Whoodles are outgoing, bright, and affectionate. They tend to bond closely with their humans and do best in homes where they get plenty of attention and stimulation. Without structure or activity, they may become overly excitable or mischievous.

They are excellent candidates for obedience, agility, and even therapy work, thanks to their eagerness to learn and sociable temperament. Early training is key to managing their energy and any stubborn streaks inherited from the terrier side.

Coat type can vary, but most Whoodles require regular grooming and professional trimming to prevent matting.

The Whoodle is a designer dog breed created by crossing a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier with a Poodle (typically Miniature or Standard). This mix results in a medium-sized, affectionate, and lively companion that’s both people-oriented and allergy-friendly.

Whoodles inherit the best of both worlds: the terrier’s spirited personality and the Poodle’s intelligence and trainability. They often have a soft, wavy to curly coat that sheds minimally and makes them a popular choice for allergy-sensitive households.

Their friendly nature, playfulness, and adaptability make them well-suited to active individuals or families who want a dog that thrives on interaction, training, and adventure.
