Schnoodle

Fluffy like the Poodle, but sporting the distinctive muzzle of the Schnauzer, these uniquely gorgeous pups need regular grooming to keep them looking their best.

Smart and energetic, they need regular exercise and socialization to ward of boredom-induced destructive behavior.

Is the Schnoodle a good family dog? Yes, Schnoodles love people and have a gentle temperament.

Do Schnoodles bark a lot? Schnoodles are protective and do have a tendency to bark, which makes them good watchdogs. Train them as puppies to curb excessive barking.

Do Schnoodles like to cuddle? Yes, Schnoodles love people and are affectionate. They're not couch potatoes though - they also love walks and playtime.

A cross between a Miniature Schnauzer and a Poodle, Schnoodles have a life expectancy of 13 – 17 years.  Schnoodles are generally healthy when responsibly bred from health screened parents.  With proper care and yearly vet exams, the majority of Schnoodles will live long and healthy lives. Monitor your dog for any physical or behavioral changes, and contact your veterinarian with any concerns.
