The Sheepadoodle is a mixed-breed dog, a hybrid of the Old English Sheepdog and the Standard Poodle. While this mix was originally developed in the 1960s as a military dog, it wasn't until the early 2000s that the dogs gained popularity with the mainstream public. Most Sheepadoodles inherit the sturdy build and fun-loving, goofball temperament from their Old English Sheepdog side, and their exceptional intelligence, easier-to-care-for coat, and desire to be the center of attention from their Poodle side. The combination of the two results in a canine companion that is entertaining, intelligent, and easygoing.
