I would like to get a poodle hybrid puppy. Probably a cockapoo. Any recommendations?

Let me be more specific, the reason I would be getting one of these kinds of dogs is because of my allergies.

No. You should not spend your hard earned money on a designer dog from one of those so called "breeders". If you want a mix just go to the pound or shelter and adopt one. You can find all sizes ages mixes and breeds in these places. Another thing you can do is look into poodle rescues because a lot of times they have poodle mixes of all sizes and different ages.
As crazyforboxers said just because it is part poodle does not mean it won't shed. Get a pure bred poodle sure you will have to get it groomed but you would have to do it with a poodle mix as well.

Most of us would NOT know...since we are ACTUAL breeders, and anyone breeding MUTTS is just a BYB...you know...puppies for profit...mutts for money...breeding for a buck.
Then get a Poodle. By adding COCKER in the mix, the dog does not have LESS of a chance of being allergenic!!! Poodles are not even hypoallergenic to all allergy suffers!!!!!!!! Getting a mix is just not a great idea!!!!!! Don't believe all the LIES told about how all these MUTTS are non-shedding, and hypoallergenic, and have no health problems, and have the "best of both breeds". They are lies!!! You nmay get a puppy with more COCKER traits...like the coat.

Hi, People ALWAYS dis poodle hybrids on Yahoo. I am the proud "mom" of a Bichonpoo. She is the light of my life. I had many good reasons for getting a hybrid. Not that too many people care. I live in the NY and got mine in Queens. Vanity Pups 3813 Bell Blvd Flushing, NY 11361-2058 Phone: (718)224-3643. Ask for Michael. The man is WONDERFUL. He has small dogs Hybrids and Pures. Good prices. My Bichonpoo is the best dog I ever owned and I don't regret for a minute buying a hybrid. If you have any more questions e-mail me. If you want to see pictures of my beautiful baby look at left and on my 360.

You could well find the dog of your dreams at your local animal shelter. These dogs have been temperment tested, spayed/neutered, microchipped, given their shots, and licensed. A steal of a deal.
Be a hero, save a life and adopt a shelter dog.

Shih Tzu and Bishon Frise are AKC recognized breeds that are less prone to give people with allergies any problems. Please do more research before buying a designer mutt.

Go to a shelter! They are there too.
