Whoodle

Mix: ½ Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier & ½ Poodle

Size: Most commonly bred with the standard size Poodle, but may also be bred with the miniature size Poodle.  Size can range from 25 – 40 pounds.

Coat: Coats are soft and long and can be straight, or wavy.  Can come in a variety of colors ranging from wheat color, apricot, red, black, silver, chocolate, or parti (spotted).  Low to no shedding.

*Many people with allergies prefer Poodle mixes as their fur is more hypoallergenic than most dogs.

Whoodle

A Whoodle (also known as Swheat-n-poo, or Sweatenpoo) is a mix between the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and most commonly the Standard Sized Poodle, but may also be bred with the miniature Poodle.  They range in size from approximately 25 – 45 pounds.  They have luxurious, soft coats that are quite long and require frequent grooming in order to prevent mats and tangles.  As puppies, they may have a dark coat that can develop into a lighter shade as they grow to an adult.  Colors can be wheat, apricot, red, black, silver, chocolate, or parti (spotted).  Whoodles are generally very loving and friendly dogs that bond very quickly with all members of their human families.  They are very active and playful and make a great family dog as they do very well with children and also get along very well with other dogs.  They are playful and energetic and adore going for walks or runs.

When considering the nature of the Whoodle, you must consider the characteristics of both the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and the Poodle separately in order to determine the characteristics the Whoodle may exhibit.

Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier has an appearance of a happy, strong and well-proportioned dog.  This sweet-tempered and social terrier makes a great family pet and is wonderful with children.  Their friendly, social nature is a quality that generally allows them to get along well with all people and animals alike.  They will bond nicely with all members of their human family preferring to be with them, and not doing well if left alone for long periods of time.  They are an intelligent breed that easily grasps what is expected of them which therefore makes them quite trainable.  Daily exercise is required for this dog as they are high energy making them a perfect candidate for someone looking for a dog to play, run or take walks with.  They will require daily exercise in order to prevent boredom which can lead to mischievous behavior.  They make great watchdogs and will bark at the arrival of a guest, but seldom bark unnecessarily.

Poodle

The Poodle comes in three different sizes, toy (10” and under, 6-9 1bs.), miniature (10-15”, 15-17 1bs.), and standard (over 15”, 45-70 1bs.).  The Poodle has been cited as being the 2^nd most intelligent breed of dog.  Their exceptional intelligence, paired with the fact that they are generally very eager to please, empowers them to excel in obedience training.  They learn quickly and will delight in showing off their new tricks.  Poodles are generally very easy to housebreak.  They are loyal and devoted companions, extremely people-oriented, and crave lots of love and attention.  They are typically calm, good natured, with a sweet temperament, and the ability to bond with all members of their human family.  The standard poodle, in particular, does extremely well in families with young children, while the toy and miniatures fair better with older children.  Poodles do not do well in households where they will be left alone for long periods of time, left outside, or bound to one room of the house.  Poodles have an extremely low-shedding, dense coat which is either curly or corded and should be groomed every 6 – 8 weeks to prevent mats and tangles.  If you should so decide, their coat can also be kept short for low-maintenance.  Poodles come in a variety of colors such as silver, cream, gray, blue, black, white, apricot, red, caf-au-lait, brown, and parti-colored.  The Poodle is oftentimes referred to as the hypo-allergenic dog.  But, while there truly is no such thing as a completely hypo-allergenic dog, they are unquestionably more compatible with allergic persons than other breeds.   Being classified as highly energetic, the poodle, like most dogs, will appreciate daily exercise, such as a walk, play session, or a run at the dog park.

Kirby is a 5 year old 70lbs whoodle. Coat leans more towards poodle coat, but not nearly as tightly curled. He’s a wonderful dog – great manners and easy to train. His mom was a Silver Standard Poodle (60 lbs) and Wheaten dad (45 lbs). Needs a long daily walk … as with most breeds. If he has a good walk, he’s very calm in the house. He does bark some at strangers and animals who walk by, but visitors are fast friends.

This is Sully, our 4 year old, 55 Lb. whoodle. His dad is a red standard poodle and his mom a soft coated wheaten terrier. Sully is a total love bug. His favorite things are giving kisses, patrolling the neighborhood on his walks, and getting treats. Even though he loves barking at every passerby (ALL THE TIME) he has quickly become our most favorite guy.

She’s very energetic and playful, and very noisy. She’s adorable as can be though! She’s decently potty trained but sometimes she pee’s when she’s very excited and playing. I’m her male owner of the family and when she plays she tends to bite and nip more with me.

Meet Wally! In this photo the handsome fellow is 6 months old and weighs 24 lbs. His dad is a moyen poodle and mom is a soft coated wheaten terrier. He loves toys, being outside, walks and finding stray socks. He’s a smart little bugger, only needing a small bit of practice to learn new commands or tricks and did great at housebreaking with the use of a bell. He’s a joy!

This is Yogi Berra, our nine year old whoodle. Truly the best dog I have ever had! He was a little nippy as a pup and EXTREMELY active until around 2 years old. Got along great with my two older children who were 12 and 8 at the time. He and my youngest (age 4) had some issues, Yogi tried to herd and be dominant, but it worked out over time. He is still very playful and one of the funniest animals ever! Only health issue has been skin sensitivity, which has been a battle at times. He is happiest when surrounded by his entire family. He was very quiet as a pup, but as he got older the terrier side showed with barking. Was very easy to housebreak and never chewed or was destructive. He got along and was very playful with other dogs until recently, now he tolerates them. I would heartily recommend this breed to an active family with somewhat older children.
