See, now, I know I'm beating a dead horse, but why on earth do people dislike purebred Poodles and just adore Labradors and Goldens so much that they have to mix the two breeds? And who on EARTH said that a Poodle/Lab mix will exactly have a Labrador personality and a Poodle coat? Is somebody playing God that I don't know about? Point blank: there are no reputable breeders of designer mixes, in my book. They all breed for the sole purpose of producing companion-quality pets. There are millions of companion-quality pets dying in shelters every year. They are simply adding insult to injury.

Besides, if you're looking for a Retriever with a curly coat, try the Curly Coated Retriever...or something like a Portuguese Water Dog or Irish Water Spaniel.

Also, when people say they're allergic to dogs, they're most likely referring to its saliva and dander. All dogs have saliva. All dogs have dander.

Alrighty. Done beating the dead horse!

(P.S. I have a "Dobrador Pintriever", but I just like to call her my doberman/lab MIX.)
