Schnoodle or Poodle?

When we took Picaso to the vet the other day the office had two other poodles. Comparing Picaso with these other poodles in the office didn't confirm our thoughts he was infact a pure-bread miniature poodle. Don't get me wrong. Helen and I still love our dog, even if he is a mix.

Like a puzzle that needs solving, I wanted to answer the question: "What is Picaso?" We know for sure his mom is a poodle. Comparing Picaso to the other poodles in the vet office confirmed our suspicion. Pcaso has a shaggy, longer type hair free of curls. The other poodles are quite curly and hair a bit coarser. Lately, Picaso has become a charcoal gray - reminding me of a miniature schnauzer.

So doing a google search for "Schnoodle" actually revealed a number of sites and noted Schnoodle ad a recognized breed - although more hybrid. Wikipedia gives a great information here. Note: "Schnoodles are known for the "Schnoodle zoom" or "Schnoodle 500", wherein they run around the perimeter of rooms at very high speeds." Picaso is notorious for this when he is in a real excited mood. He is simply content on running laps around front yard much to the amusement of my neighbors.

I loaded a video to this post - my first one. More to come.
