I repeat the earlier question - we are put in this position more than any other owner.. can you blame us for getting little upset... ?

Temperament wise there are no guarantees....BUT if you need a dog that does not shed due to health issues - then people should realise they are taking a gamble when they go for a cross.

So there are KC dogs that are guaranteed not to shed? Most allergies are not caused by hair and most people don't by crosses to avoid allergic reaction.
Some poodles were bred as retrievers and mainly only for water. Many other breeds do this just as well. I love Poodles but they have no more of a purpose than other dogs / breeds / crosses etc.

I like a good argument... pity you're not up for it and simply regurgitate gainsay !

It should be just a breeding issue imo
