===Breeding line issues===

Others are breeding labradoodle to labradoodle over successive generations, and trying to establish a new dog breed. These dogs are usually referred to as ''multigenerational'' (multigen) labradoodles or multigeneration Australian labradoodles.<ref name=Hot-Dogs-2007/><ref name=Goldendoodles-Aus-Labradoodle/> 

===Australian labradoodle breeding programme===
Australian labradoodles also differ from labradoodles in general, in that they may also have other breeds in their ancestry. English and American [[cocker spaniel]] × [[poodle]] crosses (i.e. [[cockapoo]]s). Two [[Irish water spaniel]]s and [[soft-coated Wheaten Terrier]]s were used in some Australian labradoodle lines. [[Curly Coated Retriever]]s were used too, but these lines were unsatisfactory and are no longer used for breeding. Disagreements within the programme have led to some groups continuing with different lines as in the case of the [[Australian Cobberdog]].<ref name=goldendoodles-faq/>

===Coat texture and color===
Labradoodle coats are divided into three categories: wool, fleece, or hair.<ref name=coats group=lower-alpha/><ref name=Hot-Dogs-2007/>

Labradoodles' coat colors include chocolate, cafe, parchment, cream, gold, apricot, red, black, silver, chalk, lavender, and blue-ish gray. Coat patterns can be solid, white abstract markings, parti, phantom, or tri-coloured.<ref name=IALA-2007/>

===Size===
Labradoodles can be different sizes, depending on the size of sire and dam used, and their size-names generally follow the names used for poodles: miniature, medium, and standard. Miniature labradoodles typically weigh around 18-28 lbs, medium around 26-45 pounds and standard can be from 45-75 lbs.<ref name=Hot-Dogs-2007/>
