Mini Aussiedoodles are a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Miniature Poodle, resulting in a unique and lovable companion.
Their weight can range from 10 to 20 pounds, with some adults reaching up to 25 pounds.
To ensure your Mini Aussiedoodle stays healthy, regular exercise is a must, with daily walks and playtime recommended.
A balanced diet is also essential, with high-quality dog food tailored to their age, size, and activity level.
Growth and Development
Mini Aussiedoodles grow at a slower pace after 9 months, and you can assume they've reached their adult size around this time. They may still be developing mentally and acting like puppies for a while.
At 6 months old, a Mini Aussiedoodle's weight can vary depending on its sex, with females weighing around 30-35 pounds and males weighing between 40-46 pounds.
Mini Aussiedoodles typically reach their full weight between 9 months to 1.5 years, with a slow growth period after the 9-month mark. They may gain only a pound or two after this point.
Mini Aussiedoodles may continue to develop mentally even after reaching their full weight, and some may not calm down until they're 2-3 years old.
Health and Nutrition
Mini Aussiedoodles are prone to weight gain, so it's essential to keep them on a regular eating schedule.
You'll need to feed them high-quality dog food that's suitable for their size, age, and activity level.
Consult your veterinarian for recommendations about your Mini Aussiedoodle's diet to ensure you're making the best choices for their health.
Overfeeding is a common mistake, so be mindful of the amount of food you're giving your Mini Aussiedoodle.
General Care
