The Aga Khan School Dhaka, considered one of the leading English medium schools in the country, offers international quality education to more than 1,200 students. The school, which employs over 100 teachers, all of whom are Bangladeshi nationals, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013-2014.
The curriculum of the Aga Khan Education Services' School focuses on student-centred learning, using appropriate teaching and learning strategies such as group and cooperative learning. The curriculum is designed to develop well-rounded individuals who are able to think for themselves, contribute to society and be responsible and engaged citizens of their country.
The School offers a caring and nurturing educational environment which provides each student with opportunities to develop artistically, emotionally, intellectually, morally, physically and socially to his or her fullest potential.
The AKDN is committed to enhancing substantially its investments in Bangladesh. These include a new Aga Khan Academy, to be located on 20 acres in Bashundara, Dhaka, encompassing world class facilities as part of a global network of eighteen Academies.
Dedicated to an international level of excellence in education, the Academies offer a curriculum based on the International Baccalaureate. To ensure access regardless of socio-economic status or other limiting factors, admission is merit-based and means-blind.

- Adopting a Doodle
- Doodles – Always a Good Mix
In the last 15 years, Poodle mixes, commonly known as Doodles, have become a popular choice for many pet parents. Many soon to be pet parents ask: what poodle mix is the best? Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, even Bernedoodles and Maltipoos, there are a lot of choices to be made when picking out a Doodle. While any dog can be a loving, kind family dog, certain Doodles can fit better than others. Whether you want a big, rough a tumble dog, or a small, cuddle lapdog, Doodles have you covered.
- You might want to read: The Top 5 Foods for Toy, Miniature, and Standard Poodles
What The Diddly's a Doodle?
A Doodle is any kind of dog that's an offspring of a Poodle and another purebred dog or Poodle mix. Some Doodles may have 75% Poodle due one parent being pure Poodle and the other being a Doodle mix, but they all have at least a good chunk of Poodle. Typically, a Doodle will have fur that grows in soft, tight curls, and have the coloration of the non-Doodle breed. Goldendoodles will always have a golden or white fur, while Labradoodles may be black or white depending on the Labrador.
While Doodles have existed for roughly 70 years, they really came into the spotlight about 20 to 30 years ago. A hypoallergenic, non-shedding family dog that was easy to breed and avoided most health issues of purebreds? While Doodles do hold claim to all of these things, there are myths that need debunking when it comes to Doodles.
Getting To Know Doodles
Before you pick which kind of Doodle might be right for you, it is important to understand what requirements and needs a Doodle takes, and what health and behavior issues you may be dealing with. Not every Doodle breed is the same, and will have varying energy levels, size, and mental needs. Their temperament also varies from dog to dog, so it may be good to find an older Doodle who has already received some training.
The benefits of a Doodle are common knowledge among pet parents who own them. Doodles do not shed at all, have considerably less dander and cause less allergies, and have very positive dispositions overall. They also typically live longer than many breeds of the same size, thanks to the mixing of genes from multiple breeds. They also come in a variety of sizes, from mini and toy to full and standard sizes, to suit any family's needs. Doodles are an extremely outgoing breed, and typically never have shyness when it comes to meeting people or dogs. Doodles are very responsive to Positive Reinforcement training and pick up new skills and behaviors quickly. They have a willingness to please, so they make for great service and emotional support animals, and their popularity makes them well-liked anywhere they go.
There are a few downsides to Doodles, just like with any breed of dog. While many breeders claim that Doodles avoid health issues, that is not entirely true. For larger variants, hip and joint issues, along with heart problems can occur. For smaller variants, the same heart issues can arise, as well as blindness later on in life. Doodles are also very active dogs, and require a great deal of walking, training, and exercise. They are not suited for apartment life, or for being crated for long periods of time. A bored Doodle is a destructive Doodle, especially during teething. Playtime is important for Doodles, but very often they can get too rough or physical when playing, especially with smaller dogs and children. Doodles like saying hello with their paws, so it is very important to work on not jumping and polite playtime from a very early age, or you may find yourself getting slapped every time your Doodle wants attention. Be ready for extremely high energy when it comes to Doodles.
Top 21 Most Popular Poodle Mixes
There are dozens of Doodle types out there now, but a few are more popular and easy to find than others. If you have never had a Doodle before, look at the top 21 most popular breeds listed below, ordered by "popularity," and see which one might fit for you and your family.
|Poodle Mixes
|Searches (US)
|Shih Poo
|Saint Berdoodle
|Bichon Poodle
- Best low-shedding poodle mixes: Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, and Bidoodle.
- Best poodle mixes for families: Cavapoo, Bernedoodle, and Labradoodle.
- Best poodle mixes for kids: Cavapoo, Newfypoo, and Cockapoo.
- Best poodle mixes for apartments and small spaces: Cockapoo, Maltipoo, and Toy Goldendoodle.
The top benefits of a Doodle are the high intelligence, healthier genetics, and popularity of their lower-shedding coats.
Once you have decided on which Doodle might be best for you, the next step is locating one. While these designer dogs often come from Breeders, many shelters have Doodles due to their popularity. Take a look at:
With all of this information at your fingertips, it should be easy to find the dog that is right for you. Always remember, a puppy is for life.
1. Cavapoo
The Cavapoo, in contrast to the Westiepoo, has almost no prey drive whatsoever. They still do enjoy play time or fetch, but they first and foremost want attention. Coming in different colors depending on both the Spaniel and the Poodle, this breed is always about the size of the Spaniel.
A more slender Doodle, the Cavapoo has the long Poodle legs and longer snout compared to the shorter, snubbed snout of the Cavalier. The longer, silky fur of the Cavalier turns into slightly longer face and leg fur, but keeps the curls from the Poodle. Dual and Tri-color Cavapoos are possible, and they do require a fair bit of grooming to stay clean and healthy. Hitting 25 pounds at the most, this breed is easier to care for and play with, but their personality can make training tricky.
There is not a single Doodle that does not want to say hello with their paws, and Cavaliers are one of the jumpiest breeds themselves. Combining the will to people with the Cavalier mindset of being a lapdog, Cavapoos come with springs in their feet. Jumping for attention is the number one issue with Cavapoos, and with their cute looks it can be very hard to resist giving them attention.
This is not a breed that can be left alone, and is prone to separation anxiety. They do well in larger families that give them a bigger support net, but still require a lot of training when it comes to staying calm without their people. Cavapoos also have sensitive stomachs, and care must be taken when it comes to training treats and food selections. The heart diseases that plague Cavaliers can also occur in Cavapoos, and regular check-ups on their cardiovascular health is vital.
2. Sheepadoodle
A slightly less common mix, a Sheepadoodle combines the work driven Sheepdog with a high focus Poodle. A stout, thick-furred dog, the Sheepdog was originally bred for herding and protecting sheep, as the name implies. An extremely talented and dependable herding breed, the Sheepdog itself can be tough to train for family life. But, mixing it with a Doodle, like many other breeds, results in a much more family appropriate dog.
The Sheepadoodle is normally a larger breed dog. While any Doodle mix can technically be small, this breed is more commonly found in larger variants. At four months, some Sheepadoodles can even hit 30 pounds and still be growing rapidly. With this breed, it is very important to make sure you meet the parents and see what size dog you may be ending up with. That being said, the breed is very amicable towards children and other dogs, but must be trained to play gently so it does not tackle and pounce. This Doodle may have latent herding urges, as well, so giving this Doodle a job to do is vital to its mental wellbeing. Lots of space is important for Doodles!
