Hi, can you guys tell me what kind of dog this is and how you know? I’m asking because I’m considering adopting her. I am allergic to all
Dogs but poodles. Thank you!! From me and Willow

 

[Raindrops]

I think it is impossible to know, especially without shaved face. Could be poodle, could be poodle mix. What info do you have on her?

 

[Dechi]

It looks like a poodle but it could be a mix. I’m not too fond of the bow in the hair. Serious, reputable breeders do not use such marketing techniques. I would pass. Unless she’s from a shelter ?

 

[Fenris-wolf]

Maybe Labradoodle or Golden doodle? Where how did you meet her?

 

[Willowgirl]

A girl has to get rid of her because she has a sister and brother. They aren’t getting along, she doesn’t want much for her.

Yikes that is very sad. What does she say the dog is?

 

[Willowgirl]

She said it’s a standard poodle but her hair looks really straight to me.

Could be a mix, could be all poodle - very hard to tell under the fluff. The straightness could be puppy coat. I would ask more questions, not least because a reputable breeder would want to be involved in rehoming which is a bit of a red flag as to the pup's origins. Does she have a pedigree? Why exactly has the girl got three pups from the same litter, unless she bred them? Health and behavioural issues from poor breeding and poor early socialising could prove expensive in terms of time and money.

If everything checks out to your satisfaction I would ask if you can spend some time with the dog and see how your allergies react. Be aware that sometimes you can be fine with a puppy but not the same dog as an adult, though.

thank you. I was wondering all of those things too. That’s why I came here. You guys are like my poodle parents. That’s why I asked, to see if I was over thinking things like usual.

This just made me laugh out loud. So cute.

We've got lots of people around here who professionally "re-home" dogs, so I'd be wary, too. Purebred poodle rescues are a hot commodity.

I think I'd also be wary of the "not getting along" bit. Sounds fishy, as this puppy looks to be at an age where she'd still be getting along quite joyously with everyone.

Then again, if the owner's story is true, puppy might not be a good fit for a multi-dog household.

All that said, Peggy had very straight, fluffy hair as a pup. For the first couple of months, her only real curls were on her clean face as it grew in. They slowly began appearing elsewhere, but only at the roots so you couldn't see them, just feel them.

 

[Willowgirl]

Willows hair was straight everywhere but her face, ears and tails. And Peggys mom, you are right. I have to hold onto my horses! Haha
Here’s a pic of Willow this week. We are I. California enjoying the warm weather!
Well I can’t upload one for some reason

 

[PeggyTheParti]

Ahhh! That's just cruel. We need more Willow pics.

Can you ask her what kind breed she is? What's going on that her sister and brother aren't getting along with her? What's her temperament like? Please ask for more details if you can please. My family and I ended up with this little monster who didn't get along with other dogs, but we should have asked more.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SISKO

 

[Vee]

I would say she’s a goldendoodle its the ear set that made me think that and her coat looks fleecey. Have you seen the siblings, do they look the same?
I’d guess she may be the breeder?! I would want to see the parents and their health test results, if you have allergies I’d definitely be wanting a pedigree certificate for the puppy or see her parents to ensure they are poodles.

 

[Mufar42]

I have to agree with Vee, looks doodle to me but could be a poodle. If I had allergies I would definitely want to see the pedigree or at least take the dog on a trial basis for say 2 weeks. On another note I have a friend who is into doodles both she and daughter have them. What I find funny is one claims how hers is 75% poodle and the other say well if I shaved his nose he would look poodle see how curly his coat is? Hmm he has a soft wavy coat, is heavy boned has a big bushy tail, is adorable but he doesn't look poodle . Just get a real poodle I say!

 

[cowpony]

Its really hard to tell under that long hair. She looks a bit like a friend's golden doodle, which was 3/4 poodle. The muzzle, even under the long hair, doesn't look quite as heavy as some of the labradoodles and cobber dogs I've seen. I'd ask to see the pedigree.

 

[Porkchop]

To me it looks like a golden doodle or labradoodle. As mentioned before by Vee, the ears. Also, the color of the eyes and the fact that they are closer set look doodle to me. I’ve noticed many doodles have closer set eyes than poodles. But really, I don’t know. might be a poodle.
I agree with Mufar about doodle people, just get a poodle. This pup is certainly cute though. Being that you have allergies I wouldn’t consider it. I’d just buy from a good breeder to ensure you’re really getting a purebred poodle and better chance of good health and temperament.

 

[Raindrops]

Though I agree she does have doodle qualities, I can't imagine why a person wouldn't just call her a doodle if she is. In my area, doodles are in higher demand and fetch higher prices. I agree with Peggy that it's all very fishy. Was it posted on craigslist? They have rules against selling dogs so people often post fake stories to "rehome" puppies that they have produced themselves. I would be very suspicious. I also think a puppy at that age doesn't usually know how to not get along.

She said it’s a standard poodle but her hair looks really straight to me.

I have three standard poodles, and two of them came with straight puppy hair, but both became very curly as they got older, so you can't really go by the straight hair.
