Where does the Irish Trudle come from?
Also known as a hybrid dog, the Irish Trudle has no specific origin or history to speak of. He is part of a trend over the past two decades of breeding two purebreds together, known as the designer dog. Some designer dogs are successful and some are not, but there are no breeding standards and no guarantees. Sometimes you get the best of two parents, sometimes more of a mix and sometimes the worst. There are also many mills and breeders who have no regard for the health or well-being of the dogs they breed and are just out to make money. So be careful who you buy from. Since we do not know anything about his origin, we can look to the ancestors to get a sense of their temperament, appearance and traits.Poodle.
One of the older breeds still around today is the poodle. Although many people believe that the poodle is a French dog, it actually has German origins where it was bred as a waterfall retriever. It was French though that improved the breed we know today. And it was also the French who gave us the sculptural coat and the idea to paint it! For hundreds of years there have been three sizes of poodles, standard, miniature (used for hunting truffles) and toy (kept as companions of the rich). Nomads and traveling circuses saw the poodle and adopted it in their shows and discovered that it was very trainable and were the first to create an expense, which was noticed and copied by the French nobility.Today the poodle is blessed with some entertainment thanks to the fact that they sometimes end up on foreign shores, and can be seen far and wide. Although he can be aloof with strangers, he is actually very loving, loyal and playful when with his owner and family. He also likes to have fun by clowning around. He loves to please and is easy to train with his intelligence. He has a lot of energy which needs regular physical and mental stimulation to burn off.
The Irish Terrier.
The Irish Terrier was recognized in the late 1800s and is believed to be one of the oldest terrier breeds. He became a guard dog, companion and hunter. It was these dogs that eventually led to a complete ban on ear cropping in Britain. Irish Terriers were used as sentinels and messengers in World War I and were known for their loyalty and courage. Despite his amazing qualities, he has since faded in popularity.Today the Irish Terrier is a great companion that is alert with a lot of passion and curiosity. He is devoted to his owner and quite adaptable. He can also be quite independent and strong-willed which means he is not always easy to love and can be difficult to train. It needs a lot of exercise and mental activity with a strong hand. He loves people and likes to live with an active family.
Mood
The Irish Trudle is an alert and alert dog that is both obedient and a great family pet. He is intelligent and can get bored easily if not provided with mental stimulation such as puzzle toys and activities. He will express this by chewing, barking and other destructive behaviors. He is brave and loving and loves his family. He gets along well with children and loves to play. He will act to protect the family if he feels it is in danger. He will chase small animals. His intelligence means he's fairly easy to train although you need to keep lessons interesting as he gets bored easily. He is quite active and lively.What does an Irish Trudle look like?
The Irish Trudle is a medium to large dog weighing 20 to 60 pounds and standing up to 24 inches tall. It has a long head that is flat on top and proportionate to its body. It has a long mouth with a black nose and oval shaped eyes. His ears are floppy. Its coat is curly and light, dense and comes in common colors of black, tan, red, chocolate, salt and pepper, brown and white.Training and exercise requirements.
How active does an Irish Trudle need to be?
He is a very active dog with lots of energy so he will need long daily walks and plenty of play. He'll be happy to go on walks or hikes with you and will love trips to the dog park. He needs to maintain this level of activity daily to ensure he behaves well and stays healthy. Avoid messing with young Irish Trudles, however, save them after they've been rescued. He can adapt to living in an apartment as long as he gets plenty of exercise outside every day, but having a yard to play in would be preferable.Does he train quickly?
He is quite easy to train because he is smart. However he can get bored very easily and has a shorter attention span than some dogs so lessons need to be kept fun, short and well paced. Use positive and gentle training methods with him, rewards and praise work far better than any harsh methods. As with any dog, initial socialization and training is essential. Be firm and consistent in how you handle him and he will respect and obey you as his pack leader.Living with the Irish Trudle.
How much cleaning is needed?
In general the Irish Trudle is a low shedding dog and is hypoallergenic although this is something you should check with a vet if allergies are a concern. He has low grooming needs and only needs a brush and bath twice a week when he gets really dirty. Make sure you use dog shampoo. He will need to brush his teeth at least two or three times a week with puppy toothpaste. Check his ears once a week and wipe them with a cloth or cotton ball. You can moisten with water or use an ear cleaning solution. His nails will also be clipped if they get too long but be careful because his nails are not like yours, they have blood vessels and nerves at the bottom so you can't cut too low.Name
