Mini Aussiedoodle is a famous designer breed, a cross between the Miniature Australian Shepherd and Poodle. Many dog lovers are worried about these fun-loving and affectionate pups. But the question arises for people with allergies: Are Aussiedoodles hypoallergenic?
While not any dog is 100% hypoallergenic, Aussiedoodles are often considered non-shedding dogs, making them a perfect choice for people with allergies. Thanks to their Poodle mix, which can help reduce allergic reactions. It’s important to note that individual Aussiedoodle shedding levels can depend on their coat types.
Some owners with mild allergies report no reaction to their F1 Doodle or F1B Doodle, especially if the dog has non-shedding traits for the Poodle. If you are considering adopting a family pet like an Aussiedoodle, spend time with one first to see if you are reacting. While short-haired dogs are known to shed more, a well-maintained long-haired dog like the Aussiedoodle can be an excellent option for those worried about shedding and allergies.

The word isn’t as clear-cut as I see when it comes to hypoallergenic dogs. According to PetMD, all dogs produce proteins that can trigger allergies in sensitive people.
Still, some dogs are known to produce fewer allergens, making them a perfect fit for allergy sufferers. These breeds have hair instead of fur, which sheds less, and their flakes of skin(little particles of shed skin) stay trapped in their coat. This reduces the need to trigger pet allergies, which cause reactions in many people.
Even high-profile families, like Barack Obama’s, have considered allergies when choosing pets. His daughter Malia focused on a Goldendoodle, a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle, because of her allergies. However, no dog is 100% allergy-free.
Even dogs that shed less or produce minimal dander still have allergens in their skin, saliva, and urine, which can lead to coughing, itching, or wheezing for those with severe sensitivities.
Curly coats are often inherited from the Poodle parent and are the most hypoallergenic due to minimal shedding. These coats require regular grooming to prevent matting.
Wavy coats are a mix of the Australian Shepherd's and Poodle's traits, offering moderate shedding and less maintenance than curly coats. They still need regular brushing but are easier to manage.
Straight coats, resembling the Australian Shepherd, shed more than the other types and are less hypoallergenic. However, they often require less grooming effort overall.

Curly-coated Aussiedoodles are the best for people with allergies. They shed a little, but Wavy coats are also good, but they shed more than curly coats. Straight coats shed the most and are not good for people with allergies.
Even though curly-coated Aussiedoodles are good for people with allergies, no dog is truly 100% hypoallergenic. This means that people with intense allergies might still react. If you have allergies, it’s best to spend time with an Aussiedoodle to see if you have a response before getting one.
Grooming Tips for Low-Shedding Aussiedoodles
