![]() Typical Doodles are a cross of a Poodle with for example a Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever or Australian Shepherd. Poodles – whether Standard, Miniature or Toy – are no couch potatoes. They are keen problem solvers and very smart in figuring out solutions. Their webbed feet, curly coat and athletic stamina equip them perfectly for swimming. They were bred to tirelessly assist in bringing ducks to their owners. Instead, Poodles themselves were actually originally developed to – you guessed it – work. We should not think of Poodles as intricately groomed show dogs that cannot do much more than prance around the ring with an elaborate hairdo. The common denominator between all Doodles is the Poodle in their pedigree. Over the last two decades, the demand for Doodles regulated the breeding – more and more dog owners have been looking for Poodle crosses, so breeders produced more and more. There is no set breed standard for any Doodle cross. A Schnauzer crossed with a Poodle is a Schnoodle, and so on.ĭoodles are not recognized with the AKC as a dog breed. A Boxer crossed with a Poodle is a Boxerdoodle. The suffix -doodle is added to any breed that is crossed with a Poodle.Ī Labrador crossed with a Poodle is a Labradoodle. If breeders are now developing family dog breeds that are cute, easy-going, have a good temperament and of course are healthy, then we are simply adapting the purpose we are breeding for.Ī Doodle is any kind of mixed-breed dog that has a Poodle in his ancestors. We are doing exactly what our ancestors did when they paired the working dogs they liked most to have offspring that would be of good working quality. And we also breed a lot of dogs to be – family dogs. We breed slender, ultra-fast, tight-turning mixes for flyball and disc dog. Nowadays many dogs are bred for purposes that are not the original one anymore. The meaning of “purpose-bred” has changed. Not a lot of pet Rhodesian Ridgebacks go on lion hunting safaris to Africa. My own Border Collies have never once herded sheep. The times of dogs working tirelessly for us however are over, and the majority of Poodles probably do not go duck-hunting on a weekly basis anymore. Most of them were created to work for us, and some of them to just be cute. I don’t agree with that – give me all the Doodles!Įvery breed originally was developed for some kind of purpose. It is claimed that by intentionally producing mixed-breed dogs, the purpose of the breeds is destroyed. If someone dropped a Doodle puppy on my doorstep, I would not say no.ĭoodles however have gotten a bit of a bad reputation in many purebred-dog circles. I love the way they play together and how hard they try to do well in training. I love their spirit, their energy, their drive, their goofiness, the way that they flop around with limbs just a little bit too long to look coordinated.
