Hi Jana,
I haven't heard how they are as guides but I did hear recently that the school
in Australia that started training them no longer does. I know they have to be
bred for several generations before they quit shedding, and like poodles, they
need to be kept trimmed. I can tell you that a standard poodle's work is
excellent, they kind of work like shepherds minus the pull. Since you're
thinking of a labradoodle which would have the same grooming costs anyway, you
might just want to go for a standard. Good luck.
Pam
