Kel, loved your site! Your doodle personality observations are right on.
By the way, my husband used to feel the same way about poodles because you stereotypically see them all poodly groomed. He didn't find this to be manly enough---even when said with a deep voice. Now he proudly proclaims Chester to be half Lab half Standard Poodle...I think adding the Standard part increase the manliness factor.

Like the automatically picture a Lab in a teacup poodle then wonder how that even worked!

Since I've become Labradoodle obsessed I've really noticed Poodles more and have come to really admire them. Although I'm still not all the wild about the over poodly look some of them are groomed to.
