Aussie Doodle in a Nutshell

The Aussiedoodle (also referred to as an Aussiepoo, Aussipoo, or Australian Shepherd Poodle Mix) is a mixed Australian Shepherd and Poodle breed. They’re typical:

–very intelligent

–full of energy

–herding dogs,

–very protective of their family

–extreme extrovert, happy to be with people.

They are wonderful dogs for families to bring up children and will adjust easily if the children come first in the household. Aussiedoodles are highly trainable due to their intelligence and need for human attention. They are capable of learning new tricks quickly. This makes them the perfect choice for novice dog owners because they’re usually able to pick things up quickly without needing a lot of extra practice and repetition. Aussiedoodles also make good watchdogs but barking excessively can be something you want to take time and patience at combating if it’s an issue that bothers you.

Aussiedoodles are very intelligent and have the energy levels to match their golden retriever poodle parents. They can be easily trained as they are eager to please and love to work with people. Aussiedoodles are ideal for families because they are large (around 45 lbs when grown); even though they’re larger than their poodle parents, they are still quite agile, making them good working dogs, especially retrievers. An easygoing dog that does well with older children in family settings.

They shed moderately year-round (especially during seasonal changes), but not enough to be a hassle. It’s not uncommon for them to shed less than both parents since poodles and Australian Shepherds don’t shed too much either.

They are low-maintenance dogs in terms of grooming; they only require occasional brushing depending on their coat type. Their average lifespan is 12-15 years with proper care like feeding and exercise. So with responsible care like appropriate diet and exercise, you can expect them to live a healthy and happy life for many years with you.
