RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I had a Schnoodle for 13 years. He was not only adorable but he was the smartest dog I ever had. I had 4 Collies that I adored, also very smart, but not as smart as my Schnoodle. I have been without a dog for 6 years and I just now put a deposit on a Schnoodle puppy to be born in September. I hate pet shops so I found an incredible breeder, Uptown Dogs. She specializes in Schnoodles and knows there temperments and colors because she has been breeding them for a long time. I am very excited.

I did not have a schnoodle but we did have a miniature schnauzer for 13 years. They sound like they are a lot like the schnoodle in their personality. We got him for our son when he was 9 but he really was a family dog. I was off work on long term disability. He died about 4 years into my leave. I did not realize how much I would miss him once he was gone. Since I was home full time he had attached himself to me.
As to being smart, you bet. I had a bad episode with very low blood sugar shortly after I started using insulin. It was at night and my husband said I was breathing strangley and he could not wake me up. Well ambulance came and got my sugar up enough to wake me and then took me to hospital. Sometimes when they bring your sugar up too fast you can seizure. Boy did I. For 30 minutes and they thought they had lost me about 3 times. After I got home if I happened to lay down for a nap, Logan would jump up on the bed, come up to my head and smell my breath. They can smell the keytones when your blood sugar is out of whack.
If he was satisfied he would go down by my feet and sleep with me. He was like a shadow with me. At least when he died he went quickly and it was before we had to decide to euthanize him. He was still enjoying life except for a skipping heart beat. It was while on treatment for this he just keeled over on morning and even though we transported him to the vet he died in our son's arms just as the vet pulled into the parking lot.
I could go on about his smartness( and bull headedness at times)but he sounds very much like what I am hearing here. His health was very good except near the end so we were lucky.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
"Buddy" came to live with us when he was 4 mo old. That was over a year ago. He is popular with the neighborhood kids as he's very gentle. He loves people, especially women. He walks well on a leash & could walk for hours or a few min. He's happy either way. I have to mention that he loves to "noodle" in the snow. Very smart although head strong at times.
Easy to love & spoil as you can tell by his picture.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I just bought a Schnoodle and we named him Stewie. He is the best dog I ever had. What a beautiful dog and such a good dog. Lazy but so loveable. Not much of a barker and potty trained after the 1st day we brought him home. I was told to put him in a crate some think that is not nice but they will not go to the bathroom where they sleep and it trains their bladder to hold it for those having a hard time for potty training. They truly are the best dogs I have had.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I have a 10 month old schnoodle who is the best dog I've ever owned. She is smart, playful, and easy going. Sometimes she tries to be a guard dog when she hears a loud noise but is easily calmed down. She is great with little kids and the elderly, and timid but friendly with other dogs. The only problem I have with her is that her anal glands need expressing about once a month, but the vet taught me to do it myself and is easily done. She is not shy and will let you do anything to her. Recently she was bit by another dog and I had to put peroxide on the wounds, when she saw the bottle she would come running, sit at my feet and stick her head up in the air for me to put it on. I have never had any kind of ear problems with her either. Getting a schnoodle is the best idea ever.

Jumble and I have been together for ten years! She had an electric shock collar when I first met her. (I have still never killed the people who treated her like that). I thought she was deaf when I adopted her. No-one ever spoke to her.
When I moved to South Africa from London she was my first priority! She adapted within ten minutes! Even though her age suggests she should start being a lady, my Jum will never change. Naughty, beautiful and the best friend in my life.

