A Doodle is a mixed-breed dog that is created by mating a Poodle with another dog breed. The resulting puppies are Doodles, and they carry the hypoallergenic characteristics of Poodles with the additional qualities of another dog breed. Doodles come in varying sizes, shapes, colors, and coats, and they have quirky names like Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, and Aussiedoodles. Some of the most popular Doodle breeds include Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Maltipoos, Bernedoodles, Aussiedoodles, Schnoodles, and Cockapoos.

Doodles are not recognized as a dog breed by the AKC, and there is no set breed standard for any Doodle cross. The demand for Doodles has increased over the last two decades, and breeders have produced more and more of them to meet the demand. Doodles are usually considered to be hypoallergenic dogs because they are bred with Poodles, but there is no such thing as a truly hypoallergenic dog.

Doodles are known for their intelligence, playfulness, loyalty, and high energy levels. They require regular training and grooming appointments to maintain their high-maintenance coat. However, Doodles are very trainable, and they make great family dogs.
