Aussiedoodle Breed description: Character & Co

What is the origin of the Aussiedoodle?

To speak of an Aussiedoodle as a mixed breed is not quite correct. This is because it is a hybrid dog. This means the planned mating of two parent animals of different breeds. Among other things, hybrids are created to unite positive characteristics of two breeds in one dog. One part of the Aussiedoodle is the poodle, a breed that has probably been existing in Western Europe for 400 years. This assumption is based on the work "Historica animalium" of the natural scientist Conrad Gesner dating back to the 16th century. In it he describes a dog that was shorn from the shoulders to the tip of its tail. The conspicuous shearing also had a special purpose in the centuries that followed: since poodles were used to hunt waterfowl, the shortened fur made it easier for them to swim. From the 18th century onwards, the poodle receded more and more into the background as a hunting companion, but it caused a sensation as a society dog of the nobility and the upper social class. Since 1930, the breed has been recognised by the international association FCI. The Australian Shepard did not obtain this registration until 1996. They originate in North America, where they were used for herding meringosheep. Since Basque settlers from Australia brought them to the USA, they received their name accordingly.

What are the breed characteristics of an Aussiedoodle?

As with all animals bred from several breeds, each Aussiedoodle is individual. It cannot be predicted which characteristics will prevail. Since both the poodle and the Australian Shepard are clever animals, there are no problems when learning the basic commands. Furthermore, Aussiedoodles are child-friendly and good-natured.
