Doodle Dogs!Author: Inception Point AI
"Doodle dogs" refer to a category of dogs that have been cross-bred with Poodles, typically to produce dogs with Poodle-like coats but different sizes, shapes, and personalities than purebred Poodles. Some of the most popular doodle dogs include Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Bernedoodles, and more. The Origin of Doodle Dogs The first purposefully bred doodle dog is believed to be the Labradoodle, which came about in the 1970s and 80s. An Australian breeder named Wally Conron was tasked with training a guide dog for a woman in Hawaii whose husband was allergic to dogs. Knowing that Poodle fur is largely hypoallergenic, Wally decided to cross a Labrador Retriever with a Standard Poodle. The resulting litter produced several puppies that grew into excellent guide dogs and also did not shed. Seeing early success with his Labradoodle cross, Wally made a few more intentional Labradoodle litters. Word soon spread about this new hybrid dog breed, and their popularity took off. Other breeders took notice and began experimenting with their own Poodle crosses, leading to all sorts of doodle dogs like Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, Aussiedoodles and more. Why Cross Poodles With Other Breeds? There are a few key reasons breeders create doodle dogs by breeding Poodles with other purebreds: - To attempt to produce puppies with the desired hypoallergenic coat qualities of the Poodle. This allows more people with allergies to own dogs. - To attain hybrid vigor - or stronger health and genetics - than purebred dogs prone to genetic issues. Mixing two purebreds can increase the gene pool. - For their often desirable fun-loving and intelligent personalities when crossed with breeds like Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers. - For their cute appearances, often attaining a teddy bear or muppet-like look. While results can vary in any litter, responsible doodle dog breeders aim to produce healthy, happy pups with the best qualities of both parent breeds.
