Crossing dogs of other breeds with Poodles has become a bit of a phenomenon in recent days. Ideally, you get the best features of the poodle, the intelligence, the body shape, the low-shedding with the best features of the other partner. The most popular designer dog these days seems to be the Labradoodle, a Poodle and a Labrador Retriever combined.

What would you call a Pomapoo mixed with a long haired teacup Chihuahua?
By Allison L.
Am sorry in if I am seeming mean but they are called a family member who happens to be a multiple canine purebreed mix. Why do human beings find the need to give a designer breed name to their fur baby instead of simply using their individual name?
I am of multiple ethnic origins. Does that mean I should have a cutsie mixed breed designer name too?
Pomapoochi, don't take the harsh comments to heart! I'm a Heinz 57 American. I understand the "want" to give a "breed" name for the mixes. My 4-legged son is a Wolf-Heeler & my kitties are mixed as well. Just love your baby! God bless!
I would call it a poochi. I bet it's a cutie!
Is there an actual breed of a Yorkie and Chihuahua mix or would they be considered mutts?
By jeffmarjann from Bloomington, IN
All mixed dogs are mutts. Particular mixes are in fashion right now (like Yorkie/chi and the GoldenDoodle) but they are not recognized as a separate breed.
I am thinking how cute that mix would be, a Yorkie and a Chihuahua...how adorable! :)
What does a Terra-Doodle dog look like please?
By Rita
I did a Google image search and found Terra dogs and Doodle dogs but no Terrar Doodle Dogs. I think the cutest is the Golden Doodle.
Check out these photos.
Taya Pookey Honey Bird will be 3 in September. She is a miniature poodle/papillion and pincher. We saw an ad, she had a brother and sister but right away we realized she was the one.
Bleux was a shelter dog for many months. Nicholas, a shelter volunteer, bonded with this massive boy instantly. Two guys, never afraid to share their love for each other even in a less-than-perfect world.
He was an adoption through a shelter. He likes walks, fetch, tug-of-war, high energy, and he chews on everything!
She is a rescue dog from a shelter. She loves to run and chew on her stuffed bear.
My daughter got Stormy from a shelter. He loves to go to the dog park and play with his little girl friend. He also enjoys raiding the garbage when no one is home.
I got Sarah when I was 14 and in the 9th grade. My mom and I drove down the road from our home and met Sarah's original owners at the town post office. I remember this tiny and scared furball being placed in my arms. She looked up at me and I fell in love.
Petey was a gift from God. After searching for 3 years I thought dah! and said a prayer. 3 days later God blessed me with the best dog in the world!
I got her about 4 weeks old. She was left outside my boyfriend's store at 3 am on September 1.
Ginger showed up at our house out of the blue about a year and a half ago and made herself at home. We don't know what we'd do without her.
I got him where I always would get my puppy, at our local doggy shelter. He also likes sitting on our deck in the sun and loves certain TV shows with animals.
My grandparents' dog gave birth to them. They like to run around! They're tiny and hyperactive. All they do is run around and play with each other. Also, anything small enough to fit in their tiny puppy mouth gets chewed by them.
I got her as a birthday gift. She likes running, pulling things, etc.
A women was giving her away because she could not afford her. She loves to sleep and be cute.
Rex is 100% Dad's dog and Patch is 100% Mommy's but they hate to be away from each other.
Piwo is a 1 year old mixed breed dog. He was a rescue. He likes to run, fetch and play ball. I love him.
