May I ask how many "Labradoodles" anyone has ever seen with therapy certifications? Or actively doing therapy work? Or actively being used as a guide dog? I've seen none first-hand, personally. I've heard from many other folks more heavily involved in therapy work that they have not seen them either. They're being bred and sold as pets for the most part. That's turned into the purpose of the breed, a nice pet.
I read that your dogs were used to do what they were bred for but you do realize, especially with your experience that your dogs were in the minority.
While I agree, a border collie without a job may spell disaster, many dogs of most breeds are active, happy family members....no job required.
