Schnoodles 101

Crossbred group

The Schnoodle is a mix of two smart breeds but may be a little more independent than a Poodle alone thanks to the influence of the Miniature Schnauzer. They’re a great size for a family dog, slightly larger and sturdier than many of the toy breeds and crosses. This is a dog who loves family, but who’ll also keep you on your toes. Teach some fun tricks to keep that sharp mind occupied!

Did you know?

It may seem that the Schnoodle is one of the new wave of Poodle crosses, but in fact, this mix has been popular for quite a while.

Schnoodle coat care and colors

Both the Miniature Schnauzer and the Toy or Miniature Poodle do best with regular grooming, and so, not surprisingly, do Schnoodles. Maintain the coat in between with weekly brushing and combing. Acclimate to nail trims as early as possible to prevent struggles later on.

Schnoodle exercise & training

Loves walks

Exercise level

Both parent breeds of the Schnoodle are athletic, active small dogs. Regular walks will cover the bases but include indoor fun and games to keep those sharp minds engaged.

Class clown

Trainability

The Schnoodle is a very smart dog who learns things quickly. Depending on the individual, more or less "Schauzer-tude" may mean a little more independence when it comes to following requests.