Grooming is a must for these breeds. With the thicker, longer fur of the Sheepdog, this mix usually does not have the tight, curly fur of the Doodle. Grooming, shaving, brushing, and washing are all vital to the wellbeing of this Doodle. For pet parents that live in more wooded areas, making sure to keep debris out of their fur may be a daily task. Their health issues stem from hit and joint issues, and some heart health problems. Keeping your older Sheepadoodle on hit and joint supplements will give them a happier, longer life in their older years.
3. Schnoodle
The mix between a Schnauzer and a Poodle, a Schnoodle is a mix that takes a bit of work and breeding to be perfected. While some Doodles may be 50/50 mix, the Schnoodle takes a few generations to reach the desired mix. The end result of what is considered the perfect Schnoodle is a specific kind of fur, rather than a size or disposition. Instead of the typical Doodle coat, an equal mix is the goal, resulting in a fluffy coat. Schnoodles can be difficult to obtain because of this, but are considered extremely low shedders for people with allergies.
With that much breeding going into the proper Schnoodle, it is difficult to say the size and disposition of the puppies. Thorough research into the parents is vital, and knowing their history and bloodlines is essential to finding a good Schnoodle puppy. For this reason, the health issues should be known by the breeders, but the mixed lineage could result in latent issues popping up. Expect a lot of work in finding the right Schnoodle. Schnoodles are also a mix that can drastically vary in size. Depending on whether or not you are looking for a Toy up to a Standard Schnoodle, you may have to speak with many different breeders.
With the wide range of sizes and backgrounds, it can be difficult to pin down the exact behaviors of the Schnoodle. Luckily, Schnauzers are fairly non-aggressive dogs, but do require a degree of socialization at a young age. While the can be a bit more shy and timid than some other breeds, the Poodle helps draw out their personality, resulting in a dog with a kind, fun temperament. They can be protective of their pet parents, however, so make sure they learn to safely engage with new people.
Energy is the word of the day with Schnoodles, needing a great deal of playtime and engagement every day. There's no breaks with a Schnoodle, and for those living in an apartment or smaller arrangement, a Schnoodle is not a good choice. Even a Toy Schnoodle requires space to run and chase, so only pet parents with enough space should attempt to home a Schnoodle.
4. ShihPoo
A Shih Poo is a mix between a Shih Tzu and a Poodle. This mix can be a bit of a stubborn one with the Shih Tzu ancestry, but if properly trained from a young age, results in a friendly and proud lapdog. A bit less eager to please than some other mixes, the Shih Poo needs daily training and reminders of what behaviors to take and not take.
The Shih Tzu is a breed known for their below average urge to please and respond to pet parents, often times engaging with smells or other movements that interest them. There is a strong possibility that your Shih Poo can hain this same trait from the Shih Tzu in them, and whether or not they have the more outgoing, eager to please of the Poodle is up to chance. This mix is better suited for calmer, quieter homes that do not have smaller children. They do enjoy attention, and will often times pick a favorite out of a family, but will not go out of their way for that attention like some breeds.
Compared to others, they do not require as much activity and playtime, and very often prefer to laze about with their person than go for long walks. If you are an extremely active pet parent, a Shih Poo may not be the right choice. For someone who wants a low impact dog in a quiet, single person home, the Shih Poo may be better suited. However, this is not a dog for new pet parents, and requires a lot of patience with potty training and resource guarding. Their coats differ from dog to dog, and grooming is on a case by case basis with this mix.
5. Yorkipoo
One of the more common toy mixes, the Yorkipoo stems from a mix of Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle. The mix of these two brings about an adorable, but a rambunctious dog that needs a lot of attention and early training. The Poodle in this mix is the Toy Poodle, giving the Yorkipoo the energy and temperament of the smaller breed. The Yorkie is a high prey drive and extremely vocal breed, and the Yorkipoo needs a lot of training at a young age.
Even though smaller dogs typically live longer lives and hit a senior age much later in life, they go through puppy growth much faster than larger breed dogs. At this young age, a Yorkipoo requires a great deal of socialization and redirection training to prevent it from having barking issues down the line. The Yorkie is one of the breeds notorious for giving small dogs the 'yappy' reputation, and the Yorkipoo can easily inherit this trait. Making sure to train your Yorkipoo to keep their focus on you or something positive with help break them of that habit, or even prevent it from occurring at all.
Yorkipoos are very active, social dogs when it comes to their families, and can be extremely playful with other small breeds. The Yorkie side of them can lead them to be a bit standoffish, but through proper socialization, you can work through those problems. Working with them around children is important too, as Yorkipoos do not enjoy extremely rough physical play. Using toys or playing fetch is a much more enjoyable pastime for this bouncy mix.
Their fur can vary, depending on which breed's genes come out more dominant. If they lean towards Poodle, you can have a low shedding dog that may need full grooming from time to time. If they lean towards Yorkie, you will need daily brushing and care, but typically only a trim around the face and sanitary areas, instead of a full work down. Health issues for smaller dogs take different forms, so find out what issues the parents had so you can pinpoint what your Yorkipoo might eventually develop.
6. Peekapoo
A more debated mix, the Peekapoo is a mix between a Pekingese and a Poodle. This mix, and the Pekingese breed in general, is a sensitive subject for many dog lovers. While the mix typically had no undercoat and is easier to groom and brush, and may have a loving personality, it has an abundance of health issues.
The debate around Peekapoos comes from the Pekingese side. Roughly two-thirds of all Pekingese suffer from Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome, or BOAS. This is a genetic defect that causes them to be unable to easily breathe. It is a chronic disease with no cute, caused by the flat faces and short snouts of many breeds. BOAS results in a lifetime of labored breathing, pain, and inability to handle any sort of temperatures in either the hot or cold ranges.
It is a toss-up whether or not your Peekapoo will be born with BOAS or not. Many breeders shun or look down upon breeders who keep this mix or the Pekingese bloodlines going, stating that breeding dogs who are born suffering is unkind. Regardless of views, this breed should only be taken if you are well educated in the health issues and problems that may arise. This mix also does poorly with children, as roughhousing can cause it to have troubles breathing, leading to it lashing out to protect itself.
While grooming this breed can be easier than some Doodles, due to the lower maintenance fur, it is important to weigh the pros and cons very heavily for this mix. Be careful about Peekapoos if you are inexperienced with dogs, or breeds with airway restrictions. Weight gain and overheating are also very serious detriments to this breed, as their body works against them in almost every aspect.
7. Pomapoo
The Pomapoo is a mix between the extremely fluffy Pomeranian, and a Poodle. The Pomapoo is a Doodle that is always small, never hitting more than 10-12 pounds at the most. It is seen as a Toy or Teacup Doodle, easy to carry and travel with. Unlike many Doodles, this breed does shed, and requires the undercoat to be brushed out regularly. This Doodle mix would not be considered hypoallergenic, which is something to keep in mind if you are considering this Doodle.
With its smaller statue, the Pomapoo does well in apartments and smaller living situations, as long as it is given something to interact or play with. A playpen is a perfect place for a Pomapoo, especially if you decide to potty train them to go on pads rather than outside. This mix is also very vocal and responds loudly to outside stimuli if not properly trained. Expect them to want attention any time you are around, and to try and seek out laps to sit in.
As a breed that sheds, you may be dealing with extra brushing, but not as much shaving down. Keeping them well groomed will prevent mats and tangles, but do not get this Doodle if you are expecting a non-shedder. Regular baths are a must. In addition, this particular Doodle mix can be a bit more aggressive and is prone to resource guarding. Families with children may not want to pick this breed. Never be afraid to meet the puppies beforehand, and see which enjoys interacting with people more.
