Introducing A Mixed Breed Poodle Into The Home

Dog lovers are turning away from the once favored purebred dogs in favor of mixed breeds. Most of these mixed breed dogs are designer dogs. In the not so distant past these dogs would have been called mutts and shunned, but in today's world dog owners can't seem to get enough of these mixed breeds. One of the more common designer dogs being sought out are mixed breed that includes the Poodle as part of its background. Some of these mixed Poodle breeds probably started out as a mistake but as interest in the breed combination grew, dog breeders started deliberately mixing the gene pool.

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.

Another owner might tell you that they decided to purchase the mixed breed puppy because of its hair coat, the hybrid dog didn't shed or maybe they weren't allergic to it. Some owners like the idea that by combining two breeds of dogs, the Poodle and something else, they were able to get the best of both breeds' temperaments.

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.

If you have never before owned a Poodle mix there are something's you should consider before rushing to the nearest breeder and bringing home a puppy. The first is to really thing about the types of breeds involved in the breeding. Every single breed of dog has some wonderful characteristics, just like every single breed of dog has some traits that aren't so desirable.

Ask what their experiences with the dog have been. See if you can spend some time with the dog, while visiting with the mixed breed poodle try to imagine it in your home. Invest some time researching both breeds. Some puppies bear a stronger resemblance to one of the breeds than it will to the other breed

Spend time with both of the puppies' parents, a parent with quirky personality will normally have a puppy who shares the same personality. Be confident, if you have any doubts at all don't bring the puppy home, wait until you find the dog that best suits you and your family's lifestyle.
