I will have to revise my answer after considering what Trixie posted. There are certain mixed breeds that I do like, only because mixing the 2 breeds makes for a better dog. I really like Labradoodles (Labrador Retriever x Poodle) and Goldendoodles (Golden Retriever x Poodle). I have always wanted a big dog but could never get one because ALL of them shed. The Labradoodles and Goldendoodles are specifically bred to the poodle so they won't shed! I will definately be getting one of these breeds when I get a backyard