A two year old white female Schoodle was given to me recently and I must admit that she is a gift from heaven. Her temperment is everything you say--loving, smart, playful. I am not an experienced dog owner, but I do have love for God's little creatures such as "Charlie". Thank you for the wonderful, meaningful information. Very helpful.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I had a schoodle for 13 years; her mother was a registeered schnauzer, and her papa was a registered poodle. She was the love of my life. I had no problems with her ears; I would take her to a groomer every couple months, so I suppose her ears were thoroughly cleaned each grooming session. My girlfriend is extremely allergic to dogs and cats (dander), but could hold my schnoodle on her lap with no reaction whatsoever. At age 10, my schnoodle did develop diabetes, so I had to give her an insulin shot each morning. No problem. I bought those fake chocolate wafers made for dogs, and she got a couple only following the insulin. I would get everthing ready, then get down to her level. I never had to look for her, as she would automatically walk over to me. As soon as the injection was finished, she was wound up like someone put a quarter in her, as if to say "I did my part, now hand over the treats". The only other "problem" she had was getting impacted anal glands every two or three months. After having the vet "express" the glands several times, we had minor surgery to remove the glands, so no more scooting or itching on "that end". Like other poodles, she tended to be a barker, but a barker with attitude. She was small, but barked like she was a giant breed watchog ! Smart? She "won" first place in her obedience class! I could go on & on, but what I'm basically trying to say is, get yourself a schnoodle -- they're intelligent, loving, playful members of the family, and will not affect anyone who has allergies to pet dander.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
My kids have allergies (one even has had allergy shots for two years so far....). We bought a Labradoodle two days ago and didn't even get 30 miles down the road before the allergies kicked in and we had to return it.
I've heard Schnoodles are better fo allergies, but I'm concerned about the possible ear issues which I didn't know existed until I read this forum. We won't be getting a dog until next summer, if at all.
Also, I've heard that the mother has to be poodle and the father has to be Schnauzer. The nearest breeder does it the reverse. Is that a problem.
Thank you! I'd love responses about Schnoodles. I'm vgs1895 at yahoo.com.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I have had Bella for about 2 months now. She is the smartest dog I have ever had or meet. Sometimes she even acts like person, its almost scary. Schnoodles have a lot of energy and need lots of playtime. Leaving them in a cage while at work for hours on end is not fair to this breed. Bella's coat is beautiful and does not shed but needs consistent brushing so she does not get mats. When it comes to people and other dogs she loves both and I have not had any issues other then her being to happy and scaring other dogs.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I have recently adopted a schnoodle pup back in March of 2008. So far, she has been an angel! But there are set-backs.
Medical wise, these dogs are high maintenance. Schnauzer's have ear hair issues and in order to avoid perpetual infection, I have to a) get the ear hair plucked out every month and b) clean her ears out with an ear cleaning solution every time she comes in contact with water. So far, even with these measurements, she has had an ear infection every month!
She also has serious anxiety and abandonment issues. If I leave the room with multiple other people playing with her, she starts on a barking spree. She cries, whines, and paws until I come back. Great side to this - I can walk her with no leash, as she would NEVER stray from my side.
At first I thought these were issues directly related to my own Schnoodle, but I've talked to many others and these same problems are relevant. My vet has been extremely helpful in coming up with routines to avoid the ear infections. I would nip that in the butt as soon as possible!
As for attitude- I could not ask for a better dog. She is extremely loving, calm, friendly, and well-mannered. She was housebroken in a matter of days! She's never aggressive towards other dogs or kids (although I heard this is something she will develop in the coming years). I'm very satisfied!

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I have had a Schnoodle for 4 years and he has a wonderful temperment. The only negative about the breed that I have seen is that they do not share well with other animals. If it is his toy, it is his! and so is the other dogs toy his. He is quite possessive, however if I know another dog is coming over, I remove his toys. If one gets a treat, they all do - just like children. He is extremely smart, loving and very affectionate so his one bad "behavior" does not a bad dog make.

We got a 2 year old Giant Schnoodle 2 weeks ago. Jessie has been a challenge for us. She has some real fear issues (can't get her to stop barking when our son comes in) and she has a real habit of pawing and jumping up. She has gotten pretty attached to me (Mom) and paws me for attention alot and jumps up when she's excited. Just wondered if anyone else had the pawing issue. She is very sweet and loving and smart though! Don't think I've ever felt like a dog loved me so much! Diane A.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
We have had the pleasure of adopting two Schnoodles. Our first one was with us for 13 years and after she passed on, we adopted a second. They do not shed, have a very happy disposition, and will adjust themselves quite easily to your lifestyle. They are full of personality and soul. I would highly recommend this breed.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
Our 4 year-old schnoodle is a great dog, but definitely needs to be watched around children. He is very territorial. I have to put him in the basement when I have kids running through the house. In the summer many neighborhood kids come over to swim. He jumped on a little girl and nipped at her because she was running and yelling in our yard-then ran under the table in shame. I think she really scared him. The dog does not do well in chaos. Little screaming girls overwhelm him. He is great when just with the family, but is more terrier like than poodle in temperment. He plays well with our maltese (gentlest dog ever). Truthfully, I would have gotten a malteepoo if I could do it over again. I have a friend with a schnoodle and she complains about terrier like problems as well. I keep him in the basement when I have young guests. He is sweet as could be around the family. Also he does not always come when called even after obedience training. Stubborn terrier! I have had many dogs in my life and he is the most challenging. He did not show the stubborn traits until around the age of 1-2. Overall great dog, but I would not recommend him for houses where a lot of children are in-and-out. Although my kids love him and he travels well on their laps. No issues with my kids.

