I have 2 dogs that came from shelters and 2 that I found injured and could never find the owners.

I have always had dogs but I now only get dogs from shelters with the exceptions of the ones that I find hungry and injured.

I have when I was younger gone out looking for breed specific dogs or specific mixes. When I would do these searches I would run across dogs that where not what I was looking for but ended up wanting more than my original search.

The dogs that made me the happiest where the ones that I was not looking for.

I know this does not answer your quest for a poodle mix but I would ask for you to go to a couple of shelters and look around. You might run into a dog you would like even more.

None of my shelter dogs have ever been a mistake.
