What is a Mini Aussie doodle?

A Mini Aussiedoodle is a mix between a Miniature Australian Shepherd and a Miniature Poodle. They are small, playful, and really smart. Because they come from two intelligent breeds, Mini Aussiedoodles are easy to train and love spending time with people. They usually weigh 10 to 20 pounds, making them perfect for families or people who want a small, active dog. Their size and personality make them great companions for both kids and adults!

An F1b generation dog is the offspring of an F1 generation dog and a purebred dog. It has 75% of the purebred parent’s breed and 25% of the other parent’s breed. F1b Aussiedoodles are even less likely to shed than F1 Aussiedoodles. They are a good choice for people with severe allergies.

Average Size of Mini Aussiedoodles: How Big Do They Get?

Mini Aussiedoodles are small dogs, but their size can vary slightly. On average, a Mini Aussiedoodle will weigh between 10 to 20 pounds when fully grown. Their height usually ranges from 12 to 18 inches tall at the shoulder. The size of a Mini Aussiedoodle depends a lot on genetics. Since they are a mix between a Miniature Poodle and a Mini Australian Shepherd, their size can be influenced by the size of their parents. If the parents are on the smaller side, the puppy will likely be smaller. But if the parents are larger, the Mini Aussiedoodle could grow closer to 20 pounds. Even though Mini Aussiedoodles are small, they still have a lot of energy and love to run and play. Hence, they’re the perfect size for people who want a fun, active dog but in a smaller package!
