🐶 5 Things to Know Before Bringing Home Your Aussiedoodle Puppy
Bringing home a new puppy is one of life’s most exciting moments — and when it’s an Aussiedoodle, you're in for a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate companion. Whether you’re in Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, or across the water on Vancouver Island, welcoming an Aussiedoodle into your home is a big step. Here are 5 things to know before the big day!
1. Aussiedoodles Are Smart — Like, Really Smart
Aussiedoodles are a mix of Australian Shepherd and Poodle, two of the most intelligent breeds out there. This means they pick up training quickly — but it also means they need mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, obedience games, and daily learning keep their clever minds active and happy.
✅ Pro Tip: Start training early with short, positive sessions. Your Aussiedoodle will thrive with consistency and praise.
2. They Need Exercise (But They’ll Also Cuddle!)
These pups are active and love the outdoors. Walks through Chilliwack trails or beach time on Vancouver Island? Count them in. But after they've burned off their energy, they’re perfectly happy to cuddle up at your feet or on the couch.
✅ Pro Tip: Plan for 30–60 minutes of activity daily, especially during the puppy months.
3. Grooming Is a Must (But It’s Worth It!)
Aussiedoodles often have beautiful, wavy coats that are low-shedding — but they do need upkeep. Regular brushing helps prevent tangles and matting. A professional groom every 6–8 weeks will keep their coat healthy and clean.
✅ Pro Tip: Get your puppy used to being brushed early. Make it a calm, bonding time.
4. Socialization Is Key
Your Aussiedoodle will be full of energy and curiosity. The early months are the best time to introduce them to different sights, sounds, and people. At Cheam View Doodles, we start this process — and we encourage families to keep it going.
✅ Pro Tip: Go for short car rides, meet other friendly dogs, and let your puppy experience different environments safely.
5. Your Life Is About to Get a Lot More Joyful
Aussiedoodles are affectionate, playful, and full of personality. From morning kisses to goofy zoomies, your pup will quickly become a loved member of your family.
✅ Pro Tip: Be ready for a little chaos and a lot of joy. Aussiedoodles make great companions for families, singles, and seniors alike.
