Living with a Miniature Sheepadoodle
History
The Miniature Sheepadoodle is a cross between an Old English Sheepdog and a Miniature Poodle. This breed is similar to a standard Sheepadoodle except that the Poodle used in the breeding process is a Miniature Poodle. The Old English Sheepdog is a caring, smart, alert, and loving dog.
