"Idiotdoodle" made me laugh.
My mother had a black dog, sorta wiry black hair, purpley blue mottled tongue. He was a great "watchdog" as he'd bark when people came by but he was NOT an attack dog. He first showed up with a nasty open wound on his side; my mother took him to a vet who said he thought he'd been tossed out of a moving vehicle.
He was hardly an "idiotdoodle" but he was smart and the vet thought he had a little poodle in him. She gave him a good home and a good life though, which was more than could be said for the ***** who owned him before she did.
But we never were able to figure out exactly what his heritage was.
Just that he was a great "mutt."
I love standard poodles. They are really great dogs.
Temperament wise, the doodles are pretty mild and easy going, not as smart, but similar in temperament.
I've never met a sharp one. My real issue is the owners, who generally are the idiots. They spend oodles of money on puppy mill dogs and rave about how their dogs are " healthier" and better than other dogs, never mind that the breeders are using stock from the bottom of the barrel and the dogs are, if anything, less healthy that a purebred from a reputable breeder.
Plus, like I said, 9 times out of ten, nasty coat. It's hard to work with, and few of the owners understand combing out the dogs, which, because of the poodle in them, HAS to be done. Plus, thanks to the non poodle genes, they do shed and are not "hypoallergenic".
If you want a doodle for the supposed hypoallergenic benefits and no shedding, just get a standard poodle. Worried about image? Just remember, the Standard Poodle is a water bird dog originating in Germany. Das Puddlehund. So, not foofoo at all, really.
