The Schnoodle is an intelligent crossbreed and has been actively cultivated by breeders for more than 40 years. Schnoodles are known to be active dogs, full of personality with long life spans, relatively few health problems,and gentle dispositions.
The breed is hypoallergenic and fits well into a household with pet allergies. These dogs socialize well with children and can live in households with multiple pets
A mix of the Schnauzer and Poodle, this breed brings together some of the best attributes of both original breeds. Gentle with children, this dog is an affectionate and playful companion for people of all ages. If you are looking for a family dog, consider a Schnoodle.
Breeding and training dogs is my full time hobby, having over 30 years experience. We are originally from Vermont and have been living in North Carolina for about 13 years. Our home is on 4 acres and our dogs are able to get plenty of exercise outside with us.

How We Raise & Breed Our Dogs:
Our dogs live with us in our home. They are able to socialize with each other, our cats and other visitors.
Our pups are socialized from birth. They are raised in my house, not in a kennel, and born in my home. Every pup born has been helped into the world with my own hands. All pups are exposed to household noises, cats and other dogs. We are handling and training them all day every day ;) Most of our pups are adopted by families with children and have excellent temperaments
We do not breed a bitch until she is between 1.5 to 2 years of age and she will only be bred until she is between 4-5 years old. They are bred either once a year or 2 cycles on 1 off. Each bitch is bred about 4 times before being spayed and retired. The is the proper way to bred dogs if you want healthy puppies.
Our dogs are groomed regularly, taken out to exercise 4-5 times a day, fed premium quality pet food. We feed Kirkland Signature Super Premium Puppy Chicken, Rice & Vegetable Formula and Kirkland Signature Super Premium Small Dog Chicken, Rice & Vegetable Formula. We also recommend: Wellness, Blue Buffalo or Diamond Natural Small breed formulas. All dogs and pups are kept up to date on all vaccinations, de-wormed on a regular schedule, on flea preventative and given any needed health care.
Our Puppies:
Our puppies are de-womed at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks of age, have had their tails docked and dewclaws removed, been vet checked and had their first puppy vaccination at 6 weeks. Core vaccinations are given at 6, 9 and 12 weeks & rabies between 12-16 weeks. All puppies are kept up to date on de-wormings and vaccinations including ivermectin for heartworm. They are eating premium "Kirkland Signature Super Premium Puppy Chicken, Rice & Vegetable Formula ". We paper train first, then begin crate training and housetraining. Pups are groomed on a regular basis. They are being socialized, handled and trained on a daily basis.
Before picking up your pup you will receive training information and a list of pre-pick FAQ on how to prepare for your pups arrival. You will also receive verbal coaching along with literature on how to train your puppy and a bag of puppy food when you pick up your puppy. Your pup will be groomed the day of pick up and it's nails will be trimmed. All puppies are up to date on vaccinations and de-wormings, tails have been docked and dewclaws removed. A health records form will be provided.
We strive to produce healthy well socialized puppies suitable for families with children. We start house training and do our best to have puppies who successfully integrate into their new homes. We are available to answer your questions and help you with your dog throughout it's lifetime. This includes re-homing your dog for you if you can no longer care for your dog. The lifespan of the dogs we bred is 12-14 years this is long term commitment and investment. What you get back is many years of unconditional love and companionship.
