Rare German Shepherd-Doodle Is Like a Fluffy Cinnamon Roll With Legs
You can make a Doodle out of literally anything. The only requirement is that you cross whatever other breed with a Poodle, and the possibilities are basically endless. Doodles are extremely common these days, especially breeds like the Goldendoodle, Bernedoodle, and the Schnoodle.
It's pretty rare to see a German Shepherd-Doodle, but they're absolutely adorable. Recently, one German Shepadoodle mom posted a video of her pup, and he's seriously to die for:

He's just a puppy, which means that Dani Elayne is currently watching him go through all of the phases, including his "I hate birds" phase. This is common for every dog, but breeds like the German Shepherd and the Poodle are sometimes especially aware of them.
This video is the aftermath of his beef with the geese. They definitely won, since the caption says that the geese weren't very nice. He probably ran up on one and got too close! Geese are very territorial. It's a lesson everyone has to learn once, but I can bet he won't be getting that close again!

His name is Benny. He's almost 11 months old, so he's definitely on the bigger side, but he's still a baby. He's got a lot left to learn! German Shepherds and Poodles are both super curious breeds, and he's total proof. For a good enough stick, though, Benny would do anything:

He loves his sticks. While they're not the best option for a toy, Benny gets to use them as a temporary solution sometimes: it's either munching on a stick or trying to munch on a goose! Only one bites back!
What to Expect With a German Shepherd-Doodle
Everyone seems to love Doodles, but when you're considering getting one, there are a lot of things you have to think about. Every Doodle is crossed with another breed, and some of those traits are going to shine through.
German Shepherd-Doodles, in particular, are a bit difficult sometimes. This is the result of two very smart breeds, and they can be very stubborn sometimes. If you want to get a German Shepherd-Doodle, you'll need to:
- Commit to an active lifestyle, with frequent walks and outdoor activities.
- Adopt a strict training regimen and stick to it.
- Start socialization early to prevent reactivity.
They're awesome, playful, loyal dogs, but the German Shepherd-Doodle is definitely best left to the professionals. Luckily, Benny's mom has it down!
