Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low

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

Very high

The Poodle rates very high and the Springer Spaniel very high; 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 Springer Spaniel as friendly, playful, obedient. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
