Schnoodle Breed Summary
Devoted, Sweet, Intelligent, Energetic
These cuddly doggies are a cross between a Schnauzer and a Poodle, which can be Toy, Miniature or Standard in size! Since their creation, they have made a real impact on the world around them, becoming a very popular breed.
They get their lovely looks from the parent breeds and also inherit their character traits from them as well. This means that the breed is usually very bright and quick to pick things up, just watch they don't pick up any bad habits along the way! Additionally, they are a real joy to have around the house and as well as getting on with other hoomans, doggies and animals as well!
Fun Fact: They first appeared during the 1980s!

These sweet little guys are known for their adorability; both through their looks and personality! Schnoodles absolutely love being with their ‘hoomans’ and cuddling up next to you, so it’s no surprise they are often used as therapy dogs. Like their parents, these guys have a real willingness to please their owners but are also highly-energized and always ready for a game of catch – or just a run around the garden! Many even describe this group of dogs as the ‘forever happy’ breed and they are easily adaptable to many forms of lifestyle. This breed makes good guard-dogs, as they will bark at strangers, most notably the postman! Just make sure they don’t get into the habit of barking all the time. This can be easily reduced if you train them from pups. A really cute aspect of this breed, is they love to hold blankets and toys in their front paws – so many Instagram-able opportunities!
These gorgeous fluff-balls first made appearances in the 1980s after increased demand in Poodle Crosses! The original aim was to create a low-shedding family doggy that would be more suited to doggy owners that suffer from allergies. Un-like other popular ‘designer’ breeds, this breed didn’t quite reach the popularity of their cousins, but they still have a large following that is slowly starting to rise! The breed is a cross between a Schnauzer and a Poodle, although it’s common now to breed them multi-generationally (this means breeding Schnoodles as opposed to Poodles and Schnauzers together). It’s hoped in the near future that these guys will soon be a registered breed.