You guys are so right! Schnoodles are the best type of dogs, one because they are a mix so they won't get the pure breed diease and the fact that their temperament is so loving and cute. I have a schnoodle named Klaus and I love him to death. His emotions are the cutest and he gets along so well with my Bird Picasso and my hamster Cinnamon. My mom wants another schnoodle or a Bichon Frise for a friend for Klaus, but my dad says no. Oh well, I'll keep trying. TAKE CARE SCHNOODLE LOVERS!

I love the breed I recently lost a husky (Siberian) and about 4 years later I got Mattie (Schnoodle), and I love her to death and Schnoodles have no temper whatsoever, except she does seem to get a little bit scared around babies or infants. I would buy another schnoodle over any other breed anyday.

Doesn't leave my side, very lovable, every time my husband comes from work she acts like he's been away for years!

They were a little expensive, but worth every penny! My father in-law came to visit us and fell in love with them, now he's getting one. I highly recommend teddybearschnoodles. They have the best looking dogs and socialize them. Our standard pretty much came already knowing how to sit. Schnoodles are the best!

Hi... I have a 3 year old Male miniature Schnoodle..his name is Bailey... He is by far the BEST dog I have EVER had!! He rings a bell to go potty, he knows the names of all of his toys..when we ask hm to get a certain toy, he will get it out of his basket... he is soooo loving and affectionate..he will lick you as a way of showing his love...he cuddles and follows me everywhere when I am home... the ONLY problem is that he is a big, big baby...he gets deperessed when we leave.. I have never seen a dog that mopes like him..lol
We are excited to be adding a Giant Schnoodle to our family... we pick him up Sunday..I think we are going to name him Baxter... Bailey may be jealous at first, but are certain they will be best of buddies...
Try petfinder.com for hundreds of rescue Schnoodles...search the main breed, either Schnauzer or Poodle... There are Miniture (10-20lbs), standard (20-50) and Giants (70-110)...

We got Benjamin, our toy schnoodle in April of 06' and he will be a year old at the end of January. I have to say he is the best dog I've ever had. I have never had a pet with such a special personality. He's smart, playful, cuddly and loving, everything you'd want from a dog. I would recommend this breed to anyone looking for a fantastic addition to their family. My only advice is when picking a puppy, watch the whole litter interact. I definitely picked Benjamin based on personality first.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I have 2 schnoodles...Both very different personalities....Very loving and fun loving. I think they are the smartest dogs I've ever had. My boy dog LOVES his ball and will do anything to get us to throw if for him. This includes purposely shoving the ball behind the couch or under the table where he can't get it...Sometimes he even pretends to have gotten the ball stuck...whimpering and pawing at the supposedly blocking object...only to pick the ball up and run away with it when you approach to help get the ball unstuck. Both of my dogs seemed to do well at potty training pretty quickly but they were not perfect...I recommend offering treats when they go to the bathroom outside. Either way your dog will outgrow the occasional accidents with age.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
Hello. I have a male schnoodle that I purchased when he was 4.5 months old and learned that he was not potty trained as the breeder stated. I always read that schnoodles are easy to potty train but I am finding it difficult. He's now 8 months and has had 1-2 accidents each week (there has been three different weeks he was accident free). So now I take him out every 2 hours but was told he wouldn't get use to holding it if I take him out too often. And now I track the days and as of today, he's been accident free for 11 days. Any suggestions? But I agree with everyone, they make great companions and I am glad I chose a schnoodle as my first dog. Thanks in advance.

I have Giant Schnoodle named Javier. He is so cute and so big with an even bigger personality. Hes easy to train but smart enough to know when your not paying attention. Hes a lot of fun and remains very active, he'll be two in November 07. He is one of the most vocal dogs I have ever met. He has many different barks and uses all of them depending on situation, this had been a hard habit to break. Hes good with kids but sometimes he can be a little pushy and because of his size I fear he may scare or accidentally hurt someone in a rush of excitement. All in all, he's the best dog I have ever had. I love him too much.

