Irish Troodle Temperament and Behaviour
The Irish Troodle is a happy, playful and adaptable breed of dog. They are very intelligent and eager to learn, which makes training easy. They are affectionate and loyal to their owners, but not overly protective. They are friendly and sociable with other dogs and animals.
Irish Troodle Activity Requirements
Irish (or Irish Water) Setters and Poodles were bred together to create the perfect dog. Their coats are soft and wavy, and their temperament is sweet and friendly. While they are not very active, they do require at least one long, brisk walk each day. They are also prone to obesity, so it’s important to limit treats and table scraps. If you are looking for a jogging or hiking partner, an Irish (or Irish Water) Setter-Poodle mix is probably not the best bet. However, if you are looking for a gentle, mellow companion, this is a great choice.
