I dont think the ones breeding them are stupid, think its more a case of jumping on the band waggon to make money + lots of it

Speaking of designer dogs and making lots of money... Anyone hear about the Red Tibetan Mastiff puppy which became the world's most expensive dog after being sold for almost £1 million?!?

That's amazing Squirrel - I'd not heard about it, so had to look it up. Here's a link with a photo!

I know, it is a bit of a shock!

We tend to have a look at the newspapers for newsworthy articles to discuss on the course I help out at on a Weds, and this was one of the items of news picked out by the guys. They seemed to think that the pup looked like a lion more than a dog!

He certainly is a most unusual dog ..... and a glorious colour.

I have to admit to have been quite interested in Labradoodles (and Poodles for that matter). Being quite badly allergic to dogs I find Labs in particular aggrievate my condition so avoid pretty well all dogs as a result. However I do actually LIKE them!

A short stay with a friend years and years ago and being exposed to her parents' toy poodles with no resulting reaction makes me think that one day I would actually like one of these dogs.

So is the consensus that it's a con? That would be a shame, but as I actually quite like the standard poodle that might be a safe option for me.

Poodles do not cast so they are better for people who have allergies. The labradoodle - some cast, some don't.
