16 Adorable Poodle Mixes We Can't Get Enough Of

Can you make a poodle cuter? Probably not. But you can combine the poodle's curly-haired good looks with the fluffball appeal of a Pomeranian or the lean elegance of a Dalmatian. Perhaps you prefer the sheer size of a Bernedoodle, a pup that's half poodle and half Bernese mountain dog. Luckily, there are dozens of adored poodle mixes.

A poodle mix, also called a doodle, is any dog that's crossed with a poodle and another purebred dog. The poodle can be standard, miniature, or toy-sized. Choosing the cutest doodle is a bit like finding the nicest flower in a bouquet of stunners. They can all steal your heart. Yet, at second glance, you may start to notice features that make one dog stand out. It could be a human-like glance or an infectiously jolly bout of zoomies. These 16 adorable poodle mixes we can't get enough of range from playful cockapoo puppies to weimardoodles in colorful birthday hats.

A lazy afternoon suits Mr. Panda perfectly

Sometimes, you just want to sprawl out on the couch and relax. Mr. Panda the sheepadoodle understands the feeling. Sheepadoodles often buzz with energy gifted from their old English sheepdog lineage, yet their lazy moments are just as adorable. Mr Panda's family posted a YouTube video showing the massive, black-and-white dog dozing on a couch with his long legs hanging off the edge. As the camera approaches, Mr. Panda looks up with a cute and sleepy expression.

One viewer commented, "Panda, looks like you are having a lazy day, buddy!" Another focused on the sheepadoodle's ruffled hair, writing, "You got bed hair." Doodles often have plenty of curly or wavy hair to run your fingers through. Their hair is prized because it tends to be hypoallergenic and low-shedding. However, as you can see with shaggy Mr. Panda, these dogs have high grooming needs. Fortunately, learning how to groom a poodle mix is easy. 

With Polly around, everyday chores become unexpectedly funny

Cockapoos have won over their legions of fans with their charm. They're teddy-bear cute and can be even sweeter than their poodle and cocker spaniel parents. Cockapoo owners learn about these traits naturally; everyone else can just watch Polly. In a YouTube video, she pops up in a laundry basket, just like a merry jack-in-the-box. If her silly antics don't endear you, pay attention to her shaggy, richly golden fur and her big, expressive eyes.

The first cockapoo was born in the 1960s, making it one of the oldest designer poodle mixes. Since the 60s, these dogs have wiggled their way into hearts and homes around the world. Polly's in the perfect environment for a cockapoo. Her YouTube channel shows the puppy living in a house full of energetic kids. Cockapoos can thrive in many setups, but their warm nature is especially well-suited to family life.

Chaos becomes charming whenever Maisy gets involved

Tiny Maisy is literally bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in this post-walk picture, with her pink harness and leash adding extra visual interest. You wouldn't be surprised if Maisy were actually at a photoshoot for adorable dogs. She's a schnoodle, a cross between a miniature poodle and a miniature schnauzer. Like most schnoodles, she has the energy of a ready-made best friend prepared to love everyone around her. Schnoodles are lovers, not fighters, even though purebred schnauzers have watchdog tendencies. In schnoodles, those habits soften into loving devotion.

Mini schnoodles look like gentle lapdogs. However, they have far too much natural energy to be content relaxing all day. Maisy's Instagram page describes her as a "chaotic zoomie queen." You can glimpse a bit of the chaos in this silly video of Maisy demolishing a dog bed. She tears joyfully into the fabric, with bits of white fluff surrounding her.

Ozzo makes even simple moments feel animated

Ozzo's so cute he's practically a cartoon character. He has huge, soulful eyes and a jolly smile paired with fluffy golden curls. But Ozzo's biggest appeal is his goldendoodle personality. Golden retrievers are affectionate love bugs, and so are goldendoodles. Poodles add a heightened intelligence to the mix. A viral TikTok video featuring Ozzo explains a few of his biggest and most beloved goldendoodle quirks. Did you know that these sensitive pups crave constant attention? Or that they can turn zoomies into an all-day affair?

Goldendoodles might be the most popular dogs in the doodle bunch. Their happy-go-lucky attitude and goofy sense of play are perpetually appealing. They're also capable working dogs. Charles Dickens' granddaughter, Monica Dickens, bred goldendoodles as guide dogs in the 1960s. They were popular because people with dog allergies could be around them. Today, they've morphed into treasured family dogs like Ozzo.

Warmth flows from Bentley

What happens if you take a feisty Irish farm dog like the soft coated wheaten terrier and give it the grace and intelligence of a poodle? You end with Bentley, the happiest whoodle on the internet. In this poolside photo, Bentley's face expresses pure, unadulterated joy. He's basking in sunlight and attention with an open-mouthed smile that's brighter than the yellow towel he's lying on.

