34: Why Do People Hate Doodles? Understanding Anti-Doodle Bias & Bridging the Divide
The Doodle Pro® Podcast: Positive Training Tips for a Calm & Well-Behaved Doodle
01/31/23 • 17 min
🐾 Why do some people dislike Doodles? Where does the bias come from?
In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, we dive deep into the origin of anti-Doodle bias, the trends shaping public perception, and where I see Doodle mixes heading in the future.
Many Doodle parents encounter this bias from groomers, breed purists, and trainers, but why? We’ll explore:
✔️ The roots of Doodle hate and misconceptions
✔️ What groomers, trainers, and breed enthusiasts say about Doodles
✔️ The most common frustrations people have with Doodle mixes
✔️ How Doodle parents can navigate this bias
✔️ Why this conversation is an essential step toward Bridging the Doodle DivideTM

🔎 Important Correction (1/31/23):
In this episode, I used the colloquial meaning of hypoallergenic that many prospective Doodle parents assume means "allergen-free." However, this is inaccurate—no dog is truly allergen-free.
Scientifically, hypoallergenic means "less likely to cause allergies," which Poodles and some Doodle mixes do fit, but the general public often misinterprets this term.
