Aussiedoodle History
The Aussiedoodle is a hybrid breed, which was intentionally bred by designer breeders. The breed is a result of crossing the Australian Shepherd and the Poodle in the late 1990s and early 2000s, likely in North America. Aussiedoodles are very common in the United States, given how smart, playful, and cute their parents are. The size of each Aussiedoodle will be dependent on the size of the Poodle that was bred to create the puppy. For example, Toy Poodles will lead to a smaller dog than a Standard Poodle. However, they are typically well-muscled with a slender build and strong bones. The coat of the breed can be any number of colors, including shades of black, grey, and white.
There is not a big history behind the Aussiedoodle’s origin, but the two dogs that make up this popular breed, the Australian Shepherd and the Poodle, do have a long history. First of all, as we already know, the Poodle is popular for its low-shedding coat and this is one of the reasons why their breed is so often crossed. The Poodle’s origins can be traced back to prehistoric times and it is believed that they were first bred in Germany. However, we tend to say that the Poodle originated in France due to its long and complicated history. With its woolly and curly coat, which provided protection against the chilly water, this breed became popular in France as a duck hunting dog. Although, throughout history, the Poodle has been used for many other jobs besides hunting, for example in circuses, for rescuing, and also for the rich as a companion dog. Later, the breed developed its more distinct look when noble ladies wanted to carry around little dogs as pets and this brought about the breeding of Toy and Miniature Poodles.
On the other hand, the Australian Shepherd is descended from a line of Europe’s finest herders. Despite its name, it is an American-born breed. The Australian Shepherd was created to herd livestock for ranchers and farmers in the western United States, and some Aussies still hold that job today. There are many theories about how the Australian Shepherd was created, but most people agree that its ancestors include collie and shepherd-type dogs that were imported with shipments of sheep from Australia during the 1840s. Breeders aimed to improve their herding skills and create versatile, hardworking, and clever dogs. In the years following WWII, the breed’s popularity increased rapidly, which coincided with a resurgent interest in Western-style horseback riding. Crowds at rodeos or horse shows, and audiences of western movies and TV shows, were wowed by the athletic dogs they saw. Despite the popular interest, the breed wasn’t recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1993.
Although the two parents are indifferent classification groups, herding and non-sporting, the AKC notes that both of these breeds are extremely intelligent and quite people-oriented so it is no surprise that the Aussiedoodle turned out to be such a clever, and friendly dog. However, all cross-breeding relies heavily on luck, and a good proportion of Aussiedoodles can be expected to more resemble the Australian Shepherd parents and may shed a reasonable amount. Generally speaking, mating involves Poodle fathers and Aussie mothers in order to avoid birthing difficulties, although a Standard Poodle bitch could reasonably be expected to deliver these cross-bred puppies without great difficulty. Although the Aussiedoodle has burst onto the scene only in the last ten years or so, it appears to be making a big impression and is certainly set to become one of the most popular designer breeds in the years to come.
