ORIGIN OF THE AUSSIEDOODLE

North American dog breeders first started to cross breed Australian Shepherds and Poodles in the late 1990s and early 2000’s to make the Aussiedoodle dog breed.

Start training your Aussiedoodle puppy the day you bring him home. Even at 8 weeks old, he is capable of soaking up everything you can teach him. Don’t wait until he is 6 months old to begin training or you will have a more headstrong dog to deal with. If possible, get him into puppy kindergarten class by the time he is 10 to 12 weeks old, and socialize, socialize, socialize.

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. They 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 8 to 12 weeks.

They’re in tune with your needs and know when you’re having a rough day, which is why many Aussiedoodles are used as service, therapy, and emotional support dogs. Gentle to all people and animals, they know you need them just as much as they need you. And that’s the best feeling in the world.

No two Aussiedoodles look identical, but most of them share the same temperament. An Australian Shepherd-Poodle mix is a companion dog, affectionate and devoted to families. They crave constant attention, so they do best indoors.

An Aussie doodle is perfect for families with kids, as the breed has extremely low aggressive tendencies. You don’t have to worry about the Aussiedoodle with other dogs, too, since they’ll play well with other small pets.
