Description

The Shepadoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the German Shepherd and the Poodle (Standard, Miniture or Toy). 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.

"This is Bailey. He is almost 11 months old. His dad was a German Shepherd and his mom was a Standard Poodle. He weighs about 76 pounds. Bailey is a kind and loving dog. He stays by my side when I’m around and will follow me everywhere. He loves other dogs and kids. He is very shy in meeting new people but once he decides he likes the person they become almost like his friends as my family calls it. Everyone loves meeting him! He at 10-weeks-old was super quick to learn sit, shake and down. His recall word was let’s go and it didn’t take him long at all to know his commands. House training was a breeze with him. All and all I would say he is an amazing dog who is vocal and is to smart for his own good! Bailey is a big goofball I laugh at him everyday!"
