Springerdoodle History

The Springerdoodle is a mixed-breed type of dog that results from breeding a purebred English Springer Spaniel with a purebred Poodle. The origin of the term “Springerdoodle” is unknown. It is believed to be a portmanteau of the words “springer” (a Pointer or Retriever) and “poodle”. When the term was coined in the mid-1990s, it was used to describe any hybrid between a poodle and a springer. The published history of the springerdoodle is relatively recent. The first recorded use of the term “Springerdoodle” was in 1994. The first known reference to the springerdoodle as a distinct type of dog was in 1998.
