Oops forgot to mention, designer breeds are bred to meet public demand. The public wanted a hypoallergenic dog, but didn't want a poodle. So thus the labra- and golden-doodles were born. All the fun of a lab or golden, but hypoallergenic AND shed free. what I find hilarious is that though they may not shed, NO dog is hypoallergenic, all dogs have skin and saliva. I'd like to try to see them breed that out.
