The Teddy Bear Schnoodle:

The Ultimate Family Companion – Loyal, Loving, and Allergy-Friendly

Imagine coming home to a soft, cuddly, and utterly adorable ball of fur with the face of a Teddy Bear and the heart of a true companion. That’s the magic of the Teddy Bear Schnoodle—a breed so special that once you learn about them, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without one!


 

What Makes the Teddy Bear Schnoodle So Special?

The Teddy Bear Schnoodle is more than just a dog; it’s a delightful blend of two of the most intelligent and people-loving breeds: the Schnauzer and the Poodle. This unique combination results in a dog that’s not only beautiful but also smart, active, and oh-so-lovable. But what truly sets the Teddy Bear Schnoodle apart is its potential to be the most allergy-friendly breed we offer at Smeraglia Farm!

That’s right! If you’ve struggled with allergies but always dreamed of having a dog, the Teddy Bear Schnoodle might just be your answer. Thanks to their non-shedding, hypoallergenic coats, these pups are perfect for those with more severe allergies or anyone who wants to keep their home free from dog hair. And let’s not forget those irresistibly soft, plush coats—petting a Teddy Bear Schnoodle is like hugging a cloud!

The Schnauzer Side: A Range of Personalities

When it comes to the Schnauzer, there’s a size and personality for everyone. For our extra small and small Schnoodles, we use the Miniature Schnauzer, known for its spirited, friendly, and alert nature. These little guys are full of personality—smart, loyal, and always ready to entertain their family with their playful antics. They’re incredibly affectionate and love nothing more than being close to their people.

On the other end of the spectrum, our giant Schnoodles are developed from the Giant Schnauzer, a breed known for its strength, intelligence, and deep loyalty. While they might be a bit more serious than their miniature counterparts, they are incredibly dedicated to their families, always watchful and protective without being overly aggressive. They’re the kind of dog that will keep a loving eye on you, whether you’re at home or enjoying a day at the dog park, where their playful side shines through as they socialize with other dogs.

The Poodle Side: Intelligence and Elegance

The Poodle brings a whole new dimension to the Schnoodle mix. Whether it’s the Miniature Poodle, known for its elegance and grace, or the Toy Poodle, beloved for its lively and affectionate nature, these dogs add a dash of sophistication and a lot of smarts to the mix. Poodles are known for their keen intelligence, making them one of the easiest breeds to train. They’re also incredibly social and love to be the center of attention, often charming everyone they meet with their playful and sometimes silly demeanor.

When you combine the focused, sometimes serious nature of the Schnauzer with the joyful, intelligent, and people-oriented Poodle, you get a dog that’s the best of both worlds—smart, loving, and full of personality. The Teddy Bear Schnoodle is a breed that truly brings out the best traits of both parents.

A Perfect Match in Every Size

Whether you’re looking for a tiny companion that fits in your lap or a larger dog that can join you on all your adventures, we have a Teddy Bear Schnoodle that’s just the right size. From extra small Schnoodles that are perfect for apartment living to giant Schnoodles that love to stretch their legs in a big backyard, we’ve got them all. And no matter the size, each one is filled with love, loyalty, and that irresistible Teddy Bear charm.

What’s more, most of our medium and giant size Schnoodles go on to become therapy or service dogs, thanks to their exceptional focus, trainability, and loving personalities. In fact, we’ve produced more service and therapy dogs from our Teddy Bear Schnoodles than any other trainer in the world. These dogs are not just companions; they’re capable of changing lives with their unique ability to connect with and support people in need.

Our Commitment to Excellence

At Smeraglia Farm, we’ve been perfecting the Teddy Bear Schnoodle for over 25 years. We were the first to breed these remarkable dogs right here in Alabama, and our commitment to excellence shows in every puppy we produce. We carefully select only the best Miniature Schnauzers, Giant Schnauzers, and Poodles for our breeding program, ensuring that each puppy inherits the best traits from both parents.

Our parent dogs come from outstanding bloodlines with many champions in their history, and we take health seriously. Each puppy comes with current medical records and a state-certified Health Certificate. We also provide a lifetime of support and rehoming assistance if needed because we believe every puppy deserves a loving home for life.

The Perfect Family Companion

If you’re looking for a dog that’s intelligent, obedient, and utterly devoted to its family, the Teddy Bear Schnoodle is the perfect choice. These dogs are great with children, other pets, and friendly with strangers. Their social nature means they’re happiest when surrounded by people, and their love of learning makes them a breeze to train.

Whether you need a fun-loving companion, a therapy dog to bring joy to others, or a service dog with unmatched focus and intelligence, the Teddy Bear Schnoodle can do it all. And with our expert training at Doodle Prep School, your puppy will be ready to step into any role you need.

In short, the Teddy Bear Schnoodle isn’t just a pet—it’s a beloved family member, a bundle of joy with a heart as big as its Teddy Bear face. So why not fall in love with one today? Your new best friend is waiting for you at Smeraglia Farm!
