[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family wants a dog, and I am somewhat resistant because I know I will end up doing most of the work. I think dogs are cute but did not grow up with them (we had cats), and I know that puppies are like newborns, which is a little terrifying.

I have spent so much time researching dog breeds, and IF we decide to move forward with a dog, I think I have settled on wanting it to be a cavapoo. I like their size, lack of shedding, they are adorable, and everything I read points out a sweet and laid back disposition.[b] I do not want a hyper or anxious dog. [/b]

If you have a cavapoo, please tell me about your experience and be super honest - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I haven’t given in yet. :)

And yet you are wanting a poodle mix? First, a cavapoo is a designer mix -- there is no breed standard, and breeding is all about making $$. So the pup's temperament really could be anything. Second, poodle mixes are often hyper and anxious because the poodles they are using to breed designer mixes are often hyper and anxious. My dog was the poodle part of the mix at a puppy mill marketing mainly malti-poos. She's quite anxious (and, given the dna test, not all poodle -- there's maltese and bichon in her as well).

If you want sweet and calm, find a reputable cavalier kc breeder. If you want smart and playful and hypoallergenic, find a good mini poodle or toy poodle breeder. [/quote]
