We have a cavoodle, basically a smaller version of this breed.
He’s not aggressive, basically a big wuss-bag, but he gets along with our 2yo like a house on fire!
My biggest issue with the breed is that they seem to hhave no sense of self-preservation - picking fights with much larger, more serious dogs (German Shepherds, Border Collies etc.), and are one of the only breeds I have ever encountered that aren’t primarily motivated by food… ours in particular is a ridiculously fussy eater.
Our in-house joke about him is that he’s not a dog at all, but a sentient teddy bear.
My adopted cockerpoo x Labrador is much the same, super sweet, no aggressive behaviours but can’t comprehend that every other person and dog wouldn’t want to be best friends with him. He’s getting better though and is now much more cautious approaching other dogs but will still run half way up to another dog, stop and wag his tail until the other dog comes up to him which can be stressful. Super fussy eater too, I’m told that’s a poodle thing.

I saw a chichuaua attack my border collie once, she somehow flipped it on it’s back, put a paw on it’s neck, snarled at it, then let it go.
She handled that better than most humans would have.
I always think ofthis.
