Just when you think you have seen it all! Ever heard of this "doodle"?

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

Just when you think you have seen it all! I was in PetsMart this morning and there was a lady in the leash aisle with me with this very weird looking thing dog. It caught my eye because it had a doodly type coat but it was very long and just bizarre looking. It seems friendly so I of course have to chat up the lady to see what this thing dog was. I asked her if she knew what mix she was (assuming that this couldn't possibly been an intentional breeding) and she "of course I do, it's a weeniedoodle" - and said in a tone like I was the stupidest person in the world for asking this - all the while I am trying not to laugh after hearing the words "weenie and doodle" together! She went on to say it was a standard poodle and standard dachshund and she just loved weiner dogs but the last few she had were very prone to back problems and she felt this was the "perfect" mix. She said she had to search everywhere for a reputable breeder. All I could say was "oh wow - uh huh - oh - uh huh". It really brought new meaning to "there is a weenie born every minute" I couldn't even find a Google photo that resembled this trainwreck weeniedoodle. What's next? Hey maybe they will cross those designer chickens Joanne was talking about with poodles and they could be a cockadoodle :-)

Now I like that idea of a cockadoodle.  Weeniedoodle is funny too.  Everyone wants a part of a poodle.  That is what we started with and have been very happy to find some dogs that were great mixes.  But I'm happy to just leave it to the breeders to see what they can come up with.  But you can think of plenty of names for that combo.  Poohund?  Dauchsoodle?
