Size and Appearance

• Size: Mini Doodles typically weigh between 15 and 35 pounds when fully grown. They stand around 12 to 16 inches tall at the shoulder, making them a perfect option for those seeking a smaller dog without compromising on personality.
• Coat: Mini Doodles inherit the Poodle’s curly or wavy coat, which is hypoallergenic and low-shedding. Their coats may be curly, wavy, or a combination of both, and they require regular grooming to maintain their softness and prevent matting.
• Color: They can come in a variety of colors, including apricot, cream, red, and black, or even a mix of these colors. Some may have patterns or multi-colored coats.

• Affectionate: These dogs thrive on love and attention. They are cuddly and affectionate, often forming strong bonds with their family members. They love to snuggle and are always ready to offer a wagging tail or a happy bark when their loved ones return home.
• Playful: Despite their smaller size, Mini Doodles are energetic and playful. They love interactive play, such as fetch or tug-of-war, and enjoy time in the yard or on walks with their family.

Exercise Needs

While Mini Doodles are smaller in size, they still need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy:

• Daily Walks: They enjoy daily walks and can keep up with active owners. A good walk around the block is a great way to give them the exercise they need.
• Playtime: These playful pups love interactive games like fetch or tug-of-war. Regular playtime helps burn off their energy and strengthens your bond with them.
• Mental Stimulation: Being intelligent dogs, Mini Doodles also benefit from puzzle toys, training sessions, and other activities that challenge their minds and keep them engaged.

Health and Grooming

Mini Doodles are generally healthy dogs, but like all breeds, they may be prone to certain health conditions. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Health Issues: Common issues include hip dysplasia (a concern in many small breeds), dental issues, and ear infections (especially if they have floppy ears). Regular vet checkups will help monitor their health.
• Grooming: Mini Doodles have a low-shedding, curly coat that requires regular grooming to prevent mats and tangles. Brushing 2-3 times a week is ideal, and they should be professionally groomed every 6-8 weeks.
• Ear Cleaning: Due to their floppy ears, regular ear cleaning is necessary to prevent infections.
