A "doodle" is a cross between a poodle and another breed. Poodles are considered great for cross-breeding with other types of dogs because they are intelligent, make great family pets and have a non-shedding hypoallergenic coat. These days doodles are popping up everywhere - and some of them (like those on our list) have some pretty humorous names.
Goldendoodle
This is a crossbreed between a golden retriever and a standard poodle. For some strange reason, many goldendoodles actually grow larger than either their golden retriever or standard poodle parents!
Labradoodle
The first labradoodle was bred in 1989 by an Australian named Wally Conron. Labradoodles are a mix of Labrador retrievers and standard or miniature poodles. Because labs come in a variety of colors, you can find labradoodles that are brown, yellow, white, etc.
Spoodle
The actual name of this hybrid dog is cockapoo, but because it is a mixed breed between a cocker spaniel and a miniature or toy poodle it is also known as a spoodle. These adorable little teddy bears have been around in the U.S. since about 1960.
Schnoodle
This breed is a mix between a poodle and a schnauzer. Since poodles come in four sizes (standard, miniature, toy and teacup) and schnauzers come in three sizes (standard, giant and miniature), dogs from each breed that are around the same size are bred to create schnoodles.
Whoodle
What do you get when you cross a wheaton terrier and a poodle - why, a whoodle, of course! Whoodles are pretty adorable and, since both breeds are hypoallergenic to begin with, they make a great choice for people who are otherwise allergic to dogs.
Shipoo
These small domestic dogs are the result of a cross between a poodle (usually miniature or toy) and a small dog breed known as a shih tzu.
Yorkipoo
Just what you thought it would be - a yorkie/poodle mix! Brown and black and cute all over, these tiny dogs are very popular across America because of their small size.