Health issues in Pomapoos stem from their parents, and any good breeder will be able to inform you on what health issues may arise in Pomapoos. Keep an eye out for breeders who refuse to give you genetic history or information about the breed. Weight issues are common in these smaller breeds, as well as blindness in later ages. Pomapoos are great for single pet parents, but larger families may have a bit more trouble with them.
8. Whoodle
A Whoodle is possibly one of the least common Doodle mixes. The Wheaton Terrier is one of the larger breeds of terrier, and while energetic, do not have the barking or overwhelming prey drive of some smaller terriers. While any terrier is naturally more inclined to sniff and smell about, these mixes have many different personalities depending on the individual dog.
Because a Whoodle is so uncommon, dog behaviorists and vets do not have a large enough sample size for temperament, health issues, size and so on. So, a closer look at the two dogs that much up the mix is needed. The first, the Wheaton, is a good family dog that is friendly, dependable, and very rewarding to train and work with. The Poodle trains well, too, so a mix of the two would likely be a very trainable, intelligent dog. Many Wheatons are already mistaken for Doodles, as their fur and faces can be very similar. The Wheaton may also have a 'beard', as some breeds are groomed to have. You are most likely going to be dealing with some thick, heavy fur in this mix, as well.
So few Whoodles exist, that finding one will be more of a challenge than training the dog. Expect to be traveling across the country to even hope to find one, as breeders of this dog mix are few and far between. If you do happen to find one, cherish it. No Doodle mix is rarer!
9. Saint Berdoodle
Mixing a Saint Bernard and Poodle results in a loveable mix known as a Saint Berdoodle. With the loyalty of Saint Bernard and the intelligence of the Poodle, the Saint Berdoodle is a fantastic mix with tons of pluses. Expect a Saint Berdoodle to be big when it grows up, as even a smaller Poodle is working against a breed that hits over 100 pounds easily. An affectionate, happy mix, this dog loves to please more than anything.
A Saint Berdoodle is going to have thick, curly fur, similar to the Bernedoodle, but on a larger scale. This happy go lucky mix requires a lot of grooming attention due to the thick, fluffy fur and large size, and may need to be shorn down regularly if you live in warmer climates. This Doodle loves colder weather, and during the winter will have much more energy than the summer. If you live in warmer climates, be careful about overheating or dehydration of this Doodle mix.
Training a Saint Berdoodle is a rewarding experience, and because both breeds that make up the mix are affectionate, you may have a very large lapdog on your hands. Making sure you go through proper training, especially for things like leash walking and jumping, it a must when it comes to larger dogs. Doodles love saying hello with their paws, so make sure you begin that training at a young age. Saint Berdoodles are strong dogs, and it is more than just a jump when they want to play.
10. Goldendoodle
One of the most popular variants of Doodle is the Goldendoodle. Goldendoodles vary from a darker, golden brown to a very light white, depending on the parents, and have a range of sizes from Standard to Toy. A Standard Labradoodle stands about as tall as a Standard Poodle, hitting upwards of 80 pounds and physically resembling the Poodle in stature, rather than the bulkier form of the Golden. The smaller end of Goldendoodles is around ten pounds for toy breeds, which are more commonly Toy Poodles bred with an already smaller Goldendoodle. If you are purchasing a Goldendoodle puppy, enquire about the size and the parents for a better estimate of how big your new puppy is going to get.
Being a breed that does not shed, they need constant grooming and shaving in order to prevent matting and dirt from accumulating. Bi-weekly baths for a Goldendoodle are recommended to keep fur clean, as a lack of shedding means they do not naturally remove dirt like other breeds. They require grooming, either at home or by a professional groomer, and it is recommended to use or request a Five Blade when she is groomed. If you are unsure about Clipper Blades and how they correspond to the length of the fur, ask a local groomer. If you know how to groom a dog yourself, then make sure you get medium to heavy-duty clippers, depending on the thickness of the Goldendoodle's fur.
The Goldendoodle was one of the first Doodle mixes to gain popularity, and have even begun to be recognized as their own breed is some dog training groups. While mixed breeds are typically never considered their own breed, Goldendoodles have begun to push against the rule just from the sheer prevalence of the mix. This, along with their high energy and high impact nature make them good for families with lots of space to run and play, but not so much for small children. Goldendoodle puppies, especially Standard sized, have trouble playing politely with children. It is not a case of aggression, but a case of not realizing how large or strong they are, and combined with a tendency to jump, may knock youngsters over without meaning to.
They are typically healthy dogs compared to some pure-breds, but a few health issues can arise. Hip and joint issues can occur in any breed, but Goldendoodles are more susceptible to these issues. Making sure a puppy gets the proper food, and putting them on hip and joint supplements are both extremely important for Goldendoodles. Another large issue is the heart, as any larger dog can have heart issues if they are not given routine check-ups.
11. Labradoodle
The other most popular mix of Doodle, the Labradoodle comes in many more colors than the Goldendoodle. Depending on if a parent was a White, Chocolate, Black, etc Labrador, the fur colors and sizes can vary greatly. This is where your all-black Doodle mixes come from. Labradoodle and Goldendoodles share a great deal of similarities, and are sometimes hard to tell apart. There are a few small differences in the two, however.
Labradoodles typically have very short, tight curls in their fur, due to the shortness of the Labrador's fur compared to a Golden's. While it is possible to brush the fur out to a degree, their fur must be washed more often than a Goldendoodles depending on the firmness of the fur. Many Labradoodle's have fur likened to a sheep's wool, but mat more easily due to the nature of their fur. You can see Sloane the Labradoodle here, both before and after a groom. Note the shorter fur especially around the eyes and ears.
Both of them will usually take on the body shape of the Poodle, with longer legs and a more pronounced snout, but Labradoodles can sometimes be a bit heavier and stockier than their counterparts. Both still come in many different sizes, all dependant on the parents. They have a willingness to please, and obey cues well, but occasionally get over excited when around other dogs or being rewarded. Labradoodles love saying hello physically, whether it is a slap with a paw, a jump, or a heavy lean into your legs for attention, and can bond with either whole families or one individual.
Their grooming is very similar to more Doodles, but with the shorter fur, dematting can be required if they are not bathed and tended to regularly. Oatmeal shampoos or shampoos with tea tree oils can be great for Labradoodles, as regular washing may dry out their skin. Dematting and detangling shampoos and conditioners can also help, and this breed's love of water makes bathing easy.
12. Bidoodle
The Bidoodle has many different names, including Bichon Doodle, Doodle Frise, or Bichoodle. The Bidoodle is a small or toy sized Doodle with a ton of playful energy and an absolute urge to cuddle and be held. While they can be jumpers, their tiny size and happy personality makes them fantastic for kids and in smaller living arrangements, like apartments. They do well in almost any situation, and their smaller size makes them great for less active pet parents. The Bidoodle does not know how to be aggressive in the slightest, and would rather try to lick you to death than anything else.
The Bidoodle comes in a few different colors, including vibrant orange golds. Their fur is always made with tight, firm curls, and brushing is required. Unlike some Doodles, they are a very vocal mix, and let their pet parents know they need attention through whines, barks, and whimpers. They can very prone to separation anxiety, and training is required to keep them from getting stressed when their pet parents are not around. They take very little time to warm up to new people, and love then people get down to play at their level. Like with many smaller breeds, you may see them 'dance' for attention, and try to jump up into laps.
