What Are You?

For the past twelve weeks there has been some deliberation as to what breed of dog Sydney is. The poodle part is pretty obvious, but poodle crossed with what?

We had initially thought poodle cross with jack russell, or jackapoo as they are commonly known, but comparing him with his best buddy jack threw up more questions then answers as although they look similar at first glance they really are not that alike at all.

A chance encounter with a lovely couple on the way to Woodcocks for dinner last night finally settled the argument. They had with them a beautiful six month old Schnoodle, a poodle cross minature schnauzer. Although she was a full chocolate brown version the similarities in shape and stature were immediately obvious. After a lengthy chat with them we came away certain that we now know what he is and a bit more clued up on the characteristics of the breed. Having also owned Schnauzers they were really very knowledgable.
