The Schnoodle will also need to be bathed on an as-needed basis to keep the coat soft.

Schnoodles make excellent family pets, and they love to play with kids and be the center of attention. Both parent breeds are good with kids, but of course all puppies need to be socialized with children to be comfortable with them. Again, socialization from puppyhood makes a big difference in attitude toward other pets.
