This guide answers the most frequently asked questions about Irish Doodles while giving you an inside look at our breeding program and puppy adoption process.

What Is an Irish Doodle?

 

An Irish Doodle is a cross between an Irish Setter and a Standard Poodle. This beautiful designer breed combines the friendly, athletic personality of the Irish Setter with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle.

Irish Doodles are known for their:

• Friendly, outgoing personalities

• High intelligence

• Loving, loyal nature

• Athletic ability

• Beautiful wavy or curly coats

• Family-friendly temperament

• Excellent trainability

Because they are highly social dogs, Irish Doodles thrive when they are included in family activities and receive plenty of love and attention.

​

How Big Do Irish Doodles Get?

Most Standard Irish Doodles mature between:

• 45–75 pounds

• 22–28 inches tall at the shoulder

Size can vary depending on the parents, but most fall within this range.

​

Are Irish Doodles Hypoallergenic?

No dog is completely hypoallergenic.

However, Irish Doodles often inherit the Poodle's low-shedding coat, making them a popular choice for families looking for a dog that sheds less than many traditional breeds.

Coat types vary from puppy to puppy, so no breeder can guarantee a completely non-shedding coat.

​

Do Irish Doodles Shed?

Irish Doodles typically shed very little compared to many breeds.

Instead of shedding heavily, they require regular brushing and professional grooming to keep their coats healthy and free from mats.

​

Are Irish Doodles Good Family Dogs?

Absolutely!

Irish Doodles are known for being wonderful family companions because they are:

• Affectionate

• Gentle

• Patient with children

• Friendly with strangers

• Social with other dogs

• Loyal to their families

They enjoy being involved in everyday family life and often form close bonds with every member of the household.

​

Are Irish Doodles Good With Children?

Yes!

Irish Doodles are one of the most family-oriented doodle breeds. Their playful yet gentle personality makes them wonderful companions for children of all ages.

As with any dog, young children should always be supervised and taught how to interact respectfully with puppies.

​

Are Irish Doodles Easy to Train?

Yes.

Thanks to the intelligence of both the Irish Setter and the Poodle, Irish Doodles are eager to learn and generally respond very well to positive reinforcement training.

Early training should focus on:

• Potty training

• Crate training

• Basic obedience

• Leash walking

• Socialization

• Confidence building

Starting training early helps create a well-mannered, confident adult dog.

​

How Much Exercise Does an Irish Doodle Need?

Irish Doodles are an active breed.

Most adults benefit from:

• 60–90 minutes of daily exercise

• Walks or hikes

• Games of fetch

• Swimming

• Puzzle toys

• Training sessions

• Off-leash play in secure areas

A well-exercised Irish Doodle is happier, healthier, and less likely to develop unwanted behaviors due to boredom.

​

Are Irish Doodles Good Apartment Dogs?

Because of their size and energy level, Irish Doodles generally do best in homes with a fenced yard or access to plenty of outdoor exercise.

They can adapt to apartment living if their physical and mental exercise needs are consistently met.

​

How Often Do Irish Doodles Need Grooming?

To keep their beautiful coats healthy, plan for:

• Brushing 3–4 times each week

• Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks

• Regular nail trims

• Ear cleaning

• Dental care

Routine grooming also helps prevent painful matting.

​

How Long Do Irish Doodles Live?

The average lifespan of an Irish Doodle is approximately:

10–15 years

Providing proper nutrition, regular veterinary care, exercise, and preventative health care can help maximize their longevity.

​

What Colors Do Irish Doodles Come In?

Irish Doodles are best known for their stunning red coats, but colors may include:

• Deep Red

• Mahogany

• Apricot

• Cream

• Red with White Markings

• Abstract Patterns

• Chocolate

Each puppy has a unique coat that develops beautifully as they mature.
