Aussiedoodle Grooming Notes

Aussiedoodle coats vary wildly depending on which parent they take after. Australian Shepherd-leaning coats are wavy, shed more, and need deshedding treatments. Poodle-leaning coats are curly, low-shedding, and mat-prone. Merle coloring looks stunning when properly groomed. Brush 3-4 times per week regardless of coat type. These are high-energy dogs that get dirty quickly, so plan for extra bathing. Their intelligence makes them generally cooperative during grooming if introduced early.
