Schnoodles are a cross between a purebred Schnauzer and a purebred Poodle, whether Toy, Miniature or Standard. Since these charming dogs first appeared on the scene, they have become one of the most popular cross breeds, both in the UK and other countries. Not only have they inherited the adorable looks of their parents, but they have also inherited many of their character traits, which means that Schnoodles tend to be highly intelligent and quick-witted dogs that are a pleasure to have around.

Schnoodles require a high level of exercise, with daily walks and playtime to keep them happy and healthy, and without enough activity, they can develop behavioural issues. They may have sensitive stomachs needing careful dietary management, plus their coats, which range from curly to wiry, require regular brushing several times a week and grooming every 6 to 8 weeks to prevent matting. Schnoodles can be stubborn at times and tend to bark frequently and loudly, which may be challenging in apartments or close neighbourhoods. Additionally, they can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone too long, which can lead to destructive behaviour. Overall, they need plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation.
