14 Terrier Poodle Mixes

Just how many combinations can Terriers and Poodles make? Terrier and Poodle mixes are some of the most popular crossbred dogs you can find.

The most common Terrier Poodle mixes:

1. Airedoodle

The Airedoodle is a cross between a Standard Poodle and an Airedale Terrier. The Airedale Terrier is the largest of the Terrier breeds so this mix makes for a large pup! The Airedoodle grows up to anywhere between 40-60 pounds. They also stand around 2 feet tall, which makes them large and lovable dogs.

The Airedoodle has dense and curly fur that makes them look charming and sheep-like. Thanks to their Poodle genes, they hardly shed and are great pets for owners with allergies. However, your pup’s appearance is highly dependant on the generation of litter they’re from.

If they’re born from a Poodle and an Airedale Terrier, it can be a little more difficult to predict what they look like. If they’re born from two Airedoodle parents, then they will definitely have that lanky build and curly fur that Airedoodle fans love!

Airedoodles are athletic and intelligent dogs because they were bred to hunt. Having an Airedoodle means that you will need to spend a lot of time exercising with your dog. They have plenty of energy that they need to expend every day. If you intend to have an Airedoodle, it would be ideal for you to be someone who leads an active lifestyle or at the very least, intends to lead one. You can keep your dog’s energy at bay by taking them on walks at least twice a day and playing games with them while you’re at home.

2. Bossi-poo

Bossi-poos are hybrids that are the product of a Boston Terrier and Standard Poodle. Their size varies due to being born from the small Boston Terrier and the relatively large Standard Poodle. They can grow up to anywhere between 24-50 pounds in weight and 11-15 inches in height.

The Bossi-poo can have various coat colors such as black, brown, chocolate, golden, and dark brown. They sometimes even feature the famous tuxedo coat pattern of a Boston Terrier if they’re lucky enough to inherit it! Their coats are short and curly with little to no shedding. Brushing them every day is sure to keep knots and matted fur at bay.

Personality-wise, the Bossi-poo is a loyal and affectionate dog. They’ll take as many pets and hugs as they can get because they can never get enough attention! They also fair well in small spaces since they’re relatively small dogs and are perfectly fine with short walks or brief playtimes at a dog park.

3. Cairnoodle

Crossbreeding a Cairn Terrier and Miniature Poodle results in the lovely Cairnoodle. This mix is one of the smallest among Terrier Poodle mixes, standing at a height of 10-15 inches and weighing in at 13-20 pounds when fully grown.

The Cairnoodle has short and wispy fur that is closer to the fur coat of a Cairn Terrier. They are moderate shedders and will shed even more if they have stronger Cairn Terrier genes. These compact dogs have adorably sizeable heads that make them look like bobble-head dogs. Their coats can also come in various colors including black, brown, cream, gray, and white.

Cairnoodles are sociable dogs with plenty of energy. They get along very well with kids and love to play. The Cairnoodle doesn’t take well to being left alone because they’re prone to separation anxiety. So if you opt to have a Cairnoodle, prepare to have a clingy pup that’ll want to go wherever you go!

4. Jack-a-Poo

Jack-a-Poos are the crossbreeds of a Jack Russell Terrier and a Miniature Poodle. Just like the Cairnoodle, this breed is a toy-sized dog. They grow up to be between 10-15 inches tall and weigh 13-25 pounds.

The Jack-a-Poo coat is more often coarse and wiry like a Jack Russell Terrier but can also be short and curly like a Poodle.

Their coats can come in colors like black, blue, brown, gray, and tan, plus any combination of those colors!

These charming little dogs are the perfect addition to any family. If you socialize a Jack-a-Poo early enough, they can be a great playmate for your kids. They love to horse around but they can also play too rough if overstimulated. Since they have hunter instincts, Jack-a-Poos are also great for getting rid of pests like mice!

5. Rattle

Mixing a Rat Terrier and Miniature Poodle results in the lovable Rattle. Rattles tend to also vary in size and can grow up to anywhere between 10-23 inches in height and 25-50 pounds in weight, depending on which of their parents’ genes is more dominant.

Every possible Rattle appearance is just as cute and endearing as the next.

Regardless of size, Schnoodles have a loyal and energetic temperament. They can be cautious towards unfamiliar strangers and dogs but can get along fine with enough socialization.

Scoodles are designer hybrids of the Scottish Terrier and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. The Scoodle is a small to medium breed, growing up to just 8-14 inches in height and 9-20 pounds in weight.

Their fur is medium in length with a texture that is either wiry or wavy. Some Westiepoos deviate from the white-colored fur, featuring a cream color instead.

They can get anxious when left alone, but you don’t need to worry because it’s hard to leave such an adorable dog behind!

The Whoodle is a breed that suits experienced dog owners. They are tenacious and have larger-than-life personalities.
