Saw this fellow at punngol, so i went up to ask the owner what breed it was and he told me it’s a golden retriever. Back in my mind i was like, “yea right, looks more like a cross with poodle, or a mutt.” So after asking him a few more times, he decided to tell me it’s a golden retriever cross poodle.
So it’s a goldendoodle. I still can’t appreciate these new hybrids. Labradoodle (labrador x poodle), Schnoodles (mini schnauzer x poodle), Cavoodle (cavalier king charles spaniel x poodle), Moodle (maltese x poodle), Poogle (beagle x poodle)… and the list goes on.
Quote wiki:
“Though a hybrid (poodle crossed with another breed) may have a portmanteau word name made up of the breeds in the cross, it cannot be registered by any of the major kennel clubs as crosses are not one breed of dog, but two (or more.) If both parents are registered purebreds but of different breeds, it is still not possible to register a puppy as two different breeds. However, there are many small registries and internet-based affinity groups that will “register” litters of dogs with no proof of ancestry required, and will even allow (for a fee) breeders to “register” litters of puppies under any name they care to invent.”
Let’s just call them mutts for now. But it does injustice to mutts because these hybrids look way scarier and uglier )):
