I love him and I want one too! We've had labs (chocolate and yellow) for the last 24 years and think there's nothing like them. It would be great to have one that didn't shed. I wonder if you would have to groom a labradoodle like you have to do a poodle.
He's a doll!! Enjoy him to the max... A must watch with a new puppy is Cesar Millan,"Dog Whisperer" on the NatGeo Channel or his books. He's amazing!
We don't have dogs any more because of our traveling, but we participate in the "Pets-From-Paradise" program in St Croix...it's wonderful to escort very small pets to a new home in the States.
