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.

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. None of the 3 poodles and doodles listed in and around Southport is marked by its rescue as able to live with children today. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
