Creating canine crosses has led to some popular hybrid dogs; some with distinctive designations, like the Schnoodle.
The Schnoodle is a Schnauzer Poodle mix. It can come in a variety of sizes, from a tiny toy to a sixty pounder, with the most popular being the miniature. Their coats can vary in texture, from wiry to soft and curly. Generally, schnoodles are intelligent, loyal and affectionate, making them good family pets.
The schnauzer in them might make them bark at strangers, but they are not known to be aggressive. Schnoodles are generally quite active, but exercise needs will vary, depending on the dog's size.
When considering any crossbreed, do your research, since traits from either breed can show up in a puppy.
