Overview:

The F2 Aussiedoodle, a second-generation cross between two F1 Aussiedoodles, embodies the delightful traits of its parent breeds: the Australian Shepherd and the Poodle. Originating from designer breed trends, F2s offer more predictability in coat and temperament than earlier generations. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 25-70 pounds, boasting a soft, wavy, or curly coat that can be a variety of colors and patterns, often exhibiting the striking "merle" of the Aussie. Their temperament is generally intelligent, affectionate, and energetic, making them highly trainable and eager to please. Aussiedoodles are known for being excellent family pets due to their gentle nature with children and other animals, though their energy levels mean they thrive with active families and a yard. While adaptable, apartment living can be challenging without sufficient exercise. Health considerations, similar to their parent breeds, can include hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions like progressive retinal atrophy, and epilepsy. Regular grooming is essential to prevent matting, especially for curlier coats.
