Doodle crosses are a genuine negative for society. I have lived with a standard (full size) poodle and they are really great dogs, but they're absolutely not a good fit for most dog owners. Poodles love attention. And they like barking for attention. A standard poodle (the most likely cross) barks at about 120db. Absolutely everywhere. Outside, enclosed spaces, right in front of your goddamn face. This is about 35 db louder than the threshold for hearing damage, and the decibel scale is logarithmic. I feel that largely burgerlanders do not train their dogs well and because of that, we have people who are constantly exposed to hearing-damage levels of sound multiple times a day inside their own living spaces. They can also be pretty intolerant of kids and they get nippy.
A poodle cross can combine those negatives with all the negatives of the breed they're crossed with. For example, I've also lived with a purebred Golden Retriever. This dog had seperation anxiety and chewed through a panel from a door in a night. But hey, at least they don't make you sneeze, right?
I think that personally if you are allergic to dogs you maybe shouldn’t have one and just get a different pet
