While I rant on . . .
I know a lot of Standard Poodle people who would be offended by the notion that their dogs are not "family friendly"! Aside from being some of the smartest dogs going, you wont find a more gentle and loving breed! Plus a Poodle is just as, if not more so, bitable than a Lab! If you just look at which breeds win highest honors in obedience competitions each year, you'd see the Standard Poodle ranks right up there, second maybe, only to the Border Collie! Why on Earth would you need to cross a Poodle with a Lab if all you wanted was a good natured family dog? You've already got it in the Standard Poodle!
