A lot of designer dog breeders use the poodle to create the new breed.
Here is information about why the poodle is chosen.
THE MOST INTELLIGENT POODLE.
The Poodle is commonly acknowledged to be the most wisely intelligent of all members of the canine race. There is a general belief that he is a fop, whose time is largely occupied in personal embellishment, and that he requires a great deal of individual attention. It may be true that to keep him in exhibition order and perfect cleanliness his owner has need to devote more consideration to him than is necessary in the case of many breeds; but in other respects he gives very little trouble, and all who are attached to him are consistent in their opinion that there is no dog so intensely interesting and responsive as a companion.
The profuse and long coat of this dog has the peculiarity that if not kept constantly brushed out it twists up into little cords which increase in length as the new hair grows and clings about it. At the same time, this coat needs to be trimmed as it is considered non-shedding. This is a real advantage to a poodle owner, as there are no hairs shed around the house like other breeds.
The poodle's qualities of mind and his acute powers of reasoning are indeed so great that there is something almost human in his attractiveness and his devotion. His aptitude in learning is never denied, and many are the stories told of his marvelous talent and versatility.
Not merely as a showman's dog has he distinguished himself. He is something more than a mountebank of the booths, trained to walk the tight rope and stand on his head. He is an adept at performing tricks, but it is his alertness of brain that places him apart from other animals.
Poodle's General appearance
---------------------------
Head: Long, straight, and fine, the skull not broad, with a slight peak at the back.
Muzzle: Long (but not snippy) and strong not full in cheek; teeth white, strong, and level; gums black, and lips black.
Eyes: Almond shaped, very dark, full of fire and intelligence.
Nose: Black and sharp.
Ears: The leather long and wide, low set on, hanging close to the face.
Neck: Well proportioned and strong, to admit of the head being carried high and with dignity.
Feet: Rather small, and of good shape, the toes well arched, pads thick and hard.
Legs: Fore-legs set straight from shoulder, with plenty of bone and muscle.
Hind-legs: Very muscular and well bent, with the hocks well let down.
Tail: Set on rather high, well carried, never curled or carried over back.
Coat: Very profuse, and of good hard texture; if corded, hanging in tight, even cords; if non-corded, very thick and strong, of even length, the curls close and thick, without knots or cords.

Yorkie-Poo Puppy (non-shedding)
Country of Origin: The Yorki Poo (also known as a Yorkie Poo, Yorkipoo, or Yorkie Doodle) is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Poodle. Poodle crossbreeds are meant to produce a dog with mixed traits and the Poodle’s signature nonshedding coat. As a crossbreed, the Yorki Poo is not eligible for registration with purebred registries such as the American Kennel Club, but it can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club, as ‘Yorkie Poo’. The Yorki Poo is not considered a purebred because it doesn’t ‘breed true’, meaning that it doesn’t display a consistent set of characteristics. Like other ‘designer breeds’, the Yorki Poo has seen a recent surge in popularity. Some breeders produce Yorki Poos by crossing a purebred Poodle with a purebred Yorkshire Terrier (called a first generation cross), but others allow crossing Yorki Poos with Poodles or Yorkshire Terriers (called a backcross), or with other Yorki Poos (called a multi-generation cross). Different crosses can result in different characteristics.
Size: The Yorki Poo has an average shoulder height of 7-12 in (18-30 cm) and weighs 4-15 lbs (2-7 kg). The Yorki Poo can have the long, narrow snout of the Poodle or the small, flat head of the Yorkshire Terrier. Yorki Poos can have straight ‘Poodle tails’ or the high carried tail of the Yorkie.
Coat: The Yorki Poo can have a long, straight, silky coat like the Yorkshire Terrier, a fine frizzy, wooly coat like the Poodle, or anything in between. Yorki Poos come in a wide variety of colors, such as brown, silver, grey, and white. Many are two-toned in a pattern similar to the Yorkshire Terrier, with a cream or chestnut body, legs, and mask, and grey or silver on the collar, top of the head, and ears. The Yorki Poo usually sheds little, making it a great breed for allergy sufferers.
Character: The Yorki Poo is energetic, happy, brave, and intelligent. It is alert, loving, cheerful, and very clever. Yorki Poos make great watchdogs. The Yorki Poo wants to be involved in family activity. It makes a great companion. Yorki Poos are fairly active, but not as hyper as some other small breeds. The Yorki Poo is not mischievous but can occasionally be stubborn.
Temperament: The Yorki Poo gets along well with strangers, children, dogs, and other pets. Socialization when young is recommended. Young children should be supervised around the Yorki Poo to ensure they treat it respectfully.
Care: Brush the Yorki Poo weekly and bathe as needed. Keep its hair trimmed out of ears and eyes. The Yorki Poo has a lifespan of up to 15 years. Like other hybrids, Yorki Poos tend to have fewer health problems than purebreds (known as ‘hybrid vigor’). Potential problems are hypoglycemia (particularly for puppies), musculoskeletal problems, and eye problems such as distichia and cataracts. Yorki Poos under 3 pounds are especially susceptible to diarrhea, vomiting, tracheal collapse, anesthesia sensitivity, and injury.
Training: The Yorki Poo is highly trainable and has a high desire to please. It can easily learn a wide variety of amusing tricks. The Yorki Poo is easier to housetrain than a purebred Yorkshire Terrier.
Activity: The Yorki Poo does not require a lot of exercise. Most of its exercise requirements can be met through indoor activity, but Yorki Poos love going on walks with their owner and regular play time outdoors, and have enough stamina to come alongside for a longer jog. The Yorki Poo is well suited to apartment life.

