Personality, Characteristics & Temperament:
The Spoodle is loyal, intelligent, and very affectionate. This dog is fairly easy to train being mixed with what is said to be one of the smartest dogs in the world. Being that this dog is mixed with the Poodle, they make a wonderful training student.
Spoodles often inherit the sweet and patient disposition associated with the Cocker Spaniel, provided that both parents have been selected on the basis of good temperament.
Spoodles are easy going and sociable since both of their parents have these characteristics. It is a playful breed that enjoys interacting with well-behaved children. Having a very sweet nature, Spoodles steal the hearts of many. Spoodles are best described as “social butterflies”.
Grooming your Spoodle:
The Spoodle should be brushed and combed regularly. As Spoodles are a low to non-shed breed, clipping is required. The amount of grooming required for a Spoodle will depend on the length of its coat. All coat types will require some grooming but Spoodles with longer coats will need to be brushed more often than dogs with clipped coats. Spoodles need to have their ears properly dried after their bath to avoid infections.
Training your Spoodle:
Both Poodles and Cocker Spaniels, which make up the Spoodle are highly intelligent breeds and the Spoodle is a very quick learner. Early socialization and obedience are recommended for all Spoodles. Spoodles are fairly easy to train, they make wonderful training students. They will not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with firmness, fairness, patience, and consistency. It can sometimes be difficult to keep your Spoodle puppy’s attention for long periods of time so try to make training times short and fun. Also make sure your Spoodle puppy will come when called in the backyard before going out to an unfenced area, as they have a tendency to wander over to new people they meet and “say hello”.
