How long do Doodles live?

Doodle Lifespan is one of the many benefits of choosing a Doodle as your newest furry family member. 

It’s been demonstrated that breeding a pure breed dog with a Poodle creates Hybrid Vigor. Hybrid Vigor helps increase the lifespan of your Doodle, especially in the larger Doodle breeds, as the genetics of the Poodle help decrease issues such as bone density which cause hip problems later in a Purebred’s life. 

Other factors such as the amount of exercise, the quality of food you feed your pet and care from a good Veterinarian also increase the lifespan of your Doodle. On average though, Doodles have a longer lifespan and fewer health issues than most Pure Breeds which is a huge benefit when thinking of adopting a Doodle!
