All About the Aussiedoodle

The Aussiedoodle (AKA Aussiepoo or Australian Shepherd/Poodle) is a mixed breed dog, the result of breeding an Australian Shepherd with a Poodle. As a crossbreed, there are many different ways that breeders can mix the two breeds to alter the genetic makeup of the Aussiedoodle. The most common Aussiedoodle generations are F1s but here at Crooked Creek, we like to focus on the rare colors and generations where each generation has a different percentage mix of Australian Shepherd to Poodle. Aussiedoodles make wonderful, loveable, energetic, great companions. 

We Produce F1b and Higher because those are the most sought-after and rare.

 An F1b Aussiedoodle is created by crossing an F1 Aussiedoodle with a purebred Poodle that is either a Toy, Miniature, or standard-sized. The resulting dog is 25% Australian Shepherd and 75% Poodle.

Yes, F1b Aussiedoodles are hypoallergenic as they don’t release much dander (dead skin cells) into their immediate environment when they shed. F1b Aussiedoodles are more hypoallergenic than F1 Aussiedoodles as they are cross-backed to a Poodle which is a more hypoallergenic breed than the Australian Shepherd. 

F1b Aussiedoodles only shed a minimal amount each year. They will drop a few strands of hair here and there throughout the year and will not go through seasonal shedding. F1b Aussiedoodles like other cross-back generations of the breed shed less than F1 Aussiedoodles as they have a higher percentage of Poodle genes. 

The best way to reduce the amount that your dog sheds is to regularly brush them. Slicker brushes are great for dogs with single coats and de-shedding tools are great for dogs with double coats. 

The “F” in F1bb Aussiedoodle means “filial”, the “1” means first generation, and the “bb” means double back-cross. An F1bb Aussiedoodle has been crossed back to a purebred Poodle twice. 

An F1bb Aussiedoodle is a cross between an F1b Aussiedoodle (Aussiedoodle x Poodle) and a purebred Poodle which can be a toy, miniature or standard-sized. They are 12.5% Australian Shepherd and 87.5% Poodle. F1bb Aussiedoodles are not very common.

The “F” in F2b Aussiedoodle means “filial”, the “2” means second generation, and the “b” means back-cross. An F2b Aussiedoodle is the second back-cross generation of the breed. Back-cross means that the dog has been bred back to a purebred Poodle.

An F2b Aussiedoodle is created by crossing an F2 Aussiedoodle with a purebred Poodle that is either Toy, Miniature, or standard-sized. The resulting dog is 25% Australian Shepherd and 75% Poodle.
