I don't have a labradoodle but I do have a different mixed breed. My 1 year old springer spaniel/ border collie mix is Astra. Shes excellent. We adopted her from a shelter that I volunteer at. She gets along great with our other dog, Pippin though she is the dominant dog of the house. She can be a bit naughty at times. Astra finds it wonderful to steal food of the counter so we have to be very careful not to leave any food on the counter that she could jump up and reach. Overall though, shes just a great dog. I love her so much. Who says a dog has to be purebred to be great?
