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 Leicester?

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the poodles and doodles on this page are with East Midlands Dog Rescue (3), Ashbourne Animal Welfare (1) and Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue (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. Most of the 5 poodles and doodles listed in and around Leicester today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

How much does it cost to adopt a poodle or doodle in Leicester?

The poodles and doodles listed in and around Leicester today are with East Midlands Dog Rescue at Enderby, about 4 miles away (3), Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue at Coalville, about 11 miles away (1) and Ashbourne Animal Welfare at Ashbourne, about 36 miles away (1); each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there Cockapoo or doodle puppies for sale in Leicester?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every poodle or doodle on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 5 poodles and doodles listed in and around Leicester today are with East Midlands Dog Rescue at Enderby, about 4 miles away (3), Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue at Coalville, about 11 miles away (1) and Ashbourne Animal Welfare at Ashbourne, about 36 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. If you searched "cockapoo puppies for sale Leicester", the poodles and doodles here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free poodle or doodle to a good home in Leicester, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 5 poodles and doodles listed in and around Leicester today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is East Midlands Dog Rescue at Enderby, about 4 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. 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.
