They are breeding doodles smaller and smaller for the niche market. I've seen a lot of Australian doodles at the Square that are quite small, around 30 lbs. Yesterday I saw a cute red doodle that was golden/poodle/irish setter. I love doodles. But it's hard to believe mixed breeds used to be mutts, and now they're designer dogs.
