I probably wouldn't have a problem with that, if someone could get them to breed true. Both are VERY intelligent and trainable. Both are beautiful, though very different types. The main trait that I would want to keep, though, is the Poodle coat!! If GSD's didn't shed, they would be darned near perfect, IMHO!! Almost just like a Poodle, actually!!! I suppose a large faction of dog fanciers at the end of the 1800's thought von Stephanitz was a charlatan or perhaps even a "greedy peep."

Anyone going to try for a Shepoodle ? JK grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .................... I cannot understand the thinking behind breeding more 'mutts' except for greedy peeps just interested in making a fast buck . Maybe they just can't hack it when it comes to breeding a sound , dependable recognized breed and found a way to use their inferior stock.
