Cyclone Ridge Hybrids

Irish Wolfhound / Poodle Mixes aka Irish Wolfadoodles is the blending of a standard Poodle and an Irish Wolfhound. These puppies will be a little smaller than a Wolfhounds as seen with all of our litters to date, But don't get us wrong, they still will be large dogs, some with heights from 16 to 33" at their withers for the males,  and 16 to 30"  for the females.  A lot has to do with their parents.  As an honest breeder, we would rather be upfront and honest with you, andd it is very difficult to determine how large your puppy will get when they leave at 8 or 9 weeks old.  We can look at their bones and at their parents, we can estimate but some may take after their father (poodle) and be a little shorter or some could take after their mother (wolfhound) and be a little taller. 

We breed them to extend their lifespan. As far as weight,  we are seeing around 85 to 125 lbs for the males and 70 to 105 for the females. Ollie, the proud papa, carries a blue eye gene so we are hoping that some day we will have one with blue eyes but so far none have had it. Their eyes are usually dark brown to black but will look deep into your soul and listen to your deepest secrets, these are humans in fur coats!

Coat type - wolfhounds have a wiry top coat with a soft undercoat and as you know, poodles have a curly coat.  When you bathe your doodle, you will see the curl, but we are seeing a soft, cashmere type puppy coat in most and a few with the wiry feel.  Don't think they don't shed , they do a little.  They love being brushed and the more you do this, the better! So far, the majority of our puppies have the wolfhound fur more so than a poodle coat.

Hypoallergenic - some say that they are, some say they aren't.  They don't shed like the regular dog, however please be honest with yourself, they are still a dog.

Generations - F1s, etc - we breed only F1 Irish Wolfadoodle - meaning this F stands for "filial hybrid" a crossbred dog and then the numbers stand for the generations of breeding that has been done.  We don't backcross which is called the B or BBs. Ours come from purebred registered, genetically tested parents, both parents traits are in a ratio of 50:50.  

Lifespan - based on our research by breeding these two breeds together, your puppy could could live up to 13 years.
