Are we sure the country of origin is Australia? Sources for this assertion? I'm leaving it for now, but I wouldn't bet on it.... Quill 21:46, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- It seems from reading around that the Labradoodle is usually described at originating from Australia, based on the first recorded organised breeding programme (rather than random matings). I've seen the same said for the Goldendoodle on a couple of sites, but without any details. So I left it (and added it into the table) for the same reason you did Quill. Maybe "worldwide" or "various" would be more accurate? -- sannse (talk) 12:07, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, 'various'--something like that...or 'uncertain'...'not yet determined'...anything like that, whatever you think best. Quill 09:19, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Regarding my recent edits
- The labradoodle is not a recognized purebred in Australia. Some recognize it as a breed-under-development, some won't even accord it that much status.
- I think the paragraph on the hybrid's background should be left as is. I see no evidence to state definitively that this hybrid's sole place of origin is Australia.
- I am challenging the inclusion of Cont. Kennel Club and UKCI in the breed tables. I will put my argument on the TALK page os the dogproject.

Regarding my recent edits
I don't usually clarify my edits, but we seem to have some cross-purposes starting here and I want to forestall anything like an edit war.
- I have re-replaced the definitive statement about Australian origins with the various-countries origin as discussed above; no references have been given to counter this.
- I have attempted to remove repetitive discussions of the purpose of the dogs' breeding and the hypoallergenic stuff; it doesn't need to be repeated.
- Removed duplicated words next to links ([[Poodle]] shows up in the article, so it doesn't need to repeat Poodle [[Poodle]]).
- Removed technical term of "F1" in first paragraph since that's too much detail early and it is discussed later in the article.
- Tone down POV by removing, e.g., "beautiful". Also for NPOV, seems clear that some people think that only a 1st-generation hybrid is a goldendoodle while others are trying to establish a breed that breeds true. Have modified the appropriate paragraph to show the differences of opinion.
- Merge back in overwritten text that had links to other articles, e.g., to assistance dogs.
- Replaced "minor" referring to these kennel clubs as discussed above.
- Reorganized a bit and added headings to make redundancies clearer.
