Get the Labradorable mug.A cross between two purebred breeds of dog: The Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. Contrary to popular myth, these crossbreeds were not created to "make a smarter dog" but to create a stable seeing-eye-dog more suitable for those with allergies to dander. Poodles are a single-coated breed, Labradors, the standard seeing-eye-dog, are double coated and blow coat (shed out) twice a year. The crossing of the two breeds for this purpose originally started in Australia.
Also contrary to popular belief, just because you throw a Labrador and Poodle together and make mixed puppies does NOT mean they will all be single-coated dogs. On a first generation mix, it's a crapshoot and they might all shed. If you want a Labradoodle that does not shed, you need to buy it from someone who has been breeding dogs proven not to shed in at LEAST a third or fourth generation mix (Non-shedding Labradoodle to non-shedding Labradoodle). Even then, there might still be the occaisional throw-back to the doublecoated Labrador that will shed.
Also, buying from a reputable breeder ensures that you don't get a dog that is scared of it's own shadow and won't fetch a stick.

Get the labradoodle mug.The Labrador Husky is not a Labrador dog bred with a husky. It is an indigenous breed of husky comprised of the Canadian Inuit Dog and the Labrador Wolf. Due to geographic isolation the Thule Inuit allowed their dogs to interbreed with the local wolf population giving rise to what is known as the Labrador Husky.

Get the Labrador syndrome mug.Often called a "designer dog". Cross breed of a Labrador and a Poodle. Come in various different sizes, all depending on which breed of poodle is bred with the lab.
Depending on the generation, most will not SHED, but like humans, you will find a few random hairs on black clothes.
Energetic, full of life, LOVE the water (from the poodle- from the word pudel meaning puddle), and are EXTREMELY intelligent. With the proper training, a labradoodle can not only play dead, but needs a double tap to go down and stay down!
Always turns heads when walking, gets along with other dogs well, although their rambunctious personality can be a bit much for less energetic dogs.
GREAT family dog. LOVES to be around people, dogs, anything!
One of the best dogs in the entire world.

Get the Labradoodle mug.Quite possibly the worst breed of dog in existence today. A cross between a poodle and a lab, resulting in a dog that is scared of its own shadow and refuses to fetch sticks. It is a common misconception that labradoodles are intelligent dogs, when in reality they have the equivalent brain power of domesticated turkeys.
Joe: Hey, what's the stupid looking dog that jumps when it sees it's own shadow?
Fred: A labradoodle, if you ever get one I will smack you.
