Breed: Scoodle (A Poodle and Scottish Terrier hybrid mix)
Breed Group: NA/Hybrid

The Scoodle is not a purebred dog, nor is it an AKC recognized breed. Scoodle dogs are a hybrid or cross breed developed from Scottish Terriers and Poodles. However, the cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC).

Being a hybrid breed, Scoodles are likely to end up with traits from both parent breeds. Typically, a Scoodle will show the curly Poodle coat, but personality can differ depending on the mix. The breed has short limbs and is generally small. The coat is either short and wiry or medium in length and curly.

A Scoodles temperament could be anything in between the parents or perhaps have the traits of both. Despite their Poodle heritage, the Scoodle will often still shed (though a moderate amount). The coat for this mix is medium length and should be brushed regularly to keep it clean and tangle-free.

Some Scoodle are true crosses between Scottish Terriers and Poodles, while others are the result of successive generations, created by breeding Scoodle with Scoodle. These dogs are typically referred to as “multigenerational.”

In terms of health issues, veterinarians and breeders suggest that you ask about the dog’s risk for patellar luxation, liver shunts, hypoglycemia, pancreatitis and lymphangiactasia. Typically though, hybrid breeds are less vulnerable to breed-specific or genetic health issues.
