so many doodles end up in rescue because they are so over bred now. |
I think they end up in rescues because they aren't what they are advertised to be such as guaranteed hypoallergenic and as a groomer you know what a coat from h*** is like. Labradoodle, goldendoodles are nightmares usually to groom.
I still don't understand why people who want a nice service dog don't just get a standard poodle. From the right breeder and chosen for what it is wanted for, it will work out fine. Unless the person is allergic to dog dander, then it won't work. A reputable poodle breeder will tell them that.
Also, a standard poodle breeder told me standard poodles also shed to some extent. It has been many many years since I have groomed larger breeds of dogs so I don't remember now but know they were nice dogs to handle for the most part.
