Contrary to popular belief, breeding a dog with a poodle does not make them hypoallergenic. (For starters, there is no such thing as a 'hypoallergenic' dog.) Labradoodles have been around for a long time and are a much more established experiement in other places, like Australia. It takes many generations of selective breeding to achieve dogs that are less likely to trigger allergies. It's not something that is accomplished with a first generation breeding.