Like many small breeds, potty training can be an issue for the Bidoodle, as their bodies cannot hold it in for as long as some larger breeds. Sheer excitement or nervousness can cause anxiety pees, and early potty training is a must for this breed. Their small teeth also need a lot of teething toys. A Bidoodle that is not supervised can take apart almost anything they get their mouths on, from clothes to wires.
With a Bidoodle, be sure to avoid too many treats and snacks during training. Smaller breeds can easily become overweight, with even a single pound throwing off their body weight ratio. Using bits of kibble in treat balls or for training works well for food motivated Bidoodles, rather than fattier treats. Some smaller breeds are also prone to kidney issues, so regular check-ups at the vet are important.
13. Newfypoo
A mix between a Newfoundland and a Poodle, the Newfypoo is a big, big dog with a heart to match. There is no doubting this dog's ability to love, and the affectionate side of both the Newfoundland and the Poodle shines through with this Doodle. Considered a large, or even giant mix depending on the size of the adult dog, the Newfypoo requires a lot of space, a lot of playtime, and a lot of attention. If you have time, this mix is great for families and children with its kind disposition and gentle nature. Just be prepared to go through a lot of food and treats to keep it satisfied.
One of the largest of the Doodles, the Newfypoo can hit sizes of up to 150 pounds, and you will not see any toy variants of this mix at all. Even with all that size, the Newfypoo is still a kind, friendly dog that is extremely loyal to its family and pet parents. Unlike some other, more protective breeds, they do not mind engaging with strangers and new dogs if properly socialized at a young age. They do need to be taught to play politely, as their massive size may be a bit too much for smaller dogs and children. Newfypoos are big fans of playtime, and need mental stimulation through treat balls and fetch toys, as well as regular walks and exercise.
The Newfypoo's coat is as big as it is, and will require a lot of grooming and work. Any mix of the Poodle and Newfoundland is going to end up with thick, curly fur that gets tangled easily. Make sure to regularly brush and wash your Newfypoo to prevent mats. Trips to the groomer will be vital to trim down a Newfypoo, as well. Being a giant mix, the Newfypoo can be prone to hip and joint issues, as well as some heart issues that arise in the Poodle. Even these mixed breeds can have health issues due to the pure bloodlines that they stem from.
14. Bernedoodle
Possibly the fluffiest, softest of any Doodle is the Bernedoodle. Finding a small Bernedoodle is tougher, due to the massive size of the Bernese Mountain Dog, and you will usually find a Bernedoodle hitting over 80 pounds at the Standard size. Unlike the single-tone fur of the Golden- and Labradoodles, Bernedoodles have double or tri-color coats, as their markings resemble the Bernese ancestry. They have much thicker, softer coats than other Doodle mixes, making them a snuggly, soft choice.
Bernedoodles have a very easy going disposition, losing much of the high strung energy and possible nervousness of other Doodle mixes. As puppies, they are playful, energetic, and even clumsy to a degree, making them very personable dogs. However, this can cause issues in training, as the lackadaisical nature of the Bernadoodle causes them to lose interest in training in favor of playtime or distractions. Higher value treats are important when training your Bernedoodle.
Grooming is a bit tougher for a Bernedoodle, as their fur is thicker and longer than other Doodles. They still do not shed, but this results in a dog that requires daily brushing in order to prevent mats and tangles. Their fur also picks up debris more easily, and they may track mud or water if not cleaned properly. Bathing is a must for a Bernedoodle. They are cold weather dogs thanks to their fur, and may not do well in warmer climates or in hot weather, so it is very important to keep them cool in the summer.
Bernedoodles are cuddlers by nature. They're very physical, and love trying to be lapdogs. However, due to their size, this can be problematic. If you are someone who wants a physical, playful dog that can run with you, wrestle and play tug of war, a Bernedoodle is a good choice. Just make sure you take the time to teach them how to be gentle with smaller dogs and children, as they see anything their level and lower as a playmate. Leash walking can also be a difficult process, as they grow much faster than they realize. Investing in a front-clip harness or an elastic leash can help you teach them to walk properly.
15. Bordoodle
Mixing a Border Collie with a Poodle results in a smart, hard working mix called a Bordoodle. Taking the genes from a Border Collie, which is ranked as the world's most intelligent breed, and adding it to the style of a Poodle gives you a wonderful, fun to train dog. However. Keeping up with a Bordoodle is tougher than it sounds. Training, running, even finding places where it can work out herding instinct is all vital for the wellbeing of your Bordoodle.
The Border Collie is a breed than cannot go without a job to do. A bored Bordoodle will result in the same results as the dog it descends from – a dog who decides to find a job to do on its own. Whether this ends up being herding you around the house, to pushing furniture into one spot, or ever trying to wrangle houseguests, letting a Bordoodle pick a job is a bad plan. Making sure you train your Bordoodle in order to keep them occupied is a must, and you may even want to find a 'job' for them to do on a day to day basis to keep them feeling occupied. Agility courses are a great plan for a Bordoodle as well, and they need an active pet parent.
For grooming and health, the coat of a Border Collie is rough, and requires constant deshedding and brushing. You Bordoodle may not be a low shedding dog due to this genetic trait, so do not depend on that being a certainty. Being mostly a medium size dog, their health issues vary from one individual to the next. Border Collies end up with hip and joint problems, just like the Poodle, so keeping an eye out for limping or swelling is a must. This high energy dog can run itself into injury, so mental stimulation that revolves around more than just running is advisable.
16. Chipoo
This little breed of Chihuahua and Poodle is a newer Doodle to the scene. The mix of Chihuahua and Poodle gives this mix a diminutive size, but a big personality. Full of energy and need to play and socialize, the Chipoo requires a lot of playtime and work. While a Chihuahua can had a bad reputation for being loud and stubborn, early socialization and training can result in a wonderful, friendly dog.
The Chipoo is by nature, a cuddly, friendly dog, but can quickly decide to only be cuddly for its pet parents. Like many small breed dogs, they can become incredibly defensive over their pet parents to the point of growling and biting. This 'small dog syndrome' can occur easily if your Chipoo is not properly socialized. Holding your Chipoo, allowing them to bark at a distance, and not allowing for safe socialization at a young age is a recipe for disaster.
However, even a well socialized Chipoo can still be defensive if provoked. Regular grooming visits at a young age will prevent aggression towards grooming and strangers. Having a place they consider to be theirs, such as a playpen or crate can also give them a safe area to relax. Making sure they are well groomed will also prevent painful mats, which can cause a dog to lash out, and depending on the parents, it may or may not shed. This mix also does not like to engage with children, and prefers its own pet parents.
They are a high, high energy dog, with at least an hour of playtime and training required every day. Constant stimulation is important for this breed, as any extra energy will turn into rough playing and barking. A vocal mix, expect howling and barking if they are not properly stimulated every day. A lack of play can also result in an overweight dog, putting it at high risk for teeth decay and heart disease.
17. Westiepoo
The West Highland Terrier, or Westie as it is more commonly known, is a feisty terrier that requires a lot of attention. When you mix this breed with a Poodle, you get a high energy, high impact dog that needs a lot of attention on playtime. Westies can be notorious for deciding that movement and smells are more important than focusing, and a Westiepoo takes that drive and turns it into play.
