I have a question on weight. What is the average weight of a full grown doodle.

My wife of 54 years grew up with a fear of dogs, I on the other hand cannot remember a time growing up when my family didn’t have a dog in the house.

Just over thirty months ago I took a plunge and we became the owners of Milo, an Australian labradoodle puppy from a reputable breeder, six months ago his one year younger biological brother Woody joined us. We are now a happy family that includes two gorgeous Australian Labradoodles.

Watching my wife “learn Dog” has been a rewarding experience, she would now die to defend them from any harm.

To say they are loved would be a gross understatement. Seeing them both cock their heads to one side when she talks to them is a holywood movie moment.

Everything in this article is correct they are incredibly intelligent, friendly, fun loving and loyal entities, not just pets.

As an example of intelligence our oldest dog Milo understood and mastered within one day the use of an electronic push button device to ask to go outside or come back in. He then proceeded wthin a few days to using the bell to get us to move towards the door so he could “steal” something that he wanted to play with like a piece of paper towel that we had been using .

The french poodle genes are front and center, both dogs will sneak up behind me and “deftly” remove my handkerchief from my trouser pockets without me feeling anything. Reminds me of the parisian metro. I”ve gone through more handkerchiefs in the last two years than the previous seventy six. A cheap price for their unconditional love and companionship.

I rescued a australian labradoodle who had been used for breeding and had not left her kennel since birth four and a half years earlier. She has the sweetest nature, but was very nervous understandably for a long time especially with men. However she is now happy to great everyone, although she does have funny little ways. She has absolutely no prey drive at all, which is wonderful as I live in the country. I only wish I had had her from a pup.

I think there’s difference between “Aussiedoodles” and “Australian Labradoodles”.

Thanks for the helpful information. Our Australian Labradoodle is a rescue although rescue may not be the correct word, re-homed perhaps as we did pay the previous owner a few hundred dollars for her. We were looking for a medium-sized dog and came upon an ad on Craigslist, with a picture of a large fully grown dog. The ad said they were looking for a new home for their Australian Labradoodle, that was now over 2-years old. The ad said parents worked a lot and teenagers spent less that 5 minutes a day with the dog. A dog run was created in their yard, where she spent her days and she was crated when in the house as she was too hard to handle, kept jumping on them and barking, etc. They said she was not trained much and couldn’t be walked often because she was too strong, pulling too much. Our hearts went out to this rather raggedy-looking dog. Although she was not exactly what we were looking for; when is anything exactly what is wanted? When we went to see her, we saw the family was fairly small in size and she was not totally comfortable on the leash. Fearing she might not be long for the planet if she was to the point of being an untrainable nuisance, we decided to take a chance. We have had her for 5 months now and have made a few mistakes along the way. She is a wonderful dog and we could not imagine being without her. Last but not least, she is quite trainable and even tries to communicate her needs. She gets over 90-minutes plus exercise most days and loves playing fetch. Our last large dog was a Shepsky and died in 2011. She was a rescue we adopted from the animal shelter when she was 16 months old. She was much loved and was almost 17-years old when she died and left us with great memories. I hope our Aussiedoodle has a long full life with us.

The colors of Goldendoodles do not come from the Golden Retriever. They come from the Poodle: black, white, apricot, gray (blue), champagne, red, tan, merle and phantom (light patches of various mixed colors).

Ruthie, our 4 month old apricot/red Australian Labradoodle is amazing! She was one of seven. Smaller than the others. Giving her “chew stuff” I would monitor her by taking it from her, inspecting, then, if appropriate, give it back. Well, this time, she ran and wanted to hide. I knelt at the spot where she ran from, watching her from a distance. She looked at me and came back to where I knelt and allowed me without a fuss to inspect the treat and gave it back to her. Very sweet, submissive and smart!

It’s good to know that Aussiedoodle puppies are known to be quite gentle. I’m planning to adopt one because my daughter has been wanting a pet ever since she was old enough to watch cartoons. Having a gentle pet would make me worry less about unnecessary barking at home.
