Aussidoo Mini 2577 Boy
Origins and History
The Mini Aussiedoodle is a designer hybrid created by crossing a Miniature Australian Shepherd with a Miniature or Toy Poodle. The goal was to combine the intelligence and trainability of the Poodle with the energetic, loyal, and herding instincts of the Australian Shepherd. This breed has quickly gained popularity as a family dog because of its smarts, playful personality, and often hypoallergenic coat.
