Poodles?

[Horse Lover]

A "Golden Doodle" is a designer breed. A breeder should not be selling these dogs...they are simply mixes that are being sold for more.

Poodles are awesome dogs...just as everyone said. They are not hypo-allergenic, there is still dander, and I believe someone else said that a lot of allergies come from saliva also. A smaller dog that dosen't shed might work better, especially if you can't handle the grooming requirements of a poodle. Like other people said, schnauzers are a good choice, they have miniature, standard, and giant schnauzers. And then there are the hairless breeds...the Chinese Crested, American Hairless, among a few. (One of my favorite breeds is the American Hairless). Were you specifically looking for a big dog though?

And a beagle will shed just as much as a papillon will...just different types of fur.

Thanks we were looking into a larger dog my friends dog had puppies and few years ago schazers they are great dogs but her dogs go after squrrels and chipmunks and I really dont want a hairless because if my cat sctracthes it it might be a little worse than a dog with alot of hair but i LOVE all dogs

From what I can remember of my Grandad's poodle, Kerry, she was forever being clipped. Our Patterdale Terrier doesn't shed much
