Schnoodle pup - one blue eye
Discussion
Hi all
We've found a lovely Schnoodle pup (Schnauzer/Poodle), 12 weeks old, decent breeder, vet checked, parents DNA checked etc. He has one blue eye, so does his mother.
We've been told he is Merle from one parent, and definitely not "double-merle" which looking online is the bad combination.
He's the last of the litter to be sold, people have probably been put off by the eye, but I'm not, so long as I'm not jumping into something I don't understand, which is what I feel like.
I'm sure lots will say there's plenty out there to choose from but I like this little lad and would like to have him.
Any experts or views welcome :-)

Not an expert, but our Old English Sheepdog has one blue and one brown eye, and apart from being very, very thick, and having epilepsy (neither related to the eye) she's in robust health.
My understanding is that it's related to two or multicolour coats.
Sister has a old english mix/mutt with two different colour eyes, and her previous Weimaraner did too coincidentally, although we think that was caused by her running into a glass door when a puppy!My understanding is that it's related to two or multicolour coats.
He is very handsome, welcome to club Schnoodle, ours is very clever but can be difficult to entertain for more than 5 minutes as once she has worked something out she gets her reward and wanders off. They love puzzle solving though so I would recommend finding some puzzle type toys for him to play with. Training as a consequence is a doddle though, Noodle has a great repertoire of tricks and can be taught new ones very quickly too, more than once she went to stay with my Grandad for a couple of days and came back with a new trick 
They can be very needy, prepare for and try to avoid separation anxiety as soon as you can, ours isnt great at being left alone and we get one hell of a telling off when we return. In protest to being left she hides her food bowl (no really
)

Luckily we have another Schnoodle aged 5, and can relate to all of your comments :-)
He has already screamed when we both left a room but our other one was the same as a pup and grew out of it quickly
They are such wonderful dogs, perfect imo
Ah apologies I didn't realise I was preaching to the choir lol! He has already screamed when we both left a room but our other one was the same as a pup and grew out of it quickly

They make excellent companions especially the whole, flop down on your lap and look at you like "why don't you love me as much as I love you?" routine. Noodle should have really been born in the 60/70's with a flower in her hair she is all peace love and harmony, tries to befriend anyone and anything, the bees, cats, rabbits you name it she just wants to be friends bless her.
Suzi is very cute
nice to see some "salt and pepper" ones, Noodle as you can see is pretty much all black with very minor splats of grey and a bit of a brown beard/tache (her dad was a chocolate poodle her mum was a salt and pepper schnauzer) MOBB said:
He’s such a little s
t lol
Naughty as hell but slept the whole of his first night with us thank god
I suggest you crate train him. If I am telling you something you already know, forgive me.t lolNaughty as hell but slept the whole of his first night with us thank god
Get a nice folding crate (so that you can take it with you when you travel with him), get a decent mattress base for it, and place it where you want him to spend his nights. We have ours in our living room, in sight of where we sit.
Then set it up and leave it there with the door open. He (other genders are available) will see it as a comfy safe space that is his and his alone, and will go in there when he wants a sleep. Both our dogs use theirs a lot, because we NEVER interefere with them or drag them out if they are in there. They always take themselves off to bed well before bed time, all we have to do it shut the door. Our lab has a bigger one just off photo to the left.
They don't see it as a cage, don't go down that thought track. They see it as their safe space.
