About schnoodles
A crossbreed of a Miniature Schnauzer and Poodle, the Schnoodle combines the best of two worlds. Charming, funny and smart, these dogs may be small, but these super-alert pups make excellent watchdogs.
Combining the intelligence of both the Miniature Schnauzer and the Poodle, Schnoodles are as bold as they are friendly. They are highly trainable, learn quickly and are capable of astounding feats of obedience.
Unlike many crossbreeds, Schnoodles are bred purely for their company and their super fluffy, allergy-friendly coat.
As crossbreeds, Schnoodles vary in size, color and temperament, but all share a love of people, a kind and gentle personality, and a high energy level.
Schnoodles love to go on long walks and play outside. They'rre great at playing fetch and will chase a ball endlessly.
