The Lovely Hybrid Of Schnauzer and Poodle: The Schnoodle
The purebreds Schnauzer and Poodle are among the world’s most beloved pets so what do you do to have these two lovable creatures all in one extremely adorable dog? The answer of course is crossbreeding and this effort brings us the Schnoodle! From the names Schnauzer and Poodle, the Schnoodle is one of the newest hybrids in the world and it is slowly becoming a star on its own.
This new dog is considered as a domestic dog often it is adopted by families as a pet. This dog may be housed in a city dwelling, a rural home and even in a farm. A wide space is not necessarily required for its activities because it is not very active but not idle as well.
The parent breeds of the Schnoodle come in different sizes. The Poodle comes in Standard, Miniature and Toy while the Schnauzer comes in Giant, Standard and Miniature. It is actually up to the breeder when it comes to the Schnoodle’s size but most often, breeders opt for a dog that weighs between 7 to 16 pounds, which is the common range of a miniature dog.
Subsequently, not only in sizes the Schnoodles vary but in appearance as well. In terms of coat texture, some Schnoodles may inherit the Schnauzer’s rough and wiry hair. Some may also develop the Poodle’s soft coat but at times, a combination of the two differing coat textures may appear in one dog.
The Schnauzer has a distinct beard and so some Schnoodles may inherit this trait although it could be less dominant. In terms of coat colors, the range will go between the Schnauzer’s and the Poodle’s standard colors and usually these include black, brown, grey, white and apricot. Other color combinations are also common for the Schnoodles and these may include black and white, sable, parti and so much more.
The Schnauzer and the Poodle are minimum shedders to the point of being hypoallergenic therefore their offspring is inevitably a hypoallergenic dog too. In fact, many people opt to have the Schnoodle for its hypoallergenic trait. Maintaining the coat only requires weekly brushing and grooming every two or three months in order to keep the hair mat and tangle-free.
Schnoodles are relatively easy to train, clever and highly intelligent. As a household companion, they make wonderful pets as they are not yappy. They also make great watchdogs although they are not aggressive and they do get along well with other animals.
These dogs are also very loyal to the family, affectionate and are good with children. They are sociable and love to have fun and they mostly excel in obedience and agility. The Schnoodles, additionally, are not only superb family pets but excellent therapy dogs as well.
