This can also be the product of a stupid breeder selecting dogs with bad traits, and not the fault of the breed.

Labradoodles have a significant higher prevalence with this kind of problems. It's the breed. Common problems are allergies, problems with their joints (e.g. hip dysplasia) and problems with their eyes (PRA).

That said: AFAIK aggressiveness is not a typical problem with Labradoodles. Typical behavioural problems are hyperactivity and separation anxiety. Excessive barking can be an expression of both of these problems 🫣

The behavioural problems @[email protected] mentioned seem to me like problems caused by humans. No offence! It's just an opinion from some random internet dude.

Had to put mine down because of untreatable worsening epilepsy.

Also their coat is a problem. Having a mix of hair that falls out/does not fall out creates a matting/tangling issue. Ended up just keeping it shaved.

Otherwise it was a very well behaved dog, but never again.