With a higher than normal prey drive, aWestiepoo may have trouble with other animals. It is not recommended to have small animals such as guinea pigs or cats around an untrainedWestiepoo, or you may end up with a very unhappy game of chase. Which aWestiepoo never means harm with these games, accidents can occur. Expect your Westiepoo to need more playing revolving around chase, fetch, and active running to burn off that energy.
Westiepoo coats vary depending on which parent they take after, and the size of the dog, but they can be a bit wirier if they take after the Westie. Westies are also a stout terrier, so expect variations in body shape as well, instead of the typically sleek Doodle look. However, even with a stout frame, Westiepoos are agile, active dogs that will keep you on your toes. It is not recommended for a new pet owner to consider this breed, as they take a great deal of training, and may want to chase children around playtime.
Westiepoos come in a few different sizes, but will often time be smaller due to the Westie's diminutive height. Health issues are similar to most Doodles, and weight gain is a threat to any Westie mix. Smaller dogs are at much more risk of being overweight, and Westies are no exception. To ensure yourWestiepoo has a long, healthy life, controlling the amount they eat is important.
18. Boxerdoodle
Even with a less impressive name than some of the other Doodles, a Boxerdoodle is an excellent mix of the two breeds. The high energy of the Boxer with the focus of the Poodle results in a high trainable, and still playfully loveable dog. Expect a Boxerdoodle to be a very physical dog, but easy to train and eager to please. Boxers are one of the most physically expressive dogs, so you will see a lot of movement and playfulness from a Boxerdoodle.
An energetic, happy mix, the Boxerdoodle will vary in size depending on the parents. Smaller Boxerdoodles are rare, however, and larger sizes are much more common to match the size of the Boxer. Known for their love of play pouncing on toys, tapping their paws, and rolling around for fun, the Boxer shines in this mix. Even with all of this physical action, they are still great with children, and do well in large families. This does require a lot of open space to play, and people to play with, so do not expect a Boxerdoodle to do well in smaller areas.
Health issues for a Boxerdoodle typically mirror what most larger breeds have issues with: Hip and joint problems, heart issues, and certain cancers can plague these breeds. Like any dog, socialization is also key, but Boxerdoodles pick up on social cues very well. Depending on the genes it inherits, you may end up with an easy to clean boxer coat. You may also end up with a coat that requires a good deal more attention. Grooming is important either way, and keeping your Boxerdoodle's coat pretty and clean is a must.
19. Cockapoo
Cockapoos are one of the smaller breed Doodles, as the Cocker Spaniel is a smaller breed than a Golden, Labrador, or a Bernese Mountain Dog. One of the first Doodle mixes to have appeared, dating back to the 1950s, this Doodle requires a lot of attention and interaction. At only 25 pounds at the very largest, this breed is better suited for children and families who want a dog they can pick up, hold, or interact with easily.
With a silkier fur and a smaller body, Cockapoos are popular with families that want a smaller lapdog. They socialize extremely well at young ages, even getting along well with other animals like cats. However, expect a Cockapoo to keep its nose to the ground, always on the lookout for something to play with or sniff out. Drawing from the Cocker Spaniel side, a Cockapoo finds movement and smells thrilling, and will chase almost anything that it thinks might be fun to follow. Recall and focus cues are a must for Cockapoos.
As with many smaller dogs, a smaller physical presence means that a larger vocal presence may occur. Cockapoos bark more than their larger counterparts who see garner attention through more physical interactions. Learning to get your Cockapoo's energy out through games and training is vital, or else there will be a lot of unwanted barking for attention. Grooming is important for their smaller size, as it is easy for a small dog with long hair to develop mats in their fur. Expect your Cockapoo to want to play and chew on grooming brushes, as well.
While smaller breeds do not have as many hip or joint issues as larger breeds, Cockapoos still have health issues that relate to smaller breeds. They have longer lifespans than their larger counterparts, and this can result in blindness and dementia in Cockapoos. As older ages, they can also develop certain cancers and cysts, and are prone to dental diseases. Checking in with a vet regularly is important.
20. Maltipoo
Even smaller than a Cockapoo, the Maltipoo is a great mix for people in smaller homes or apartments. Being as they travel well, get along in new environments, and have very few aggression issues, a Maltipoo is a popular choice for older folks and children alike. With some Maltipoos not even hitting a full ten pounds, they maintain a spot as one of the smallest Doodle mixes.
A Maltipoo requires one thing above all else: attention. They are very social, active dogs that do poorly when left alone for long periods of time. Many Maltipoos do better getting attention rather than treats during training, and they love nothing more than spending time with their pet parents. Expect a lot of need for cuddling, petting, and brushing, or expect a lot of barking. Maltipoos are notorious barkers when they are not properly stimulated, and if you are not careful, you can end up with a very loud puppy on your hands. Luckily, with proper training, you can have your Maltipoo only bark when you ask, or in certain situations.
Maltipoos love attention, so they love to please. Training one is not difficult once it realizes that listening and following cues gets attention and praise, and they learn fun tricks easily. They can be sensitive to noises, however, so if Clicker Training is attempted you may need to find a clicker with a softer tone. They also groom easily, and need the same level of grooming and attention as any Doodle mix, just on a smaller scale.
With a smaller size, it is easy to set up a play area for your Maltipoo. Not only will this prevent a puppy or bored dog from chewing on something important, giving your dog their own space will make them feel comfortable and safe when they are inside of it. Letting them out to play with the family, and then letting them go back in once they are tired is a great way to keep barking and whining to a minimum.
21. Rottle
Mixing a Rottweiler and a Poodle results in a mix called a Rottle. This mix is a reserved, almost stoic dog around people it does not know, and more outgoing towards its family. Considerably less outgoing than many Doodles, this breed is prized for its appearance and coat, but not its actions around strangers or other dogs. A Rottle can take a lot of hard work and training, but is an exceptionally loyal dog to its pet parents.
Being as a Rottle is a more stoic breed. They require calm socialization as puppies, and a lot of exercise and entertainment at home. Making sure to take time to prevent food aggression, resource guarding, and overall aggression towards new people is important, as this is a very protective Doodle. A more reserved mix, they need a great deal of practice meeting people they have not met, and in turn can do very poorly with children. Pet parents will still find them to be an extremely affectionate, kind dog in their own home. Rottles may also attempt to become lapdogs, even at their larger sizes. Expect a lot of training and work for this mix to be as social as some of the others. Like always, this can vary greatly from dog to dog, and many Rottles are very friendly and outgoing.
Their coat varies from the Rottweiler coat to the Poodle coat, and the most desired mix is the curly Poodle fur with the markings and 'eyebrows' of the Rottweiler. Depending on the coat, you may see a lot more time grooming than not. Large breed dog food with salmon will help both their skin and coat, as well as their joint health in the long run. Grooming is important doubly for this mix, as a good groomer and some patience will help them be handled by new people more easily.
Finding a Good Breeder
With so many people nowadays trying to breed, sell, and raise dogs, it can be very difficult to find a good dog breeder. Depending on where you live, you may have to search around a bit for a breeder, but here are some tips and advice to follow. You never want to accidentally support a puppy mill, or someone who takes poor care of their dogs.
Always ask questions. A good breeder is transparent about their dogs. They are willing to show AKC paperwork, talk about their location, even show you where the dogs are taken care of and bred. A breed who cares about the breed will be happy to disclose all possible health issues, as well, and walk you through some of the basics of getting a new puppy. If a breeder refuses to show you the parents, refuses to show you where the dogs are kept, or refuses to show you the dog until payment, steer clear. Many times, you will be put on a waiting list, and when a female dog is pregnant, be informed and given the choice to put a claim on a puppy. Payment at this time is common.
