[Ads-l] cavoodles et al.

[Dave Hause]

Since hybrids are named with the father as the first of the combination, why 
don't we ever hear of the poodadors, the poodaliers, etc?

Yahoo! News:

"There are cavoodles (cavalier king charles spaniel/poodle), groodles
(golden retriever/ poodle) schnoodles (shnauser/poodle), and even roodles
(rottweiller/poodle)."--

Seems that the guy who created the labradoodle fears he's "created a
Frankenstein."
