Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Canaan Dog or the Schnoodle.
Canaan Dog versus Schnoodle: Overview
A very important difference between the Canaan Dog and the Schnoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Canaan Dog is a medium-sized dog while the Schnoodle is a large-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Canaan Dog belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
On the other hand, the Schnoodle belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.