He is loving, funny, great with kids and much like a kid himself. He loves to be held, and will stay there in your arms like a baby. My biggest fear is losing him. Even with his tag, his infectious, loving personality scares me, because if found, they won't want to return him! LOVE LOVE LOVE MY SCHNOODLE BLUE.

I have a Schnoodle that is 5 years old his name is Nemo and I rescued him from an animal shelter in Salina Kansas. He is a very loving and loyal friend, he is really good with my kids and is my lil shadow. I really love him to pieces and would not trade him for another dog ever. He whines when I leave him and is happy to see me when I come home from work. He is not much for stayin outside for very long times, he is more of an inside dog then an outside dog. He loves to sleep at the end of my bed at night and is very protective over me. He is salt and pepper in color and has the cutest eyes that are so dark, at times I think that he knows what I am thinking and does not stray far from me. If I get up to use the bathroom or take a shower he is right there waiting at that door till I get out. He won't move till I get out. He follows me and stays with me when I am in the kitchen doing dishes or something else. So as for the breed, I love this kind of dog and would not trade him for the world.

I have had my Schnoodle, Andie, for 3 years now and she is a joy! She is sweet, loving, friendly to all people and lots of dogs. She loves hanging out w/ my mother in law's Jack Russell Terrier and wrestling with him. She does get a little hyper when we get home from work because she's been in her crate all day, but we let her sleep in our bed at night and she was housebroken very quickly when she was a puppy. She does jump alot when people come in the door, but she's only 25 lbs. so most people don't mind. She is just so friendly, she wants to lick everyone's faces! She always calms down within 5 minutes and just wants to be petted most of the time. If you stop petting her she paws at you for more. She justs love to love and be loved. Can you ask for anything more from a dog?

I have a giant schnoodle named Max who is nearly 11 months old. He is very large (32 inches at the shoulder and 85 pounds). He is a happy dog with a lot of mischief in him. He is very willful and smart. He can learn any trick in a few minutes but will only perform them when he wants to. I had a hard time getting him to calm down when I come home and he had a bad habit of putting his teeth on my hands or arm when he came up behind me. I used one of the Dog Whisper's techniques to establish my dominant role. He was a changed dog overnight. Now he will go out with me without a leash (in a quiet neighborhood with little traffic and will stay with me as well as follow my commands. Max seems even happier having been taught his proper role in the household. The one thing I don't like about Max is that he is very shy of strangers and frightens easily by loud noises or something that moves toward him quickly. I am hoping that he grows out of this. Max can run easily for an hour with his long legs and strong haunches. He never seems to tire. Max is a great dog and may become my favorite of all the companion dogs I have ever had.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
Hello, I am Joy de la Ren. I am the originator of the giant schnoodle. I breed Giant Schnoodles of JOy. My dogs are xrayed, genetically tested, temperament tested to fit the family & potty trained by 7 weeks. AS many of our dogs are used for service, We do early puppy training & the pet owners get the advantage of the same training as we do for service dogs.
On our website you can read about the temperament & versiatility of this incredible dog. They are gentle, active, great wi kids, elderly, & disabled. They are wonderful dogs for agility, carting, horse following, flyball, hunting, S&R, guardign, water dogs, carting or just a couch potatoe pet. They have saved the lives of people, horses, birds & signaled for help for an elderly person who had fallen, saving yet another life. They are kind, nurturing, extremely intelligent & trainable. Pls visit my web site http://www.giantschnoodles.com . Feel free to talk to other owners click on chat forum. See the reindogs pulling me in a dog chariot. There is a waiting list for our next litter but still a couple of spaces on it at this time. I give a seminar on the puppy training I have done if you pick up your puppy on puppy pick up day. If you can't make it I ship anywhere & provide written instructions. I give lifetime support on the chat forum. The pic I'm posting of Xena was taken by Jeff Minton & featured in LIFE magazine. Pls contact me at caringpro@yahoo.com

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
Hi, I have a Giant schnoodle and she is the best dog. She is well behaved and has an AWESOME temperment. She is very intellegent. if you are looking to by a dog i would buy a female even though they are more expensive they have less teritory problems. Also they are completely hypoallergenic. my mother needs to have a hypoallergenic dog and she has not had a problem with her. Make sure you check him or her over well before you decide to take him or her home!! The picture attached is her at 5 months old and about 30 pounds which if you get just a schnoodle it will be smaller in weight.

