[quote=Anonymous]The grooming is pretty intense to do properly (full brushing to the skin every day to prevent mats) which is why so many are shaved.

The issue with doodles is that no high quality breeder is going to sell their poodle (or the other half of the mix) to a person who wants to create doodles. That means you are starting with lower quality breeding stock to begin with. Likely no health testing was done on the prior generation, almost certainly no health testing was done on the current generation. I would not buy one for that reason (and I'm not anti-purchasing a healthy dog! I own 1 rescue and 2 purchased dogs)

But if you're going to rescue anyway, the health reality is the same for nearly any dog in a shelter or rescue, so that doesn't really differentiate.

I tell all my clients who want to rescue that they should choose a specific dog, not a specific breed or mix. The standardization isn't there in non-responsibly bred dogs, so just because you're adopting a ______ doesn't mean it will behave like ______.[/quote]
