Sheepadoodle

Sheepadoodles are very active and benefit from two to three smaller meals each day. Bloat can be an issue if they eat quickly, so you may want to use a blow designer to slow the rate at which your dog consumes food. They love to eat and demolish all the food put in front of them, so don’t let them fool you into thinking they are always hungry. 

As with any dog, consult your veterinarian about your dog’s nutritional needs and ideal weight.

Sheepadoodles are generally considered beloved family dogs. Friendly, obedient, expressive, and loyal, they love their people and want to please them.

Though they will bark to warn their family, they are not faithful watchdogs and shy away from aggression. Their energetic and hunting or herding nature will show in their running, playing, and swimming. Their intelligence makes them fast learners—and since they love challenges, new tricks and games are always welcome. 

Sheepadoodles are generally healthy and can live up to 15 years. To ensure the best quality of life for a Sheepadoodle, consider learning more about the genetic health risks most likely to impact this combination of breeds.
