Temperament and Behavior of Aussiedoodles:

Social by nature, Aussiedoodles form strong bonds with their families and get along great with other pets. Their playful and gentle demeanor makes them excellent with children, making these pups a perfect fit for families of all sizes.

**Health and Care of a Petite-Mini Aussiedoodle: ** Just like any other breed, Aussiedoodles can be prone to certain health issues. These may include hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and some skin conditions. All of our breeding dogs have been genetically tested and cleared for heritable diseases to help bring you peace of mind. Regardless of genetics, regular vet visits and a balanced diet are key to keeping your Aussiedoodle in tip-top shape! Their no to low-shedding coats are perfect for allergy sufferers. We do recommend regular brushing, at least once a week, to ensure mats are prevented and removed promptly.

Considering the lifespan of both parent breeds, the estimated lifespan for their offspring (Mini Aussiedoodle) would typically range from 12 to 15 years. This range can be influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, healthcare, and genetic predispositions. Mini Aussiedoodles, benefiting from hybrid vigor, might sometimes live slightly longer than the average for their parent breeds. However, it’s essential to provide them with a healthy lifestyle and regular veterinary care to maximize their lifespan.

While their energy needs are significantly less than that of a standard or miniature size Australian Shepherd, a fun mix of walks, playtime, and engaging challenges like puzzle toys can keep your petite-mini Aussiedoodle happy and well-behaved. These pups are highly trainable and thrive on positive reinforcement methods like treats and praise.
