Sproodle

The Sproodle is a delightful and increasingly popular mixed-breed dog, a cross between a Springer Spaniel and a Poodle. Known for their intelligence, energy, and affectionate nature, Sproodles make wonderful family pets. Their hypoallergenic coats (inherited from the Poodle) also make them a good choice for people with mild allergies, although no dog is truly 100% hypoallergenic.

Sproodles are typically medium-sized dogs, with a weight range of 30-50 pounds, though this can vary. They are full of energy and need a good amount of exercise to stay happy and healthy. They thrive in homes where they receive plenty of attention, training, and opportunities to play.

The Sproodle is considered a "designer dog," meaning they were intentionally bred from two purebred parents with the goal of combining desired traits from each breed. While the exact origins are unclear, Sproodles likely first appeared in the late 20th or early 21st century, as the trend of designer dog breeding gained popularity.

Springer Spaniels bring to the mix their hunting heritage and eagerness to please, while Poodles offer their intelligence and non-shedding coats. The resulting Sproodle combines these attributes into a lively and adaptable companion.

Because Sproodles are a mixed breed, their appearance and temperament can vary. However, responsible breeders strive to produce puppies with predictable traits, focusing on health, temperament, and conformation.
