Russian Doodle Terrier Activity Requirements
The Russian Doodle is a cross between a Russian Terrrier and an English Setter. Because both parent breeds are very active, most Russian doodle puppies will be as well. They are great with older children and are very playful and affectionate. Most Russian doodles will need at least an hour of exercise each day. This can be broken up into several smaller sessions or one longer trip. Because they love to run and jump, most owners like to take their dogs on walks or jogs. Because the Russian doodle is a very active, high-energy dog, they do best in homes with people who can provide lots of attention and physical outlets. This is not a breed that does well in sedentary households or with owners who spend a lot of time away from home.
