Height runs 20–26 inches at the shoulder, against 18–24 in for the Standard Poodle and 22–27 in for the Rottweiler.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very low to moderate

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 Rottweiler moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very smart. The Rottweiler as loyal, loving, confident guardian. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
