Labradoodle Creator calls the dog breed his "regret for life"; Wally Conron Compares Labradoodles to "Frankenstein Monster"

You can love your adorable labradoodle for pets, but the creator of the crossing compared the dog to the "Frankenstein monster". On a recent Australian podcast, he described the creation as "regret for his life".

Wally Conron, 90, was working for Guide Dogs Victoria when he went through a poodle in Labrador in 1989. He added that the trend of dog breeds of designers has a multitude of puppies in poor health.

"I opened a Pandora box and released a Frankenstein monster," Conron told a podcast of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation last week.

He said that his "great regret" is that his creation has led to breeders "unethical, pitiless" who do not consider the health of puppies.

Conron stated that healthy labradoodles were "rare and spaced", with most animals having hereditary problems. Similar health problems have been a concern among other blends, such as cockapoos and puggles.

"Why do people raise them today, I do not have a clue," said Conron.

Crosses can lead to increased health problems in dogs, especially when breeders give more importance to money than to the care of the animal. According to Conron, the trend has gone too far.

The very first labradoodle was raised as a blind dog for a blind woman in Hawaii whose husband was allergic to dog hair, said Conron. He thought of using a poodle because their coats did not fall. None of the 33 standard poodles he found had been successful as guide dogs, which led Conron to mingle one with a Labrador retriever.

The result was a litter of three, one of which was sent to the woman in Hawaii. Labradoodles quickly became popular in Australia after the announcement of the spread of the remaining puppies.

"I realized what I had done in a few days," he said. "I went to see our big boss at the time and I told him:" Look, I've created a monster, we have to do something to control it. "

But the damage was done. "Designer dogs" are being sold for thousands of dollars these days, and some unethical breeders are eager to pump more puppies, no matter what their health problems are.

"I did a lot of damage," Conron told the Associated Press in 2014. "I've created a lot of problems."
