you say their is a demand for doodles ,but is there? , its not about putting anyone down IMO. i've never owned either breed so no axe to grind, There's a "breeder" of these crosses local to me advertising 4 litters of this type of cross if there was a demand why the need to advertise?
What utter rubbish! IMO---having owned and trained several different breeds springers (and staffies) are easily THE most intelligent. Poodles not far behind. Most spaniels are more intelligent than their owners which is why the owners think they are NOT intelligent! rune
