The Sheepadoodle is a charming cross between the Old English Sheepdog and the Poodle. Known for their fluffy “teddy bear” looks and people-oriented personalities, Sheepadoodles are affectionate, intelligent, and wonderfully devoted to their families. They tend to be social, fun-loving dogs who enjoy being part of everyday life and are a great fit for families looking for a loyal companion.

​

Size & Weight

Sheepadoodles come in different sizes depending on their Poodle parent:

• Standard Sheepadoodles typically weigh 50 to 80 pounds and stand around 21 to 26 inches tall.

• Mini Sheepadoodles generally weigh 25 to 45 pounds and measure about 16 to 20 inches tall.

Their size, combined with their gentle nature, makes them versatile family dogs who can do well in a variety of home environments, as long as they get regular attention and exercise.

​

Temperament

Sheepadoodles are known for being affectionate, loyal, and eager to please. They usually bond closely with their families and love to be involved in whatever their people are doing—whether that’s playing in the yard, going for a walk, or relaxing on the couch.

They tend to be gentle with children and can make wonderful family dogs when properly socialized. Thanks to their Poodle and Old English Sheepdog heritage, most Sheepadoodles are intelligent and responsive, which makes training straightforward with positive reinforcement.

Some Sheepadoodles may show mild herding tendencies, especially around running children, so early guidance and clear boundaries are helpful. With consistent training and plenty of interaction, they grow into well-mannered, steady companions.

​

Activity Level

Sheepadoodles have a moderate activity level, similar to our Bernedoodles. They enjoy daily walks, playtime, and opportunities to stretch their legs, but they are not typically extreme high-energy dogs.

Most Sheepadoodles are happiest with a balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation—think walks, backyard play, puzzle toys, and short training sessions. They thrive in homes where they can be included in family activities and don’t do their best if left alone for long periods.

For families seeking a loving, playful, and devoted doodle who enjoys both outdoor fun and cozy time at home, the Sheepadoodle is a wonderful choice.
