About the Schnoodle

 The Schnoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Schnauzer and the Poodle. When looking for a Schnoodle pup, one should always purchase a 1st generation Schnoodle. Not all Schnoodles are being bred purebred Schnauzer to  purebred Poodle.  This is necessary if you want to have the 50/50 mix of the two breeds.  Our upcoming litter is a 1st generation Schnoodle.

Because the Sire is an AKC Toy Poodle and the Dam is an ACA Miniature Schnauzer, the resulting pups will be registered with the ICA (International Canine Association).  This is the only registry that currently registers the pedigrees of the most popular designer breeds.  It is important to have a registered Schnoodle because then you will have a record of his parentage.

     The Schnoodle is very loyal to his family, affectionate, extremely intelligent, easily trained, clever, friendly, fun loving, with plenty of personality! They are good with children and get along fine with other animals. They are great watchdogs because they will let you know when someone is near, but they are non-aggressive. Most are not yappy dogs. They love car rides. This great companion dog excels in obedience, agility, flyball, and make excellent therapy dogs, they are first and foremost a loyal and loving companion! They would be fine in an apartment or on a farm, as long as they are with their family. These dogs are so loyal and affectionate they would not be happy kept outdoors. As far as exercise, the Schnoodle is very adaptable. A game of fetch played in the house or a 5 mile jog, either one is fine with them.

Hypo-allergetic:  Both the Poodle and the Schnauzer are hypo-allergetic, and therefore the Schnoodle is great for allergy sufferers.

Grooming:  Because the Poodle and the Schnauzer both do not shed, the Schnoodle does not shed.  They must be brushed weekly and clipped every 6 to 12 weeks depending on the length of hair preferred. Their nails should be kept trimmed. The Schnoodle sheds little to no hair and is considered good for allergy sufferers.

Hybrid Vigor:  People choose the Schnoodle hybrid because when healthy purebreds with no known genetic defects are bred, the resulting puppies are generally known to be healthier dogs.  Any defects that might be found in either breed are weakened in the hybrid.

Excellent Family Dogs: The poodle is a breed that is generally not recommended for children because its bone structure is somewhat fragile.  But by crossing it with a Schnauzer the resulting pup is sturdy and a great family dog.  Both the Sire and Dam of this litter are known to have excellent dispositions.  This litter will have the genetics to be especially good family dogs.

Intelligent:  Both the Poodle and the Mini Schnauzer are known to be intelligent dogs.  Poodles are considered to be one of the smartest breeds.  Therefore, the resulting Schnoodles will be highly intelligent and trainable.
