It wasn't that long ago that Poodle breeders were horrified when their prize breeding dog got loose and started hanging around with some other dog that was a different breed. It didn't matter if both of these dogs set the breed standard and were so well bred that they bled blue, the resulting puppies were nothing more then mutts and completely worthless to the breeder.
Poodles have become popular when creating a new type of designer dog. Everywhere you look there seems to be a dog with a Poo in its name; The Poogle (Poodle Beagle cross), the DoxiePoo (a Dushund Poodle cross), or the Jack-A-Poo (a Jack Russell Terrier and a Poodle). In some cases breeders have shunned the Poo version of the name, instead favoring the oodle instead. Popular oodle breeds are; English Boodle (an English Bulldog and Poodle cross), Labordoodles (a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle) and a St. Berdoodle (a St. Bernard and Poodle).
Many dog owners found that the mixed breed poodle puppies were considerably cheaper then the purebred versions, for many dog owners this was all the motivation they needed to try the new breed. Some of the dog owners had developed allergies and the many of the designer dogs were hypoallergenic or at the very least didn't shed.
Some dog owners had found that the company who owned their homeowners insurance policy considered the family dog a high-risk breed, by combining that breed with another breed the dog owner was able to lower their monthly house insurance payment.
In some cases the perk of the mixed Poodle breed is that they get a different type of hair coat, this is especially important if the dog lover is looking for a breed that is hypoallergenic or if they want a breed of dog that doesn't shed. An incredibly high percentage of the people who've purchased a mixed breed poodle have fallen in love with the breeding combination. The perk of a designer Poodle breed is that you normally have a dog with either a curly or wavy hair coat that comes in a variety of colors.
It was once said that knowledge and power and that hold true when it comes to bringing a new puppy into the home. Before purchasing a puppy there are many things you need to consider. Your new Poodle mix puppy is going to be a part of your family, so you want to make sure you get the right one.
Gather as much information about both breeds as possible. Puppies don't necessarily receive equal shares of the genetic pool, some pups pick up more traits from one side of the family then they do from the other. Talk to people who already own the same type of mixed breed Poodle that you are considering purchasing, ask if you can spend some time visiting with their dog. If you have concerns talk to your puppy's breeder.
The puppy's breeders will be able to tell you about how fast the puppies learn, what kind of diet is best, and the health problems they typically have to deal with. It is important to get to know the puppy's parents. Remember that if the parent's have strange personality quirks they will most likely be passed on to your puppy. Make sure you are confident with your choice of mixed breed puppy before you bringing it home.
