Is a schnoodle a cross between a schnauzer and a poodle? If so, isn't a schnauzer said to be hypoallergenic also? So why bring the poodle into it?

Slightly OT, but in my obedience class, there is a Shepadoodle (german shephard/standard poodle cross). I didn't even know they existed. The owners commented that there are only two breeders here for them. I'm not sure about this cross as the dog is female and I think 2 years old. It's a bit on the agressive side and it barks when it sees people outside the classroom. My trainer is not sure if it has an eyesight problem, or whether it is just agressive.

I really dislike Schnauzers, of any variety. There is nothing cute about them.
Samoyeds are also supposed to by hypoallergenic because they don't produce dander. Hair, yes, dander, no. At least according to my Samoyed-owning friends.

In defense of Poodles...
Scotty the Poodle is the hyper as all get out guy.. but I NEVER worry him at the dogpark, etc etc... he may have ADD and forget to listen sometimes, or completely forget what he was doing at any given moment... but I NEVER need to worry... he's just the nicest, cutest little feller.. good with all other dogs, respectful and good with people...
Toffee on the other hand... a little highstrung, lol, very reactive and barking at anybody who looks as if they may want to pet him, lol... he always tries to beat up puppies and Labs and Goldens and Doodles! Not fun when he is reactive to any of them, but some just aren't polite and just charge at him, to play *sigh* then Toffee has enough, he isn't aggressive, so he doesn't seek them out, but god forbid they get too close to his pointy lil nose

You know, people are spending all sorts of money for a "hypoallergenic" dog, when there is no such thing. I worked for years for an allergy clinic and one of the physicians made it clear that all dogs can cause allergies, some just not as much. The marketing strategy is to breed these dogs, tell people they won't have any problems with allergies and then take the money and run. Unfortunately, unsuspecting people can end up with an aggressive dog that they don't know how to or won't control and everyone else around them pays the price.

What I always keep in mind with these crosses, is.....
Would a respectable Golden Retriever Breeder EVER cross their animal with another breed. No. Never. That goes for all the mixes. A respectable Standard Poodle breeder would NEVER breed to another breed.
So....basically you are getting crap crossed with crap. So...you can expect nothing less than, well, CRAP.
Just my opinion
Bingo you hit the nail on the head.
Couple that with the ignonant people who usually own them and you have big trouble. In , my experience Goodlendoodles are usually big(giant really) hyper, out of control, and dumb. A great deal of them are reactive. Also almost every one of them I have seen had hip dysplasia due to their good breeding programs.
I have 4 Std poodles in my obedience class. I also have tons of them as clients. All of them are sweet and intellgent. Not an aggressive one in the bunch. They are so smart though they know how manipulate their owners to get out of work.
Takes a smart owner to handle them.OntarioSheltie

Glad to know its not just me! I know I let my temper get the better of me some times but the second guy who let his dog off leash after it jumped Sadie really made me angry (it was snarling, bared its teeth and went for her neck. Just pinned her and no broken skin but the dog was NOT acting appropriately at all). And not just because it happened to my dog, what if one of the kids in the park had gotten in the way and it accidentally bit a child! I don't think there would have been a lot of physical damage but no child should have to have an experience like that. His own son was only approx. 1 year old, if that! What an ignorant man! 
It doesn't matter the breed, big or small, any dog that comes into my home is IMMEDIATELY trained to act appropriately. If that dog was reactive around dogs I WOULD NOT even dream of letting it off leash around dog, especially when there were children around. Its called using common sense and being a responsible dog owner.

Melissa - guess this fellow doesn't think that dog law applies to him, only to pitbulls. I would hate to see what would have happened to a child or a smaller dog without the fur to protect it. I would think this would be considered a bite regardless of whether skin was broken or not. And the question begs to be asked, how many times in the past has this happened?

I swear, if that had been my Sheltie, I think I would have strangled that GD.
I think I would have strangled the owner and explained to the dog what manners are!
