Some of these crosses look absolutely wonderful. But whether they’re beautiful of not, what really attracts me more than anything else is their name.
Probably the most common is the Labradoodle, a cross between a labrador and a poodle. But we also have Bordoodles (Border Collie mix), Goldendoodles (Golden Retriever), or Dalmadoodles (one could imagine a cartoon film about 202 of them).

Danielle and I had our granddaughter in stitches when we were told her that we were looking for a Shihpoo.
“What are you looking for?” she gasped between giggles.
“It’s a dog,” we explained, “a cross between a Poodle and a Shitsu.”
“Between a poodle and … a ... what?” she spluttered.
It dawned on us that our explanation hadn’t made things any better.

So I’ve decided to come up with one of my own.
A Poodle cross with another Poodle, which is what we’re proud to have sharing our home with us now, is to be known, henceforth, as a Poodledoodle.

I mean, we really wouldn’t want to refer to her as a Poopoo.
