What poodles and doodles are like to live with
This guide covers Poodles and Poodle crosses such as Cockapoos, Cavapoos and Labradoodles. The Royal Kennel Club describes the Poodle as a "glamorous, intelligent breed descended from European duck hunters". It says the breed was developed in Germany as a water retriever, and that the famous trim was practical, not just for show: the hindquarters were clipped to help the dog swim, and bands of hair left on the joints and tail tip for protection from cold.

Where can I adopt a poodle or doodle in Brighton and Hove?
With the rescue that has the dog. Today the poodles and doodles on this page are with Holbrook Animal Rescue (2), Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare (1) and The Kit Wilson Trust (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
Do Poodles shed?
The Royal Kennel Club lists all three Poodle sizes as not shedding, though the coat needs grooming every day. It publishes no such listing for Cockapoos, Cavapoos or Labradoodles, which are not on its breed A to Z. Battersea says Cockapoo shedding varies from very little to noticeable, so ask the rescue about a particular cross.
Are Cockapoos and other Poodle crosses hypoallergenic?
Not reliably. Battersea says Cockapoos are "not hypoallergenic as coat type varies a lot and no dog is fully allergy-friendly". If someone in your home has allergies, ask the rescue whether you can spend time with the dog before you commit.
Are poodles and doodles good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 3 of the 4 poodles and doodles listed in and around Brighton and Hove as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
