Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
(back cover)
In the 1980s an Australian dog breeder decided to cross the gentle, friendly Labrador with the intelligent, low-shedding Poodle to produce a guide dog suitable for allergy sufferers. It was a very successful example of planned and logical crossbreeding, and since then, "designer dogs" have been in great demand.
As well as the popular Labradoodle, Hot Dogs! takes a look at the wide range of modern "crossbreeds" available, such as Cockapoos, Goldendoodles, Schnoodles, Puggles, Pekapoos, Cavachons, and Yorkiepoos. This book is a practical guide to choosing the dog that meets your special needs (including dogs that love working with people, dogs of all sizes that are good with children, and low-shedding dogs for indoors) and caring for it. Find a special breed that's right for you and your family.

Hot Dogs: Fourteen of the Top Designer Dogs,

This review is from: Hot Dogs: Fourteen of the Top Designer Dogs (Paperback)
Great pictures, and just enough information to give an informed idea to make a decision. The Goldendoddle was the star of the book, how handsome and he works as well!

Excellent Resource Book on Mixed Breed Dogs,
By Thoughtful Parent (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hot Dogs: Fourteen of the Top Designer Dogs (Paperback)
This a fantastic resource for anyone interested in a dog like a goldendoodle, labradoodle, schnoodle, puggle, cockapoo or other mixed breed dog (14 in total are described). The book describes the general behavior of the dog, activity level, how much they tend to bark, how they are with children, how trainable they are, the usual appearance of the dog, typical sizes, types of health issues common to that particular dog mix and other helpful information. Each description of the dogs is accompanied by multiple color photos. It has an excellent explanation of different breeding terms like F1, F1b, F2 and mixed generations (which comes up a lot when purchasing a mixed breed dog and is essential to understand so you understand what you are getting). I found this extremely useful and would highly recommend it. For purebred dog info I'd recommend the "Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds" by D. Caroline Coile.
