That's what I was thinking about as we "climbed one hill". So when we next were in a recovery break, I asked what would happen if two schnoodles bred. Would you get 50% schnoodle pups, 25% schnauzer, and 25% poodle? Or maybe just a random mix of traits? That's when he said he didn't know because the question was moot. You had to sign this contract not to breed them. But my bet is that it's not the pup quality that's in question here, but the breeders' income potential. They'd rather have a monopoly.
