I know someone in the Philippines who has an Australian Labradoodle. Now that I understand what that term actually means, I can absolutely see them someday becoming their own officially recognized breed. They are nicely proportioned and very much have their own distinct look, like a sturdy spaniel.
Very unlike the ones I see around here.

Do you have some example photos, or a good link?

He's a very cute boy:

EDITED TO REMOVE LINK. I don't really want my friend's dog dissected here.

^^^^ Yikes. I feel bad for the puppies already.

@ PeggyThe Parti ... whatever that dog is it doesn't look like a poodle at all. Its really supposed to be an Australian Labradoodle?

@ Dianaleez ... No one with a well bred poodle will agree to such a thing, so there goes some more inferior lineage mixed in with unknown health and genetic problems. Cringe

Yep, he's an Australian Labradoodle, of which poodle DNA is just a small part.

From a link shared earlier in this thread:

"Australian Labradoodles are very different and distinct from the standard or early generation Labradoodles. Unlike Labradoodles, Australian Labradoodles’ lineage is more complicated. An Australian Labradoodle also has DNA from other dogs. They have six different parent breeds: Labrador, Poodle, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, Curly Coat Retriever, and Irish Water Spaniels. Standard or early generation Labradoodles are solely cross between a Labrador and a Poodle."

Here is my 1 year old Standard Poodle.

And his natural tail, which needs to be brushed again....

Hopefully this answers your question about the tail and points out some "poodley" facial featured.

Edit; his tail hair is about 8 inches long currently.

I've noticed a lot of the golden/labradoodles have strange rear structure and look like they have weak rears. Which makes it look like they have little rear drive in their gait. But it may just be impacted by early neutering or the frequency of hip dysplasia. They walk like a heavy dog. Poodles should walk like they are very well supported. Effortless and springy. Misha mesmerizes people when he walks. He exudes pure joy.

That's precisely how my Sasha is, and he looks almost the same.

I’ve seen a crazy number of poodles (mixes?) on my walks the last few days, and I’ve realized that I honestly can’t tell what’s a purebred poodle and what’s a doodle. You guys have a couple threads complaining about people like me, so I decided to ask for good ways to know if a dog is a doodle or a purebred, because grooming doesn’t always tell you!

Do poodle tails, when undocked and not groomed short, have feathers like a golden retriever’s tail? I’ve always assumed poodle hair was more puffy, not feather-like. The feathers are usually what I look for to say, “Oh, that’s a doodle.” But then I realized that that may not be accurate.

Any other physical tips to know if a dog is a doodle or purebred?

I have an F1b Goldendoodle (my son's dog) and an 8-month-old Standard Poodle, and the difference is like comparing a T-Rex to a gazelle! The Goldendoodle is our lovable T-Rex, full of energy and enthusiasm, while the Poodle is our elegant gazelle, graceful and refined. The contrast couldn’t be more perfect!

I'd like to weigh in. I currently have 3 doodles (my parents believed they were ethical at the time but we've since learned and personally I'm going the poodle route going forward)

2 are family pets while the 3rd is my baby girl. I can post a handful of pictures of her from adolescents to currently. If yall are interested in that. Here's her embark DNA test though: Persephone’s Embark Dog DNA Results
