I'm sitting on the fence with regards to that.
The average North American labradoodle is a mutt.
But . . . the are a group of people based in Austraila who have developed a standard, are breeding to accomplish that standard, and are a working towards having the Australia National Kennel Club fully recognize the Labradoodle as a pure breed. (

Despite the stupid name, the dogs are being developed in the same fashion most recognized breeds were developed.
Personally, I'd consider importing a Labradoodle from Australia that was bred by an LAA member, was the offspring of Labradoodles, and closely resembled the standard that the LAA has established.
