The Schnauzer and the Poodle are popular breeds around the world and many are drawn to them because of their irresistible charm. Crossing these two purebreds, however, results to an even more adorable new kind of dog, the Schnoodle. The name of this hybrid, as a portmanteau of Schnauzer and Poodle obviously represents the two purebreds’ charms.

In North America, the wolf hybrid is also known as a wolfdog. It is the subject of much controversy. It is borne of crossing a domestic dog with a wolf, and the name is also used to describe their consequent offspring.
