Is a Labradoodle really just a mongrel?

Kevin M1 asked:


When I was young there were dogs we called mongrels and dogs we called pedigree. Surely ‘made up’ dogs like labradoodles and sprocker spaniels and similar are just mongrels and should never command such high prices. They may be lovely dogs but they are only mutts. Agree or disagree?

    Who cares about purebred anymore? Like honestly, why have a dog if all you care about is its blood lineage and appearance. Mutts are always more healthy anyways.
    Ugh.

    The prices unfortunately are being paid because people are caught up in marketing tactic that look like the parents or themselves so theyre mongrels the price is willing to the same breed always produce puppies of that breed always produce puppies.

    Yep, agree. Silly people taken in by BYB and what’s cute and popular.

    To those who say “it’s a recognised breed’ and “in a few years KC might acknowledge them”

    No. To be a ‘breed’ you have to get standardized offspring. Not animals who vary greatly in size and temperment. When you breed labradors with poodles some look like poodles, some look like labradors. You don’t get a standard look or size.
