Aussiedoodle

Good to know

• A crossbreed: they are a mix of Australian Shepherd and Poodle, so size, coat and temperament vary with the parents and from puppy to puppy.
• Coat varies: coats range from wavy to curly, and many need regular brushing and professional grooming to prevent mats; low shedding is not guaranteed.
• Likely busy minds: both parent breeds are smart, active working dogs, so most need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
• Possible herding streak: some inherit the Aussie's urge to herd, which can show up as nipping or circling children and pets.
• A low-shedding coat. Some people with allergies find that easier to live with, but no breed is allergen-free.
• A designer breed, from crossing two purebred parents, so size, coat and temperament vary more than in a purebred.

Getting out with a Aussiedoodle

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
