Thinking of buying a Groodle or Cavoodle? Dog behaviourist Max Oneil reveals the red flags first-generation mixed breed buyers need to watch for.

In part two of our ethical dog breeding series, hosts Jack Laurence and renowned Australian dog trainer and behaviourist Max Oneil from Down Under Dog Trainer talk about the hidden risks of first-generation mixed breeds.

Groodles, Cavoodles, and other designer crossbreeds have exploded in popularity across Australia and the UK, but Max warns that first-generation mixes come with unique challenges many buyers don't anticipate. Unlike established breeds with predictable traits, F1 crosses can inherit unpredictable combinations of characteristics from both parent breeds, sometimes getting the worst of both worlds rather than the best.

In this episode, Max covers:

• Why first-generation mixed breeds are genetic wildcards
• Breeder red flags, Warning signs in breeder behaviour and practices
• Questions every potential buyer should ask before committing

Whether you're considering a Labradoodle, Spoodle, Cavoodle, or any poodle cross, this episode arms you with the expert knowledge needed to make an informed decision and avoid costly mistakes, both financially and emotionally.

Max Oneil brings decades of professional dog training experience to help listeners understand what ethical breeding truly looks like.
