[quote=Anonymous]Generally these are referred to as "Schnoodles" by the designer mutt folks.

They are a mixed breed.  As such, there is no "standard" or "normal" for them.  They may turn out to have 90% poodle personality/size/coat, or it may be 90% schnauzer.  You have to be prepared for either/or and everything in between.

The other issue is that breeders who are truly breeding high quality (health & temperament tested) dogs are not going to allow their dogs to breed with a different kind of dog.  You are going to get the bottom of the barrel poodles breeding to bottom of the barrel schnauzers.  This may change down the road if they start performing all the necessary tests, but in today's dog world those sorts of checks are not happening.

I am not a "rescue or die" person, but if you are specifically looking for a mutt, I'd HIGHLY recommend going to petfinder or local shelters instead of supporting people who are just in it for the money.  The benefit to going through a good breeder is the health and temperament guarantees, and a schnoodle breeder is not going to have that for you.  There are lots of schnauzer mixes on petfinder (puppies and adults) to get you started.[/quote]
