I am still always looking for a doodle breeder who does health tests on their dogs.. combined health tested, included, but not limited to, cardiac, eyes, hips, etc.

Poodles never get away from you, they are so clingy, haha!

yeah and poodles blown out have straight hair, their hair doesn't curl as much as you think! when its grown out, its pretty straight. It only really forms curls when its pretty straight

personally I'd just get one or the other, instead of mixing. People take advantage of the doodle thing, lots of people breeding them because they noticed they where popular and they wanted to make a quick buck. I would never support a "breed" with a base of people who are so negligent.

I totally understand how you feel and I love purebred poodles and would never support the people crossing them with anything and everything these days buuuuuutttttt.... that said, they have been around so long now that there are breeders now that have been breeding like 10, 20 years, etc. and associations that have health testing requirements and their own standard even. There are ones that are doing it right. they’re not that common of course but they do exist. And personally, for me, I used to be pretty against them but now I realize that the doodle craze isn’t likely to go away any time soon and there’s a lot of squirrelly purebred breeders too so I think there need to be more responsible breeders that so health test, etc. so that if someone wants one, they don’t have to buy from a BYB or mill like so many do. Currently some exist but not enough for the demand. But here are some of the associations. The health testing requirements are listed on their websites.
