Poodles are inherently a very intelligent dog breed with a great disposition. Mix a Poodle with other breeds and you will still get a great dog that can provide you with many years of enjoyment and good times. The popularity of the poodle has been increasing over the years as people have gotten past the fluffy fur haircuts and distinguished walk.
Poodle mix breeds are common as you will recognize the designer breeds listed below. Poodles do not shed, but they will need regular Grooming. Many would be owners are turned off by the fluffy poodle cut that is forever tied to the breed. However, Grooming is necessary to keep the dog healthy and free of mats. A well groomed poodle mix is no different. Most likely, if the Puppy has some poodle in it’s lineage, it will need to be groomed regularly as the fur will grow out of control.
Poodle
There are three sizes of poodle; Standard, miniature and toy. Each one exhibits similar character traits regardless of size, but all are well known for the demeanor and lovable personality.
People have come to realize the benefits of poodles in that they are very smart, protective and essentially a great family pet. As the breed has become more popular, the opportunity to breed them with other dogs has also given way to hybrid mixes that still inherit their best character traits. In addition, the novelty of trying to come up with the various combinations of names based on the designer breed mix, is also a popular past time and can also be a marketing tactic to set it apart from other less creative breed names.
Labradoodle… A Labrador Retriever. In addition, the dog may prefer more outdoor activities which is a plus for those who like to hunt or camp.
Cockapoo – A Cocker Spaniel combined with a poodle is a smaller breed with a big dog personality. Feisty, yet lovable, these dogs have a great personality but can be a bit temperamental.
Peekapoo – Pekinese and a poodle mix is on the smaller side and generally a lap dog. This is a very good dog for mature adults who want to baby their pooch with special attention. These dogs will eat it all up.
These are a just very small sample of designer breeds that you can find on the internet. There are many more combinations that you will come across in your search. When looking for your new friend, it is always important to do your research for the best characteristics and temperament. In any case, even if you have wanted a dog for the longest time, your search for that special poodle mix needs to be sound in approach as many “quick buck breeders” are willing and able to sell you a dog from their Puppy mill type farms.
Even though the pictures are cute and the pages are full of lovable, cuddly marketing schmooze tugging at your heart strings, always make sure you know who you are purchasing from. Before you pick up the phone or send the e-mail to inquire more about the dog, you may want to make sure you are not looking at a puppy mill breeder. Selecting the right breeder or rescue will go a long way in making your new puppy decision the best one.
