Doodle

The breed

“Doodle” is a broad name used for dogs created by crossing a Poodle with another breed, such as a Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, or Bernese Mountain Dog. Their appearance varies widely depending on the parent breeds. Many have soft, wavy or curly coats, floppy ears, expressive eyes, and a sturdy but often athletic build. Coat colors can include cream, black, brown, apricot, gray, or mixed patterns.

Doodles are generally known for being social, bright, and people-oriented. Many are playful and affectionate, with an eager, alert expression and an energetic personality. Temperament can differ from one type of Doodle to another, but they often combine the Poodle’s intelligence with the friendliness or steadiness of their other parent breed.
