Evermor Labradors does not endorse the breeding of "designer dogs" or allow our Labradors to be used to create any crossbreeding. Please read this from The Labrador Club and Poodle Club of America. Both The Labrador Club and the Poodle Club of America specifically do not condone the use of purebred dogs in creating "designer dogs". People breeding these mixed breeds are doing so in order to make a profit by charging THOUSANDS and people get duped into thinking they are getting some sort of special or "perfect" dog when actually they are getting a mutt. This includes "Labradoodles", "Goldendoodles", "Puggles", "Yoriepoos", "Cockapoos", etc..
From the Poodle Club of America:
Just Say No to Designer Dogs
Too Good To Be True!
We have all heard about these new “Designer Dogs”. They are created by people who will cross a Poodle with anything from a Labrador to a Chihuahua under the pretense of creating the “perfect” dog. They claim to have created new breeds that are hypoallergenic, smart, non-aggressive, calm, and healthy? Logic would have to tell you that this is just too good to be true!
In actuality, for the thousands of dollars that you may spend to acquire such a dog, you will receive a mutt with little or no health testing behind it, no predictability to its size, shape, or coat characteristics and no consistent temperament type!
Dogs used for Designer Dog breeding programs tend to be of inferior quality. No reputable Poodle Breeder is going to allow their quality dogs to be used in these breeding programs.
The promise of the “perfect dog,” is shattered when you consider the probability of the designer dog only acquiring the positive attributes from its parents. You could just as easily get the worst of the two respective breeds and that could be a devastating disaster.
We ask that you please do your part to help us protect our wonderful breed, the Poodle. Please think about what wonderful attributes the pure bred Poodle will offer you.

From The Labrador Club Inc:
Labradoodles
The Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. is dedicated to the health and welfare of the Labrador Retriever breed while conserving the original breed function – that of a “working retriever.” A purebred dog offers to his owner the likelihood that he will be specific size, shape, color and temperament. The predictability of a breed comes from selection for traits that are desirable and away from traits that are undesirable. When a breed standard or type is set, the animals within that breed have less heterozygosity than do animals in a random population.
A Labradoodle is nothing more than an expensive crossbred. Because the genetic makeup is diverse from the Poodle genes and the Labrador genes, the resultant first generation (F1) offspring is a complete genetic gamble. The dog may be any size, color, coat texture and temperament. Indeed, Labradoodles do shed. Their coat may be wiry or silky and may mat. Body shape varies with parentage but tends to be lanky and narrow. Behavior varies with the dog and within a litter with some puppies poodle-like in attitude and others somewhat like the Labrador Retriever.
The Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. is opposed to cross-breeding of dogs and is particularly opposed to the deliberate crossing of Labrador Retrievers with any other breed. These crossbreds are a deliberate attempt to mislead the public with the idea that there is an advantage to these designer dogs. The crossbred dogs are prone to all of the genetic disease of both breeds and offer none of the advantages that owning a purebred dog has to offer.
