Here's why:
* Breeds are not percentages: A dog isn't 50% Labrador and 50% Poodle. They inherit traits from both parents, but it's not a mathematical equation.
* Hybrids have their own names: When two purebred dogs are crossed, the offspring is a hybrid. This is called a "designer breed" and often has its own name. For example, a Labrador and Poodle mix is usually called a "Labradoodle", not a "half lab poodle".
* Appearance can vary: The appearance of a Labradoodle can vary greatly depending on the specific parents. Some might look more like a Labrador, others more like a Poodle, and others a mix of both.
If you're interested in a dog with Labrador and Poodle traits, you'll want to look for a Labradoodle.
