You’re probably already acquainted with the poodle, which is France’s mascot. However, have you ever considered taking a poodle mix home?

One of the most intelligent dog breeds out there is the poodle. They are also quite athletic creatures, which may surprise you given their reputation for being a little prissy. However, the fact that poodles are considered hypoallergenic is one of the main benefits of adopting one. This is due to the fact that they have hair rather than fur, which prevents them from shedding as other dogs do.

Breeders that want to incorporate some of the greatest traits of the poodle into a new breed of dog sometimes use poodles as parents. This post will go through some of the most well-liked poodle hybrids and why you would choose to adopt one.

Poodle Sizing

Poodles really exist in three sizes: Conventional, Miniature, and Toy, unlike other dog breeds that only reach one standard size. Medium-sized poodles are sometimes mentioned as a fourth size, however they are seldom seen and are often Disadvantagesidered standard size.

Due to the tendency of children to prefer one parent over the other, mixed-breed dogs do not often have a consistent size. You’ll note that poodle mixed breeds’ sizes tend to vary greatly since poodles exist in a variety of sizes. Ask your breeder what size the poodle parent is if you’re interested in buying a poodle mixed breed puppy so you’ll know how large your dog will likely grow to be.

The 50 Best Popular Poodle Mixes

Non-Poodle Parent:	Cocker Spaniel
Lifespan:	12-15 years
Height:	9-18 inches

Temperament:	Even, friendly, loving, intelligent

One of the first designer dog breeds was created when the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle were crossed. They have been crossed with both Toy and Standard Poodles, giving rise to a variety of sizes and types, although they are most often crossed with Miniature Poodles. A Cockapoo weighs just 15 pounds on average. Although they may inherit the Cocker Spaniel’s thicker, medium to long hair, these dogs normally shed less than Poodles do, so there is no assurance that they will be hypoallergenic. Cockapoos often have highly amicable, even-tempered, and intellectual personalities that make them simple to teach. As a consequence, new dog owners often make the Cockapoo their first dog.

2.  Schnoodle (Schnauzer x Poodle Mix)

The Schnauzer, like the Poodle, comes in three sizes: miniature, standard, and giant, thus its height and weight may vary considerably. If you want to adopt a Giant Schnoodle, be aware that it is a domineering breed that demands a strong owner who can establish authority. These dogs also have a propensity to bark, therefore you should train your dog to stop doing that from an early age. All things considered, experienced dog owners who are confident teaching their pets may be the Schnoodle’s best fit. If you are a novice Schnoodle owner, you may want to think about working with a canine trainer.
