"The Moodle is affectionate, loyal, and loving. They do best in homes with older, considerate children. They generally do well with dogs, cats, and other household pets."
The Moodle is usually a crossing of two breeds: Maltese and Poodle. However, in Australia, purebred Maltese are becoming rarer and unfortunately, starting to become inbred due to the low availability of suitable breeding dogs. In order to not only maintain but to increase the genetic diversity and genetic robustness of Moodles in Australia, breeders will often breed Maltese that have another breed in their background. Usually, these dogs will have a Shih-Tzu back in their ancestry. This has been very successful in keeping Moodles a healthy and robust designer breed, while keeping the characteristics of the Moodle that are so well loved. To maintain genetic robustness of Moodles we sometimes also add another breed, such as a Poochon. Moodles have become popular companions and therapy dogs. They are well-proportioned, sporty, and displays a cheerful and lively expression. They are active, agile, and alert.
Typically, Moodles are small, athletic dogs that are “square” in shape. They have dark eyes, a dark nose with ears that are often short. The Moodle coat is usually either woolly or fleece and is very low to non shedding.
Moodes normally grow to be between 25cm and 30cm at the shoulder and weigh between 3kg and 9kg.
They come in a range of colours but are most common in shades of gold, cream and black.

For decades the Spoodle has been a popular dog. Spoodles can be either English or American. The English is the more common of the two and is the result of a cross between a Poodle and an English Cocker Spaniel. The American Spoodle is a cross between the Poodle and the American Cocker Spaniel. In the USA the Spoodle is also known as the Cockapoo.
Our Spoodles are a small medium sized dog. Very similar in size to a purebred Cocker Spaniel. The sire is a Miniature Poodle and the mother is an English Cocker Spaniel.

The Moodle is affectionate, loyal, and loving. They do best in homes with older, considerate children. They generally do well with dogs, cats, and other household pets.
The Moodle may have a tendency to be stubborn. However, they are intelligent and eager to please their master. They will not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with reward, firmness, fairness, patience, and consistency.
Most of our Moodles go to homes with children but are equally just as suitable for single people as well. Many of our Moodles also share their homes with other pets including other dogs, cats, rabbits and birds but it’s important to supervise them while they are young puppies to make sure they don’t pester other animals like rabbits which could cause the animal to over stress.
Moodles are usually low to non-shedding dogs. They require daily brushing and combing to prevent the coat from matting. They will also need clipping every every two to three months or so.
Moodles need only a moderate amount of exercise and will enjoy fetching games. They are playful and some love the water. They are well suited for apartment living. They enjoy family activities, securely leashed walks, and off-lead play time in a securely fenced yard.
