SCHNOODLE HISTORY
It is believed that a dog with Schnoodle heritage was first created in England and known as
the Truffle Dogs. It is believed that Toy Poodles were crossed with small dogs from the Terrier
family to create this new dog. These dogs specialized in hunting Truffles. Truffles were very
valuable and gathering them often required trespassing on others land and thus was done
at night. These dogs were very helpful in locating the Truffles in the dark of the night.
