I disagree with the whole designer dog thing, too...but, isn't this how almost all breeds started out? Breeding two different types of dogs for enough years to eventually consistently and predictably get the same puppies with the desired characteristics? It makes sense that if they keep breeding these dogs, that eventually you would be able to breed a labradoodle to a labradoodle and get labradoodles. I just hate the stupid names they make up for them. It's dumbing it down for people so that they know what they're getting. Ugh. I mean, if they're really trying to come up with a new, long lasting breed with future hopes that it will be recognized, why not just come up with a completely new name? Anyway...it's a cycle that will always always be moving...unfortunately.
