Emma Hope's Aussiedoodles

 If you're interested in an Aussiedoodle puppy, it’s best to learn about all stages in the life of your pet.  Below is a quick synopsis, and yes… we've listed some books that we feel are "a good start" below.

The Aussiedoodle is a relatively new crossbreed, as recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club. However, the American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club have not recognized the experimentation with these “designer dogs”.

The key in cross breeding to purebred dogs is what is called hybrid vigor, the breeding results in a healthier dog with superior common genetic disorders. The Aussiedoodles have low-shedding and low-dander characteristics and a higher intelligence from the Poodle. The Aussiedoodle is an attractive dog that comes in a wide variety of colors with coats ranging from a silky texture to soft and wooly waves.

Colors:    Colors can vary widely, ranging from solids and patterned to brilliantly-hued red merle (red and silver or buff marbled) and blue merles (marbled gray and black). Eye colors also vary, with golden brown eyes being most common, but also appearing in shades such as dark-brown and blue.

Temperament:    Aussiedoodles are known for their amazing intelligence and their sweet, yet outgoing personalities.  Interacting well with other pets, they are touted as being a wonderful family dog, with plenty of patience for even small children.

     They do not make guard dogs but are worthy companion animals who don't tend to play favorites. 

Training: The Aussiedoodle is intelligent and eager to learn. They succeed in obedience and require early socialization. The Aussiedoodle will not respond to harsh words, yelling or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with reward, firmness, fairness, patience, and consistency. They seem to thrive in an environment where they are challenged.

   We've found the Aussiedoodle to be a great therapy dog with a strong desire to bond and with amazing empathy. 

Activity:    Very athletic and require a high degree of physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. They will do well in an apartment provided that their needs are sufficiently met. Aussidoodles do best with a securely fenced yard where they have amble room to run and play with you (yes, "we" all need time to simply unwind!).

    An hour of walk / play time would be greatest, but they should be fine with 1/2 hour if I play with him (fetch, frisbee, hide the thing, hide and seek) and train him for even just 5 minutes a day, he's okay. These dogs enjoy mental stimulation as much as physical. They need both.

Living Environment: Fenced yard, leash, socialization and training.

Health Issues:    The Aussiedoodle is commonly much healthier and tends to live longer than their purebred ancestors; however, the truth is that hybrid breeds may be susceptible to some of the same hereditary diseases as their parent breeds (such as hip dysplasia, disorders of the patella or elbow and eye diseases). 

* Unlike the majority of Aussiedoodle breeders, at Emma Hope’s Aussiedoodles, we acknowledge these health concerns and that is why

we Health Test our Sires & Dams.

After all... would you expect anything less from your breeder?
