Love the temperament of a Scottish Terrier but suffer from allergies? A Scoodle is just the pet for you. With a Poodle’s coat, intelligence and eagerness to please, but a Scottish Terrier’s sturdiness and calm disposition, the Scoodle gets its loyal and loving nature from both lineages. Scoodles make great indoor pets and suit apartment living. They have moderate exercise needs and a daily walk as well as a romp in the park is ideal. They love toys so stock up. They also love being with their family and can suffer from separation anxiety if not involved in all family activities. They are attentive, alert and protective of their family and excel as watchdogs. They will certainly let you know if anyone approaches the house.

Fun fact: Scoodles have a long lifespan, often reaching 15 years of age.

Scoodles are intelligent dogs that quickly learn obedience training. They tend to be cautious and reserved around strangers and very vocal so training from an early age is a must. They are great pets for children and will be gentle playmates. They will also befriend other cats or dogs in the family. Scoodles do not shed. Brush their coat weekly and clean their ears, eyes and teeth regularly.

Scheduled six monthly health checks and visits to the vet are important to ensure that your dog is healthy and happy throughout all life-stages. It’s important that together with your vet a preventative health care program is determined and maintained based on the individual needs of your canine companion.
