Irish Setter

Poodle (Miniature)

Overview:

The Irish Doodle (Miniature) is a charming and intelligent hybrid, resulting from the cross between a Miniature Poodle and an Irish Setter. Originating from the desire to blend the Poodle's low-shedding coat and intellect with the Irish Setter's friendly nature and striking red coloring, this designer breed is gaining popularity. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 25-45 pounds, with a soft, wavy to curly coat that can range from various shades of red to apricot. Their temperament is generally described as affectionate, playful, and eager to please, making them excellent companions. They adapt well to various living situations, including apartments, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. Their intelligence makes them highly trainable, though early socialization is always beneficial. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of health concerns common to the parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and certain cancers. With proper care and training, the Miniature Irish Doodle makes a loyal and loving family pet.
