Labradoodle creator says introducing the dog is his 'life's regret' 'I opened a Pandora's box and released a Frankenstein monster'
The original breeder of the popular crossbreed Labradoodle says he regrets creating the breed – and the craze around it that followed – which he now calls"a Frankenstein monster."
Conron struggled to find the right poodle to breed with one of his Labradors, but eventually he settled on his boss' poodle after other pure breeders scoffed at the idea of breeding a mix. "It was a gimmick. They were a crossbreed, nobody wanted them, but everybody wanted a Labradoodle. Same dog, different name," he told ABC News.
While Labradoodles are not recognized as an official breed by the American Kennel Club, Brandi Hunter, the group's vice president of public relations and communications, says they and other"designer breeds" can be"loveable companions."
