Hi,

We own 2 ESS and a Springerdoodle. Daisy is the calmest dog we own, with a great temperament.

Springer Doodles are an intelligent and obedient family companion.
The breeds, like the Labradoodle are friendly towards children, other dogs and other pets.They are social dogs, their intelligence, eagerness to please, and love of learning make them very easy to train.

Not my cup of tea either, although these breeds are being bred and utilised more and more by assitance type dogs and guide dogs certainly have a breeding programme for them

I think some of them don't shed an awful lot, which is good for allergy sufferers, but from what a breeder told me, you can't really tell until they are about 10months

Daisy is lovely, and the only one we can find in the UK, we have contacted some breeders in the US about her.

Edited

She does not shed, and is a good family pet.

OH keeps telling me I told him Labradoodles don't shed...................

IF I ever did (which I seriously doubt) I was very wrong - they do, little wavy curly hairs that look like pubes and drop out of your clothing all over the white loo seat - embarassing at work!

Well I have just sat and reread all of your opinions frankly I’m very disappointed with some of you
Daisy my springerdoodle is the best dog i have ever owned and at my age I’ve owned a few now.
She was an accident from a stranded black poodle and a liver and white ess I paid £200 for her and I don’t regret it at tall.
What’s wrong with cross breeds if you know the temperament of the original breeds?
Springer’s some time are to much if you have young children and poodles can be too calm and standoffish mix the two and you get a fun dog with a calm temperament (and if they don’t shed hair all the better)

there is nothing the matter at all with cross breeds, there wonderful dogs, most have less health problems etc, its when breeders attach silly designer price labels on them that i object to it, a dog is a dog is a dog, and when breeders attach prices of £750- £800 for a mongrel it makes me seethe as more and more "breeders" will jump on the band wagon, resulting in more dogs in rescue in a few months time

Well I am a Doodle fan, I even have one of my own, but I'm afraid it's blanket statements like this which drive me nuts! Barney is a Labradoodle - now Labs aren't particularly known for being completly bonkers, and where the stand offish'ness of the Poodle is I don't know, as he loves every one and every thing. Calm he certainly isn't, unless you can produce two tennis balls and a chuckit at very regular intervals to get him to burn off some energy.

I guess some would say I've just been 'unlucky', but actually, I quite like him like this, I wasn't looking for a 'steady' dog (luckily)....

You can't just mix a 'steady' breed with a slightly bonkers one and think the 'steady' gene is dominant - it just isn't as easy as that.

There's nothing wrong with them, if you're ready for a wide variety in temperaments and are willing to take them as individuals as they come, surprises included, as you would with any mongrel. As for health, if they're bred from parents with health issues, they have a fair chance of inheriting them, mongrel or not.....

What's wrong is the fact that they are produced on a market scale with labels that proclaim them as the ultimate trouble-free pet complete with a supposedly guaranteed disposition or other traits like non-shedding or non-allergenic. They're being produced on purpose with false claims to earn quick money, and that's what people object to (quite rightly, in my opinion).
