Aren't poodle mixes often good for allergic people, too? I thought that was one of the reasons a high school friend of mine had a cockapoo.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

They can be - it depends on the dog. I should say that the reason that the Australian organization (or whatever) that pioneered the "labradoodle" project stopped was because they could not get the cross to breed "true" for hair rather than regular dog coat.
You can find purebred dogs at the shelter or through rescue.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
See, now that's why Obama won, because he brings the community together. Even over a puppy.

I just took some cookies out of the oven. The recipe called them buckwheat sugar cookies, but they look like buckwheat shortbread to me. And they smell delicious, but we have to wait for them to cool before we eat them.

Mmmm.. . I wish I had some fresh baked cookies.
(I'm watching "It's Me or the Dog" - two hour long episodes with giant dogs.)

You can find pure-bred rescue dogs fairly easily -- a friend got a (fluffy) Chinese Crested that is a joy and a half. (Chinese Crested come in a variety of hairy to hairless states. The fluffier ones are almost like poodles with a hair relaxer applied.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've added some videos to my Yellowstone set on Flickr, starting here: [link]
If you ever get a chance to go to Yellowstone, don't miss it. There is so much to see, and all of it is amazing.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Yesterday, momDog got dropped in and the puppies swarmed to her so fast and latched on that she couldn't even lie down, she literallydragged them around until she could collapse!
