Awwwww, I want one of these

[Mrs Fish]

Just watching Richard and Judy and they are on about dogs at the moment, more specifically cross breeds. Mainly dogs crossed with poodles. Never heard of them before but a quick google search brings up loads of pictures of these, a labradoodle




You can also get cockerpoo's.

Apparently they are becoming very fashionable.

[kerfuffle]

I hope I don't spoil my manly image by saying this, but they are kinda cute

Do they do a chihuhuaweiler?

[Yugguy]

Yeah. I'm sure the Dogs Trust loves yet another wave of trendy dogs.

[eccles]

mmmm, potpoodle!

[JustTheTip]

Labradoodles were bred for blind people that are allergic to dog fur (poodles have hair rather than fur, apparently).

Don't ask me where I picked up that usefull nugget of info!

[Mrs Fish]

They have been around quite a while apparently, I know what you are saying though, that fashion will overtake sensibilities.

Yep, thats what they were saying. Also poodles don't molt

That;s unless they suffer from labradoodle pattern baldness.

Did they mention the cost?

A friend bought one last week. £500 a pop........FFS its not even a pedigree........and he said that was the best they could find, others wanted £650+

They might eb quite useful.

Allot of people are allergic to dog fur but don't like the look of poodles.

[kerfuffle]

I didn't realise dogs were expensive until I started looking for a basset recently. I think I'll pinch one instead, though the quick getaway may prove problematic.

[r988]

Apparently my uncle & aunt have bought one to replace their old dog that died, apparently they are really big.

Either way I hate dogs and hope I never have to see it, that fact it its now some sort of fashion accessory makes it twice as vile IMO

[benyeats]

I had a friend who crossed a bulldog with a shitzu......

Ahhhhhhh so cute.

My wife and No2 son have allergies to pet fur. We looked into dogs that don't malt and the cost of things like Irish terriers etc is about £650 a pop

I read that, too (well, not the reference to being blind!). I guess they have the kind nature of a Labrador while being low to non-shedding which is excellent for those who suffer from allergies.

[speedychrissie]

graham norton has a labradoodle (well thats what he said on just a minute last week)

I always wondered what was under the lab coats

I bet you looked for a pic of a Cockerpoo but your safe search didn't give you any hits
