He was sold as a non-shedding breed. He is definitely not!
I'm mostly convinced he is a Springer X, not Poodle cross....

Big friendly chap though, lovely dog. Sweet nature...but absolutely mahoosive
The owner kept saying to me "Oh my dog looks so like yours!" I was thinking "no it doesn't"!!!

He isnt what I would go for (in terms of looks, or price
) but they are very happy with him. As with any dog, so long as well researched, and the dog comes from health tested stock, and the family is informed that the dog may not be the sheddless variety/look like every other of the same x breeding, then I dont have an issue.
I own two mutts, several people here own deliberate x breeds/mutts. Whilst I agree that morons breeding x's is a terrible idea, I have no problem with x's being done by informed people with healthy/tested dogs, who go to good homes.

When we were on holiday a few weeks ago Hen made friends with a labradoodle, he was huge, I had thought he was a wolfhound cross when I first met the people...a proper sweetheart though
