I'm really not trying to start anythng here, but how can a mixed breed dog have champion blood lines when it can not be confirmed in the WKC or the AKC ?
Who sets the standard for a cross bread dog ?

The labradoodle came about by wanting a service dog that was hypo-allergenic for patients with allergies. Labs are your typical service dog, but they shed. Poodles are very intelligent and don't shed and have no dander on their skin. This is why you now have the labradoodle, aka a designer mut that doesn't shed and is hypo-allergenic!

I looked up Labradoodle on the American Kennel Club. I found one article Are purebred dogs better than mixed breed dogs? but I did not find a recognized breed for labradoodle.
I do know that ANY dog can be eligible for the CGC (canine good citizenship award) which is regestered with the AKC.
But all this is , "The Canine Good Citizen Program lays the foundation for other AKC activities such as obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events," from AKC.
I think the CGC is a wonderful thing and all dogs should have it, but it is not a breed standard and has nothing to do with confirmation of a pure bread dog.
I've been working on this for a year with my australian shepherd/chow chow mix. My "australian chowperd".... my "new breed" dog, LMAO.
Just out of curiosity, what 'service' are labradoodles bread to provide ?

From what I know about "designer dogs" they can only be registered with a mixed breed registrary which I think is called the American Pet Registrary. Technically its not purebred anything even if the dogs mom is 100% AKC Lab and the Dad is 100% AKC Poodle. It's parents are "purebred" but to be purebred it has to be breed from two pure breed dogs from the same breed. None the less hes adorable good luck with finding him a good home!
By AKC do you mean Australian Kennel Club? Or are you referring to the American Kennel Club's Foundation Stock Service registry which is one of the steps for working towards getting a breed recognized within the American Kennel Club. Note that in order for a new breed to be registered with FSS, it must first be a recognized breed from an acceptable foreign or domestic registry.
Whenever anyone claims to have a "registered" or "pedigreed" dog, it's important to ask the next question - which registry. Just about anyone can found a "registry" and recognize any breeds they want. In fact, there are even many that have names or abbreviations similar to well-known and well-respected registries and can be very misleading. For example, CKC. The Canadian Kennel Club is well respected, but the Continental Kennel Cub (within the US) - not so much.

For everyone's knowledge....I purchased this labradoodle from Danmar Labradoodles in South Carolina. Upon purchase I received her 5 year pedigree from both the mother and father, both of which are champion dogs. I have registration certificates from the AKC as well as a certificate of dog registration with the ILA. This is the first dog we have ever owned and I am new to all the different associations. I am just finding that she is too much for me to handle right now with a small child in the home and feel it would be best for her and us if she were placed in a forever home where she can get the attention she deserves. 
These dogs are bred to be service dogs for children with disabilities and/or elderly, as well as sight dogs for the blind.

I wish you the best with finding her a good home. I hope you don't think I was trying to bust your chops, but I have issues with so called breeders that SELL mixed breed animals for exorbanant ammounts of money.
I googled labradoodle and saw a place here in Orlando bragging about their dogs being bread/kept in an exclusive gated neighborhood....Whoopty doo........Their price for a mixed breed dog............................. $2,500.
To me that's a totaly unethical breeder. They are financing thier lifestyle off the ignorance of unsuspecting people. And what do they get for that kind of money........ A non-recognized, with any reputable regestry, dog and a pedegree from a biased culb representing that specific "breed."
It harldy seems worth my hard earned money.
I'm done ranting now.
And for the record, she is a cutie.

That is an important distinction to make. Many people see the words "champion" and "registered" and automatically make assumptions as to their meaning.
I'm not trying to pick on you or make you feel bad about the dog by any means - it's an adorable puppy and deserving of a good home, as is any companion animal. And if a registry of esteem eventually deems that the labradoodle is deserving of recognition as a breed in and of itself, then that's great, but 5 years worth of pedigree doesn't make a breed.
Typically, a breed needs to be in existence for many many generations, prove that it breeds true time and again, i.e., the traits that are in its "standard" are able to be reproduced successfully/reliably in the offspring. If this particular puppy actually has one champion lab parent and one champion poodle parent, then there's no way that anyone can say that this "bloodline" breeds true to the labradoodle "standard".
These breeds have only been purposely crossed for what, 10 years maybe? There are breeding programs that have been working with due diligence for many decades that still haven't achieved international recognition as a breed.

FREED: Your response is insensitive and uncalled for. What does it matter what I do when I am home? I am not by any means incapable of caring for the dog or both the dog and my son! I am just overwhelmed with a new puppy and a sickly child both under the same roof. I feel that the puppy deserves more attention than I am capable of giving her right now. I am just trying to have a good heart and do what is in the best interest for the dog.
I think this post is losing its purpose. I posted this on here in hopes of someone seeing her and wanting her or knowing someone who maybe does. I did not put this on here to be debated about whether or not she is "purebred" or registered or what have you. Bottom line is she is a sweet puppy in need of a good home. My son is sick and has been in and out of the hospital. I feel my attention and devotion is more needed toward our son at this time. That is the ONLY reason we have decided to rehome the dog. If you are not interested in the purchase of the dog then please move on.

Freed, I am the wife talking here and I don't mean to cop an attitude. It's just that this post has become a debate about who recognizes what breed and everything but the rehoming of this pup. My husband works out of the home 6 days a week 60+hours a week, I am a stay at home mom, that is why he said it is too much for his "wife". Does it really matter who is caring for the dog in the home anyways?

As a dog trainer, I frequently discourage people from trying to raise a new human baby and a puppy at the same time. There's just no way that both can receive the amount of attention they deserve, and typically it's the puppy that gets the short end of the stick.
I give cook kudos for recognizing this and if he knows that he and his wife aren't able to give the pup the attention it deserves, then finding it a good home is the best choice for all.
It sucks that the pup is being re-homed so early, but it will be easier for the pup to adjust while still young, than later in life after not receiving the attention it needs during such an integral period in it's socialization, growth and development.
