Poodle mixes, often called "doodles," are hybrid dogs created by crossing a Poodle with another dog breed. These mixes can vary in size, coat type, and temperament, depending on the other breed involved. Common poodle mixes include the Goldendoodle (Poodle and Golden Retriever) and the Labradoodle (Poodle and Labrador Retriever). One of the main attractions of poodle mixes is their often low-shedding coats, which can be beneficial for allergy sufferers. Additionally, they tend to inherit the intelligence and trainability of the Poodle, making them popular choices for families and individuals alike.
