Aussiedoodles

Aussiedoodles are considered a designer breed. They are part poodle and part Australian Shepherd. With this breed you are able to get the great coat, build, and personality of the Australian Shepherd and mix that with the beautiful curly hypoallergenic (non-shedding) coat of the poodle. Aussiedoodles are smart, loving, loyal, and make great companions. We have even had a few of our aussiedoodles go to families with special needs and become a service dog or companion for their children. They have been used in communities as narcotic dogs, seeing eye dogs, search and rescue dogs, and service dogs. They are highly intelligent and are easy to train and house train. Aussies love their "people" and will be very loyal to you and your children.

OUR PUPPIES

Our puppies are raised with our family. They will be loved and spoiled by us and our kids before coming to your home. They will come with tails docked, dew claws removed, and a vet check up at 6 weeks. Each of our puppies will arrive healthy and happy. We include a quart sized bag of our puppy food (Purina Puppy chow mixed with a "Victor brand" high calorie supplement), their identifying collar, and health papers. We have had great reviews from previous puppies and their families. 

COLORS

I will explain the different color variations you can find in Australian Shepherds. These beautiful colors and marking can be found in our aussiedoodles with the added curly non-shedding coat of the poodle. Making them truly beautiful.

Aussies are known for their beautiful coloring. There are four main colors in Australian Shepherds. Black Tri, Blue Merle, Red Merle and Red Tri. Here are the colors right to left they are, red tri, red merle, blue merle, black tri.

With in the tri colored aussies you can have; sold black or red, bi colored meaning black or red with white, or the tri colored, which are a bi colored aussies, with copper points. Copper points are varying shades of red coloring that highlight the face and/or legs. These markings can take up to a full year to fully mature and develop. The puppy below is an example of how copper points mature over time.

The merle gene is what gives the merle aussies  that marbled look. How this gene works is it takes a tri colored pup and randomly fades the coat. The merle gene can effect as little as one spot on a dog to almost the entire dog. With the merle colors you can also get the copper points. Another coloring that some aussies will have is called ticking. Ticking appears around 6-8 weeks and is black spots on the white areas of an aussie, usually on face and legs. Below is one of our previous puppies at 3 weeks then at 8 weeks. You can see the ticking at shows on her face.

The merle puppies have a chance blue eyes. This happens when the merle fading gene effects around the eyes and takes away the brown pigment you usually see. There are three different types you can find. Brown eyes this is where the merle gene didn't effect them at all. Blue eyes where the merle gene effected both eye equally. Or marbled eyes / two colors of eyes when the merle gene only effected one eye, leaving one brown and one blue, or it effected just part of an eye, making half of it brown and the other half blue, other wise known as marbling.

Example of brown eyes

 Blue eyes

 Two colors of eyes, one brown and one blue

slight marbling of one eye

NEVER bred two merles together. This can result in a double merle, which is loss of all pigment, making the pup blind or deaf or both. 
We can not guarantee a puppy with blue or brown eyes or with or without cooper markings. Each puppy is unique and may or may not get these color variations.

Aussiedoodles are wonderful dogs. They are a magnificent mix of both poodles and Aussies. We have enjoyed having them in our family for years. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