If you are lucky, a breeder that you know and trusts you may be willing to part with an older dog who can no longer breed, and needs a good forever home. Just like with puppies, make sure to ask questions, meet the dog beforehand, find out any health risks and interact with the dog. Having puppies can change a dog's behavior.
Lastly, some breeders may ask that you do not spay or neuter your new puppy. This is typically so they can see which of the puppies grows up the healthiest. They may ask for the puppy back for a short time when it is older for further breeding, as well, but this would be included in the contract signed at purchase. This is another sign that you have a reputable breeder. No contract means no business.
Adopting a Doodle
Adoption is a great choice when looking for a new dog. With the huge amount of dogs that have no forever home, and that need a place to call their own, Doodles are easier and easier to find in shelters. Just like breeders, reputable rescues are important to find.
There are two types of places to adopt from – rescues, and shelters. Rescues are typically non-profit organizations run by a smaller group of people, while shelters are government-run animal control groups. Adopting from a rescue means the dog will usually be fostered in a home with other dogs, giving it more socialization and basic housetraining. The fees for a rescue can also be higher, as most rescues rely entirely on subsidies, donations, and adoption fees. Almost any larger retail pet chain, such as PetCo, will have adoption events weekly.
Shelters are government run, and typically seen as a 'Pound' setting. Dogs who are strays, abandoned, or otherwise homeless and without a rescue end here, and unfortunately, most all shelters practice euthanization. Often times, rescue groups will adopt dogs who are close to their euthanization date in order to save them. While the fees are much lower here, the background, actual breed, and health issues are totally unknown in a shelter dog. This being said, there are more happy reports of shelter dogs becoming incredible family dogs than not, especially with the correct training.
Doodles – Always a Good Mix
Overall, any Doodle is going to be an outgoing, happy dog. There are a lot of reasons why they have become such a popular choice in so many families, and their popularity continues to grow. Different breeds are meant for different people, so never be afraid to meet as many different dogs as you can in the search for the right one. A dog, Doodle or not, is a partner for life, so make sure you take the time to pick the perfect one.

Architecture graduate Minty Sainsbury discusses how she started work as an artist
Name: Minty Sainsbury
Degree course: Architecture
College: Emmanuel
Graduation: 2013
When did you first decide to pursue a career as an artist?
I had been selling my artwork and doing commissions from the age of fourteen but I never considered working full-time as an artist. I continued to sell my work throughout university and even whilst working in an architectural practice, but I never thought about a career as an artist. It wasn't until I had quit my job and had absolutely no plan what to do next that I thought I had nothing to lose, so I decided to give it a go. I had by this point been working in London for a couple of years and thought that whatever I did next I wanted to be something that really excited me and I could see myself doing for a long time.
What do you wish someone told you beforehand?
My dad is a wildlife artist and works from home, and growing up I helped out at exhibitions and we would work together in his studio, so I had a pretty good understanding of what I was getting myself into! I had seen what it was like to organise and run an exhibition but I hadn't realised quite how exhausting it is – especially solo exhibitions when you are in charge of everything by yourself. I also wish someone had told me how lonely it can be, as I'm a real extrovert and loved working in an office with people always there to chat, so it was a huge transition from having work colleagues to working alone from home. I have now had three years to combat the loneliness and don't find it a big problem anymore, as a great solution I've found is listening to podcasts and audio books. Lastly, I think I was naive to how totally all-consuming the profession is and how hard it is to switch off at the end of the day or the weekend, maybe it is just the pressure of working by yourself and other people who run their own business or are self-employed might feel the same. As architecture is the focus of my artwork it means that everywhere I go I am always looking out for views to draw or buildings to photograph, so all too often holidays can turn into architectural tours!
The early stages of developing a career as an artist can be tough financially. What did you do to support yourself during this time that was flexible enough to give you the space and time to develop your art career?
I was living and working in London before I started my career as an artist, but when I quit my job and started drawing I knew there was no way I could afford to pay London rent, so I packed up my stuff and moved back to my parents' house in a small village in rural Scotland. My parents have always encouraged me to be very independent so if I wanted to come back home I could only do so for six months, but if I wanted to stay longer then I would have to start paying rent. So, this gave me six months to get a portfolio of work together and at the end of the six months I planned to have an exhibition in London. I worked seven days a week to get the drawings ready and I found setting a deadline was a great incentive. I thought six months was a good trial period and, if by the end of it I wasn't selling any work, I was fully prepared that I would have to start looking for full-time employment. Luckily within the first month of drawing I was already selling my drawings and taking on commissions, so I had an income immediately and after my solo exhibition I was able to move back down to London. I personally find having the financial pressure is great motivation to work hard and having a set time-frame in which to start a career means you can throw everything at it, so if it works out that's great, but if not then you've not spent years trying.
Aside from the obvious (talent!), what skills do you think are useful in developing a successful career as a freelance artist?
Something I learnt from studying architecture at Cambridge was to be very disciplined and self-motivated with my work. This has been a great skill to have practised as you need to have the drive to force yourself to work hard, even when you don't have a boss there to spur you on. I find the job requires me to be very self-sufficient as I deal with the marketing, accounts, communication, sales, production, and decision making. To deal with this you need to be very independent as you don't have anyone else to lean on. What I think is more stressful than the tasks and workload itself is dealing with making decisions and fixing problems by yourself without anyone else to bounce ideas off or share the stress.
Describe a typical working day…
8.30am – I like to start the day by leaving the house and working in a cafe as I find it's nice to start the day by going for a walk, and makes a mental separation between home and work. Here I do computer work which can be: replying to commission enquiries, answering emails from kids doing their GCSEs and A-Levels and wanting advice, planning exhibitions, editing my website, and more recently I have been editing a book of my drawings of Venice.
10am – I get back to my studio at home and sign and send out any limited edition prints which have been ordered the night before and take them to the post office.
10.30am – Start drawing in my studio at home with some podcasts on in the background.
1pm – Lunch. I always try and get out for a walk at lunchtime
2pm – I continue drawing in the afternoon and make sure to take a photo of my work in progress towards to the end of the day and then I share it on Instagram. Social media has been a really exciting part of my work from the beginning because when I started my career as an artist I shared all my drawing process on Instagram which was a great encouragement to me starting out, and now I have around 55,000 followers.
6pm – I like to end the day by going to a yoga class as I find it's a great way to relax and unwind from work and also is physically really good for my posture as I spend most of the day hunched over a drawing board.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
At university I absolutely loved model making and rather than doing my drawings on the computer I did all my plans and elevations by hand. I think this is when I first realised that what I find most rewarding is having the physical manifestation of my hard work in front of me at the end of the day.

Parlay Bets Pay Off for British Columbia Punter
You might not win all the time, but Parlay betting is one way to pick up a huge payout. Parlay bets (or accumulators as they're known in the UK) are linked bets where your winnings are staked on a series of individual bets.
If you are only interested in big payouts without risking huge sums, then Parlay betting is one of the most popular routes to go. Obviously it depends on the odds, but it's perfectly feasible to turn a few hundred dollars into a five figure payout.
An popular option is the eight leg parlay which is what one punter invested in last week with Bovada. He placed five hundred dollars down on four Major League Baseball game. Why only four? Well you can bet both on the winner and the over/under for each game. The action took place on September 16th, and Ho K from British Columbia was on a very hot streak. Every one of his parlay bets came in netting him a $57, 779 payout from a days of worth of MLB fixtures.
