Unsure About Your Aussiedoodle’s Supersize Potential? 2024 Size Guide

Last Updated on March 28, 2024 by themubbi63

Aussiedoodles, the crossbreed between the poodle and the Australian shepherd, is a playful, friendly, outgoing sort of dog. Unlike a lot of their poodle crossbreed cousins, they’re on the bigger side. That’s because of their Australian shepherd blood, which sort of guarantees that they’ll be over 14 inches in height. This designer breed is just as popular nowadays as the goldendoodle or the Labradoodle.

Aussiedoodle Height

Because of their poodle ancestry, there’s really no saying how tall an aussiedoodle will be. Ranging in height from 14 to 25 inches (35.5 – 63.5 cm) at the shoulder, it’s all a matter of how big their poodle ancestor was. The toy aussiedoodle just about reaches 14 inches while miniature aussiedoodles are bigger. 

Aussiedoodles are generally considered small to medium sized dogs. They’ll never become very big where height is concerned, although some can get quite heavy. One reason for this is that neither the Australian shepherd nor the poodle (even the standard size) is a particularly big dog.

Aussiedoodle	14 – 25	35.5 – 63.5

Aussie doodle Weight

Just as is the case with their height, the weight of an aussiedoodle can vary widely. Weighing anywhere between 25 and 75 lb (11 – 34 kg), it’s all a matter of whether they were bred from a toy poodle, a miniature poodle or a standard poodle. 

Since the weight of an Australian shepherd doesn’t vary that much from one specimen to the other, it’s the poodle that contributes to it. At its biggest, an Aussie doodle might outstrip both the Australian shepherd and the poodle in size and weight. 

We can usually classify Aussie doodles into three weight categories. Those with toy poodle ancestry weigh about 20 lb while those with miniature poodle ancestry weigh between 30 – 40 lb. Those with standard poodle ancestry, on the other hand, max out at 75 lb.

Animal	Pounds	Kilograms
Aussiedoodle	25 – 75	11 – 34

Aussie doodle Puppy Size

Like with all doodle types (that is, crossbreeds that include poodles) Aussie doodle puppies come in a range of sizes. At 8 weeks of age, mini Aussie doodles can range from 4 – 7 lb. However, the puppies that come from toy poodles and standard poodles might be smaller or larger respectively.

A pretty reliable rule of thumb is that the larger the dog the longer it takes to reach maturity. Toys and minis might reach their final body weight by their 8th or 9th month while standards might take longer.

Aussie doodle Litter Size

Aussiedoodles have an average litter size of 3 to 6 dogs. However, you have to keep in mind that this is an average. Like with any dog breed, it’s not unheard of to just have one puppy. Nor is it impossible for a healthy mother to have 14 – 17 puppies in one litter.

Aussiedoodle Size Comparison to Humans

With a height of 14 – 25 inches, aussiedoodles just about reach 2 feet to the 5 feet 7 inches that is average for a human man. Aussie doodles often have pretty long legs that make them look taller than they actually are. The curly hair often gives them a very compact appearance.

Aussiedoodle Vs Australian Shepherd Size Comparison

We can’t end this article without comparing the Aussie doodle to its parent breeds. After all, that’s a pretty good indication of where its height and weight comes from. The Australian shepherd dog (not actually Australian at all) is much more consistent in its measurements than the Aussie doodle.

The Australian shepherd generally stands at a height of 18 – 23 inches (46 – 58 cm) with females being slightly shorter than males. It also weighs around 50 – 65 lb (23 – 29 kg). Thus, not only can we see the wide fluctuations from the Aussie doodle as compared to its parent breed, we can also see that it can outstrip the Australian shepherd in size.

Animal	Height	Weight
Aussiedoodle	14 – 25 inches (35.5 – 63.5 cm)	25 – 75 lb (11 – 34 kg)
Australian Shepherd	18 – 23 inches (46 – 58 cm)	50 – 65 lb (23 – 29 kg)

Aussiedoodle Vs Poodle Size Comparison

The aussiedoodle actually owes a lot of its height and weight to the kind of poodle that it is descended from. Breeders can make pretty accurate judgements about what the body weight of a puppy will be with the knowledge of who its parents were.

Given that there are three kinds of poodles, they can range in size from 9 to 24 inches (23 – 61 cm) and in weight from 4 to 70 lb (1.8 – 31.7 kg). Aussie doodles vary slightly less because of their Australian shepherd parentage which adds some consistency.

Animal	Height	Weight
Aussie doodle	14 – 25 inches (35.5 – 63.5 cm)	25 – 75 lb (11 – 34 kg)
Toy Poodle	9 – 10 inches (23 – 25 cm)	4 – 6 lb (1.8 – 2.7 kg)
Miniature Poodle	10 – 15 inches (25 – 38 cm)	10 – 15 lb (4.5 – 6.8 kg)
Standard Poodle	18 – 24 inches (46 – 61cm)	50 – 70 lb (22.6 – 31.7 kg)

Aussiedoodle Vs Goldendoodle Size Comparison

One of the most popular designer breeds in the United States today, the Goldendoodle is the crossbreed between the golden retriever and the poodle. They come in a variety of sizes and weights, just like all doodles.

A goldendoodle might, depending on whether it’s descended from a toy, mini or standard poodle, be 10 inches at the shoulder or 25 inches (25 – 63.5 cm). This would place the average Aussie doodle at a slightly taller stature since they measure around 14 – 25 inches. Goldendoodles vary just as much in weight, ranging from 15 to 80 lb (6.8 – 36 kg).

Animal	Height	Weight
Aussiedoodle	14 – 25 inches (35.5 – 63.5 cm)	25 – 75 lb (11 – 34 kg)
Goldendoodle	10 – 25 inches (25 – 63.5 cm)	15 – 80 lb (6.8 – 36 kg)

Conclusion

Aussiedoodle size varies depending on their poodle parent (toy, miniature, or standard). This guide equips you with the knowledge to understand your Aussie doodle’s growth potential and prepare for your future furry companion!
