[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our friends have a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and he's great. They're about 35 - 45 pounds. Also breeders are crossing standard poodles with so many breeds now to give a hypoallergenic dog, besides goldendoodles and labradoodles.

ie. Bernese with Poodle = Bernedoodles [/quote]

Aka mutt.

I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer, my parents have a cockapoo and I love her to pieces. I am also mildly allergic to dogs, and I'm constantly rubbing all over her with no problems when I'm at their house, which is weekly.

But a XXX poo or XXX doodle is a mutt, not a recognized AKC breed, and as such OP don't fall for these "breeders" who are charging ridiculous amounts of money for "designer dogs".

I posted about the doodles because OP said she would like a mutt, but it would be hard to find....[/quote]

PP I wasn't trying to ding your post. My emphasis was on the do not fall for the "breeders" who are selling these dogs and charging out the wazoo. My parents paid $1200 for their cockapoo. That is ridiculous. As it's a mutt, there is no such things as champion bloodlines, because there is no breed standard. the places that breed these dogs are often taking advantage of the name recognition, and that people don't realize (my parents included...) that these dogs shouldn't cost an arm and a leg bc they're effectively mutts. Also, there are a lot of different ways to make up these dogs, so you're often not warrantied against health problems.[/quote]
