Irish Doodles are delightful - loving, loyal, trainable, keen to please, active, sociable with adults, children and other dogs.

Loving: they love spending time snuggled up with you, and enjoy a good tummy rub.

Sociable: friendly with other family dogs and pets, and dogs you meet out and about. They adore children and people and are very friendly dogs with the ability to be gentle around children.

They’re clever and trainable: if you put the time in - with early puppy-classes and training - you’ll have a well-behaved dog who’s pleasure to have around. They generally love food, and are keen to work out what you’re trying to teach them, and how they can earn that tasty training treat.

They may suit you if:

• You’d like an affectionate, family-oriented dog who enjoys the company of adults and children alike.

• You’d enjoy having a fun-loving, active partner on your outdoor adventures.

• Someone is around at home to look after puppy when young, and you have time to devote to puppy-training.

• You’d like a medium - large striking dog with low-shed coat, meaning minimal hair around the house.

Exercise requirements around 1 -1.5 hours a day (less for puppy). Adult Irish Doodles are usually quite happy to chill-out and snooze after their walk. May benefit from a second short walk later in the afternoon or evening.

Low-shed Irish Doodle coat

Poodles have low-shedding coats characterised by furnishings (long hair on the face) and tight curls. It’s these genes that need to be passed down, and maintained through the Doodle generations, to give our Irish Doodle puppies low-shedding coats.

To ensure this, we carry out leading-edge DNA testing, and carefully match mother and father to ensure puppies carry the right mix of genes. The dad to our Irish Doodle puppies, Barnaby, carries two copies of the Furnishing genes from his Poodle heritage, so all of his puppies will inherit one of these genes, meaning they’re expected to have low-shed coats.
