The Goldendoodle, a popular Poodle-Golden Retriever mix, is known for its energy, sociability, and affection. Ideal for families with kids and pets, they need regular exercise, about 60 minutes daily. Their friendly nature makes them great companions, but owners must commit to their exercise needs for a happy, healthy pet.
Cavapoos are small, affectionate, and playful dogs that are great with children. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them easy to train. With a coat similar to Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, regular brushing can help manage shedding. Supervision is important during play to prevent accidental roughhousing injuries to the dog.
Labradoodles are undoubtedly one of the most popular Poodle mixes. They are friendly and affectionate, slightly smaller than Goldendoodles. They suit families lacking space but require ample exercise. Unsuitable for apartments due to high energy levels, they may exhibit restlessness and destructive behavior without proper mental stimulation and activity. Owners must cater to their exercise needs for a harmonious bond.
Maltipoos are affectionate, playful, and small, adapting well to various living spaces like apartments. They are beginner-friendly and easy to train but dislike being alone, making them unsuitable for those with long work hours. Potential owners should consider their need for companionship before getting a Maltipoo.
The Cockapoo, a cross between Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, is an ancient designer breed known for its size variety. Typically bred with Miniature Poodles, they weigh around 15 pounds. While their coat type varies, they may not always be hypoallergenic. Intelligent, affectionate, and easy to train, they suit first-time owners well.
The Aussiedoodle, also known as Aussiepoo, is a family-friendly dog forming strong bonds with caregivers and often used as therapy dogs. Highly intelligent and trainable, they vary in size based on Poodle parentage. With Australian Shepherd herding instincts, they may try to herd other pets, impacting their interactions.
The Yorkiepoo, a cross between Toy Poodles and Yorkshire Terriers, is one of the smallest hybrids, weighing up to 14 pounds. Their size allows them to thrive in apartments with minimal exercise requirements, catering well to seniors who prefer shorter walks. They are a suitable choice for those seeking a low-energy, small companion.
Schnoodles, a mix of Schnauzer and Poodle, are loyal and affectionate companions. Available in Miniature, Standard, and Giant sizes, their characteristics vary widely. Giant Schnoodles may require firm handling due to dominance tendencies. They are prone to frequent barking, necessitating early training. This cross-breed is highly recommended for experienced owners or those willing to seek professional training.
The St. Berdoodle, the largest poodle mix weighing up to 150 pounds, has a substantial appetite requiring 4 to 10 cups of food daily. Despite their size, they require only about an hour of exercise per day. Being a laid-back breed like the Saint Bernard, St. Berdoodles enjoy leisurely activities and daytime naps.
Jack-a-Poos have Jack Russell Terrier and Toy or Miniature Poodle parents. With two very intelligent parents, you can expect your Jack-a-Poo to be a smart dog that learns quickly. However, they have a stubborn streak that can make training challenging if you are not experienced. Jack-a-Poos are also energetic and need to stay active both physically and mentally.