Whoodles are boisterously happy dogs, so Bentley's sweet contentment is not a big surprise. Those who love whoodles know that they're spunky little companions with a lot of love and personality to share. Vicki, a member of Facebook's Oodles of Whoodles group, said, "They're life changing...honestly! They give so much love to their person." Another group member added, " They are the best dogs." Bentley's fans are just as enthusiastic. His Instagram account is stuffed with praise and gushing comments about the bright and sunny pup.

Tobi can launch into action with an unstoppable spirit

Tobi is part poodle, part dachshund, and all sweetheart. A popular TikTok video with hundreds of comments reveals just how cute he can be. He's dressed in a fuzzy cowboy vest and romping on the pavement. There's a bit of dachshund glee in his eyes, but he doesn't have the famously long body. He almost looks like a little terrier, especially when he's bursting with wild energy and excitement.

Doxiepoos have compact frames, so it's easy to think that they'll slide into contented lapdog life. Yet, these little dogs can bounce around for hours. It's like they have hidden springs in their bodies. Tobi's happy jumps are a good depiction of doxiepoo behavior. These dogs love to play and be the center of attention. Additional videos on Tobi's account show the charmer exploring his world and playing with his many toys.

Tucker embraces outdoor adventures with total freedom

If goldendoodles are the most popular poodle mix, labradoodles might be a close second. As you can guess from the name, the Labrador retriever is key to this crossbreed. Labradoodles get a healthy dose of intelligence from both parents, as well as a deep craving for companionship. Luckily for Freddie the labradoodle, he's surrounded by love (and over 20,000 Instagram fans).

In this photo, Tucker's happiness is written all over his face. Just look at that pink tongue sticking out! He looks like he's ready for endless pets and snuggles — and he probably gets them. Tucker's life is Instagram-perfect. He lives in San Diego, so he's constantly pictured at the beach, racing over the sand, and lounging near the waves. It's a lifestyle worthy of a famous influencer. Tucker doesn't need such gorgeous surroundings to shine, however — a labradoodle can have a blast anywhere. 

Cashew has an unusual take on the barista role

Hi, it's Cashew, your neighborhood barista! Cavapoos tend to be gentle lap dogs, but in this YouTube video, Cashew is ready to work. He's the coffee shop's cutest employee in his green, mock Starbucks apron. One of his fans commented, "That dog already has a job; he is the manager and coordinator of cuteness." Cashew doesn't need an apron to keep that job, however. He has floppy ears, a button nose, and enviably silky curls.

Cavapoos are ultra-affectionate because they're part Cavalier King Charles spaniel, and cavaliers are notorious Velcro dogs. They can happily cling to their people all day. With cavapoos like Cashew, the puppyish clinging seems natural. Cavapoos are forever puppies; they look like young, cheerful dogs their entire lives. Cashew turned four in 2025, and his family posted photos on Instagram comparing his first birthday look with his latest one. His coat's changed colors over the years, and he's not quite so shaggy; however, the youthful look remains.

Camera-ready poses seem effortless for Stormi

Stormi's model-like appearance grabs your attention at once. There's her lustrous black coat with its gentle waves and curls, and the hair on her face is so thick that it gives her cheeks a full and almost rounded look. It's easy to fall in love with her shining eyes, too, or the easy grace she displays in her sweatshirt on Instagram. She wears clothes like it's natural for her. Stormi is a Yorkiepoo, a creature with Yorkshire terrier and poodle blood running through her veins.

Yorkiepoos were intentionally created around 20 to 30 years ago and quickly became popular. Pet parents seek them out for their minuscule size and overflowing hearts. Yorkiepoos can love everyone who enters their orbit, including other cats and dogs. Popular Instagram photos posted by Stormi's owner show her having fun with many different people. She's a cuddlebug who's clearly happiest around others.

A room suddenly shrinks when Rio stretches out

No one can call Rio little. The puppy is barely one year old, and he's already bigger than most of the dogs on this list. When he sprawls out on the floor next to his Buc-ee's Beaver toy, he's long and shaggy enough to be a rug. Rio is a bernedoodle. His parents were a standard poodle and a Bernese mountain dog. This is the doodle you get when you want a furry hiking partner or a tireless romping buddy for your kids. They're big, bold, and super fluffy.

Rio's floppy tongue is almost as noticeable as his size. His owner, Gabby, posted an Instagram carousel captioned, "He discovered his tongue, and now it's in every pic." It might be a classic bernedoodle trait, as one commentator said, "Our 7-month-old bernedoodle does the exact same!" For Rio, sticking his tongue out seems to be a sign of happiness.

