Good external link, Quill. The Dogfather 03:45, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Listing some of these mixes as breeds is bad enough, but if you can't even tell what exact breeds went into the mix, what you have is a mutt. A "pooter" is a mutt. If you own a "pooter" and you paid money for it, you been had.
Removed this comment from the article: "All of the names have been made up by someone not just pooter or perrier so you can't say poodle hybrids only have names ending in oodle or poo some people love their dogs and don't appreiciated being targeted like this Thank you". This sort of comment belongs here, not in the article.

Tech Central Station yesterday published an article written by Robert McHenry, Former Editor in Chief of Encyclopædia Britannica, with his views on Wikipedia.
I completely disagree with his arguments, notably the danger of erroneous, barely legible, or overly detailed information creeping into the Wikipedia. While I think this is a bigger problem for articles of a controversial nature, even within our own project (dog breeds) I have seen some examples.
The problem is becoming evident on the Poodle page, specifically in the Hybrid section. Like many popular breeds, Poodles have been crossed with any number of other breeds, sometimes on purpose and sometimes accidentally. Is it really necessary to list every different combination which may be in existence?
Growing up, my canine friend was part Poodle, part Spitz. He was a great family pet, but apart from this mundane fact, his pedigree was hardly notable. Looking at the list, I see that we have a Cockapoo and a Spoodle, both of which are described as being Poodle/Cocker Spaniel crosses. Oh, what fun Mr. McHenry would have with this list. What’s next, the Labradobradoodle (Lab/Doberman/Poodle)? Or maybe the Puliwoolipoo (Puli/Wolfhound/Poodle)? How about the Spinonebaloneytollypoo (Spinone/Balognese/Toller/Poodle)?

Okay, Elf, I followed that votes for deletion thingy. Have no idea if I did it right. (Got lost on the VfD page, scrolled down and there's instruction after instruction...when it got to the part about putting the new date's section in...well, that was it for me....) Quill 23:36, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
There's no such thing. I think I've had this entry deleted; not sure. Quill 00:15, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
It's back. Now what do we do? Quill 22:18, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
This fad of cross-breeding poodles has a new name, "doodling." But it's still a foolish and expensive crap shoot. People seem to want the traits of a poodle without the work or "image" of a poodle. As a long-time standard poodle owner (and lover), I believe people who want a dog with poodle traits ought to try the real thing. Poodles of any size can be clipped in ways that are practical and easy to care for, and their intelligence and loyalty can't be matched. Let's quit doodling and start poodling. 72.234.151.104 07:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC) JBK in Hawaii, 9:00 pm [HST] 16 Nov 2005
Please go here to here ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yorkiepoo) to express your opinion. Thanks. Elf | Talk 18:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I believe that Eskipoo should be merged into this article because the eskipoo isn't a very notable cross, and probably doesn't need its own page (certainly not with the amount of info that's on there now). -- Pharaoh Hound (talk) 19:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed that a number of the pages about the various poodle hybrids have physical descriptions of what your Labradoodle or whatever will look like. Umm, excuse me? As a hybrid, (correct me if i'm wrong), but don't these dog's have a wide range of possible phenotypes, depending on which parent is which, what traits are dominant, etc.? I mean, my parents have a Boogle, and when we chose him, his siblings had a range of appearances, from very beagle-y to quite poodle-y, to one or two that almost look like terriers! I suggest a removal of the text about the crosses' appearences, because as well as the aforementioned reason, most poodle crosses look like what you'd expect: a cross between a poodle and a INSERT DOG BREED HERE. Plus, this will help with getting rid of smaller pages that could be merged into this page. -- Quadraxis 04:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Removed these from the article, as the images were stacking up to be taller than the text. Zetawoof( ζ) 06:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Okay wow, this article has some of the silliest words ever thought up. Just sayin'.

Hi, the link given in the registration paragraph seems to me a bit suspicious, more like a private enterprise than a recognized dog registry, they only give a PO box as address for example. Opinions? ( SybilleY ( talk) 15:02, 18 March 2011 (UTC))
This article is a natural fit for List of dog crossbreeds. I am proposing a redirect. The context fits much better there than Dog crossbreeds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.183.144.120 ( talk) 23:28, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
