A. Doodle dogs referred to acategory of dogs that have been crossbred with
poodles, typically to produce dogs withpoodle like coats but different sizes, shapes,
and personalities than pure bred poodles.Some of the most popular doodle dogs
include Golden doodles, labradoodles, burndoodles, and more. The origin of
doodle dogs the first purposefully bred doodledog is believed to be the labradoodle,
(00:22):
which came about in the nineteen seventiesand eighties. An Australian breeder named Wally
Conrad was tasked with training a guidedog for a woman in Hawaii whose husband
was allergic to dogs. Knowing thatpoodle fur is largely hypoallergenic, Wally decided
to cross a Labrador Retriever with astandard poodle. The resulting litter produced several
puppies that grew into excellent guide dogsand also did not shed. Seeing early
(00:46):
success with his labradoodle cross, Wallymade a few more intentional labradoodle litters.
Words soon spread about this new hybriddog breed, and their popularity took off.
Other breeders took notice and began experimentingwith their own poodle cross leading to
all sorts of doodle dogs like goldendoodles, burned doodles, ausseidoodles, and
more. Why cross poodles with otherbreeds, There are a few key reasons.
(01:08):
Breeders create doodle dogs by breeding poodleswith other purebreads to attempt to produce
puppies with the desired hypoallergenic coat qualitiesof the poodle. This allows more people
with allergies to own dogs to attainhybrid vigor or stronger health and genetics than
pure bred dogs prone to genetic issues. Mixing too purebreads can increase the gene
(01:32):
pool for their often desirable, fun, loving and intelligent personalities when crossed with
breeds like Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrieversfor their cute appearances, often attaining a
Teddy bear or muppet like look.While results can vary in any litter,
responsible doodle dog breeders aim to producehealthy, happy pups with the best qualities
(01:53):
of both parent breeds. Popular typesof doodle dogs There are many types of
poodle hybrids or doodles. Some ofthe most popular include golden doodles, a
cross between a Golden Retriever and apoodle. Golden Doodles were likely first intentionally

Regular grooming maintains their silky, lowshed coat. Doodle coat and shedding
qualities. One of the main reasonsdoodle dogs grew in popularities for their potential
to have the hypoallergenic, low ornon shedding poodle coat instead of the shedding
fur of breeds like Golden Retrievers orGerman Shepherds, but having half their genes
(05:54):
come from another breed means their coatqualities can be unpredictable. How much a
doodle sheds or the texture of theircoat depends mainly on the genetics inherited and
does not differ significantly between the typesof doodles. Generally, first generation doodles
f one with one pure bred poodleparent and one pure bred non poodle parent
have higher coat variation. Some willshed minimally, while others shed moderately.
(06:18):
Back crossing a doodle over multiple generationswith non shedding lines can produce more consistently
non shedding puppies. No dog iscompletely non shedding, and some people's allergies
are too sensitive for even low sheddogs, but responsibly bread doodle dogs have
relatively higher chances of producing puppies tolerantfor mild allergies than heavily shedding dogs like
(06:40):
labradors or German shepherds. Grooming needsdepending on their coat type. Most doodle
dogs need regular brushing and professional groomingevery six twelve weeks. Shorter, scruffier
coats only need occasional brushing to preventmats. Longer, curly coats require thorough
brushing multiple times a week, plusscissoring cuts if hair around eyes or sanitary
(07:01):
areas grow too long. Neglecting groomingwith longer coats leads to painful mats pulling
at the skin. Many doodle ownerschoose shorter puppy cuts or shaved bodies with
puffy heads. To simplify home upkeep, Learning to brush properly and handling feet,
ears, and faces from a youngage makes grooming less stressful. Owners
(07:21):
can also ask groomers to leave faceand tail hair longer while shaving the body
shorter. Finding an experienced groomer youand your doodle trust is key to easier
long term care. Training and exerciseneeds coming from backgrounds of poodles, retrievers,
and herders, doodle dogs often excelat training and desire plenty of daily
(07:42):
activity. Most types of doodles arehighly intelligent and food motivated, making treat
based positive reinforcement training ideal. Startingbasic obedience early and socializing thoroughly gives doodle
pups the best foundation for exemplary manners. Since doodles have energy from spaniels,
shepherds, Schnauzers or terriers bred inover generations, most need upwards of sixty
(08:07):
plus minutes of hard exercise. Dailyactivities like running, hiking, playing fetch,
or intense games with other dogs helpthem thrive mentally. Tiring them out
with scent games, trick training classes, or food puzzles also wears them out.

and toileting accidents. Ensuring doodles meettheir needs makes coexisting with them far
(08:28):
