Discover more about the unique quirks of these 62 Poodle mixes – and why they’re some of dogdom’s most popular mixed breeds.
62. Belgian Doodle: Belgian Malinois + Poodle
Belgian Doodles are a mix of the Standard Poodle and the Belgian Malinois. They are somewhat a rare mix but quite fascinating nonetheless. These canines look a lot like a Malinois but with a wavy coat and smaller build that rarely hits the scale at over 60 lbs.
Another interesting feature of the Belgian Doodle is that it does not shed as much as a purebred Malinois. So, it’s a great choice for Malinois fans who have allergies and can’t handle the shedding situation.
61. Pit Boodle: American Pitbull Terrier + Poodle
A unique combo of two popular breeds – the American Pitbull Terrier and the Poodle – the Pit Boodle is such a sweetheart. These medium-sized canines are usually under 50 lbs with a muscular body as a Pittie. They also inherit the Poodle’s fluffy coat, which comes in a range of colors.
Perfect for highly active folks, the Pit Boodle is an enjoyable companion for your outdoor adventures. They are always game for anything – even hours of cuddles and naps by your side.
60. Ratoodle: Rat Terrier + Poodle
Ratoodles are very much like the Rat Terrier but with a bit of waves and curls on their coats. These fellows usually have brown and white coat colors while others are tricolored, combining the gorgeous shades of tan, white, and black.
Although they are a bit small at 15 lbs, Ratoodles are exceptional watch dogs. No intruder can go past their alert and watchful eye. These are fiercely loyal pooches that are always ready to protect their family and their properties.
59. Sheltiedoodle: Shetland Sheepdog + Poodle
Another small Poodle mix, the Sheltiedoodle is a 20-pounder pooch that looks much like its Poodle parent but with a Sheltie’s typical brown, white, and black colors. Their snout is a bit shorter than a purebred Poodle and their big brown eyes are reminiscent of a Sheltie’s.
Sheltiedoodles are super affectionate pups that always long to be by their owner’s side. With that being said, they cannot handle hours of time alone and may develop separation anxiety as a result.
58. Vizsladoodle: Vizsla + Poodle
Coming from both hunter parents, the Vizsladoodle is the offspring of a Poodle and a Vizsla. These are large pups weighing around 40 to 60 lbs. They possess a Poodle’s tight curls, which comes in shades of dark brown and black.
First-time owners should have a relatively easy time training this pooch. They are naturally intelligent and obedient, which allows them to pick up new tricks quickly.
57. Foodle: Fox Terrier + Poodle
Foodles are lean, medium-sized pups weighing up to 40 lbs. They are often lean like their Fox Terrier parent but a low-shedder as a Poodle. Although they are not your hypoallergenic dog, they are pretty easy to care for. Just a bi-weekly grooming should suffice to keep their fluffy coats under control.
Because of their Terrier gene, Foodles have a strong prey drive. Give them a fenced yard where they can run around for hours on end and these canines are a happy camper!
56. Choodle: Chow Chow + Poodle

55. Tiboodle: Tibetan Terrier + Poodle
Tipping the scale at 20 lbs or under, Tiboodles are small Poodle mixes. They have long, wavy hair in different colors such as black, white, brown, or beige. Although their hair is long and fluffy, the Poodle gene keeps the shedding to a minimum.
As these pups have a lower energy level, they should be suitable for apartment living. They do well with children and smaller pets in the house. However, their calm nature makes them more prone to stress when their environment is chaotic.
54. Doodleman: Doberman + Poodle
The name may sound superhero-esque but Doodlemans are actually a cross between a Doberman and a Poodle. They basically look quite like a Doberman – facial features, stance, and body shape – but with the wavy coat of a Poodle. Most of them have black coats with some patches of brown.
These canines are well-balanced and mellow. They still possess a Doberman’s loyalty and bravery, as well as a tiny bit of a Poodle’s high energy level. But overall, they do well with people of all ages because of their versatile personality.

These delightful tiny fellows love to have fun. They thrive on physical activity, games, and a leisurely walk in the park. Plus, with their compact size, you can easily take them with you anywhere you go.
50. Froodle: French Bulldog + Poodle
Coming from both popular breeds – the French Bulldog and the Poodle – the Froodle is one of the most well-loved Poodle mixes. They have a compact and robust build as a Frenchie but with slightly wavy hair, which is not exactly similar to a Poodle’s full-on tight curls.
This is the kind of dog that always yearns to belong in all family activities. They love sports, games, and yep – they enjoy being on your lap, too! With their sweet and affectionate nature, they go perfectly well with families, singles, couples, and homes with other pets.
49. Chinese Crestepoo: Chinese Crested + Poodle

By nature, purebred Chinese Crested dogs are calm and mellow. But when mixed with the Poodle gene, they become a bit more energetic without being high-strung. They are also perfect with children because of their inherent patience.

This small pooch is the offspring of a Mini Poodle and a Cairn Terrier. Thus, you can expect to have a fluffy, affectionate lap dog in this tiny cuddlebug. They have hypoallergenic coats, as well, making them a good match for allergy sufferers.

46. Papipoo: Papillon + Poodle
Sporting a Papillon’s butterfly-like ears and a Poodle’s fluffy curls, the Papipoo is an entertaining, cuddly little pooch. They often come in shades of black and brown while others have a lighter coat color, too.
