Hypoallergenic dogs are great for people who have pet allergies. Luckily, there are many hypoallergenic Poodle mixes. The Poodle is a low-shedding dog that originated in Germany. The dog breed has many coat colors, including white, black, grey, blue and brown. In addition, there are many Poodle mixes. This is because Poodles are the most popular non-allergenic dog breed.
Poodle mixes are called Doodles. Doodles come in all sizes, coat types and colors. Poodles have a single coat that is low shedding. This coat is composed of curly hair that, like human hair, grows continuously. As a result, Poodles and some mixes need regular bathing, brushing and shaving of hair/ fur.
Moreover, there are small, medium and big Poodle crossbreed dogs. This is because the Poodle breed has three distinct sizes (Toy, Miniature and Standard) and the breeds used to create the Poodle mixes are of varying sizes as well.
For example, the Bernese Mountain Dog is a large dog breed. A cross between this dog and the Standard Poodle results in one of the most hypoallergenic Poodle mixes, the Bernedoodle. Bernedoodles can grow to be big dogs, depending on the genetic composition of each puppy.
