ALL ABOUT THE AUSSIEDOODLE "AUSSIEDOO"
The Mini Aussiedoodle is a mix between a Miniature Australian Shepherd and a Miniature Poodle. Aussiedoodles are a very intelligent, lovable, and energetic breed.
Coat:
Aussiedoodles can have a straight, wavy, or curly coat depending on the generation and parents used. Most Aussiedoodles tend to shed very little if any at all (straighter coats can be prone to more shedding). An F1B or higher generation Aussiedoodle is recommended for those with mild pet allergies.
The Aussiedoodle coat will require frequent brushing when grown out and is fairly easy to maintain when trimmed. An Aussiedoodle's coat is different than a double coated dog and can be shaved without damaging the hair. We recommend daily brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to avoid tangles and matting.
Appearance:
Aussiedoodles come in a variety of colours. We focus mainly on Blue Merle, Chocolate Merle, Chocolate Tri, and Black Tri. Aussiedoodles can have Blue, Green, or Brown eyes, even a mixture of these. All of our Aussiedoodle tails are left natural, just how nature intended! Please see our Doodle Colours page for more info on different colouration and patterns.
Size:
Our Mini Aussiedoodles generally range from 11-15 inches at the shoulder and can weigh between 8-12+ kilograms. Females tend to be smaller than males.
Temperament:
Aussiedoodles make outstanding pets for Individuals, couples or families with children of all ages. They are sweet, outgoing dogs who are full of life! The Aussiedoodle is a highly intelligent and friendly dog. They are very family orientated and love spending time with their people, therefore we recommend that they are placed in homes where owners work from home either part-time or full-time rather than being left alone for most of the day. They are a well rounded breed who love to get outside and play but can be just as content to lay at your feet.
Training:
Aussiedoodles are extremely smart and eager to please. Training must be done with rewards, firmness, patience and consistency. Both of the breeds used to create the Aussiedoodle are considered to be canine Einsteins, making this one super smart cross-breed. Basic training such as "sit", "come", "stay" etc. should start as soon as you take your Aussiedoodle home to insure your puppy starts off on the right foot. It is important to crate train your Aussiedoodle when they are young so that they don't become destructive in your home and are reliable with potty training.
Activity:
Aussiedoodles require exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and getting into trouble. They will do well in any living situation provided that their needs are sufficiently met. They will do best if given daily walks and playtime. Most Aussiedoodles enjoy swimming, going on hikes, and excel in agility. Aussiedoodles have a medium to high energy level and are best for those who live an active lifestyle.
