About

About the Aussiedoodle

The Aussiedoodle is an Australian Shepherd × Standard or Miniature Poodle cross that gained popularity in the early 2000s. The breed is not AKC-recognized; MDR1 drug sensitivity from the Australian Shepherd parent is clinically important and DNA-testable.

Aging

How Aussiedoodles age

Parents: Aussie 13.5y (AKC), Poodle 14.0y (RVC VetCompass). MDR1 drug sensitivity inherits from the Aussie parent — DNA test before ivermectin or loperamide use — with collie eye anomaly and epilepsy as secondary Aussie-inherited concerns.
