I'm not knowledgeable about how important AKC registration is with a mix like Labradoodles. Has anyone who bought the pups asked? I'm under the impression that they aren't accepting mixtures as being fully registered? I thought it's something they haven't decided yet.

I definitely think you should look at their pictures first.

Keep us posted!

I'm still waiting for the photos to be sent.
Judy, of the 20+ Labradoodle pups I've sold so far, not one buyer has asked about registration or to see papers. Since it will be many years before Labradoodles are a recognized breed, (if ever) they can currently only be registered as Hybrids which I think is misleading so I haven't done that at all.

In my opinion, registering a hybrid feels like trying to pass them off as something other than they are. If registration papers are important to a buyer, then they should probably buy a purebred dog rather than a hybrid. Quite seriously, anyone who knows anything at all about dogs can look at my Labs and know what they are. They're all very typical in type and I haven't gotten any with ring tails, narrow chests and long legs, like some that people have papers on. Mine are all within the approved colors as well, even though outside of AKC's view several breeders are breeding for silvers, whites and other oddities that would actually ban them from showing.
