Labradoodles have a unique non-shedding fleece coat, which is perfect for those with allergies. Their gentle temperament makes them great for those with young children. Perry recommends these and other Poodle hybrids because they come in several different sizes (miniature, medium and standard) to accommodate different family's tastes.
If purebreds aren't quite doing it for you, consider adding a perfectly-tailored hybrid canine to your clan. Now, meet your new best friend. By Kayla Miller, REDBOOK.
