The first time I heard someone talk about schnoodles I thought it was a recipe for a German pastry. But, no, a schnoodle, as I now know is a cross between a poodle and a schnauzer. They may be hypoallergenic. Or they may not. Because they are a cross-breed, the results can be unpredictable. However, they do tend to be good choices for people with allergies since they don’t shed.

They’re smart, personable dogs. Like poodles, they’re intelligent and like schnauzers, they’re friendly.

The dog in the picture, Ivy, is a dog I’ve come to know over the past few years. I dog-sat her and her co-dog, Lucky, a time or two and she’s a sweet, personable dog. She’s a lap dog. However, she also has a strong attachment to her owner and while she was friendly with me, I also felt there was some resistance. Maybe she caught the German noodle vibe.

But at least I now know that a schnoodle isn’t something you have for dessert.
