Being a cross between different varieties of dog (Labrador and Poodle, of course), they don't breed "true", which makes some people trying to make a profit that way very disappointed. Portmanteau names for dogs we would once have called mongrels have become popular as a way of legitimising such crosses so that more can be charged for them. A friend of mine has a "CockerPoo" which they paid too much for, and I have a "Sprollie" which was sold perfectly reasonably by the farmer who didn't want his son to leave his working Springer Spaniel and Collie in together that night...

How about a Poogle?

Yeah, if there's a pun in there, I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.

'Labradoodle' is the unofficial but commonly-used name for a Labrador/Standard Poodle cross. It's hardly a well-known name or breed, I'll grant you.

Das also war des Pudels Kern...

Give me a mutt any day over something bred "pure" to suit some human purpose.
