The hidden poodle traits
This discussion is for identifying the hidden poodle traits that shape the dogs we so love. For reference, I've added a few links to the breed standards of poodles, goldens, and labs.
For example, one of the traits of a poodle is potential shyness or timidness with strangers, whereas the golden standard says that goldens have no fear of strangers. Well, Angel is a bit shy, especially with men. Is this due to the fact that she's a puppy or that part of her genes are poodle genes?
You be the judge. And add more qualities of your own dogs. It'll be interesting to see how they compare. =0)

My Mac the Labradoodle barks like a poodle... not terribly obnoxious, but sometimes more than I would like for her to bark. However, she never meets a stranger and love everyone!
My new 14 week old goldendoodle seems to be very shy with strangers and I, too, wonder if that will change as she matures! -

Interesting.
Our goldendoodle is basically a black golden retriever. He doesn't look anything like a poodle or a curlydoodle.
He has all of the traits that the golden retriever link described. He LOVES people and other dogs and has absolutely no timidness or shyness. He rarely barks.
His mother was a huge black standard poodle but I never met the golden retriever male.
I'm hoping he picked up the poodles smarts but thats about it, lol.
