Health Problems
Schoodles may inherit certain health problems common to poodles, such as ear infection and excessive anal gland build up. In general, the cross breeding of a dog, tends to create a healthier animal than their pure bred counterparts. The size of the Schnoodle can vary widely too since there are large and small varieties of both breeds. The breed can also inherit the coat of either the poodle or the schnauzer.
Sports or Activities
The schnoodle can potentially inherit the loyal personality of the typical schnauzer, as well as the above average intelligence of the poodle. The breed can also potentially be a good candidate for agility contests and for unique training depending on their lineage. The schnoodle is relatively a new cross breed and is not officially recognized by the American Kennel Club and is considered a mixed breed dog, or mongrel.
