Height runs 16–20 inches at the shoulder, against 18–24 in for the Standard Poodle and 14–15 in for the English Bulldog.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very low to high

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

Moderate

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Moderate to very high

The Poodle rates very high and the English Bulldog moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Moderate to very high

Expect regular brushing and professional grooming every few weeks.

Temperament

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very smart. The English Bulldog as friendly, courageous, calm. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
