One of my colleagues is ready to buy her first dog. She looked after a friend's groodle puppy and is smitten.  After a couple of conversations on the topic (thanks for this link), she is willing to look at other dogs.   Her question today was: 'So what pedigree dog is like a standard groodle?'.     What breed would you suggest? - Not as big as a Golden retriever or Labrador  - low shedding - good with kids (she has one daughter, near the end of primary school)
