I mean possibly, the article describes him trying to train standard poodles as guide dogs for years without success, and then he crossed one of them with his boss' lab. So like, I'm sure they were probably good god that he used, but it wasn't exactly a calculated science.

But also, isn't that what unscrupulous breeders are going to do anyways? Like I don't see how this breed makes puppy mills better or worse, it seems like it would just change the breeds they target.
