The poodle might be the most crossbred dog in modern times. There’s the labradoodle, goldendoodle and bernedoodle. And also cavapoos, cockapoos and maltipoos. What began as a match between a labrador and poodle to create a seeing eye dog that shed less has now become a billion dollar industry. While dog breeds go in and out of fashion, the doodle seems here to stay even while shelters are urging Americans to adopt, not design dogs.
Guests:
John Seabrook, staff writer, The New Yorker - his most recent piece is "How Doodles Became the Dog Du Jour"
Danika Bannasch, associate dean of research and professor, UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine
Laurie Routhier, CEO, Muttville - a senior dog rescue
