Temperament of the Miniature Aussiedoodle

Your hybrid furry family member will make an excellent addition to the family. They are described as courageous, energetic, gentle, intelligent, loyal, outgoing, protective, calm and social. They are also very good with children, the family cat, other dogs and animals, with early socialization helping to achieve this. Miniature Aussiedoodles are friendly with everyone, which can affect their ability to be an effective watchdog. They are intelligent and have an eager-to-please attitude, which makes them easy to train using positive training methods. This is not a dog that will do well when left alone for long periods, with the strong capacity to develop annoying destructive behaviors that accompany boredom. They'll love a home that has a family member at home. They are active and energetic, and also love to play. |
Needs and activities of the Miniature Aussiedoodle
|
| Your Miniature Aussiedoodle is an energetic small to medium-sized dog. He needs 40 to 60 minutes of exercise a day to manage these energy levels. Daily walks or jogs, recreation in the dog parks along the way, playing in the fenced yard or playing fetch or Frisbee will be much appreciated by your furry family member. Agility and obedience training after the age of 1 will also help keep them mentally occupied. Agility training is not recommended before the age of 1 to reduce the risk of permanent damage to their young, tender bones. They can live in an apartment, condo or family home, with or without a fenced yard, in urban or rural settings. Because their heritage incorporates hunting and tracking, you'll be well advised to keep your pet on a leash whenever it's outside the house or yard, unless of course you like to chase them as they follow the latest and greatest interesting scent wherever it leads. These puppies are an excellent choice for all climates, having a coat that allows them to tolerate both hot and cold climates. |
Maintenance of the Miniature Aussiedoodle
|
| The Miniature Aussiedoodle, a hybrid breed of the Miniature American Shepherd and the Miniature Poodle, is considered a low-maintenance dog. The hybrid itself is a seasonal excretor that should be brushed two or three times a week. As the parent breed of the Miniature Poodle is hypoallergenic, there's a chance that your hybrid pet will be, which perhaps makes this dog an excellent choice for those with respiratory problems or asthma. Your Miniature Aussiedoodle hybrid will need to have its ears checked and cleaned weekly as part of the grooming process. Dental check-ups and at-home tooth brushing at least two to three times a week, if not daily, will help prevent periodontal disease and the tooth loss that goes with it. Toenails should also be checked weekly as part of the grooming process, and trimmed if necessary. Hybrids don't need to be bathed unless it's necessary to maintain the oils needed for the coat. The level of odor and drool from this hybrid is considered low. |