Naming Your Puppy
What an honor that has been bestowed upon you! You get to name this new little puppy you have just brought home. You are under much pressure to come up with a name that is not too cute, not too frilly, and something that will fit the animal's personality. Oh the pressure of a name.
You could go with a classic like Fido or Fifi. These names never go out of style unless you have kids who want a hip name.
You can also use you favorite movie star or country singer, mythical figures, presidents, and family members. The sky is the limit.
Some suggestions for choosing a name:
* You will be calling him for the next fifteen year by this name. So pick something you really like.
* Usually one to three syllables is good for a name. It can get cumbersome to call out a long name every time. There are dogs though that have three names just like a child. Keep it simple and not too complex.
* Always use the puppy's name when you speak to him or praise him. When he hears it next, he will come running because he knows that it's his special word.
Don't name the puppy something that will embarrass you or others when you have to call him in public.
Take time to play with the puppy and get to know him before choosing a moniker for the pup. You may name her and find out later that it doesn't fit. Give it a few days to a week and see what you think then. Ask for advice from family and friends. Have a Name The Puppy party and give a prize to the person whose name you chose. There are all kinds of names out there. Just find one that fits your dog and makes you happy.http://doggytidbits.blogspot.com/

Care of Dogs that are Hypoallergenic for Humans
www.designerdogsandpups.blogspot.com
Hypoallergenic dog breeds have special needs because they are usually smaller in size and have temperaments that may be difficult to handle sometimes. When you first bring your new dog home, you should allow it to roam around to get an idea of its surroundings. If you have other pets, you should put them in another room while the dog is investigating the area. Depending on the breed of dog, they may be very scared at first. They may not want much human contact, so you should be careful about handling them too much during the first few days they are in your home.
Once you new dog becomes comfortable, you should develop a feeding and hair brushing routine that you and your dog will follow. If you have allergies, brushing your dog every day will reduce the amount of allergens in the air. This will reduce the allergens on your carpets, furniture, clothing, and walls. Buy a steel comb with wide teeth that will help trap hair and get out any knots that may be in the dog’s fur. If you purchased a Mexican hairless or other breed that does not have hair, you should make sure that its skin is not dry. If you notice flaking, you should visit your vet who will prescribe medication or lotion that you can use.
Making sure your hypoallergenic dog gets plenty of exercise is important for their health and also for controlling allergens in your home. Walking your dog at least once a day and making sure it sleeps through the night will keep the dog on a routine. Dogs that are awake at night time may want to be with you. Allowing your dog to sleep on your bed could increase your risk of an allergy attack.
Your dog should have a designated place to sleep during the night and during the day. Buying a soft bed or giving the dog an old blanket will help keep them warm and safe when they are sleeping. You should wash their pet bed often to prevent allergens from being transferred to carpeting or clothing. While you cannot prevent all allergens from getting into your clothing and inside your carpeting, you can reduce them by keeping everything in your home clean.
Dog grooming is also important when caring for a hypoallergenic dog. Even though the breed that you buy will probably have short hair, you will have to have it professionally groomed every few months to maintain the shape and also to keep the hair from becoming too long. Since hair can grow long and cover the dog’s eyes, and make it difficult for the dog to keep itself clean, grooming your dog will ensure that it remains healthy and happy.
Now that you know more about caring for a hypoallergenic dog, you should remember that just because these dogs are considered a good choice for those with allergies, these dogs may still cause you to have allergy attacks from time to time. Hypoallergenic dogs reduce the risk of attacks, but cannot prevent them from occurring.