There's lots of different promotions on certain types of parlay bets, you can actually even win for just placing such a bet irrespective of the outcome. At the moment there's a $1000 draw for any nine stage parlay bet between Thursday and MOnday but check these out before placing your betas they change regularly.
They seem complicated and risky bets, but these accumulator bets can be a method of big payouts without risking a huge stake.
Play for a Million Reward Points
As slots enthusiasts, we are all mindful that when playing at the Slots.lv Casino, a jackpot can fall into our laps at any time. Because a substantial 1 million Reward Points will probably be handed out at random through a draw, this really is especially the case on October 1, 2015. The Reward Points will do two things: it will bump your Compensation Amount up and it will also be converted to money the same day; and a double triumph for you! since 1 million points equals $1,000 in unrestricted cash, not bad heh?
You are probably wondering how to get in on this contest, and luckily for you, it's incredibly simple. You only wager a minimum of $1 between September 14 and September 27, and you will automatically get an entry. No muss, no fuss. You can boost your chances of winning by getting more entries. For every day you wager at least $1 in Slots.lv Casino between the aforementioned dates, you will be granted a ballot – up to a maximum of 14.
If this deal seems good, it'll surprise you to know that it gets even better. Then the benefit gets sweeter in case the draw winner happens to get VIP status – the 1 million Compensation Points will be bumped up to 1.5 million! Keep in mind, in case you haven't yet reached VIP standing in MySlots Rewards, the more casino fun you have, the further you'll move up the ranks of the reward amounts because you always accumulate Reward Points with every twist. You can move from the Depositor Rewards amount all the way up to VIP Exclusive Rewards by simply doing what you love doing – playing slots!
Circle October 1 on your calendar if you played appropriate since you could see a serious increase to your bankroll. Start spinning to get those votes in because September 27 is coming up quickly. It only doesn't get easier than this.

If you're reading this, hopefully you've already picked up on the fact that we've sprung forward an hour due to daylight savings time. If not, you're probably late for something right now.
That's right, on March 10 at 2:00 a.m. we all moved our clocks forward an hour in what has been another edition of the bi-annual ritual of adjusting our clocks. In the past I've never thought too much about it other than the standard 'cool, I get an extra hour of sleep' or 'damn, I get one less hour of sleep'. When thinking a little harder, it does make you wonder why do we all subject ourselves to this? There has to be some good reason, right? Well that assumption is as murky as ever these days, as we're finally taking some time to call into question the usefulness of this society-wide act of straining our last brain cells trying to figure out how to adjust the clock in our cars.
Believe it or not, the first known usage of daylight savings time in the world was in what is now known as Thunder Bay, Ontario, in 1908. It started to catch on across the country and around the world a few years after that. So, we've been at this for over 100 years now, allegedly because it saves energy but there is little proof that this actually occurs. With the constant growth and reliance on technology over the course of the time since it was first implemented, it's hard to argue that we use less energy just because there's sunlight outside. The reality is it's a controversial thing; some studies say it saves, some say it doesn't. There's no definitive answer; so that brings us back to why are we doing this?
It's certainly not because it's healthy for us, because it's pretty clear that it isn't. Daylight savings shifts our internal clock and it has been found that the chance of heart attacks spike the day after we spring our clocks forward, in addition to an increase in car accidents and suicides taking place due to the disruption it causes. That's not all as test scores can be negatively affected and the stock market takes a yearly dive on this day. These are all known findings that have been observed from the years that daylight savings time was in place. With these realities being known, it might be time that we stop protecting ourselves from the unclear and instead just kick this ritual.
Some states have already done this as Arizona and Hawaii don't observe daylight savings time, as well as other pockets of communities around North America. There have been reports recently that the west coast states of California, Oregon and Washington have proposed the elimination of daylight savings and that British Columbia has began looking into jumping on board with that idea.
It seems that we may finally be coming to our senses. For decades we've been switching our clocks back and forth out of routine. Maybe it's just habit and that's the only true reason that we haven't yet gotten rid of daylight savings time. I can't seem to find a different reason to support why we keep this up. The point is that we should really start taking a more serious look at this. Do we need it? No. Daylight savings? I don't know, seems like it's more of loss to me.

Frugal and Floral Fun on a Dime
I don't know why I hadn't gone before, but when a dear friend visiting this summer treated us to a trip to the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks we had a blast! This frugal and floral experience fits in the budget rather easily. Click here for admission fees and information if you live in or are planning to visit Northwest Arkansas. There is a kid's section complete with a human-size bird's nest accessible by bridge, reading railroad, and a wonderful little butterfly house. We will definitely be going back.
Frugal and Floral Fun in the Children's Garden
This is a beautiful area for the kids to play in with a sculpted cement tree, magnet wall, and even a small pond. The reading rainbow train has couches for train cars. There is also a very large walking stick sculpture that makes for a great photo op if you have multiple kids old enough to sit on it.
The Butterfly House
This small, but beautiful little screened-in oasis was a hit with the kids. There are gorgeous flowers, sculptures, and of course butterflies inside a beautifully designed structure.
Walking Trail and Other Gardens
The paths are easy to follow to the different gardens if you have kids in tow or even a stroller. I definitely plan to go back when it is a little cooler outside. With events and activities year-round from firefly nights to Christmas events we can be sure to find the time for this frugal and floral activity!
There is also a native plants garden, and a chicken coop ( which is almost always a hit with small children), which are not pictured here.
The Japanese garden with the koi pond provides a nice bit of shade to sit in and cool off and looking for fish was entertaining for our bigger butterflies. This is definitely a must-see for Northwest Arkansas. My only complaint is why didn't I go before?!
Check out more ways to have Fun on a Dime for free or frugal activities your family will love!

Also known as the All Range Church (an alternative translation of全範圍教會) and the Born Again Movement (重生派), it is a Christian religious movement founded in Henan by Xu Yongze (徐永澤), known in the West, where he now lives (in the United States), as Peter Xu. The movement is also known as the Weepers (哭派), because it regards weeping as evidence of conversion. It was banned as a xie jiao in 1988, even before the first modern list of the xie jiao was published in 1995, and persecuted ever since.

In order to increase the chances for a successful relationship, it is important to optimize the fit between a coach and client. A poor match between the client and the coach is often cited as a reason for unsuccessful coaching experiences and early termination. Possible factors for practitioners to consider when aligning coaches with clients include personality preferences, areas of common interest or experience, and a coach's experience and capabilities relative to a client's developmental needs.

I really appreciate it when adults make an effort to engage my boys in conversation. It sharpens their social & communication skills and shows them that what they have to say is important. But some people don't give children much credit or take enough care over what they say when talking with children. There are two particular questions that adults commonly ask children over the festive season that make me cringe. I especially cringe when they are asked of my boys because they give messages about Christmas that conflict with those I am trying to teach them. The questions appear innocent and I know they are intended as friendly & fun but I would love to see them depopularised.
What do you want for Christmas?
This is the go-to question people ask when they want to open up conversation with a child at Christmas Time. It very effectively draws out even the most socially reticent child. I asked many children this question myself before having my own. It was becoming a parent that prompted me to give more thought to the materialism and consumption I was upholding by asking it. Other related questions, such as "how many presents are under the tree for you?" or, worse, "what is Santa bringing you for Christmas?" all make me wince.
If what do you want for Christmas? is the question they are asked most often at Christmas time, our children will reasonably assume that getting presents is the most important part of Christmas. I appreciate that getting presents is exciting but I wonder if the way children sometimes hyper-focus on what they are going to get for Christmas is an outcome of the way the adults around them over-emphasise it.
