Ok gang, Labradoodles are a relatively newer breed as far as it's popularity. Marley is just a little 15 months, so I know he is not the oldest Doodle here. Not even close.

I don't know if it has ever been spoken about before or not but who does have the oldest Doodle. Beats me!! If ya think you are in contention for the honor, include years, month and days. It may come down to being that close.

And the oldest is??????????

does the winner have to be current?
I'm gonna have to say yes to that question. The oldest will not be known if the member does not tell us how old their Doodle is, right? And in order to do that they have to be current.

Nicky is a young doodle with an old owner! He'll be 2 on October 10. I'm one of those in the highest age bracket of the poll we had recently. Not that age matters! This morning I went to a meeting where the oldest woman there was 98 and there were several others 85 or older. They're still kicking!

I would be interested in knowing about the upper age of doodles even if they're not on the forum, since one of the reasons I chose a doodle was longevity. None of our Great Danes got past 8 years old and it was too much of a heartbreak to fall in love again with an animal who had so short a lifespan!

We have had people wanting to adopt a labradoodle now that had them before they were labradoodles. We have heard of them living to 15 yrs old. There is another lady that posts on a different forum and she has a 13 yr old GD. I went to college with a lady that had one pass away at 15. We also had a volunteer that had a 15 yr old GD, and recently adopted a labradoodle from us. So, it looks like they do have a nice long life, and none of them showed signs of old age until they were ready to go. Hope that helps. :wink:

Kelsey is 4 &11 mos. Will be 5 this October & she can run and jump like she was still a pup. No signs of aging yet. Very interesting topic though.
Nice to know we have many years to enjoy them.

It seems today we are reieving emails form those searching for the labradoodle because so many have experienced a recent loss of thier Labs. & now are researching a dog that will be non shedding.

Most say their labs were only 7 or 8 ..yikes
Isn't this young? and why do you think so many are dieing at young ages?
Is it the over breeding of the lab that is lending to unhealthy litter lines, is it diet related lack of exercise? Over weight issues? combination of all?

Whatever the cause we are hearing this from people all the time as they find us and email us their plights of their recent losses.

We exercise our dogs twice a day out front with the ball throwing. They love it and get plenty of running in which tires them and makes them relax better when indoors. Hopfully this will lead to a healthy long lived ball chasing life :lol:
