The Mini Sheepadoodle also referred to as, Sheepapoo, Sheeppoo, and Sheepdoo, is a cross between an Old English Sheepdog and a Miniature Poodle. Like its larger counterpart which has a standard Poodle parent, the Miniature version enjoys ever-rising popularity.
First believed to be bred by the United States Army in the 1960’s it has since become known that these designer dog puppies have actually been bred as early as the 18th century. In spite of having long and fluffy hair, these dogs are hypoallergenic and have minimal shedding. Their sweet and affectionate nature makes them one of the most sociable hybrids. They are fantastic family pets and make quite loyal companions.
Appearance and Grooming
These puppies favor the looks and color of the Sheepdog parent without fur-covered eyes. Their coats have beautiful white markings and patterns. Some of them have blue eyes, which may occur both in the Mini Poodle or Toy Poodle and the Sheepdog. Their black and white “shaggy” coat is inherited from their parent breeds and requires regular coat maintenance. Daily brushings help to prevent knots and tangles. Regular trips to the groomer are also recommended. Trimming and nail clipping are recommended every 2 to 4 weeks.
Temperament
These friendly, loving and obedient dogs are not only loyal but extremely outgoing and playful. Though generally very well-behaved, they do have quite a bit of energy so they need an adequate amount of play time both indoors and outdoors each day.
Family and Companionship
Their affectionate and loving nature makes them ideal family or therapy dogs. They do especially well with families who have children as they are the descendent of parents who are keen on being in a group or pack. These are very friendly and sociable animals who don’t like to be alone. They are great pets for both experienced and inexperienced dog owners.
Exercise
Regular walks and runs are very important for these active dogs. Twice daily walks/runs as well as plenty of toys for mental stimulation will be sure to keep your puppy busy as well as engaged. They also love outdoor adventure so if you’re looking for a hiking or swimming companion, this is the perfect match.
Training and Socialization
Early socialization and training are an important part of owning a Mini Sheepadoodle, so make sure it is something you give priority to. These dogs respond well to positive training, rewards and praise using a firm tone and being consistent. Their need to please attitudes and loyalty to their owners makes these puppies very easily trainable. Their desire to be sociable from a young age is something that needs to be nurtured throughout their adolescent and adult lives, as this makes up for a large part of their personality and behavior.
