[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no comments on the schnauzers (except that they are really cute) but wanted to comment on doodles, since we have 2.

You can get almost any kind of doodle nowdays - labradoodle, sheepadoodle, even a schnoodle.

We were specifically looking for a low-energy breed/gentle-giant (that was also hypo-allergenic) so we ended up with a newfypoo, which has all the cuteness of a "doodle" but the mellow temperament of a newfoundland, so a perfect fit for our family.

IME, you should look beyond the "mini goldendoodle" to find a good fit temperamentally if you decide on a doodle. And then, of course, fins a breeder with years of experience with that particular breed.

I agree with the above poster that some doodles can be crazy. Our second dog (an impulsive Covid decision) is a goldendoodle and a lot of work - barking, neurotic.

I wish we had put as much time/research into the second as we did the first dog.

The schnoodles do look really cute though

My family had miniature schnauzers and they barked like mad, but were amazing family dogs (and also ok for my sibling with extreme dander allergies). I’m shocked at how many mellow ones I meet these days! I had no idea they could be easygoing dogs. I live in a dense, highly walkable neighborhood, so perhaps the socialization and stimulation are helpful vs being a suburban family dog that’s always on high alert?

One of my siblings had an amazing mini golden doodle that was super chill. After he died, she got another. The dog is batsh!t crazy. From the same breeder.

My mother has a scnhoodle. It’s sweet but lacks personality and hates most other dogs. It’s heartbreaking because she’s a great dog owner and loves the social aspect of having a dog in an urban environment.

My dogs have all been rescues. I wouldn’t get anything else! But: I don’t have any allergies.[/quote]
