Doggadoodles.....

My friend Robert and his lady Linda are adopting a labradoodle.
I love the names of these hybrid dogs.



The Poogle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Beagle and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.


Labradoodle....Here's the definition of a Labradoodle...



Labradoodle (American Labradoodle) (Standard Labradoodle)
Labrador Retriever / Poodle Hybrid

Some of the other names for these cross breeds are hilarious!

How about Cojack - a jack russell terrior and a Welsh corgi

Or a Daniff - Great Dane and Mastiff!


Eskapoo - Eskimo dog and poodle mix

Or what about The Giant Schnoodle. It is a cross between the Giant Schnauzer and the Standard Poodle.


The Shepadoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the German Shepherd and the Standard Poodle.



The configuration of these cross-breeds is endless....

Some people like hybrid cars, others hybrid dogs.

Or Designer Dogs.

And these mixed breeds are not inexpensive, with many costing thousands of dollars!

It's a whole new world for puppies! And a whole new vocabulary for dog-owners.
