Their offspring, the Aussiedoodle, is a happy, super smart, and high-energy dog that needs to keep its body and mind busy. Not only are these dogs smart and energetic, but they look great too!
Needless to say, the Aussie and Poodle are two of the most intelligent dogs with two of the most beautiful coats. Aussiedoodles' curly, wavy, or straight coats are stunning to behold, and an Aussiedoodle puppy is heartbreakingly cute.

Aussiedoodles can have curly, wavy, or straight coats and can be black, brown, and red. They can also be red merle and blue merle. The red merle coat exhibits a striking pattern that combines various shades of red, cream, and white, while the blue merle Aussiedoodle's coat color features a captivating pattern of black, gray, and white patches.

Aussiedoodles are known for their high energy levels, thus they aren't recommended for non-active families. A reputable breeder can try to help you select one based on energy level, though. Aussiedoodles are always up for a family adventure—especially hikes and long walks, as well as trips to the park. These dogs' coats also require frequent grooming and trims to keep them looking their best. Due to the required upkeep on their coats and their high energy levels, Aussiedoodles are deemed high-maintenance.

Aussiedoodles' expressive round eyes, which can be blue, soft green, light amber, or deep brown, are truly striking. Some Aussiedoodles even have different-colored eyes, also known as heterochromia, a condition that commonly occurs in Australian shepherds. Aussiedoodles typically have round heads, short muzzles with occasional mustaches, and wooly and floppy ears, albeit both parent breeds have long, narrow snouts.

Australian shepherds are famous livestock herders whereas Poodles are water retrievers. Thus, some Aussiedoodle puppies may possess a natural herding instinct, while others may display both instinctual behaviors of herding and retrieving. Your Aussiedoodle might attempt to herd your children by nipping at their heels. Although this is not considered an aggressive behavior, you shouldn't permit it, or else it can become a real problem. Thankfully, Aussiedoodles are smart and highly trainable and can be thought to stop this behavior.
Aussiedoodles are generally healthy dogs with an average life expectancy of 10 to 13 years. However, every breed is prone to certain health issues and the Aussiedoodle is no exception. This hybrid dog may develop health conditions common to both parent breeds. Although good breeding will minimize the risk of inherited issues, Aussiedoodles can still be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, hereditary eye defects, and epilepsy, according to the US Australian Shepherd Association. The Poodle Club of America, on the other hand, notes that the Aussiedoodle is prone to Addison's disease, aka adrenal insufficiency, which is a rare disorder of the adrenal glands.
It is advisable to talk to your veterinarian about these conditions in your Aussiedoodle.
In the U.S., Aussiedoodles usually cost $1,200–$4,000, depending on factors such as age and coat color, with merle Aussiedoodles often being pricier. If you are bringing home an Aussiedoodle puppy or an adult dog, here are the essential supplies you need for your new arrival.
