Appearance
Aussiedoodles are a diverse Poodle breed and boast several texture variations and coat colors. Only the qualitative characteristics of their Australian Shepherd parent are present, while their coat colors come from their Poodle parent.
The color coat of an Aussiedoodle dog can range from white, tan, beige, grey, brown, red, black, and chocolate.
Apart from their soft and scruffy tricolor coat, their round eyes are strikingly expressive. Their eye color ranges from soft green, deep brown, bright blue, and light green. Some Aussiepoodles even develop heterochromia, an eye condition that causes multi-coloration of the iris.
Although both the parent, Australian Shepherd and Poodles, have long and narrow snouts, Aussiedoodles don’t. They usually have short muzzles, round heads, big noses, mustaches, and floppy ears.
