| Overview: | The Aussiedoodle is a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Poodle, usually a Standard or Miniature Poodle. Both of the breeds used to create Aussiedoodles are considered to be canine Einsteins, making this one super smart cross-breed. |
| Breed Group: | Companion |
| Weight (lbs): | 20-70 lbs |
| Colors: | black, brown and white |
| Coat: | Aussiedoodles can have different types of fur. Some have the long, straight hair of the Australian Shepherd, others resemble a Poodle with loose curls and some fall somewhere in the middle. |
| Temperament: | Temperament is affected partly by inheritance and partly by environment, so it can be variable. An Aussiedoodle’s temperament depends on several things: the temperaments of his parents, especially the mother, who is more likely to influence a puppy’s behavior, the amount of socialization he receives and the particular genes he inherits. In general, though, Aussiedoodles are friendly dogs who are devoted to their families. They have some possible quirks, though, that you should be aware of. |
| Care: | Aussiedoodles are not low-maintenance dogs when it comes to grooming. Depending on his coat type, plan to brush the Aussiedoodle at least every other day. If he has a curly coat, you may need to have him clipped every eight to 12 weeks. The rest is basic care. Trim his nails as needed, usually every few weeks. Keep the ears clean and dry to prevent bacterial and yeast infections. Brush the teeth for good overall health and fresh breath. |
| Activity: | Aussiedoodles have a moderate to high activity level. They need a good walk or active playtime each day, and they are athletic enough to participate in such dog sports as agility, flyball, obedience and rally. They can also be excellent therapy dogs. |
