Anecdotally, as a trainer, I do get more doodles with behavior issues than other breeds. But I don’t believe the problem is the cross breeding or the poodle part—it’s that buyers want doodles and breeders are cranking them out as fast as they can. Too many breeders are focusing on looks instead of temperament, and fast turnaround of litters—so they’re not selling mentally healthy puppies. And because the doodles are so popular, they are over-represented in the gen pop. When I was young, it was golden retrievers, and they had the highest numbers of reported bites.

Many holders will also rely on the good genetics they expect. Therefore, education is neglected. -
