History: The Sheepadoodle is a fluffy, lovable hybrid of the Old English Sheepdog and the Standard Poodle. These designer dogs were likely among the variety of breeds to develop during the "designer dog craze" that happened in the United States during the 1980s and 90s. During this time, many purebred dogs were crossed with Poodles in attempt to create a dog that inherited the hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle. This is how the Sheepadoodle was developed, along with many other "Doodle" breeds. As a designer dog, the Sheepadoodle isn't eligible for American Kennel Club (AKC) registration, but the breed is recognized by the Dog Registry of America (DRA), the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), and the International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR).

Temperament: The Sheepadoodle is a gentle, affectionate dog that does well with children and makes a wonderful family pet. These dogs are at their happiest when they're involved in the family's activities, whether it's a walk in the woods or a nap on the couch. Since they enjoy being around their family so much, Sheepadoodles are not a breed that can be left by themselves for long periods of time. Like their Poodle parent, Sheepadoodles are intelligent dogs that are not difficult to train. Their obedience and love to please makes them a good choice for novice dog owners. Over all, the Sheepadoodle's friendly, easygoing nature makes them a delightful companion.
