Mixed breed from United States
The Aussiedoodle is a mixed breed dog, a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Poodle. It is known for being intelligent, energetic, friendly, loyal, affectionate, and playful. Because it is a mixed breed, its appearance and temperament can vary widely. The breed is not uniformly recognized by all registries; recognition status varies by registry. Estimated adult weight ranges from 20 to 32 kg for both males and females, and estimated adult height ranges from 51 to 64 cm. The estimated lifespan is 10 to 15 years. These measurements are modelled estimates, so actual size and lifespan may differ.
The Aussiedoodle is a modern designer crossbreed that was developed in the United States. According to available information, it originated in the late 20th century, specifically around the 1990s. The breed was created by crossing an Australian Shepherd with a Poodle, with the goal of producing a highly intelligent, low-shedding companion dog. However, the exact timeline and specific breeders involved are not well documented. As a mixed breed, its history is less formalized than that of purebred dogs, and its development is not attributed to a single recognized kennel club or registry.

No Aussiedoodle-specific screening programme or peer-reviewed disorder-prevalence study is currently attached to this profile. This is not evidence that the breed has no health risks. Owners should use routine preventive veterinary care and discuss screening appropriate to the individual dog's history, examination and family line.

Based on modelled estimates, adult Aussiedoodles typically weigh between 20 and 32 kg and stand 51 to 64 cm tall at the shoulder. Their estimated lifespan is 10 to 15 years. These are estimates, and individual dogs may vary.
Aussiedoodles are described as intelligent, energetic, friendly, loyal, affectionate, and playful. However, temperament can vary among individuals, and not every dog will display all these traits consistently.
The breed has an energy score of 3 (on a scale where higher means more energy), indicating a high energy level. They likely require regular, vigorous exercise to stay healthy and happy, but specific exercise needs can vary by individual.
Grooming score is 3, suggesting moderate grooming needs. Their coat can vary, and while they are often described as low-shedding, shedding score is also 3, meaning some shedding is possible. Regular brushing and occasional professional grooming may be needed.
Child suitability and dog compatibility scores are both 3, indicating they are generally suitable for families with children and can get along with other dogs. However, individual temperament and socialization play a big role.
Apartment suitability score is 3, suggesting they can adapt to apartment living if given enough exercise. Their energy level means they need space to run and play, so a home with a yard may be ideal.
