King, a silver Sheltidoodle at 1½ years old— "He is just a sweetheart. He is completely gray now and weighs about 30 lbs. I would consider him low-shedding." Bred by C and S Ranch
The Sheltidoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Sheltie and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
Sheltidoodle (Shetland Sheepdog / Poodle mix breed dog) at 6 months old, bred by C and S Ranch— "The size of the Sheltiedoodle depends on what size parents are used. This puppy matured at about 35 lbs. Puppy buyers are reporting most of them to be low- to non-shedding. And their temperaments are very sweet and cuddly. At least that has been our experience with the older puppies that have hung around for any length of time. I am sure that the temperaments of the parent dogs do play a big role in the mix. These dogs are typically not hyper or wild but more calm natured. Great, easy-going dogs. Here is one report from one of our first litters... "He is just a sweetheart. He is completely gray now and weighs about 30 lbs. I would consider him low-shedding."”
