Friendly, intelligent and energetic, the Irish Doodle – a cross between the Irish Setter and Poodle – typically grows to a medium-to-large size and suits active families who enjoy outdoor time. They tend to be affectionate and people-oriented, quick to learn and eager to please, though their high energy means they need daily exercise, mental stimulation and regular grooming to manage a curly or wavy coat. Prospective owners should consider space for play, time for training and brushing, and regular health checks rather than expecting a low-maintenance pet.
