what do you get when you cross it with a dog painted like a tiger?

Poodles are ranked within the top 5 most intelligent of dog breeds. Maybe the poodles you’ve met were bored and needed a job. Smarter breeds need to be challenged.

If you walked the area around the zoo you would understand. It’s all pretty low-income housing and the folks are the brightest and best Norfolk has to offer.

Poodles were originally hunting dogs.

The more euphonious term poodledor exists. I do not know whether it is interchangeable with labradoodle or describes the opposite male/female mix like liger and tiglon.
Then again pulchritude is an ugly word.

Only a few days ago I was watching film of a juvenile leopard, which had just been abandoned by its mother to fend for itself, trying to stalk a wathog with its tail stuck up in the air high above any cover provided by the surrounding grass. Maybe it was just young and inexperienced.

Getting confused for a lion is probably what made Snoop Dogg change his name

Close up dog? Far away lion? Get some perspective!

You can actually get a “lion cut” for a poodle and we were walking ours in the park one day and a toddle walked by and said “it’s a baby lion!”

But it was nothing as impressive as that labra thing up there.

“Human Being” is kind of sweet, if a bit self important, and a more appropriate comparison.

I suffer from a failure of imagination? Tell my friend here. He thinks you are funny.

timquinn isn’t made up by some dog breeder with bad taste, either.

You suffer from a failure of imagination. We could cross a Labrador with a Whippet and call it a Labrat.

“Labradoodle” is the name of the breed – what ya gonna do? (And, really, how beautiful is “timquinn”?)

the word I have not yet totally spelled out because it is so ugly.

timquinn — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:54:00 +0000

It’s an ugly word.

Get in line, though, if you want to tell me to stop being sensitive. Take a number.

I’m trying to pre-shark-jump the word, ’cause I hate it.

It’s just descriptive of something descended from a Labrador Retriever, as far as I can tell. Stop being so sensitive.

I just can’t figure out how you could realistically confuse this dog for a lion so badly. There are just so many simple, obvious tells to reinforce the common sense thought of “no, that can’t REALLY be a lion, this isn’t the Savanna for crying out loud.”

Lions and big cats have very specific movements and behaviors that are not at all like those of a dog. Lions don’t wag their tails, or walk with them raised. Lions are HUMONGOUS, especially males old enough to have manes. Lions are heavy and purposeful, not spry and nimble. I just… ugh.

Every single poodle I’ve ever met has been been aggresive and hyperactive. Either there is something wrong with the breed, or something wrong with the owners, I can’t say which.

Even as a lion toy, he looks like he came from the dollar store.

Three separate people called 911. Three. All apparently under the impression that lions look like stuffed toys and that baby lions have manes.

We passed a black bear in the west-bound lanes[1] on the parkway downtown and initially mistook it for some kind of big dog… until we passed it and I got a good look at its head from 2 feet away. But most of that was pure denial (“No way there’s a bear this far into the city!” – “I don’t think dogs legs bend like that…” )

[1] Both we, and the bear, were in the west bound lanes – it in the slow lane, us in the fast lane. I’ve given up trying to compose that sentence clearly.
