🐶 Discover the 16 Most Popular Types of Doodle Dogs: Which One Fits Your Lifestyle?

Doodle dogs — those lovable, curly-coated poodle mixes — have exploded in popularity over the last two decades. From Goldendoodles to Aussiedoodles, these hybrid breeds are adored for their intelligence, affectionate nature, and often hypoallergenic coats. But with so many types of doodles, how do you know which one is right for you?

Let’s break down what makes doodles so special, and explore 16 of the most popular types, so you can find your perfect pup.

💡 Why Choose a Doodle?

Doodles are typically the result of crossing a Poodle with another breed. The goal is to combine the Poodle’s smarts and low-shedding coat with the traits of another beloved breed — whether that’s the loyalty of a Labrador or the agility of an Australian Shepherd.

Most doodles are:

Highly intelligent 🧠
Energetic and playful 🎾
Great with families and kids 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Moderately to low-shedding, depending on the coat type

But don’t be fooled — not all doodles are alike. Each mix comes with unique traits you’ll want to consider.
