 * Delete. Non-notable random dog crossbreed. First reference was removed, but added back again, second just as unreliable, self-published and no secondary sources. We can't have an article on each and every dog breed cross. Hafspajen (talk) 02:27, 5 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge?: As noted on the article's talk page, there currently seems to be a shortage of independent RSs and/or hard data on this subject. Perhaps a merge with the general Dog crossbreeds article may be in order, at least until the situation improves. Ceannlann gorm (talk) 12:13, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Can't notice any reason to merge. A designer crossbreed had a rational from the beginning, like in 1950, and that was creating an  allergen-free guide dog.  They started as a  try to get a dog that is hypoallergenic and would work as a service dog.
 * That was the Labradoodle. It had a function, the non-shed hair of the Poodle and the intelligence and willingness of a Labrador to help. It had a purpose. Later there was a try to make an equally functional cross-breed - a companion dog for people who were allergic, Cockapoo. The Cockapoo had the lovable temperament of the Cocker and the  the non-shed hair of the Poodle. Ever since then people stated a no-reason-at all- cross-trend of crossing everything with everything. This cross is not currently  recognized as a breed in it's own right, is not even vaguely close to being a "breed" -and really it has no really advantage in crossing those two. Irish Setter is a healthy breed, no real problems anywhere, no rationale to create a cross, and  has a very different purpose and no real advantages occur as a breed when crossing with Poodle.

 * I don't see any point to merging either; to list every permutation of cross breed under Dog crossbreeds would set an unhealthy precedent. Irish doodle just does not meet the notability requirements. SagaciousPhil  - Chat 13:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
