About the Aussiedoodle
History
The Aussiedoodle is a hybrid breed where the Australian Shepherd is crossed with the Poodle. First originating from an Australian Poodle, Aussiedoodles are now more common in the United States than in Australia.
Temperament
Aussiedoodles are cheerful, enthusiastic dogs with bundles of energy. They are extremely focused on their family, and need to be indoors and to feel included at all times. They have no tolerance for boredom or isolation, and will quickly become destructive or hyperactive if ignored or left alone for long periods, which is understandable given that they have the intelligence of a young child. Speaking of children, this hybrid is a perfect choice for families with kids. It has virtually no aggressive tendencies, and is also usually very accepting of, and gentle with, small pets of any species.
Size
The size of each Aussiedoodle will be dependent on the size of the Poodle that was bred to create the puppy (Toy Poodles will lead to a smaller dog than a Standard Poodle for example) and they are typically well-muscled with a slender build and strong bones. Aussiedoodles bred from Miniature Poodles may be as little as 12 in tall, and weigh around 22 lbs, being fairly fine-boned and lithe, while Standard Poodles tend to produce hybrid pups between 53–62 lbs that can be as tall as 22 in. Larger Aussiedoodles can have quite broad, sturdy torsos and backs, while their smaller cousins are more lightly built, though not delicate.
