These cute & bouncy dogs will make you melt with their expressions and bubbly, happy-go-lucky attitude. But AussieDoodles aren't for everyone; can you handle this intelligent and attention demanding breed?

"We puppies love to run and sniff around our yards freely!"

"You'll need to take me out to potty and run off my energy, many times a day. I don't want to be on a leash in my own yard."

We suggest our smaller size dogs for families with no yards.

Dogs (no matter what the breed) who can't bleed off energy by running, and satisfy their instincts of sniffing out their own yard, can become anxious.

I live in a residence with a fenced in yard.

I live in a residence with a yard that is not fenced.

I live in a residence without a fenced in yard but there is a dogpark near by.

How important is it for you to have dog that is easy to train?

I'm ok with a dog who learns a little bit slower, I don't need a show off.

I don't really care, as long as it can be potty trained.

AussieDoodles shed very little if any at all, but they require regular grooming so their coats stay soft and fluffy. If not groomed regularly, they can get matted.
