Description of a Schnoodle.
This hybrid is now recognized by the ACHC, DRA, and CKC. Schnoodles have become more popular as individuals are looking for companion animals that are hypoallergenic, train easily and want to reduce the chances of developing the health issues associated with the pure breed because of hybrid vigour, though the concept of hybrid vigour in dogs is debated. It should also be noted that schnoodles are as likely to be hypoallergenic as not, since the combination of two separate breeds will always have an unpredictable outcome. As with other mixed dogs, the popularity of Schnoodles has led to a rise in puppy mills selling the breed. This issue is perpetuated by the lack of recognition of the breed by the leading kennel clubs.
