The Australian Mountain Doodle is essentially a mix between the Aussiedoodle and the Bernedoodle. With the Australian Mountain Doodle you get the best of all three breeds! The health and smarts of the Australian Shepherd, the sweet and gentle nature of the Bernese, plus the allergy friendly properties and longevity of the Standard Poodle!

​

Why Choose the Australian Mountain Doodle?

​

The Australian Mountain Doodle is the perfect blend between a easy going, playful, and allergy friendly dog. Our goal for our Australian Mountain Doodles is to create a lower energy Aussiedoodle while improving the lifespan of the Bernedoodle side, thus enhancing the main trait that the other breed lacks. Can't decide between the Aussiedoodle or Bernedoodle? Consider the Australian Mountain Doodle where you get the qualities of the Aussiedoodle and Bernedoodle that we love all in one package!

 

We were one of the very first breeders to intentionally produce this unique cross! Our idea for mixing the Australian Shepherd, Bernese, and Poodle stemmed in early 2015 when we brought home Ozzy, our first F1 Aussiedoodle male and shortly after our very first F1 Bernedoodle female, Zoey. We fell completely in love with the personalities and characteristics that both breeds had to offer and thought how wonderful this mix would be combined together. Our goal was to create the perfect family dog that not only had a longer lifespan, but also had an energy level that would be ideal for the average household. We wanted the smarts, willingness to please, athletic Australian Shepherd heritage to round out and compliment the easy going, gentle nature and lovable Bernese Mountain Dog that everyone adores. Combined with the stellar temperament, loyalty and coat traits derived from the Poodle we knew this would be one extraordinary cross! Over the course of two years we then sought out the perfect pairing to produce our first F1 generation Australian Mountain Doodle litter in 2018. We truly hit the Jackpot with our first litter from Willow and Jack! We are now working towards perfecting a Multigen Australian Mountain Doodle line and hope to continue to spread the word about our newfound love, the AMD!  

​

Coat & Grooming:

​

Australian Mountain Doodles can have a straight, wavy, or curly coat depending on the generation and parents used. Most Australian Mountain Doodles tend to shed very little if any at all. Our Multigenerational Australian Mountain Doodles are recommended for those with mild pet allergies. 

​

The Australian Mountain Doodle coat will require frequent brushing when grown out and is fairly easy to maintain when trimmed. An Australian Mountain Doodle's coat is different than a double coated dog and can be shaved without damaging the hair. We recommend daily brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to avoid tangles and matting.  

​

Activity:

They are fairly versatile and do well in any type of living situation as long as their needs are met!
