There is a surprising new trend rocking the dog world, the trend is called designer dogs. Some people might think that with a name like designer dogs the animals are the crme-of the-crme, the most perfect example of a dog that can be found, this assumption would be wrong. A designer dog is actually the combination of at least two different breeds of dogs, resulting in the creation of a whole new breed.

The reason dog breeders had this attitude was not only had they lost out on a breeding season but they knew they would never be able to sell the mixed breed Poodle puppies, the best the breeder could hope for was that they could give the puppies away. Those days are in the past.

Today the mixed breed poodle puppies are no longer called mutts; in today’s canine world the mixed breed puppies are given the illustrious title of designer dogs. Dog lovers can’t seem to get enough of these mixed breed dogs. Popular mixed breeds of Poodles include the Weimardoodle (a Weimaraner Poodle cross), the Shepadoodle (a German Shepard and Poodle) and the Lhasa Poo (a Lhasa Apso and Poodle).

There are a variety of reasons dog owners are now seeking out designer dogs. The combination of two different breeds has been shown to help cut back on genetic health issues typically associated with one breed. Other dog owners prefer the crossbred breeds because they have found that combining a dog breed that is traditionally known for its high strung disposition with a breed that is traditionally laid back, they get a dog that is active enough to be fun but not so hyper it’s difficult to handle.

In some cases the perk of the mixed Poodle breed is that they get a different type of hair coat, this is especially important if the dog lover is looking for a breed that is hypoallergenic or if they want a breed of dog that doesn’t shed. An incredibly high percentage of the people who’ve purchased a mixed breed poodle have fallen in love with the breeding combination. The perk of a designer Poodle breed is that you normally have a dog with either a curly or wavy hair coat that comes in a variety of colors.

Purchasing a Poodle mix puppy is not an event that should be entered into lightly. This puppy will grow up and become a part of your family, its critical you get one that’s right for you. Try to find somebody in your neighbor hood that already owns a dog that has a similar breeding to what you are considering getting.

Ask what their experiences with the dog have been. See if you can spend some time with the dog, while visiting with the mixed breed poodle try to imagine it in your home. Invest some time researching both breeds. Some puppies bear a stronger resemblance to one of the breeds than it will to the other breed

The puppy’s breeders will be able to tell you about how fast the puppies learn, what kind of diet is best, and the health problems they typically have to deal with. It is important to get to know the puppy’s parents. Remember that if the parent’s have strange personality quirks they will most likely be passed on to your puppy. Make sure you are confident with your choice of mixed breed puppy before you bringing it home.
