Schnoodle
The Schnoodle is a hybrid dog, also known as a designer dog. The Schnoodle is a cross between the Miniature Schnauzer and the Poodle. It is not always possible to determine the characteristics, temperament or traits of a mixed breed. You will likely find the Schnoodle has a combination of the characteristics found in both the Miniature Schnauzer and the Poodle.
I have had two schnoodles, and they share common characteristics. First, very smart and easily trained. Second, very toy-oriented (big on tug of war and very good about retrieving toys for rethrowing), and prone to want to bury their “treasures.” Lots of playful energy. Very protective and vociferous in “sounding the alarm” at the intrusion of strangers. Super affectionate. I highly recommend this hybrid.
