Why though? What's wrong with it?

TL:DR, mental conditions, health issues, and bandwagoning by unscrupulous breeders who cross any breed with poodles to "be the first"

Puppy mills. Any time a breed gets popular, those pieces of shit will start breeding any two dogs they can find with no consideration for temperament or health, and idiots pay through the nose for them. Then they're shocked when the dog they were promised would be smart and affectionate is anxious and aggressive.

I had a rescue doodle that came from a puppy mill that shut down, and he was in horrific shape. He physically couldn't sit for probably a year because his hips were in so much pain. I took him to a groomer and she had to shave him before and after his bath because he was so filthy and matted. He jumped at every loud noise for years. He was also incredibly gentle and sweet once he trusted us, but it was clear that the woman who owned him only cared about the state of the puppies, and kept the parents in appalling conditions.

Turns two very good breeds into a mystery box. The breeders claim that they are hypoallergenic, which is not guaranteed, and they claim that they don't need to be groomed, but they usually do. Most reputable breeders don't breed them so they are usually in worse health than pure bred dogs from a reputable breeder for more money.

Basically, they are a scam. The puppies sure are cute though.

What's wrong with labradoodles?

We have a cavoodle, basically a smaller version of this breed.

He’s not aggressive, basically a big wuss-bag, but he gets along with our 2yo like a house on fire!

My biggest issue with the breed is that they seem to hhave no sense of self-preservation - picking fights with much larger, more serious dogs (German Shepherds, Border Collies etc.), and are one of the only breeds I have ever encountered that aren’t primarily motivated by food.. ours in particular is a ridiculously fussy eater.

Our in-house joke about him is that he’s not a dog at all, but a sentient teddy bear.

I saw a chichuaua attack my border collie once, she somehow flipped it on it's back, put a paw on it's neck, snarled at it, then let it go.

She handled that better than most humans would have.

They are absolute crackheads. Adorable, fuzzy, crackheads.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Soooo you're saying we should be using them for finding drugs instead of shepherds? We just need to make sure they don't destroy the evidence...

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

They're very aggressive