Head tilts become an art form in Moose's world

Thousands of people loved this TikTok video of puppy Moose cocking his head from side to side. He's the picture of pure innocence. However, don't be fooled into thinking he must be as docile as a cavapoo. Moose is an aussiedoodle, a cross between a poodle and an active Australian shepherd. These cuties aren't for the faint of heart. They pair intelligence with an intense desire for movement. As Aussiedoodles grow up, they'll need to exercise for hours every day to stay healthy.

Despite the name, Australian Shepherds were originally bred to be American ranch dogs. They worked alongside ranchers and helped corral livestock. Aussiedoodles that inherit this working drive will be like Energizer bunnies. If an aussiedoodle inherits more poodle genes, its exercise demands might not be as extreme. Moose's owner Anna has been documenting his growth on TikTok — he's now a fully-grown ausiedoodle that looks more like his poodle parent.

Pepper explores winter landscapes with lively curiosity

Pepper's Dalmatian roots announce themselves loud and clear in her beautiful black spots. Anyone who looks at her might call her a fuzzy Dalmatian. Her long, fuzzy coat keeps her from passing as a purebred, however. She's a dalmadoodle. A short clip posted to YouTube shows Pepper morphed into a regal snow queen. She's standing in a few inches of fresh white snow with more snow dusting her face.

Dalmadoodles are another on-the-go breed. Their long legs need to stretch and move throughout the day. Most of Pepper's YouTube videos show her playing exuberantly in a backyard and digging into puzzle toys. Her first time playing in the snow was also captured in a video. Instead of a dignified dalmadoodle snow queen, you see an excited puppy bouncing around the powdery snow. At one point, she even makes a snow angel by jumping from one side to the other.

Nobody wears a Halloween costume like Roni

Roni seems to know that she looks cute in her penguin costume. That's why she poses so perfectly in the YouTube video capturing her Halloween look. She plants her little paws on the floor and looks straight at the camera, exactly as a real model would. That confidence is one of the traits that draws people toward maltipoos like Roni. Of course, the photoshoot needs to be quick. When Roni's done, she simply walks away. A maltipoo's Maltese parent can give it a lot of sass.

The maltipoo's poodle side often comes out when it's time for training. Like most doodles, maltipoos can be very smart. A commenter in Reddit's r/Maltipoo claimed their dog "knows how to approach and exploit the weaknesses of everyone in our extended family." You can believe it if you look at Roni's puppy-dog eyes. Who wants to say no to that face?

Piper loves to celebrate his birthday in style

Piper's glowing in his birthday photos on TikTok. His pale blonde and tan coat blends wonderfully with the beige covering he's lying on. The birthday hat, bandana, and colorful confetti add bright pops of visual interest. It's a professional-quality shot that showcases Piper's weimardoodle beauty. Weimardoodles have poodles and Weimaraners for parents. The breeding lottery can throw up any trait that exists between the breeds. Yet, many Weimardoodles inherit the Weimaraner's insatiable energy and mischievous habits. Piper's owner chose @hyper.piper27 for his TikTok handle, a nod to Piper's active ways.

There are currently only a handful of videos featuring Piper online, and he never moves past the puppy stage. That you means you never get a true idea of his impressive bulk. Weimardoodles are giants in the doodle world, and can weigh up to 70 pounds. They almost never appear bulky, however, unless they're overweight. These are lean canines.

Maisie doesn't mind the windy weather messing with her hair

Shih-poos are vivacious little pooches with an obvious zest for life. The ideal shih-poo mix balances the poodle's cleverness with the Shih Tzu's zany sense of play. Maisie's beaming face and wind-blown hair prove that Shih-poos can add beauty to their list of breed traits, too. The wind gives Maisie's hair a slight curl so it almost appears as though it's styled in a human bob.

Maisie has the look of a dog that would do anything you say. However, shih-poos are notoriously stubborn and hard to train. They make up for it with their eternally merry mood. Despite their stubbornness, they never want to be alone. Shih Tzus have been lapdogs for centuries. Poodles are slightly more independent, but still highly affectionate. Bringing these two gene groups together is likely to result in a dog that needs attention all day.

A treat request can trigger Ollie's mini dance routine

Some dogs expect treats for nothing. Ollie's willing to dance for his goodies! This picture, posted on TikTok, reveals his happy dance. Like all party animals, he's up on his feet and waving his arms like he just doesn't care. Ollie's a typical chipoo. His non-poodle parent is a Chihuahua. Interestingly, this mix brings together the national dogs of two countries. The chihuahua represents Mexico, while the poodle is the canine symbol of France.

Other videos on Ollie's TikTok page provide a peek into his day-to-day life. Doodle mixes aren't recognized by the American Kennel Club, so there are no breed standards. There are only generalizations about what most chipoos are like. Ollie fits most of the stereotypes: he's a dream chipoo that's diminutive, bubbly, and just a tiny bit sassy. He's also lovely, with his pure ebony coat and perky tail. Your mood might lift when you look at him.
