This is kind of hard to search for hence, this post. I pet this one dog at an outdoor concert once that had incredibly soft fur and no doggy odor. It was awesome! It was like combining the best traits of a dog and a cat.

It was a rather small dog, about the size of a poodle but all black. I think it may have been a labradoodle after searching but the info I got about them was that their characteristics are varied. So I'm uncertain.

So my questions are;
what dogs have the above characteristics?
If I were to get a labradoodle, would I be able to tell while its a puppy what kind of fur (and if it sheds; I have allergies) its going to have?

thanks