For our family, showing kindness and being with loved ones are at the heart of the season. It's about generosity of spirit rather than generosity of material things. I think a lot of people actually feel similarly to us but it doesn't show in the way they talk to children about Christmas.
Have you been good?
The implication of this question is, of course, that, if you're not good, Santa won't bring you any presents this year. Many adults (even those who aren't the child's parent) go further and use the threat of missing out on a visit from Santa to manipulate children's behaviour when it's not meeting their expectations.
Apart from, again, directing the child's attention towards receiving presents rather than the more valuable elements of Christmas, the suggestion in this question is that the child may not "deserve" presents. No child (or adult) is perfect and there's no need to undermine their sense of worthiness by questioning their deserving of a visit from Santa. Some children won't think twice when asked this question, taking it as a bit of fun. But the more sensitive or literally-minded will worriedly begin trying to calculate whether they've been "good" enough to scrape onto The List. Even if they no longer believe in Santa, for these children, this question may have them doubting their deserving. And, when you're speaking to a child, you can never truly know which type of child you are speaking to.
I'm no Christmas Grinch but, as with all things parenting, I am intentional. Although I know that people are well-meaning, their carelessness when speaking with my children bothers me, especially at a time of year which lends itself to emphasising our values and the meaningful things in life. It really does take a village to raise a child and sometimes I wish our village would lead our children more mindfully and towards the things that really matter.
It's time to step off my soap box and offer some suggestions. Below are a few alternative questions to initiate conversation with the children in your life at Christmas Time. Which ones you use will depend on the children and how well you know them.
* How are you celebrating Christmas this year? (Nice 'n' simple to get the ball rolling.)
* Who are you spending Christmas with?
* What are you looking forward to most about Christmas? (If they say "presents!", which I know my kids probably will,they're not bad kids with no sense of the meaning of Christmas. But perhaps say, "Exciting! What else are you looking forward to?")
* Who are you going to do something nice for this Christmas?
* What Christmas traditions do you have in your family? (Perhaps begin by sharing one of your own.)
* What are you doing to help get ready for Christmas?
* What's your favourite Christmas song/story?
* Do you know any Christmas jokes? (Have a good one of your own up your sleeve).
My list isn't exhaustive so, if you have other suggestions, please share them in the comments below.
Much love,

Getting the inn the news and not seeing anythng worthy of sharing (zoning appeals, reviews of concerts at inns, murder mystery dinner/weekends etc) made me want to ask you - now I was (well won't say how old) when MURDER MYSTERY WEEKENDS were all the rage in historic areas of San Diego...this was, shall we say IN THE early 80's...and yet here they are...touted like a new idea. Still.
What is new? What ideas do you feel are new to B&B's? What is worthy? Should be say "it ain't broke" so don't mess with it? Or should we be doing something fresh?

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,
I've got three words for you: Fall Out Boy! You've probably heard their new song, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" by now. The video for the song is pretty awesome. Where else are you going see 2 Chainz use a flamethrower? If you haven't seen it yet it's definitely worth a view or two. My inner pyro has gotten me to watch it at least 10 times already. The single made its way onto Fuse's Top 20 Countdown the very week after their Top 20 team interviewed the band about the end of their hiatus and what's to come.
The fiery pile of Fall Out Boy's past in that video is perfect for the metaphor of the phoenix, one that the band obviously had in mind when they named their new song "The Phoenix," now available off their upcoming album Save Rock and Roll. Posted on YouTube last week, the music video for "The Phoenix" picks up at the end of "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" with the opening of the van doors. It quickly shifts gears to be the prequel instead of the sequel video by using an "Earlier That Week" flash back revealing how the band came to be in the back of the van with their heads covered and hands bound.
These two songs are great previews of what Fall Out Boy has in store for fans when the full album is released on April 16th. I've already pre-ordered the eleven songs on iTunes. With featured guests like Big Sean, Courtney Love, and Elton John, I'm counting the days till I can hear the rest of their new songs. Even more exciting than a simple CD release is that Fall Out Boy called the video for "The Phoenix" "chapter 2 of 11" on their website, telling fans to be on the look out for chapter 3 which will continue the story line started in the first two videos. The "2 of 11" comment leads me to believe that all of the songs on this CD will have a video to accompany them at some point in order to tell the full story. That's a pretty impressive feat but one that is sure to pay off with the band's fan base.
While watching the new videos I decided it would be fun to play through all of their old stuff. I made a little top ten list of their songs that I'm sure I'll have to burn when the new CD comes out since the a few of those new songs are sure shake up the order. But till then, here are my top ten favorite Fall Out Boy songs:
1) "Nobody Puts Baby In the Corner" – From Under The Cork Tree
2) "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy" – Take This To Your Grave
3) "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" – Infinity On High
4) "Homesick At Space Camp" – Take This To Your Grave
5) "(Coffee's For Closers)" – Folie A Duex
6) "I Don't Care" – Folie A Duex
7) "7 Minutes In Heaven" – From Under The Cork Tree
8) "Hum Hallelujah" – Infinity On High
9) "The Pros And Cons Of Breathing" – Take This To Your Grave
10) "Pretty In Punk" – Evening Out With Your Girlfriend
Keep Learning Beautiful Thinkers,
The Boy In The Heart Shades

Trip Report
Mill Brook
A few years back I had the chance to paddle the upper part of this creek. While a good time, particularly the scenery, it was fairly tame with a fair share of portaging over strainers. We stopped that evening when night fell and had a bit of a hike back to the cars. Today's run would be a bit different but some of the same. Will said he had run this section tons while in college and had a fairly good idea of the lines (even after college parties and 10 or so years). Turns out, he did remember the lines pretty well. From the take out at Rte 2, the level looked to be low-boatable. And it was low boatable. A nice level for an introductory run. We started out, following Dick Cheney's lead to an undisclosed location, about 1 ½ miles up Tarbox Road. It was a pull off on UVM land that had a path leading to 10 minute walk to the creek. We put in just after the first, of what would prove a half dozen or so blow downs. For the first 10 minutes of paddling it was more of bog with a swift moving stream through it. And blow downs. We came to the first legitimate rapid / drop, an easy III but midway down we had to portage over a strainer. We quickly came up to the next drop and hey another blow down. This one was potentially doable but neither of us felt like this might be the best of ideas. From there down we pretty much only got out of the boat to scout. The next drop had a nice flake and small pool to drop into Will was very clear to stay center or left…yup, I ended up right. But no big deal. The wall was forgiving (Yeah). We quickly came up to the old dam, which we scouted. This IV drop is followed by boggie II. IN the middle of the boggie II there was another blow down. We had plenty of time to get out and avoid the blow down. As it was low, it was hard to get up speed to get a good boof off the rooster tail on the dam. But once again, it was forgiving. As we went along there was plenty of blow downs which were manageable as they were in slack water where you could find alternatives (which generally involved pushing off with your hands). The remnants of Irene were still highly visible with at least two massive landslides still evident. The next to last drop was probably the most fun. A fairly clean 8-10 ft water fall into a nice pool. The last drop was a bit manky but doable even at low water. You kind of drop onto a ledge (well almost) nose first. There was enough water that we both managed to sort of slide, without damage, pretty much over it. After that we had a short paddle to the takeout and then we were done! Not a river that runs much but one I would definitely get back on given the opportunity. I should note that historically, some of the landowners were not too pleased with boaters about. We did not meet any and so can not comment.
