know what is best about each.? I grew up with springer spaniels, and won't even consider the bad things people say about them. I know they are wonderful dogs. A friend of mine has beautiful labradoodle pups. Her big dogs are very good dogs. I am getting a dog soon, and trying to decide between the two breeds. I don't want to hear from mutt-haters. I want to know what labradoodles are like, trainability, how much yours sheds, and such.
