More About Sheepadoodle Breed

Old English Sheepdog

Poodle (Standard)

Overview:

The Sheepadoodle, a charming hybrid, results from crossing an Old English Sheepdog with a Standard Poodle. Originating in the last few decades, these dogs were bred to combine the OES's gentle nature with the Poodle's intelligence and low-shedding coat. Physically, they boast a fluffy, often wavy or curly coat that can come in various colors, most commonly black and white, and range from medium to large in size. Temperamentally, Sheepadoodles are known for being friendly, intelligent, and playful, making them excellent companions. They generally do well in family settings, thriving on interaction and training, but their energy levels mean they benefit from a home with a yard, though some can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise. Potential health concerns include those common to their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia and certain eye conditions, making responsible breeding crucial.