After hearing some great things about the Schnoodle breed, I finally decided to pick one up. I've had her now for 3 weeks and found that she's a highly intelligent and trainable pup. I live in a condo and found no problems training her in fact when she needs to go, she would paw at you until you take her out. I have her in a crate during the day when I'm at work and just let her loose at night (no surprises in the morning yet). She doesn't bark, she rarely whines and just enjoys the company of people. She can also keep herself occupied with her blanket and chew toy for hours.
I would definitely recommend this breed to anyone.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
We got our schnoodle at 9 weeks. He was extremely easy to train. He is very smart and won the obediance prize at the puppy class. He has a silly personality, and wants to be a big part of the family. Do not get one if you aren't going to be home a lot. They want lots of love and attention. Our elementary school age kids love him, and he has been very gentle with them. He loves to lick, and will get excited with guests. Try teddybearschnoodles.com Good luck!

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
We just bought a schnoodle. He is 3 months old. He is a little shy and yet can be aggressive toward us when we try to bring him in from going potty. He actually growls. He is shy when we have someone over, he hides. I had a schnauzer before and he was so sweet. I hope Oreo turns out to be sweet. We are working with him and start puppy training on Saturday. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop the growling?

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I have a schnoodle and he is my first dog. He is four years old, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I will say, however, that if you have other dogs, make sure that you socialize them while the schnoodle is young. We have a Dobie and we have to keep them separated or they fight. The schnoodle is the instigator. I just picked up my schnoodle form the vet hospital (13 stitches). They are very cocky, and will sometimes get themselves into situations that they can't handle. BUT GET ONE! THEY ARE GREAT AND ADORABLE! MINE IS!

I have a Four month old schnoodle named Oodle Bug. She was potty trained, new how to set, shake and roll over all with in a month (not to mention she learned to respond to a name like Oodle Bug) I would definitely suggest getting one.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I just adopted a 2.5 month old cream&black female Schnoodle and all I have to say is, WOW! We have had her 2.5 days and she has responded very well to potty training. No messes in the house to date.
We expected a fuss with leash training, but we put the harness around her, put the leash on, and away she went with no qualms putting it on, or walking.
She loves to sleep wrapped around your neck which she gets to do after her first morning potty run - she's being crate trained. She also likes to ride around in the car in that manner.
She doesn't like the wetness and coldness of the grass in the morning, so she'll run after you and then stand on your feet to keep her belly from touching the cold.
She loves to be carried and will wait patiently by your feet until you pick her up.
I took a shower with her while holding her and she was just as happy as could be, she doesn't carry the "doggy smell" at all, not even when wet.
Being left in the crate kills her. She just cries and cries till you almost give in...but we know its best for her while we're working and at night to keep her safe. It's a pretty large crate and we found her not lying in her bed, but with her face pressing the cage like a little jail bird.
The only problem I can forsee other than us spoiling the heck out of her, is potential digging. She loves digging at things. Right now there's no damage, but there might be when she gets older.
Anyhow, GET A SCHNOODLE!!

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
My neighbor has miniture Schnoodle, he is 5 months old. Seems very smart , very energetic but not hyper. Very responsive to correction. Catching on very quick with potty training. I would not hesitate on getting one if I were you. This one comes from parents that will mature at 9 lbs or so. I think this mix is a good choice. There are several sizes to choose from. I've been the dog groomer for my neighbor and its very easy to care for. But yet I come from a reality of 2 Shih-tzu's, so thats a big range of difference.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I recently purchased a schnoodle named Lexi. She is the friendliest dog I know. I have been around a couple different breeds of dogs, and I would have to say that Lexi's personality best resembles that of a poodle's. She is gentle and fun loving. Definitely, a people person. I have a 9 year old son, and Lexi lovoes us all equally. I hope that this helps you in making your decision about this breed.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
We have a 6 mo old schnoodle and she is great with our grandkids, and plays with our cat. She is still working on potty training, we keep her in her kennel over night and during the day while we are at work and she handles it very well. We are doing this to train her to hold her bladder. She is very loving and its very hard not to spoil her. She is outgrowing the nipping now and I know will make a great adult dog. She has lots of chew toys, but sill manages to sneak in the laundry basket for a sock now and then. We just love her to pieces.

