Hypoallergenic Dogs
It's all about the fur!
One of the main reason Doodle Dogs have gained such popularity is because some of them are hypoallergenic. So if you or a member of your family are allergic to dogs, you may not be allergic to a Doodle: and that includes Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Bordoodles, or any other breed of dog that has been crossbred with poodles. There are two Cockapoo puppies shown below. They are sisters, but one is "furnished" and the other is not. The unfurnished puppy will NOT be hypoallergenic.
A "Furnished" F1 Doodle
When this puppy grows up, it will likely have wavy or curly fur that will continue to grow and will need to be cut/trimmed. It will be low shedding and therefore somewhat hypoallergenic. So if you have mild allergic reactions to dogs, you will be fine living with this dog. This puppy's older brother is Ranger. He was a furnished puppy just like this one.

An "Unfurnished" F1 Doodle
This puppy has an unfurnished snout. See the straight/smooth/flat fur on its nose. It will likely grow up to have relatively straight hair, maybe even wavy hair: but it's hair WILL SHED. On the positive side, it's grooming needs will be less demanding.
