Nowadays, designer dog breeds or hybrid dog breeds are in fashion. The breeders are continuously developing the hybrid breeds by crossing two or more different breeds in order to get a new and modified dog breed.
Either it’s a Chihuahua, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chow chow, or any other breed, all of them have been crossed with different breeds, and interestingly, almost all of them are doing well.
And guess what, while digging deep on the internet, we found that Poodles are among the most popular dog breeds among the breeders and they prefer Poodles over other breeds for crossing purposes. According to our study, there are over 50 different breeds that have been crossed with Poodles. Some of them are Labrador Retriever (forms Labradoodle), Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (forms Cavapoo), Shih Tzu (forms Shih Poo), and the Bernese Mountain Dog (forms Bernedoodle).
Wondering why Poodle Crossbreeds do well as compared to other hybrid breeds? Well, we have performed detailed research on "Why the Poodles are considered the best breed for crossbreeding", and found some useful info. So, without further ado, let's find the reasons behind the Poodle's popularity.
1: They have a low-shedding coat
Poodles shed very less that is why they are considered as an ideal breed for the people who are allergic to the dog's fur, hair, and dander. So, when they are crossed with other breeds even if they are shedding breeds, their pup usually inherits the Poodle's low-shedding coat. But remember, the breeder can't guarantee a low-shedding pup.

Did you know that the Poodles are ranked as the second most intelligent dog breed in the world after the Border Collie? Yes, that is true. The Poodles are among the all-rounder dogs and they do well in a number of dog sports, as well as, herding, tracking, and even performs well at the circus. They also make the best therapy dogs so we can say that they are a complete package for their owners.
3: They come in 3 different versions
Interestingly, the Poodles come in 3 different versions; Standard, Miniature, and Tiny. So, all of them have different traits and their crosses do also inherit different traits from them.
4: Their temperament is exceptional
Not only they are energetic but they are also obedient and calm. If you receive frequent guests, the Poodles are always happy to welcome them with an open heart.