We have two snoodles. They are sisters born in April 2004. We have never had so much fun with two puppies. Well behaved, sweet, loving, will kiss you forever. They sleep with us and have become a good alarm clock. Nothing like being kissed by Sandy and Socks @ 5:30 in the morning. We take them to our paint store and they have become a favorite with our customers. Some come by every day to see and play with them.

We have a one year old min schnoodle his name is Basil and he is wonderful. Very smart - too smart some days, happy, loving, fairly easy to train, is capable of wrapping you around his paw. We are so happy with him that we are going to get another so he has company. He also fits through the cat door which makes going to the bathroom really easy.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
Schnoodles are wonderful dogs. I currently own one that is 11 years old and looking for another one. They are great with kids and know how to calm down and be home alone. They aren't mean like the poodle bread can get. I have pet allgeries but the schnoodles don't bug me at all. You will need to be willing to get them groomed.

I have a schnoodle that I rescued at 3 months old. I grew up with dogs and have always had dogs, and she is by far the best dog I have ever owned. She is extremely clever and easy to train. She is obedient and loyal. She is very affectionate, so if you are fussy about being licked I would not recommend this breed. Schnoodles get along very well with other dogs and children. My schnoodle is not yappy and is not over active. Although the breeders are trying to make a sale, a schnoodle really is one of the best dogs out there.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I had the priviledge of owning a Schnoodle for 14 1/2 hears, the best thing that could have happened to me. My dog was a female and smart, smart, smart and loyal and totally clean. House training was a snap and if I could find another Schnoodle I would jump on the chance. I would never purchase a pet from a pet store as their pets come from Puppy Mills and are imbred and not cared for ... terrible conditions. To see Puppy Mill conditions go to www.pet3@aol.com where there are pictures of the mills and conditions. Just so sad. I purchased mine from a local family and she was a great dog. I hope you have the chance to get a puppy, the love of it will be all yours.

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I don't have personal experience with this mix, but in general, I know that in every breed (or crossbreed) there can be a wide variation of temperaments, even with siblings in the same litter. You can often get a general idea of what a mix will be like by looking at the characteristics of the parent breeds, but even then unexpected things can happen.
It might be worth your while to find some books or other resources about how to choose a puppy. There are simple behavioral tests you can do when observing the pups that can help you choose the temperament that suits you and your situation. Some folks prefer a feisty animal, while others want a marshmallow couch potato.
If you would consider a slightly older dog, I would also recommend you check out http://www.petfinder.com. This is the ASPCA's online database of adoptable pets. It contains information from shelters and rescue organizations all over the country. One of the neat things about this site is that many of the animals listed have been in foster care homes, and their characteristics (housetrained, good with kids, chases cats, terrified by thunder, etc.) are posted on the website. Check it out. You may even find some schnoodles!

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
Schnoodles are wonderful dogs, but really act more like children. Our first baby was a schnoodle, and she was not only very smart, but loyal and loving as well. When our daughter was born, if I, or my husband, did not hear her at the first whimper in the middle of the night, Bugs, our schnoodle, would come on the run to wake us up and let us know that Amanda was waking up. If I were ever to have the chance to get another schnoodle, I'd jump on it in a second!

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
Your pet animal will only be as good or well behaved as you teach it. I have had three mini poodles. They are the best and smartest pet I know of. So says my vet, also. My hubby and I have to spell in front of my Tara. Guess what? She knows how to spell now. Toldja they are smart-!

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I had a schnoodle for years. Her name was Snazzy. She was the best tempered dog. She was great with our 4 kids. My husband rescued her from the firing range on an army base where we lived at the time, where someone had dropped her off. She was very intelligent and never had many medical problems. She was a good watch dog and very protective of the kids. Very sweet doggie!

RE: Temperment of Schnoodles
I found a site about Schoodles. They are a cross between a Poodle and Schnauzer. http://www.allschnoodles.com/
They sound like they are active but with good temperament. When getting any animal, make sure you aren't supporting a puppy mill, people who breed lots of puppies for profit and don't really care for their dogs.
They look very cute!
