That is scary to think about. Isn't it ! ?I expect my breeder to be heavily involved in the fancy and no one who really loved Poodles would want to throw Goldens or Labs into the mix.
For the last 5 years, I have lurked on various Doodle breeder forums to keep abreast of the Designer Dog fad. I have yet to see a Doodle breeder who really knew anything about Poodles. They may use them in their breeding programs, but they don't know about correct temperament, structure and they are completely in the dark about health issues.

OMG, the truth is bad lolThat used to be true here too, but now they are written at the level of an 8 year old.hwell:
We live in such a dumb world lol
I think if you're happy with your pup thats fantastic newpoodlemum
but I can understand where the breeders on the forum are saying that don't get it
if someone was to uphold the standard and were trying to make the breed better with every litter available to them
they would never breed lab's with poodles
its really informative to me how strong some feel FOR and against these animals
but from what I've seen every breeder I've found ((in Ohio, PA, WV, Ky, In)) who breeds poodles AND doodles none of them do any sort of agility, or show, they just have plastered everywhere "From CHAMPION pedigree's"
I sort of love the fact that with everyone on the forums help I've become this very scrupulous buyer who wants to know EVERYTHING ((in reason)) about the breeder and their goals

I think unfortunatly (fortunatly?) poodles have a stigma about them. Lots of people dont want a "poodle". They want a manly, big, less intelligent (or whatever word you want to put in there ) dog. People look at them as this high maintence, funny haircut, snobby, unsocial, wussy dog.
I can honestly see where people would get this misconception from. There Are poodles out there that dont have the best temperaments. I think what we LOVE about them, most people dont (and im ok with that, as that means less people own and ruin this wonderful breed).
We love their intelligence and thinking nature. Most people dont want a "thinking" dog, and just want a dog to go along blindly (lets face it, a thinking dog keeps you on your toes). We love the full changeable hair. Most people dont want to do upkeep and dont like the "haircuts". Etc.

I have put a lot of thought into this before lol, and I honestly think that the poodle stigma is absolutely FORTUNATEI think unfortunatly (fortunatly?) poodles have a stigma about them.

I think that because, for people to see past the stigma, they must be smarter than the average joe, so hopefully, for them being smarter, they'll probably be educated dog owners, who will look after them as they should be.
