Doodles first appeared in the 1990s as breeders experimented crossing Poodles with other dogs. Their friendly nature and low-shedding coats quickly grew very popular.
History
From tiny "Toy" Doodles under 12 lbs to "Standard" Doodles over 50 lbs, these Poodle crosses come in a wide range of sizes.
Sizes
While traits vary, most Doodles inherit intelligence and low-shedding qualities from their Poodle parents.
Traits
Goldendoodles and Labradoodles lead in popularity, but many other Poodle crosses like Bernedoodles and Aussiedoodles have ardent fans.
Popular
Depending on breeder reputation, location and other factors, Doodle puppy prices typically range from $1,000 to $5,000.
Costs
Moderate exercise matches their playful energy. Regular brushing and professional grooming helps manage their hair.
