“As we’ve seen dog ownership go up overall, we’ve also seen a huge increase in doodle dogs specifically.” “There’s pretty much any combo you can think of these days,” says Shelby Semel, a New York City–based canine-behavior expert and trainer. Popular combos include the Labradoodle (Labrador retriever and poodle), the goldendoodle (golden retriever and poodle), the Bernedoodle (Bernese mountain dog and poodle), the sheepadoodle (sheepdog and poodle), the Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles spaniel and poodle), and the Australian Labradoodle (Labrador retriever, poodle, and cocker spaniel). (For the record: I, too, love them and may or may not secretly want one, because I am human.)Ī “doodle” is a dog that is part purebred poodle, part something else. A button-nosed stuffed animal en vivo! The modern-farmhouse look of dog breeds: approachable, easygoing, bougie. Look around the park, the farmers’ market, the sidelines of the suburban soccer field - anywhere, really it’s impossible not to notice that they’re everywhere and there are so many of them. An entirely adorable invasive species, if you will. A floppy-haired, cinnamon-colored cockapoo (that’s a cocker spaniel and poodle mix) who happens to look remarkably like a Pickles, and a Cooper, and an Ozzie, and a Loki, and a Bronzely, and a Roti, and a Snoopy, and a Shelby, and a Winnie, and of course a Ginger - all real, similarly bred dogs belonging to my neighbors, who’ve brought them home seemingly simultaneously sometime within the past few years. Ruby is gentle, hopelessly friendly, and perpetually shaggy, but she’s hardly unique. You can find one-year-old Ruby Schwartz ambling along a certain stretch of Seventh Avenue in Park Slope each morning, greeting every person, place, and thing with a giant smile and a warm hug.
