments.  If you have two dogs that are bull headed...you will most likely have confrontation.
