[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best advise - Go to an animal shelter.  They'll have a lot of mixed breed "poos" to choose from.  You don't need a designer dog.  Shelter dogs make the best pets![/quote]

Not the OP but we tried this route and it didn't work for us. We wanted a puppy because my youngest was only four and I didn't want to bring a dog with an unknown past into the house. I went no fewer than five times to the local shelter (WARL) looking for a non-shedding breed puppy. However, every single time I went all of the puppies had already been claimed with a long list of other interested parties if the first family's adoption wasn't approved. I didn't want to wait forever so we did go with a breeder.

As to OP's initial question, I've met many of these "breeds" and there isn't a ton of difference among them other than size -- they tend to be friendly and good family dogs. A larger dog will be harder for kids to walk and also will cost more to groom -- not an inconsequential consideration considering how much I've had to spend on my standard goldendoodle's grooming.

Whatever breed you get, buy from a reputable breeder--pay now or pay later (genetic problems = vet bills) A great breeder really cares and puts a lot of thought and effort into the puppies. Not cheap, however. 
Dogs from the shelter often have behavorial problems. +1 on the cost of grooming larger dog, also greater cost to board.[/quote]
