A Sproodle dog is a hybrid crossbreed between an English Springer Spaniel and a Poodle, known for its intelligence, affectionate nature, and high energy levels. This lively and playful mixed breed makes a loyal family companion who enjoys both mental and physical activities.
Cons of owning a Sproodle include their high energy levels which demand regular exercise and mental stimulation, a tendency to bark frequently requiring early training, moderate prey drive meaning caution around smaller animals, and they do not cope well with long periods alone, though short absences are usually manageable.
The main difference is in the spaniel parent breed; a Sproodle is a cross between an English Springer Spaniel and a Poodle, whereas a Spoodle typically refers to a Cocker Spaniel and Poodle mix, especially in the UK, with regional and breeder variations in terminology.
A Cockapoo is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle and is one of the most popular designer mixes. The Spoodle usually refers to a Cocker Spaniel and Poodle mix in the UK while a Sproodle is a Springer Spaniel and Poodle cross. Both breeds are intelligent and affectionate but may vary in size and coat depending on parent genetics.
