In the designer-dog decade, hybrid vigour is in vogue, and the Schnoodle is a vigorous and affectionate hybrid. Of continental descent, the Schnoodle boasts the Schnauzer breeds and the Poodle as his well-bred parents. Comely and cuddly, this exciting crossbreed dog has his fans lined up along the runway of designer-dog fame, all eager to welcome his perfect blend of pure-bred virtues. He is intelligent, easy to train and discerning, qualities he gains from his Poodle parent, and he is alert, eager to please and high-spirited, traits he shares with his Schnauzer parent. A true "people" dog, the Schnoodle makes a playful, clever companion for children and adults alike; he is also blest with a virtually non-shedding coat, a feature that has attracted many owners to the Schnoodle tribe. Written by longtime breeders and trainers Carol Bobrowsky and Jim Gladden, this "Designer Dog Series" edition dedicated to the Schnoodle delivers their years of insight and knowledge about dog ownership, care and breeding, illustrated with wonderful colour images by famed dog photographer, Mary Bloom.
In addition to the development of the Schnoodle and its characteristics, the book includes chapters on selecting the perfect puppy, rearing, training, breeding and much more.
