Every other dog where I live is a doodle!

Today I saw a labradoodle, a cockapoo, a goldadoodke and a bernadoodle. Plus one standard poodle.

Why? Is it just allergies?

Hmm, funny. No.

I have a northern breed sled dog and can't tell any of the curly ones apart. I do see a lot of them where I live. It's a fad, OP: people believe they're hypoallergenic, see they're cute, and just want what everyone else has.

We stumbled into a bernedoodle 15 years ago (RIP) for $200 on craigslist. At the time, I thought it was just a woopsie. Then I find out several years later that people are getting $2000 for these things.

It really was a great dog, though. And it was hypoallergenic and didn't shed.

I wouldn't give 4 figures for a dog, though, unless its job was saving the life of someone I loved.

They're hair rather than fur which generally is less allergen (whatever the phrasing is - you know what I mean), they minimally shed (though most have to be brushed daily to avoid knots), they're generally friendly, good with kids, easy to train, they're cute.

We have a designer dog. Its is no shed. Why not? We paid about $1500 and the resalers/rescuses wanted $800 or more so we'd prefer a puppy and knowing the background.

People do pay that much because they don't want to support backyard breeders like the one you gave money to.

There's a sucker born every minute, I guess. It's not like I bought it from an Amish feedlot. I bought it from a family, only litter of pups in the house, etc., etc. Ticked all the feel-good boxes.

But don’t have they have to be bathed a lot? That poster on another thread seemed to say the doodles she watched got stinky quickly.

My dog sheds a lot, but I don’t have to bathe her much at all.

Doodles are cute though, I’ll admit. Are they smart?

PP here who had the bernedoodle: Gorgeous, sweet, dumb.

Bathed a handful of times per year. Also did two haircuts a year. Took it all the way down in the spring and the fall.

Yeah, yeah. I know some of you are clutching your pearls.

Are you a designer breeder or something? There is someone who comes on here occasionally and posts all this hocus pocus gobbledy gook about ‘proper’ and ‘ethical’ breeders and justifies why regular families should pay thousands for a family pet. Please

Why, you ask? It’s because the elementary age kids are endlessly begging mom and dad for a dog and the mother of the gets palpitations at the idea of having dog hair appear anywhere in the house.

It’s really that simple.

It’s why you see Malti-poos and Yorkie-poos — which weigh 4 pounds — instead of Maltese and Yorkshire terrier dogs AND you see giant Burna doodles and golden doodles that way 100 pounds instead of golden retrievers and Bernie’s mountain dogs. All on the same block in North Arlington or Ward three

All the moms are just trying to avoid vacuuming between housekeeping visits
