They’ll love you, and they’ll let potential intruders (or visiting friends) know it! 6. Since neither the Poodle nor the Schnauzer is an attack dog, the Schnoodle’s demonstration of protection is more vocal than aggressive: all bark and no bite.
If they’ve adopted a lot of the Schnauzer traits, in addition to being loyal, they’ll also be protective. This breed gets along well with the family and will become a devoted family member.

The variations in sizes mean that if you have your heart set on the breed, you can certainly find one that fits your life and living space! Just make sure to ask what sizes the parents are! 5. For example, a breeder could mix a Miniature (medium) Poodle with a Giant (large) Schnauzer for an in-between size, and many breeders do just that. There is no regulation and little consistency within sizes. If you go this route, be prepared for a big and energetic dog! The next size up is a large Schnoodle, which crosses a Standard Poodle and a Giant Schnauzer, ranging anywhere from 20-75 lbs. This mid-size dog is typically about 12-20 lbs, and can be a great dog for a family! The medium size Schnoodle mixes a Miniature Poodle and a Standard Schnauzer.

The Schnoodle is a crossbreed or a “first-generation dog.” That means that a Schnoodle has a Poodle and a Schnauzer for a parent, instead of two Schnoodles.īecause it’s a crossbreed, there is less consistency within the breed. Combine the two, and you have a dog that is smart, energetic, and loyal! Not to mention, super cute. The Poodle is an intelligent dog with a reputation for being aristocratic – but who can also be a great athletic and versatile family dog. The Schnauzer is energetic, loyal, and a little feisty.
