The Aussiedoodle is a hybrid between the Australian Shepherd and the Poodle, bringing together the athleticism and work ethic of the Aussie with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle. These dogs are clever, devoted, and people-focused, making them a wonderful choice for active families who enjoy including their dog in daily life and adventures.

​

Size & Weight

Aussiedoodles come in different sizes depending on their Poodle parent:

• Standard Aussiedoodles typically weigh 40 to 70 pounds and stand around 19 to 24 inches tall.

• Mini Aussiedoodles generally weigh 20 to 35 pounds and measure about 14 to 18 inches tall.

Their size and athletic build make them versatile companions who can keep up on walks, hikes, and playtime, while still enjoying downtime with their families.

​

Temperament

Aussiedoodles are known for being highly intelligent, affectionate, and eager to please. They tend to bond closely with their people and love being part of whatever the family is doing—whether that’s learning new tricks, going for a car ride, or relaxing at home.

Because of their Australian Shepherd heritage, many Aussiedoodles are naturally observant and responsive, with a strong desire to “work with” their humans. They are typically very trainable and enjoy learning, especially when training is based on positive reinforcement.

Some Aussiedoodles may show light herding tendencies, such as circling or nudging when excitement is high, particularly around running children. Early socialization and clear, consistent boundaries help channel their energy in a positive way so they grow into confident, well-mannered companions.

​

Activity Level

Aussiedoodles generally have a moderate to high activity level. They thrive with daily exercise and mental stimulation and are happiest when they have a mix of physical activity and “brain work.”

They tend to enjoy walks, hiking, fetch, puzzle toys, and short training sessions that let them use their minds and bodies. Without enough outlets for their energy, they can become bored, so they do best in homes where they are regularly engaged and included in family routines.

For families seeking a smart, athletic, and affectionate doodle who loves both adventure and cuddle time, the Aussiedoodle can be a fantastic fit.
